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 Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. 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. Refreshments will be served.

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.

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: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:Presentation:P&SC Brown Bag: Understanding the development of callous unemotional traits and antisocial behavior
DESCRIPTION:Youth antisocial behavior\, which includes violence\, rule-breaking\, and substance use\, represents a major public health concern because of the negative economic\, social\, and health effects it has on perpetrators\, victims\, and families. To better understand its developmental origins\, we need to improve our characterization of the heterogeneity within antisocial behavior. My talk will focus on a dimension within antisocial behavior defined by high levels of callous unemotional (CU) traits\, which comprises low empathy and guilt and a lack of caring about others\, and predicts particularly severe and chronic aggression and rule-breaking across development. I will present research examining the origins of CU traits\, focusing on early childhood given that this developmental period heralds the emergence of individual differences in empathy\, guilt\, and conscience. My work evaluates the meaning and measurement of CU behaviors in early childhood and their role as a developmental precursor to CU traits and severe behavior problems later in childhood. I will also present findings from my work examining the importance of context and the environment to the development of CU behaviors\, with a particular focus on parenting practices. The talk will conclude with a summary of my recent research modeling the interaction of context and biology over time and how specific environmental\, neural\, and genetic risk factors interact to increase the risk that children develop CU behaviors and more severe antisocial behavior.

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:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. 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. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Bridging the Gap: Statistical Methods and Agent-Based Modeling in Social Epidemiology
DESCRIPTION:CSAAW Event\n\nABSTRACT\nCalls for greater integration of complex systems methods in the study of social factors contributing to health have gone largely unanswered due to the difficulty of integrating data with computational modeling methods in these contexts. This study utilizes a generalized linear mixed-effects model of risk factors at the school and individual levels for smoking experimentation in order to present parameter estimates for an agent-based model to identify the mechanisms of social connectedness that contribute to smoking initiation. While many studies identify adolescent popularity as a risk factor for smoking initiation\, none have identified the specific characteristics of network connectivity that are responsible for the perpetuation of smoking behavior. This attempt to integrate modeling methods presents a potential solution for the integration of computational modeling with traditional statistical methods prevalent among social epidemiologists. The results from this study emphasize the critical importance of accounting for the behavior of immediate friends\, particularly when considering global centrality network measures as a proxy for measuring popularity.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Industrial Upgrading and Economic Growth in China
DESCRIPTION:This conference will examine China’s changing development model and the role of industrial upgrading in promoting new sources of growth and development. We will seek to understand (1) the global\, regional and national comparative and historical competitiveness contexts in which China’s industrial upgrading will take place\, and (2) new technologies\, the industrial ecosystems required for them to emerge and thrive\, and their business\, economic and social implications going forward. As history shows us\, successful industrial upgrading is not a purely technical\, market- and technology-driven process\, but also a social process grounded in particular local circumstances.  Industrial upgrading also involves deindustrialization\, with new technologies displacing the old\, hardware giving way to software\, production yielding to consumption\, and jobs being destroyed as others are created--processes that also need to be managed by governments and communities.\n\nKeynote presentations will be given by Justin Yifu Lin\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies Distinguished Visitor\, Professor at Peking University and Former Chief Economist of the World Bank and Shang-Jin Wei\, Chief Economist at the Asian Development Bank and Professor at Columbia University. \n\nThe Industrial Upgrading and Economic Growth in China conference is presented by Ross China Initiatives\, LSA Department of Economics\, and theLieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, and co-sponsored by the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy and Ross Executive Education.\n\nPlease contact ross-globalinitiatives@umich.edu for more information.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dance Master Class Repertory Series: Ricki Mason “Lou Henry Hoover”
DESCRIPTION:SMTD Dance Alumna Ricki Mason\, who will receive an “Emerging Artist Award” at this year’s SMTD Alumni Awards Ceremony\, leads a workshop in which dancers use their bodies to reveal tiny stories about themselves through scores and choreography from Mason’s current repertory. Mason is a choreographer and performance artist who combines a decade-long dance career with a deep love of drag to create work that comes straight from the gut\, wrapped in deliciously campy candy coating\, not to obscure the truth\, but to hyper-color it. \n\nEach Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities.\n\nEach guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15 minutes\, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist\, discussing their career\; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional\, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Labor Economics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe use new timestamp data from the two Securities Information Processors (SIPs) to examine SIP reporting latencies for quote and trade reports. Reporting latencies average 1.13 milliseconds for quotes and 22.84 milliseconds for trades. Despite these latencies\, liquidity-taking orders gain on average $0.0002 per share when priced at the SIP-reported national best bid or offer (NBBO) rather than the NBBO calculated using exchanges’ direct data feeds. Trading surrounding SIP-priced trades shows little evidence that fast traders initiate these liquidity-taking orders to pick-off stale quotes. These findings contradict claims that fast traders systematically exploit traders who transact at the SIP NBBO.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Nick Henricksen will speak on \"Consonant gemination in Andalusian Spanish: Production and perception.\"\n\nAbstract\nSpanish is often described as a language that lacks word-internal geminate consonants. This study explores an ongoing sound change in Andalusian Spanish whereby /ɾn/ and /ɾl/ sequences undergo gemination (i.e.\, [n:] and [l:]\, respectively)\, due to phonetic assimilation of clusters involving coronal sonorants. This change now creates a lexical contrast between non-geminate [n]/[l] and geminate [n:]/[l:] in pairs orthographically represented as pela ‘s/he peals’ - perla ‘pearl’\, cala ‘cove’ - Carla ‘Carla’\, and tono ‘tone’ - torno ‘window’\, among others. In this presentation we will present data from two production experiments and two perception experiments. For all four experiments\, we collected data from speakers of a geminating variety (from Andalusia\, Spain)\, as well as from speakers of a non-geminating variety (from Castile\, Spain).

