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.

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:26647-2127333@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:20160317T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160317T170000 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.

Katchadourian considers the ongoing quandary of where we really come from\, who we are\, trying to isolate our sense of ourselves in counterpoint with the way people define or judge us based upon their assumptions. It is\, of course\, the unique combination of things that offers our most comprehensive and authentic self-reflection\, not one thing or another\, and this amalgamation is to some degree indecipherable.\n\n\nAlthough they have lived in the United States for over 45 years\, Katchadourian’s foreign-born parents both have distinctive but hard-to-place accents that the artist has never been able to imitate correctly. Inspired by posters around New York advertising courses in “accent elimination\,” Katchadourian decided to hire a professional who could teach her to speak in each of her parents’ accents and teach them to speak with a so-called “standard American accent.” Katchadourian and her parents took intensive lessons with accent coach Sam Chwat at his office every other day for several weeks\, and also practiced in the artist’s studio between lessons. They worked with two scripts: one written by her mother and the other by her father\, both modeled on the typical conversation that each of them has when talking with a stranger who notices an accent and is curious about its origins.\n\nKatchadourian plays the part of the stranger. The dialogues are first performed in everyone’s natural accents\, then at the end of the piece\, after much practice and struggle\, they attempt to perform the\nsame scripts—in the best version they can muster—of their new accents.\n\nIn light of recent and all-too-familiar seismic political shifts consumed with “otherness\,” and building walls rather than bringing them down\, Accent Elimination feels especially prescient. It reminds us there\nare so many layers that comprise our cultural identities\, stacked up like markers\, artifacts of our points of origin as well as our extraordinary journeys. It is an ongoing and painstaking process as to what we save and what we lose along the way by choice\, necessity\, or circumstance. And in all of this\, perhaps we discover ourselves on common ground.\n\nAccent Elimination was included at the 2015 Venice Biennale in the Armenian pavilion\, which won the Golden Lion for Best National Participation. Nina Katchadourian is represented by Catharine Clark Gallery.\n\nNina Katchadourian’s University of Michigan visit is the result of a collaboration between the Institute for the Humanities and the Armenian Studies Program.

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.

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:29456-3120371@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:20160301T160334 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160317T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160317T130000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:CGIS Study Abroad Info Table DESCRIPTION:Chat with representatives and students from the Center for Global and Intercultural Study (CGIS) office.

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.

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.

Access to iodine\, a key determinant of cognitive ability\, rose sharply. We compare outcomes for cohorts exposed in utero to iodized salt with those of slightly older\, unexposed cohorts\, across states with high versus low iodine deficiency rates prior to salt fortification. Incomes for cohorts who benefited from iodized salt access went up by 3%\, with a nearly 8% increase during school-going ages. We find a small but precisely measured decline in educational attainment (-0.04 years)\, mainly due to decreased schooling in states with blue-collar jobs. Employment rose by 1%\, driven by a 2% rise at school-going ages and focused on entry into low-wage jobs. Later in life\, exposed cohorts began to shift into self-employment. These results are consistent with a model of schooling choice in which cognitive ability raises both the returns to education as well as the wage at labor force entry\, leading to a rise in income and employment but an ambiguous effect on educational attainment.

Narrative\, Archetypes\, and Myth in Islamic Historiography.\" DESCRIPTION:What is history? Did the early Muslim historians intend their work to be read as dry accounts of the past or were they trying to tell their audiences something more? In this talk\, D. Gershon Lewental will explain the challenges in studying early Islamic history and propose a novel interpretation: that the historical texts should be read like epic literature.\n\nD. Gershon Lewental is a cultural historian of the Middle East\, focusing on how societies use religion\, memory\, and conflict to define and maintain their identities. He has been the Schusterman visiting assistant professor in the Departments of History and International & Area Studies at the University of Oklahoma since 2012. He earned his degrees from Cornell University and Brandeis University\, writing a dissertation on the changing perceptions of the Arab-Islamic conquest of Iran that received the Foundation of Iranian Studies Best Dissertation Award and the Brandeis University Glazter Dissertation Prize. His fields of specialization include early Islamic history and historiography\, Iranian history\, the Baha?i faith\, and Israeli society.\n\nOrganized by the Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar (IISS)\, the only academic forum at the University of Michigan that engages students and faculty who are interested in the study of Islam and Muslim societies in an interdisciplinary and cross-regional conversation. Following our inception in the winter term 2010\, IISS has grown to include a large number of both student and faculty participants. They represent a wide range of departments and programs including American Culture\, Anthropology\, Architecture and Urban Planning\, Asian Languages and Cultures\, History\, Law\, Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Musicology\, Natural Resources and Environment\, Near Eastern Studies\, Political Science\, Romance Languages and Literatures\, South Asian Studies\, and Southeast Asian Studies.

The destruction of the Jerusalem temple at the end of the first century C.E. led to the effective demise of this practice\, and to the emergence of a common perception according to which sacrifices were superseded by religious practices that are taken to be more “modern” and refined\, such as prayer and study. Professor Balberg's paper seeks to challenge and refine the \"supersession\" hypothesis by examining two post-temple junctures in which biblical sacrifices are strongly endorsed but are radically reinterpreted: early rabbinic literature (2nd-3rd centuries CE) on the one hand\, and discourse among religious-Zionist circles in Israel in the 21st century on the other hand. The paper will argue that while early rabbis and contemporary religious leaders pursue diametrically opposed approaches to sacrifice\, they both insist on its physical concreteness and on its enduring relevance.\n\nSponsored by: Classical Studies\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, and Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies UID:26926-2261009@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/26926 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Classical Studies,History,Jewish Studies,Lecture LOCATION:Angell Hall - Classics Library, Room 2175 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160401T123008 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160317T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160317T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Land A Great Internship DESCRIPTION:Don't know where to start when looking for an internship?

Through these files\, a remarkable human drama unfolds—not just of life under a communist regime but of the courageous artistry that thrived in spite of that oppression.\n\nTheatre of the Eighth Day (Teatr Ósmego Dnia) was founded in 1964 and soon became one of the most significant alternative student theatre troupes in Poland. Its name derives from the Polish poet K.I. Galczynski\, who wrote that “On the seventh day\, the Lord God rested\, and on the eighth\, He created theatre.” Influenced mostly by the work of Grotowski\, the group developed their own acting method and approach to creating performances through group improvisation. For 25 years and despite constant surveillance by the secret police and government censorship\, Theatre of the Eighth Day managed to create some of the most important works for the Polish stage. By 1985\, most of the group had left the country and the Theatre remained in exile until 1989\, returning to Poland at the invitation of the first non-communist Minister of Culture. Since the collapse of the Communist regime\, the company\, which is based in Poznan\, continues to be recognized as a leader among Polish alternative theatres. \n\nRELATED EVENT: On Monday\, March 21 at 5:30 pm\, Ewa Wójciak\, Theatre of the Eighth Day director\, will deliver the Annual Copernicus Lecture\, “Breaking Boundaries before and after Censorship: A Personal Story of When and How You Should Say No.”\n\nThis residency is part of a semester-long series on Polish Theatre.\n\nSponsors: U-M’s Copernicus Program in Polish Studies\, Department of Theatre & Drama\, Third Century Initiative\; Culture.pl.
