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: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: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:Workshop / Seminar:Health\, History\, Demography & Development (H2D2)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe willingness of firms to provide general training to workers depends on the productivity gains from training and the likelihood that workers are retained. We evaluate the impacts of training in soft skills development on the workplace outcomes of female garment workers in Bengaluru\, India. We implemented a lottery determining access to the program by randomizing lines and then workers within lines to treatment\, which allows us to capture treatment effects and program spillovers. We find that despite a high overall turnover rate\, more treated workers are retained during the training period\; this difference disappears after training is complete. Treated workers are 12 percent more productive than controls. Within-team spillovers in productivity and task complexity are sub- stantial. Survey outcomes support the hypothesis that the program increased the stock of soft skills\, which raised workers’ marginal products. Wages increase by 0.5 percent after program completion. Pairing our point estimates with program costs\, we calculate that the net return to on-the-job soft skills training for garment workers is large – about 250 percent 9 months after program completion.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | China and Europe in Global Economic History: From Europe’s Divergence to China’s Convergence
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores two basic roles of European political economy that deliberately and unintentionally resulted in the ‘great divergence’ and contrast this set of dynamics with the contemporary possibilities for Chinese political economy to harness its domestic developmental aspirations to a transformation of Eurasian economies from its own borders all the way into Europe.\n\nR. Bin Wong is Distinguished Professor of History and since 2004 Director of the Asia Institute at UCLA. His research has examined Chinese patterns of political\, economic and social change both within Asian regional contexts and compared with more familiar European patterns\, as part of the larger scholarly efforts underway to make world history speak to contemporary conditions of globalization. He is author\, co-author\, and editor of several books\, including \"China Transformed: Historical Change and the Limits of European Experience\" (Cornell University Press 1997) and (with Jean-Laurent Rosenthal) \"Before and Beyond Divergence: The Politics of Economic Change in China and Europe\" (Harvard University Press 2011)\, along with some one hundred articles published in North America\, East Asia and Europe. Since 2009 he has been a Distinguished Guest Professor at the Fudan University Institute for Advanced Study in Social Sciences. He also serves on the International Advisory Board of the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes and on the Berggruen Center on Philosophy and Culture Academic Board. As a scholar working in four languages\, Director Wong is acutely aware of the challenges of translation and comparative work. His decades of research on economic history and teaching in the U.S. and China have confirmed the necessity of studying development economics and political development in historical perspective in order to gain new insights.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic History
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nNew initiatives to create longitudinal linkages from historical datasets are transforming the study of U.S. economic and demographic history. This paper uses two ground truth samples to provide new evidence on the performance of four automated record-linking algorithms and two commonly used phonetic name-cleaning methods\, Soundex and NYSIIS\, in historical samples. Our results show high match rates for each algorithm\, but we document important shortcomings of each. First\, no method (including the ground truth) appears representative of the underlying population. Second\, the incidence of type I errors are distressingly high in samples generated by automated methods\, ranging from 19 percent to 81 percent. Third\, the use of phonetic name cleaning universally increases type I errors by 60 to 100 percent. Finally\, erroneous links are strongly correlated with baseline sample characteristics\, suggesting that systematic measurement error introduced by different automated linking methods could have substantial (and difficult to sign) effects on parameter estimates. As an illustration\, we show that different linking methods are associated with very different estimates of intergenerational income elasticities for the 1920 to 1940 period\, ranging from 0.33 to a statistical zero. We conclude with constructive suggestions for improving automated methods without using clerical review or genealogical methods.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:European Horizons Lecture. Europe’s Crisis of Legitimacy: Governing by Rules and Ruling by Numbers in the Eurozone
DESCRIPTION:Although \"Brexit\" and the refugee crisis have grabbed the headlines\, the Eurozone crisis also continues to be of major concern for the European Union. The EU’s comparatively poor economic performance and increasingly volatile politics have combined with its focus on \"governing by the rules and ruling by the numbers\" in the Eurozone to generate a crisis of democratic legitimacy. Prof. Schmidt theorizes about this legitimacy crisis in terms of problems with \"output\" policies\, \"input\" politics\, and \"throughput\" processes. She argues that in response to such problems\, EU institutional actors—ECB\, Council\, Commission\, and EP—all incrementally reinterpreted the rules and recalibrated the numbers \"by stealth\,\" that is\, without admitting it in their public discourse. To theorize about such processes of ideational innovation and discursive legitimation during the Eurozone crisis\, Prof. Schmidt uses the neo-institutionalist framework of discursive institutionalism. \n\nVivien A.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Geometry/Topology
