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lobby exhibit\, curated by University of Michigan musicologist Mark Clague\, illustrates through interpretive panels\, historical documents and photographs\, the cultural 200-year history of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (1814–2014).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:Workshop / Seminar:Frequentist/Bayes controversies\, homeopathy and (ES)P-values
DESCRIPTION:I compare and contrast the two predominant philosophies for characterizing empirical uncertainty\, frequentist and Bayesian statistics. The frequentist approach\, in particular Neyman’s formulation of confidence intervals and Neyman-Pearson significance testing\, held sway in much of the last century\, but the Bayesian approach has experienced a dramatic revival in recent years. I’ll discuss why. While frequentist ideas remain essential for keeping our models from sending us off the rails\, Bayes provides a comprehensive and logical inferential framework for addressing the entire spectrum of uncertainty\, from extraterrestrial life to tennis strategy. The P-value debate\, homeopathic treatments and ESP are discussed from the Bayesian and frequentist perspectives.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Arithmetic
DESCRIPTION:Let F be a finite field. The ring of formal power series F[[t]] is the t-adic completion of the polynomial ring F[t]. Completing F[t] introduces many new elements: most are transcendental\, but some are algebraic. How do we recognize the formal power series which are algebraic over F[t]? Christol gave a beautifully simple answer to this question using the concept of finite automaton from theoretical computer science. I will discuss the proof of this theorem\, give applications and examples\, and note extensions as time permits. No background with finite automata or computer science will be assumed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM Theory Seminars | Hunds Interaction\, Spin-Orbit Coupling and the Mechanism of Superconductivity in Heavily Hole-Doped Iron Pnictides
DESCRIPTION:Argument will be made for a novel unconventional mechanism for s-wave (A1g) Cooper pairing in heavily hole doped iron pnictides. This mechanism avoids large on-site intra-orbital repulsion\, and is favored when the renormalized Hunds interaction exceeds the renormalized onsite inter-orbital Couplomb repulsion. In the absence of spin-orbit interaction\, the Cooper pairing has A2g spin triplet character\, but with spin-orbit included\, the gap transforms as A1g. This is not just a change in bookkeeping. Rather\, it results in a qualitative difference in the nature of the pairing instability\, and in the temperature dependence of the Knight shift. The resulting gap has most of the features of the structure and gap anisotropy observed in laser angle resolved photoemission\, including thepossibility of accidental nodes. It explains why\, when such nodes are observed\, they appear only on the outer (Eg) Fermi surface\, as well as why the overall gap magnitude is smaller there than on the inner (Eg) Fermi surface.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Econometrics: Bayesian Indirect Inference and the ABC of GMM
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn this paper we propose and study local linear and polynomial based estimators for implementing Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) style indirect inference and GMM estimators. This method makes use of nonparametric regression in the computation of GMM and Indirect Inference models. We provide formal conditions under which frequentist inference is asymptotically valid and demonstrate the validity of the estimated posterior quantiles for confidence interval construction. We also show that in this setting\, local linear kernel regression methods have theoretical advantages over local constant kernel methods that are also reflected in finite sample simulation results. Our results also apply to both exactly and over identified models. These estimators do not need to rely on numerical optimization or Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations. They provide an effective complement to the classical M-estimators and to MCMC methods\, and can be applied to both likelihood based models and method of moment based models.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra
DESCRIPTION:Cartier algebras and their duals\, rings of Frobenius operators\,  have come up in the study of Frobenius splittings\, which have been useful in many topics ranging from singularity theory in algebraic geometry to representation theory.  When R is a local ring of characteristic p >0\, the Cartier algebra C\, which is the ring of all potential Frobenius splittings of R\, is dual to the ring of Frobenius operators (p^{e}-linear maps) on the injective hull of the residue field.  This ring of Frobenius operators need not be finitely generated over R\, which led Enescu and Yao to define Frobenius complexity as a measure of its non-finite generation.  In their examples Frobenius complexity is not always even rational\, but its limit\, as p goes to infinity\, is an integer.  Few other examples have been computed.  In this talk\, I will discuss a method to compute limit Frobenius complexity for Hibi rings\, which are a class of toric rings defined from finite posets.  I will show that this computation can be read directly from the defining poset in nice cases. Speaker(s): Janet Page (University of Illinois at Chicago)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analysis/Probability Learning Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The well-known (and still open) slicing problem in Convex Geometry asks whether there exists an absolute constant c so that for every origin-symmetric convex body K  of volume 1 there is a hyperplane section of K whose (n-1)-dimensional volume is greater than c. Alex Koldobsky proposed a number of generalizations of this question to the case of the most general measures instead of the volume. Motivated by Koldobsky's work\, we are studying a similar  slicing problem  when the volume functional is replaced by the lattice point enumerator (i.e. the number of integer lattice points inside a given set).  This is a joint work with Matthew Alexander and Martin Henk. Speaker(s): Artem Zvavitch (Kent State University)

