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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Shakespeare on Page and Stage: A Celebration
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit is a historical journey through different versions of Shakespeare’s plays as they were edited for publication or interpreted  for the stage. Starting with the Second Folio (1632)\, our display includes a selection of landmark editions by authors and scholars like John Dryden\, Nicholas Rowe\, Alexander Pope\, Samuel Johnson\, and Edmond Malone. It explores the staging and costuming of productions such as Charles Kean’s archaeologically-informed\, elaborately-costumed 1856 production of The Winter’s Tale\, and Maurice Browne-Ellen Van Volkenburg 1930 production of Othello casting Paul Robeson as the first black actor to play Othello in a century.\n\nMost of the titles included in this display come from the McMillan Shakespeare Library. Materials are also displayed from the Maurice Browne and Ellen Van Volkenburg Papers\, 1792-1968 and the Zelma Weisfeld Archive\, 1954-2006. All these books and artifacts are held in the Special Collections Library.\n\nAudubon Room Hours: Monday-Friday 8:30 am to 7 pm\, Saturday 10 am to 6 pm\, Sunday 1 pm to 7 pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Wall in Process
DESCRIPTION:This wall-in-process represents a snapshot into the year long collaborative project Humanize the Numbers at the University of Michigan. Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Accent Elimination
DESCRIPTION:About Accent Elimination\n\nNina Katchadourian’s work Accent Elimination\, the last installation in the Institute’s Year of Conversions\, meanders and parses through our notions of identity. Katchadourian considers the ongoing quandary of where we really come from\, who we are\, trying to isolate our sense of ourselves in counterpoint with the way people define or judge us based upon their assumptions. It is\, of course\, the unique combination of things that offers our most comprehensive and authentic self-reflection\, not one thing or another\, and this amalgamation is to some degree indecipherable.\n\n\nAlthough they have lived in the United States for over 45 years\, Katchadourian’s foreign-born parents both have distinctive but hard-to-place accents that the artist has never been able to imitate correctly. Inspired by posters around New York advertising courses in “accent elimination\,” Katchadourian decided to hire a professional who could teach her to speak in each of her parents’ accents and teach them to speak with a so-called “standard American accent.” Katchadourian and her parents took intensive lessons with accent coach Sam Chwat at his office every other day for several weeks\, and also practiced in the artist’s studio between lessons. They worked with two scripts: one written by her mother and the other by her father\, both modeled on the typical conversation that each of them has when talking with a stranger who notices an accent and is curious about its origins.\n\nKatchadourian plays the part of the stranger. The dialogues are first performed in everyone’s natural accents\, then at the end of the piece\, after much practice and struggle\, they attempt to perform the\nsame scripts—in the best version they can muster—of their new accents.\n\nIn light of recent and all-too-familiar seismic political shifts consumed with “otherness\,” and building walls rather than bringing them down\, Accent Elimination feels especially prescient. It reminds us there\nare so many layers that comprise our cultural identities\, stacked up like markers\, artifacts of our points of origin as well as our extraordinary journeys. It is an ongoing and painstaking process as to what we save and what we lose along the way by choice\, necessity\, or circumstance. And in all of this\, perhaps we discover ourselves on common ground.\n\nAccent Elimination was included at the 2015 Venice Biennale in the Armenian pavilion\, which won the Golden Lion for Best National Participation. Nina Katchadourian is represented by Catharine Clark Gallery.\n\nNina Katchadourian’s University of Michigan visit is the result of a collaboration between the Institute for the Humanities and the Armenian Studies Program.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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:Conference / Symposium:Near Eastern Studies Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Near Eastern Studies is proud to present: \"Interdisciplinary Approaches to Cuneiform Studies and Ancient Societies:  The Impact of the Work of Piotr Michalowski\,\" a symposium honoring the career of NES Professor Piotr Michalowski\, George G. Cameron Professor of Ancient Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. \n\nThis event is a celebration of our colleague Piotr Michalowski and his contributions to Near Eastern studies. In the field of Assyriology\, with its increasing specialization and proliferation of subfields\, Michalowski’s past\, current\, and future work has spanned an impressive range of topics and methodologies. The sum of this work has prompted an occasion to examine the connections between cuneiform studies and neighboring disciplines and to put several different subfields within Assyriology itself into dialogue. Topics of the papers range from music\, to language\, to cultural memory – all dimensions of Michalowski's contributions. \n\n9:00 Breakfast\n\n9:30 Keynote Address\nGary Beckman\, University of Michigan\nForward into the Past: Mesopotamian Studies Since 1970\n \n10-12 Sumerian Language and Literature\nChair: Chris Woods\, University of Chicago\n \nPiotr Steinkeller\, Harvard University\nSumerian City Laments: Historical or Not Historical?