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.

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 UID:33962-4826199@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33962 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, 2nd Floor Hatcher CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161128T132138 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161130T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161130T100000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Causal Inference in Education Research Seminar (CIERS) DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nPlace-based “Promise” scholarship programs – Tennessee Promise\, Kalamazoo Promise\, and an array of other state and city initiatives – cut through the complexities of college price with a simple message: free college for any qualified high school graduate. Such initiatives have been shown to increase college enrollment\, but some worry that students who choose college because of a Promise scholarship may be ill suited to succeed without further institutional and individual support. We examine the effect of Knox Achieves\, a local last-dollar scholarship based in Knox County\, Tennessee\, on student persistence\, transfer\, and attainment from Tennessee public colleges and universities. Knox Achieves is an interesting test case because it served as the model for Tennessee Promise\, a statewide last-dollar aid program whose introduction preceded a 10% gain in freshmen enrollment across the state. Preliminary treatment effect estimates suggest that Knox Achieves students completed 4-6 more college credits than matched and ineligible students within four years of high school\, and that they were 3-5 percentage points more likely to attain a postsecondary certificate or associate’s degree. Participating students were less likely to enroll in a four-year college in the years following high school graduation\, however\, and their relative bachelor’s degree completion remains to be seen.

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:44929-10012332@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:20161121T095149 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161130T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161130T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Avant Garden: Weaving Fashion and Nature Together DESCRIPTION:Avant Garden explores plants’ long-standing role as the versatile source of raw materials for textiles and the inspiration for the designs\, colors\, and shapes that fashion takes.

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.

For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

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.

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.

It is people\, engagement\, and community. Our unique experiences and emotional connections to that place give us that “sense of place.” The research shows that placemaking matters more than ever because the competition for attracting and retaining a talented workforce is no longer with neighboring communities or states\, but with the global community. Michigan is rich with examples of placemaking\, but we need to keep the conversation going if we are going to stay competitive. Join Dan for an engaging presentation and discussion around why placemaking is so important as an economic development strategy. \n\nDan Gilmartin is the executive director & CEO of the Michigan Municipal League. Through his work with communities\, Dan is recognized as a national leader in the fields of urban revitalization\, placemaking\, local government reform\, and transportation policy. Under his leadership\, the League was recognized by Crain's Detroit Business as a “Cool Place to Work” in 2011.\n\nModel D Media recently referred to him as “an urban thinker with an eye for the small\, oft-unnoticed changes that can make ‘places’ out of streets and buildings.”\n\nDan serves as a member of the Michigan Future\, Inc. Leadership Council and on the Placemaking Leadership Council. He recently served as a member of the board of directors of the National League of Cities. Prior to his current position\, Dan served for four years as the lead advocate for Michigan’s communities in Lansing and in Washington\, where he concentrated on a number of key issues including transportation\, land use\, and urban redevelopment.\n\nIn 2010\, Dan added radio talk show host to his resume as host of The Prosperity Agenda on News/Talk 760 WJR\, which is Michigan’s highest-rated talk station and can be heard throughout the Midwest and Canada. He is a frequent blogger and a contributing author to the books The Economics of Place: The Value of Building Communities Around People and the recent followup Economics of Place: The Art of Building Great Communities. Dan is a frequent speaker on matters pertaining to cities and villages. In 2012\, he was selected as the Strategic Association Leader of the Year by the Michigan Society of Association Executives.\n\nSponsored by: University of Michigan Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\nCo-Sponsor: UM Taubman College Architecture & Urban Planning\nFor more information visit www.closup.umich.edu or call 734-647-4091.

This involvement has included my role as lead author of the widely-read change “Manifesto” of the College Music Society national task force\, addresses at conferences of the National Association of Schools of Music\, appearances at many symposia and music schools/departments around the world\, and extensive writing on the topic. Although I am energized by the ever-growing wave of efforts toward reform in our field\, I have at the same time never been more convinced of the need for an entirely new level of visioning if an artistically viable\, and socially just\, music learning paradigm is to emerge. In this talk\, I elaborate on this viewpoint through the lens of diversity\, and more particularly—race.\n\nMy central argument is that even amid escalating appeals to expand the cultural horizons of music studies\, African-American music often remains at the periphery in these deliberations. While most reform advocates would likely share my concern about the ethnocentric horizons of the conventional curricular framework\, I take the next step and suggest that the change community itself may be prone to this problem. I examine this from two perspectives\, one rooted in social justice concerns\, the other the formidable artistic/pedagogical tools—with improvisation central among these—that black music offers 21st century musical navigation.\n\nFrom the first standpoint\, the resurgent and highly-charged conversations on black-white racial dynamics of recent years\, with corresponding activism taking place on college campuses and city streets\, provide a vivid backdrop against which—one would think—the place of black music in music curricula would loom large in reform conversations. Unfortunately\, this has not been the case. When\, from a second perspective\, one looks at the creative foundations\, breadth\, rigor\, and integrative properties inherent in African-American music\, the neglect of this resource becomes all the more conspicuous. As I argue below\, black music has the capacity to provide entirely new foundations for a wide swath of themes—from improvisation\, composition\, and transcultural musicianship to technology\, self-sufficiency\, and entrepreneurship—that are prominent in reform conversations. In short\, as I title a chapter in a new book (Sarath\,Myers\,Campbell 2016): “Black Music Matters.”\n \nI will discuss a course that I will be offering next term with this title\, and also a national project I plan to launch\, with U-M as the hub.\n \nBio:\n Ed Sarath is Professor of Music\, Interim Director of the Center for World Performance Studies\, and Director\, Program in Creativity and Consciousness Studies at the University of Michigan. Active worldwide as performer\, composer\, author\, and change visionary. He is founder and President of the International Society for Improvised Music.

