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:Fellow Fellows
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Fellow Fellows\"\, the Architecture Fellows Presentation and Exhibition Opening. \n\nThe exhibition of projects of the 2015-2016 Architecture Fellows opens on Wednesday\, March 23 and runs through the end of the Winter term (May 2). The Fellows will present their projects to the college at 6:00 p.m. in the Auditorium. The projects present their ongoing research during their yearlong fellowship. A reception will follow the presentations\, with exhibition on view in the college gallery.\n\n\nCyrus Peñarroyo - William Muschenheim Fellow\n\nBLDG_DRWG\nBLDG_DRWG recoups handwrought drawing effects and rearranges drawing conventions at the building scale in order to reorient the ways in which architecture is produced and consumed. Oscillating between analog methods (ink\, paint\, tape) and digital processes (scanning\, photoshop filtering\, milling)\, this project intensifies attributes of drawing otherwise lost in translation. A series of 1:1 investigations harnesses the potency of these effects and uses them to emphasize\, deemphasize\, or reconstitute existing architectural conditions. The results of these studies are reassembled in the gallery as a room––one fragment of an unfinished building––that speaks to the instability of its own representation.\n\nTeam members: Andrew Barkhouse\, Peter Watkins\nWith assistance from: Chris Campbell\, Samantha Eng\, Matt Culver\, Asa Peller\, Tafhim Rahman\n\n\nAshley Bigham - Walter B. Sanders Fellow\n\nSafety Not Guaranteed\nArchitecture is inseparable from defense. From its most primitive and revered “origins\,” architecture was rehearsed in environments of conflict. As an alternative to the term defense architecture\, a category which typically refers to forms and types (fortresses\, citadels\, bastions\, urban walls)\, this project proposes the idea of an architecture of defense. An architecture of defense sees all of architecture as a reaction to some measure of paranoia and studies the built environment to recognize measures and methods used to subdue these fears. Safety Not Guaranteed explores the architecture of paranoia through a series of design manipulations and exaggerations. Its setting is the network of suburbia and everyday domestic scenes—spaces most commonly associated with privacy\, safety\, and security and where fortification occurs on the scale of the front door\, the home\, the cul-de-sac\, and the neighborhood.\n\nTeam Members: Connor Brindza\, James Howe\, Neall Oliver\, Sasha Pfeiffer\, Mark Boynton\, Kamsy Anyachebelu\n\n\nDavid Eskenazi - Willard A. Oberdick Fellow\n\nFor the Trees\nAt first I noticed how naked the papers were\, since they didn’t seem to be acting like something else. I guess they were supposed to be models\, it was an architecture exhibit after all\, but they were missing all those things that point elsewhere: no doors\, no windows\, nothing that particularly looks like anything but itself. They were formed\, sure\, but that’s not really enough to point outwards. Or is it? Before you answer\, there was one more thing: some of the papers were near an enlarged duplicate. Actually\, maybe they were shrunken copies. It was a lot like that moment at the top of Runyon Canyon when you turn around and realize there’s an entire other\, slightly smaller Los Angeles behind you. Were you just looking at the original\, or the copy? I think the most interesting part is right afterwards when your focus shifts around you to the ground\, the dirt\, the trees.. all that stuff that frames what you’re looking at\, like the base of a model or scale figures or model trees. Come to think of it\, the papers did look like trees. But the resemblance is fleeting\, and now I’m certain the papers were in fact models pointing around at each other. Or were they in the background\, acting like a frame for something else\, something that wasn’t there?\n\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.

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 Micro/IO
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is a public monopoly which purchases alcoholic beverages from upstream manufacturers for sale in state-run stores. We estimate a discrete choice demand model in this vertical market to show that upstream firms have significant market power despite a large and diverse product set. We find that a change in policy by the regulator to either reduce alcohol consumption or increase revenue can be reversed by these firms with minimal level of coordination in prices. Further\, the regulator's inability or unwillingness to modify policy in response to changes in demand increases profits for the firms while decreasing retail prices for consumers. This suggests that taxation and price controls can encourage firms to employ tools such as advertising or product innovation which are outside of the regulator's purview.

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:Workshop / Seminar:IISS Workshop. \"The Mongol King\, the Prophet Muhammad\, and the Buddha: Inter-faith Disputations and Sacred Kingship in Medieval Iran.\"
DESCRIPTION:About this workshop: We will discuss the fourth chapter of Jonathan Brack’s dissertation “Mediating Sacred Kingship: Conversion and Sovereignty in Mongol Iran.” In his dissertation\, Jonathan demonstrates how Muslim perceptions of sacred kingship were shaped through inter-religious interactions at the Mongol court in 13th-14th centuries Iran (the Ilkhanate).\n\nIn chapter four\, Jonathan explores how the Ilkhanid vizier Rashid al-Din (d. 1317) experimented with the classical boundaries separating prophethood and sainthood from kingship in Muslim theological thought to make room for a new rank of an exceptional\, sacred and saintly Muslim kingship. The chapter focuses on the vizier’s neglected theological writings to show that Rashid al-Din appropriated and expanded the Ashʿarite theologian and exegetist Fakhr al-Din al-Razi’s (d. 1210) hierarchy of human souls to mediate between Mongol notions of sacred kingship and Islamic worldviews. Paying particular attention the vizier’s polemical anti-Buddhist works\, the chapter further argues that the Ilkhanid vizier used this new Islamic theologically grounded model of sacred authority to claim to himself the exclusive position of the Mongol ruler’s intermediary in a court dominated by inter-religious\, inter-confessional and inter-personal rivalries and competition.\n\n*** Please RSVP to Golriz Farshi (gfarshi@umich.edu) for reading materials***

