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:Lecture / Discussion:Atlantic Circulations: The Travels of Slaves and Ex-Slaves in the Era of Revolutions
DESCRIPTION:The middle passage was never the exclusive (or most terrible) means by which Africans or men and women of African descent circulated through the Atlantic World. Even as slavery remained an institution share by most American colonies or independent nations\, Africans boarded ships to Louisiana\, Guiana\, Saint-Domingue\, and Brazil. They had interests in these places (familial\, commercial\, religious\, etc.) and thus risked travel and its consequences. Slaves\, of course\, also circulated as sailors\, domestics\, and fugitives. Some were sent to Europe as gifts or to learn a new skill. After successive abolitions of slavery\, Africans came to the Americas\, sometimes on the same boats that preceding generations had travelled as captives. Their status was that of indenture servants\, “rescued” from slavery in Africa to work (quitelike slaves) in the plantations of post-slavery New World. These many ways of crossing the oceans and seas will be our topic. We will unveil them to understand how they have been important\, early dimensions of the Black Atlantic. \n\n- Céline Flory (EHESS\, visiting professor in the Department of History): “Emancipation without Freedom: The Practice of African Captive ‘Repurchase’ in the French Post-slavery Era”\n- Jessica Marie Johnson (John Hopkins University): “Crossings/La Traversée: African Women in New Orleans' Atlantic World before 1769”\n- Jennifer Palmer (University of Georgia): “The Other Side of the Atlantic: Slavery and Servitude in Eighteenth-Century La Rochelle.”\n\nChair:\n- Martha Jones (University of Michigan)\nComments:\n- Jean Hébrard (EHESS and University of Michigan).

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:Lecture / Discussion:Archival Methods and American Literature
DESCRIPTION:Please join us as three esteemed scholars discuss how archival research shapes the practice of American literary and cultural history in the 21st century. Panelists will share stories about their experiences using archives and discuss how archival work can facilitate cross-disciplinary efforts in the humanities. \n\nPanelists:\n\nEric Slauter\, Director of The Karla Scherer Center for the Study of American Culture\, Associate Professor of English at the University of Chicago\, focuses his scholarship chiefly on transformations in political thought and behavior in the eighteenth century.  He has a strong interest in the material history of books\, and completed a project\, Walden’s Carbon Footprint: People\, Plants\, Animals\, and Machines in the Making of an American Classic. A blend of environmental\, labor\, and literary history\, the project examines the supply-chain of raw materials in the 1854 first edition of Thoreau’s book (from cotton-based paper and linen thread to animal-skin glue)\, considers the many people who contributed to its production (including enslaved African-Americans in the South\, commodity brokers\, northern mill workers\, European rag-pickers\, and women and children in the printing trades)\, and reflects on the literary genealogy of our contemporary desire to know the origin as well as the environmental and social impact of objects in our daily lives.  Eric will also be lecturing on Thursday\, Febuary 2 at 4:00 PM at Angell Hall\, Room 3154 on his project Walden’s Carbon Footprint: People\, Plants\, Animals\, and Machines in the Making of an American Classic.\n\nCathleen Baker\, Conservation Librarian Emerita (U of M)\, is a paper and book conservator and educator for more than forty-five years in England and the United States.  She is the author of numerous articles and books including By His Own Labor: The Biography of Dard Hunter (2000) and the award-winning From the Hand to the Machine. Nineteenth-Century American Paper and Mediums: Technologies\, Materials\, and Conservation (2010). \n\nSusan (Scotti) Parrish - Susan Scott Parrish is an Associate Professor in the Department of English Language and Literature and the Program in the Environment at the University of Michigan\; she is also a Fellow at the Graham Environmental Sustainability Institute (UM).  Her book American Curiosity: Cultures of Natural History in the Colonial British Atlantic World (UNCP\, 2006) was awarded the Jamestown Prize and the Ralph Waldo Emerson Prize\; the Emerson prize is given by the Phi Beta Kappa Society to one book each year for its contribution to understanding “the intellectual and cultural condition of humanity.”

