SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Divided Images: Fiber
DESCRIPTION:Jill Ault is an Ann Arbor studio artist working in fiber\, primarily quilts\, with a BFA degree in painting from Eastern Michigan University. Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph\, a graphic design or a painting. She digitally prints variations of the image on fabric and divides the copies into many small squares (no two alike). When she carefully reassembles and sews together the squares\, parts of the image seem to move across and down the surface of the quilt. Ault exhibits nationally at fiber and quilt shows\, such as Quilt National in Athens\, Ohio and Fiberart International in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Florence Flood\, November 1966
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit focuses on the destruction of Florence during the flood on November 4\, 1966. Among the collections severely impacted by the muddy waters were those in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze. Book conservators from the United States and Western Europe were called in to help with the recovery efforts. The exhibit features a British team\, headed by Peter Waters\, which created a washing-drying-mending-rebinding system to deal with tens of thousands of books damaged by the disaster.\n\nThe two most important outcomes of the tragedy are the professional training of library conservators and the establishment of disaster preparedness and response programs.\n\nLearn more and register for the symposium\, The Flood in Florence\, 1966: A Fifty-Year Retrospective\, happening November 3-4\, 2016. https://www.lib.umich.edu/flood-florence-1966-fifty-year-retrospective

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Documenting Detroit - A Monts Hall Photo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Documenting Detroit is a collection of photographs taken by students from the College for Creative Studies during the 1970s and 1980s.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition. Invisible Women: Portraits of Aging in Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Photography by Ashley Bigham\, 2015-16 Walter B. Sanders Fellow\, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, U-M\; Watercolors by Grace Mahoney\, doctoral student in Slavic languages and literatures\, U-M.\n\nIn this exhibition\, artists Bigham and Mahoney investigate the visibility and social role of Ukraine’s older generation of women—embodied in a figure both iconic and ubiquitous\, the babusya. Seen in public transport\, in the market\, and on the street\, each babusya has a story to tell. Each has something to say\, something to gossip about\, and something to complain about. The current generation of Ukrainian grandmothers survived World War II\, the Holodomor\, and multiple repressions. They are also active in the present—although civic activism is often thought to be the province of the young\, many babusya joined in the actions of Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity in Kyiv and throughout the country. Now they witness the war in Eastern Ukraine. Many of them have lost their homes and some of them have lost their children or grandchildren. The generation called\, “The Children of War” are now seniors of war. \n    \nIn addition to their historic significance as a generation\, these women are present in the spheres of daily life throughout the country. Possibly overlooked in society\, these women are vibrant and active in the public spaces of contemporary Ukraine. Working in the open-air bazaars\, resting on public park benches\, or strolling through cemeteries\, these women stake their claim on the urban space—blending\, coalescing\, disappearing. This exhibit endeavors to tell the stories of these grannies. It’s an invitation to look closer\, to see the stories which are written on their faces – they are old and tired\, but not invisible. \n    \nAshley Bigham is a lecturer and the 2015-2016 Walter B. Sanders Fellow at the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. Prior to her appointment at Taubman College\, Ashley was a Fulbright Fellow in Lviv\, Ukraine\, researching and teaching at the Center of Urban History of East Central Europe. Bigham holds a Master of Architecture from Yale University and a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Tennessee. \n    \nGrace Mahoney is a Ph.D. student in Slavic Languages and Literatures. In 2014-15 she lived in Ukraine on a U.S. Student Fulbright fellowship and interned with the Revolution of Dignity Museum in Kyiv in summer 2016. She has Bachelor's degrees in Visual Art and English Literature from Seattle University. Her work from this show was originally shown in the exhibition Portraits of the Unlost at America House in Kyiv in summer 2015. \n    \nAn artists’ talk will be held from 4-5:30 pm on Friday\, September 23 in 1636 SSWB.\n\nExhibition sponsors: Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies\; A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning\; Women's Studies Department\; Department of Slavic Languages & Literatures

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Foreshadowing - Endangered and Threatened Plant Species
DESCRIPTION:A unique exhibit of botanical portraits that illuminates native and invasive plant species in a different light. Local artist and photographer Jane Kramer spent weeks exploring Michigan’s nature preserves and botanical gardens---including Matthaei---taking pictures of the shadows cast by native plant species. The shadow images were then transferred to handmade paper created from invasive plant species. For Kramer the shadows speak to the fragility of threatened plants and their struggle to survive in a changing environment that includes invasive species. The coupling of shadow and paper underscores the complex relationship between invasive and endangered plant species. Free admission. Open Wednesdays until 8 pm.

