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:Banner Moments: The National Anthem in American Life
DESCRIPTION:The new Ford Presidential Library lobby exhibit\, curated by University of Michigan musicologist Mark Clague\, illustrates through interpretive panels\, historical documents and photographs\, the cultural 200-year history of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (1814–2014). The tale that emerges demonstrates the power of music and poetry to spark the social imagination and thus create a sense of shared community.\n\nInspired by the successful defense of Baltimore\, Maryland from British attack in September 1814\, lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned his now famous lyric. Rather than extraordinary\, Key’s creative impulse was typical of early America’s broadside ballad tradition in which new words were written to fit well known tunes. The result\, however\, was far from everyday—Key could not have predicted that his song would survive the moment\, yet become his nation’s singular anthem.\n\nFollow the “The Star-Spangled Banner” from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day and explore the social history of our national song.\nMarch 2017 to September 2017 \n\nMonday - Friday. 8:45 am - 4:45 pm\nClosed all Federal holidays.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Another Country
DESCRIPTION:The scenes in Another Country emerge from daily images of conflict and uprising. Discarded shoes\, tarps and handmade signs that mark the post-industrial landscape become part roadside memorial and part doomsday prophecy. These temporary sculptures - set against the backdrop of environmental decline - evoke a cautionary tale of hazmat crews and oil soaked shorelines. \n\nIf there is a place for both apathy and active resistance in the way forward to a better future\, Another Country carries the tension that’s in-between. Inspired by the visual resistance of liberation parties\, past and present\, it urges us to remember why we fight.\n\nShanna Merola is an artist\, activist\, and documentary photographer. Working for civil rights attorneys\, she photographs first amendment activity at protests and facilitates workshops on best practices during police encounters. Over the past five years she has been a human rights observer for social justice movements across the country - from the deeply embattled struggle over water rights in Detroit and Flint\, Michigan - to the frontlines of uprisings in Ferguson\, MO and Standing Rock\, ND. Her collages and constructed landscapes are informed by these rallies - from direct actions against fracking companies to the privatization of water both globally and locally. She is currently working on a collaborative production of Know Your Rights Theatre\, inspired by the politically radical puppet troupes of the 1960’s.\n\nMerola received an MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Photo and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University. She lives and works in Detroit\, 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: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:GOIN’ NORTH: BLACK DETROIT  AND THE  GREAT MIGRATION\,  1910-1930
DESCRIPTION:Summary: \nExhibit of photographs and documents produced by the Michigan Historical Collections in Commemoration of Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day at the University of Michigan\, published 1991.\nBLACK DETROIT AND THE GREAT MIGRATION\n\nSince Norf is up\,\nAn’ Souf is down\,\nAn’ Hebben is up\,\nI’m upward boun’.*\nThey came to Detroit by the thousands from Georgia\, Alabama\, Tennessee\, South Caroline and they stayed. They were part of what historians characterize as a watershed in African American History-the Great Migration. From 1910 to 1930\, hundreds of thousands of Blacks headed North\, leaving the South because of economic hardship\, poor educational opportunities\, and enticed by the lure of better jobs in northern industries and more freedom. Cites in the industrial Northeast and Midwest experienced astounding increases in their Black populations\, but few more so that Detroit\, its institutions and its cultures\, took shape and developed. The problems encountered by the migrants in the form of discrimination and racial animosity were problems with which the city would grapple throughout the decades to follow.\n\nThis exhibit focused on the two major concerns of the migrants\, housing and jobs\, and on the attempts made by various organizations in adjusting to life in Detroit. It is primarily compiled from the holding s of the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library\, particularly the rich collection of the Detroit Urban League. It is also drawn from the Collections of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of Labor History and Urban Affairs (Wayne State University)\, the Collections of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village\, the Detroit News\, and tge Second Baptist Church of Detroit\, Michigan. The exhibit was prepared by Christine Weideman and Karen Jania\, staff members of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n*From the poem\, “Northboun’” by Lucy Ariel Williams\, printed in Opportunity “: a Journal of Negro Life\, June 1926. The journal was a publication of the National Urban League.

