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.

The city is literally sinking while also experiencing climate change related sea-level rise. Add to that the yearly heavy rainfall the city sees from the Southeast Asian monsoon and a population that has swelled beyond ten million due to rapid urbanization\, and it’s easy to see why Jakarta’s infrastructure is experiencing significant strain. Jakarta isn’t an isolated example of this perfect storm. It represents the future difficulty that coastal cities all over the world are likely to face.\n\nUnderstanding that lessons learned in Jakarta can have a global impact\, University of Michigan alumus Frank Sedlar set out to help with flood mitigation in Jakarta. Frank earned his master of science degree from Michigan Engineering and also studied the Indonesian language while at the university. Photojournalist and filmmaker Marcin Szczepanski and writer Ben Logan from Michigan Engineering chronicled Frank’s experience while in Jakarta working on modern solutions to Jakarta’s growing problem.\n\nPlease join us for an opening reception on Friday\, October 21 at 5 PM at the International Institute Gallery.

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 UID:33962-4826157@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33962 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, 2nd Floor Hatcher CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161017T140453 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161019T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161019T100000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Causal Inference in Education Research Seminar (CIERS) DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nConcerns over growing student loan debt\, delinquency\, and defaults have stimulated proposals to develop and expand income-driven repayment (IDR) plans that link loan payments to borrowers’ earnings. In this project\, we investigate the factors that affect students’ loan repayment choices. We test how the framing of the two key features that distinguish income-driven schemes – protection from unaffordable loan payments in periods of low earnings versus potentially higher costs over the life of the loan – affects empirical measures of adverse selection. In a survey of University of Maryland undergraduates\, we elicit students’ expectations of future labor market outcomes and preferences for income-driven repayment by presenting students with scenarios in which both the percentage of income that payments represent and the framing of the alternative plan are randomly assigned. Consistent with adverse selection\, students who expect to have better labor market outcomes are less likely to prefer IDR. We also find a strong relationship between the framing of IDR and students preferences\, with students significantly more likely to report preferring IDR when the insurance aspect of the plan is emphasized and less likely to prefer IDR when the length of repayment and total interest paid are highlighted.

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 UID:44929-10012290@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160922T122934 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161019T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161019T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Urban Entrepreneurship Symposium DESCRIPTION:The Urban Entrepreneurship Symposium convenes entrepreneurs and thought leaders in business\, academia\, community organizations\, and government to facilitate business innovation that improves the quality of life in urban communities.

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.

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.

They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G.

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 UID:30043-3321502@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Photography Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161005T142852 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161019T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161019T133000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Bending Not Breaking: Crimean Tatar Resilience in Ukraine and Russian-occupied Crimea DESCRIPTION:Based on ethnographic fieldwork in 2015 and 2016\, this presentation explores the lived experience of Crimean Tatars in Ukraine\, including Russian-occupied Crimea. While Ukraine has passed legislation recognizing the Crimean Tatars as an indigenous people\, the Russian Federation rejects the validity of this status and clings to the minority label. There is a correspondingly sharp difference in the treatment the group has received in territory controlled by Ukraine and Russian Federation. On the Ukrainian side\, a sense of political agency animates discourses of a common civic\, as opposed to ethnic Ukrainian identity. On the Russian side\, forced disappearances\, searches\, detentions\, beatings\, and surveillance suggest the genocidal policies begun by the Russian Empire in the eighteenth century continue. The common denominator under the sharp contrast is that neither government has truly defended the rights of the indigenous people. On both sides\, creativity and resilience developed over three tumultuous centuries is evident among the Crimean Tatar people. \n \nGreta Uehling received her Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from the University of Michigan in 2000. In 2004\, she completed a post-doctoral fellowship with the Solomon Asch Center for the Study of Ethnopolitical Conflict. Her first book\, Beyond Memory (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2004)\, provides the first comprehensive study of the Crimean Tatars’ 1944 deportation\, and explores how memory and history facilitated repatriation to the historic homeland. Uehling is also the author of scholarly articles\, book chapters\, and blogs. Her 2013 fieldwork yielded “Genocide’s Aftermath: Neostalinism in Contemporary Crimea.” Uehling has contributed online articles to Cultural Anthropology\, Anthropology News\, Euromaidan Press\, The Conversation\, Antropoliteia\, Dissident\, and Savage Minds. A number of international organizations\, including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees\, have drawn upon Uehling’s expertise. In 2015\, she was awarded a Fulbright scholar grant. Uehling currently teaches in the Program in International and Comparative Studies and is also a faculty associate of U-M’s Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies. \n \nPart of the Minorities series which will focus on the fates and challenges various minorities face\, from ethnic and racial groups to people with disabilities and members of LGBT communities. How do different political regimes come to define groups as minorities\, and how do they engage with them as a result? What can the experience of minorities in the other parts of the world teach us?

