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:Lecture / Discussion:’A GREAT LIBRARY EASILY BEGETS AFFECTION’: THE WILLIAM L. CLEMENTS LIBRARY
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Graffagnino grew up in Vermont and has undergraduate and graduate degrees in American History. In a 39-year professional career\, he’s held curatorial and administrative positions at the University of Vermont\, the State Historical Society of Wisconsin\, the Kentucky Historical Society\, and the Vermont Historical Society. He’s published a good deal and spoken widely on American history\, libraries\, historical cartography\, and bibliomania.\n\nSince its opening in 1923\, the Clements has been one of the world’s finest research libraries of early American history. Clements director Kevin Graffagnino’s illustrated presentation details the life and collecting career of Michigan industrialist William L. Clements and the growth of the library Clements built to house his remarkable collection of early Americana. Book collectors\, history buffs\, and everyone else will learn from this talk why the Clements epitomizes the wisdom of Augustine Birrell’s observation. “A great library easily begets affection\, which may deepen into love.” \n\nThis is the first of a six-lecture series. The subject is The Library – Civilization’s Treasure House of Knowledge.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Great Lakes Seminar Series: Looking at Lake Erie Hypoxia From a Different Point of View
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Hypoxia in the central basin of Lake Erie is a well-known phenomenon that has been studied since the 1980s\, and even earlier. Low dissolved oxygen in the bottom water of a stratified lake can be harmful from an ecological perspective by killing benthic organisms that serve as food for fish\, and also by excluding fish from preferred habitat. Hypoxia is caused by excessive nutrient loading\, resulting in excessive algal growth\, which consumes oxygen when it settles to the bottom. Most models of hypoxia are designed to answer the question of how much nutrient load reduction is needed to reduce hypoxia to meet some goal. In addition to being an important ecological resource\, Lake Erie is a source of drinking water to millions of people. Lake dynamics\, including seiches\, internal waves\, and wind-induced upwelling-downwelling\, can cause changing water quality at public water system intakes over a period of a few hours. In order to maintain the quality of treated water\, treatment processes may need to be adjusted in response to changes in temperature\, dissolved oxygen\, pH\, organic matter\, iron\, or manganese at the inlet. We recently began a project to develop a hypoxia forecast model that can provide a real-time nowcast and five-day forecast of temperature and dissolved oxygen for public water systems on Lake Erie in order to provide plant managers with advance notice of events that are likely to produce changing water quality at their inlets. While past studies have focused on deep water and on time scales of years\, our focus is on nearshore water intakes\, on dynamic events that last hours or days\, and on development of an operational forecast model. In this presentation\, I will discuss past and present models and observations of Lake Erie hypoxia\, and what we know and hope to learn about episodes of hypoxia that affect nearshore drinking water intakes.\n\nBio: Mark Rowe works on developing models to understand and predict changes in the physical\, chemical\, and biological characteristics of the Great Lakes. His recent work has focused on development of linked hydrodynamic and biological models to simulate harmful algal blooms and hypoxia in Lake Erie\, and impacts of invasive quagga mussels on primary production\, nutrient cycles\, and the lower food web of Lake Michigan. He has contributed to forecast models that provide timely and actionable information to public water systems\, anglers\, recreational users of Lake Erie.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Wieseneck Symposium: \"Multilingualism in Israeli Literature\"
DESCRIPTION:Until fairly recently\, Israeli literature was understood as essentially monolingual\, created exclusively in Hebrew. In the last few years\, scholars have turned their attention to the many languages in which literature was\, and still is written in Israel. The symposium will bring Institute fellows and leading scholars to explore Israel literature written in Yiddish\, Arabic\, German\, Russian\, and English\, as well as the interplay between these languages and Hebrew. The speakers will explore issues such as translation and self-translation\, the politics of language in literature\, and the historical shifts that enabled or restricted inter-linguistic contacts.\n\n10:40 am—12:30 pm: Session 1: Multilingual Encounters and Dialogues\nChair and Respondent: Liora Halperin\, University of Boulder\n\nShachar Pinsker\, University of Michigan: Between “Loshn-Mame-Koydesh” and the Father Tongue?