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:Other:Lunch with Honors | How Do You Exonerate the Innocent without DNA? A Look Inside the Michigan Innocence Clinic.
DESCRIPTION:Register Below: Web & Social Links.\n\nUnlike many other innocence clinics\, which specialize in DNA exonerations\, the Michigan Innocence Clinic focuses on cases where there is no biological evidence to be tested. Their work indicates that some of the most common causes of wrongful conviction are eyewitness misidentification\, junk science\, false confessions\, government misconduct and bad lawyering.  These cases show us how the criminal justice system is in need of much repair and how the Michigan Innocence Clinic can combat troubling trends of the system.\n\nU-M Law professor David Moran directs the Michigan Innocence Clinic. Professor Moran has argued six times before the United States Supreme Court. Among his most notable cases are Halbert v. Michigan\, in which the Supreme Court struck down a Michigan law that denied appellate counsel to assist indigent criminal defendants who wished to challenge their sentences after pleading guilty. Professor Moran is an alumnus of the LSA Honors Program. He earned his BS in physics at the University of Michigan\, a BA\, MA\, and CAS in Mathematics at Cambridge University\, an MS in theoretical physics at Cornell University\, and a JD at the Michigan Law School. He served for eight years as an assistant defender at the State Appellate Defender Office (SADO) in Detroit.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mathematical Biology
DESCRIPTION:Cells move in tissue in several situations such as the spread of cancer. It is known that cell motility leads to deformation of the tissue. We argue here that the deformations are generically plastic and irreversible. We study an experimental model system of breast cancer cells in collagen-I. We observe large\, irreversible deformations\, namely dense collagen bundles between cells which do not decay when the cells stop contracting. We give a numerical model that shows how sliding of cross-links in the collagen can give the observed results. The same model reproduces bulk rheology observations of plasticity. We also observe the micro-rheology of the collagen bundles.\n \nWe discuss the implications of our results for cell motility via durotaxis and contact guidance. We propose that cell motility\, even at low densities\, is a collective effect due to mechanical \ncommunication between cells.\n Speaker(s): Leonard Sander (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantitative Biology Seminar | Irreversible Remodeling of Tissue by Cells: Implications for the Spread of Cancer
DESCRIPTION:Cells move in tissue in several situations such as the spread of cancer. It is known that cell motility leads to deformation of the tissue. We argue here that the deformations are generically plastic and irreversible. We study an experimental model system of breast cancer cells in collagen-I. We observe large\, irreversible deformations\, namely dense collagen bundles between cells which do not decay when the cells stop contracting. We give a numerical model that shows how sliding of cross-links in the collagen can give the observed results. The same model reproduces bulk rheology observations of plasticity. We also observe the micro-rheology of the collagen bundles.\n\nWe discuss the implications of our results for cell motility via durotaxis and contact guidance. We propose that cell motility\, even at low densities\, is a collective effect due to mechanical communication between cells.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Minorities and Philosophy Lecture: The Moral Significance of Being Human Abstract
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWhen trying to establish the special moral importance that we give to human beings\, philosophers generally find the concept of species membership  an insufficient ground for justifying that status. They instead insist on locating morally significant intrinsic properties of human beings to serve as the basis for moral status.  Often they drop the term “human” and prefer a normative concept such as “person.”  They either insist that a purely natural concept does not have normative content\, or they accept the view that species membership as a criterion for is special moral status is morally arbitrary in the same way that racism\, sexism\, or heterosexism are. A numbers of philosophers (James Rachaels\, Peter Singer\, Jeff McMahan\, among others) point out that the morally relevant attributes are not possessed by all human beings\, and may well be possessed by nonhuman animals.  \n\nThese views either explicitly or implicitly write certain human beings out of consideration for that special status and render them unequal to other humans with the morally relevant attributes. While some philosophers find this result acceptable\, I do not.  I dispute the view that we must find the morally relevant attributes in humans to justify their special moral status\, and argue instead for the moral relevance of species membership (on relational grounds)\; while\, at the same time\, granting that nonhuman animals can have morally relevant traits that ought to guide our treatment of them.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“An Unprecedented Obligation and Opportunity for the South”: World War II and the Death of the Southern Renaissance