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:Energy & Environmental Economics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nExposure to air pollution has adverse impacts on human health\, workplace productivity\, educational and a variety of behavioral outcomes. Motivated by research from medicine and psychology linking pollution to aggression\, we provide the first evidence of a causal link between short-run variation in ambient pollution and the commission of violent crime. Using the location of crimes and wind direction as a source of pollution variation\, we find that air pollution increases violent crime in both Chicago (by 2.2%) and the Los Angeles metro area (by 6.1%). Consistent with the literature on aggression and ambient pollution\, we find no effect on property crime. The results are robust to a wide variety of specifications and falsification tests. Back of the envelope calculations indicate that the cost of pollution-induced crime is comparable in magnitude to other outcomes studied in the literature and should be included in benefit-cost analysis of pollution abatement policies. Overall\, the results suggest that pollution may reduce welfare and affect behavior and decision making through an even wider set of channels than previously understood.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Interdisciplinary Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:Among a set of competitors for a single common resource\, the best will simply exclude the others. Yet in nature we can see astounding diversity of competing species. Do close similarities in species' response to the local environment primarily explain their coexistence? Or is this diversity possible because of differences between species that stabilize their coexistence? And if so\, what particular differences between species are important in particular communities? Some ecological communities lend themselves to experimental manipulation to begin to answer these questions. Yet for many other communities\, such as tree species in forests\, the logistical hurdles to this approach are daunting. Faster progress could be made in ecology if insight into biodiversity maintenance mechanisms could be gained from patterns exhibited in local ecological communities\, such as how coexisting species are distributed in their ecological traits and relative abundance. Hurdles that we need to overcome to be able to gain such insight include: 1) further developing neutral theory\, a quantitative process-based null model of community pattern resulting when species similarities are what allow their coexistence\, and 2) better understanding what patterns to expect when species differences dominate instead\, particularly in the context of stochasticity and immigration. My research aims to overcome these hurdles\, to provide better tools for analyzing observed pattern. Speaker(s): Annette Ostling (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biophysics Seminar: Elizabeth Gichana and Marcos Núñez\, Biophysics Ph.D. Candidates
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Gichana:\n\nTitle:  \"Investigating the influence of sequence of the folding mechanism of RNaseH using a structure based model\"\n\n Abstract: \nThere are two major sources of frustration in a protein folding – energetic and topological. Energy landscape theory posits that main-chain topology is the major determinant in the folding mechanism of a protein. What is less well understood is the role that sequence effects play. To gain insight into this challenging problem\, we utilize ancestral sequences reconstructed along mesophilic and thermophilic lineages of ribonuclease H (RNaseH) leading back to a common ancestor. This family of proteins share function and topology and have high sequence homology but differ in their biophysical properties. We investigate the role that variation in sequence over these evolutionary timescales alters the energy landscape of RNaseH to give rise to these differences by employing coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations using a structure-based Go-like model to investigate folding mechanisms.