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:Workshop / Seminar:An Engineering Education Skunkworks to Spark Departmental Revolutio
DESCRIPTION:\"National calls for transforming engineering education have consistently emphasized the need to promote the professional skills critical for career success. The Mechanical Engineering Department at Purdue University was recently awarded a prestigious NSF Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (RED) grant to address that need by connecting organizational dynamics to student outcomes\, thereby inspiring changes in the curriculum\, the student experience\, and the ways that students\, staff\, and faculty interact with each other.\n\nThis project engages the tools of engineering education research\, ethnography\, social network analysis\, change management\, and a new\, experimental organization to manifest revolutionary change in how students are prepared for engineering careers. By focusing on both engineering education research and culture/change research questions\, the project will answer critical research questions about engineering education and appropriate approaches to achieve professional outcomes at large scale. At this seminar\, Drs. Ed Berger and Elizabeth Briody\, co-PIs for the NSF RED grant\, will present preliminary results from that project\, including baseline interview and survey data collected in Fall 2015. Some interesting\, and somewhat counter-intuitive findings will be discussed. \n\nEdward Berger\, Ph.D.\, is an Associate Professor of Engineering Education and Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. He has held past appointments at University of Virginia (including a six-year term as Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs in the School of Engineering) and University of Cincinnati. His current research focuses on organizational ­level perspectives on student outcomes\, technology usage for teaching and learning\, and the role of non­cognitive and affective factors in student academic outcomes. Elizabeth K. Briody\, Ph.D.\, is a cultural anthropologist who collaborates with organizations and institutions to help them understand their culture and improve its effectiveness. After working at GM Research Labs\, most recently as Technical Fellow\, she founded Cultural Keys LLC. She currently works with clients in many industries (e.g.\, medical\, consumer products\, insurance). Recent books include the award­-winning Transforming Culture (2014) and The Cultural Dimension of Global Business (2013)\, 8th ed. in preparation. \"

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: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:Lecture / Discussion:Department of Psychology Sameroff Lecture Series:  The Development of Human Reproductive Strategies:  Progress and Prospects
DESCRIPTION:An evolutionary biological perspective on the effects of the extra-familial and familial environment on multiple psychological\, behavioral and even somatic features of children’s development challenges prevailing thinking about human development which regards some contextual conditions and their sequelae as “good” and others as “bad”. Theory and research on the development of human reproductive strategies based on such evolutionary thinking has developed substantially over the past two decades. I review two decades of theory development and research findings pertaining to the development of reproductive strategies\, highlighting the contextual regulation of pubertal timing\, the distinctive role of father\, differential susceptibility to rearing influences\, mechanisms of influence\, new ways of conceptualizing the environment and thinking about long-term effects on health\, while outlining future directions for research.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:ISP Conference. After Alexander: Classical Texts in Arabic\, Persian\, and Armenian
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, translations between the classical languages – principally Greek\, Arabic and Latin – in the western Mediterranean have attracted robust scholarly attention. This conference aims to shift attention to a prequel to the late medieval translation movement in the west. The title suggests both a geography – east of the Mediterranean – and a historical arc\, late antique and medieval (or Umayyad and Abbasid). The conference will explore the entangled traditions of scientific and literary translation that flourished after Islamic expansion into territories once conquered by Alexander and ruled by the Sasanian Empire\, where Arabic\, Persian and Armenian intellectual and literary traditions encountered and responded to the heritage of the Greeks – and to each other.\n\nThis conference is presented in conjunction with the Classical Translation Contest - Classical Arabic\, Persian\, Armenian\, and Turkish. Open to all U-M undergraduate and graduate students. Winners of this contest will be invited to present their translations on April 18\, 2016 during the “After Alexander” conference. Submissions for the contest are due on Friday\, April 1\, 2016 by 5:00 PM to the Comparative Literature Main Office\, 2021 Tisch Hall (2nd floor). Visit http://lsa.umich.edu/contextsforclassics for details.\n\nSponsors: Islamic Studies Program\, Armenian Studies Program\, Center for European Studies\, Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Contexts for Classics\, Department of Classical Studies\, Department of Comparative Literature\, Department of Near Eastern Studies\, Institute for the Humanities\, Medieval and Early Modern Studies

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Set Valued Dynamic Treatment Regimes
