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.

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:44929-10012312@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:20160915T082349 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T163000 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.

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.

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. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

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.

Staged Seduction reveals a world where all intimacies and feigned feelings are fair game for the hosts who employ feathered bangs\, polished nails\, fine European suits\, and the sensitivity of the finest salesmen to create a fantasy for wealthy women seeking an escape from the everyday. \n\nAkiko Takeyama's investigation of this beguiling underground \"love business\" provides an intimate window into Japanese host clubs and the lives of hosts\, clients\, club owners\, and managers. The club is a place where fantasies are pursued and the art of seduction isn't merely about romance\; a complex set of transactions emerges. Like a casino of love\, the host club is a site of desperation\, aspiration\, and hope\, in which both hosts and clients are eager to roll the dice. Takeyama reveals the aspirational mode not only of the host club\, but also of a Japanese society built on the commercialization of aspiration\, seducing its citizens out of the present and into a future where hopes and dreams are imaginable—and billions of dollars can be made. \n \nAkiko Takeyama is an assistant professor of anthropology and women\, gender\, and sexuality studies at the University of Kansas. Her research interests lie in changing gender\, sexuality\, and class dynamics in contemporary Japan. Her first book\, Staged Seduction: Selling Dreams in a Tokyo Host Club\, (2016 Stanford University Press) theorizes the commercialization of feelings\, emotions\, and intimate relationships among socially marginalized population —the youth and women— in Japan’s service-centered economy. Her second book project\, tentatively entitled “Affect Economy of Human Trafficking in Japan\,” will explore human affect ―hope\, fear\, and a sense of vulnerability― in the analysis of 21st century capitalism\, complicating such legal categories as human rights and individual consent especially when sexual and economic exploitation are carried out in the name of individual choice.

It was at this time that the Bronze Age site of Pecica Şanţul Mare was established. Over the next 500 years\, Pecica rapidly became the preeminent Bronze Age center in the region\, controlling the distribution of metals and domesticated horses throughout the Carpathian Basin\, and then with equal rapidity collapsed and was abandoned. Renewed excavation at Pecica Şanţul Mare affords a finegrained view of the interplay of factors which led to the genesis and collapse of this important Bronze Age polity\, and allows regional patterns of growth\, aggregation\, and dispersal to be linked to specific social processes and elite strategies at this critical center. Pecica provides a valuable case\, in which a\ncomplex polity does not transition into a stable state-like organization.

A 'non-commutative resolution' is given by a module M whose ring of endomorphisms has finite global dimension. Intuitively\, this replaces the idea of 'projective modules' with 'summands of M'. When R is a domain of characteristic p>0\, one possible M to consider is the module of p^e roots. \n\nIn this talk\, I will demonstrate that\, for toric algebras\, the module of p^e roots gives a non-commutative resolution\, and show how the precise module structure of the endomorphism ring can be described combinatorially. This is joint work with Eleonore Faber and Karen E. Smith.\n\n Speaker(s): Greg Muller (University of Michigan) UID:33744-4779720@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33744 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 3096 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160916T113835 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T163000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Decision Consortium DESCRIPTION:Children's developing use of scarcity and variety in their evaluations and valuations of items UID:33779-4784597@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33779 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Psychology,Talk LOCATION:East Hall - 4464 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161007T121529 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T150000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EXCEL Trainings DESCRIPTION:Led by Jonathan Kuuskoski\n\nHave a project that needs some funding support?

This statement\, as well as the non-unirationality of many other Deligne-Mumford moduli spaces\, was well-known in characteristic zero\, but is more difficult in characteristic p. Our method uses the action of Frobenius on the etale cohomology of M_{1\,n}. Following Deligne\, we can compute this cohomology in terms of modular forms. The unirationality then follows from classical results on modular forms modulo p.\n Speaker(s): Will Sawin (Princeton/ETH) UID:35099-5104579@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/35099 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - B844 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161104T061652 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T151000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analysis/Probability Learning Seminar DESCRIPTION:Speaker(s): Petros Valettas (University of Missouri) UID:33786-4787021@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33786 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 3866 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161110T181706 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T151000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analysis/Probability Learning Seminar DESCRIPTION:We are going to present a very short (probabilistic) proof of the classical Dvoretzky theorem in the spirit of Figiel's (topological) proof. This approach gives rise of a new global parameter which is responsible for small deviation and small ball estimates. Furthermore\, the dependence on epsilon we obtain in this way is the optimal one. A refined form of the random version of Dvoretzky's theorem (due to V. Milman) in terms of this parameter will also be discussed. The latter can be viewed as the almost isometric version of the Klartag-Vesrhynin result on the one-sided inclusion of Dvoretzky's theorem. (Joint work with G. Paouris).

