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 Divided Images: Fiber
DESCRIPTION:Jill Ault is an Ann Arbor studio artist working in fiber\, primarily quilts\, with a BFA degree in painting from Eastern Michigan University. Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph\, a graphic design or a painting. She digitally prints variations of the image on fabric and divides the copies into many small squares (no two alike). When she carefully reassembles and sews together the squares\, parts of the image seem to move across and down the surface of the quilt. Ault exhibits nationally at fiber and quilt shows\, such as Quilt National in Athens\, Ohio and Fiberart International in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania.

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. 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

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Young IO Economists Conference
DESCRIPTION:Spatial Equilibrium\, Search Frictions and Efficient Regulation in the Taxi Industry Abstract:\nThis paper analyzes the dynamic spatial equilibrium of taxicabs and shows how common taxi regulations lead to substantial inefficiencies. Taxis compete for passengers by driving to different locations around the city. Search costs ensure that optimal search behavior will still result in equilibrium frictions in the form of waiting times and spatial mismatch. Medallion limit regulations and fixed fare structures exacerbate these frictions by preventing markets from clearing on prices\, leaving empty taxis in some areas\, and excess demand in other areas. To analyze the role of regulation on frictions and efficiency\, I pose a dynamic model of search and matching between taxis and passengers under regulation. Using a comprehensive dataset of New York City yellow medallion taxis\, I use this model to compute the equilibrium spatial distribution of vacant taxis and estimate intraday demand. My estimates show that search frictions reduce welfare by $422M per year\, or 62%. Counterfactual analysis reveals that existing regulations attain only 11% of the efficiency implied by a social planner’s solution\, while the adoption of optimized two-part tariff pricing would lead to 89% efficiency\, or a welfare gain on the order of $2.1B per year. The addition of directed matching technology to an optimized regime would increase welfare even further\, by approximately $2.4B per year.\n\nHow do Vertical Contracts Affect Product Availability? An Empirical Study of the Grocery Industry Abstract:\nProducers frequently provide nancial incentives to retailers in order to gain distribution for their products. These payments often take the form of vendor allowances: lump-sum transfers to retailers that do not directly depend on volume. To quantify the size of vendor allowances and their eects on product assortments and welfare\, I develop a framework to identify lump-sum transfers using only data on retail prices\, sales\, and assortments. Without making any assumptions about producer and retailer bargaining\, set estimates of vendor allowances are recovered. Additionally\, by assuming that producers make take-it-or-leave-it oers\, point estimates can be obtained. Lower bounds from set estimates imply that\, on average\, vendor allowances amount to at least 5% of retailer revenues. I apply model estimates to simulate how market outcomes change in the absence of vendor allowances. Counterfactual simulations predict that retailers fare worse\, product variety is reduced as retailers replace \niche\" products with \mainstream\" options\, but consumers nevertheless are better o. Small producers\, which oer high-velocity products\, increase market distribution and prots\, but\, absent marginal cost data\, consequences for large producers are uncertain.\n\nA Theory of Bidding Dynamics and Deadlines in Online Retail Abstract:\nWe present an equilibrium search model that parsimoniously rationalizes the use of auctions as a sales mechanism for new-in-box goods—a frequent occurrence in online retail markets—and analyze whether the existence of these auctions is welfare enhancing relative to a market consisting only of posted prices. Buyers have a deadline by which the good must be purchased\, and sellers choose between auctions and posted-price mechanisms. As the deadline approaches\, buyers increase their bids and are more likely to buy through posted-price listings. The model predicts equilibrium price dispersion even for new\, homogeneous goods. Using data on one million auction and posted-price listings for new-in-box items on eBay.com\, we find robust evidence consistent with our model. As predicted\, bidders increase their bids from one auction to the next\, equilibrium price dispersion exists\, and auctions and posted-price listings coexist. Fitting the model to the data\, we find that retail auctions increase total welfare by 1.8% of the average retail price if listing fees exactly cover platform costs\, but reduce welfare by 2.3% if listing fees are pure profit.\n\nInput Allocation and Downstream Market Structure: Slot Control in the U.S. Airline Industry Abstract:\nTo help manage airport congestion and reduce delays\, airlines operating at four U.S. airports must obtain from the FAA operating authorizations called \"slots\" to take off or land. Currently\, the FAA allocates the slots using the \"use-it-or-lose-it\" rule. Because of that\, the current system of slot control may inadvertently make these airports more congested as it creates incentives for the airlines to hoard the slots. The goal of the paper is to theoretically and empirically investigate the link between input allocation and the downstream market structure. I estimate a structural econometric model of airline competition. Using this model\, I recalculate the downstream equilibrium for a set of alternative mechanisms of slot allocation.