BMS) and infrared physics (eg. Weinberg's soft graviton theorem). One of the more exciting explorations in this vein was Hawking-Perry-Strominger's (HPS) investigation of the consequences of these new symmetries for black hole physics. I will show very concretely that the Ward identity for the BMS-like large U(1) gauge transformations discussed by HPS fixes the low energy black hole absorption rate for photons. Time permitting\, I will discuss broader implications and future extensions.

In recent years\, we have been developing and testing an alternative theoretical framework\, one that incorporates insights from life history theory into an affordance-management approach to social perception. Among other contributions\, this functional framework (1) provides a compelling account for why age and sex are core dimensions upon which stereotypes are built\; (2) introduces the idea of ‘ecology’ stereotypes (i.e.\, stereotypes about people who come from ‘desperate’ versus ‘hopeful’ ecologies)\; (3) emphasizes that the intersections of age\, sex\, and ecology better characterize the content of people’s naturally-existing stereotypes\; (4) predicts that natural stereotypes represent not general trait inclinations (e.g.\, young men are competitive) but rather behavioral inclinations as directed towards particular types of others (e.g.\, young men are competitive against young men)\; (5) suggests that\, at least in the U.S.\, many of the most pernicious race stereotypes are more usefully conceptualized in terms of ecology than of race\, per se\; (6) suggests the importance of differentiating between “base” and “affordance” stereotypes for predicting prejudices and discrimination\; and (7) suggests why certain social stereotypes are simultaneously as accurate as they are and biased in the particular directions they are.

Evidence is emerging that such networks can exhibit rich mechanical phase behavior. A classic example of a mechanical phase transition was identified by Maxwell for macroscopic engineering structures: networks of struts or springs exhibit a continuous\, second-order phase transition at the isostatic point\, where the number of constraints imposed by connectivity just equals the number of mechanical degrees of freedom. We will present recent theoretical predictions and experimental evidence for mechanical phase transitions in in both synthetic and biopolymer networks. Living systems typically operate far from thermodynamic equilibrium\, which affects both their dynamics and mechanical response. As a result of enzymatic activity at the molecular scale\, living systems characteristically violate detailed balance\, a fundamental principle of equilibrium statistical mechanics. We discuss violations of detailed balance at the meso-scale of whole cells.

Automated text analysis methods are able to discover features of text\, but these methods cannot be used to obtain the estimates of causal effects—the quantity of interest for applied researchers. We introduce a new experimental design and statistical model to simultaneously discover treatments in a corpora and estimate causal effects for these discovered treatments. We prove the conditions to identify the treatment effects of texts and introduce the supervised Indian Buffet process to discover those treatments. Our method enables us to discover treatments in a training set using a collection of texts and individuals’ responses to those texts\, and then estimate the effects of these interventions in a test set of new texts and survey respondents. We apply the model to an experiment about candidate biographies\, recovering intuitive features of voters’ decisions and revealing a penalty for lawyers and a bonus for military service.

The focus of this group will be on the transition of retirement and the challenges that come with it -- from questions like \"How will I define myself?\" to “How will I establish priorities and spend my time?”\n\nThe series will help you plan for the non-financial aspects of retirement\, such as redefining who you are\, revisiting what is most important to you\, exploring new interests and opportunities\, and maintaining social connections. You will also learn about what researchers find makes for a fulfilling retirement.\n \nThis series has the capacity for 14 participants\, and is open to all U-M staff\, faculty and students\, as well as the general public.

More generally\, Dal'bo and Kim showed that a Zariski dense representation of a group into a simple Lie group G is determined\, up to automorphisms of G\, by the lengths of the images of all its elements. We will discuss this result and a recent result of Bridgeman\, Canary\, and Labourie that a representation of a surface group into PSL(3\,R) in the Hitchin component of holonomies of convex projective surfaces is determined up to conjugacy by the length of images of simple closed curves.

Starting from dimension 2\, the anti-canonical volume of a Q-Fano variety can be arbitrarily large\, e.g. weighted projective spaces. Recently\, Fujita showed that an n-dimensional Kahler-Einstein Q-Fano variety has volume at most (n+1)^n. In this talk\, I will discuss a refinement of Fujita's volume upper bounds involving invariants of the local singularities. If time permits\, I will also talk about an equivalent relation between K-semistability and de Fernex-Ein-Mustata type inequalities. Part of this work is joint with Chi Li.

The lecture presents a survey of experimental music-making using the Internet. “What does it mean to \"be here\,' when here is there\, and there is here?” It's a question which not only pertains to these possibilities but also to real-time networked media in general.\n\nThis event is sponsored by the Department of Performing Arts Technology and by the College of Engineering.