\n \nSteven Garfinkle\, Western Washington University\nmu Pi-ut-ur lugal An-ar-burki ma-da mar-tu mu-hul “The year Piotr\, king of Ann Arbor\, defeated the land of the Amorites.” Frontier strategy in the Ur III period: a view from the inside\n \nPaul Delnero\, The Johns Hopkins University  \nWhat is a Sumerian Literary Text?\, Or Why a History of Mesopotamian Religion should be written (and a History of Sumerian Literature should not)\n \nGonzalo Rubio\, Penn State University\nOn the Many Lives of Sumerian\n \nJay Crisostomo\, University of Michigan\nSumerian – Not the Language your Diviner is Looking for\n \nRespondent: Steve Tinney\, University of Pennsylvania\n\n--Break--\n\n1-3 Assyriology: Language and History\nChair: Matt Stolper\, University of Chicago\n \nNiek Veldhuis\, UC Berkeley\nMining the Cuneiform Corpus\n \nPeter Machinist\, Harvard University  \nAkkadian in the First Millennium BC: The View from Israel and Other Western Outposts\n \nGina Konstantopoulos\, NYU-ISAW\nDisgraced Pipers and Animal Orchestras in Mesopotamia\n \nJerrold Cooper\, The Johns Hopkins University / UC Berkeley\nFemale Troubles: Masculinity at the Creation\n \nRespondent: Martha Roth\, University of Chicago\n\n--Coffee Break--\n\n3:30-5:30 The Broader Ancient World\nChair: David Owen\, Cornell University\n \nTom Trautmann\, University of Michigan\nPiotr and the Elephants\n \nJennifer Finn\, Marquette University\nSome Unanswered Letters from the Ancient World\n \nGeoff Emberling\, University of Michigan\nCollective Memory or Public Acquiescence?

DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the beautiful forms that pollen takes\, the amazing power of these tiny grains of life\, and the challenges that honeybees and pollinators face\, U-M Stamps School of Art & Design professor Susan Crowell fashioned large-scale ceramic sculptures of pollen. The sculptures will be displayed in the conservatory at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. As part of the exhibit Crowell has also created three sculptures of  pollen collected from the 80-year-old agave that bloomed at Matthaei in 2014. The agave pollen sculptures are based on scanning electron microscope images of the pollen taken by the U-M Hospitals imaging lab.

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:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Fridays at Noon Lecture Series: Muslim Memories of Buddhist Pasts
DESCRIPTION:Everyone in West Sumatra knows the story of the name “Minangkabau\,” the dominant provincial ethnic group. Before the coming of Islam a Javanese army arrived in the highlands seeking to make itself suzerain over the indigenous polities. They were thwarted by shrewd local leaders who challenged the foreigners to a buffalo fight. The Javanese brought out a giant bull and the locals a starving calf with sharpened horns. The calf tried to nurse\, eviscerated the bull\, the invaders retreated and named the locals the people of the Victorious (Menang) Buffalo (Kerbau). However this story only emerges in local Malay and Minangkabau-language sources at the turn of the 20th century. And it appears alongside the name Adityawarman—who is described as either a local Buddhist king or the leader of the invading army.\n\nThis presentation is an analysis of these two cultural feedback loops\, both involving Indonesian interactions with Dutch colonial scholarship\, that transformed ideas of tradition in West Sumatra in the early twentieth century. By tracing the call and response between European colonial scholarship and local mythology we can examine how the classical Buddhist period is represented in late colonial historical fiction\, how the figure of Adityawarman is rehabilitated in 20th century folklore\, and why today pre-Islamic menhirs are not demolished by provincially-dominant sharia-enforcing political parties but incorporated into contemporary public spaces.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SoConDi / PhonDi
DESCRIPTION:A joint discussion with SoConDi and PhonDi with Jiseung Kim on \"Prosodic Accommodation in Seoul Korean Accentual Phrase.\"\n\nAbstract\nThe goal of this study is to examine prosodic accommodation\, specifically testing accommodation at prosodic boundaries for speakers of Seoul Korean. Sixteen native speakers of Seoul Korean participated in a sentence completion task where they were asked to complete a target sentence after reading (in the baseline condition) or listening to (in the test condition) a context sentence. In both cases\, participants completed the sentence by speaking. The auditory context sentences had artificially manipulated prosody. The manipulation lowered the f0 of the phrase-final syllables that were associated with the Accentual Phrase-final rise\, which is a characteristic intonational property of Seoul Korean. The f0 values – f0 maximum\, minimum\, mean\, and range – were extracted from the AP-final syllables of the participants’ responses\, and were compared between the baseline and test conditions. The results of the linear mixed-effects model analysis on 14 speakers showed evidence of convergence. The results suggest that effects of accommodation may be manifested in the pitch levels associated with a prosodic boundary. Further analysis is needed to separate the accommodation effects from the effect of pitch declination over the course of the experiment.