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Gardner surveys the changes wrought by World War II to the book industry in general and to the southern renaissance in particular. Taking Lillian Smith’s Strange Fruit and Richard Wright’s Black Boy\, both published in 1944\, as case studies and expanding out\, Dr. Gardner argues that during the 1940s the South came to occupy a different literary position in the minds of industry insiders. The war changed which books were produced\, how they were produced\, and the ways they were pitched to an expanding market that demanded reading material that explained new wartime realities. In this climate\, few southern titles fit the bill. It also notes the ways in which the industry itself had changed. Southerners continued to publish fiction\, of course\, but by the 1940s there was hardly anything new about the overturning of the moonlight and magnolia school of southern letters. Renaissances cannot continue forever. Southern authors still might have something new to say\, but that was no longer revolutionary. The modern literary marketplace that had emerged in the 1920s and 1930s looked markedly different in the 1940s and 1950s. The war might not have signaled the death of Dixie\, as some prognosticators had suggested\, but it did signal the death of the southern literary renaissance.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Expect Resistance: Artist Lecture & Reception with Shanna Merola
DESCRIPTION:In her lecture\, \"Expect Resistance\,\" Merola will discuss the various roles that art and activism play in her work with grassroots movements across the country - from the historic fight to reclaim Richmond\, Virginia’s African Burial Ground to the deeply embattled struggle over water privatization in Detroit and Flint\, Michigan. Within her different bodies of work Merola will also draw parallels between historic flashpoints in American history\, through an archival exploration of the Detroit 67 Rebellion to firsthand documentation from the front lines of Ferguson\, Missouri and Standing Rock\, North Dakota. \n\nFollowed by opening reception for Shanna Merola pop-up exhibition\, \"Another Country.\"\n\nAbout \"Another Country\":\n\nThe scenes in Another Country emerge from daily images of conflict and uprising. Discarded shoes\, tarps and handmade signs that mark the post-industrial landscape become part roadside memorial and part doomsday prophecy. These temporary sculptures - set against the backdrop of environmental decline - evoke a cautionary tale of hazmat crews and oil soaked shorelines.\n \nIf there is a place for both apathy and active resistance in the way forward to a better future\, Another Country carries the tension that’s in-between. Inspired by the visual resistance of liberation parties\, past and present\, it urges us to remember why we fight.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): Boundedly Rational Backward Induction
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe propose simple axioms that characterize a generalization of backward induction in which at any node of a decision tree\, the decision maker can look forward a fixed number of stages perfectly. Beyond that\, the decision maker aggregates continuation values according to a function that captures reasoning under unpredictability. The model is uniquely identified from the decision maker's preference over decision trees. The model allows the decision maker to iteratively revise her future plan\, as she moves forward in a decision tree. We analyze a comparative measure of unpredictability aversion\, and discuss how a principal may exploit the agent's imperfect foresight.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Probing QCD Matter at Extremely High Temperatures in ATLAS: Jet Measurements in p+p\, p+Pb and Pb+Pb Collisions at 5 TeV
DESCRIPTION:Collisions between two lead nuclei at the Large Hadron Collider produce extremely high temperature QCD matter which is best described as consisting of deconfined quarks and gluons. A powerful tool to understand this matter is to use the high momentum quarks and gluons generated in hard scattering processes in the earliest stages of the nuclear collision as probes of the matter at later times. These measurements use modifications to the jet rates and properties induced by the scattering of the probes off the constituents of the matter to infer the nature of the interactions and constrain the properties of the matter. This talk will describe the new measurements at 5 TeV collision energy of jets and their properties in the ATLAS detector in lead-lead collisions as well proton-proton and proton-lead collisions which provide a baseline for the lead-lead measurements.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker. Incidental News: The Consumption of Current Events Information among Young People