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:Conference / Symposium:Nam Center for Korean Studies Conference | Perspectives on Contemporary Korea 2016
DESCRIPTION:This conference\, Korean Families in Economic and Demographic Transitions\,” the sixth in Perspectives on Contemporary Korea series\, aims to bring scholars together to discuss how recent economic and demographic changes have affected parents and children in Korea\, and at the same time how changing family structure and arrangements have also contributed to recent economic and social inequality. In particular\, the conference invites scholars with both quantitative and qualitative approaches to Korean families. On the one hand\, quantitative studies can offer trends and patterns of changing Korean families. On the other hand\, qualitative research can explore subjective meanings\, perceptions\, and experiences of inequality and family changes beneath macro trends and patterns. In collaboration\, these approaches offer the opportunity for better understanding of changing Korean families and surrounding inequalities.\n\nComplete conference information: http://ii.umich.edu/ncks/news-events/events/conferences---symposia/perspectives-on-contemporary-korea/perspectives-on-contemporary-korea-2016---korean-families-in-eco.html

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Foreshadowing - Endangered and Threatened Plant Species
DESCRIPTION:A unique exhibit of botanical portraits that illuminates native and invasive plant species in a different light. Local artist and photographer Jane Kramer spent weeks exploring Michigan’s nature preserves and botanical gardens---including Matthaei---taking pictures of the shadows cast by native plant species. The shadow images were then transferred to handmade paper created from invasive plant species. For Kramer the shadows speak to the fragility of threatened plants and their struggle to survive in a changing environment that includes invasive species. The coupling of shadow and paper underscores the complex relationship between invasive and endangered plant species. Free admission. Open Wednesdays until 8 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dance Master Class Repertory Series: Alexander Springer and Xan Burley
DESCRIPTION:This technique master class\, co-taught by SMTD alums Xan Burley and Alex Springer\, explores their collaborative body of work as the Median Movement. Warm-up attends to the shifting weight of the body at rest and in motion\, generating heat for endurance\, strength\, and stability. Class exercises work to develop alignment and intelligent corporeal engagement in preparation for complex material. Improvisation practices\, wherein we regard the body as a receptive vessel\, instigate authentic embodiment of both individual and collective creative identities. Class will include phrase material drawn from Burley’s and Springer’s current repertory.\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. Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class.\n\nIn 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:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Dave Ogden will discuss \"Positive Attitudes Through Better Understanding: The Role of Perceptual Adaptation in Accent-Based Discrimination.