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.

From intimate portraits of wildflowers to the grand expanse of the night sky\, it is a rich palette to work with\, and deJonge captures it with elegance and intention.

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. Early in Palmer’s artistic career\, he worked in pottery\, batik\, photography and glass before finally settling on mixed media sculpture.

As a child\, Wagner Coron often played outside\, ran in the woods and fields\, and developed a deep inward connection to the land. Her work reflects that relationship. Her husband Steven Coron\, also with a BFA from EMU\, is an artist with a deep affinity for the Great Lakes who teaches fine arts at Community High school in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. In his current photographic work\, he captures single digital images\, which he edits and joins to create digital panoramic photomontages.

These designs begin by sketching flowers from her garden and then abstracting interesting shapes from the sketches. These sketches are used when designing the pottery. Bandstra lives and has her studio in Grand Haven\, Michigan. She teaches art for Hudsonville Public Schools and serves as curator for community art events.

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. 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.

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.

The good thing is that you can get out and stay out of group think and re-invigorate your creative work processes.\n\nYou will learn to:\n\nIdentify the signs that you may be getting stuck in group think\nApply techniques that promote creative and divergent thinking in your group\nUse strategies that replace “happy thought and skepticism” with “optimism and realism”\nUtilize 7 practical strategies to reduce or even avoid group failure\nDetermine when to use the knowledge of experts over the wisdom of the group \n\nYou will benefit by:\n\nExperiencing increased work group effectiveness\nAvoiding a watered-down end product when embarking on a group project\nWitnessing a reinvigorated team as they see real results\nObserving improved intra-team communications\n\nAudience:\n\nManagers who want to increase the effectiveness and communication of their teams UID:29265-3056213@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29265 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Career,Networking,Professional Development,Workshop LOCATION:Administrative Services Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160126T143255 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160310T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160310T160000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Depression on College Campuses Conference DESCRIPTION:Social support and interpersonal relationships are important for both mental and physical health. Despite impressions that today’s college students are hyper-engaged with the world around them\, many are actually under-connected to the people and resources that could be most beneficial to their overall well-being. According to a recent study\, college freshmen are spending less time with friends than ever. In addition\, for students struggling with mental health concerns\, their symptoms can make it difficult to start new relationships\, or to get the most out of existing relationships – be it with peers\, romantic partners\, family members\, professors\, campus administrators\, or clinicians.\n\nJoin us for the 14th Annual Depression on College Campuses Conference to learn about new research findings\, model programs\, and innovative strategies to encourage the formation of positive interpersonal relationships which promote student mental health.\n\nThe 2-day conference will feature a choice of intensive three-hour workshops in addition to keynote presentations\, panel discussions\, and concurrent sessions.

Starting with the Second Folio (1632)\, our display includes a selection of landmark editions by authors and scholars like John Dryden\, Nicholas Rowe\, Alexander Pope\, Samuel Johnson\, and Edmond Malone. It explores the staging and costuming of productions such as Charles Kean’s archaeologically-informed\, elaborately-costumed 1856 production of The Winter’s Tale\, and Maurice Browne-Ellen Van Volkenburg 1930 production of Othello casting Paul Robeson as the first black actor to play Othello in a century.\n\nMost of the titles included in this display come from the McMillan Shakespeare Library. Materials are also displayed from the Maurice Browne and Ellen Van Volkenburg Papers\, 1792-1968 and the Zelma Weisfeld Archive\, 1954-2006. All these books and artifacts are held in the Special Collections Library.\n\nAudubon Room Hours: Monday-Friday 8:30 am to 7 pm\, Saturday 10 am to 6 pm\, Sunday 1 pm to 7 pm UID:26647-2127326@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/26647 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Books,Exhibition,Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160309T163823 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160310T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160310T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Wall in Process DESCRIPTION:This wall-in-process represents a snapshot into the year long collaborative project Humanize the Numbers at the University of Michigan. Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience. Organized by Anya Sirota and Akoaki.\n\nMatthieu Gafsou (CH\, 1981) lives and works in Lausanne\, Switzerland. After completing a master of arts in philosophy\, literature and cinema at the Université de Lausanne\, he studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey. Since 2006\, Gafsou has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions\, and published a series of photographic works\, including: Ce rêve étrange : Le Corbusier à Firminy\, Surfaces\, and Sacré. In 2009 Gafsou was awarded the prestigious “Prix de la fondation HSBC pour la photographie” and subsequently was invited to contribute to the Aperture Foundation's 2010 reGeneration2 exhibition. In 2014\, Lausanne’s influential Musée de l'Elysée hosted Gafsou’s solo show titled Only God Can Judge Me. In addition to his artistic practice\, Gafsou is on faculty at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL).\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.