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:Performance:CJS Noon Lecture Series | What is Rakugo? Invitation to the 400-year-old Art of Japanese Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Please note: the performers will speak Japanese with a translator interpreting in English.\n\nRakugo is a traditional storytelling performance. The performer sits on a 2′x2′ cushion on the stage and tells a story that may involve several characters. He may stand up on his knees but never on his feet. His only props are a fan and a tenugui (Japanese towel). In this Noon Lecture\, Yanagiya Sankyo\, one of the leading rakugo players in Japan\, and Yanagiya Kyonosuke\, his apprentice\, will introduce and demonstrate the art of this wonderful Japanese culture. A Q&A session will follow the performance.\n\nPerformers:\nYanagiya Sankyo 柳家さん喬 \nYanagiya Kyonosuke 柳家喬之助 \n\nYanagiya Sankyo was born in 1948. He became an apprentice to Yanagiya Kosan V in 1967 and achieved the highest rank of rakugo performer — known as “shin-uchi (真打)” — in 1981. He excels at telling classic stories about human nature. He won a Japan Foundation Award in 2014\, which honors people who help deepen international friendship over the long term. \n\nYanagiya Kyonosuke was born in 1971 and became an apprentice to Sankyo in 1993. He received a shin’uchi (真打) rank in 2007.\n\nCo-organized by the U-M Japanese Language Program & Center for Japanese Studies.\nCo-sponsored by the Agency for Cultural Affairs and the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Arithmetic
DESCRIPTION:The Tate-Shafarevich group\, Sha(E)\, of an elliptic curve E defined over the rational numbers plays an important role in the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture\, but very little is actually known about the structure of this group in general. In this talk we will recall the definition of Sha(E) both as the cokernel of the Kummer map and via its geometric interpretation as a collection of certain isomorphism classes of torsors of E. Using this latter description\, we will introduce one strategy to attempt to understand the behavior of this group (and maybe even try to prove that it is finite). Some prior exposure to elliptic curves and/or group cohomology will be helpful. Speaker(s): Brandon Carter (UM)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Gender Leadership Gap: Barriers and Bias in the Academy and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Miller\, Senior Researcher at the American Association of University Women (AAUW)\, gives the February Emergent Research lecture. About the talk:\n\nIn almost every industry and institution\, men occupy leadership positions at a vastly disproportionate rate. For instance\, in the private sector workforce\, white men in particular are nearly twice as likely to be executives as would be expected by chance. Women now receive the majority of university degrees at almost all levels\, including the doctoral level\, and women now make up the majority of junior faculty and instructors at many colleges and universities. But as in other sectors\, leaders at universities are still disproportionately likely to be men. Will time alone close the gender leadership gap in the academy? What can be done to eliminate the barriers and bias facing women? Kevin Miller of the American Association of University Women will review statistical information and research on the gender leadership gap\, with a focus on issues facing women in the academy.\n\nSponsored by the University Library and the ADVANCE program.\n\nEmergent Research events are aimed at better understanding the various types of research undertaken across campus\, particularly as they relate to library services and support\, opportunities for collaboration\, data management and preservation\, and beyond.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Lecture.  Looking for Inca Presences and Local Strategies for Rearranging the Territory: New Excavations in Cerro Azul\, Peru
DESCRIPTION:With the goal of exploring how the Inca Empire transformed the Andean territory\, the Qhapaq Ñan project initiated a research project at the site of Cerro Azul – “El Huarco” a well-known site at the southern end of the central coast of Peru. We expected to uncover evidence of local strategies that intentionally or unintentionally transformed identities\, polities and social organizations in those years of Inca expansion. The present talk discusses the firsthand results of our latest excavation in the 2016 field season. Initially our data shows there was a long occupation at the site. As a working hypothesis we suggest the site was re-organized during the last occupation. This rearrangement of the site\, which includes the construction of a new plaza\, was contemporaneous with Inca presence on the central coast. Although present at Cerro Azul\, the Inca did not exercise territorial power over the site\, rather this arrangement presented an opportunity for local elites to reshuffle the social and physical landscape of Cerro Azul and in its surrounding territory.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analysis/Probability Learning Seminar
