SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

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:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. 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.

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:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | 'The Glory of Hope:' A Lens to Unravel the Social Changes in China
DESCRIPTION:Documentary filmmaker Robert Adanto will be joining this presentation.\n\nArtist Wang Qingsong will present an overview of his latest works made during the last ten years which have been inspired by the dramatic transformations that have taken place inside China. His work echoes reality: issues like real-estate development\, massive consumption\, education failure\, migration as well as globalization. What differs from reality in his work are the condensation of problems in which you find out all kinds of conflicts\, contradictions\, and contortions that are narrated in a very humorous manner. \n    \nSince turning from painting to photography in the late 1990s\, Beijing based artist Wang Qingsong has created compelling works that convey an ironic vision of 21st-century China’s encounter with global consumer culture. Working in the manner of a motion-picture director\, he conceives elaborate scenarios involving dozens of models that are staged in film studio sets. The resulting color photographs\, such as “Night Revels of Lao Li”\, and “Can I Cooperate with You?”\, employ knowing references to classic Chinese artworks to throw an unexpected light on today’s China\, emphasizing its new material wealth\, its uninhabited embrace of commercial values\, and the social tensions arising from the massive influx of migrant workers to its cities in “Sentry Post”\, Dormitory” and “Dream of Migrants”. Lately he has continued to explore new media\, video works and film-making in his new venture. \n    \nOver the last twenty years of working for the Chinese contemporary art\, Zhang Fang has been an eyewitness and documenting writer. She has published quite extensively in foreign and Chinese journals introducing the China syndrome which are compounded by multi-faced social\, political\, economic and cultural diaspora. Now a visiting scholar at the U-M Lieberthal-Rogel Center of Chinese Studies\, she has been preparing for an art exhibition and symposium to be premiered in the new gallery space of Stamps School of Art and Design besides giving a seminar course introducing students a perspective into the latest Chinese social and cultural transformations.\n\nRobert Adanto is a Los Angeles native currently based in Miami. A classically-trained actor and documentary filmmaker\, he earned his M.F.A. in Acting from New York University’s Graduate Acting Program and is currently playing Shylock in Shakespeare Miami’s production of \"The Merchant of Venice.\" As a filmmaker\, he is interested in exploring how artists respond to rapid\, sometimes catastrophic change. His documentaries have looked at China’s explosive contemporary art scene (\"The Rising Tide\" 2008)\, the lives and works of Iranian female artists (\"Pearls on the Ocean Floor\" 2010)\, the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the lives of New Orleans-based artists (\"City of Memory\" 2014)\, and radical \"4th wave\" feminist performance in Brooklyn (\"The F Word\" 2015). He is currently working on “Born Just Now\,” a film looking at the Belgrade-based performance artist\, Marta Jovanović. His films have screened at over 40 international film festivals and have been presented at various museums around the world.

DESCRIPTION:Title: Understanding the Role of Parents and Preschool Programs in Supporting Low-Income Children’s School Success\n\nAbstract: This presentation is directed at identifying potential policy remedies for inequality in America with a focus on publicly funded preschool and two-generation programs. To this end\, Study 1 will focus on the conditional impacts of the Head Start program on parents’ investment and discipline practices as a function of their initial skills and abilities. Study 2 will consider the implications of mixed-age classrooms in Head Start for children’s academic and social-behavior development. Finally\, Study 3 will examine whether different forms of publicly funded preschool programs have academic benefits for children through the end of the third grade year. Future research plans will also be discussed.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Lecture.    Building Indios: A Genealogy of Landscape and Political Subjectivity in Peru's Zaña Valley\, 12th-18th Centuries C.E.
DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, I explore the legacies of the Spanish forced resettlement of indigenous peoples in colonial Peru (reducción). Drawing on archaeological research at the site of Carrizales in Peru's Zaña valley\, I begin by examining the immediate impacts of resettlement on indigenous lifeways. I demonstrate that native peoples rapidly and drastically transformed their food-collection and preparation strategies in the wake of resettlement\, sedimenting new relationships with the landscape and with imperial institutions. I then draw on regional archaeological survey and archival research to examine the long-term consequences of reducción in the 17th and 18th centuries\, focusing in particular on the unanticipated consequences of environmental and social change. Based on these results\, I ultimately suggest that a genealogical approach to landscape – one that traces the winding path of engagement between peoples\, environments and political institutions – offers a much richer account of imperial politics than one that focuses only on brief\, violent flashes of political encounters.\" \n    \nParker VanValkenburgh is assistant professor of anthropology at Brown University. He is an archaeologist whose research focuses on landscapes\, politics and environmental change in the Early Modern World – particularly\, in late prehispanic and early colonial Peru. He received his Ph.D. in 2012 from Harvard University and previously held positions at the University of Vermont and Washington University in St. Louis. Since 2008\, he has directed a research project investigating the impacts of Spanish colonial forced resettlement (reducción) on landscapes.