\"\n\nAbstract\nIt has been argued that language\, including accent\, is one of the last domains in which discrimination is widely acceptable\, and that language discrimination is a “back door” to discrimination on other traits like nationality\, ethnicity\, and gender (Lippi-Green\, 2012). Researchers consistently find negative evaluations\, and even linguistic profiling\, of speakers and accents perceived as non-standard (see Lindemann & Subtirelu\, 2013\; Purnell\, Idsardi\, & Baugh\, 1999). Accent discrimination resulting from negative attitudes linked to stereotypes of social groups is well-recognized in sociolinguistic research (Dragojevic & Giles\, 2016\; Gluszek & Dovidio\, 2010). More recently\, researchers have begun to assess how perceptual fluency\, or the effortfulness that listeners feel in understanding accented speech\, affects attitudes towards speakers. Disfluent perception\, the experience associated with effortful information processing\, leads to negative emotions and attitudes toward that information (Alter\, 2013\; Alter & Oppenheimer\, 2009)\, and disfluent perception of an unfamiliar accent leads to negative evaluations of the speaker (Dragojevic & Giles\, 2016). Yet listeners have a robust ability to adapt to and understand highly variable speech patterns\, as shown by improvements in comprehension of non-native speech with listening experience (Baese-Berk\, Bradlow\, & Wright\, 2013\; Bradlow & Bent\, 2008\; Sidaras\, Alexander\, & Nygaard\, 2009). I will present pilot data for an experiment testing the hypothesis that adaptation resulting in more fluent perception will lead to more positive attitudes towards a non-native speaker.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CCG Technologies Seminar: \"Development and Application of a High-Throughput Assay for Homocitrate Synthase\, a Novel Target for Antifungal Drug Design\"
DESCRIPTION:Aspergillus fumigatus is a prevalent fungal pathogen that primarily infects individuals through inhalation of conidia\, which subsequently germinate and send invasive hyphal extensions throughout the lungs\, resulting in clinical bronchopulmonary and invasive aspergillosis. Individuals who are immunocompromised\, such as burn patients\, transplant recipients\, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy\, and individuals suffering from HIV/AIDS or other immunodeficiency syndromes\, as well as those suffering from chronic lung disease exhibit a higher risker developing aspergillosis. In addition\, asthmatics with fungal hypersensitivity are susceptible to developing allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis or severe asthma with fungal sensitization. Current antifungal therapies are generally unsuitable for the treatment of aspergillosis due to the toxicity and side effects associated with these drugs. These shortcomings underscore an urgent clinical need to develop new antifungal drugs that offer greater efficacy and a lower toxicity profile. One such target for drug development is homocitrate synthase (HCS)\, which catalyzes the first and committed step in fungal lysine biosynthesis. HCS is conserved in A. fumigatus\, but is absent in humans\, rendering it an attractive target for antifungal intervention. Further\, recent studies have demonstrated that HCS is essential to the bronchopulmonary virulence of A. fumigatus\, validating this enzyme as a novel target for antifungal drug design. The overall objective of this proposal is to identify and characterize HCS inhibitors that block the growth of A. fumigatus. Toward this goal\, we have developed a sensitive\, low volume fluorescent assay for HCS and employed this assay to conduct an in vitro high-throughput screen for small molecule inhibitors of A. fumigatus HCS (AfHCS) in the UM Center for Chemical Genomics. This screen has identified over 20 compounds that inhibit AfHCS with IC50 values less than or equal to ten micromolar\, which have been prioritized for testing in fungal growth assays using A. fumigatus clinical isolates. We envision that these compounds will yield chemical probes for studying aspergillosis in cell- and animal-based models and will provide a basis for developing new therapeutics for treating a broad spectrum of bronchopulmonary diseases caused by A. fumigatus.

