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.

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:Exhibition:Special Exhibit:On the Trail of Wonder: Selections from the Collection of Rolf Sapoli
DESCRIPTION:What makes an object wonderful? Is it an objective quality that can be measured and studied? Or is it an instinctive reaction\, welling up within the observer\, prompting us to ask: where did this come from? What does it mean? Is it real?\nNoted natural philosopher Rolf Sapoli has generously lent prized pieces from his world-renowned collection to the U-M Museum of Natural History for a short-term imposition. Objects rarely seen in a museum will be on display\, including a native Michigan koala\, Henry Ford’s pet dodo\, and a miniature manatee.  The items will be integrated with the permanent collections and interspersed throughout the galleries\, creating a trail of wonderful objects.  How many will you find?  The exhibit opens March 26 and runs through April 10\, though Mr. Sapoli tells us the best viewing will be on Friday\, April 1\, at 4:01 pm.

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:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\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:Health\, History\, Demography and Development (H2D2)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nWhat are the labor market effects of disenfranchisement? A large literature documents the impact of enfranchisement on public spending\, but less is known about the interaction of voting status and labor market outcomes. One potential mechanism is that of political patronage employment: the exchange of government employment for electoral support. Using for identification the repeal of state-level laws which enfranchised non-citizen immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries\, I find that from 1900-1930\, non-citizen immigrants were 28 – 42% more likely to obtain public employment while enfranchised than after the repeal of the laws. This result is robust to a variety of specifications. Consistent with a patronage mechanism\, I find that this effect is strongest in local electoral environments in which a single vote constituted a higher fraction of the expected winning margin: those counties with a recent history of more contested congressional races\, and a smaller overall voting pool.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Take Back the Economy: Building Community Economies
DESCRIPTION:In 1996 feminist economic geographer\, political economist and collective author J.K. Gibson-Graham wrote of giving up on “waiting for the revolution.” Instead Gibson-Graham proposed to smash capitalism while working at home in her spare time. In the twenty years since writing The End of Capitalism (As We Knew It): A Feminist Critique of Political Economy\, Gibson-Graham and members of the Community Economies Collective have developed numerous strategies for taking back the economy for people and the planet. In this presentation\, Katherine Gibson will review some of these strategies that link to economic experiments forging post-capitalist ways of being all over the world.\n\nKatherine Gibson is a Professorial Research Fellow in the Institute for Culture and Society at the University of Western Sydney. She is an economic geographer with an international reputation for innovative research on economic transformation and over 30 years’ experience of working with communities to build resilient economies. As J.K. Gibson-Graham\, the collective authorial presence she shares with the late Julie Graham (Professor of Geography\, University of Massachusetts Amherst)\,  her books include The End of Capitalism (As We Knew It): A Feminist Critique of Political Economy (Blackwell 1996) and A Postcapitalist Politics(University of Minnesota Press\, 2006). Her most recent books are Take Back the Economy: An Ethical Guide for Transforming Our Communities\, co-authored with Jenny Cameron and Stephen Healy (University of Minnesota Press\, 2013)\, Making Other Worlds Possible: Performing Diverse Economies\, co-edited with Gerda Roelvink and Kevin St Martin (University of Minnesota Press\, 2015) and Manifesto For Living in the Anthropocene\, co-edited with Deborah Bird Rose and Ruth Fincher (Punctum Press\, 2015).\n\nSponsored by: The Border Collective Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop and the Marxisms Interdisciplinary Working Group

