SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Causal Inference in Education Research Seminar (CIERS): Nudging at a National Scale: Experimental Evidence from a FAFSA Completion Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nDespite substantial and growing interest in behavioral science interventions in education\, we currently lack evidence about whether nudge interventions that have generated positive impacts on postsecondary outcomes at a local level can be scaled—and can maintain efficacy—nationally. We also have little evidence about the specific mechanisms underlying the positive impacts of promising smaller-scale nudges. We investigate\, through a randomized controlled trial\, the impact of a national information-only financial aid nudge campaign that reached over 450\,000 high school seniors who had registered with the Common Application\, a national non-profit organization through which students can apply to multiple colleges and universities in one application. In this version of the paper we report on the impact of three different variations in nudge content—concretizing the financial benefits of FAFSA completion\, positive trait activation\, or providing concrete planning prompts—on students’ initial college enrollment outcomes. We find that providing students with concrete planning prompts about when and how to complete the FAFSA increased college enrollment by 1.1 percentage points overall\, and by 1.7 percentage points for first-generation college students. Messages that take a traditional human capital investments approach of emphasizing the financial benefits associated with FAFSA completion do not appear to increase college enrollment. At a per-student cost of $0.50\, the impact to cost ratio of this national nudge campaign exceeds that of other interventions to improve college enrollment among low-income and first-generation students.

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lobby exhibit\, curated by University of Michigan musicologist Mark Clague\, illustrates through interpretive panels\, historical documents and photographs\, the cultural 200-year history of “The Star-Spangled Banner” (1814–2014).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:Here and There
DESCRIPTION:\"Here and There\"  looks at the problems of extreme poverty\, and includes artist Tracey Snelling's signature piece \"One Thousand Shacks.\" New works--created on campus during her three-week residency--will examine these issues in the US\, how they relate to location and\, at times\, the disenfranchisement of large groups of people for the sake of big business\, political clout\, and power. \n\nCurator's Statement:\n\nTo meet artist Tracey Snelling evokes the sensation of a strong willed breeze determined to open a backyard door. \n\nAs an artist and person\, she is down to earth\, direct\, contemporary\, and moving through it all with volition. \n\nSnelling’s artistic practice originally focused on photography as a medium\, but soon evolved to include her construction of sculptures based upon cities and towns\, strip malls and urban housing. \n\nShe refers to her three dimensional work as sculptural rather than diorama or model making because she isn’t particularly interested in the exact rendering of location\, or the contextualization of place. Instead\, she taps into the energy of community and its humanness—restless\, frenetic\, din\, a choir\, extending beyond the confines of walls. \n\nSnelling’s representations are neither judgmental nor opportunistic. They unaffectedly and objectively offer a multidimensional sketch of a place in time\, how we occupy space. \n\nHer signature piece \"One Thousand Shacks\" (included in this exhibition along with new work created during her her residency here) pushes up against the challenges of economic inequalities\, racial biases\, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people. Concurrently\, the installation embraces our everyday existence expressed through Snelling’s exuberant palette\, bold graphics\, video and neon. \n\nConceptually\, Snelling’s stacking method first creates an exalted “big picture” with a myriad of colors\, image\, text\, sound and light. The counterpoint in scale soon immerses the viewer into each small world. With this shift\, the onlooker becomes the active participant\, the occupant in situ\, adding the trappings of their own experiences to each tableau. It is this shift that forces the viewer into a new way of seeing from varying perspectives.\n\nOn the one hand\, the artist’s sculptures allude to our desire for refuge\, a private domain that allows us to be ourselves. On the other\, the overall composition reaffirms it is imperative that we co-exist with one another respectfully\, forge relationships\, understanding our marked differences. It is diversity—the unique and often disparate combination of things\, the cacophony of it all\, that activates communities and public space.