DESCRIPTION:What is a geometry? The Greeks had an answer\, but then the 19th century showed that they didn't have all of them. In this talk we explore a more modern answer to this question---a (G\, X)-structure---describe the geometries that arise in 2 and 3 dimensions from this perspective\, and show how projective geometry can encompass all of these. In particular\, there are paths of projective geometries which exhibit transitions from one geometry to another: we will attempt to explain these geometric transitions. Speaker(s): Feng Zhu (UM)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Laser-cooled Microwave Atomic Clocks at NIST
DESCRIPTION:This talk will provide an overview of the primary frequency standards at NIST. Caesium fountains NIST-F1 and NIST-F2 are employed as national primary frequency standards operating with fractional uncertainties in low 10^-16 range. NIST-F2 is a second-generation standard developed with a cryogenic microwave cavity and flight region. The 80 K atom interrogation environment reduces the uncertainty due to the blackbody radiation shift by more than a factor of 50. \n\nThe second part of this talk will introduce our current efforts in developing laser-cooled atomic clocks for the next generation of GPS satellites. The current generation of atomic clocks used in GPS satellites is based on lamp-excited Rb vapor-cell clock techniques that date back 50 years and while the performance is impressive\, it is unlikely to be further improved by incremental advances on the already very mature technology. Because the uncertainties of onboard clocks are significant contributors to the overall GPS error budget\, there is interest in developing a new generation of robust\, small\, reliable\, and accurate laser-cooled microwave atomic clocks for future generations of the GPS system.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Africa Workshop: Emirs in London: Metropolitan Adventure and Aristocratic Culture in Colonial Nigeria
DESCRIPTION:Moses Ochonu specializes in the modern history of Africa\, with a particular focus on the colonial and postcolonial periods. Recent projects — a book and an article — have however taken him into precolonial topics and periods. Although he teaches survey and topical classes on all regions of Africa (and on all periods)\, his research interest lies in Nigeria. He is the author of three books. His first book is Colonial Meltdown: Northern Nigerian in the Great Depression\, (Ohio University Press\, 2009). His second book is Colonialism by Proxy: Hausa Imperial Agents and Middle Belt Consciousness in Nigeria\, (Indiana University Press\, 2014). His third book\, Africa in Fragments: Essays on Nigeria\, Africa\, and Global Africanity (New York: Diasporic Africa Press\, 2014)\, is a collection of analytical essays on a variety of topics relating to Nigeria\, Africa\, and global African communities. Topics covered in the essays include Afro-Arab relations\; corruption and poverty\; the impact of foreign aid on Africa\; post-colonial nation building\; the structure of the Nigerian state\; the debate on African participation and possible complicity in the Atlantic slave trade\; the challenges of democracy in Africa\; postcolonial African migration to the West\; relations between African Africans and African immigrants in the United States\; African Islam and Islamic extremism\, and more. Ochonu has published over a dozen articles in peer-reviewed journals as well as several chapters in edited volumes. He is working on a fourth book project tentatively entitled \"The Roving Diaspora: Nigerian Muslim Perspectives on Imperial Britain.\" With support in the form of a grant from the Vanderbilt Research Scholars Fellowship\, Dr. Ochonu has been gathering materials for this project\, which analyzes the travel narratives of Northern Nigerian Muslim travelers to Britain in colonial and early postcolonial times. These texts provide us with a tool to understand how African colonial subjects returned the familiar European narrative gaze on Africa. They also provide an entry into scholarly conversations about African narratives in/on Europe and about representations of the metropole in the experiential discourses of colonized peoples. Ochonu was twice the recipient of major fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS). His research has also been supported by awards and fellowships from the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation\, the Ford Foundation\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)\, the American Historical Association\, Franklin Roosevelt Institute\, and the British Library. His op-eds and commentaries on African topics have appeared in TIME magazine\, Chronicle Review/ The Chronicle of Higher Education\, Tennessean.com\, History News Network\, GlobalPost\, Pambazuka\, and several African newspapers and magazines.\n\nSpecializations\n\nModern Sub-Saharan Africa\; colonialism\; postcolonial developments\; political economy\; African social and economic history

SUMMARY:Presentation:Hidden Figures: The Untold Story of the Black Women Who Helped Win the Space Race