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Hilde De Weerdt\, Professor of Chinese History\, Leiden University\n\nIn twelfth-century Song China governmental control over current information circulated orally\, in manuscript\, and print became stricter. At the same time\, the private and commercial publication of state documents\, court news\, and recent history grew exponentially. The former aspect\, censorship\, has received much attention in Chinese Studies. Professor de Weerdt  proposes that both aspects\, secrecy and publicity\, need to be understood together\, and she  will reflect on the causes for central and local governments’ ambivalent stance towards the circulation of archival materials and current affairs and their longer-term consequences on imperial Chinese political culture.\n\nShe argues\, in part on the basis of digital analyses of notebooks and letters\, that the paradigmatic shift towards localism amongst political elites in the twelfth century was accompanied by a structural transformation in political communication between court and provincial elites. This transformation was characterized by the dissemination of shared political imaginaries based on territorial claims and the consolidation of the position of the literati or cultural elites as the main producers and consumers of history and current affairs texts. Special consideration will be given to the question of how we can trace and analyze communication networks and political networking and their role in the history of Chinese polities.\n\nHilde De Weerdt is Professor of Chinese History at the Leiden Institute for Area Studies. Prior to this she taught at King’s College London (Reader in Chinese History\, 2012-13)\, Oxford University (University Lecturer/Associate Professor in Chinese History\, 2007-2012) and Pembroke College (Fellow\, 2007-2012)\, and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (Assistant Professor of Chinese History\, 2002-2007). She wrote an intellectual history of the civil service examinations\, titled\, \"Competition over Content: Negotiating Standards for the Civil Service Examinations in Imperial China (1127-1276)\" (Harvard University Asia Center\, 2007). Her research focuses on the question of how social networks shaped Chinese politics. Her interests in intellectual and political history\, information technologies\, social networks\, and digital research methods have also led to her involvement in several comparative and digital humanities projects including “Communication and Empire: Chinese Empires in Comparative Perspective” (funded by the European Research Council\, 2012-17) and “DID-ACTE: Digging into Data: Automating Chinese Text Extraction” (funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council\, the Joint Information Systems Committee\, and the National Endowment for the Humanities\, 2014-2016).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Using Art to Disrupt the Criminal Justice System
DESCRIPTION:Presented as part of a campus wide collaboration with the Prison Creative Arts Project and visiting photographer and activist Mark Strandquist.\n\nMark Strandquist is an artist\, activist\, and educator who has spent years using art as a vehicle for connecting diverse communities to build empathy and support for social justice movements. At the core of his practice is the belief that those most impacted by a given issue are the experts society needs to listen. He works across disciplines connecting those directly impacted with a multitude of community experts to impact change on personal and policy levels. His projects include from working with incarcerated youth to train police officers\, to connecting incarcerated men and women with thousands through interactive public art installation\, to creating teams of lawyers\, artists\, and formerly incarcerated individuals to help facilitate free legal clinics that have cleared the records of thousands of individuals.

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:\"Muslims in America: A Forgotten History\,\" An evening with Laila Lalami
DESCRIPTION:The year 2015 has seen a spike in anti-Muslim rhetoric. Presidential candidates have suggested\, among other things\, that American Muslims \"celebrated\" the attacks of September 11\, that they should be forced to register in a federal database\, and that refugees be forced to undergo a religious test. This rhetoric is vicious and shrill\, but it is not new. And it persists regardless of what the facts may say. Part of the reason for this is that Muslims are presented as latecomers to America\, recent arrivals who’ve grafted themselves into an already thriving country. In fact\, Muslims have been part of America since before it became a nation. In this talk\, Laila Lalami will discuss history\, its transmission\, and how fiction can help us fill in some of its many gaps and silences.\n\nLaila Lalami is the author\, most recently\, of The Moor’s Account\, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. She writes the “Between the Lines” column for The Nation\, and is a professor of creative writing at the University of California\, Riverside. Booksigning & sale immediately following.\nFree and open to the public. Seating is limited\; please arrive early.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS African Workshop “Water to Swallow the Pill of Wisdom: Humour in African Proverbs”
DESCRIPTION:Kofi Asare Opoku is a former chair of the Ghana Institute of African Studies and a retired Professor of African Traditional Religion from Lafayette College in Pennsylvania\, USA. He has taught and delivered numerous lectures on African culture and world religions across the globe in the past forty years. Professor Opoku’s grandfather\, Theophilus Opoku\, was the first African to be ordained in Ghana in 1872. After Professor Opoku graduated from seminary\, he became interested in African Traditional Religion\, and made the decision not to be ordained. He holds degrees from Yale University Divinity School and the University of Ghana. \n  Opoku has published several books\, including West African Traditional Religion (1978)\; Healing for God’s World: Remedies from Three Continents\, with Kim Yong-Bock and Antoinette C. Wire (1991)\; Hearing and Keeping: Akan Proverbs (1997)\; andSpeak to the Winds: Proverbs from Africa (1975). Opoku has also authored numerous articles and papers on African culture\, spirituality\, and religions and their impact on Western ideas. He is currently a farmer at Mampong\, Akuapem\, in Ghana’s Eastern Region.\n\nAbstract: The humour found in African proverbs is not merely intended to induce laughter or amusement. Rather\, it is the water with which the pill of wisdom (proverbs) is swallowed.\n\nGenerous support was provided by the Center for World Performance Studies and the African Studies Center\n\n​For further information\, please contact (734) 764-5517 or email ecnirp@umich.edu​

