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: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: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:Lecture / Discussion:HOW DO WE TALK TO PEOPLE WHO ARE DIFFERENT?
DESCRIPTION:The central and abiding value of the study of the humanities is to facilitate communication across cultural and economic divisions. It is through the \nexploration of expression – the core purpose of humanistic study – that we are able to better understand each other and to draw upon the shared experience of past and present diverse cultures to help us do so.   \n\nDavid Potter received his A.B. from Harvard and his Doctor of Philosophy from Oxford University. After two years as a visiting Assistant Professor at Bryn Mawr College\, he joined UM’s Department of Classical Studies in 1986. He has authored numerous books.\n\nThis is the first in a six-lecture series. The subject is \"The Power of the Liberal Arts.\" The next lecture will be April 14\, entitled “'DON’T JUST DO SOMETHING\, STAND THERE':  ON TEACHING STUDENTS HOW TO BE HUMAN AND DIVINE\"

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:Presentation:Department of Psychology Colloquium (Sponsored by the Personality and Social Contexts Area):  Multicultural Mind versus Multicultural Self - Linking Culture\, Cognition\, and Identity
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn the face of rapid globalization\, many individuals are being exposed to multiple cultural traditions and practices.  Although multiple cultural exposures have been shown to have beneficial effects (such as enhancing cultural frame switching and creativity)\, it could also threaten individuals’ own cultural identity.  To understand the interplay between these two opposing consequences\, I will delineate the concepts of Multicultural Mind and Multicultural Self.  Multicultural mind entails acquiring and applying knowledge of new cultures.  This process could benefit creativity and even reduce prejudice and discrimination.  By contrast\, multicultural self entails using cultural traditions to define the self\, a process that could lead to negative reactions toward new cultures if individuals endorse racial essentialism (believing that race has biological essence rather than it is a social construction).  In my talk\, I will first present empirical findings of multicultural mind and multicultural self\, and then discuss the latest extension to cultural mixing and cultural attachment.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Communicating Self in a Networked World
DESCRIPTION:Advances in social media technologies have brought unprecedented opportunities for communicating self on different online platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Many of these platforms facilitate self-disclosure to a network\, which blurs boundaries between what is public and what is private\, and raises questions about new self-disclosure practices. In this talk we will explore socio-cognitive dynamics underlying self-disclosure exchanges\, including motivations that drive people to share personal information in online networks and factors that influence psychological rewards people draw from it. We will also discuss issues of wellbeing and mental health in relation to communication in social media. \n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nNatalie Bazarova is an is an assistant professor in communication and director of the Social Media Lab at Cornell University. Her research examines social interactions mediated by information and communication technology in dyads\, groups and networks\, with a particular emphasis on self-disclosure\, privacy\, wellbeing and personal relationships. Her work has been funded by grants from the National Science Foundation\, National Institutes of Health\, United States Department of Agriculture\, Cornell Institute for the Social Sciences and Cornell’s Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research. She is a Faculty Fellow at the Cornell Institute for the Social Sciences for the 2015-16 academic year. \n\nAbout the series:\n\nThis series is co-sponsored by the School of Information and the Department of Communication Studies in the College of Literature\, Science and the Arts.

