SUMMARY:Other:Harnessing the Wind to Pump Water: Elementary School Outreach via GradSWE's SWEEET
DESCRIPTION:Join the GradSWE outreach team in this semester's SWEEET (Society of Women Engineers Elementary Engineering Topics). Volunteers will facilitate weekly hands-on sessions to build a wind-powered water pump over a course of 5-8 weeks. These one-hour sessions will begin in February at two local elementary schools.Please use the Doodle link to sign up and indicate all days/times that you are available. Doodle: http://doodle.com/poll/kpg7qin4fd3dwvd7 We are using this Doodle to determine which DAY of the week\, and which TIME to schedule SWEET. Use this as an indicator of the DAY of the week\, not the DATE. SWEET is a weekly recurring program for 5-8 weeks. For example\, if Monday 9-10am is most popular\, volunteers will go to the school every Monday 9-10am for a few weeks. Substitute teachers will be available if you can't make it to one of your assigned weeks.

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. 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

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: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: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:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral\, and Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:Using data on all 1\,901 U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments between 1999 and 2013\, we document that voice-based snap judgments based solely on the introductory sentences of lawyers predict Justices votes. The connection between vocal characteristics and court outcomes is specific to perceived masculinity even when judgment of masculinity is based only on less than three seconds of exposure to a lawyer’s speech sample. Although previous studies suggest a significant role for vocal characteristics on real world behavior\, prior to our work none has identified a definitive connection using identical phrases. Roughly 30% of the association between voice-based masculinity and court outcomes comes from within-male lawyer variation\, whereas 70% comes from between-male lawyer variation. Moreover\, voice-based first impressions predict both male and female lawyers’ court outcomes: less masculine males and more feminine females are more likely to win. A de-biasing experiment separately identifies statistical discrimination and prejudice by showing that information reduces 40% of the correlation between perceived masculinity and perceived win and incentives reduces another 20% of the correlation. The negative correlations between perceived masculinity and win rates were stronger in private firms and in petitioner classes with more masculine voices. Perceived masculinity explains an additional 10% of variance relative to best existing prediction models of Supreme Court justice votes. Sincere and strategic voting considerations may explain why liberal justices were more likely to vote against male lawyers perceived as more masculine and conservative justices were more likely to vote for female lawyers perceived as more feminine.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Visual Commons: Black Lives Matter
DESCRIPTION:This presentation shows how Black Lives Matter has formed a visual commons\, meaning a space of appearance in which it is possible for Black people and those affiliated with revolutionary blackness to see and invent each other. In particular\, Mirzoeff explores what the \"Black\" in #BLM has come to mean and how the visual commons was shaped by persistent looking in protest performance\, specifically Hands Up\, Don’t Shoot\, and the die-ins.\nMirzoeff's own engagement with persistent looking has been through a close reading of the grand jury archive from the shootings of Michael Brown and Tamir Rice as part of an activist-academic refusal of white supremacy.\nSponsored by the Department of English Language and Literature\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Digital Studies Program\, the Visual Culture Workshop\, and the Center for Global and Intercultural Study.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:ASC Film Screening: J.C. Abbey\, Ghana’s Puppeteer
DESCRIPTION:J.C.ABBEY documents an exceptional fifty-year artistic career\, from Accra’s streets to Ghana’s villages to international TV. In fifteen delightful puppet shows\, Mr. Abbey is joined by musicians Nii Noi Nortey and Nii Otoo Annan and filmmakers Nii Yemo Nunu and Steven Feld to chronicle Ghana's music since independence in 1957. The marionettes perform ethnic songs\, dances and stories\, but equally the sounds of highlife\, Afrojazz\, Afro-rock\, reggae\, and contemporary hiplife. The innovative soundtrack includes historical documents from radio\, TV and broadcast\, and LP\, as well as new compositions commissioned and performed to playback. This fifth feature in the “Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra” series mixes styles of historical documentary and contemporary music video. Through the pleasures of performance it reveals the cosmopolitan politics that intertwine ethnic\, traditional\, national\, and global musical styles in Ghana today.\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThe film’s director\, Steven Feld\, will take part in a post-screening discussion.\n\nSteven Feld is an anthropologist\, filmmaker\, sound artist/performer\, and distinguished professor of anthropology emeritus at the University of New Mexico. After studies in music\, film\, and photography\, he received the PhD in anthropological linguistics at Indiana University in 1979. From 1976 he began a research project in the Bosavi rainforest of Papua New Guinea. Results include the monograph “Sound and Sentiment” (republished 2012 in a 3rd and 30th anniversary edition)\, a Bosavi-English-Tok Pisin Dicitionary\, and essays\, some published in his co-edited books Music Grooves and Senses of Place. From this work he also produced audio projects including Voices of the Rainforest.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series Presents: Theatre of the Eighth Day