She is a graduate of the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris\,\nAmerican University (Washington)\, and Northern Kazakhstan State University.\n\nThe Kremlin’s crackdown on civil society\, media\, and the Internet took a more sinister turn in 2015 as the government further intensifi ed harassment and\npersecution of independent critics.

Against the backdrop of the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine and sanctions against Russia over Crimea\, anti-Western hysteria has been at its peak since the end of the Cold War.\n\nThis is the first in a six-lecture series. The subject is Russia – Unriddled\, The next lecture will be April 29\, entitled Internationalist Dreams and Nationalist Realities in the Soviet Union and its Successor States.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catie Newell: Overnight
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based architect Catie Newell’s work is focused on the tactile\, sensory qualities of the materials we use to build things: their texture\, density\, or malleability. Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Manuel Álvarez Bravo: Mexico’s Poet of Light
DESCRIPTION:Manuel Álvarez Bravo spent nearly his entire career photographing his native Mexico. His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mira Henry: The View Inside
DESCRIPTION:Before joining the faculty of the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles\, Mira Henry spent several years as a project architect\, immersed in the everyday\, banal details of how buildings get built: construction drawings\, material specs\, and building codes. She became an expert in seeing the world the way an architect sees it. But as a progressive architectural thinker\, Henry’s inspiration has been to deconstruct that vision\, to “unsee” the very forms and representations that constitute an architect’s basic language.\n\nThrough speculative experiments and conceptual drawings Henry discovers in static architectural details an unsettling range of figurative expression\, including\, for example\, the way the profiles of roof eaves resemble human heads. Wallpaper\, with its ability to mask\, transform\, or animate a space\, is also a prominent element in her work. Her projects explore how these features animate our subjective experience—what she calls our “shifting fantasies”—of architectural space.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink
DESCRIPTION:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink celebrates gifts to the museum from two accomplished scholars with eclectic interests\, a keen appreciation of form\, and a love of learning from objects. Nesta Spink\, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979\, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. This selection of their gifts\, exhibited together for the first time\, provides insight into the minds of two connoisseurs with tastes that range far beyond their areas of specialization\; highlights include exquisite Whistler prints that are rarely on display and a rich representation of South Asian folk art. The Connoisseurs’ Legacy also honors the Spinks’ long relationship with the museum\, their roles as teachers of future scholars and curators\, and their commitment to public education.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra
DESCRIPTION:This is the second of two talks on joint work of Tigran Ananyan and the speaker.  The main result is that there is a positive integer B(n\,d) such that given n forms F_i of positive degree at most d in a polynomial ring R  in N variables over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic 0 or greater than d (note that B = B(n\,d) does NOT depend on N)\, there exists a regular sequence of forms g_1\, ...\, g_h\, where h is at most B\, of degree at most d such that the F_i are in the ring K[g_1\, ...\, g_h].  This places the  F_i in a \"small\" polynomial subring of R over which R is faithfully flat (in fact\, free).  This implies Stillman's conjecture that the projective dimension of the ideal I  generated by the F_i is bounded independent of N    in the case where the characteristic is 0  or large:  it will be at most B(n\,d).  The authors had earlier shown this only up to degree 4.   One can also bound all numerical data about the primary decomposition of I independent of N.  The authors have also obtained these results for d = 2 and d = 3 with no restriction on the characteristic\, and in degree 4 except in characteristic 2.  Many open questions remain.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“Measuring Immigrant Integration”
DESCRIPTION:The talk proposes a standard measure of immigrant integration – i.e. the degree to which immigrants have the knowledge and the capacity to achieve success in their host society – that permits the comparison of immigrant communities over time and across contexts. To justify our measure\, we first show the costs for a research community when every study relies on its own specification of what constitutes successful integration. We then adumbrate the criteria for a successful measure. Once set\, we outline six dimensions of integration—psychological\, economic\, political\, social\, linguistic and navigational – each with a set of survey questions. With these questions\, we run pretests to determine the degree to which our questions meet our criteria for a good measure\, and to reduce our tool to six key questions that could be incorporated in all studies of integration at low cost. We report on the data we have so far collected and the issues they raise. However imperfect\, we foresee substantial payoffs for scientific progress of community “buy in” for our measure.