\n\nSnelling’s constructions literally build a way out\, one on top of another\, charged with the undercurrent of the way we live. They emphasize our universal longing to find a place called home\, and be accepted\, built on the foundation of one and of many. \n–Amanda Krugliak\, Arts Curator\, Institute for the Humanities\n\nAbout Tracey Snelling:\nThrough the use of sculpture\, photography\, video\, and large-scale installation\, Tracey Snelling gives her impression of a place\, its people and their experience. Often\, the cinematic image stands in for real life as it plays out behind windows in the buildings\, sometimes creating a sense of mystery\, other times stressing the mundane. Snelling’s work derives from voyeurism\, film noir\, and geographical and architectural location. Within this idea of location\, themes develop that transport observation into the realm of storytelling\, with reality and sociological study being the focus. Snelling had exhibited in international galleries\, museums and institutions\, including the The Royal Museum of Fine Arts\, Belgium\; Palazzo Reale\, Milan\; Museum of Arts and Design\, New York\; Kunstmuseen Krefeld Germany\; El Museo de Arte de Banco de la Republica\, Bogota\; the Stenersen Museet\, Oslo\, and the Sundance Film Festival. Her short films have screened at the San Francisco International Film Festival\, the Thessaloniki International Film Festival\, Circuito Off in Venice\, Italy\, and the Arquiteturas Film Festival Lisboa in Portugal. She also received a 2015 Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors Grant. Snelling lives and works in Oakland\, California and Berlin\, Germany.

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: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:CREES Noon Lecture. Between Political and Social Constraints: Christian Movements in Contemporary Central Asia
DESCRIPTION:Although the five Central Asian republics are majority Muslim\, they are also home to many Christian—Orthodox\, Catholic\, Armenian and Protestant—minorities. Most of these communities consist of Slavic or European minorities (Russians\, Germans\, Poles\, Armenians\, etc.). In addition\, post-Soviet liberalization enabled Protestants to gain a strong footing by converting thousands of Central Asian Muslims. After a brief introduction on the history and presence of Christian movements in the region\, this presentation will address the link between religion and nationality\, and its impact on the management of Christian minorities by the governments. \n \nFor many officials\, as well as parts of the Muslim and Christian populations\, religious belonging should follow from nationality. However\, Christian proselytism has challenged this principle. For years\, the Muslim population\, ulema\, and the Russian Orthodox Church have denounced the increasing numbers of conversions. The governments have responded by introducing numerous legislative restrictions on religious freedom since the 1990\, including ban on proselytizing. From the Christian minority prospective\, this presentation will explore the contrast between the governments' claims of religious renewal versus the limitations imposed by their religious management policies. \n\nSebastien Peyrouse\, PhD\, is a research professor at the Central Asia Program in the Institute for European\, Russian and Eurasian Studies (George Washington University) and a senior fellow at the East West Institute. He worked six years in Central Asia and was Research Fellow at Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars\, Washington D.C. (October 2006-June 2007). His main areas of expertise are political systems in Central Asia\, economic and social issues\, Islam and religious minorities\, and Central Asia’s geopolitical positioning toward China\, India and South Asia. He has published several monographs\, such as \"Christians Between Atheism and Islam: Studies of Religion in Soviet and Post-Soviet Central Asia\" (Maisonneuve et Larose\, 2003\, in French)\, \"Turkmenistan. Strategies of Power\, Dilemmas of Development\" (M. E. Sharpe\, November 2011).\n\nPart of the Minorities series at the Weiser Center for Europe & Eurasia\, which focuses on the fates and challenges various minorities face\, from ethnic and racial groups to people with disabilities and members of LGBT communities. How do different political regimes come to define groups as minorities\, and how do they engage with them as a result? What can the experience of minorities in the other parts of the world teach us?

