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:Conference / Symposium:CSAS Sound and South Asia Conference
DESCRIPTION:Please be aware that day two of this conference (October 8) meets at the U-M Ross School of Business\, Room 1240.\n\nThe Center for South Asian Studies (CSAS) is pleased to announce that we will be holding an international conference on “Sound and South Asia” in October 2016. Whereas the study of what we hear has conventionally been reserved for the medical specialist\, the acoustic engineer\, and the ethnomusicologist\, in recent years the life of sounds – from the most refined of classical music to the most irritating of street noises – has become a topic for disciplines as diverse as history\, law\, economics\, performance studies\, film studies. Sound studies\, now a burgeoning field\, has often focused on Europe and the United States\, leaving regions such as the Indian subcontinent outside of its purview\, while within South Asian studies\, the aural has arguably been neglected as an analytic\, in comparison to the rich and diverse scholarship on the visual. This conference\, drawing on recent developments in both sound studies and South Asian studies\, seeks to remedy this relative absence by engaging scholars across these fields.\n\nThis two-day conference will bring together scholars from India and the United States to explore and answer several interrelated questions. How does sound become a commodity in South Asia\, whether through its purchase in music stores or through its theft in digital arenas? How do the instruments through which we receive sound\, from seemingly optional technologies like the radio to expensive medical technologies like the hearing aid\, shape our understandings of the social worlds that we inhabit? What might we learn from studying sound in performance contexts that are not solely focused on music\, such as the Urdu poetry recitation known as the mushaira or the Tamilian dance forms of sadir and bharatanatyam? And might South Asian film and moving image media\, with their distinctive song-and-dance traditions\, provide a distinctively subcontinental ideal for the use of sound? In keeping with these guiding questions\, the conference is organized around four major themes: instruments of sound\; sound in performance\; sonic commodities\; and the sound of images.\n\nWe look forward to welcoming Jayson Beaster-Jones (University of California\, Merced)\, Corey Creekmur (University of Iowa)\, Vebhuti Duggal (Sarai-CSDS\, India)\, Michele Friedner (Stony Brook University)\, Linda Hess (Stanford University)\, Isabel Huacuja Alonso (California State University\, San Bernardino)\, Neepa Majumdar (University of Pittsburgh)\, Madhuja Mukherjee (Jadavpur University\, India)\, Davesh Soneji (University of Pennsylvania)\, Pavitra Sundar (Hamilton College)\, Nathan Tabor (Western Michigan University)\, and Amanda Weidman (Bryn Mawr College).\n\nThis conference was made possible by generous support from Ranvir and Adarsh Trehan and the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\, with additional support from the: School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\; Departments of Communication Studies\, History\, English Language and Literature\, and Screen Arts and Cultures\; the Global Media Studies Initiative\; and U-M Initiative on Disability Studies.\n\nA schedule and a list of speakers are available here: http://ii.umich.edu/csas/news-events/events/conferences.html

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Capitalism-Catholicism-Colonialism Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (1904)\, Max Weber famously argued that the inner rationality of capitalist accumulation first emerged during the Protestant Reformation in the form of the Puritan concept of the “calling” and an associated sensibility of worldly asceticism. For Weber\, Catholicism was too affiliated with spiritual transcendence to give rise to a capitalist subject\, fully dedicated to the mundane labors of everyday life. Immediately controversial yet powerful even today\, this thesis has long impacted scholarship and debate about the history of capitalism. But it has tended to relegate Spain and its empire to capitalism’s temporal “pre-history” or spatial “outside\,” chalking the activities of the colonizers up to little more than the self-evidently non-modern auri sacra fames (greed for gold) that Columbus so clearly displayed in his writings.\n\nTaking Weber’s work and legacy as a point of departure\, this one-day\, interdisciplinary workshop aims to explore the intersections of Capitalism\, Catholicism\, and Colonialism in the early modern Iberian world. Topics could include\, but are not limited to\, scholasticism and value\; commerce\, communication\, and conversion\; austerity and asceticism\; spiritual capital\; evangelization and accounting\; religion\, blood\, and race\; violent vs. peaceful evangelization and primitive accumulation\; secularism and the Jesuits\; fetishism of relics and commodities\; the labor theory of value and the School of Salamanca\; and usury and finance.