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:Biophysics Seminar: \"Electron Microsocpy Approaches to Studying Lipid-Protein Interactions\"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nMembrane proteins play crucial roles in many cellular processes such as signaling\, nutrient uptake and cell adhesion.  Although the lipid bilayer influences many aspects of membrane protein function\, our understanding of lipid–protein interactions is limited.  In the first part of my seminar\, I will describe how electron crystallography of the water channel aquaporin-0 reconstituted with lipids into two-dimensional crystals can be used to address very basic questions in membrane biology\, such as the driving forces that define lipid–protein interactions and the effects of hydrophobic mismatch.  In the second part\, I will discuss how we plan to use membrane proteins reconstituted into nanodiscs to make it possible to study lipid–protein interactions by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Linguistics Graduate Students Hayley Heaton and Mike Opper will each be giving a talk.\n\nHayley Heaton will speak on\, \"Representing American Southern Prosody in the Media.\"\n\nAbstract:\nA case study of two fictional characters in two television series investigates American Southern prosody and introduces prosodic analysis into studies of language and media. Using media to investigate prosody is new to both the fields of prosody and media studies. Media representations are built off of assumed shared knowledge between the producer and the viewer (Bubel & Spitz 2006). Thus\, the question becomes what linguistic features are indexical enough to be used to that end. Are prosodic features used by individuals to mark regional identity? If they do use prosody to index region\, what features are used? To investigate these questions\, this study examines style-shifting in pitch accent and boundary tone type and frequency as well as pitch accent and boundary tone per word measures. The characters both show evidence of prosodic style-shifting\, indicating that prosody is playing into their characterizations rather than remaining static throughout the performance. The characters vary their prosody in different ways\, one with an emphasis on pitch accents and the other on boundary tones\, indicating speaker specific prosodic strategies. Results indicate that Southern prosodic features may be utilized in media representations of dialect.\n\nMike Opper will speak on \"Understanding Phonological Contrast in Bai.\"\n\nAbstract:\nI present the context and a summary my ongoing dissertation research in this talk. My dissertation covers three topics in Bai phonology which are loosely related: the sub-syllabic affiliation of pre-nuclear glides in Bai\, ongoing vowel shifts in the southern variety\, and ongoing tone mergers in the southern variety. This talk focuses on the first topic\, addresses the second topic\, and will briefly introduce the third topic if there is time.\nThe context of previous research on Bai can be summarized as follows. Although the Bai are an ethnic minority in China and their language lacks a well established written tradition\, phonological inventories and lexical items for these varieties are fairly well documented. This is perhaps because of the unclear affiliation of Bai within the Sino-Tibetan language family. However\, despite the large body of descriptive work on these linguistic varieties\, no prior research has presented adequate phonemic analysis.\nThe fundamental difference between my analysis and prior work is simple. Pre-nuclear glides [j\, w\, ɥ] in Bai do not form sub-syllabic constituents with nuclear vowels. I show that this approach is particularly appealing due to economy in phonemic analysis\, explanatory power for predicting reduplicative and rhyming patterns\, and accountability of attested and unattested syllables. Furthermore\, discrepancies in the inventories of nuclear vowels across dialect descriptions can be understood as ongoing vowel shifts through my proposal.