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:“flip. peasant. spanish.: Gender\, Defective Spanish\, and Linguistic Incapacity in the Comparative US-Mexican-Philippine Borderlands”
DESCRIPTION:Please RSVP to obmora@umich.edu to receive copy of chapter. Snacks will be served!\n\nDrawing on comparative ethnic studies\, this paper examines the comparative affinities between Chicana/o and Filipina/o racialization in the US-Mexico Borderlands through a postcolonial disability optic. By including the Philippines as a borderlands where US transpacific imperialism and Spanish colonialism have historically overlapped – the very same colonial projects that have informed the various formations of the US-Mexican corridor – I propose a re-consideration of the border as an “herida abierta”\, as iconized by Gloria Anzaldúa\, as a Chicana disability theory that helps to explain the comparartive racializations of Filipino postcoloniality. Through a consideration of Brian Ascalon Roley’s Filipino-Chicano novel\, American Son (2001)\, alongside Borderlands/La Frontera\, I develop the concept “linguistic incapacity” to examine the vulnerabilities of linguistic colonialism and the racial embodiments and defects of language.\n\nI use Anzaldúa canonical chapter\, “How to Tame a Wild Tongue”\, which proposes the liberation and maintenance of defective disabled Spanishes (“somos las del español deficiente)\, as a lens to understand American Son’s representations of wounded “castrated” Filipino masculinities within a US-Mexican borderscape. I interpose the critiques of “racial castration” of Asian American queer studies alongside the wounded tongues of Chicana feminist theory to suggest that in American Son the disability of castration is rehabilitated through the mixed-race mis-recognition of Filipinos as Latinos in a US racial imaginary. The “castrated mestizo” represents the intersection of Chicano and Filipino embodiment. I attempt to understand the polysemous Filipino body\, whose provenance is a “Hispanic Asia”\, through the optic of Chicana feminist theory. This inevitably leads me to the question of “Flip Spanish” - a “wild tongue” that is not characterized by the preservation of anomalous Spanish but rather through its absent presence\, a condition I term “linguistic incapacity”. What can absence\, linguistic defect\, and language deficits tell us about the comparative racial projects of US imperialism? What can the “racial errors” of misrecognition bring to disability theory? Finally\, what can comparative ethnic studies gain from expanding its modes of inquiry to include disability? What does comparative Filipina/o and Latina/o scholarship look like?

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:CJS Special Lecture | At Play in Atomic Japan: KATHY's Radical Kawaii (Cute) Choreography of Failure
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, I examine the choreographic enterprise of the 21st-century all-female performance collective KATHY\, who create tableau-vivant\, which they bring to life with their pop-ritual dancing\, ballet\, tea ceremonies\, and environmental\, object\, and audience interactions. KATHY's kawaii mixes and twists the traditional kawaii culture of Heian women's writing and Edo kabuki musume with the spectacularly contemporary Hello-Kitty-pink-globalization\, anime\, and J-POP. I argue that KATHY is part of a (gendered) (false) (post-3/11) (avant-garde) movement of Japanese artists who deploy kawaii shôjo (cute girl) iconography as a radical weapon to skewer the current social\, political and economic malaise.\n\nKatherine Mezur is a freelance dance\, theatre\, and performance studies scholar\, dramaturg\, choreographer and director. Her work focuses on transnational East Asian performance practices\, histories\, and theories. She writes on Japanese traditional and contemporary performance\, girl cultures and their live and mediated performances\, and gender technologies from kabuki to J-pop.