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:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Fridays at Noon Lecture Series. On anti-mindfulness versus wound-as-guide: competing figures of lay and ascetic coping with chronic pain in Thailand
DESCRIPTION:In the last ten years\, there has been a worldwide surge in mindfulness as an approach to coping with chronic pain\, fueled partly by a turn away from opiates for palliation and toward more functionality-based models that require pain sufferers to incorporate their pain into daily life. In this talk\, I use fieldwork with chronic pain patients in Thailand to question the core assumptions of this mindfulness movement\, as well some core assumptions in contemporary scholarship on Buddhism\, with dramatic stakes for individuals navigating lives full of pain. Chronic pain patients in Thailand have almost universally concluded that mindfulness as a practice worsens their pain\, and have thus turned instead to various forms of \"anti-mindful\" but deeply Buddhist practice\, combining various chimeras of Buddhist teachings on loving-kindness\, karma and non-self instead to help them manage their pain. I compare the experiences of these practitioners to ascetic monks also suffering from chronic pain\, who have begun to use their pain to unsettle the assumed relationship between suffering and enlightenment\, pointing to the brutal reality of liberation as an all-or-nothing state of being. I include a in-depth analysis of one monk\, who uses his own tumor with a dramatic wound as a teaching tool to demonstrate this paradox about enlightenment. The result of this analysis is a new way of viewing \"Buddhisms\" as multiple overlapping and contingent ways of viewing the world that practitioners -- lay and monastic alike -- constantly reconfigure to deal with the ever-changing reality of their pain. As a practicing physician\, I conclude with the stakes of this debate both for my own care for chronic pain patients in clinics in Thailand and the U.S.\, and for the global quest to find non-pharmacological technologies to guide the way through painful lives.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Symposium: From Archives to Nail Guns: Practical Applications of Graduate History Training
DESCRIPTION:Learn how a team of graduate students from diverse fields and chronological specializations collaborated to produce the exhibit “The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan” (on display at the Hatcher Graduate Library Gallery\, Room 100\, until February 25). Turned loose in the archive to find compelling stories\, they identified four episodes in U-M history around which to organize the exhibit. The challenge then became interpreting those stories for a visual medium\, linking them thematically\, and constructing a physical exhibit that conveyed those connections. Members of the student team will talk about the challenges and rewards of this project\, how it intersected with their graduate training\, and what they learned by having to take into account a variety of stakeholders as they developed historical interpretations.\n\nFeaturing:\nMichelle McClellan (Assistant Professor\, History\, Residential College)\nJonathan Farr (Lecturer\, History)\nNora Krinitsky (Doctoral Candidate\, History)\nEmily Price (Doctoral Candidate\, History)\nKate Silbert (Doctoral Candidate\, History and Women's Studies)\n\nFree and open to the public. Lunch provided. \n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Politicized Science: Why Evidence Still Matters
DESCRIPTION:If values are ubiquitous in science\, and I think they are\, then we can no longer use the presence of values to discriminate between good and bad science. Some scientific hypotheses can be empirically well-supported and value-laden. How? Much depends on the nature of empirical support\, and the definition of values. I have argued that values can function as empirical claims\, and that where relevant and well-supported by evidence\, values can increase the empirical strength of particular scientific theories. My argument has been referred to as the “values as evidence” approach. This approach is particularly important for explaining the salutary effects in scientific research of some feminist values\, and the negative effects of all sexist values. In this paper I respond to recent feminist concerns with my approach. In defense of the values as evidence view\, I focus on the need to rethink the nature of our political values\, including our feminist values. We need to examine where even our most cherished political values come from and why we hold them. This means recognizing the contingency of our values\, and the importance of subjecting them to critical scrutiny. I show that the evidence-based nature of these values is neither a weakness nor an idealization. Abandoning the quest for certainty\, embracing pragmatic inquiry\, muddling through with our fallible inductive inferences\, these are the best practices we’ve got\, in science as in politics\, and perhaps especially in politically-informed science. As the history of political revolution reminds us\, it’s also our only hope.\n\nPresented by IRWG's Feminist Science Studies program.