DESCRIPTION:Theorist Wendy Chun\, whose work melds systems design engineering and English literature\, will discuss her forthcoming book Updating to Remain the Same: Habitual New Media (MIT Press). Chun argues that our technologies matter most not when they are new but when they have become obsolete—when they have moved from the bleeding edge to the realm of the everyday\, when our use of them has become habitual. Habits are automatic—they “remain by disappearing from consciousness”—but also voluntary and even creative: we are constantly encouraged to seek better habits\, better patterns. Habits make us like our peers\, demarcating social class\; they are also deeply personal. Chun explores how the slow\, “creepy” accretion of habits—both conscious and unconscious—relate to distinctions between public and private\, memory and storage\, individual actions and social systems. \n\nWendy Hui Kyong Chun is Professor and Chair of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University. She has studied both Systems Design Engineering and English Literature\, which she combines and mutates in her current work on digital media. She is author of Control and Freedom: Power and Paranoia in the Age of Fiber Optics  (MIT\, 2006)\, and Programmed Visions: Software and Memory (MIT 2011).  She is co-editor (with Tara McPherson and Patrick Jagoda) of a special issue of American Literature entitled New Media and American Literature \, co-editor (with Lynne Joyrich) of a special issue of Camera Obscura entitled Race and/as Technology and co-editor (with Anna Fisher and Thomas Keenan) of New Media\, Old Media: A History and Theory Reader\, 2nd edition (forthcoming Routledge\, 2015).  She is the Velux Visiting Professor of Management\, Politics and Philosophy at the Copenhagen Business School\; she has been the Wayne Morse Chair for Law and Politics at the University of Oregon\, Visiting Professor at Leuphana University (Luneburg\, Germany)\, Visiting Associate Professor in the History of Science Department at Harvard\, of which she is currently an Associate. She has been a Member of the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton)\, a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard and a Wriston Fellow at Brown. Her forthcoming monograph is entitled Updating to Remain the Same: Habitual New Media ( forthcoming MIT 2016).\n\nThis keynote is part of the event: \"What Is Digital Studies?\" A conference about the new interdisciplinary Program in Digital Studies at the University of Michigan\n\nApril 15\, 2016\n11:30 AM- 7:00 PM\nGallery\, Hatcher Library\n\nhttp://lsa.umich.edu/digitalstudies/news-events/all-events.detail.html/28142-2666180.html

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:William R. Farrand Memorial Lecture: The Timeline of the Universe: From the Big Bang to the Far Future
DESCRIPTION:This talk outlines the entire history of the cosmos. After reviewing the history of the universe to the present epoch\, we consider the evolution of planets\, stars\, galaxies\, and the universe itself over time scales that greatly exceed the current cosmic age. The discussion follows stellar evolution and the transformation of stars into degenerate stellar remnants. After the demise of the galaxy and the evaporation of expelled degenerate stars and the largest black holes\, the universe slowly slides into darkness.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lighting up Dark Matter
DESCRIPTION:One crucial component of our current understanding of galaxies and cosmology is that most of the matter in the Universe is in the form of dark matter--an as-yet-unidentified form of matter that appears to neither give off nor interact with light. In this talk\, Professor Bell will describe what we have learned about the distribution of dark matter around galaxies by studying stars in the sparsely-populated distant outskirts of galaxies\, well outside where one would expect to find stars.\nThis event is presented by the University Lowbrow Astronomers and is an official event of the MSU Science Festival's Statewide Astronomy Night.

SUMMARY:Performance:Tim O'Brien
DESCRIPTION:Singer\, songwriter\, and multi-instrumentalist Tim O'Brien has become one of the most respected and beloved figures in American music over the last 30 years. As a member of the bluegrass band Hot Rize and its comic offshoot Red Knuckles & the Trailblazers\, he set a new standard for contemporary bluegrass that maintained respect for the tradition. His songs\, in the hands of superstars like the Dixie Chicks\, Garth Brooks\, and Kathy Mattea\, have roosted atop the country charts for months. He's delved into Celtic music\, old-time music\, and more\, and he's put a deeply personal stamp on everything he's done. Tim O'Brien is not only one of the most talented roots musicians working today\, he's also one of the most visionary.  Tim comes to Michigan with his first new solo album in four years. Says Tim: \"It’s called 'Pompadour' and features six new originals\, covers of songs by Woody Guthrie\, James Brown\, Michael Hurley\, and Dan Reeder\, plus a traditional fiddle tune. 'Pompadour' includes banjo and electric guitar sounds\, funk and swing grooves\, and even a couple of love songs.\"