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.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Coloring Who We Are
DESCRIPTION:The coloring movement appeals to people of all ages\, but coloring books available to buy are often quite expensive and promote stereotypes. It is hard to find coloring pages that reflect real people's lives\, especially for lives of people of color\, with a disability\, or other kinds of differences. There are online coloring pages available for free\, but many of those are on websites which install viruses on the computers or which try to steal passwords. In this hands-on workshop\, we'll provide some coloring pages that are a bit different from usual\, and also touch on how to find free coloring pages that are safe to download and use\, and how to make your own simple coloring pages with free online tools.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Friends VS. Enemies: Diplomacy Documentary\, Espionage Film\, and the Persistence of Class in Cold War China
DESCRIPTION:This talk draws from both documentary films consolidating international friendships and espionage films uncovering hidden enemies to situate cinema at the center of manufacturing class visibility and certainty in a Cold War environment where identities and alliances were in constant flux. Flourishing in the 1950s and early 1960s\, espionage films mapped class differences onto bodily practices\, sensorial experiences and the urban space\, just when political and economic changes had gradually eliminated the foundations of class politics. The persistence of the spectre of class in China’s socialist space\, then\, must be read in relation to Cold War anxieties of national security and anti-revolutionary infiltration. Indeed\, as the Sino-Soviet brotherhood and Sino-Indonesian honeymoon\, both celebrated on screen\, ended in deepened international hostility and China’s ideological hardening\, we see a triple crisis of domestic politics\, international relations and visual representation. Diplomacy documentary descended into compulsive repetition and hysterical excess to bolster new screen friendships\, for example\, that with Albania. Viewing positions from espionage films were applied to real-life political struggles\, most telling in using documentary “evidence” to incriminate Liu Shaoqi and Wang Guangmei for their alleged defection. Moving between documentary and fiction\, domestic class politics and Cold War geopolitics\, this talk attempts to think through the persistence and hardening of the notion of class in a socialist China through the central mediation of cinema.Through textual analysis and historical investigation\, this paper argues that cinema’s power in the PRC had deep connections to the country’s spiritual traditions\, displacing and re-assembling it to create a new society.\n\n*Image: Wang Guangmei in Indonesia

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Will Styler will be discussion \"Modeling Human Speech Perception Using Machine Learning.\"\n\nAbstract\nOne struggle in identifying the acoustic cues used in speech perception is the near infinite number of possible features usable by humans. Here we describe a more efficient\, machine-learning-based alternative. Acoustic measurements of 29 features were used to train a Support Vector Machine\, allowing the classification of English vowels as “oral” or “nasalized”. The best-performing features were then tested using modified experimental stimuli with human listeners. The SVM model and human listeners showed similar patterns of confusion and perception\, suggesting that SVMs can be used to predict the utility of different features for human perception.

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:Applied Interdisciplinary Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:Lorentz force impedance tomography\, also known as the Magneto-Acousto-Electric Tomography (MAET)\, is a novel hybrid modality that represents a stable\, high-resolution alternative to the Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT).  As EIT\, MAET aims at imaging of the non-uniform conductivity inside an object. To this end\, the object is placed in a magnetic field and subjected to ultrasound waves. As a result\, Lorentz force generates currents that can be measured outside of the object.  After a short theoretical introduction into MAET\, I will present the design of a simplified 2D MAET scanner we have built\, and will discuss new mathematical problems associated with this device\, and the methods that can be used to solve them.  This is joint work with R.S. Witte and C.P. Ingram. Speaker(s): Leonid Kunyansky (University of Arizona)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry
DESCRIPTION:Guiradel generalized the notion of geometric intersection number between curves on on a surface to any pair of G–trees\; associated to a pair of G–trees\, he constructed a closed\, 2–dimensional finite CAT(0) cube complex with boundaries whose volume represents the intersection number between the two trees. If the trees are duals to sphere systems one can give a description of the core using the intersection patterns of spheres. We investigate how the core changes along a surgery sequence. We then use this to show that forward and backward surgery paths have a Hausdorff distance of at most 4 in the sphere graph. Speaker(s): Yulan Qing (Toronto)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminar | Holographic Complexity\, Randomness\, and the Butterfly Effect
DESCRIPTION:Motivated by black hole physics\, we study the relationship between quantum chaos\, holographic complexity\, and pseudo randomness. First\, we develop a diagnostic of quantum chaos by directly considering the time evolution of a simple local operator. This leads us to out-of-time-order correlation functions as a natural measure of quantum chaos. We explain how such correlators are natural probes of the black hole interior in holography. Using tools from quantum information\, we use a generalization of these correlators to develop a lower bound on the computational complexity of an ensemble of unitary operators. Finally\, we introduce a conjecture that the quantum complexity of a holographic state is dual to the space-time action of the black hole interior.