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:In finitely repeated prisoner dilemma games\, two-person teams start with significantly less   cooperation than individuals\, consistent with results from the psychology literature. This quickly gives way to teams cooperating more than individuals. Team dialogues show increased payoffs from cooperation\, along with anticipating opponents’ recognition of same\, provides the basis for cooperation\, even while fully anticipating defection near the end game. A strong status quo bias in defecting across super-games limits unraveling. Defecting typically occurs’ one round earlier across super-games\, consistent with low marginal\, or even negative\, benefits of more than one-step-ahead defection. We briefly discuss the effect of cheap talk between opponents on outcomes\, and the driving forces for the results observed with cheap talk.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:​Abstract: \nWe examine whether returns to capital are higher for farmers who borrow than for those who do not\, a direct implication of many credit market models. We measure the difference in returns through a two‐stage loan and grant experiment. We find large positive investment responses and returns to grants for a random (representative) sample of farmers\, showing that liquidity constraints bind. However\, we find zero returns to grants for a sample of farmers who endogenously did not borrow. Thus we find important heterogeneity\, even conditional on a wide range of observed characteristics\, which has critical implications for theory and policy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar with Dr. Bree Rosemblum
DESCRIPTION:My research focuses on the processes that generate and threaten biological diversity. How are new species formed and why are species being lost at such an alarming rate in our contemporary world? Specifically\, I am interested in the fundamental processes that affect biodiversity: speciation and extinction. I focus on understanding mechanisms of rapid evolution across levels of organization -- from genes to ecosystems. I am motivated by research questions that cross scales\, and my lab uses diverse methods from field studies to laboratory experiments to full-genome sequencing. For this seminar\, I will present recent results from studies on two core systems I have been developing over the last decade. I will discuss insights into wildlife declines gained from studying disease-related extinctions in amphibian populations. I will then discuss insights into evolutionary predictability gained from studying rapid adaptation in desert lizard populations. Overall I hope to share the importance of understanding organismal response to changing environments.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/nVbGwNz8rCg

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"Progressive Thought after the End of Progress: The Longevity of an Idea in the 20th Century\"
DESCRIPTION:The idea of progress is closely related to the modern time regime that\, according to Reinhart Koselleck\, emerged around 1800. Historians commonly associate the 19th century with the widespread hope for a better future to be brought about by the advances of science and technology. By contrast\, in the 20th century\, observers located the death of progress in the industrialized mass killings of the world wars or the alleged transformations from modernity to postmodernity in the 1970s. These obituaries\, however\, should not be transferred into historiography as they overlook the continuing appeal of the idea of progress among scientific and technical as well as political elites throughout the century and into our present. \n\nRüdiger Graf (PD\, PhD) is currently the head of the research unit on the History of Economic Thought and Practice at the Center for Contemporary History\, Potsdam. He studied history and philosophy at Berlin and Berkeley. In 2006\, he received his PhD with a study on “The Future of Weimar Germany. Crises and Appropriations of the Future 1918-1933” at Humboldt University and\, in 2013\, his habilitation with a book on oil “Oil und Sovereignty. Petroknowlegde and Energy Policy in the United States and Western Europe in the 1970s”at Ruhr-University Bochum. He was a visiting scholar at New York University\, a Kennedy-Fellow at the Center for European Studies at Harvard University and a Fellow at the Historisches Kolleg in Munich. Apart from the history of Weimar Germany and the history of oil and energy\, he also published on historical theory and methodology.\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Comedy of Consent: Shakespeare’s Dream of Politics
DESCRIPTION:Joseph Loewenstein\, Washington University professor and a specialist in Renaissance Literature and Cuture\, unearths the constitutional politics of Shakespearean comedy and considers Shakespeare’s meditation on publicness in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. He says\, \"For all their remarkable achievements in fine arts\, literature\, astronomy\, philology\, mathematics\, and engineering\, Renaissance Europeans had few successes as political theorists. Or so we are told. But if we look in odd places—in the comedies of Shakespeare\, and in one or two of his tragedies—we may find that a few concepts crucial to modern political theory receive sustained attention. This lecture will consider two of them briefly\, and one at length.\"  \n\nSponsored by U-M Library and the English Department\, in conjunction with the exhibit Shakespeare on Page and Stage: A Celebration http://www.lib.umich.edu/events/shakespeare-page-and-stage-celebration and the commemoration of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture. Putin’s Kleptocracy: Who Owns Russia?