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation I will share results of an ongoing\, mixed methods study of how people ages 18-29 access information about current events. The study shows that the ideal-typical mode in which young people consume news on social media can be characterized with the notion of “incidental news.” Although incidental learning of news has long existed\, it had been a secondary mode of information acquisition\, not the predominant one. On the basis of these findings I will reflect on current dynamics at the nexus of media\, technology and politics that have become central to contemporary culture.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Combinatorics Seminar
DESCRIPTION:In a list of problems published in 2001\, Alan Sokal conjectured a value D where the independence polynomial of graphs is zero-free in a neighborhood of the complex plane around an interval of the real segment [0\,D]. It is important to note that D is calculated (explicitly) using only the maximum degree of the graph.\n\nVery recently\, a proof of the validity and optimality of this conjecture was found using techniques in complex dynamics by Peters and Regts. After introducing some fundamentals\, I will give a brief outline of the proof followed by a short example of the importance of using dynamics to make the problem more approachable. Time permitting\, I will discuss some of the applications of the conjecture to computational complexity theory as well as physics. Speaker(s): Anthony Della Pella (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Island President's Struggle for Democracy and Environmental Justice in the Maldives
DESCRIPTION:In 2008\, Mohamed Nasheed became the first democratically elected president in the history of the island nation of the Maldives. His presidency was marked first by his heroic efforts to save his country from the ravages of rising sea-levels resulting from climate change\, as captured in the critically acclaimed documentary film The Island President (2011). Then\, afraid that he would expose the rampant corruption on their watch\, powerful players in the previous regime conspired to force him out of presidency and tortured and persecuted him. With his health deteriorating\, he managed to find exile in London with the help from international lawyers Jared Genser\, Amal Clooney\, and Ben Emmerson. He continues his tireless efforts to promote democracy in his homeland and is now poised to pursue presidency again in his beloved homeland. Featuring President Mohamed Nasheed\, his lawyer Jared Genser\, and Professor Rebecca Hardin of the UM School of Natural Resources and moderated by DHRC Director Kiyoteru Tsutsui\, the Donia Human Rights Center Panel will examine how global challenges of climate change\, environmental justice\, human rights\, and democracy converged in the Maldives and President Nasheed\, and explore possible ways forward as the next presidential election in the Maldives looms in 2018.  \n\nH. E. Mohamed Nasheed (President of Maldives\, 2008-2012)\nMohamed Nasheed is an activist\, journalist\, and politician who served as the first democratically elected president of the Maldives. Mr. Nasheed made a name for himself as a dissident journalist\, regularly challenging the authoritarian regime of former president Maumoon Gayoom.  As a result of his outspoken criticism\, he was repeatedly imprisoned.  In 2003\, Mr. Nasheed formed the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party and in 2008\, on a platform of human rights and democratic principles\, he was elected president in the country’s first multi-party democratic elections.  Mr. Nasheed used his position as a platform for democratic reforms and climate activism. Mr. Nasheed's presidency was cut short in 2012 by a coup\, and he was later arrested on false charges intended to remove him and his political party\, which continued to be very popular among the people.  Freedom Now worked on his case\, along with Amal Clooney\, and in October 2015\, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention issued an opinion finding Mr. Nasheed's detention to be in violation of international law and called on the Maldivian government to release him.  After an escalating advocacy campaign by Freedom Now and his pro bono legal team\, the government granted Mr. Nasheed medical leave in January 2016\, allowing him to travel to the UK. In May 2016\, the UK government granted him asylum. President Nasheed won the 2009 Anna Lindh Prize\, in recognition of his work promoting human rights\, democracy and environmental protection. In September 2009\, Time Magazine declared President Nasheed a ‘Hero of the Environment’. In April 2010\, the United Nations presented Nasheed with its ‘Champions of the Earth’ environment award. In August 2010\, Newsweek named President Nasheed in its list of ‘World’s Ten Best Leaders’. In 2012\, The Island President\, a documentary feature film about Nasheed\, was released in theaters worldwide. In June 2012\, Nasheed was presented with the James Lawson Award for the practice of non-violent action.\n\nJared Genser\nJared Genser is Managing Director of Perseus Strategies\, a law and consulting firm that focuses on human rights\, humanitarian\, and corporate social responsibility projects.  