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:Judaic Classics Series: \"Social Power and Religious Communication in the Roman Empire: Orthopraxy and Orthodoxy\"
DESCRIPTION:In this paper Professor Rives will sketch out a model for mapping religious change in the Roman Empire\, a model built around the contrast between orthopraxy and orthodoxy.  He begins by outlining what he sees as the key characteristics of these two social systems\, focusing especially on how those with power exercise that power in matters concerning human relations with the divine world.  Professor Rives then explores each of them in turn in more detail\, through the specific examples of the practice of animal sacrifice\, in the case of orthopraxy\, and Paul’s letter to the Galatians\, in the case of orthodoxy.  He concludes by stressing that his goal is simply to develop a model that can describe certain key aspects of religious change in the Roman imperial period and that\, like all models\, it simplifies and abstracts\, and so obscures a fair amount of complexity and nuance.\n\nSponsored by: Classical Studies\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, and Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Biotic and Abiotic Controls on the Origin of a Modern Grassland Ecosystem Over the Last Five Million Years
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the origin of modern communities is a fundamental goal of ecology\, but reconstructing the history of communities that include species with stratigraphic durations on the scale of hundreds of thousands to millions of years necessarily requires data from the fossil record. Similarly\, inferences about the paleoecology of past communities are most robust when informed by data from both living and fossil populations of extant species. Despite the logical connections between ecology and paleoecology\, relatively few studies have bridged the gaps in the characteristic observational timescales and methodologies of these disciplines to achieve a comprehensive view of the long-term evolution of specific modern communities.  The need to bridge these disciplinary gaps is increasingly pressing in the face of anthropogenic climate change and uncertainty about the magnitude and direction of responses by local communities. This large collaborative project examines the ecological\, environmental\, and climatic context of the origin of the modern small mammal community in the grasslands of the central USA over the last five million years. We are testing the effects of both biological and non-biological factors on long-term taxonomic turnover and ecological change in a stratigraphic sequence of local communities using a combination of ecomorphology\, biogeochemistry\, paleoclimate modeling\, and biogeography. Our results so far are consistent with a surprisingly small role for climate or habitat changes in structuring faunal changes\, suggesting that biological interactions among small mammal species may be more important.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Struggles for Citizenship around the Bay of Bengal
DESCRIPTION:As the lands that bordered the eastern Indian Ocean gained independence from colonial rule between 1947 and 1957\, they renegotiated their relations with one another\, and jostled for position in a world divided by the new tensions of the Cold War. The Bay of Bengal became a sea of nations\; this lecture examines the histories of the many communities that were marooned or displaced by those transformations in sovereignty. It considers the multiple struggles for citizenship that took place in the first decade after independence – in Sri Lanka\, Burma\, and Malaysia - by peoples of South Asian origin\, many of them second- or third-generation residents overseas\, who now had to find their place as “minorities” within new nation states. As well as providing a comparative view of the different political trajectories these struggles took\, this lecture also examines the question of “endings” in Indian Ocean history\, arguing that we must be as attentive to the breaking of connections as to the connectedness so celebrated in recent historical scholarship.\n\nSunil Amrith is the Mehra Family Professor of South Asian Studies at Harvard University. His research is on the trans-regional movement of people\, ideas\, and institutions. Areas of particular interest include the history of public health and poverty\, the history of migration\, and environmental history. His most recent work has been on the Bay of Bengal as a region connecting South and Southeast Asia. He has a PhD in History (2005) from the University of Cambridge\, where he was also a Research Fellow of Trinity College (2004-6).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Final-devoicing and phonological neutralization in Castilian Spanish
DESCRIPTION:Synchronic rules of word-final devoicing are unnatural to the extent that consonants are devoiced not only before pause (or a voiceless consonant)\, but also in the intervocalic position\, preceding a vowel-initial word\, a context that should favor voicing instead. A common assumption is that devoicing starts diachronically in the prepausal context\, where it is phonetically motivated\, and from there it spreads to the phrase-medial context by analogy. In order to test this hypothesis\, I examine the optional devoicing of final /-d/ in the Spanish of northwestern Spain (Old Castile)\, using a corpus of conversational speech. In this Spanish variety\, /-d/ variably devoices to a voiceless fricative or deletes. The results show that voiceless fricatives are found in all phrasal contexts\, but with significantly higher frequency before pause than before a vowel\, lending support to the hypothesis of extension of the devoicing from the former context to the latter. The devoicing of /-d/ is neutralizing. Voiceless fricative realizations of /-d/ do not differ from those of phonemic /-θ/ either in amount of voicing or in duration. The two phonemes\, however\, are not systematically neutralized word finally\, since\, as mentioned\, another common option for /-d/ is its deletion (other realizations\, including stops and voiced approximant are uncommon in our corpus). Phonemic /- θ/\, on the other hand\, is not subject to deletion.Whereas the deletion of /-d/ has some lexical exceptions\, its devoicing does not.  Among the majority of /d/-final words\, for which deletion is possible\, the relative frequency with which they undergo deletion vs. devoicing appears to vary substantially depending on the lexical item. That is\, both position in phrase and lexical identity probabilistically determine the realization of /-d/.

SUMMARY:Performance:Birds of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Birds of Chicago\, the collective centered around Allison Russell and JT Nero\, reassert the simple notion—radical in these times—that beautiful words and music can still tap deep veins of emotion. With stark\, elemental imagery that feels like scripture\, or a lost folk song recovered\, The Birds draw heavily on the gospel tradition\, and the music feels like a new\, secular gospel of sorts. For Birds of Chicago\, every word counts. Every note counts. No gold-dusting\, no filler. Music is the good news and Real Midnight\, the band’s poignant new Joe Henry–produced album\, throbs with an urgency that feels quietly seismic. On Real Midnight\, Birds of Chicago alternate moody rock swagger with the ghostliest of soundscapes. The album is a melancholy—but never shoe-gazing—suite\, raw and soul-rich. Birds of Chicago have developed a fervent following\, touring 200 nights a year since their formation in late 2012.  For these Birds\, singing for a room full of new people\, hearts wide open\, keeps off the cold and chases off the shadows.