DESCRIPTION:The raging question in the world today is who is the real Vladimir Putin and what are his intentions. Karen Dawisha’s research provides an answer\, describing how Putin got to power\, the cabal he brought with him\, the billions they have looted\, and his plan to restore the Greater Russia. She presents extensive new evidence about the Putin circle’s use of public positions for personal gain even before Putin became president in 2000. She documents the establishment of Bank Rossiya\, now sanctioned by the US\; the rise of the Ozero cooperative\, founded by Putin and others who are now subject to visa bans and asset freezes\; the links between Putin\, Petromed\, and “Putin’s Palace” near Sochi\; and the role of security officials from Putin’s KGB days in Leningrad and Dresden\, many of whom have maintained their contacts with Russian organized crime.\n\nKaren Dawisha is the Walter E. Havighurst Professor of Political Science and founding director of the Havighurst Center for Russian and Post-Soviet Studies at Miami University in Oxford\, Ohio. She received her Ph.D. from the London School of Economics\, and her research and teaching focus on post-communist transitions and Russian politics. Dawisha’s latest work\, Putin’s Kleptocracy: Who Owns Russia? (Simon & Schuster 2014)\, chronicles the rise of Vladimir Putin during his time in St. Petersburg in the 1990s. With painstaking research to support her claims\, Dawisha exposes how Putin’s friends and coworkers from his formative years have accumulated mass amounts of wealth and power. She has been featured in the New York Times\, The Economist\, The Wall Street Journal\, and Foreign Affairs\, and has spoken at the Woodrow Wilson Center\, U.S. State Department\, and the Hudson Institute.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Lecture: Ships and Shippers of Pre-Modern Southeast Asia: A Neglected Link in Eurasian Trade Systems
DESCRIPTION:Until recently\, historians were content to acknowledge the sailing skills of the Austronesian speaking people of Southeast Asia\, without granting them any agency in World history. Triggered by sustained progress in the archaeology of both coastal sites and shipwrecks in Southeast Asia\, and by a reconsideration of textual sources of the past two millennia\, a new paradigm is now emerging\, where these same people play an active role as shipbuilders\, shipmasters\, and entrepreneurs in pan-Asian trade networks.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nPierre-Yves Manguin is emeritus professor of archaeology at the Ecole française d'Extrême-Orient (EFEO\, French School of Asian Studies\, Paris). His research focuses on early history and archaeology of coastal states and trade networks of Southeast Asia. Starting in the early 1980s\, he has lead archaeological work in the South Sumatra and West Java in Indonesia\, and in the Mekong Delta in Southern Vietnam\, focussing on harbour-city sites situated along the main trade routes\, and on shipwreck sites of Indonesia. He has published on themes related to the archaeology of the early states of Srivijaya (South Sumatra)\, Funan (Mekong Delta)\, Tarumanagara (West Java)\, and on trade and state formation processes in Southeast Asia.\n\nOrganized by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies\; co-sponsored by the Center for South Asian Studies\, Department of Anthropology\, Museum of Anthropological Archaeology\, and  Doctoral Program in Anthropology and History.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series Presents: Renny Ramakers
DESCRIPTION:Art historian turned curator turned environmental trendsetter\, Renny Ramakers is co-founder and creative director of Amsterdam-based design company Droog\, where she initiates projects\, curates exhibitions\, and stretches the borders of design thinking. Named one of the “150 Women Who Shake the World” by Newsweek\, Ramakers' aim is to deliver cutting edge content and unexpected perspectives in an interdisciplinary and a down-to-earth way. Droog has been pioneering new directions for design since the early nineties\, redefining international notions of luxury in design. Today\, Droog continues to develop new concepts and scenarios for products\, spaces\, events and communication tools. In a recent collaborative venture entitled “UP\,” Droog is working with companies to cut down on waste by using surplus materials to create new goods. Beauty and experience with minimal means\, always with a twist and respect for the existing. Not so much less is more\, as less and more. Droog has branches in Amsterdam and Hong Kong.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chris Hillman & Herb Pedersen
DESCRIPTION:Chris Hillman was part of two pretty popular little 1960s bands called the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers\, and he was making Americana music long before the genre had a name. A genuine California cowboy when he was young\, Chris grew up on a San Diego County ranch\, riding horses\, and doing ranch chores\, but his interests would soon change from spurs and saddles to guitars and mandolins. Chris received the Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005. Bluegrass has always been an important part of Chris's music\, and he has teamed up with his Desert Rose Band comrade Herb Pedersen for a wonderful series of bluegrass albums that encompass traditional sounds\, Byrds classics\, Desert Rose Band country hits\, and more. Herb Pedersen is the leader of the Laurel Canyon Ramblers\, long one of the preeminent bands in L.A. bluegrass\, and he's worked with a whole roster of stars in bluegrass\, country\, and rock. In person these two veterans deliver a relaxed bluegrass show with the spontaneous quality that comes only from absolute mastery.

The women interviewed include Jarrar’s aunt\, a seamstress from Nablus\, former students\, and current artistic collaborators and colleagues. \n\nSong texts are adapted from the interviews\, weaving together their different voices\, perspectives and experiences in a way that challenges current existing media stereotypes of Palestinian culture and womanhood\, specifically\, through the portrayal of universal themes within a larger global context. The result is a sonic and visual exploration of personal experiences with place in relation to transnational intersectional feminist perspectives on the self/denial of the self\, the state\, personal identity\, the body\, sociality and agency.