\n \nBio:\nDavid D. Laitin is the James T. Watkins IV and Elise V.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nHow do labor market opportunities for men and women affect fertility decisions\, and do impacts differ by employment type? I study how jobs in the formal sector\, in manufacturing\, and at export-assembly plants (maquiladoras) in Mexico shape childbirth\, selection into fertility\, and the timing of births. I adopt two complementary identification strategies. The first strategy exploits exogenous shocks to local demand for male versus female labor using a shift-share index\, and the second uses establishment-level data from the universe of maquiladoras to construct an instrumental variable based on large expansions and contractions in plant employment. Results show that positive shocks in the short run to men's employment have large\, positive effects on fertility\, whereas positive shocks to women's employment have negligible impacts in the short run.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Physiographic factors control carbon distribution and biogeochemical cycling in a glaciated northern forest landscape
DESCRIPTION:Physiographic factors\, including parent material\, topography\, climate\, soils\, and hydrology\, are fundamental bottom-up controls on ecosystem functioning. These factors are inter-related\, and understanding their roles in shaping overarching\, integrative ecosystem functions such as carbon storage and biogeochemical cycling are crucial to appreciating the functioning of ecosystems at larger scales (e.g.\, watersheds to landscapes). At UMBS\, a rich ecosystem classification framework makes it possible to place studies of carbon cycling and biogeochemistry in a larger spatial and conceptual realm. I will offer results and synthesis from several UMBS-based projects aimed at understanding C cycling and biogeochemical processes in soils and vegetation\, focusing on three key findings: 1) Physiographic factors explain the spatial distribution of carbon stocks across the landscape\; 2) Pedogenic pathways control the fate of the largest carbon stocks on the landscape\; 3) Groundwater is the most important physical force shaping soil development\, carbon distribution and biogeochemical cycling on the landscape.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: “The Spirit of Speculation: John Law and Economic Theology in the Age of Lights”
DESCRIPTION:Professor Coleman's lecture traces the surprising influence of sacramental theology on the reception of John Law’s efforts to reform public finances and colonial trade in France. Allusions to the mysteries of transubstantiation and transmutation abounded in cultural productions of the period\, which depict Law’s new banknotes and company shares as giving rise to unimaginable riches seemingly overnight. Professor Coleman will argue that a Eucharistic-alchemical complex lent itself not only to describing the function of these instruments\, but also to rendering intelligible their myriad effects on private and public affairs. The spiritual desideratum of inexhaustibility underwrote popular participation in Law’s system\, which demanded that French subjects invest themselves with abandon in the dream of limitless accumulation.\n\nCharly Coleman is an assistant professor of history at Columbia University\, where he teaches courses on early modern and modern Europe\, as well as in the Core Curriculum. He received his PhD in history at Stanford University. Before coming to Columbia\, he taught at the University of Chicago and Washington University in St. Louis. Coleman specializes in the history of 18th-century France\, with a particular emphasis on the intersections between religion and Enlightenment thought. His first book\, The Virtues of Abandon (Stanford University Press\, 2014\; awarded the 2016 Laurence Wylie Prize in French Cultural Studies)\, fundamentally recasts the French Enlightenment as a protracted struggle to fix the self’s relationship to property in its myriad forms. In so doing\, it uncovers a wide-ranging\, coherent\, and influential culture of dispossession\, the partisans of which fought to strip the self of its property\, its personality\, and even its very existence as an individual. Coleman has further elaborated the stakes of this anti-individualist history of the period in a series of articles and book chapters\, including pieces for The Journal of Modern History and The Cambridge Companion to the French Enlightenment. His most recent research has turned to the crucial role played by economic theology during the long 18th century in France\, with an eye to revealing a distinctly Catholic ethic that animated the spirit of capitalism at its inception.\n \nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis event 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:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Leadership Cyberinfrastructure for Science and the Humanities
