SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Winteractive: The Art of Video Games
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for a game to be art? Many independent game developers stretch the definition of what a game can be and create games that blur the boundaries between art and traditional entertainment.\n\nThe games in this exhibition—all created by individual or small groups of developers—will lead you into realms of sound and beauty\, or provoke reflection on the human condition\, or entertain you with innovative takes on established game genres—or perhaps all of the above at once!\n\nThis is a hands-on exhibition. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Shakespeare on Page and Stage: A Celebration
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit is a historical journey through different versions of Shakespeare’s plays as they were edited for publication or interpreted  for the stage. 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.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Accent Elimination
DESCRIPTION:About Accent Elimination\n\nNina Katchadourian’s work Accent Elimination\, the last installation in the Institute’s Year of Conversions\, meanders and parses through our notions of identity. 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.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Microeconomics/IO
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The past two decades have seen an explosion of applied economics research on peer effects. However\, attempts to leverage peer effects by creative group assignment have often failed to account for endogenous peer group formation conditional on group assignment\, leading to erroneous inference\, especially when forecasting out-of-sample policies. I address this shortcoming within the context of a randomized evaluation of the effects of a girls’ extracurricular program in rural Rajasthan. I first show that the program under study has substantial heterogeneous treatment effects\, and that the program\, which only involves participation by a fraction of the girls in each school\, leads to substantial differential network formation. I further exploit detailed network data to document a number of stylized network facts. Building upon these stylized facts\, I then develop and estimate a model of network formation and non-linear peer effects in which actors make continuous linking decisions subject to a total effort constraint. Outcomes are determined by a model that allows for heterogeneous peer effects. I estimate the model using extensive longitudinal network and outcome data\, and show that the model’s predictions perform well when compared to realized out-of-sample outcomes. Finally\, I simulate expected outcomes for a counterfactual policy that preferentially assigns lower caste girls to participate in the program\, finding that this leads to higher educational aspirations but lower attitudes about gender roles when compared to random assignment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. 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

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ah humanity!
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the 54th Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Ernst Karel will present his collaborative project Ah humanity! at the Work Gallery\, 306 S State St\, Ann Arbor\, from March 15 - April 1. Ah humanity! was created by Karel in conjunction with Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing- Taylor.\n\nAn installation for video and four-channel audio\, Ah humanity! reflects on the fragility and folly of humanity in the age of the Anthropocene. Taking the 3/11/11 disaster of Fukushima as its point of departure\, it evokes an apocalyptic vision of modernity\, and our predilection for historical amnesia and futuristic flights of fancy. The images were shot on a telephone through a handheld telescope\, at once close to and far from its subject\, while the audio composition combines empty excerpts from Japanese genbaku and related film soundtracks\, audio recordings from seismic laboratories\, and location sound. He will present a talk about the work at the gallery at 3pm on Thursday\, March 17th.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi
DESCRIPTION:It is well-known that phonemic analysis often has multiple solutions. For example\, the Chinese word ‘fast’ have been transcribed as [khuai] and segmented as [k]-[h]-[u]-[a]-[i] in one analysis\, and transcribed as [khwai] and segmented as [khw]-[a]-[i] in another\, with quite a few other alternatives in between. Each analysis in turn will yield a different number of phones and phonemes. We propose a solution to the ambiguities\, which makes use of two criteria. First\, instead of simply comparing the number of phonemes in different analyses\, we propose comparing the number of ‘basic phonemes’. Second\, we compare how each analysis accounts for occurring and non-occurring syllables against all possible combinations of phonemes. We demonstrate our approach with two segmentation options of Old Chengdu\, the ‘finest’ segmentation vs. the ‘coarsest’ segmentation. We show that they end up being essentially the same analysis.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. 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. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\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. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SoConDi
DESCRIPTION:Linguistic research on media focuses primarily on production of linguistic features in radio\, television\, and film. Less research deals with perception of regional and social dialects in fictional media. This dissertation aims to fill that gap by examining the role fictional representations of dialect use on television might play in language attitudes. It will extend the study of social cognition and perception in linguistic media research by testing whether linguistic stereotypes primed by media representations are extended to a non-media speaker of a dialect and whether explicit knowledge that an actor is performing a dialect as a native or non-native speaker affects attitudes. The three main goals of the project are to (1) complement and augment research on language attitudes via media by empirically testing assumptions about media and language attitudes\, (2) provide a baseline study of explicit and implicit attitudes in language\, and (3) explore whether viewer knowledge that a dialect is being performed by a native versus non-native speaker of the dialect contributes to attitudes. I propose three experiments to address these research goals. Experiment 1 will test whether hearing an unintelligencharacter who speaks either a stigmatized or non- stigmatized American regional dialect in a scene from a fictional television show will shift explicit and implicit attitudes about the intelligence of an actual speaker of that dialect whom the participant interacts with in the form of a research assistant. Experiment 2 follows the same structure as Experiment 1\, but adds viewer knowledge about a speaker in the media as a variable. The viewer will be told the less intelligent speaker in the media clip is played by an actor who is either a native speaker of the dialect or a non-native performing it. Experiment 3 will test if listeners can identify whether they are hearing a native or non-native speaker of an American regional dialect.