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:HET Seminar | Causality and Universality at Strong Coupling
DESCRIPTION:Causality imposes constraints on the coupling constants in perturbative effective field theory\, which have played a role in understanding scattering amplitudes\, the a-theorem for renormalization group flows\, and higher curvature corrections in quantum gravity. I will describe similar constraints on strongly interacting theories. In one limit\, these constraints imply the averaged null energy condition\, which links causality to the inequalities obeyed by quantum information. Then\, in large-N conformal field theory\, I'll describe how causality tightly constrains the stress tensor correlation functions\, and points directly toward the emergence of Einstein gravity in the holographic dual.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SoConDi Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Moira Salzman will discuss \"South Korean language policy and the erasure of Jejueo.\"\n\nAbstract\nSouth Korea is considered one of the most linguistically homogenous countries worldwide\, and this image is promulgated by governmental policies\, the educational system\, and linguistic scholars.  In South Korean schools\, the majority of classroom hours are allocated to “correct use of the Korean language” (Song 2012:30) and popular television shows promote prescriptivist grammar and lexicon (Seth 2011:25).  In his oft-cited reference grammar of the Korean language\, Sohn (1999:12) writes\, “Despite [...] geographical and sociopolitical dialectal differences\, Korean is relatively homogenous\, with excellent mutual intelligibility among speakers from different areas.” \nHowever\, Jejueo\, the indigenous language of Jeju Island\, South Korea\, is less than 12% mutually intelligible with Korean (O’Grady 2015).  Jejueo is classified as critically endangered\, with 5\,000 to 10\,000 speakers all over the age of 70 (UNESCO 2010) and language use rapidly shifting to Korean.  The social and economic reforms of the New Village Movement in the 1970s created a diglossia on Jeju Island\, where Jejueo was prohibited from use in the media\, education\, religion and all official capacities.  Recent work on Jejueo language ideologies (Kim 2011\, Kim 2013) suggests that speakers maintain ideologies rooted in the former diglossia\, as Korean is used as a language of “distance and rationality” (Kim 2013).  This paper discusses the possibilities for Jejueo status planning and revitalization within the larger sociohistorical context of Korean language ideologies.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combinatorics
DESCRIPTION:In 1997 Hirota introduced a discrete dynamical system dKdV that lies conceptually between the classical KdV equation (a PDE) and the box ball system (a cellular automaton).  The most remarkable property of each of these systems is the existence of so-called soliton solutions.  I will describe a new variant on dKdV and explain what its solitons look like.  The system is built out of reduced word dynamics in the affine symmetric group\, with the generators enriched by weights that transform according to the Lusztig relation (a\,b\,c) \mapsto (bc/(a+c)\, a+c\, ab/(a+c)).  This is joint work with P. Pylyavskyy. Speaker(s): Max Glick (U. Connecticut)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWhat makes some strategy-proof mechanisms easier to understand than others? To address this question\, I propose a new solution concept: A mechanism is obviously strategy-proof (OSP) if it has an equilibrium in obviously dominant strategies. This has a behavioral interpretation: A strategy is obviously dominant if and only if a cognitively limited agent can recognize it as weakly dominant. It also has a classical interpretation: A choice rule is OSP-implementable if and only if it can be carried out by a social planner under a particular regime of partial commitment. I fully characterize the set of OSP mechanisms in a canonical setting\, with one-dimensional types and quasi-linear utility. A laboratory experiment tests and corroborates the theory.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Microbial controls on biogeochemical carbon cycling in marine sediments
DESCRIPTION:Marine sediments cover almost ~75% of the Earth’s surface and are one of the largest global reservoirs of organic carbon. Microorganisms play a primary role in the decomposition of organic matter in marine sediments. Consequently\, the activity of these microorganisms can have profound impacts on both local and global biogeochemical cycles. A major question in carbon biogeochemistry is determining what controls the accessibility or bioavailability of organic matter to microorganisms. It is not clear whether microorganisms themselves are ultimately controlling the degradation rate or whether it depends primarily on chemical and physical properties of the compounds and/or the depositional setting and sediment composition. In this presentation\, I will focus on new insights into the dynamics of organic matter degradation using novel isotopic approaches and explore how microbial metabolic potential can influence carbon mobilization in sediments

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biophysics Seminar: Prof. Edward R. Lyman\, University of Delaware
