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.

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.

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.

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:44929-10012303@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:20160909T135546 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161101T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161101T113000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Ethics DESCRIPTION:Beginning with an introduction to ethics\, we'll consider a different ethical theme each week: virtues and sins\, health care\, politics\, business and war.

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. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality.

Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

I explore this question by examining the nation's first paid-leave entitlement for mothers. The passage of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 effectively created paid maternity leave for women with employer-sponsored short-term disability insurance. This policy was particularly relevant for women in five states with long-standing programs that made short-term disability insurance virtually universal. I present evidence that the law led to an increase in leave-taking\, especially among less-educated working women. Cross-sectional evidence suggests that for working women\, access to government-mandated disability insurance benefits results in about 2 fewer weeks spent at work in the 5 months around childbirth\, a 19% decrease relative to the comparison group. Employment among new mothers in states with disability insurance programs falls by about 6 percentage points in the months immediately after childbirth\, but appears to recover completely by month 6.\n\nFederal Transfers and Government Accountability in Indonesia Abstract:\nSubnational governments in developing countries rely heavily on transfers from the central government to finance public spending\, yet little is known about the relative merits of different transfer arrangements. This paper examines the effects of two large federal grant programs in Indonesia. The first grant is allocated based on fiscal need\, with fairly stable and predictable disbursements over time. The second grant is tied to local oil and gas production and is quite volatile. We exploit a policy reform and variation in resource endowments to estimate local government responses to the two grants. Research on other developing countries finds disappointing effects of federal grants\, which researchers often attribute to corruption and low political accountability. We use the staggered introduction of direct democracy to Indonesian districts to examine the role of political accountability.

We argue that an important channel aiding recovery came through the direct effect of devaluation on farm prices\, incomes\, and consumption. We call this the farm channel. Using U.S. and British crop price data\, we document that devaluation raised prices of traded crops and their close substitutes (other grains). And using state and county auto sales and income data\, we document that recovery proceeded much more rapidly in farm areas. Our baseline estimates imply that a one standard deviation increase in the share of a state’s population living on farms is associated with a 20–34 percentage point increase in auto sales growth from winter to fall 1933. This effect is concentrated in states producing traded crops (cotton\, tobacco\, wheat) or close substitutes\, suggesting an important role for devaluation. In annual county data we show that the farm channel is strongest in counties with more indebted farmers. To map these cross-sectional estimates into an aggregate effect\, we build an incomplete-markets model that explicitly incorporates both the benefits of the farm channel to farmers (higher farm income) as well as the costs to nonfarmers (higher prices paid for farm goods). The model suggests that by redistributing income to indebted farmers with a high marginal propensity to consume\, the farm channel may explain 25-50% of the spring 1933 recovery.

Inspired by this\, one can define the topological entropy of a map on a compact metric space\, which describes the exponential growth rate of the number of distinguishable orbit segments. The Variational Principle describes how these notions of entropy are related. I will introduce entropy in both contexts and discuss the proof of the Variational Principle.

This quantum state may host various exotic phenomena such as quantum anomalous Hall effect\, Majoranan fermions\, and giant spin-hall effect\, often realized by chemical doping of TIs. In most TI’s\, however\, significant bulk conduction due to native atomic defects overwhelms that of surface states\, which hampers potential applications of topological surface states. Despite many years’ studies\, the nature of native defects in many TIs is still illusive. In this talk\, I will present our recent studies of native defects in Bi2Se3 by combining high resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and first principle calculation [4]. We identified the major native defects\, in particular the Se vacancies and Se interstitial defects that are responsible for the bulk conduction and nanoscale potential fluctuations in single crystals of archetypal topological insulator Bi2Se3. Identification and control of defects in topological insulators are crucial steps toward experimental explorations of topological quantum phenomena. Preliminary results of topological phase transition induced by In doping will also be presented. \n\n[1] X.-L. Qi and S.-C. Zhang\, Reviews of Modern Physics 83\, 1057 (2011).\n[2] M. Z. Hasan and J.

The ranks of these groups are well understood in terms of the equations defining the variety\, thanks to Hodge theory. However\, the torsion tends to be much more \"transcendental\" in nature and not easily accessible via algebraic techniques. Torsion cohomology classes have recently played a pivotal role in fundamental advances in many subjects such as number theory\, algebraic geometry\, and representation theory\, so it is important to better understand torsion from an algebraic perspective.\n\nIn my talk\, I'll explain how to bound the torsion explicitly in terms of the equations defining the variety. The bound is a consequence of the construction of a new cohomology theory in p-adic Hodge theory\, and the bulk of my talk will be dedicated to explaining why the coefficient ring of this cohomology theory (i.e.\, its value on a point) makes meaningful mathematical sense of a small piece of the non-existent object \"Z tensor Z over F_1\".\n\nThis talk is based on joint work with Matthew Morrow and Peter Scholze.