DESCRIPTION:College of Engineering\, Women in Science and Engineering (WISE)\, Center for Engineering Diversity & Outreach (CEDO)\, and the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) present: Margot Lee Shetterly\n\nAudiences of all backgrounds will be captivated by the phenomenal true story of the black “human computers” who used math to change their own lives—and their country’s future. Set against the rich backdrop of World War II\, the Space Race\, the Civil Rights Era\, and the burgeoning fight for gender equality\, this talk brings to life the stories of Dorothy Vaughan\, Mary Jackson\, Katherine Johnson\, and Christine Darden\, who worked as mathematicians at NASA during the golden age of space travel. Teaching math at segregated schools in the South\, they were called into service during the WWII labor shortages. Suddenly\, these overlooked math whizzes had jobs worthy of their skills at the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory\, in Hampton\, Virginia. Even as Jim Crow laws segregated them from their white counterparts\, the women of this all-black “West Computing” group helped America achieve a decisive victory over the Soviet Union in the Cold War. They were part of a group of hundreds of black and white women who\, over the decades\, contributed to some of NASA’s greatest successes.\n\nIn this keynote\, Margot Lee Shetterly talks about race\, gender\, science\, the history of technology\, and much else. She shows us the surprising ways that women and people of color have contributed to American innovation while pursuing the American Dream. In sweeping\, dramatic detail\, she sheds light on a forgotten but key chapter in our history\, and instills in us a sense of wonder\, and possibility.\n\n4:00 pm: Keynote with Q&A – Rackham Auditorium\n6:30 pm: Fireside Chat – Stamps Auditorium (North Campus)\n7:15 pm: Reception & Book Signing – Stamps Auditorium (North Campus)\n\nIs RSVP required?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Making Michigan in the Industrial Age: U-M’s Detroit Connection
DESCRIPTION:\"Making Michigan in the Industrial Age: U-M’s Detroit Connection\" will explore the relationship between the university and the city during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Over the course of these decades\, Detroit became an industrial metropolis\, and U-M emerged as one of the nation's leading research universities. This panel will address the political\, economic\, and cultural dimensions of these overlapping histories.\n\nChristopher Newfield (University of California\, Santa Barbara)\, author of Ivy and Industry\, will discuss the university's contribution to managerial culture\, the democratizing potential of public universities\, and the ways in which Emersonian individualism limited this potential. Stefan Link (Dartmouth College) and Noam Maggor (Cornell University)\, co-authors of a forthcoming book on industrialization in the U.S.\, will examine the unique place of the American Midwest\, particularly Detroit\, within national and global patterns of economic development. Anthony Ross (University of Michigan) will survey the relationship between the university and Detroit's industrial elite\, situating the Michigan experience within broader histories of education and industrialization.\n\nStefan Link is an Assistant Professor of History at Dartmouth College. He specializes in economic history\, business history\, and the intellectual history of capitalism. He is currently working on a book manuscript on the global spread of Fordism in the interwar years. Other research projects concern the political history of the early American automobile industry\, the transformation of the world economic order in the 1930s\, and comparative perspectives on American economic development since the Civil War.  Link earned his Ph.D. from Harvard and has been a Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence\, Italy.\n\nNoam Maggor is a historian of the United States in the long nineteenth century\, with a particular emphasis on the emergence of industrial capitalism. His book\, Brahmin Capitalism: Frontiers of Wealth and Populism in America's First Gilded Age  tracks the movement of finance capital from Boston toward far-flung investment frontiers in the trans-Mississippi West in the aftermath of the Civil War.  Maggor is currently a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of History at Cornell University\, where he teaches courses on the history of capitalism and the history of globalization.\n\nChristopher Newfield is a professor of literature and American studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara.  Much of his research is in Critical University Studies\, which links his enduring concern with humanities teaching to the study of how higher education continues to be re-shaped by industry and other economic forces. His new book\, called The Great Mistake: How We Wrecked Public Universities and How We Can Fix Them\, was published in November 2016 and assesses the post-2008 struggles of public universities to rebuild their social missions. \n\nAnthony Ross received his Ph.D. in history from the University of Michigan in 2015. He is currently a Research Associate at the University of Michigan. \n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester event is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Jews and Photography in Britain: New Perspectives in Jewish History and the History of Photography\"