DESCRIPTION:Department of Physics and Astronomy\n\nAbstract: Your cell membranes are made mostly of lipids\, the class of biological macromolecule that includes fat\, oil\, and wax. This \"lipidome\" is a complex mixture of some 800 different types of lipid\, which changes with your diet and with the administration of lipid synthesis drugs like statins. Altering the lipid composition of a membrane changes its biophysical properties\, such as thermodynamic phase\, fluidity\, viscosity\, and curvature stress. Changes in biophysical properties may in turn affect cellular functions like signaling\, which often relies on the diffusive encounter of membrane-bound receptors. I will give an overview of the state of membrane biophysics\, with a particular focus on recent experimental breakthroughs which admit measurements of lipid diffusion with unprecedented spatiotemporal precision. I will then discuss our own efforts to use modeling approaches in collaboration with experimental colleagues to rationalize lipid and protein spatiotemporal organization in model membranes\, and our plans to extend these approaches to interpret recent measurements on live cell membranes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Kevin McGowan Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Kevin McGowan is an Assistant Professor of Linguistics at the University of Kentucky. He will give a talk titled\, \"Subcategorical mismatches can be mismatches of phonetic\, phonological\, lexical\, and social context.\"\n\nAbstract\nWe listen to the world through a filter of our own phonetic\, phonological\, lexical\, and social expectations.  In this talk I will present a pair of experiments that attempt to tease apart theories of listeners’ expectations and the speech signal.  In both experiments\, listeners made lexical decisions in a semantic priming paradigm.  In experiment 1\, long and short voice onset times (VOT) were paired with citation and fast speaking rates to examine the extent to which longer VOTs are more canonical cues to a voiceless stop —more likely to facilitate semantic priming— than shorter VOTs across speech styles.  The results of this study suggest that previous findings\, which argue for the superiority of long VOT in evoking word-initial voiceless percepts in English listeners\, are exaggerated by a mismatch between listener expectations established by a citation speaking rate.  Experiment 2 is a follow-up experiment that investigates whether\, as has been generally assumed\, artificially shortened VOT results in a voiced\, rather than voiceless\, percept for word-initial stops even when all other coarticulatory phonetic cues in the word might indicate voicelessness.  Listeners heard short VOT paired with citation speaking rates in words like ‘coal’ and made lexical decisions about either a voiceless percept consistent word (coal/mine) or a voiced percept consistent word (goal/score).  Surprisingly\, in this task\, artificially short VOT paired with a citation speaking rate word frame resulted in strong semantic priming for voiceless percepts and only weak semantic priming for voiced percepts.  Listeners are sensitive to the subcategorical mismatch in the stimuli\, but even a clear VOT cue does not override the constellation of other coarticulatory cues to voicelessness when long VOT productions are absent from the task.  The message of these experiments is that VOT\, while a cue to the voiced/voiceless distinction in English word-initial stops\, is neither a sufficient nor a necessary cue to perceive this category difference (see also Lisker\, 1996).  Use of this cue depends on social information in the speech signal (implemented here with speaking rate)\, lexical status of the word (whether it has a voiced lexical competitor)\, the relationship to other phonetic cues in the word\, and extrinsic comparison to other productions by the same talker.  I will argue that theories of speech perception and word recognition that do not take all of this contextual information into account during processing risk missing a fundamental property of what it means to be a human and what it is native speakers know when they know a language.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Distinguished University Professor Lecture: June Manning Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Mary Frances Berry Distinguished University Professor of Urban Planning\nCentennial Professor of Urban and Regional Planning June Manning Thomas will give the Mary Frances Berry Distinguished University of Michigan Professor of Urban Planning Lecture at Taubman College. As one of nine faculty members university-wide to receive this top faculty honor this year\, Professor Thomas is also the first faculty member at Taubman College to receive this prestigious designation.\nThomas is a pre-eminent scholar on how racial inequality and disunity have affected the planning\, evolution\, and redevelopment of cities and their neighborhoods. Her work focuses on economically distressed central cities\, addressing issues of planning theory and socialjustice. Her co-edited book Urban Planning and the African American Community: In the Shadows is a path-breaking exploration of key connections between racial injustice and urban planning. Redevelopment and Race: Planning a Finer City in Postwar Detroit won the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning’s Paul Davidoff Award for urban planning books published in in the area of social justice. She has written or co-edited three additional books related to race and poverty in Detroit and in other depopulated cities in the Midwest as well as dozens of book chapters and articles in scholarly journals. She also has written policy reports for the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan.\nHer recent research explores community development in Detroit and the 1960s civil rights movement in Orangeburg\, South Carolina\, where she helped integrate the local high school. Her research has been widely recognized by numerous academic awards including her election as a Fellow of the American Institute of Certified Planners. She is a prominent and highly effective national advocate for diversity and inclusion of under-represented faculty and students in urban planning academic programs. In 2013 she was named president of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning\, where she encouraged greater racial diversity in the nation’s urban planning schools.\nRecognized as an outstanding and inspirational teacher\, Thomas was a founding instructor for the U-M Residential College’s Semester in Detroit program\, teaching at the U-M Detroit Center from 2011 to 2015.  Her graduate course in planning theory is a defining experience for many graduate students\, emphasizing ethics and challenging students to consider how the planning process interacts with and affects disadvantaged communities without access to decision-makers. In recognition of her many contributions in the classroom and of her wider service on behalf of a more inclusive University\, Professor Thomas was awarded the 2014 Harold R. Johnson Diversity Service Award.\nThomas earned her B.A. from Michigan State University in 1970\, with a major in sociology. Awarded Danforth\, National Science Foundation\, and Woodrow Wilson Fellowships\, she entered the doctoral program in the Urban and Regional Planning Program at the University of Michigan\, earning her Ph.D. in 1977 with a dissertation studying the loss of land ownership among African-Americans in South Carolina. She taught at Michigan State University before accepting a position in 2007 as the Centennial Professor in the Urban and Regional Planning Program of the A. Alfred Taubman College Architecture and Urban Planning.\nAbout the award:\nEstablished in 1947\, Distinguished University Professorships recognize full professors for exceptional scholarly or creative achievement\, national and international reputation\, and superior teaching skills. Each professorship bears a name determined by the appointive professor in consultation with her or his dean. Manning Thomas chose to be named the Mary Frances Berry Distinguished University Professor of Urban Planning.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Athi-Patra Ruga at Bona Sera
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the border-zones between fashion\, performance\, and contemporary art\, Athi-Patra Ruga makes work that exposes and subverts the body in relation to structure\, ideology\, and politics. Bursting with eclectic multicultural references\, carnal sensuality\, and a dislocated undercurrent of humor\, Ruga’s work creates a world where cultural identity is no longer determined by geographical origins\, ancestry\, or biological disposition\, but is increasingly becoming a hybrid construct.\n\nAthi-Patra has exhibited widely including recent exhibitions at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art\, the 55th Venice Biennale\, The Brass Artscape in Brussels\, SFMOMA\, the Tate Modern\, and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Athi-Patra Ruga was also recently included in the Phaidon book Younger Than Jesus\, a directory of over 500 of the world’s best artists under the age of 33.\n\nPresented in conjunction with Athi-Patra’s Thursday\, November 10 Penny W. Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series presentation at the Michigan Theater\, Ann Arbor.  An additional event with Athi-Patra Ruga will take place at 7 pm on Friday\, November 4 at MOCAD (4454 Woodward Ave\, Detroit).

SUMMARY:Performance:Bob Schneider
DESCRIPTION:Born in Ypsilanti\, raised in Munich\, Germany\, and based in Austin\, Bob Schneider is a rock-oriented singer-songwriter who pushes the limits. He's the son of a German opera singer who moonlighted in pop on the side\, and he's been performing since he was a toddler. He moved to El Paso to study art\, but the musical urge was stronger and he ended up in Austin. Bob fronted several of the city's most popular bands\, including Lonelyland\, the Scabs\, and the Ugly Americans\, and since then he's been burning up the grapevine in a very competitive town with his weekly Monday night shows at the Saxon Pub. His musical diverse tunes have been credited as a songwriting influence by Jason Mraz among others. Bob's album \"Lovely Creatures\,\"brought him seven Austin Music Awards\, including Musician for the Year\, Song of the Year (for the top-15 national hit \"40 Dogs (Like Romeo and Juliet)\,\" Album of the Year\, Male Vocalist of the Year\, and Songwriter of the Year. He comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"King Kong Vol. III.\"