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Interdisciplinary Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:The mean first exit time\, escape probability and transitional probability density are utilized to quantify dynamical behaviors of stochastic differential equations with non-Gaussian\, alpha-stable type Levy motions. Taking advantage of the Toeplitz matrix structure of the time-space discretization\, a fast and accurate numerical algorithm is proposed to simulate the nonlocal Fokker-Planck equations on either a bounded or infinite domain. Under a specified condition\, the scheme is shown to satisfy a discrete maximum principle and to be convergent. The numerical results for two prototypical stochastic systems\, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck system and the double-well system are shown. Speaker(s): Xiaofan Li (Illinois Institute of Technology)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry
DESCRIPTION:The Zimmer Program is a collection of conjectures and questions regarding actions of lattices in higher-rank simple Lie groups on compact manifolds.  For instance\, it is conjectured that all non-trivial volume-preserving actions are built from algebraic examples using standard constructions.  In particular --- on manifolds whose dimension is below the dimension of all algebraic examples --- Zimmer's conjecture asserts that every action is finite. With D. Fisher\, S. Hurtado\, we recently solved Zimmer's conjecture for actions of cocompact lattices in Sl(n\,R)\, n>=3.\n\nI will give an overview of our proof and explain some of the ingredients used in that proof: Zimmer cocycle superrigidity\, Ratner's measure classification theorem\, strong property (T)\, and smooth ergodic theory\nof actions of higher-rank abelian groups.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminar | The Black Hole Causality Paradox
DESCRIPTION:The black hole information paradox is really a combination of two problems: the causality paradox and the entanglement problem. The causality paradox arises because in the semiclassical approximation infalling matter gets causally trapped inside its own horizon\; it is therefore unable to send its information back to infinity if we disallow propagation outside the light cone. We show that  the causality paradox can be resolved by local effects in the fuzzball paradigm\, and contrast this resolution with other proposed paradigms where nonlocal effects like wormholes are required to exist.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ryle-ing the Irreal: sensory imagining as knowing about sensing
DESCRIPTION:Gilbert Ryle claims that perception involves both sensation and thought. Sensory imagining\, he holds\, though usually considered to involve something like the recreation of sensation\, in fact involves only the deployment of perceptual thought. Ryle thus offers the most radical alternative to the account of imagining that has dominated thinking in both philosophy and psychology.\n\nUltimately\, Ryle’s radical anti-sensationalism proves untenable. Nonetheless\, in theorizing the imagination much can be learned from his emphasis on the role of thought or knowledge\, and his de-emphasisising the role of anything like sensation. I try to say more about the kind of knowledge in play\, and to use that to capture various important aspects of sensory imagining. I concede that perceptual thought alone cannot be all there is to such imaginative states. The residue can be distinguished sharply from perceptual sensation\, and its role in imagining can\nbe circumscribed\, but its existence must be acknowledged.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combinatorics
DESCRIPTION:Let A be an abelian group. A colored sum free set of A is a list (a_1\,b_1\,c_1)\, (a_2\,b_2\,c_2)\, ...\, (a_N\,b_N\,c_N) of triples of elements of A such that a_i+b_j+c_k=0 if and only if i=j=k. Extremal combinatorialists aim to construct large colored sum-free sets\, both because it is fun and because it has applications in the construction of fast matrix multiplication algorithms. Note that\, if X is a subset of A with no three term arithmetic progressions\, then the set of (x\,-2x\,x) for x in X is a colored sum-free set\, so bounds on colored sum-free sets are in particular bounds on sets without 3-term arithmetic progressions. Until May of 2016\, the best such bounds were of the form A^(1-o(1)). Last May\, Ellenberg and Gijswijt\, building on work of Croot\, Lev and Pach\, proved bounds of the form A^c for c Speaker(s): David Speyer (U. Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Recon and Implications of the November 14th Mw 7.8 Kaikoura Earthquake (New Zealand)
