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:Exhibition on View: Practice Sessions No. 4
DESCRIPTION:House is a House is a House is a House is a House Exhibition will be on view February 21 - 24\nFounder and Principal\, Mark Lee\, and Director of Design\, Anton Schneider of Johnston Marklee will lead twenty-four students in a four-day design charette. Located in the  College Gallery\, the work-in-progress is on view to the Taubman community and the public.\nMark Lee is a principal and founding partner of the Los Angeles-based architecture firm Johnston Marklee. Since its establishment in 1998\, Johnston Marklee has been recognized nationally and internationally with over 30 major awards. A book on the work of the firm\, entitled HOUSE IS A HOUSE IS A HOUSE IS A HOUSE IS A HOUSE\, was published by Birkhauser in 2016. This followed a monograph on the firm’s work\, published in 2014 by 2G.\nPractice Sessions is part of the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative\, which funds experimental pedagogies in a bid to change how teaching and learning happen within the bounds of the institution. Over a five- year period\, ten architectural practices will be invited to Taubman College to run a practice session. Each session centers on an immersive four-day design charette that culminates in a juried review and exhibition. These sessions are not workshops in the conventional sense. Invited practices are not selected to repeat a known and routinized working method in collaboration with students. Instead\, invitees are called to work in an experimental mode\, where everything is subject to the pressures of practice on design\, and where practice and the academy intersect.

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:Chicana Fotos: Nancy De Los Santos
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: Friday\, February 17 - April 14\, 2017\nOpening Reception: Friday\, February 17\, 2017 from 4 - 7 pm\, featuring a performance by Ballet Folklórico De Detroit at 6 pm.\nGallery Talk by Nancy De Los Santos and exhibition curator Maria Cotera: Friday\, February 17\, 2017 at 12 pm\, Walter P. Reuther Library Woodcock Conference Room\nWalter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University\n5401 Cass Ave\, Detroit\, MI 48202\n\nBorn and raised in Chicago by Mexican-American parents\, Nancy De Los Santos is an accomplished filmmaker and proud “Chicana from Chicago” who has dedicated her life and career to rewriting and redefining the image of Latina/os in the mainstream media. Among her most celebrated works are as Co-Writer and Co-Producer of The Bronze Screen: 100 Years of the Latin Image in Hollywood Cinema\, with Susan Racho and Alberto Dominguez\, and as Associate Producer on the feature film Selena.\n\nIn Chicana Fotos\, an exhibit of evocative photographs taken in the 1970s\, we meet a very different Nancy: a woman armed with a camera\, capturing historic events in the struggles for social justice of the time. Nancy’s photographs of Chicano Movement marches and rallies\, farmworker mobilizations in Chicago and Texas\, and Latina organizing in the Midwest and internationally offer a priceless documentary view of Latina/o politics in the 1970s. Her more intimate pictures of everyday Latina/o life capture what it was like to live through a period of radical social transformation. The exhibit includes rare photographs of UFW organizing activities in Chicago\, the Texas Farmworker Pilgrimage of 1977\, and the first ever International Women’s Year Conference in Mexico City in 1975. These images are supplemented by never before exhibited documents from the Walter P. Reuther UFW Collection.\n\nChicana Fotos was curated by University of Michigan professor Maria Cotera (with assistance from Pau Nava) and designed by students and faculty of the UM Stamps School of Art & Design. Stamps School faculty Hannah Smotrich and Katie Rubin co-taught the collaborative\, interdisciplinary Exhibition Design class with students Ian Crowley\, Rachel Dawson\, Emilie Farrugia\, Kelsi Franzino\, Andrew Han\, Jack Hyland\, Maggie Lemak\, Megan Lewin-Smith\, Katie Mongoven\, Olivia Moore\, Pau Nava\, and Sarah Wolf.\n\nChicana Fotos is a collaboration between the El Museo del Norte\, the Chicana por mi Raza Digital Archive\, the Stamps School of Art & Design and the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University.\n\nThe Walter P. Reuther Library of Labor and Urban Affairs at Wayne State University is the largest labor archive in North America. In addition to internationally significant collections on the history of the North American labor movement\, the Reuther Library holds the official records of Wayne State University\, as well as extensive records documenting urban affairs\, civic life\, civil rights\, ethnic and religious organizations\, and community development across Southeast Michigan.\n\nChicana Fotos was made possible through the generous financial support of the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative and the Stamps School of Art & Design. Gallery talk sponsored by the Center for Latina/o and Latin American Studies\, Wayne State University\, and the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative.