DESCRIPTION:In 1968\, Hormander introduced the notion of Fourier integral operators and used techniques of microlocal analysis to study the asymptotics of wave kernel $U(t) = exp(-itA)$ associated to a classical elliptic self-adjoint pseudo-differential operator A of order 1 on a compact manifold M for small times\, and obtained an improved estimate for the spectral function\, when $A = \sqrt{-\triangle}$\, the square root of Laplace operator on the compact manifold M\, this estimate for the spectral function can be used to improve the error term in the Weyl law describing the asymptotics of counting function of eigenvalues of the Laplacian. \n\nIn this talk\, I will start by introducing pseudo-differential operators on Manifolds\, discuss a few essential properties\, then sketch a proof of Hormander's estimate for the spectral function using the parametrix for the wave kernel.\n\n Speaker(s): Punya Satpathy (UM)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Disability and the Destruction of Jerusalem: Gender\, Sex\, and Flesh in Rabbinic Narrative\"
DESCRIPTION:This lecture examines rabbinic tales of the destruction of Jerusalem through the lens of scarred and wounded flesh. Rabbinic accounts of Roman conquest are saturated with sexual violence\, enslavement\, and the brutal corporeal cost of imperial ambition. Bringing disability studies\, gender and sexuality studies\, and feminist materialist theory to bear on rabbinic narrative\, this lecture argues that disability affords the rabbis a potent symbolic discourse with which to think through the ruin of Jerusalem. Yet even as the rabbis use disablement to expresses trauma and violation\, disabled figures also flip the conventional script of loss and vulnerability. At the same time that subjugated bodies bear the material costs of opposition to Roman dominance\, these very bodies can also become potent sites of resistance\, sites through which communities can critique colonial power—and articulate the subversive potency of dissident bodies that refuse to perform as desired beneath the imperial regime.\n\nJulia Watts Belser is Assistant Professor of Jewish Studies in the Theology Department at Georgetown University. She studies rabbinic Jewish culture in late antiquity\, with expertise in disability studies\, gender and sexuality studies\, queer theory\, and ecological criticism. She is the author of Power\, Ethics\, and Ecology in Jewish Late Antiquity: Rabbinic Responses to Drought and Disaster (Cambridge University Press\, 2015). Her current book project\, Corporeal Catastrophe: Gender\, Sex\, and Disability in Rabbinic Stories of Destruction\, will be forthcoming from Oxford University Press. A passionate lecturer and teacher\, Belser held a visiting faculty fellowship in the Women’s Studies and Religion at Harvard Divinity School and previously taught in the Religious Studies Department at Missouri State University. She received her Ph.D. in Jewish Studies from UC Berkeley and the Graduate Theological Union\, as well as rabbinic ordination from the Academy of Jewish Religion California.\n\nSponsored by Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies and University of Michigan Initiative for Disability Studies.\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | The Cyanobacterial Circadian Clock\, from Test Tube to Cell
DESCRIPTION:All plants and animals and many unicellular organisms possess circadian clocks-autonomous oscillators with a roughly 24 hour period that allow them to anticipate daily cycles of light and dark. I will discuss recent progress on understanding one such biological clock\, in the photosynthetic bacterium S. elongatus. This system has the remarkable feature that the core biochemical oscillator can be reconstituted in vitro with only three purified proteins. Thus\, unlike almost all other circadian clocks studied to date\, it requires neither transcription nor translation but functions entirely post-translationally. After reviewing what we know about how the in vitro oscillator functions\, as well as a few outstanding puzzles\, I will turn my attention to the implications of this understanding for clock function in the living cell. In particular\, I will argue that the core post-translational oscillator is necessary to make the clock robust to several perturbations present in any growing\, dividing cell\, but that other specific adaptations are also required. These include negative feedback on the transcription of clock components and the presence of several identical copies of the bacterial chromosome in the same cell. I will conclude by suggesting that\, far from being an isolated case\, the workings of the circadian clock built entirely on protein modifications actually point the way towards a new understanding of a number of other oscillatory biological systems\, which can all be thought of as examples of a new class of \"molecular synchronization oscillators.\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Africa Workshop: An Empire of Morals Revisited: Universalism\, Rights Talk and Cosmopolitan Imaginaries
