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:Gifts of Art presents Art & Healing: American Indian Textiles & Beads
DESCRIPTION:Suzanne L. Cross\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor Emeritus\, Michigan State University and member of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe\, is a shawl maker and beadwork artist. She created this body of work to increase awareness and emphasize cardiac health for American Indian women by informing\, supporting\, and encouraging self-care and the value of changing life ways. Shawls are symbols of womanhood and are of significance to many American Indian tribal cultures. Now-a-day traditional female dancers complete their regalia by carrying the shawl over their left arm which is closest to the heart\, and the fringe sways to the heartbeat rhythm of the drum.

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:Constructing Gender
DESCRIPTION:Ask U-M students\, alumni\, or fans what symbolizes the University of Michigan\, and you’ll likely hear the Big House\, the Diag\, along with the Michigan Union and the Michigan League. Since they officially opened in 1919 and 1929\, respectively\, the Union and League have been destinations for generations of Wolverines yet few know the rich history of the buildings’ origins or about the architects who brought them both to life: brothers and U-M alums Irving K. and Allen Pond.\n\nThe exhibition\, organized in celebration of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial in 2017\, illuminates the architecture and bustling student life of these iconic buildings using original drawings\, renderings\, photographs\, color studies\, and even dance cards from the Bentley Historical Library\, which serves as the University of Michigan archives. These fascinating documents reveal how the buildings were conceived\, constructed\, and first occupied by students and alumni. Guest curated by Nancy Bartlett of the Bentley Historical Library\, the exhibition reveals how the Ponds meticulously conceived and constructed the two clubs—one for men\, one for women—by weaving ideas about gender and society into the very fabric of the buildings themselves.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, artist Ernestine Ruben (BSDEs ’53) photographed the once-famed industrial complex Willow Run in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Designed by her grandfather\, Detroit architect Albert Kahn\, for the Ford Motor Company\, Willow Run was an exemplar of American defense manufacturing because of its efficient mass-production of B-24 Liberators during World War II.\n\nFor this exhibition\, Ruben overlaid interior views of the now-dormant factory with imagined glimpses into her body’s interior landscape. The resulting compositions seem to breathe energy and light into the stagnant and cavernous spaces of Willow Run and suggest a longing for a productive existence undeterred by mortality for both Willow Run and the artist. Her grandfather’s role in the history of the site underscores Ruben’s personal connection.\n\nThe exhibition presents Ruben’s photographs of Willow Run in UMMA’s Photography Gallery and an original film—co-created by Ruben and video artist Seth Bernstein and featuring an original score by award-winning composer Stephen Hartke—in the Museum’s Forum.\n\nLead support for Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run: Mobilizing Memory is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.\n\n\n\nLead support for Victors for the Arts: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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:Presentation:Diversity Postdoc Talk - CPEP/P&SC Area
DESCRIPTION:Title: Do Adults Matter? Youth-Adult Relationships in the Lives of Adolescents\n\nAbstract: During adolescence\, the sphere of influence typically shifts from parental figures to one that encompasses their broader community. Young people encounter non-parental adults in the community through their social networks and various institutions\, from extended family members and teachers to coaches and staff at youth-serving community organizations. These adults can be important sources of support\, guidance\, and social capital for youth (DuBois\, Portillo\, Rhodes\, Silverthorn\, & Valentine\, 2011\; Hurd and Sellers\, 2013). Mentoring and other forms of adult support can serve as ways to facilitate and promote positive youth developmental outcomes. A series of studies will be presented in which I examine the role of mentor characteristics and mentoring relationship quality to a variety of developmental outcomes\, such as acculturation\, educational outcomes\, and coping efficacy with racial discrimination. I will also present ongoing research on the role of sociopolitical support from adults in college students' educational experiences in service-learning\, and ultimately\, their civic engagement and participation. Because diverse populations of young people are situated in a multi-layered context\, it is important to investigate the role of community-based adults in promoting positive youth development.