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:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors–Part I: Figuration
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. This two-part exhibition (Part I: Figuration followed by Part II: Abstraction on view July 1– October 29) presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. The works themselves are equally diverse\, ranging from ancient sculptures to contemporary multimedia works. Part I: Figuration features works by Henri Matisse\, Elizabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun\, Mark Tansey\, and Mickalene Thomas\, among others\, and allows visitors to explore the variety of artistic responses and purposes encompassed by the term “figuration”. It also offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\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:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | The Ritual Challenge to Chinese Vernacular Literature: Views from a Village in Hunan
DESCRIPTION:The research presented in this talk suggests possibilities for a new direction in the study of Ming vernacular literature. Going beyond the argument of Professor Meulenbeld’s monograph “Demonic Warfare\,” where he reveals the ritual foundations of Ming novels like “Fengshen yanyi”\, he relates the content of vernacular literature to Daoist ritual practice in the rural villages of present-day Central Hunan. He will show that the story of “Fengshen yanyi” informs the content of local Daoist ritual as well as the institutions that codify and disseminate ritual\, and challenges the Western\, secular implications of the category of literature and surmise that these Chinese vernacular narratives should be more properly understood in relation to ritual. \n    \nMark Meulenbeld is Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, where he teaches Chinese religion and literature with a focus on Daoism. His areas of research range from vernacular literature of the Ming dynasty to fieldwork on Daoism in Hunan (PRC) and on Taiwan. His recent publications include a monograph on the intersection of literature\, religion\, and society\, entitled “Demonic Warfare: Daoism\, Territorial Networks\, and the History of a Ming Novel” (University of Hawai’i Press\, 2015)\, and an article about late imperial hagiographies of a Buddhist goddess that depict her as a gloomy spirit: “Death and Demonization of a Bodhisattva: Guanyin’s Reformulation within Chinese Religion” (JAAR\, Sept. 2016).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:REBUILD Seminar | Lessons from a Course Transformation Program at a Large Research Intensive University
DESCRIPTION:Register here for this Brown Bag Seminar: https://crlt.umich.edu/node/94493\n\nAbstract: In an era in which active learning\, student engagement\, and transformative education is increasingly discussed\, it is crucial that educators understand the factors that foster greater student engagement and what is broadly referred to as student-centered learning.  We then need to be able to effectively apply that knowledge to our work in the classroom.  For the past 5 years\, I have been engaged in a collaborative effort leading a course transformation program at a large research intensive university.  The transformations were guided by the motivational framework of self-determination theory.  I will share the motivational principles underlying successful transformations in higher education as well as the associated research evidence.  An extension of this project is currently funded by the Department of Education as part of the  First-in-the-World federal initiative. \n\n\nREBUILD and the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching are talking to administrators\, faculty\, staff and students across the University about foundational courses. Our goal is to generate a shared vision and agenda for a program of collaborative course design to advance teaching and learning in foundational courses at the University of Michigan.\n\nThe Foundational Course Initiative Seminar Series features high-profile speakers who have extensive experience leading the transformation of foundational courses to incorporate innovative technologies\, research-based pedagogies\, systematic assessment strategies\, and novel approaches to supporting the success of diverse students at scale.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Commutative Algebra
DESCRIPTION:Last week\, we covered the proof of the Main Theorem 3.8 in the Cohen-Macaulay algebras paper. This will be used\, together with Gorenstein Liaison Theory (as covered in Migliore's book) to prove the Main Thm 1.4 of the \"Regularity of Line Configurations\" paper\, whose proof also depends the definition of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity in terms of Tor. I will present a simple toy example of their theorem (way simpler than their seven intended AG-style applications)\, and then proceed onto the proof\; I'll try to justify some\, if not all\, of the claims they make about Liaison Theory and/or homological algebra.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Geometry/Topology
DESCRIPTION:Under some assumptions\, the metric on a Riemannian manifold can be determined from surprisingly little data: for instance\, knowing the induced (chordal) metric on the boundary\, or knowing the lengths of its closed geodesics. I will discuss some results of this nature\, and hopefully give some indication of how one might prove them. Speaker(s): Salman Siddiqi (UM)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED/CREES Panel. Russia and U.S.-Russia Relations in the Age of Trump
DESCRIPTION:The election of President Donald Trump has thrust U.S.-Russian relations into the national and international spotlight. The actions of Presidents Putin and Trump are both rooted in domestic political concerns and ideas about the place of each country in the international political order. How this relationship unfolds in the next few months and years could have profound implications for the future of NATO\, the Russian occupation of Ukraine\, and the war in Syria.\n \nThis panel features five experts from the University of Michigan: Pauline Jones (Political Science)\, Mikhail Krutikov (Slavic Languages & Literatures/Judaic Studies)\, Ekaterina Mishina (independent scholar)\, Jim Morrow (Political Science)\, and William Zimmerman (Political Science).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Entanglement\, Quantum Gates\, and Interfaces with Atomic Rydberg Interactions
DESCRIPTION:Rydberg interactions are now in use in many research groups for quantum information processing. I will present experiments showing the creation of entangled |W> states of ~10 atoms\, and two-atom Bell states. These experiments form a basis for future scalable quantum computing. Recent ideas will be presented for long coherence qubits with doubly magic trapping (PRL 117\, 150801 (2016))\, higher gate fidelity with shaped analytic pulses (PRA 94\, 032306 (2016))\, and measurement free error correction (PRL 117\, 130503 (2016)) which leverages the potential of Rydberg interactions for efficient multi-qubit gates. Rydberg interactions can also couple disparate quantum systems and we will describe progress towards a single atom - superconducting qubit interface. Finally we discuss ideas for dual coherent and dissipative control without crosstalk to proximal qubits by encoding in mutlilevel atoms.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Queer Visibility: Bio-legitimacy\, Sovereignty\, and Masculinity in Uganda
DESCRIPTION:Parikh's research focuses on the intersection of local transformations\; global processes\; and structures of inequalities surrounding issues of sexuality\, particularly gender\, sexual and reproductive health\, regulation\, courtship and romance\, and marriage. Using ethnographic and historical methods and critical theory\, my research in eastern Uganda focuses on how regimes of regulation and discourses of sexuality have shifted since independence and\, more recently\, during the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Theoretical questions revolve around how differentiated actors appropriate increasingly accessible\, yet often contradictory\, images and discourses of sexuality into their everyday debates\, conversations\, and ideas of sexual relationships. She highlights the ways in which various state\, family\, health\, and local agents attempt to regulate meanings of sexuality and how such struggles are connected to increased anxiety stimulated by sexual health concerns\, commercialization of the local economy\, and Uganda's connection to global cultural flows. Her current work examines youth romance as written in their love letters\, and attempts to regulate sexuality through the age of consent law. I pay particular attention to the articulations of historic inequalities such as sex\, age\, and class in sexual relationships.\n\nIn her fieldwork she integrates ethnographic research methods with active research techniques. By doing so\, she enters into dialogue with debates about the role of anthropology in public health and anthropological critiques of development. She has begun further research on infidelity and HIV transmission and the social history of sexuality in rural post-colonial Uganda. Broadly speaking\, She is interested in sexual and reproductive health issues\, and regimes of sexuality.\n\nHer courses cross into African and Afro-American Studies\, Women's Studies\, International and Area Studies\, Social Thought and Analysis\, and the History and Philosophy of Science