DESCRIPTION:The recent MW 7.8 Kaikoura Earthquake in New Zealand was one of the largest in New Zealand history and produced some of the largest surface displacements ever observed in a continental earthquake. Initial observations of faulting and landsliding are troublesome to the hazards community. Surface rupture of at least nine different faults\, both on land and offshore\, accommodated upper plate transpression at the interface between continental strike-slip faulting and subduction. The complex and widespread array of faults that ruptured have virtually every possible orientation and slip sense\, ranging from sinistral normal to pure strike-slip and dextral reverse faults. The earthquake involved coeval rupture of both low slip rate (< 1 mm yr-1) and high slip rate (~20 mm yr-1) faults\, ruptured through some preexisting fault scarps while passing over others\, and jumped over important plate boundary faults. Over 80\,000 landslides and have been identified\, with hundreds damming streams and potentially posing a flooding hazard in the coming months. Some of the largest landslides were seemingly related to fault surface rupture rather than strong ground motions. Determining the relationship between fault structure at depth\, surface rupture patterns\, strong ground motions\, fault triggering mechanisms\, and landslide hazard are key research directions that are being explored. Lessons from this earthquake other recent earthquakes in New Zealand have important implications for seismic hazard.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | The Interjacent Intellectual:  Conceptual Struggles for Authenticity in Three Indian Philosophers
DESCRIPTION:For Surendranatha Dasgupta and his contemporaries in late colonial and early post-colonial India\, the “impossible meeting” of East and West was not an abstract puzzle in the theory of interculturalism but a challenge to find an authentic interpretation of lived experience. What does authenticity consist in for a thinker as much rooted in two life-worlds\, and as much thereby alienated from either? In the philosophical and non-philosophical writings of S. Dasgupta\, K.C. Bhattacharya\, A.C. Mukherji\, S. Radhakrishnan\, and others\, questions of selfhood and subjectivity became\, for good reason\, dominant preoccupations. I will speak about their explorations of the phenomenology of interjacency and its relationship to the search for authenticity.\n\nJonardon Ganeri’s research interests are in consciousness\, self\, attention\, the epistemology of inquiry\, the idea of philosophy as a practice and its relationship with literary form\, case-based reasoning\, multiple-category ontologies\, non-classical logics\, realism in the theory of meaning\, the history of ideas in early modern South Asia\, the polycentricity of modernity\, cosmopolitanism and cross-cultural hermeneutics\, intellectual affinities between India\, Greece and China\, and early Buddhist philosophy of mind. Ganeri teaches courses in the philosophy of mind\, the nature of subjectivity\, Buddhist philosophy\, the history of Indian philosophical traditions. He also supervises PhDs on Indian philosophical texts in classical Sanskrit.\n\nGaneri’s books include Attention\, Not Self\; The Self: Naturalism\, Consciousness\, and the First-Person Stance\; The Lost Age of Reason: Philosophy in Early Modern India 1450–1700\; The Concealed Art of the Soul\; and Philosophy in Classical India: The Proper Work of Reason. He has published in Mind\, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research\, the Australasian Journal of Philosophy\, Isis\, New Literary History\, Philosophy and Literature\, Synthese\, Analysis\, Philosophy\, in major Indology journals\, and is on the editorial boards of The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy\, Philosophy East & West\, Journal of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research\, the Journal of Hindu Studies and other journals and monograph series. Ganeri is currently editing the Oxford Handbook of Indian Philosophy\, drafting scripts about Indian Philosophy for the podcast History of Philosophy without any Gaps\, and thinking about philosophy\, cosmopolitanism\, and anti-coloniality.\n\nGaneri advocates an expanded role for cross-cultural methodologies in philosophical research\, together with enhanced cultural diversity in the philosophical curriculum. He strives to collaborate with philosophers\, phenomenologists\, cognitive scientists\, historians\, anthropologists\, sinologists\, persianists\, buddhologists\, classicists\, and logicians. Ganeria is an Affiliated Faculty member of the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World. He is a Fellow of the British Academy\, and laureate of the Infosys Prize in the Humanities. He has been named by Open Magazine one of India’s “50 Open Minds” in 2016.\n\nCosponsored by the Departments of Philosophy and Asian Languages and Cultures.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:En Español: Sounds of the Hispanosphere Lecture: Louise K. Stein\, musicology
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the continuity of musical associations and conventions throughout the early modern Hispanic world in the time of Miguel de Cervantes\, using both live and recorded musical examples. Points of contact between the real world and a densely woven imaginary world are plentiful in Cervantes’ writings. Cervantes relies on the power of music and its ability to deceive or surprise. Every strum of the guitar may bring several possible hearings. His work is embedded in an incompletely recovered musical tradition whose traces are audible\, though unwritten improvisatory practices shaped performance and conveyed meaning across social levels and geography. See January 29 for more information on the festival.