DESCRIPTION:Grovogui is a professor of international relations theory and law.\n\nTeaching Interests\nI have two discrete teaching interests. My undergraduate courses are strictly confined to themes in international and global politics that either highlight dimensions applicable to Africa (including their modes of differentiation\, hierarchies\, and the racial and regional axes along which they can be erected)\; or African contributions and elucidation on the central themes of global politics: international community\, sovereign rights\, global justice\, and moral subjectivity.\n\nMy graduate courses are more directly in line with my research interests in 1) International Relations Theory\; 2) Political theory and 3) African Thought.\n\nIn this latter instance\, my teaching necessarily involves examination of politics and political thoughts in light of advances in historiography\, ethnography\, and hermeneutics. I am not confined by disciplines. Rather the subject of analysis compels its own methodologies and modes of interrogation. I am therefore open to students and interlocutors interested in African-related themes from any number of philosophical\, literary\, artistic\, or political traditions with one proviso: that the end is to reflect on African contributions to global debates on the nature of politics in the national and global orders. With the support of a number of my colleagues (among them Profs. Taiwo\, Grant\, Hassan\, and Gaines)\, I hope to attract students interested in literary\, philosophical\, legal\, and political discourses bearing on African existence\, no matter the modes of polemicity and evidence. Our focus remains African reflections on the purpose of ethical life and moral existence associated with the African past and present\, most certainly modernity and its political\, moral\, and material economies.\n\nLanguages Spoken\nEnglish and French\n\nDEPARTMENTS/PROGRAMS\nAfricana Studies and Research Center\nGRADUATE FIELDS\nAfricana Studies\nGovernment\nResearch\nGrovogui is currently completing two manuscripts. The first (nearly completed) manuscript is titled “Otherwise Human: Human and Humanitarian Rights Traditions.” It explores modern idioms and languages that give expression to the ‘human’ as an actualization of moral choices and ethical commitments to others. In this regard\, it is deeply indebted to theology and ecclesiastic law\, modern idioms of the human as well as related languages of faculties\, capacities\, and rights received their assumed form between the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. Consistently\, it recognizes the role of the late-18th century and early 19th century revolutions in the US\, France\, and Haiti in giving constitutional substance to the idea of human rights through legal guarantees of association public freedoms (civil rights) and private liberties. Beyond the significances attributed to these revolutions\, this manuscript explores the extent to which their encoded freedoms\, rights and liberties informed social movements and cultural and political revolutions around the world. A central claim of this manuscript is that alongside the above traditions there emerge other discrete forms either in direct competition or as complement that nonetheless significantly bolstered the idea of protected human faculties and capacities. The Haitian revolution served as segue to my arguments in this second regard. It is my contention that Haiti revolutionaries belonged also to traditions of civil rights and civil liberties that arose directly from slave societies and extended to anti-colonial movements of self-determination. This traditions – and the related conceptions of civil liberties and civil rights – began with the establishment of Quilombo dos Palmares in Brazil (ca. 1605-1694) with Quilombolas’ attempt to define the terms of freedom and civil existence. I am drawn to Quilombolas' imagining of the terms of life\, the end of purpose of civil existence\, and corresponding institutions. It is significant in this latter that they ‘remembered’ Africa in manners that would also appear in anti-colonial texts. The purpose of the manuscript in this regard to re-open a number of questions\, often imagined already settled\, on modernity\, modern life\, and modern subjectivity\, alongside questions of universalism and relativism and the operations of time and space on the terms and norms of modern existence. Hence. The aim of the book is to bypass the instrumentalization of human rights discourses in favor of an inquiry into genealogies of conceptions of the human and protected faculties beyond the West that flow from the imaginaries and experiences of colonial and postcolonial populations (in the African diaspora) and thus shaped their dispositions toward and expectations of humanitarianism and human rights laws as they relate to the so-called responsibility to protect and humanitarian interventions.\n\nMy second book manuscript (furthest from completion) is the rubric of “Future Anterior: A Genealogy of International Relations and Society”. It examines the ‘past’ of international relations with particular regard to the identities\, values\, and roles of multiple agents\, subjects\, and actors in bringing about international society.  While it extensively discusses the institutionalization of Western power\, interests\, and identity in IR discourses\, the project also makes a case for a separation of the historically expressed Western wills\, desires\, and subjectivities from those projected or embraced by other constituent members of international society.  Specifically\, the project reconsiders the idea of ‘international relations\,’ particularly its manifestation as a field of study\, in light of postcolonial contestations of modern subjectivity and resulting identities and political economies.   Related ‘findings’ are the bases for envisaging a new ethics as well as future political possibilities. The combined purpose of the two projects is to both broaden disciplinary conventions and bring to the fore ideas and intellectual resources of hitherto marginalized actors.\n\nFinally\, I have also completed a ten-year long study of the rule of law in Chad\, in the context of the Chad Oil and Pipeline Project\, funded partly by the National Science Foundation. I hope when I am able to turn my attention to writing up the project to use data opened in the concrete context of Chad to make significant observations on neoliberal applications of the rule of law in Africa as well as the place of Africa in the global political economy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:JOHN DERBY EVANS LECTURE presents Digital Doors: Access\, Disability\, 
and Emerging Technologies