At a conference in his honor\, a select group of historians\, anthropologists\, and political scientists from across the globe will assemble to speak on topics that he has pioneered. Regional and topical sessions will address nationhood and identity in late imperial and Soviet history\; Marxism\; empire in Russia and elsewhere\; and genocide. Intellectually adventurous and ready to delve into new theoretical literatures\, Professor Suny has enriched and inspired research in all of these disparate areas. The panelists all draw on his ground-breaking work on constructed nationhood\, the tensions and synergies between imperial and national formations\, and the critically important contribution of emotion to political life\, both positive and\, in the case of genocide\, deadly.\n\nTo register for the conference and access the pre-circulated papers\, please contact Krista Goff (kgoff@miami.edu).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Sources and Reactivity of Terrestrial Organic Carbon to the Colville River Delta\, Beaufort Sea\, Alaska
DESCRIPTION:Terrestrial particulate organic carbon (tPOC) delivery to nearshore deltaic regions is an important mechanism of OC storage and burial\, and continental margins worldwide account for approximately 90% of the carbon burial in the ocean. Increasing warming in the Arctic is leading to an acceleration of the hydrologic cycle\, warming of permafrost\, and broad shifts in vegetation. All of these changes are likely to affect the delivery\, reactivity\, and burial of tPOC in nearshore Arctic regions\, making the Arctic an ideal place to study the effects of climate change on tPOC delivery. However\, to date\, most studies of tPOC delivery from North America to the Arctic Ocean have focused on large Arctic rivers like the Mackenzie and Yukon\, and a significant portion of those watersheds lie in sub-Arctic latitudes\, meaning that their tPOC delivery is likely not uniquely representative of the high Arctic tundra. Here\, we focus on tPOC delivery by the Colville River\, the largest North American river with a watershed that does not include sub-Arctic latitudes. Water column particulates and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) samples\, surface sediment samples\, and long cores from the river delta and nearby Simpson’s Lagoon were taken in multiple field campaigns from 2010 – 2015. Results from bulk and compound specific OC analyses show that tPOC delivery near the river mouth is sourced from coastal plain tundra\, with additional delivery of tPOC from peat released into the lagoon from the seaward limit of the tundra by coastal erosion\, and a clear differentiation between tPOC delivered by the river and tPOC delivered by coastal retreat in the lagoon. Additionally\, a significant portion of the OC released by the Colville River is relatively thermochemically reactive and sourced from Pleistocene-aged yedoma-like deposits\, and could contribute to increased OC mineralization in the Beaufort shelf.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Dominance Principle in Epistemic Decision Theory
DESCRIPTION:https://philosophy.stanford.edu/people/rachael-briggs\n\nAccording to the Dominance Principle\, one should not choose a dominated act--one that yields a worse outcome than some other act no matter what the state of the world.  Similarly\, many epistemic decision theorists hold an Epistemic Dominance Principle\, which says that one should not adopt a dominated belief state --one that is less accurate than some other belief state no matter what the state of the world.  The Epistemic Dominance Principle is useful for vindicating probabilism.\n\nRecently\, authors like Michael Caie and Richard Pettigrew have raised doubts about the epistemic version of the Dominance Principle.  They argue that where a dominating belief state is unavailable or unchoiceworthy (in the right way)\, it cannot give us sufficient reason to reject the belief state it dominates.  \n\nI argue that the correct response to these challenges is to break the Dominance Principle into two parts: one that connects dominance to value comparisons\, and another that connects value comparisons to choices.  According this response\, domination by an unavailable belief state is not a sufficient reason to reject a belief state\, but domination by an unchoiceworthy belief state sometimes is.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combinatorics
DESCRIPTION:We investigate whether surface cluster algebras have positive canonical bases\, natural linear bases for which the structure constants for multiplication are all positive. There are three natural bases we consider. We restrict to the subalgebra spanned by closed loops. (In particular\, this subalgebra does not contain the cluster variables\, which correspond to arcs.) On this subalgebra\, which is also the skein algebra of the surface\, one of the bases (the bangles basis) is almost never positive and another basis (the bracelets basis) is always positive.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biophysics Seminar:  Jeanne C. Stachowiak\, University of Texas at Austin