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CSAS Film Screening | Cities of Sleep
DESCRIPTION:‘Cities of Sleep’ (dir: Shaunak Sen) takes us into a heady world of insurgent sleeper’s communities as well as the infamous ‘sleep mafia’ in Delhi where just securing a safe sleeping spot often becomes a question of life and death for a large number of people.\n\nThe film trails the lives of two individuals\, Shakeel and Ranjeet. Shakeel\, a renegade homeless sleeper has for the last 7 years slept in a diverse range of improvised places like subways\, under park benches\, parking lots\, abandoned cars and lately\, at areas controlled by the sleep mafia. The film follows his attempts to secure a safe sleepingspace just around the time the infamous winter rains of Delhi are due.\n\nRanjeet runs the ‘sleep-cinema’ community in Loha Pul in Delhi\, a huge double-storey iron bridge straddling the banks of the river Yamuna. A thin strip of land under Loha Pul houses shanty cinemas where over 400 odd homeless come and sleep through the day for a nominal price. The flooding of the river Yamuna poses a threat to the people sleeping there every monsoon.\n\nThe film looks at not only the tremendous social and political pressure that sleep exerts on the homeless in the city but is also a philosophical exploration of sleep at large.\n\nOfficial facebook page: https://goo.gl/B3lYx3\n\nSHAUNAK SEN is a filmmaker\, video artist and film sholar based in Delhi. ‘Cities of Sleep’ (2016) his first feature length documentary film that has shown and won awards at various major international film festivals including the Dok Leipzig\, Taiwan International Film Festival\, the Seattle South Asian Film Festival among others.\n \nHe co-curated a live-event installation called Downtime held simultaneously at Delhi and Berlin (at the Goethe Institute in New Delhi and Neukölln in Berlin) in November 2014. He also co-curated a live performance/video installation event 'Notes on Mourning' at Khoj Studios in January 2015 (co-curated by Arnika Ahldag and Amitesh Grover). He attended the Copycat Academy Residency\, curated by Hannah Hurtzig at the Luminatos Film Festival in Toronto in June 2015. He has received the Pro Helvetia residency in Switzerland for 2016. He curated the group exhibition ‘A Brief History of Horizontality’ in Bern\, Switzerland in May 2016.\n\nShaunak was also the recipient of the Digital and Social Media Fellowship from Sarai in 2014\, as well as the Films Division of India Documentary Film Fellowship in 2013.. A mass communication graduate of AJK MCRC Jamia Milia\, New Delhi he is currently enrolled as a PhD student at the School of Arts and Aesthetics at the Jawahar Lal Nehru University in Delhi. His academic writing has been published in various journals including Bioscope and Widescreen. He has also worked as a journalist for Tehelka and as a freelance investigative journalist for other media portals.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar: Coexistence in diverse coflowering communities: importance of post-pollination interactions
DESCRIPTION:In the wild plants exist in multispecies groups and often share pollinators which can lead to exchange of pollen between different species. Interspecific pollen transfer leads to conspecific pollen loss and heterospecific pollen receipt\, the latter of which leads to a unique suite of plant-plant interactions on the stigma.  The question of how plant-pollinator interactions contribute to flowering plant communities has largely focused on plant traits that mediate pre-pollination interactions\, and ignored the potential for traits that mediate these post-pollination processes. In this talk I describe how common and complex post-pollination interactions can be in the wild\, especially in the diverse coflowering communities of the serpentine in California.  I further explore the diverse effects of heterospecific pollen receipt on plant fitness\, with a focus on understanding the traits that mediate this diversity.  I put forward a hypothesis for the involvement of post-pollination interactions in plant species coexistence and test elements of it with data from the serpentine seep communities.  By understanding the consequences of plant interactions via their shared pollinators we can better predict sustainability of natural flowering plant communities\, as well as the consequences of disruption of these from global change\, such as climate warming\, invasive species\, or pollinator decline.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Howard R. Marsh Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The FBI has classified environmentalists and animal rights advocates as the \"number one domestic terrorism threat.\" despite the fact that these social movements have never harmed a human being - instead\, these protesters have harmed corporate profits. In response\, corporations have successfully lobbied for new state and federal laws that reclassify non-violent civil disobedience as \"terrorism\,\" and recent legislation even criminalizes journalists and whistle blowers who expose environmental pollution or animal cruelty. \n\nInvestigative journalist Will Potter will discuss his own experiences being threatened by the FBI\, what he has uncovered about the corporate campaign to criminalize dissent\, and how these same tactics are now being used against Black Lives Matter and the protests against Donald Trump.\n\nWill Potter is an award-winning author and internationally-recognized civil liberties advocate. He is best known for his work challenging government repression and the labeling of protest as \"terrorism.\" Pulitzer Prize winner Glenn Greenwald described him as \"the most knowledgeable journalist in the country on these issues.\" After being awarded the prestigious Knight Wallace Fellowship in Law Reporting\, Will was appointed the Marsh Professor of Journalism at the University of Michigan\, where he teaches courses on investigative journalism\, social movements\, and whistleblowing. \n\nPBS said \"Will Potter goes where no other investigative journalist has gone\,\" and that applies to both his research and his advocacy of civil liberties. He was the first journalist to be selected as a TED Senior Fellow\, and his TED talks have now been viewed nearly 4 million times. He has lectured at more than 200 universities and forums around the world\, including Harvard Law School\, Yale University\, and the House of Democracy and Human Rights in Berlin.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Research on the ISIS frontline and with al-Qaeda Affiliates