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.

Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays UID:29456-3120364@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160310T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160310T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

Radioactive wastewater continues to be poured into the ocean\, while consumers continue to fear the possibility that their seafood is contaminated. Nevertheless\, the post-disaster sea is filled with hopeful narratives about a bright future. Even as they acknowledge the ruins of today\, these narratives gaze at the future\, by talking about hope\, ranging from the recovery of fish population\, to the improvement of marine conservation\, and to the development of floating offshore wind farms. But given the heightened precarity\, how do people actually imagine the future in the ruined seascape? How does the future that is imagined in the present link to the past? While these questions in the background\, the presentation will build from my ethnographic and historical research on fishing communities in and near Fukushima\, and discuss how Japanese modernization efforts have repeatedly ruined the seascape and yet simultaneously regenerated hope for the future.\n\nDr. Satsuki Takahashi is an assistant professor of anthropology at George Mason University\, and currently Toyota Visiting Professor with the Center for Japanese Studies at the University of Michigan (2015-2016).

In the medieval culture in which these narratives were born\, the sacred Marian narratives frame Jews as secularized outsiders\, concerned with material objects rather than perpetual sanctity. In the Early Modern culture in which they were preserved\, these three Marian legends immortalize antisemitism as the perfect refrain in sacred Christian temporality and\, perhaps more importantly\, as essential narratives in the growth of a nation.\n\nDr. Miriamne Ara Krummel is an Associate Professor of English at the University of Dayton and is currently serving as a Frankel Fellow at the Frankel Institute of Advanced Judaic Studies during the 2015-2016 academic year. Her first monograph\, Crafting Jewishness in Medieval England: Legally Absent\, Virtually\, was published in 2011 by Palgrave Macmillan in the New Middle Ages Series. Krummel is currently co-editing a book with Tison Pugh\, Jews in Medieval England: Teaching Representations of the ‘Other.’ The paper you will hear today\, “Swerving from the Sacred: Disenchanted Jews in the Vernon Manuscript\,” represents her current thinking about images of the Jewish figure in\, mostly\, late medieval English manuscripts. “Swerving from the Sacred” is part of a chapter in Krummel’s second monograph\, currently going under the title\, Sacred Matters: The Medieval Postcolonial Jew\, In and Out of Time.

More than 30 million adults in the United States suffer from depression. Many more meet the diagnostic criteria for an anxiety disorder.

This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W.

We know almost nothing about these microorganisms aside from a small sequence from their ribosomal RNA genes. However\, there is accumulating evidence that rare taxa sometimes contribute to community stability by rapidly responding to environmental changes. Given the ongoing stressors of global changes on our planet\, there is a critical need to determine the specific roles that rare taxa play for community stability. Here\, we aim to extend knowledge of what often is investigated as a static property (rarity and prevalence) towards its true dynamic nature. We discuss a statistical method for uncovering dynamics of persistent\, rare taxa that occasionally become more prominent in their communities (\"conditionally rare\"). Using this method\, we quantified conditionally rare taxa in time series from a variety of ecosystems. We discovered that conditionally rare taxa were present in all habitats\, and that they disproportionately contributed to temporal changes in diversity when they were most abundant. We offer a case study in deciphering the ecology of conditionally rare taxa\, informed by time series observations before\, during and after an ecosystem manipulation. Our results suggest that persistent but rare microbial taxa contribute to high within-sample (alpha) diversity\, and help to maintain community stability after disturbance.

The earliest traces of this trope can be found in the Songs of Chu\, a poetry anthology dating from the 3rd century BC\, and it would remain a recurring theme in poetic writings thereafter. This theme of “gazing from a height” has been explained both psychologically and as a symptom of the particularities of the traditional Chinese textual imagination. But it also bears examination as an aspect of the complex unfolding of other histories–those of visual perception\, emotions\, cognition\, and power. In her talk Professor Virág will discuss how these histories were interwoven\, drawing some conclusions about what the emotions bound up with seeing–and with failing to see–might reveal about the contentious domain of visual authority in traditional China.\n\nCurie Virág is an assistant professor in the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Toronto. An intellectual historian of premodern China\, she focuses on the history of ethics\, moral psychology\, and epistemology in the Warring States (4th-3rd centuries BCE) and Tang-Song (7th-12th centuries CE) periods. Professor Virág's current book projects cover the evolution of thinking about emotions in premodern China from roughly 400 BCE to 1200 CE. \"The Emotions in Early Chinese Philosophy\,\" which deals with the early phase of this history\, will be completed at the end of 2015. The sequel to this study\, covering the period of early empire to 1200\, is in preparation. In her work on emotions\, and in more recent investigations–which focus on conceptions of the self and the human\, models of cognition\, and the theory and practice of landscapes–she has been exploring how past ways of thinking about human attributes\, faculties\, and capacities are interwoven with ideas about the workings of the physical world. \n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