DESCRIPTION:I will present an overview and some proofs from our work with Roman Vershynin.\n\nWe study n by n matrices A with i.i.d. entries. If the entries are also zero mean subgaussian\, then the operator norm ||A|| ~ sqrt(n) with high probability\, but for the distributions with heavier tails the norm can be significantly larger. We were motivated by the question: under what conditions the operator norm of a heavy-tailed matrix can be improved by modifying just a small fraction of its entries (a small sub-matrix of A)? We have shown that this happens exactly when the entries of A have zero mean and bounded variance.\n\nI am going to discuss how enforcing the sqrt(n)-norm for the matrix can be a local or a global problem\, depending on the moments of its entries. As parts of the proof\, I am planning to talk about the relationships among various matrix norms\, discretization of a random variable as a sum of independent Bernoullis\, and Grothendieck-Pietsch factorization for matrices.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Being Killable: Precarization\, Violence and Neoliberal Labor in Contemporary Mexico
DESCRIPTION:Over the past two decades\, the question of violence in Mexico has occupied a considerable amount of attention in different disciplines across the humanities and social sciences. From the Ciudad Juárez femicides and the harrowing experiences of Central American migrants to the rise of criminal organizations and citizen vulnerability\, the experience of violence in neoliberal Mexico has acquired a level of urgency and thus elicited reactive work on the part of scholars in different fields. This paper seeks to systematize the work of scholarship regarding violence in Mexico under the idea of “being killable\,” i.e. the dynamics of socialization and subjectification that determine who is the target of violence across the board. Departing from theories of precarization and labor\, the paper explores different literary and film works\, as well as public interventions and theories\, to contend that violence can be read across two axes: the nature of labor in the neoliberal era and the imagination of subjectivity beyond identity.\n\nIgnacio M. Sánchez Prado is Professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies at Washington University in Saint Louis. His research centers on the relationship between aesthetics\, ideology and cultural institutions in Mexico\, with a particular focus on literature and cinema. He is the author of El canon y sus formas. La reinvención de Harold Bloom y sus lecturas hispanoamericanas (2002)\, Naciones intelectuales. Las fundaciones de la modernidad literaria mexicana (1917-1959) (2009)\, winner of the LASA Mexico 2010 Humanities Book Award: Intermitencias americanistas. Ensayos académicos y literarios (2004-2009) (2012)\; and Screening Neoliiberalism. Transforming Mexican Cinema 1988-2012 (2014). He has edited and co-edited nine scholarly collections\, the most recent of which are Democracia\, Otredad y Melancolía. Roger Bartra ante la crítica (with Mabel Moraña. 2015) and A History of Mexican Literature (with Anna Nogar and José Ramón Ruisánchez\, 2016)\, recently published by Cambridge University Press. He has published over eighty scholarly articles on Mexican literature\, culture and film\, and on Latin American cultural theory.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar: Unexpected responses of disease to global change
DESCRIPTION:With the threat of changing climate\, species invasions\, shifts in land use\, and other anthropogenic changes\, ecologists are increasingly concerned about the emergence and spread of infectious diseases. The common assumption is that environmental changes will facilitate disease spread and increase the risk to humans and species of agricultural and conservation concern. Yet most ecological processes are nonlinear\, and the response of infectious diseases to environmental change is no exception. In this talk\, I will explore two ways in which nonlinearities in disease transmission lead to unexpected responses of disease to environmental change: (1) pathogen spillover from exotic to native plant species\, and (2) impacts of temperature on vector-borne disease transmission. To understand the importance of nonlinearity in these systems\, I use mathematical models fit to empirical data. In both cases the field-parameterized models show\, counter-intuitively\, that environmental change does not necessarily lead to negative disease-mediated outcomes. In fact\, the fungal pathogen is predicted to benefit the native grass species in competition with the invasive grass\, and warm temperatures are expected to decrease malaria transmission in currently heavily-infected areas. These surprising results underscore the importance of integrating models and data to predict responses of disease to environmental change in nature.\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m.\n\nWatch YouTube video: https://youtu.be/gkHBUv3EGgA

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"Visionaries: Second Sight and Social Change in West Africa Since 1800\"
DESCRIPTION:Oxford’s Advanced Learners Dictionary gives the following two primary definitions of the term \"visionary\":\n1. original and showing the ability to think about or plan the future with great\nimagination and intelligence\n-a visionary leader-\n 2. relating to dreams or strange experiences\, especially of a religious kind\n-visionary experiences-\n \nThis talk explores—in the context of Islamic West Africa—these two primary (and inter-related) senses of the meaning of the word \"visionary\": a person who experiences \"visions\" in dreams\, trances\, and waking states and a person who provides inspirational leadership for social change. In short\, it is an examination of the relationship between the \"extra-sensory\" sensorium of religious experiences and social action in the Islamic tradition of the African West. For African Muslim visionaries \"visions\" were often more real than reality itself and thus had the capacity to transform it. But these visions were not limited to seeing\; they were also experiences of sound and smell\, touch and taste. The English language—which favors sight among its five culturally constructed senses—offers no word better to describe such all-encompassing sensory experiences than \"vision.