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nMembrane traffic\, an essential cellular process that plays a role in many human diseases\, requires key biophysical steps including formation of membrane buds\, loading of these buds with specific molecular cargo\, separation from the parent membrane\, and fusion with the target membrane. The prevailing view has been that structured protein motifs such as wedge-like amphipathic helices\, crescent-shaped BAR domains\, curved coats and constricting dynamin rings drive these processes. However\, many proteins that contain these structural motifs also contain large intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) domains of 300-1500 amino acids\, including most clathrin and COPII coat components. While these IDP domains have been regarded primarily as flexible biochemical scaffolds\, we have recently discovered that IDPs are highly efficient physical drivers of membrane budding. Further\, our work demonstrates that IDP domains serve as strong drivers of membrane fission. How can molecules without a defined structure drive membrane budding and fission? Our results support the idea that disordered domains generate entropic pressure at membrane surfaces\, which is critical to overcoming key biophysical barriers to membrane traffic. IDPs are particularly efficient generators of entropic pressure owing to their very large hydrodynamic radii\, potential for electrostatic repulsion owing to high net charge\, and the substantial entropic cost of extending them. More broadly our findings suggest that any protein\, regardless of structure\, can contribute to membrane remodeling by increasing entropic pressure\, and paradoxically\, that proteins that lack a defined secondary structure\, IDPs\, may be among the most potent drivers of membrane traffic. Our ongoing work focuses on understanding how entropic pressure influences membrane traffic\, and designing biophysical tools for manipulating receptor recycling and signaling.

In this hands-on workshop\, we'll touch on these issues\, share some examples and free samples which are more diverse and inclusive (including service dog coloring pages!)\, and demonstrate how to make your OWN coloring pages from your own photos with free online tools and apps.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Data Science Seminar: Gary King\, Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:The Michigan Institute for Data Science is proud to present a talk by Gary King\, the Albert J. Weatherhead III University Professor at Harvard University. King is the director of the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard.\n\nAbstract: The spectacular progress the media describes as “big data” has little to do with the data.  Data\, after all\, is becoming commoditized\, less expensive\, and an automatic byproduct of other changes in organizations and society. More data alone doesn’t generate insights\; it often merely makes data analysis harder. The real revolution isn’t about the data\, it is about the stunning progress in the statistical and other methods of extracting insights from the data. I illustrate these points with a wide range of examples from research I’ve participated in\, including forecasting the solvency of Social Security\; reverse engineering Chinese government censorship and fabrication of social media posts\; how the same methods can estimate the causes of death in developing countries and understand billions of social media posts\; an educational innovation that guarantee that students will do the reading\; among others.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Karen Emmorey Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThe study of sign languages provides a powerful tool for investigating the neurobiology of human language. Signed languages differ dramatically from spoken languages with respect to linguistic articulators and perceptual systems required for comprehension. I explore whether key brain areas identified for processing spoken language are also critical for the comprehension and production of sign languages. In addition\, my work investigates domains where language interfaces with other cognitive systems\, specifically motion processing\, spatial cognition\, and action generation. The study of sign languages provides a unique window into the factors that do and do not influence the neural organization for language. As we begin to uncover the new biology of language\, moving beyond the classic brain regions of Broca and Wernicke\, investigations of sign language will help characterize and identify the neural architecture that supports the human language faculty.\n\nKaren Emmorey is a Professor of Speech Language at San Diego State University