\n \nand \n\nMarcos Núñez : \n\nTitle: Visualizing phase-like domains in B cell plasma membranes using super-resolution microscopy\n\nAbstract: Protein sorting based on liquid-ordered (Lo) or liquid-disordered (Ld) phase preference is readily observed in giant plasma membrane vesicles (GPMVs) at low temperatures but is not as easily detected in the intact cells from which they are derived. Here we utilize two-color super-resolution microscopy in combination with cross-correlation analysis to quantify the sorting of two minimal inner leaflet anchored-peptides proximal to clusters of cholera toxin B subunit (CTxB) in chemically fixed CH27 B cells. We find that the local density of a Lo-partitioning peptide is increased while the local density of an Ld-partitioning peptide is reduced in the vicinity of CTxB clusters when compared to the average density of peptides on the cell surface. This alongside other experimental results supports the hypothesis that intact cell plasma membranes can contain lipid domains which resemble Lo and Ld phases. In this talk\, I will discuss my efforts to make this measurement more quantitative by surveying different fluorescent probes and CTxB clustering conditions so that I can compare the magnitude of partitioning in response to different physical perturbations.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Journal Club
DESCRIPTION:In the last few months\, there has a been a fair bit of discussion on Phonolist (an email newsletter/blog about all things phonological) about gender representation at conferences\, with a specific focus on presenters and question askers. Although this discussion is specifically about phonology conferences\, it speaks to a topic that is relevant in linguistics (and academia) more broadly. We'll read a few of the very short and interesting blog entries on this topic from Phonolist.\n\nSince these are short pieces\, I'm also suggesting that you look at the most recent report by the LSA about the State of Linguistics in Higher Ed. This report contains a lot of interesting information\, but particularly relevant for our meeting on Friday\, it contains information about the gender participation in the field. Some of the pages with the most relevant information on this topic include: 7\, 10\, 11\, 12\, 15.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a method for estimating a subspace given noisy samples. It is useful in a variety of problems ranging from dimensionality reduction to anomaly detection and the visualization of high dimensional data. PCA performs well in the presence of moderate noise and even with missing data\, but is also sensitive to outliers. PCA is also known to have a phase transition when noise is independent and identically distributed\; recovery of the subspace sharply declines at a threshold noise variance. Effective use of PCA requires a rigorous understanding of these behaviors. This paper provides a step towards an analysis of PCA for samples with heteroscedastic noise\, that is\, samples that have non-uniform noise variances and so are no longer identically distributed. In particular\, we provide a simple asymptotic prediction of the recovery of a one-dimensional subspace from noisy heteroscedastic samples. The prediction enables: a) easy and efficient calculation of the asymptotic performance\, and b) qualitative reasoning to understand how PCA is impacted by heteroscedasticity (such as outliers).

Couple it with an earnest poetic sensibility\, a boundless work ethic\, and an uncanny gift for connecting with audiences spanning generations\, and it’s no wonder that Davis is now poised at the brink of the sort of widespread recognition that typically passes right over such a humble troubadour.