\"\n\nRudolph Ware is an associate professor of history at the University of Michigan. Specializing in premodern West African history\, Professor Ware's research interests include Islam\, popular religious culture\, and race. His book\, The Walking Qur’an Islamic Education\, Embodied Knowledge\, and History in West Africa (2014)\, interrogated the role of Islamic education in shaping Muslim identities\, and examines the ways in which Qur’anic schools have articulated with Sufi orders\, Muslim reformers\, and the state in the recent past. \n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday 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:Foundations of Belief & Decision Making Lecture: Entropy and Indifference
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The Judy Benjamin problem has often been cited as grounds for rejecting the use of entropy maximizing (or information minimizing) methods in Bayesian epistemology. In this talk\, I will present an alternative explanation of the counterintuitive phenomenon that lies at the heart of the Judy Benjamin problem\, in an effort to show that this critique is misguided. While the Judy Benjamin Problem does not invalidate the principle of maximum entropy\, it does serve to bring into sharp relief the prerequisites for its proper application. Reflection on these prerequisites reveals that\, contrary to the claims of E.T. Jaynes\, who was the first to propose that the principle of maximum entropy be viewed as an a priori principle of rationality\, maximum entropy methods should not be viewed as a supplement to the classical Bayesian theory of probabilistic reasoning based on the Laplacean principle of indifference. Rather\, the principle of maximum entropy turns out to be a corollary of Laplacean principle of indifference\, properly understood. I will conclude the talk by showing how the principle of maximum entropy can be used to resolve certain conceptual puzzles in the theory of probabilistic reasoning\, including the apparent cotenability of symmetry and frequency-based assessments of probability.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Law & Economics: Public Information on Past Bankruptcy and the Stigma of Failure for Entrepreneurs
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe analyze how information on past entrepreneurial failure affects an entrepreneurs’ ability to borrow. We exploit a policy shock from 2013 in France\, which eliminated the direct reporting to banks of managers involved in non-fraudulent corporate liquidations by Banque de France. We find that the deflagging makes failed entrepreneurs significantly more likely to restart a business or to borrow from a surviving business\, despite the fact that bankers could find the failure information from other public sources. The effect is stronger for industries where entrepreneurial talent matters more for performance. Restarters create companies that have a higher probability of default.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WINTER 2017 COMMUNICATION & MEDIA SPEAKER SERIES The Difficulty around Diversifying Hollywood's Labor Force and its Circumventions
DESCRIPTION:With less than substantial improvement to its exclusionary hiring practices\, the television and film industries have nevertheless become emboldened in their apathy about the lack of diversity both in front of and behind the camera. Report after report citing the dearth of employment of creative labor of color has had little effect on how the major Hollywood players choose to conduct their business. Certainly\, it is not in their best interest to admit that racial and ethnic diversity is simply a low priority or an unnecessary distraction. However\, no matter how dismal the employment data\, meaningful diversity just doesn’t appear to be a problem for many of those individuals in positions with enough power to do something about it. Still\, how that lack of care discursively emerges is important to note as they often re-direct conversations about employment into discussions of competence and skill—ironically\, concepts that still perpetuate certain ideological beliefs about racial and gendered identity. \n\nRegardless of how many think pieces\, pie charts\, and data graphs that consistently demonstrate how marginalized bodies are not allowed opportunities to prove they can produce quality work\, these normative models disassociate structural racism from common industry practices. The few minority workers who do enjoy some success will always function as evidence that the best talent does indeed rise to the top.  Yet\, such discursive logic obscures that Hollywood is an industry built around relationships\, networking\, internships\, and apprenticeships—a classed set of practices from which people of color are systemically excluded. This talk will address how discourses of Hollywood labor erase classed and racial identity through three key strategies creatives of color employ as a consequence of those practices.\n\nKristen Warner is an Associate Professor in the Department of Journalism and Creative Media at The University of Alabama. She is the author The Cultural Politics of Colorblind TV Casting (Routledge\, 2015). Kristen's research interests are centered at the juxtaposition of televisual racial representation and its place within the media industries\, particularly within the practice of casting. Warner’s work can be found in Television and New media\, Camera Obscura and a host of anthologies and online websites.