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Carrigan Lecture Series in Music Theory: Frank Samarotto
DESCRIPTION:Do music theories really become outmoded? If not\, what use is to be made of them? This talk will begin by briefly considering the “outmodedness” of scientific theories—sometimes paradoxical—and then contrast that with the situation of music theory.  Keeping some salutary cautions in mind\, I will recount some past uses of older music theories\, good and bad\, in order to consider which uses are foundationally legitimate. With this as preface I will then turn to a perspective that permeated theoretical language of the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, that known as energetics. In current thinking\, energetics is downplayed as vague and ungrounded\, but I will argue that concepts we associate with Kurth are indispensable to Schenkerian analysis and even to Riemann’s metric analysis. This will be extensively demonstrated in a close reading of that most energetic work\, the first movement of Brahms’s Third Symphony.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Mohler Prize Public Lecture: \"Hot Gas in Clusters of Galaxies\, Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation and Cosmology\"
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered how we learn about our expanding Universe when it was young?  Hear about this from one of the greatest astrophysicists of our time\, Rashid Sunyaev\, who will be giving the Mohler Prize lecture on Friday\, October 7 at 7pm.  Professor Sunyaev will speak about the Cosmic Microwave Background and the event that led to its creation long before any stars or planets had formed. Through the  Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)\, we see tiny variations in the density of the universe that collapses under gravity to form the familiar galaxies and solar systems of today.  The CMB also reveals the amounts of dark energy\, dark matter\, normal matter that comprise our Universe and dictate its evolution and future. \n\nRashid Sunyaev is one of the most distinguished theoretical astrophysicist\, with groundbreaking work in high energy astrophysics and physical cosmology.  He has made many contribution in the study of the cosmic microwave background radiation\, including predictions of variations in the background due to oscillations and to the distortion of the background light through the hot gas in clusters of galaxies (the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect).  Predicted well ahead of their discoveries\, these have become central fields in modern astrophysics.  Another major contribution is his work with Shakura on the accretion disk of gas around black holes and neutron stars\, which is the cornerstone for understanding the environment and feeding of these exotic objects.\n\nIn addition to his theoretical work\, Professor Sunyaev has been deeply involved in a number of Soviet space missions: RELIKT\, which measured variations in the Cosmic Microwave Background (1980s)\; he led the team that operated an X-ray observatory on the Mir space station\; he was a principal in the GRANAT orbiting X-ray telescope\; and he is leading a team to launch the Spectrum-X-Gamma International Astrophysical Project in 2017. \n\nProfessor Sunyaev was won 14 major prizes or distinguished awards\, including the Heineman Prize (2003)\, the Crafoord Prize (2008)\, and the Kyoto Prize (2011)\; the earliest being the Bruno Rossi Prize of High Energy Astrophysical Division of the American Astronomical Society in 1988.  In addition to being a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences\, he is a member of five other distinguished (exclusive) societies.\n\nOriginally from Tashkent\, Uzbekistan\, he was educated at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (PhD in 1968)\, where he became a professor (1975) and held a position at the Moscow Institute of Applied Mathematics\, along with being the head of the Laboratory for Theoretical Astrophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (1973-1982).  More recently\, he holds several positions\, including Professor at the Institute of Physics and Technology in Moscow\, head of the High-Energy Astrophysics Dept. of the Institute for Space Research in Moscow (since 2002\; Chief Scientist since 1992)\, and Director and Scientific Member at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching\, Germany (since 1996). \n\nThe Orren C. Mohler Prize was established by the Department of Astronomy in 1986 and is awarded for excellence in research in astronomy and astrophysics.