He is also Founder of Freedom Now\, a non-governmental organization that works to free prisoners of conscience worldwide.  Genser was an Associate of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University from 2014-2016\, a Visiting Fellow with the National Endowment for Democracy from 2006-2007\, and was previously named by the National Law Journal as one of “40 Under 40: Washington’s Rising Stars.”  Before founding Perseus Strategies\, Genser was a partner in the government affairs practice of DLA Piper LLP and a management consultant with McKinsey & Company.  He has taught semester-long seminars about the UN Security Council at Georgetown University Law Center and the University of Michigan and University of Pennsylvania law schools.  His pro bono clients have included former Czech Republic President Václav Havel and Nobel Peace Prize Laureates Aung San Suu Kyi\, Liu Xiaobo\, Desmond Tutu\, and Elie Wiesel.  Genser holds a B.S. from Cornell University\, an M.P.P. from Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government\, where he was an Alumni Public Service Fellow\, and a J.D. cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School.  He is author of The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention: Commentary and Guide to Practice(Cambridge University Press\, Forthcoming 2017).  In addition\, he is co-editor of The UN Security Council in the Age of Human Rights (Cambridge University Press\, 2014) and The Responsibility to Protect: The Promise of Stopping Mass Atrocities in Our Times (Oxford University Press\, 2011). Genser is the recipient of the American Bar Association’s International Human Rights Award\, Liberty in North Korea’s Freedom Fighter Award\, and the Charles Bronfman Prize.\"\n\nRebecca Hardin\nProfessor Hardin’s areas of interest and scientific study include human/wildlife interactions\, and social and environmental change related to wildlife management\, tourism\, logging\, and mining in equatorial Africa\, especially the western Congo basin. Recent projects also focus on the increasingly intertwined practices of health\, environmental management\, and corporate governance in southern and eastern Africa\, including sites in South Africa and Kenya. In 2013-14 she advised a student team studying environmental justice cases within the U.S.\, and connecting them to the international Environmental Justice Atlas. In 2014–15 she advised a student team assessing groundwater and surface water resources across the African continent\, and advising GETF about how to make a better business case for water related investment by businesses in Africa. She teaches and mentors students interested in international environmental practice and policy\, wildife management\, human relationships to landscape\, environmental justice\, and global health. She also provides support for the students who are the genius behind SNRE's weekly environmental talk and music show\, It’s Hot in Here\, airing at noon on Fridays on WCBN FM 88.3\, and with an accompanying blog and mp3 archive. The show helps researchers discuss their work with local audiences interested in environmental policy affecting Michigan\, and also reach out to national and transnational audiences streaming the show via the Internet. Her recent book Transforming Ethnographic Knowledge explores the discipline of anthropology as a set of skills and tools for social change in sectors as different as business\, biological conservation\, conflict resolution\, and biomedical care. Rebecca teaches courses in both SNRE and the Department of Anthropology\, she also founded and coordinates SNRE's Environmental Justice Certificate Program for students beyond those two units working in or studying communities who are either negatively impacted by environmental harms\, or experiencing inequality of access to environmental goods and ecosystem services.  Rebecca currently coordinates the Environmental Justice field of study and coordinates the Michigan Sustainability Cases initiative.\n\nPhoto credit: Chiara Goia\nCaption: President Mohamed \"Anni\" Nasheed

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Group\, Lie and Number Theory
DESCRIPTION:Let K be a p-adic field and M a finite continuous Galois module. Local Tate duality is a perfect duality between the Galois cohomology of M and the Galois cohomology of its dual module. In the special case when M is the module of the m-torsion points of an abelian variety A over K\, Tate has a finer result. In this case the group H^1(K\,M) has a significant subgroup\, namely there is map from the K-rational points of A to H^1(K\,M) induced by the Kummer sequence on A. Tate computed the orthogonal complement of A(K) under the duality pairing. \n\nIn this talk I will present an analogue for H^2 of this classical result. The \"significant subgroup\" in this case will be given by a Galois symbol map\, similar to the classical Galois symbol of the  Bloch-Kato conjecture. After introducing the set up and discussing some details of the main theorem\, I will present some applications to zero cycles and to p-adic Hodge theory.