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Going with the Flow: How Hidden Watershed Ecotones and River Flow Regimes Control Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Water is fundamental to the biogeochemical cycles of Carbon and Nitrogen because it provides connectivity among ecosystems. Water links aquifers to surface waters\, hillslopes to oceans\, and our communities to our environments. However\, there is still a disconnect between the study of most environmental hydrological and biogeochemical phenomena. This disconnect limits our ability to anticipate how global change will alter Carbon and Nitrogen cycles\, ecosystems\, and our water resources. By embracing multidisciplinary approaches that unify hydrological and biogeochemical theory\, we can move beyond these limitations and develop novel approaches that address the complex nonlinear relationships inherent to biogeochemical systems. I will draw from my research program to illustrate how coupling hydrological and biogeochemical principles can uncover important processes and emergent patterns in Carbon and Nitrogen dynamics of river networks and groundwater-surface water interfaces. Specifically\, I will discuss how δ15N stable isotope tracer experiments and numerical models can reveal the function of the “River’s Liver” (the hyporheic zone) and quantify sources or sinks of Nitrogen in our fluvial landscapes. I will also discuss new theory that incorporates the role of river flow regimes on organic Carbon export from watersheds across the United States and its implication for regional and global Carbon cycle models.\n\nDr. Zarnetske is an Assistant Professor of Hydrological Sciences at Michigan State University in the Department of Geological Sciences. Previously\, he was a Gaylord Donnelly Environmental Postdoctoral Fellow at the Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies and the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. He received his PhD in Water Resource Science from Oregon State University. During his PhD\, he was an NSF IGERT - Ecosystem Informatics Fellow in the Department of Geosciences and the Water Resources Graduate Program. Prior to receiving his PhD\, he received my MS in Watershed Science from Utah State University's College of Natural Resources\, and a BA in Geology from Colby College. He has also served as a visiting scientist for New Zealand's National Institute for Water and Atmospheric Research and a consulting groundwater hydrologist for CDM-Smith\, Inc.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Gurminder Bhambra\, Professor\, Department of Sociology\, University of Warwick\n\nIn this lecture\, Bhambra asks how social theory could be differently conceptualized if we took seriously postcolonial and decolonial perspectives that bring to the fore global historical interconnections. Standard understandings of modernity\, for example\, rest\, as Homi Bhabha argues\, on ‘the writing out of the colonial and postcolonial moment’. The rest of the world is assumed to be external to the world-historical processes selected for consideration and\, concretely\, colonial connections significant to the processes under discussion are erased. By silencing the colonial past within historical narratives of modernity central to the formation of the social sciences\, the conceptual architecture of disciplines themselves is called into question.\n\nGurminder K Bhambra is Professor of Sociology at the University of Warwick. For the academic year 2014-15\, she was Visiting Fellow in the Department of Sociology\, Princeton University and Visitor at the Institute for Advanced Study\, Princeton. Her research interests are primarily in the area of historical sociology and contemporary social theory and she is also interested in the intersection of the social sciences with recent work in postcolonial and decolonial studies. She is author of Connected Sociologies (Bloomsbury\, 2014) and Rethinking Modernity: Postcolonialism and the Sociological Imagination (Palgrave\, 2007) which won the 2008 Philip Abrams Memorial Prize for best first book in sociology. She has co-edited three collections\, Silencing Human Rights (Palgrave\, 2009)\; 1968 in Retrospect (Palgrave\, 2009)\; and African Athena (OUP\, 2011). She also set up the Global Social Theory website for those interested in social theory in global perspective. She tweets in a personal capacity @gkbhambra

Trends in Cognitive Science 19(12):729-743.\n\n\"There are many questions one can ask about human language: its distinctive properties\, neural representation\, characteristic uses including use in communicative contexts\, variation\, growth in the individual\, and origin. Every such inquiry is guided by some concept of what ‘language’ is. Sharpening the core question – what is language? – and paying close attention to the basic property of the language faculty and its biological foundations makes it clear how linguistics is firmly positioned within the cognitive sciences. Here we will show how recent developments in generative grammar\, taking language as a computational cognitive mechanism seriously\, allow us to address issues left unexplained in the increasingly popular surface-oriented approaches to language.\"\n\nLink to the article can be found below.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Files (Teczki)
DESCRIPTION:The Files (Teczki)\, directed by Ewa Wójciak\, is a riveting docudrama created from actual surveillance records the Communist-era secret police kept on Theatre of the Eighth Day company members between 1975 and 1983. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Darlingside
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT\n\nWith four distinct voices clustered around a single microphone\, Darlingside effortlessly draws audiences into their lush musical world. David Fricke of Rolling Stone describes them as “a quartet with a rich line in acoustic textures and chamber-rock dynamics.” The band’s sound\, with classical strings\, tight vocal arrangements\, bluegrass and rock instrumentation\, and smart lyricism\, is the product of complete collaboration among the four close friends. The group has no frontman\; instead\, lead vocals are traded from moment to moment\, and each song features a new combination of instruments and textures\, pulling heavily from folk\, retro-pop\, barbershop\, and chamber music. The music Darlingside plays is serious\, cinematic\, and deeply moving. Darlingside has recently been the subject of features on NPR's World Cafe and in Paste magazine\, and their most recent local show is the 2016 Ann Arbor Folk Festival appearance in January. Songwriter and harmonica player P.M. Buys is special guest.