DESCRIPTION:Kinematic space was originally defined in AdS3 as the space of geodesics. In this talk\, I will generalize the concept of kinematic space to higher dimensions. Fields can be defined on this kinematic space\, and these fields can be identified with \"OPE blocks\,\" contributions to the OPE from a single conformal family. In holographic theories\, the OPE blocks are dual at leading order in 1/N to integrals of effective bulk fields along geodesics or homogeneous minimal surfaces in anti-de Sitter space. Thus\, these operators pave the way for generalizing the Ryu-Takayanagi relation to other bulk fields. The dynamics of bulk fields are related to the dynamics of kinematic space fields via the intertwining property of integral transformations. In particular\, the linearized gravitational equations are shown to be equivalent to a gauge-invariant wave equation on kinematic space.\n\nReferences:\n1) Equivalent Equations of Motion for Gravity and Entropy.\nBy Bartlomiej Czech\, Lampros Lamprou\, Samuel McCandlish\, Benjamin Mosk\, James Sully.\n[arXiv:1608.06282 [hep-th]].\n10.1007/JHEP02(2017)004.\nJHEP 1702 (2017) 004.\n\n2) Holographic equivalence between the first law of entanglement entropy and the linearized gravitational equations.\nBy Benjamin Mosk.\n[arXiv:1608.06292 [hep-th]].\n10.1103/PhysRevD.94.126001.\nPhys.Rev.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lasting Synergies
DESCRIPTION:The history of the Ann Arbor Film Festival is inextricably linked with the history of the University of Michigan. With support from the U-M Bicentennial Committee and working with designer Melissa Gomis\, students in Terri Sarris’ Screen Arts course (SAC 304) worked with ephemera from the Festival archives at U-M’s Bentley Historical Library to create a small pop-up exhibition exploring aspects of the Festival's history. UM faculty and former student work exhibited at past fests will loop on monitors in the gallery.\n\nNote: Opening Reception\, Tuesday\, March 21\,  2:00-4:00 pm. \n\nA special thanks to Philip Hallman\, Film Studies Field Librarian\; Melissa Gomis\, Exhibition designer\; and Cinda Nofziger\, Bentley Historical Library\, for their help and input. Made possible with the generous support of the Bicentennial Theme Semester committee.\n\nPhoto: Terri Sarris' 304 class poses for a group photo: (from left to right\, front) Rachael Kerr\, Brigitte Matteson\, Eli Winer (back) Terri Sarris\, Geri Bryson\, Sam Goldin\, Shelby Polisuk.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Medieval Lunch. Making Chaucer in the 'Un-English' Book
DESCRIPTION:Cambridge University Library\, MS Gg.4.27 (hereafter Gg)\, iconic for its early attempt to collect Chaucer’s works in a single codex\, is much more rarely remembered for containing the only “complete” copy of a pair of anonymous macaronic poems usually anthologized as De Amico ad amicam and Responcio. Taking the trilingual lyric diptych as a starting point\, this talk considers the significance of this largely Middle English\, largely Chaucerian book as a multilingual archive. Thus\, my study complicates the conventional understanding of Gg’s place in the formation of a Chaucerian and\, in turn\, English literary canon. Along the way\, I offer revised explanations for some enduring puzzles surrounding the manuscript. For instance\, I read Gg’s seemingly arbitrary inclusion of non-Chaucerian works—some of which\, including our macaronic poems\, rarely appear among the poet’s extensive apocrypha—alongside its distinct orthography or\, to borrow Eleanor Hammond’s words\, “un-English miswritings.” Such peculiarities point toward a renewed interpretation of the manuscript less as a windfall contribution to the growing authority of Chaucer and the English language in the later medieval period and more as a destabilizing factor in that narrative.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Vaccine Court: The Law and Politics of Injury