Covering practically every aspect of Islamic culture\, this tradition is particularly rich in extensive historical sources such as chronicles and biographical collections. Most specimens of these two forms\, which often smoothly crossover into each other\, are multivolume titles that aggregate and copiously reuse earlier sources\, and\, in their turn\, get reused in later sources. Perhaps the largest specimen of these two genres is a 50-volume title\, “The History of Islam” (Taʾrīḫ al-islām)\, which was written by the famous Damascene religious scholar\, chronicler and biographer Šams al-dīn al-Ḏahabī (d. 748/1347 CE). Dubbed “one of the most ambitious histories of the entire world of Islam\,” this library of a book (~3\,4 mln. words) covers 700 years of Islamic history through over 30\,000 biographical records. Although nobody has ever doubted that this “History” is a compilation of earlier sources\, we have no understanding of the composition of this text: What earlier sources did al-Ḏahabī use? How and to what extent did he use his sources? Did he paraphrase\, summarize\, or quote his sources? How is his “History” related to his other writings? What kind of understanding did al-Ḏahabī have of the historical information that he collected? How does al-Ḏahabī’s work fit into the Arabic historiographical tradition? Was indeed a great historian who had written the most ambitious historical text or was he just an obsessive compiler?\n\nNone of these questions can be answered convincingly with traditional methods of historical inquiry. A computational approach of tracing text reuse in large corpora that fuels Viral Texts Project (http://viraltexts.org/ @ Northeasern University) offers a new perspective that will revolutionize the way how the scholars view not only the Arabic historiography\, but the entire Arabic written tradition. Using this approach that combines computational algorithms for tracing similarities among texts with the use of high-power computing\, the presentation will address three large sets of questions: 1) about the Arabic written tradition and the place of al-Ḏahabī’s “History” in it\; 2) his method of writing/compilation\; and 3) his work as a historian.

This brings new valence to widely circulated notions of cultural and material consumption and their affective dimensions (e.g. desires\, appetites). Building on foundational work by scholars including Pierre Bourdieu\, Claude Lévi-Strauss\, and Roland Barthes\, researchers have added food to the ever-growing list of cultural products deserving of inquiry. This relatively new concern with food opens up the possibility of thinking consumption and appetites in broader terms. How do we consume bodies\, images\, and cultures? How can the humanities engage with food studies? Is it possible to think the consumption of food alongside other forms of consumption? This conference\, aimed at graduate students in all disciplines across the humanities\, social sciences\, and sciences\, is concerned with appetite and consumption in all their varied aspects.\n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Rey Chow\, the Ann Firor Scott Professor of Literature at Duke University. Situated at the intersection of critical theory\, cultural studies\, literary studies\, film and media studies\, and postcolonial studies\, many of Chow’s recent publications directly address the connections between the culinary and the cultural\, with food becoming a window into the depths of the ordinary. Chow’s work also focuses on issues of cultural translation as tied to commodification. This nexus is central to discourses of consumption (culinary and otherwise)\, while at the same time bringing visual culture\, cinema\, literature\, and new media into the conversation.\n\nThursday\, March 10 \n\nKeynote Lecture by Rey Chow\, Duke University\n“A Tale of Deliveries” \n5:00 PM – 7:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nReception \n7:00 PM – 9:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\n\nFriday\, March 11 \n\nEdible and Eating Bodies \n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nCatherine Ellis\, University of Durham - ‘Sera-ce le contre-poison de la fatale Justine?’: Textual Antidotes\, Edible Prostitutes\, and Cannibal Monks in Rétif de la Bretonne’s l’Anti-Justine (1798)\n\nLisa Haushofer\, Harvard University – Appetite Historicized: The Eating Body and Nineteenth-Century Physiology of Digestion\n\nHelen Yilun Huang\, University of Oregon – Visual Sensations: From Josephine Baker’s Banana Skirt to Miss Chiquita’s Fruit Hat\n\nModerator: Mariane Stanev\n\nCLIFF@20 Lunchtime Roundtable \n12:15 PM – 1:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nJeffrey Middents\, American University - CLIFF 1996 \nMonika Cassel\, New Mexico School for the Arts - CLIFF 1996 \nCorine Tachtiris\, Earlham College - CLIFF 2006 & 2007 \nGenevieve Creedon\, Princeton University - CLIFF 2010 & 2011\nModerator: Mélissa Gélinas\, CLIFF 2016 \n\nFood in America \n1:45 PM – 3:45 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nNicole Rudisill\, University of Wisconsin – A Full Stomach: Life Behind the Façade of Fondant and Festivities\n\nBriel Kobak\, University of Chicago – Straight Whiskey and the Producer/Consumer It Protects\n\nNicolyn Woodcock\, Miami University – Remembering the “Forgotten War”: Transnational Entanglements and Foodie Trends in Eating Military Base Stew\n\nModerator: Xiaoxi Zhang \n\nFood as Data \n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM \nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nLelian Maldonado\, University of California\, Riverside – Artifact Acquisition\, Public Consumption\, and the Contemporary Destruction of Ancient Sites\n\nMarina Merlo\, University of Montreal – Food\, Porn\, and Selfies: Photographic Cultures of Consumption\n\nBrad Bolman\, Harvard University – Tasting/Testing Hogs: Cooking and Consumption as Science\n\nModerator: Vedran Catovic\n\n\nSaturday\, March 12 \n\nMaking the Nation \n10:30 AM – 12:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nDenise Castillo\, University of Wisconsin – Chiles en nogada: The Creation of National Identity\n\nDiksha Dhar\, Fulbright Visiting Scholar\, University of Pennsylvania – Is It Actually about Beef?