DESCRIPTION:Dynamic Treatment Regimes (DTRs) are composed of sequences of decision rules\, one per stage of treatment. Each decision rule inputs patient information and outputs a single recommended treatment. While the majority of present studies focus on finding the optimal DTR\, we take another approach. Instead of trying to determine the true best DTR\, we aim to construct a set of DTRs such that the true best DTR is contained in this set with a desired probability. The reasons are as follows: (1) Usually we do not have enough data to identify the best DTR and (2) we want to give patients and clinicians more options. To discuss the second reason in more detail\, patients and clinicians might have treatment preferences related to cost\, side effects or convenience\, etc. Thus\, our goal is to provide a recommended set of DTRs\, such that the DTRs contained in the set are those we cannot distinguish from the best\, while the DTRs we exclude are those that are certain to be inferior with high condence. This idea comes from decision support: we do not tell patients and clinicians what to do\; we do not offer treatments known to be inferior. Rather we offer a set of treatments that excludes inferior treatments. In this thesis we develop a set valued DTR in which the decision rules at each stage can output a set of treatments. Second we develop an approach for constructing a recommended set of DTRs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CID Presents: Rebuilding Citizenship for the Twenty-first Century
DESCRIPTION:Citizen Interaction Design Presents:\n \n\"Rebuilding Citizenship for the Twenty-first Century\"\n\nGood governance now is intimately linked with digital\, and technology can reconnect people with their government\, Bracy believes. Citizens need to participate in this system of governance--at least at the local level--if they want to see an improvement in services.\n \n\"We don't have to just complain about what is broken in our communities\; we can use our skills to help fix it.”\n \nSpeaker Bio:\n\nCatherine Bracy is dedicated to bringing together local governments and technologists in a concerted effort to make better cities for everyone. She formerly served on Code for America's senior leadership team\, overseeing all public-facing programming. At Code for America\, she previously was the Director of Community Organizing\, responsible for Code for America's community network-building initiatives\, including the citizen volunteer program (the Brigade) and the international partnership program (Code for All).  \n \nUntil November 2012\, she was a product manager and director of the Obama campaign’s technology field office in San Francisco\, the first of its kind in American political history.  In that role she was responsible for organizing technologists to volunteer their skills to the campaign’s technology and digital efforts. Prior to joining the campaign\, she ran the Knight Foundation’s 2011 News Challenge and before that was the administrative director at Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society.  She also sits on the board of directors of the Citizen Engagement Lab and the Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kiefer Sutherland
DESCRIPTION:Kiefer Sutherland has been a professional actor for over 30 years\, starring in movies like \"Stand By Me\,\" \"The Lost Boys\,\" \"Young Guns.\" \"Flatliners\,\" \"A Few Good Men\,\" \"A Time to Kill\,\" \"Dark City\,\" \"Melancholia\,\" and most recently\, a western called \"Forsaken\,\" as well as the TV series \"24.\"\n\nBut unknown to many during the course of his career\, he has taken on other vocations with the same kind of dedication and commitment. The first one\, beginning around 1992\, was that of a cattle rancher and competitive cowboy (roper) in the USTRC team roping circuit. He ran a successful ranch with partner John English for almost a decade. During that timeframe\, Sutherland won numerous roping events around the country including Phoenix\, Indio and the Los Angeles Open.\n\nIn 2002\, Sutherland\, with his music partner and best friend Jude Cole\, began a small record label called Ironworks. The goal of this label was to record local musicians and distribute their music at a time when the music industry was going through a monumental shift. Some of their artists included Rocco DeLuca and the Burden\, HoneyHoney and Billy Boy On Poison. In 2009\, Sutherland left the label to recharge and figure out what he was going to do next.\n\nIn early 2015 Sutherland played Cole two songs he had written and wanted to record as demos for other artists to record. Cole responded positively to the songs and the album grew organically from those recordings. Two songs became four and four grew into six\, until Cole suggested that they make a record. Their collaboration resulted in Kiefer Sutherland’s upcoming debut album: \"Down In A Hole.\"\n\nSutherland says of the 11 tracks that make up the album\, “It’s the closest thing I’ve ever had to a journal or diary. All of these songs are pulled from my own personal experiences. There is something very satisfying about being able to look back on my own life\, good times and bad\, and express those sentiments in music. As much as I have enjoyed the writing and recording process\, I am experiencing great joy now being able to play these songs to a live audience\, which was something I hadn’t counted on.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:RC Deutsches Theater presents \"Unschuld\" (Innocence)
DESCRIPTION:Unschuld (Innocence) is a play that blurs the lines between reality\, memory\, and dreams of the future. The play weaves together several short stories about longing and guilt that bring together a group of unlikely characters. Elisio and Fadoul are two immigrants living illegally in Europe. After witnessing a woman drowning\, Elisio can’t sleep. His friend\, Fadoul\, discovers a bag full of money that could change their life. Enter Absolut\, a blind exotic dancer\, who takes a liking to Fadoul. Crazy (or is she?) Frau Habersatt\, a former librarian living on the edge\, begs forgiveness for acts she never committed. Franz has finally found employment and meaning in life\, caring for the dead.  His wife\, Rosa\, would like to have a child but Franz’ tendency to bring his work home with him and the fact that Rosa’s mother\, Frau Zucker\, a feisty communist with a colorful past\, has moved into their tiny apartment makes intimacy impossible.  Ella\, an aging philosopher\, has burned all of her publications with the exception of one:  The Unreliability of the World.  The President is ever-present in every household\, giving speeches that have nothing and everything to do with these characters’ lives.  This play is humorous\, touching\, sad\, poignant\, and absurd at the same time and it is a great introduction to one of Germany’s best playwrights writing today.