DESCRIPTION:(Note different date and location)\n\nIn the past two decades high energy physics transformed its computing model from one relying on a single high performance computing center at the host laboratory to one incorporating resources distributed across institutional boundaries and geographic regions. Given the complexity of detectors and scale of data\, the international collaborations of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN demanded it. By removing barriers to resource sharing\, the resulting data and computation platform democratized the physics process across collaborations. Accelerated modes of scientific discovery by thousands of physicists were forged using hundreds of data centers linked by very high bandwidth networks. Meanwhile the explosion of commercial\, social and enterprise data has driven innovation in resource abstraction and the creation of new service platforms\, offering fresh opportunities to accelerate science and intellectual inquiry at all scales and across all domains. In this talk I’ll discuss the strategic significance that cyberinfrastructure technology plays in this regard and describe models for creating ubiquitous “substrates” that remove obstacles to connecting campuses\, facilities\, instruments and researchers. \n\nBio: Robert Gardner is a Senior Scientist at the Computation Institute from the University of Chicago\, and a Senior Scientist in the Enrico Fermi Institute. He spent his early academic career doing experimental high-energy physics research at different universities in the Midwest. He has been a member of the ATLAS experiment using the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN Laboratory\, Geneva\, Switzerland since 1998. His experimental work led him to specialize in developing and improving distributed computing technologies necessary for discoveries at the frontier of particle physics. He was instrumental in developing early research computing grids in the U.S.: the International Virtual Data Grid Laboratory (iVDGL)\, and the first deployment of the Open Science Grid (OSG) (NSF\, Department of Energy). He have also generated systems for metrics collection for distributed systems (Grid Telemetry\, PI\, NSF-ITR). Currently\, he directs the ATLAS Midwest Tier2 Center\, which is comprised of integrated computing facilities from the University of Chicago\, Indiana University\, and the University of Illinois.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Logic
DESCRIPTION:An equivalence relation E is hypersmooth (hyperfinite) if E is the union of an increasing sequence of smooth (finite) Borel equivalence relations.  In the mid 80s\, Weiss proved that the equivalence relation generated by a finite family of commuting Borel automorphisms is hyperfinite\, and in the mid 90s\, Dougherty\, Jackson\, and Kechris proved that the equivalence relation generated by a single Borel endomorphism is hypersmooth.  We will generalize both results to show that the equivalence relation generated by a finite family of commuting Borel endomorphisms is hypersmooth.  As is typical in this area\, the proof will involve the construction of a suitable family of Borel marker sets.  This talk will be part 1 of 2. Speaker(s): Scott Schneider (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Peggy McCracken\, Domna C. Stanton Collegiate Professor of French\, Women's Studies\, and Comparative Literature Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:There are many stories about wildmen in medieval Europe\, and in this lecture I focus on one particularly strange example from fourteenth-century France. Tristan de Nanteuil recounts the story of a foundling raised by animals in the forest\, but describes the forest as a place of organized social relations among the animals and the child\, and even imagines that they share a symbolic kinship. The wild boy discovers his human identity in a series of encounters with gendered bodies\, and ultimately leaves animal society to take his place in a noble human lineage. In its representations of animality and gendered embodiment\, this fictional text offers a perspective on what it means to be human\, even as it questions the categories through which human distinction is commonly defined.

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:LatinX Heritage Month
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15\, by celebrating the histories\, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain\, Mexico\, the Caribbean\, and Central and South America.\n\nThe observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson\, and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17\, 1988\, on the approval of Public Law 100-402.\n\nThe day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica\, El Salvador\, Guatemala\, Honduras\, and Nicaragua. In addition\, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18\, respectively. Also\, Columbus Day\, or Día de la Raza\, which is October 12\, falls within this 30 day period.\n\nYou may remember this month referred to as Latino/a\, Latin@\, or LatinX Heritage month in the past.  In an attempt to be more inclusive\, the committee decided this year to update the name outside of a gender binary.  \n\nPlease join us for some festivities and celebrate the LatinX community over free food.

SUMMARY:Performance:Fred Eaglesmith Traveling Steam Show
DESCRIPTION:Fred Eaglesmith is Ontario's roots-country original! There are other songwriters who populate their creations with small-time crooks\, small-town loners\, and working-class heroes. But Fred Eaglesmith's songs stand out for their edge of desperation and their raucous yet bemused humor—and for the incredible energy and on-the-edge quality of his live shows. Circulating on tour from his Ontario farm\, Fred harks back to an earlier era of roots music with his raw\, driving country soul. Best of all\, Fred's 20th album\, \"Tambourine\,\" draws on the spirit of pure 1960s rock and roll. He comes to town with his band The Traveling Steam Show\, which has lately jelled as a unit to a degree reminiscent of his legendary band of yore\, The Flying Squirrels.