DESCRIPTION:Theatre 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. Gałczyński\, who wrote that “On the seventh day\, the Lord God rested\, and on the eighth\, He created theatre.” Influenced 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 Poznań\, continues to be recognized as a leader among Polish alternative theatres.\nEwa Wójciak is the director of the Theatre of the Eighth Day. She joined the group in the 1970s\, co-authoring its most important performances\, such as Sale for Everyone\, How We Lived in Dignity\, Wormwood\, and No Man's Land. She adheres to the philosophy that creating art is a form of empathizing with the world and being responsible for the fate of others.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:#BBUM in the Making
DESCRIPTION:In November 2013\, the Black Student Union launched the hashtag #BBUM\, asking students to share their “unique experiences of being black at Michigan”. The goal was simply to raise awareness about the black experience at Michigan and to begin a conversation about race and diversity on the UM campus. No one expected the hashtag to become a national phenomenon. Tyrell Collier was the leader of the Black Student Union when the hashtag went viral. Now a UM graduate\, he returns to campus to talk about the experience\, ongoing campus activism around race\, and the role of social media in contemporary activism.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Putting the Prison in its Place
DESCRIPTION:With over 2 million people held in U.S. jails and prisons\, the United States is the world’s leading jailer. The shadow of the prison\, however\, extends far beyond the prison gates.  \n \nJoin us for a conversation on the curious place of the prison in American public life. The conversation will be led by an esteemed panel of experts.\n \nBrett Story\, documentary film maker and critical geographer with the CUNY center on Place\, Politics\, and Culture will show clips from her new film\, The Prison in 12 Landscapes\, and lead us in a discussion of the not so obvious places the prison rears its head. For a preview of the film see: https://vimeo.com/105073038\n \nJohn Eason (http://www.johneason.com/bighouse/)\, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Texas A&M University will share notes from his forthcoming book\, Big House on the Prairie: Rise of the Rural Ghetto and Prison Proliferation\, a study of prison placement and an ethnography of a rural prison town.\n \nFinally\, we will hear from Walter Smith (www.walterdsmith.com)\, a formerly incarcerated community activist\, radio host\, and 5 time championship body builder who was wrongfully imprisoned for 11 years and eventually exonerated after filing a motion for DNA testing. He has since hosted the weekly radio program \"Street Soldier\,\" written a book\, and done violence prevention workshops throughout the nation.\n \nThe Event will be hosted by Reuben Jonathan Miller\, Assistant Professor of Social Work\, faculty Associate\, ISR\, and Faculty Affiliate\, DAAS http://ssw.umich.edu/faculty/profiles/tenure-track/mreuben\, and Hazelette Crosby Robinson\, a formerly incarcerated community activist\, Alumna of the University of Michigan School of Social Work\, and Research Associate on the Detroit Reentry Project. \n \nThis timely conversation with a professor\, a geographer and film maker\, and an exonerated\, formerly incarcerated activist will direct our attention away from the prison itself and help us to attend to its impact across communities\, across geographies\, and across sites of cultural representation.\n \nThis event is sponsored by the University of Michigan School of Social Work\, the Critical Intersectionality Learning Community and the Residential College.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Latino Americans: 500 Years of History Series Part 6: \"Peril and Promise (1980-2000)\"
DESCRIPTION:Cristhian Espinoza-Pino\, Lecturer IV in the Spanish Department and PALMA Faculty Advisor at the University of Michigan Residential College leads this screening and discussion of the film Peril and Promise (1980–2000). In the 80s\, the nature of the Latino Diaspora changes again. From Cuba a second wave of refugees to the United States—the Mariel exodus—floods Miami. The same decade sees the sudden arrival of hundreds of thousands of Central Americans (Salvadorans\, Guatemalans\, and Nicaraguans) fleeing death squads and mass murders at home\, including activist Carlos Vaquerano. By the early 1990s\, a political debate over illegal immigration has begun. Globalization\, empowered by NAFTA\, means that as U.S. manufacturers move south\, Mexican workers head north in record numbers. A backlash ensues: tightened borders\, anti-bilingualism\, state laws to declare all illegal immigrants felons. But a sea change is underway: the coalescence of a new phenomenon called Latino American culture as Latinos spread geographically and make their mark in music\, sports\, politics\, business\, and education. Gloria Estefan leads the Miami Sound Machine creating crossover hits in Spanish and English. Oscar de la Hoya\, a Mexican-American boxer from L.A.\, becomes an Olympic gold medalist and the nation's Golden Boy. Is a new Latino world being created here as the Latino population and influence continues to grow? Alternatively\, will Latinos in America eventually assimilate into invisibility\, as other groups have done so many times?\n\nLatinos present a challenge and an opportunity for the United States. America's largest and youngest growing sector of the population presents what project advisor Professor Marta Tienda calls The Hispanic Moment. Their success could determine the growth of the United States in the twenty-first century\; however\, their failure contributing to an underclass could also pull this country down. The key\, according to Tienda and Eduardo J. Padron\, Ph.D.\, President of Miami Dade Community College\, is education.\n\nThe Ann Arbor District Library is one of 203 sites nationwide to host this series\, which has been made possible through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association. The AADL series is also co-sponsored by Michigan Radio and the U-M Latina/o Studies Program and is part of an NEH initiative\, The Common Good: The Humanities In the Public Square. For more information on Latino Americans: 500 Years of History programs at AADL\, please visit aadl.org/latinoamericans.\n\nCo-sponsored by:\nMichigan Radio