DESCRIPTION:Discussants : \n-ANNA KIRKLAND\, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor\; Associate Professor of Women's Studies and Political Science\; Associate Director\, IRWG\n-SHOBITA PARTHASARATHY\, Associate Professor of Public Policy and Women's Studies\; Director\, Science\, Technology\, and Public Policy Program\n-PETER D. JACOBSON\, Professor of Health Law and Policy\, Director\, Center for Law\, Ethics\, and Health\n\nThis panel of U-M faculty members will discuss the recent book\, \"Vaccine Court: The Law and Politics of Injury\" (NYU Press\, December 2016) by Anna Kirkland.\n\nThe so-called vaccine court is a small special court in the United States Court of Federal Claims that handles controversial claims that a vaccine has harmed someone. While vaccines in general are extremely safe and effective\, some people still suffer severe vaccine reactions and bring their claims to vaccine court. In this court\, lawyers\, activists\, judges\, doctors\, and scientists come together\, sometimes arguing bitterly\, trying to figure out whether a vaccine really caused a person’s medical problem.\n\nIn \"Vaccine Court\"\, Kirkland draws on the trials of the vaccine court to explore how legal institutions resolve complex scientific questions. What are vaccine injuries\, and how do we come to recognize them? What does it mean to transform these questions into a legal problem and funnel them through a special national vaccine court\, as we do in the U.S.? What does justice require for vaccine injury claims\, and how can we deliver it? These are highly contested questions\, and the terms in which they have been debated over the last forty years are highly revealing of deeper fissures in our society over motherhood\, community\, health\, harm\, and trust in authority. While many scholars argue that it’s foolish to let judges and lawyers decide medical claims about vaccines\, Kirkland argues that our political and legal response to vaccine injury claims shows how well legal institutions can handle specialized scientific matters. Vaccine Court is an accessible and thorough account of what the vaccine court is\, why we have it\, and what it does.\n\nThis event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:We prove that a variance swap has the same price as a co-terminal European-style contract\, when the underlying is a Markov process\, time-changed by a general continuous stochastic clock\, which is allowed to have general correlation with the driving Markov process\, which is allowed to have state-dependent jump distributions. The European contract’s payoff function satisfies an ordinary integro-differential equation\, which depends only on the dynamics of the Markov process\, not on the clock. In some examples\, the payoff function that prices the variance swap can be computed explicitly. \n\nJoint work with Peter Carr and Matt Lorig. Speaker(s): Roger Lee (University of Chicago)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Macroeconomics: Missing Growth from Creative Destruction
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nStatistical agencies typically impute inflation for disappearing products from the inflation rate for surviving products. As some products disappear precisely because they are displaced by better products\, inflation may be lower at these points than for surviving products. As a result\, creative destruction may result in overstated inflation and understated growth. We use a simple model to relate this “missing growth” to the frequency and size of various kinds of innovations. Using U.S. Census data\, we then apply two ways of assessing the magnitude of missing growth for all private nonfarm businesses for 1983–2013. The first approach exploits information on the market share of surviving plants. The second approach applies indirect inference to firm-level data. We find: (i) missing growth from imputation is substantial — 0.5 percentage points per year when using the first approach\, 1 percentage point per year using the second method\; and (ii) almost all of the missing growth is due to creative destruction (as opposed to new varieties).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Master or Servant? Public Opinion\, Polling\, and Democratic Responsiveness in Korea
DESCRIPTION:This event was rescheduled from March 15\, due to weather-related issues.\n\nCo-sponsored by the Department of Political Science and Political Scientists of Color (PSOC).\n\n\"Political responsiveness\" is a foundation stone of modern democracies\, entailing an expectation that governments will heed and reckon the interests and demands of the polities they govern over and for with some regularity. To date the political science study of responsiveness is largely the province of scholars of American politics and its presence sought by matching the timing of changes in public opinion (as measured by opinion polls) to the timing of legislative debate and decision. This paper aims to extend the parameters of the study of political responsiveness in several aspects. First\, it examines responsiveness in non-U.S. contexts\, with South Korea as the primary focus and comparisons to Taiwan and Japan. Second\, it adopts a more critical standpoint on the nature of public opinion and its relation to polling and political