We know little\, however\, about the mechanisms that operate when interacting with others. We implement a randomized experiment in 171 schools in Mexico that allows us to isolate the effect of changes in the mean and variance of peers on students' academic performance and behavior. We find that tracking and mixing (i.e.\, bimodal groups) generate similar average gains (0.07-0.08SD) without hurting low-achieving students. Both concerns about the relative ranking as well as peer support seem to play a role in explaining peer effects.

Specifically\, it is unclear whether production is primarily influenced by “direct” climate effects on the kinetics of plant metabolism\, or “indirect” climate effects on plant size\, stand biomass\, stand age structure\, and growing season length. I address this debate by deriving metabolic theory that links hypothesized climate influences with production\, and assessing these hypothesized relationships using a global compilation of ecosystem woody plant biomass and production data. Notably\, age and biomass explained most of the variation in production whereas temperature and precipitation explained almost none\, suggesting that climate indirectly (not directly) influences production. This lack of a direct kinetic effect may arise from covariation of leaf traits and climate\, which decouples plant and air temperatures. This yields a general thermoregulation of leaves\, which I suggest originates from selection on leaf traits to maximize carbon gain across and within variable environments. Using global data for leaf temperatures\, traits and photosynthesis\, I evaluate predictions from a theory of thermoregulation that synthesizes energy budget and carbon economics theories. These results provide a novel mechanistic understanding of constraints on evolution of plant form and function\, and have critical implications for earth system models that almost always assume plant temperatures equal ambient air temperature.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m. UID:35739-5311013@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/35739 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Discussion,Ecology,Environment,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161107T121342 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T210000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Harbaugh Themed Dinner DESCRIPTION:Come to Mosher-Jordan Dining Hall on Thursday\, November 10th and enjoy a delicious dinner celebrating Coach Harbaugh!

The ray graph is a Gromov-hyperbolic graph on which this group acts by isometries (it is an equivalent of the curve graph for this surface of infinite type). Therefore\, studying the properties of the ray graph could give tools to study subgroups of the considered mapping class group and prevent some specific group actions on the plane.\n\nIn a recent joint work with Alden Walker\, we give a description of the Gromov boundary of the ray graph in terms of \"cliques of long geodesic rays\" on the plane minus a Cantor set. As a consequence\, we prove that the Gromov boundary of the ray graph is homeomorphic to a quotient of a subset of the circle. In this talk\, I will introduce the ray graph and present (with many pictures!) our description of its Gromov boundary.

DESCRIPTION:It is a generally held truism that we ought to sincerely thank our veterans\, especially on Veterans Day. Is the truism correct\, though? Even if it is\, what does it mean? Are some of our expressions of thanks really just trumped up ways of absolving ourselves for responsibility in war? What are some of the ways we over-valorize veterans? What are some of the ways we scapegoat veterans?

Yahuba: Afro-Caribbean Music from Puerto Rico DESCRIPTION:Yahuba is a Puerto Rican musical group music whose varied repertoire highlights the fusion of different folkloric traditions in the region\, such as jíbaro\, bomba\, plena\, and danza from Puerto Rico\; salve\, palos\, bachata\, and merengue from the Dominican Republic\; RaRa and Konpa from Haiti\; changüi\, rumba\, son\, bolero\, and guaracha from Cuba\, among other musical traditions. All of these rich musical traditions are reworked from their most basic and essential melodic and harmonic elements\, on top of an African-American jazz and funk base\, to create a new platform for a truly Pan-Caribbean cultural fusion. \n \nFounded in 1999\, Yahuba is also dedicated to the research\, education\, and performance of the musical traditions of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean region. An important tenet of the band’s work is the diffusion of knowledge about Caribbean culture as seen throughout the history of its musical tradition\, especially those elements connected to its African heritage.