DESCRIPTION:The properties of cold dark matter axions strongly depend on the thermal history of the Universe before BBN. I show that axion cold dark matter may be a good probe of the pre-BBN epoch since observational properties like the axion mass\, its velocity dispersion\, and the size of axion miniclusters can be used to distinguish among different scenarios.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we extend the Holmström and Milgrom problem by adding uncertainty about the volatility of the output for both the Agent and the Principal. We study more precisely the impact of the \"Nature\" playing against the Agent and the Principal by choosing the worst possible volatility of the output. We solve the first–best and the second-best problems associated with this framework and we show that optimal contracts are in a class of contracts similar to Cvitanic\, Possamaï and Touzi\, linear with respect to the output and its quadratic variation. We compare our results with the classical problem. Speaker(s): Thibaut Mastrolia (Ecole Polytechnique)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Topological Boundary Modes from Quantum Electronics to Classical Mechanics
DESCRIPTION:Over the past several years\, our understanding of topological electronic phases of matter has advanced dramatically. A paradigm that has emerged is that insulating electronic states with an energy gap fall into distinct topological classes. Interfaces between different topological phases exhibit gapless conducting states that are protected topologically and are impossible to get rid of. In this talk we will discuss the application of this idea to the quantum Hall effect\, topological insulators\, topological superconductors and the quest for Majorana fermions in condensed matter. We will then show that similar ideas arise in a completely different class of problems. Isostatic lattices are arrays of masses and springs that are at the verge of mechanical instability. They play an important role in our understanding of granular matter\, glasses and other ‘soft’ systems. Depending on their geometry\, they can exhibit zero-frequency	‘floppy’ modes localized on their boundaries that are insensitive to local perturbations. The mathematical relation between this classical system and quantum electronic systems reveals an unexpected connection between theories of hard and soft matter. \n\nBio can be found here: http://www.physics.upenn.edu/people/standing-faculty/charles-kane

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Failure Factories: When Education Policies Desert Our Children
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Reception to follow.\n\nThis event will be live webstreamed. Please check back here just before the event for viewing details.\n\nLivingston Award winning journalists and education policy experts discuss \"Failure Factories\,\" the Tampa Bay Times investigation of what happened after the Pinellas County School Board abandoned integration in favor of a neighborhood school system\, and the policy changes prompted by the reports. \n\nAbout the Article: \n\nOn Dec. 18\, 2007\, the Pinellas County School Board abandoned integration. They justified the vote with bold promises: Schools in poor\, black neighborhoods would get more money\, more staff\, more resources. They delivered none of that.\n\nThis is the story of how district leaders turned five once-average schools into Failure Factories.\n\nAbout the Journalists:\n\nLisa Gartner is a writer on the enterprise team at the Tampa Bay Times. In 2016\, she and Times reporters Cara Fitzpatrick and Michael LaForgia won the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting for \"Failure Factories.\" The series also won the Livingston Award\, the Polk Award for Education Reporting\, the Worth Bingham Prize for Investigative Journalism and the Investigative Reporters and Editors Medal\, among other honors. Gartner joined the Times in 2013. She grew up in Wellington\, Florida\, and attended Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. After graduating in 2010\, she joined The Washington Examiner to report on education in the D.C. metro area. At the Times\, Gartner covered Pinellas County Schools and higher education before joining the enterprise team in 2016. \n\nMichael LaForgia is investigations editor at the Tampa Bay Times. He is a Livingston Award winner and has twice won the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting - in 2014 for exposing problems in a Hillsborough County homeless program and in 2016 for the \"Failure Factories\" series. He joined the Times in 2012. \n\nNathaniel Lash joined the Tampa Bay Times in 2015 as an intern and became a data reporter. He was a fellow at The Center for Investigative Reporting\, an intern at Newsday and a news applications developer at The Wall Street Journal. A Livingston Award winner\, Lash graduated from the University of Urbana-Champaign with a degree in news-editorial journalism.  \n\nAbout the policy expert\nTabbye M. Chavous is the director of the National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID) and a Professor of Education and Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan. Her expertise and research activities include social identity development among Black adolescents and young adults\; and diversity and multicultural climates in secondary and higher education settings and implications for students' academic\, social\, and psychological adjustment.\n\nAbout the moderator\nBrian Jacob is the Walter H. Annenberg Professor of Education Policy\, professor of economics\, co-director of the Education Policy Initiative and Youth Policy Lab\, and director of the Ford School’s doctoral program. His research focuses on urban school reform\, virtual schooling and teacher labor markets\; other recent work examines school choice\, education accountability programs\, and housing vouchers. He leads ongoing research collaborations with policymakers and practitioners\, including State of Michigan Department of Education\, DC Public Schools and Miami-Dade Public Schools. Jacob was a school teacher before his graduate studies. Jacob holds a PhD in Public Policy from the University of Chicago and an AB magna cum laude in Social Studies from Harvard University. \n\nAbout the Livingston Awards:\nThe Livingston Awards for Young Journalists at the University of Michigan are the most prestigious honor for professional journalists under the age of 35. Livingston judges\, drawn from the most accomplished figures in the profession\, select winners in local\, national and international reporting. Entries from print\, broadcast and online journalism are judged against one another as technology blurs distinctions between platforms. The prizes are sponsored by the University of Michigan\, the John S. and the Indian Trail Charitable Foundation. The Livingston Awards area program of Wallace House at the University of Michigan\, home to the Knight-Wallace Fellowships for Journalists.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Ford School the Education Policy Initiative and the School of Education.\n\n2017 Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium event

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:This talk will consists first in an overview of recent progresses made in contracting theory\, using the so-called dynamic programming approach. The basic situation is that of a Principal wanting to hire an Agent to do a task on his behalf\, and who has to be properly incenticized. We will show that in general\, this may lead to situations where Agents can be rewarded negatively. We will discuss an extension of these model introducing limited liability\, its solution\, as well as its economic consequences. \n\nThis is mainly based on a joint work with  Anthony Reveillac (INSA Toulouse) and Stephane Villeneuve (TSE).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Translation\, Conversion\, and the Black Body in Colonial Spanish America
DESCRIPTION:Larissa Brewer-García is an Assistant Professor of Spanish at the University of Chicago. She specializes in colonial Latin American studies\, with a focus on cultural productions of the Caribbean and Andes and the African diaspora in the Iberian empire. Within these areas\, her research and teaching interests include the relationship between literature and law\, genealogies of race and racism\, humanism and Catholicism in the early modern Atlantic\, and translation studies. Her current book project\, Beyond Babel: Translation and the Making of Blackness in Colonial Spanish America\, examines the influence of black interpreters and go-betweens in the creation and circulation of notions of blackness in writings from sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spanish America. She is also working on Saints’ Lives of the Early Black Atlantic\, a translation and critical edition of hagiographies of individuals of African descent written in Spanish from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.\n\nPresented by the Law in Slavery and Freedom Project in the U-M Law School and the Institute for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:The moduli space of tropical curves (and its variants) are some of the most-studied objects in tropical geometry. So far this moduli space has only been considered as an essentially set-theoretic coarse moduli space (sometimes with additional structure). As a consequence of this restriction\, the tropical forgetful map does not define a universal curve (at least in the positive genus case). The classical work of Deligne-Knudsen-Mumford has resolved a similar issue for the algebraic moduli space of curves by considering the fine moduli stacks instead of the coarse moduli spaces.