responsiveness. Rather than assuming that polls correspond faithfully to mass opinion qua democratic publics\, it unpacks this association by tracing the historical evolution of modern polling and assessing the quality of polling data as a measure of mass opinion. Third\, rather than testing for the statistical congruence of polling data and legislative action\, this paper relies principally on in-depth interviews of experts representing the organizational field of polling on elections and politics in Korea\, Japan\, and Taiwan. The (preliminary) findings show a far more multifaceted\, if not democratically distressing\, view of the relationship between polling\, public opinion\, and political responsiveness than previous\, U.S.-based accounts of \"rational publics.\" \n\nTaeku Lee is Professor of Political Science and Professor of Law at Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG Seminar on Geometry\, Dynamics and Topology
DESCRIPTION:Farb and Mosher introduced the notion of convex cocompactness from Kleinian groups to the theory of mapping class groups\, with the beautiful application of potentially producing atoroidal non-hyperbolic groups of finite type\, which would provide counterexamples to Gromov's coarse-hyperbolization conjecture for infinite groups.  I'll give an overview of the foundations of the theory and the current state of things. Speaker(s): Autumn Kent (University of Wisconsin)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Agency of Color: Art and Race in Eighteenth Century
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, I would like to better define the instrumental role played by the arts of color in the surprising process of articulating the category of race to that of skin color. While natural history\, political history\, aesthetics have already been the subject of remarkable historical and epistemological work regarding the emerging category of race under the Ancien Régime\, there seems to be\, still\, a compelling case to address by studying the role of images and of fine arts in their expository and material specificities. Indeed\, I would like to expose how\, in the Eighteenth Century\, their very means were fundamentally entangled with the anchoring of race in skin color. \n\nAnne Lafont is associate professor in art history at the University of East Paris/Marne-la-Vallée.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Institute for Social Research and Social Science at the University and Michigan and Beyond: 1946-1970
DESCRIPTION:After 1945\, many of the founders of the Institute for Social Research (ISR) arrived at Michigan fresh from wartime service in the federal government to establish a new interdisciplinary\, problem-centered\, approach to social inquiry. Situated in ISR and eventually in disciplinary homes in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts (including psychology\, sociology\, political science\, and economics)\, their research expanded and defined national survey and experimental methods as key underpinnings for modern social science. They shared a democratizing vision of the importance of accurate and timely social measurement in an urbanizing and modernizing world. Panelists will explore this early history of ISR.\n\nProfessor Burnstein\, professor emeritus of psychology\, received his AB degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1954 and his PhD degree from the University of Michigan in 1960. From 1959 to 1962 he was an assistant professor at the University of Texas and then Michigan State University. He joined the University of Michigan faculty as a visiting assistant professor and program director in the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research in 1962. He was appointed assistant professor in 1963\, associate professor in 1964\, and professor in 1968\, and within the Research Center for Group Dynamics was promoted to research scientist in 1973 and senior research scientist in 1997. From 1988-2000\, Professor Burnstein also served as chair of the Department of Psychology's Social Psychology Area. He retired from active faculty status on May 31\, 2002.\n\nJames House is Angus Campbell Distinguished University Professor Emeritus of Survey Research\, Public Policy\, and Sociology\, and an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, the Institute of Medicine\, and the National Academy of Sciences.  