The Fall of the Berlin Wall: The Making of a Global Iconic Event DESCRIPTION:This talk contemplates how particular events become lasting global myths\, while others fade into oblivion. What comes to be known and seen as a global iconic event? Focusing on news coverage of the fall of the Berlin Wall and on contemporary retellings of the event\, Sonnevend discusses how storytellers build up certain events so that people remember them for a long time. The East German border opening that we know as the “fall of the Berlin Wall” was in fact unintentional\, confusing\, and prompted in part by misleading media coverage of bureaucratic missteps. But its global message is not about luck or accident or happenstance in history. Incarnated as a global iconic event\, the fall of the Berlin Wall has come to communicate the momentary power that ordinary people can have. The event’s story\, branded as a simple phrase\, a short narrative and a recognizable visual scene\, provides people from China to Israel to the United States with a powerful social myth. This myth shapes our debates about separation walls and fences\, borders and refugees\, and the possibilities of human freedom to this day. \n \nJulia Sonnevend is assistant professor of communication studies at the University of Michigan. She has held fellowships at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem\, the Centre for Contemporary History in Potsdam\, and the Yale Center for Cultural Sociology in New Haven. Her interdisciplinary research examines the role of media events\, rituals\, performances and icons in global culture. Sonnevend is author of Stories Without Borders: The Berlin Wall and the Making of a Global Iconic Event (Oxford University Press\, 2016) and co-editor of Education and Social Media: Toward a Digital Future (MIT Press\, 2016). She received her Ph.D. in Communications from Columbia University and her Master of Laws degree from Yale Law School.

Special attention is given to the case of a thermal CFT with a BTZ dual. This is based on 1604.02687. The key observation behind the equivalence is the fact that the entanglement entropy behaves as a Liouville field. I will point out how the two proposals have recently converged (in 1604.03110 and 1606.03307) into a generalized notion of kinematic space as the space of pairs of CFT points.

The focus of this group will be on the transition of retirement and the challenges that come with it -- from questions like \"How will I define myself?\" to “How will I establish priorities and spend my time?”\n\nThe series will help you plan for the non-financial aspects of retirement\, such as redefining who you are\, revisiting what is most important to you\, exploring new interests and opportunities\, and maintaining social connections. You will also learn about what researchers find makes for a fulfilling retirement.\n \nThis series has the capacity for 14 participants\, and is open to all U-M staff\, faculty and students\, as well as the general public.

It is often assumed that the ongoing state of war between the two Koreas prevented all media from crossing the thirty-eighth parallel. However\, this is not entirely true. Focusing on a series of open letters written by writers in North Korea to their friends and colleagues in the South\, this presentation explores the real as well as imagined ways in which literature of this period crossed the thirty-eighth parallel. In so doing\, it attempts to outline a more complicated and nuanced understanding of what \"division literature\" meant in Korea across these tumultuous years.\n\nI Jonathan Kief is a Korea Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at the Nam Center for Korean Studies. He received his Ph.D. in 2016 from the Department of East Asian Languages & Cultures and the Institute for Comparative Literature & Society at Columbia University. Narrated through the lens of a series of debates about the term \"humanism\" in mid-twentieth-century Korea\, his dissertation offered one of the first in-depth attempts to write a connected history of postcolonial North and South Korean literature. While at the Nam Center\, he is preparing his book manuscript for publication.

Countering hegemonic accounts of the ‘crisis’ as judgment and distinction (κρίσις) between perpetrators and disempowered victims\, or as a one-way street without alternatives\, these interventions recast crisis as decision between multiple options. By mobilizing the middle voice\, they seek grammars that can accommodate voices of the dispossessed and generate alternative narratives of the present.

With only five parameters (the density of atoms\, the density of matter\, the age of the universe\, the amplitude of fluctuations in the early universe and their scale dependence)\, this model can fit a host of astronomical observations. We have now determined these basic parameters at the few percent level or better. While simple\, our universe is very strange. Atoms make up only 5% of the universe\, most of the universe is made of mysterious dark matter and dark energy. We do not understand how the universe began or why there is more matter than anti-matter. I will review our current understanding and look forward to future measurements that can address these big open questions.\n\nLorch Hall\n611 Tappan Street\, Ann Arbor\, 48109\n\nThe coffee/cookie reception will be held in the Lorch Hall main lobby\, which is located directly outside of the auditorium (140 Lorch Hall). \n\nThe reception will begin at 3:30 pm and the lecture starts at 4:15 pm.

In this talk\, I will summarize findings from psychological science concerning the causes and consequences of children’s gender attitudes\, with the goal of providing concrete recommendations to parents and teachers for how best to address gender issues with preschoolers\, children\, and adolescents. New trends in gender socialization\, including the sexualization of girls and use of single-sex programming and classrooms\, will be discussed.