DESCRIPTION:Uncompromising wars\, revolution\, rights movements\, and today’s global terrorism are in part driven by Devoted Actors who adhere to sacred or transcendent values that generate actions independently\, or all out of proportion\, from rationally expected outcomes\, calculated costs and consequences\, or likely risks and rewards. Field-based observation\, surveys and experimental studies in real-world political conflicts show ways in which Devoted Actors\, who are unconditionally committed to sacred causes\, and whose personal identities are fused within a unique collective identity\, willingly make costly sacrifices including fighting and dying\, thus enabling low-power groups to endure and often prevail against materially much stronger foes. Explaining how devoted actors come to sacrifice for cause and comrade not only is a scientific goal\, but also a practical imperative to prevent and resolve seemingly intractable intergroup disputes that can spiral out of control in a rapidly interconnecting world of collapsing and conflicting cultural traditions in search of salvation. Fieldwork and experiments in Europe\, North Africa and on the frontlines in the battle with the Islamic State in Iraq help to make the case.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology
DESCRIPTION:Determining whether a given finitely generated group of isometries is discrete is a formidable problem. Let $\Gamma$ be a rank 2 non-elementary subgroup of PSL(2\,R)\; J. Gilman and B. Maskit developed a discreteness algorithm which codified previously existing algorithms for all such $\Gamma$. We intend to motivate the discreteness problem\, give a synopsis of the Gilman-Maskit algorithm\, and share some efforts toward developing discreteness algorithms for higher rank groups.  In particular\, a discreteness algorithm for $\Gamma$ (as above) except generated by 3 parabolic isometries will be presented. Speaker(s): Caleb Ashley (UM)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Andrew Logan: The Artistic Adventure
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Logan’s work spans the fields of sculpture\, theater\, pageants\, jewelry\, and interior design. As a scene-maker Logan is the mastermind behind London’s long-running Alternative Miss World pageant. A celebration of transformation\, creative free-reign\, and the ordinary turned extraordinary\, the pageant features a counter-cultural parade of freaks\, fops\, show offs\, and drag queens. From his early fame amongst London’s fashionable and artistic crowd\, who have variously dubbed him ‘Faberge for the millennium’\, ‘The Wizard of Odd’\, and ‘mirror of our times’\, he has become an influential artist of international stature. The Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture in Wales is the only European museum dedicated to a living artist. Brian Eno said: “His work takes the risk of being completely clear in its intentions\, doesn’t obscure itself in artspeak\, and is unashamedly beautiful. […] He is also a ‘scene-maker’ — one of those rare people with the ability to bring out in others their sense of creativity and curiosity.”\n\nSupported by the University of Michigan Institute for Humanities and Chelsea River Gallery.

SUMMARY:Performance:\"Remnants\"
DESCRIPTION:\"Remnants\" is an award-winning\, minimalist piece that includes the voices of 3 men and 4 women\, currently presented as a one-man performance by the author. The play reflects more than 40 years of conversation between the playwright and a small group of Holocaust survivors. \"Remnants\" is thus not testimony\, but rather recreates memory as it erupts within sustained and deepening acquaintance.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Detroiters Speak: The Crisis in Public Education in Detroit Since the 1990s
DESCRIPTION:This panel will be moderated by Peter Hammer (WSU Detroit Equity Action Lab & Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights). \n\nSpeaker Bios:\n\nHELEN MOORE\n\nHelen Moore has been a life-long advocate and warrior for the children of Detroit\, beginning with her days as a State of Michigan Social Worker and continuing with Black Parents for Quality Education and The Keep the Vote No Takeover Coalition. She is also a member of Detroit’s Council of Elders. Ms. Moore educates her community on school district policy\, student rights\, and other education-related legal issues and parental involvement efforts. She earned a bachelor's degree from Wayne State University and a juris doctorate from the Detroit College of Law. \n\nBERNA RAVITZ\n\nMy passion for education began bubbling within me long before I could articulate it. As a youngster I was decidedly unchallenged by school. Ironically that led me to acquire a Bachelor’s in Psychology\, a Master’s in Education\, certification in Bilingual Education\, and finally\, a Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction. All of this was in pursuit of the magic formula for 'evening the playing field' for all of my students. I began utilizing gifted and talented strategies (constructivist education) and saw amazing results in the progress of our students. My Experience as Michigan Teacher of the Year\, National Distinguished Principal as well as an Educational Fulbright exchange allowed me such incredible experiences that are invaluable in my work even today. Upon retirement from my being a principal\, I worked for several years as an Educational Coach in Detroit Public Schools\; I currently dedicate my time towards fulfilling the mission of Simply Start Kids.\n\nRUSS BELLANT\n\nRuss Bellant is a retired City of Detroit employee\, President of the Helco Block Club\, President of the Detroit Library Commission\, member of the Detroit Public Schools Task Force and also a founding steering committee member of RESTORE northeast Detroit.