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Distinguished Lecture: Road Toward the New Light - The Invention of High Efficient Blue LEDs and Future Lighting
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Shuji Nakamura\, Nobel Laureate in Physics for the invention of efficient\, practical\, blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs)\, will talk about his engineering breakthrough as well as the future of lighting in the 21st century.\nDevelopment of an efficient blue LED enabled a new source of bright white light that is ten times as efficient as today's incandescent bulbs\, and they last for 50 years. With about 25% of the world's electricity used for lighting\, the impact of his work is global\, and not just for highly industrialized countries. LEDs are so energy-efficient\, they can be powered by cheap local solar power\, which brings the possibility of light to the 1.5 billion people who live and work off the energy grid.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic History
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIt is well documented that married men earn higher wages than single\nmen. One of the explanations for this phenomenon is the theory of\nintra-household specialization with marriage making men more\nproductive in the workplace with discrimination and selection being\ncompeting alternatives. Decreasing returns to marriage since 1960 goes\nin tandem with less specialization in the home\, but there is little\nevidence of how men benefited from marriage in the past when few\nmarried women worked and the male breadwinner norm was strong. The\nwage premium for married men is investigated using matched\nemployer-employee data from the Swedish manufacturing industry circa\n1900. The extent to which pay differences between married and single\nmen were related to productivity (work effort)\, selection/sorting (on\nfirms) or to discrimination can be explored thanks to detailed\ninformation. We find marriage premia of similar magnitude to those\nfound in the US today. Among those who worked for productivity-related\npay\, married men earned a premium because they were more productive.\nAmong those who worked for time rates in more modern occupations\,\nmarried men sorted themselves across employers and a premium was\nsupported by the union. The results indicate that the marriage premium\nemerged from productivity differentials but became a general strategy\nwith the emergence of the modern labor market.

DESCRIPTION:For those anticipating retirement in the next 24 months\, this six-session group on preparing for a satisfying retirement will combine exploration of relevant topics with creative expression and supportive discussion. The focus of this group will be on the transition of retirement and the challenges that come with it -- from questions like \"How will I define myself?\" to “How will I establish priorities and spend my time?”\n\nThis series will help you plan for the non-financial aspects of retirement\, such as redefining who you are\, revisiting what is most important to you\, exploring new interests and opportunities\, and maintaining social connections. You will also learn about what researchers find makes for a fulfilling retirement. \n\nThis program is open to all U-M personnel (staff\, faculty\, and students) and to the general public.\n\nYou must register for the entire series\, as each session is sequenced to provide an optimal experience. The registration fee of $150 covers all six sessions.\nhttp://www.cew.umich.edu/progevents/moving-career-success-retirement-success/20160113

SUMMARY:Performance:Marshall Crenshaw & the Bottle Rockets
DESCRIPTION:Can anyone who was listening to new music in the 1980s forget the songs of Marshall Crenshaw? To New Wave pop they brought country and R&B elements\, they brought romantic yearning\, they brought the craft of a true songwriter. Unlike most of the acts of that era of youthful musical attitude\, southest Michigan native Marshall Crenshaw is still going strong. These days the bespectacled romantic fool of the early 1980s is all grown up\, but with his fabulous songwriting chops undiminished—and even augmented a bit by jazz harmonies on occasion. Marshall comes to town with St. Louis alt-country band The Bottle Rockets\, who will play a set of their own and then join Marshall as his backing band. He'll be bringing his first new album in six years\, \"The EP Collection.\"