DESCRIPTION:Michael Berkowitz will speak about his recent book\, Jews and Photography in Britain\, the first-ever historical investigation of the Jewish engagement with photography in Britain. It ranges from the work of immigrant Jewish portrait photographers in the mid-nineteenth century to the author's audience with His Royal Highness\, the Duke of Edinburgh (2012) about Prince Philip's friend\, \"Baron\" (Sterling Henry Nahum).  Jews have been involved\, far out of proportion to their number\, in all facets of photography in the UK\, including photojournalism\, portrait studios\, collecting\, applications of photography to the fine arts\, and the emergence of photography criticism and history as distinct fields.  Despite Jews having played such remarkable roles in this overwhelming area of visual culture\, little attention has been paid to ethnic-religious difference\, in part due to photography's problematic and evolving relationship to what was deemed 'respectable' and proper 'art.'  To be sure\, Britain expressed tolerance and foresight in (almost always) allowing Jewish photographers to flourish\, providing refuge to the Warburg Institute\, and welcoming individuals fleeing Nazism such as Helmut Gernsheim and Stefan Lorant.  Yet as a nation it squandered the opportunity—especially that afforded by the offer of Helmut Gernsheim's astounding collection—to provide a permanent institutional home for a serious engagement with photography.\n\nBerkowitz also will discuss what he has learned about the subject since the book's publication—including revelations about his own mishpokhe in British photography\, and connections between Jews and other minority communities.\n\nImage courtesy of Yablon Collection\, Jewish Historical Society of England\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:Student Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:The theory of differential operators and modules over them (so called D-modules) has had many applications in many fields of math - most notably\, the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence (analysis) and the proof of the Kazhdan-Lusztig conjecture (representation theory). In this talk I will start by introducing the notion of differential operators on both the affine and the geometric setting together with many examples and nice results. I will then give a rough idea of their involvement in the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence.\n Speaker(s): Eamon Quinlan (UM)

SUMMARY:Film Screening:\"The F Word\"
DESCRIPTION:\"THE F WORD\" explores radical \"4th wave\" feminist performance through interviews with a new generation of feminist artists who use their bodies as subject matter. Because the female body continues to be politicized and policed\, and because these artists delve into the fecund territory of female sexuality\, self- objectification\, and the female form as a site of resistance\, many remain marginalized by the mainstream art world. Brooklyn-based Leah Schrager\, well known for her performance practice\, Naked Therapy\, states\, \"As soon as you introduce a bit of sexiness or sexuality into an artwork it suddenly becomes questionable.\n\nJust because something elicits arousal or shows elements of sexiness does absolutely not make it not art.\" While some 4th wave artists\, like Ann Hirsch and Kate Durbin\, choose to analyze representations of female identity through digital media\, others\, like the radical\, queer\, transnational feminist art collective\, Go! Push Pops\, explore sexuality and gender in pop culture in the digital age. As feminist lecturer Kristen Sollee explains\, 4th wavers\, unlike their predecessors\, \"are not afraid to be 'girly'\, (or) to be hyper-feminine\, or to wear a mini-skirt\, to self-objectify\" in the service of challenging patriarchal oppression or sexist ideals.\n\nFeatured artists: Narcissister\, Ann Hirsch\, Go! Push Pops\, Leah Schrager\, Kate Durbin\, Rebecca Goyette\, Rachel Mason\, Rafia Santana\, Damali Abrams\, Faith Holland\, Claudia Bitran\, Michelle Charles\, and Sadaf. In addition\, the film features Dr. Kathy Battista\, Director of Contemporary Art at Sotheby’s Institute of Art\, New York and author of Re-negotiating the Body: Feminist Artists in 1970s London (IB Tauris\, 2012)\, as an on-screen expert\, as is noted art critic and curator\, Nancy Princenthal.\n\nRobert Adanto is a Los Angeles native currently based in Miami. A classically-trained actor and documentary filmmaker\, he earned his M.F.A. in Acting from New York University’s Graduate Acting Program and is currently playing Shylock in Shakespeare Miami’s production of The Merchant of Venice. As a filmmaker\, he is interested in exploring how artists respond to rapid\, sometimes catastrophic change. His documentaries have looked at China’s explosive contemporary art scene (The Rising Tide 2008)\, the lives and works of Iranian female artists (Pearls on the Ocean Floor 2010)\, the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the lives of New Orleans-based artists (City of Memory 2014)\, and radical \"4th wave\" feminist performance in Brooklyn (The F Word 2015). He is currently working on Born Just Now\, a film looking at the Belgrade-based performance artist\, Marta Jovanović. His films have screened at over 40 international film festivals and have been presented at various museums around the world.