\n\nIn this talk I am going to give an introduction to these fascinating moduli spaces and report on ongoing work with Renzo Cavalieri\, Melody Chan\, and Jonathan Wise\, where we propose the notion of a moduli stack of tropical curves as a geometric stack over the category of rational polyhedral cones. Using this $2$-categorical framework one can give a natural interpretation of the forgetful morphism as a universal curve. Moreover\, I will propose two different ways of describing the process of tropicalization: one via logarithmic geometry in the sense of Kato-Illusie and the other via non-Archimedean analytic geometry in the sense of Berkovich.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Israeli Berlin: Jewish Culture in the German Capital\, Then and Now\"
DESCRIPTION:West Bloomfield Lecture Series: Israel in the World\n\nEvery year\, hundreds of Israelis migrate to Berlin\, provoking heated reactions from Israeli critics who see moving to Germany\, of all places\, as an act of desertion. The intensity of the debate surrounding Israelis in Berlin today conceals the fact that Jewish migration to the German capital is not new. Roughly a century ago\, Berlin emerged as a major metropolis and a magnet for Hebrew- and Yiddish-speaking writers from Eastern Europe who\, like Israelis today\, came in search of economic and artistic opportunity. This talk will explore the development of Israeli culture in Berlin through the lens of the past. How can the history of Hebrew and Yiddish culture in Weimar Berlin illuminate the current phenomenon of Israeli “diasporization”? What might this phenomenon tell us about Israeli identity today? \n\nRachel Seelig is a fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. She received her PhD from the University of Chicago in 2011 and has taught German Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Toronto and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She is the author\, most recently\, of Strangers in Berlin: Modern Jewish Literature between East and West\, 1919-1933 (University of Michigan Press\, 2016). Rachel is currently co-editing a volume with Amir Eshel entitled The German-Hebrew Dialogue: Studies of Encounter and Exchange\, which will be published by De Gruyter Press in 2017.\n\nSponsored by: Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies and JCC's Seminars for Adult Jewish Enrichment

It is surprising\, then\, that Physics fails to explain that influence: indeed\, upon extended observation\, those vibrations take on a discrete\, non-\nparametric\, sparse quality beyond the grasp of Calculus. So... how can we understand language?\n\nThis week\, the Celebrated Chengyu will show us the way. We'll discuss Natural Language Processing. We'll meet:\n    3433 EECS\, Wednesday\, 2017-02-01\, 19:00-20:00.\nWe look forward to seeing you there!\n\nIn celebration of Language\, let's each bring an NLP idea or question that interests us. It'll enrich the discussion. Naive questions are good.\n\nMammals: Good Bye!\nMamuel Tenka

SUMMARY:Performance:Susto
DESCRIPTION:The music of SUSTO has been given many labels—Americana\, alt-country\, southern folk\, indie rock\, even gospel—and though these descriptions aren't inaccurate\, they only provide part of the picture. Bandleader and songsmith Justin Osborne’s lyrics bring the full picture into view. He weaves catchy hooks into honest storytelling\, utilizing gothic imagery\, wry humor\, and social commentary to convey his confessional tales. His gravelly\, pitch-perfect voice is the ideal vehicle to bring these heartfelt expressions to the listener and the sincerity he exudes while performing is palpable. Growing up in Puddin’ Swamp\, a small town in rural South Carolina\, Osborne embraced the locals’ clear conversational style of storytelling. Attending the College of Charleston in Charleston\, SC. Justin  was given the opportunity to study abroad in Havana\, Cuba. There he was captivated by the authenticity and honesty of local musicians' lyrics and their ability to bring humor to the darker aspects of life. He began performing around Havana\, and even co-wrote two songs with local musician Camilo Miranda. The willingness of the locals to listen without reservations instilled in Osborne the realization that this—writing music\, performing\, traveling—is what he needed to be doing with his life. By the end of 2013\, Osborne arrived back in Charleston\, driven to succeed and surrounded by a local arts community that not only embraced his music\, but also wanted to be a part of it. In spring 2014\, SUSTO released their self-titled debut album.They have since completed two more North American tours and opened for major acts such as Boston\, Band of Horses\, Iron & Wine\, and Shovels & Rope. They come to Michigan with their sophomore release ready to go.