When José Ortega y Gasset diagnosed the new literature\, music\, and painting of the post-World War I generation as an art of “dehumanization\,” he celebrated Claude Debussy as a formative example. But what did this slogan actually mean?

While this mirrors parallel developments in France\, Austria\, Belgium\, the UK\, Hungary and elsewhere\, Golden Dawn is unique among European parties in its rejection of parliamentarianism\, openly embracing violence as a means of realizing its political goals\, and definition of the Greek nation on biological and racial grounds. Analysts have identified a range of endemic causes that underlie its recent electoral success: the economic crisis and record levels of unemployment\; the clientelism of the Greek political system that could not be sustained once the economy collapsed\; the long historical roots of authoritarianism\, patriarchy\, and social conservatism among a segment of the population. In this talk\, I explore some further potential explanations of this phenomenon. Drawing on the findings of the Youth and History project carried out in 27 European countries in the mid-1990’s\, I argue that the discourses of continuity\, Othering\, and Western condescension seen in Greek high-school students’ responses more than a decade before the crisis erupted reflect broader societal discourses also manifested in ideologies about language in Greece during the 19th and 20th centuries. While these discourses were a part of the nation-building process at the time\, the lack of historical awareness and naïve ethnocentrism that accompanied them left Greek society vulnerable and ideologically “ready” to be swayed to political extremes when faced with extreme circumstances (the current economic crisis coupled with the influx of immigrants and refugees).

The session will be facilitated by eliza pérez-ollin and Peter Hammer\, of WSU's Detroit Equity Action Laboratory.\n\nThe impacts of these newly heightened practices will be explored\, with a special focus on the mass displacement of long-time African-American residents\, the rapid deterioration of neighborhoods\, and the threat to a stable regional water system that supplies water to a significant percentage of the state’s residents. Proposed solutions will include those that already exist but have not been implemented\, such as the water affordability plan and tax relief policies\, as well as other frameworks that could promote equitable access to water and home ownership for Detroit’s residents.\n\nFree bus transportation from Ann Arbor to Detroit via the MDetroit Connector Bus will be provided for this class.

He got into the ring with Roberto \"Hands of Steel\" Duran on national television. (Both ended up at Atlantic City Medical Center\, and Paul reaped a great song\, \"I'd Rather Be a Hammer Than a Nail.\") He's the son of a Pentecostal preacher who rode the tent-revival circuit. He paints. He had his first singing gig at age three. He comes from Tupelo\, Mississippi\, and absorbed the power of gospel music just like another famous native of that town. And he ties it all together in original songs\, masterpieces of gutbucket storytelling country and soul with a fearless confessional streak (and often very funny). Paul’s new album\, Too Blessed To Be Stressed\, stakes out new territory for the popular roots-rock songwriter and performer. “In the past\, I’ve told stories that were mostly inspired by my own life\,” Paul says. “This time\, I’ve written ten songs that express more universal truths\, and I’ve done it with a purpose: to make people feel good.” The title track borrows its tag from a familiar saying among the members of the African American Baptist churches Paul frequented in his childhood. “I’d ask\, ‘How you doin’\, sister?’ And what I’d often hear back was\, ‘I’m too blessed to be stressed.’” Canadian alternative country and folk band The Brothers Landreth\, whose debut release just won the Juno award for Best Roots Album of the year\, are tonight's openers.