Before attending U-M\, Rachel was a part of the Institute for Recruitment of Teachers (IRT). IRT is a program that helped her apply to graduate school by covering the cost of applying and providing GRE prep.\n\nWhat is IRT? \nThe IRT addresses the lack of diversity in the nation's teaching faculties by recruiting outstanding students of color and other scholars committed to diversity\, counseling them through the graduate school application process\, and advocating for sufficient funding for advanced study. Since 1990\, the IRT has built a national consortium of colleges and universities that are eager to enroll IRT students to diversify their graduate student bodies and to expand the pipeline of educators to teach\, counsel\, and administrate in American schools\, colleges\, and universities.\n\nFrom early September through mid-November\, all IRT participants receive the following support throughout the graduate school application process at no charge\, which include:\n1. Individualized support and extensive counseling as fellows choose graduate programs and apply to a renowned consortium of graduate schools across the country\n2. Application fee waivers for up to 12 consortium schools\n3. Assistance in fine-tuning statements of purpose\, resumes\, and writing samples\n\nAdditionally\, the IRT sponsors a Summer Workshop\, a paid internship on the Phillips Academy campus\, located just outside of Boston\, MA. Participants engage in a graduate-level curriculum of critical\, cultural\, and educational theory during an intense four-week program\; students and faculty work together nine hours each day\, seven days a week.

DESCRIPTION:It was a dark and stormy night. Deep in the corner of a small cellar in Doomsville\, Delaware\, the dim light of a lone candle struggled against the overwhelming weight of the darkness\, aided only by the occasional flash of lightning. Working too feverishly to notice his visibility waning\, Dr. Victor Frankenstein hurried to put the finishing touches on his creation. Finally\, it was ready. This climax of his efforts had arrived. Two years of ceaseless labor\, all towards one end: life\, instilled in the inanimate body he had meticulously assembled\, destined to cook gourmet pizza for the doctor’s kick start\, Frankenstein Pizza: A Flavor Worth Resurrecting For.His window was narrow. If the freshly thawed corpse lay exposed for even an hour longer\, the ensuing decay would eliminate any chance for the prospective chef to ever breathe the cellar air\, dank with the thriving colonies of mildew climbing the walls. But Frankenstein was only one switch away from completing a circuit that would send 10\,000 volts of electricity through his specimen\, jumpstarting the heart\, introducing a brand new consciousness into the world. The moment of truth. Frankenstein flipped the switch.Nothing. It was at this moment that Frankenstein was suddenly made aware of the fact that he had been living without electricity for the last six months\, having long ago ceased to pay his bills. Hence the candlelight\, he thought. Now stripped of his chef\, his life savings\, the last two years of hard labor\, and his childhood dream of owning a pizza joint\, the doctor decided to quietly spend the rest of his days in his parents’ basement reflecting on deep mysteries like the meaning of beauty and eating the pizza of those more successful than himself.Join us for FREE PIZZA at 6pm\, Tuesday\, November 1st in one of the Angell Hall Auditoriums as we take after the spirit of Dr. Victor Frankenstein\, discussing the meaning of beauty and the extent to which it is okay to discriminate based on beauty. Frightfully yours\,Robert KoehnTreasurer of the Dead Pizza Society UID:35567-5272294@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/35567 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Angell Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161024T110004 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161101T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161101T193000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dissonance Event Series: Disrupting Democracy - How Technology is Influencing Elections DESCRIPTION:Alex Halderman\, Professor of Computer Science & Engineering\, EECS\; Director\, University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society\n\nWalter Mebane\, Professor of Political Science\, Professor of Statistics\, College of LSA and Faculty Associate\, Center for Political Studies\, Institute for Social Research\n\nDavid Tribou (Panel Moderator) Host of Morning Edition\, Michigan Radio UID:34455-4926142@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/34455 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Engineering,Information and Technology,Law,Leadership,Politics,Social,Social Impact,Social Justice LOCATION:Michigan League - Ballroom CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161024T181528 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161101T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161101T192000 SUMMARY:Performance:EXCEL Talk: Calidore String Quartet DESCRIPTION:This informal Q&A with M-Prize Winner’s Calidore String Quartet will offer students the opportunity to ask questions about their journey forming a chamber group\, participating in top competitions\, and maintaining an elite career in chamber music.

As the two candidates trade in insults and scandal-mongering\, government and military officials are preparing a vast military escalation that threatens the lives of millions\, if not billions of people. \n\nRegardless of who is elected in November\, the working class and youth in the US and around the world face immense dangers. The greatest danger is the gulf that exists between the\nadvanced state of war plans by the US military and the general level of popular consciousness.\n\nEverything must be done to alert workers and young people to what is being planned and to build a political leadership to oppose war and the capitalist system that produces it.\n\nSEP Presidential candidate Jerry White will speak at this meeting\, hosted by the IYSSE at UM. He will speak about the threat of world war\, why it is not seriously discussed in the elections\, and about the urgent need to build a mass anti-war movement in the US. His party is holding a major anti-war conference in Detroit on November 5\, which will also be addressed at this meeting.

Voted Guitarist of the Decade by Guitarist magazine and Best Acoustic Fingerstylist four years in a row by readers of Guitar Player\, Adrian Legg dazzles audiences with an unclassifiable mixture of country\, jazz\, folk\, rock\, and classical styles. For all his rapid-fire playing\, though\, Adrian never loses sight of melodies and their power to move us. And on top of that\, he's a tall tale teller of the first order\, with a dry sense of humor that would be reason enough in itself to come to one of his concerts. Says Newsday: \"Unlike Richard Thompson or Robert Fripp\, in whose league he belongs\, Legg seems never to have been seduced by rock. But unlike Leo Kottke or Ry Cooder\, whom he also occasionally resembles\, Adrian Legg is an adventurer\, not an archivist.\" He is\, quite simply\, one of the greatest guitarists in the world\, and perhaps the very least heralded among that group.