DESCRIPTION:While conventional wisdom holds that new media technologies have enabled new forms of creative\, political\, and interpersonal communication\, these same technologies may exclude people with disabilities and others. As one door opens\, another may shut.\n\nPresenting research from her new book\, Restricted Access: Media\, Disability\, and the Politics of Participation (NYU 2016)\, Ellcessor argues that understanding new media technologies requires us to understand perspectives from the margins. Policies\, industries\, cultural norms\, and granular interactions have created a context in which Americans with disabilities are much less likely to be users (let alone creators) of networked technologies and digital media. This\, ultimately\, is a problem of access.\n\nThis talk will problematize the concept of \"access\,\" illustrating its many connotations in various policy\, academic\, and grassroots contexts. Ellcessor ultimately theorizes access as an intersectional phenomenon that is repeatedly and variably produced. Yet\, if access cannot be taken for granted\, how do we study it? How do we know who \"has\" access? How to we \"give\" access to those who may not have it? Using cultural and disability studies frameworks\, Ellcessor proposes research questions that prioritize the conditions surrounding experiences of access. She then uses these tools to explore digital media accessibility for Americans with disabilities\; technologies have both empowered and excluded these users\, and disabled users have\, in turn\, produced interventions that create access and challenge received wisdom about the value\, uses\, and role of new media in everyday life.\n\nElizabeth Ellcessor is an Assistant Professor of Cinema and Media Studies at Indiana University – Bloomington. Her research focuses on digital media\, disability\, media access\, and performances of online identity.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Colloquium Series
DESCRIPTION:Geometric Quantization is a program of assigning to Classical mechanical systems (Symplectic manifolds and the associated Poisson algebras of $C^\infty$ functions) their quantizations --- algebras of operators on Hilbert spaces.  Geometric Quantization has had many applications in Mathematics and Physics.   Nevertheless the main proposition at the heart of the theory\, invariance of polarization\, though verified in many examples\, is still not proved in any generality.  This causes numerous conceptual difficulties:  For example\, it makes it very difficult to understand the functoriality of theory.\n\nNevertheless\, during the past 20 years\, powerful topological and geometric techniques have clarified at least some of the features of the program.\n\nIn 1995 Kontsevich showed that formal deformation quantization can be extended to Poisson manifolds.  This naturally raises the question as to what one can say about Geometric Quantization in this context.  In recent work with Victor Guillemin and Eva Miranda\, we explored this question in the context of Poisson manifolds which are \"not too far\" from being symplectic---the so called b-symplectic or b-Poisson manifolds---in the presence of an Abelian symmetry group.\n\nIn this talk we review Geometric Quantization in various contexts\, and discuss these developments\, which end with a surprise. Speaker(s): Jonathan Weitsman (MIT and Northeastern University)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Writer to Writer with special guest Philip Deloria
DESCRIPTION:Sweetland Center for Writing's Writer to Writer series lets you hear directly from University of Michigan professors about their challenges\, processes\, and expectations as writers and also as readers of student writing. Each semester\, Writer to Writer pairs one esteemed University professor with a Sweetland faculty member for a conversation about writing.\n\nThis month Writer to Writer welcomes Phil Deloria. Philip J. Deloria is the Carroll Smith-Rosenberg Collegiate Professor in the College of Literature\, Science and the Arts at the University of Michigan\, where he has appointments in the Departments of History and American Culture and the Programs in Environment and Native American Studies. He received his Ph.D. in American Studies from Yale University in 1994\, and came to Michigan in 2001\, following six years at the University of Colorado\, Boulder. Professor Deloria’s research focuses on the social\, cultural and political histories of the relations between American Indians and the United States.

He is in the process of completing American Studies: A User's Guide\, which surveys methods of interpretation and writing\, and Toward an American Indian Abstract\, an extended piece of art criticism.\n\nWriter to Writer takes place at the Literati bookstore and are broadcast live on WCBN radio. These conversations offer students a rare glimpse into the writing that professors do outside the classroom. You can hear instructors from various disciplines describe how they handle the same challenges student writers face\, from finding a thesis to managing deadlines. Professors will also discuss what they want from student writers in their courses\, and will take questions put forth by students and by other members of the University community. If there's anything you've ever wanted to ask a professor about writing\, Writer to Writer gives you the chance.

SUMMARY:Performance:Blue Rodeo w/sg Devin Cuddy
DESCRIPTION:In the beginning critics scrambled to describe Blue Rodeo’s sound\, comparing them to everyone from the Flying Burrito Brothers to the Eagles and the Beatles. Today\, Blue Rodeo is compared to no one. They are the standard to which other bands are now compared. Ever-evolving\, Blue Rodeo’s creativity has endured a lifetime of challenges\, and the band continues to make music that all Canadians can call their own\, and that has defined the idea of alternative country for the whole world. In 2014 Blue Rodeo hit the road and showcased their In Our Nature album with a lengthy tour across the country featuring two sets and almost three hours of music. Fans and critics alike were astounded by the muscle and passion the band continues to possess 27 years after the release of their debut\, Outskirts\, in 1987. Here's a rare intimate chance to hear a legendary presence on the Canadian and world scene.