His research career has focused on the role of social and psychological factors in the etiology and course of health and illness\, initially on occupational stress and health\, then social relationships and support in relation to health\, and currently on the role of psychosocial factors in understanding and alleviating social disparities in health and the way health changes with age. He has taught courses in social psychology\, social determinants and disparities in health\, and applications of these to social policy.\n\nRobert Kahn is research scientist in the Institute for Social Research\, professor emeritus of psychology\, and professor emeritus of health services management and policy.  His research on organizations and as a survey research methodologist is internationally renowned.  He retired from active faculty status in 1988.  \n\nDonald Kinder is the Philip E. Converse Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Political Science.  His research includes comparisons of explicit and implicit forms of prejudice and their consequences for contemporary American political life\, misunderstanding of ideology in the study of American politics\, gender and race as alternative forms for political organization\, and the transformation of racial politics in the United States since Myrdal.\n\nMargaret Levenstein is Director of the Interuniversity Consortium for Political and Social Research\, Research Professor at the Survey Research Center in the Institute for Social Research and at the School of Information\, and Adjunct Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business.  She has taught economics at the University of Michigan since 1990. She also serves as Executive Director of the Michigan Federal Statistical Research Data Center and co-PI of the Michigan Center for the Demography of Aging\, where she has responsibility for access to restricted data resources.  She is the Associate Chair of the American Economic Association’s Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession and past President of the Business History Conference.  She is the author of numerous studies on competition and collusion\, the development of information systems\, and using “organic” data to improve social and economic measurement.\n\nRobert Pachella is a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan and a faculty counselor in the Undergraduate Honors Program.  He studies both human perception and performance and the forensic applications of cognitive psychology.\n\nFrank Stafford joined the UM faculty in the 1966-67 academic year and has served as Chair of Economics. His current research at the Survey ResearchCenter involves design and management of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) as a Co-Principal Investigator. In May of 2000 the PSID was selected as one of NSF’s ‘Nifty Fifty\,\" the 50 projects which the NSF identified as most interesting or significant in their 50 year history.  He has intermittently advised a research team in Israel and in 2014 and 2015 has worked with a team at the National University of Singapore to develop an national panel for Singapore. \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:Other:Author's Forum Presents: \"A Perfect Life\": A Conversation with Eileen Pollack and Tim McKay
DESCRIPTION:Eileen Pollack (U-M English professor) reads from her latest novel \"A Perfect Life\,\" followed by a conversation with Tim McKay\, U-M professor of physics\, astronomy\, and education\; then Q & A and book signing.\n\nAbout \"A Perfect Life\":\nA luminous and insightful novel that considers the moral complexities of scientific discovery and the sustaining nature of love. A young researcher at MIT\, Jane Weiss is obsessed with finding the genetic marker for Valentine’s Disease\, a neurodegenerative disorder. Her pursuit is deeply personal—Valentine’s killed her mother\, and she and her freewheeling sister\, Laurel\, could be genetic carriers\; each has a fifty percent chance of developing the disease. Having seen firsthand the devastating effect Valentine’s had on her parents’ marriage\, Jane is terrified she might become a burden on whomever she falls in love with and so steers clear of romantic entanglement. Then\, the summer before her father’s second wedding\, Jane falls hard for her future stepbrother\, Willie. But Willie’s father also died from Valentine’s\, raising the odds that their love will end in tragedy.\nWhen Willie bolts at a crucial moment in their relationship\, Jane becomes obsessed with finding the genetic marker to the disease that threatens both their families. But if she succeeds in making history\, will she and her sister have the courage to face the truth this newfound knowledge could hold for their lives? A Perfect Life is a novel of scientific and self discovery\, about learning how to embrace life and love\, no matter what may come.