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Science and Reputation:  Biology\, Social Thought\, and the Modern University
DESCRIPTION:This session will look at a transformative period in the intellectual life of the University (1880-1920).  New ideas were emerging about how individuals should conduct themselves and relate with others. These questions\, once considered primarily spiritual\, then seemed more the province of biology. Evolution studies brought new perspectives. But biology did not ultimately embrace all the possible directions\, opening a path for the development of social science. This discussion will look at the intersections of natural science\, psychology\, philosophy\, faith\, and belief that at the University of Michigan\, transformed it into an early model of the modern research university. Featuring Robert Bender\, Francis X. Blouin\, Terrence J. McDonald\, Kate Rosenblatt\, and Perrin Selcer (all University of Michigan).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester event is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Colloquium Series
DESCRIPTION:The tautological ring of the moduli space of smooth curves of genus g was introduced by Mumford in the 1980s in analogy with the cohomology of Grassmannians. Work of Faber and Faber-Zagier in the 1990s led to two competing conjectural descriptions of the structure of the tautological ring. The two conjectures give two distinct combinatorial characterizations of this ring\, and they are both true for genus g = 24. After reviewing these conjectures\, I will discuss some of the evidence in recent years favoring one conjecture over the other. Speaker(s): Aaron Pixton (MIT)

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Agents of Change
DESCRIPTION:Followed by discussion.\n\nAbout the film: From the well-publicized events at San Francisco State in 1968 to the image of black students with guns emerging from the takeover of the student union at Cornell University in April\, 1969\, the struggle for a more relevant and meaningful education\, including demands for black and ethnic studies programs\, became a clarion call across the country in the late 1960’s. Through the stories of these young men and women who were at the forefront of these efforts\, Agents of Change examines the untold story of the racial conditions on college campuses and in the country that led to these protests. The film’s characters were caught at the crossroads of the civil rights\, black power\, and anti-Vietnam war movements at a pivotal time in America’s history. Today\, over 45 years later\, many of the same demands are surfacing in campus protests across the country\, revealing how much work remains to be done.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:When studying an algebraic curve X of genus at least 3\, it often helps to consider (1) an embedding of X into some ambient space\, and (2) some set of \"reference\" points on X. One natural choice for (1) is the canonical embedding X->P^r into projective space (where r = g-1) and for (2) we choose points that are \"special\" with respect to the set of hyperplanes in P^r -- these are called Weierstrass points of X. A second natural choice for (1) is the Abel-Jacobi embedding X->Jac(X) into the Jacobian variety\, and for (2) we choose the set of N-torsion points which happen to lie on the curve.\n\nDepending on the curve X\, the set of points you get from these two methods may or may not overlap. However\, a recent result of Girard\, Kohel\, and Ritzenthaler (2005) proves that for a generic curve\, the points you get in these two ways are entirely disjoint. In this talk I will discuss the proof of this result. Some familiarity with algebraic curves will be assumed. Speaker(s): Harry Richman (UM)

This workshop will give you the tools to identify and connect with contacts in addition to conducting informational interviews - opportunities that will help you expand your knowledge  on what a career or company is like by learning from an employee's daily activities. These meetings can occur without the pressure so often present in a typical job interview but many times lead to opportunities down the road.