SUMMARY:Other:Eileen Pollack \"A Perfect Life\"
DESCRIPTION:Love and science converge in Eileen Pollack’s luminous new novel\, A Perfect Life. With singular insight and narrative grace\, Pollack explores the moral complexities of scientific discovery through the story of a brilliant research biologist facing heartrending decisions about her personal life and the fate that genetics may have preordained for her. \n\nJane Weiss is a young post doc at MIT who is obsessed with finding the genetic marker for Valentine’s disease\, a neurodegenerative disorder that killed her mother. With the clear vision of a scientist\, she knows that she and her sister each stand a fifty percent chance of inheriting the disease\, and her research is fueled by a need to discover if they are genetic carriers. Having witnessed the devastating effect that Valentine’s had on her parents’ marriage\, Jane has vowed to steer clear of love unless she is sure she is free of the disease\, refusing to become a burden on anyone else. But that determination is upended when she meets and falls in love with Willie\, whose own father died of Valentine’s. Suddenly\, with the very real possibility of their relationship ending in tragedy\, her research takes on a new ferocity.\n\n“A Perfect Life probes how we live in the face of uncertainty and the ways risk can both disable and empower us. Eileen Pollack has crafted a tender exploration of family love that is as smart and thought-provoking as it is moving.”--Celeste Ng\, author of Everything I Never Told You\n\n“Like Richard Powers’s The Gold Bug Variations and Allegra Goodman’s Intuition\, Eileen Pollack’s compelling novel offers an intimate portrait of scientists engaged in research with the potential to change all our lives—and equally engaged in relationships that change their own lives.\"--Andrea Barrett\, author of Ship Fever and Servants of the Map\n\n“A tense scientific mystery propels this gripping novel\, but what resonates most powerfully are the keenly observed discoveries Jane makes about even deeper mysteries: the risks and pleasures of being human\, and the nuances—as well as the costs—of love.”--Kim Edwards\, author of The Memory-Keeper's Daughter\n\nWith both an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and a BS in physics from Yale\, Eileen Pollack is uniquely positioned to have written A Perfect Life\, bringing both a fiction-writer’s sensibility and a scientific background to the novel. She is the author of two previous novels\, two story collections\, and two books of nonfiction\, and has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Michener Foundation and the Rona Jaffe Foundation. Her work has been included in both the Best American Short Stories and the Best American Essays series. Pollack has been a professor at the Helen Zell MFA Program at the University of Michigan since 1999\, and was a director of the program for five years. She now divides her time between Ann Arbor and Manhattan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:March Science Café: Can Nutrition\, Stress\, and Environmental Exposures Change Your DNA?
DESCRIPTION:Epigenetics is the science of gene expression\, and research suggests that while our experiences may not change our DNA sequence\, experience and environment can and do change the shape and chemistry of our DNA. These changes can affect whether or how much a gene is expressed. Stress and trauma can also change other aspects of our biology. Join three researchers as we discuss the biological effects of past nutrition\, stress\, and toxicant exposures on our health and well-being. Are these changes heritable? Can diet and exercise protect our DNA?\n\nSpeakers include Kelly Bakulski and Dana Dolinoy of the U-M School of Public Health\, and Srijan Sen of the Department of Psychiatry at Michigan Medicine.\n\nThis cafe is sponsored by Sigma Xi\, The Scientific Research Society.\n\nScience Cafés provide an opportunity for audiences to discuss current research topics with experts in an informal setting. Hors d’oeuvres at 5:30 p.m.\; program 6:00-7:30 p.m.  Seating is limited - come early.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Socrates of Kamchatka
DESCRIPTION:Irina Patkanian\, writer and director. In Russian with English subtitles (52 min.\, 2017).\n\n“Socrates of Kamchatka” blends documentary and fiction to tell a story about a “new Russian” entrepreneur Anfisa and her horse Socrates. From the documentary thread of the film we learn the story of Anfisa during the past 30 years: a happy childhood during Brezhnev’s totalitarian socialism of the 1980s\; hard times during Yeltsin’s chaotic 1990s\; founding and running a successful tourist company during Putin’s nationalism of the 2000s. In 2010 Anfisa acquired four horses for her company. In 2012 her horses were killed for no other reason\, but to “punish” Anfisa for her economic success. One of them was called Socrates. \n    \nSocrates’ voiceover is written in the tradition of “skaz” – a Russian subliterary idiom. Humorous and sad\, mixing folk lyricism and newspaper verbiage\, opinion and fact\, Socrates’ subliterary poeticity echoes and subverts the conventions of mainstream discourse. \n\nThis film is part of the Ann Arbor Film Festival. Co-sponsors are the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies and the Ann Arbor Distilling Co.
