The story goes that sometime in the early 1700s\, a young Danish nobleman by the name of Einar Gyldenstjerne fell in love and married an Elvish woman named Gwyneira (surname unknown) who shared the family recipe for how to create hard-paste porcelain. The first items produced by the company are dated to 1715. Soltis’ porcelain flowers in this tradition are assembled meticulously petal by petal. She studied ceramics at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit\, Michigan and is interested in European history and fiction.

Each colorful slice or cupcake invites sampling while her mirror cakes are intriguing brain teasers. Kelman began her love affair with glass in 1970. While studying chemistry in college\, she watched\, fascinated\, as the glassblower in her department created scientific equipment\, inspiring her to later teach herself lampworking (glass worked over a torch) and open a hot glass studio. Kelman bakes with glass at her home studio in Ann Arbor.

As a painter herself\, she appreciates the artistic design & futuristic ideas that robots awaken in people. As a child\, television programs like Lost in Space\, The Jetsons & Star Trek inspired Reed to dream large and wish for a real robot of her own.

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.

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.

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.

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 UID:44929-10012445@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170320T100705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170323T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170323T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:22nd Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners DESCRIPTION:The Prison Creative Arts Project is proud to announce the dates for the upcoming 22nd Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners.

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.

These groups produce innovative and engaging art across all fields and their presence enriches the culture of the University. Awards are designed to recognize achievements by student organizations in a wide range of disciplines\, including Theatre\, Music\, Dance\, Comedy and Improv\, Visual Arts\, Literary publications and more. Nominations are open from February 15- March 31\, and the entire campus will be encouraged to vote for the most deserving groups in each category online. Winners in each category will receive $100 for their organization\, plus other great prizes.\nConsider nominating your student org for their work: http://artsatmichigan.umich.edu/programs/accolades/ UID:39115-7705709@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/39115 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Comedy,Community Service,Culture,Dance,Exhibition,Festival,Film,Literature,Multicultural,Music,Poetry,Social Impact,Storytelling,Student Org,Theater,Visual Arts,Writing LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161208T125848 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170323T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170323T170000 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

With what degree of precision do you think you can predict the next thing your friend will say? Maybe you can guess the type of speech act\, but the exact words? What about what your friend will say in five minutes? For that matter\, with what degree of precision to you think you can predict exactly what you will say in five minutes? It seems impossible. However\, we know conversations must follow some type of agreed upon rules\, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to carry on conversions or to produce the types of outcomes that we desire (e.g.\, agreement\, support\, idea development). Though conversations are the basic mechanism by which humans accomplish everything from meeting a new person to building an economic system\, we know very little about how conversations work. If we understood\, Siri\, Cortana\, Alexa and Watson would be able to form a study group!

The formation of a state-level society at the Tilcajete sites has been documented through extensive horizontal excavations focused on the civic-ceremonial buildings at a two Formative Period sites in the southern branch of the Oaxaca Valley. This paper presents findings from 2 seasons of work in 2014 and 2016 focused on the residential sectors at El Mogote\, occupied during the Early Monte Albán I phase (500-300 B.C.) and El Palenque\, occupied during the Late Monte Albán I phase (300-100 B.C.). I examine residential variability within each site as well as change through time. I argue that the timing and nature of changes to residential architecture\, activities\, and assemblages reflect the dynamic role household decisions played in the sociopolitical transformations at the sites.

This lecture will focus on two Kansai region case studies of freely distributed print (sein) to show that it was not the trivial and ephemeral genre that current research makes it out to be. Rather\, it represents a vast repository of voices seeking an audience for messages they considered to be of urgent and long-lasting importance. \n \nNiels Van Steenpaal is an associate professor of Japanese History at Kyoto University. He is a cultural and intellectual historian with a primary research interest in “moral culture”\, a term that he uses to describe the pathways\, processes and media through which morality and (material) culture mutually influence each other.

In this talk\, we will discuss the basic properties of CM curves and their relation with the class field theory of imaginary quadratic fields. Time permitting\, I hope to sketch the l-adic proof of the integrality of j-invariant\, a result related to the \"conincidence\" that e^{pi sqrt(163)} is very close to an integer. The idea is to use Neron-Ogg-Shafarevich criterion and local class field theory to show that any CM curve has good reduction after some base change\, which is equivalent to having an integral j-invariant. This talk is aimed for learning\, so I will try to give as many details and examples as possible.\n\nReference: Silverman AEC 1 and 2.

The recent development of the clumped isotope paleothermometer has expanded the range of possible applications of these isotopic techniques to cover more environments and time periods. My research uses these isotopic tools to reconstruct past climate and ocean conditions during times of dynamic climate change. The end of the Cretaceous period was marked by turmoil with the massive Deccan Traps volcanic event and the Chicxulub meteorite impact combining to create the most famous of the “Big Five” mass extinctions. I will show new climate records from multiple localities spanning these final few tumultuous million years\, present evidence of volcanism-induced climate change\, and link these climate changes to extinction patterns. I will put these impressive climate shifts in the context of background climate conditions at the time through a global temperature dataset. Finally\, I will present an investigation of intriguing isotopic results from one site that reveal information about the life cycle of an extinct bivalve species and demonstrate the breadth of possible applications of these isotopic techniques.

This observation motivated the theoretical proposal that superconductivity in these systems may be driven by quantum critical fluctuations\, which in turn can also promote non-Fermi liquid behavior. In this talk\, we present a combined analytical and sign-problem-free Quantum Monte Carlo investigation of the spin-fermion model – a widely studied low-energy model for the interplay between superconductivity and magnetic fluctuations. By engineering a series of band dispersions that interpolate between near-nested and open Fermi surfaces\, and by also varying the strength of the spin-fermion interaction\, we find that the hot spots of the Fermi surface provide the dominant contribution to the pairing instability in this model. We show that the analytical expressions for Tc and for the pairing susceptibility\, obtained within a large-N Eliashberg approximation to the spin-fermion model\, agree well with the Quantum Monte Carlo data\, even in the regime of interactions comparable to the electronic bandwidth.

The module M of p^e-th roots of R is then the direct sum of so-called conic modules. With a quite combinatorial method we construct certain complexes of conic modules over R and explain how these yield projective resolutions of simple modules over the endomorphism ring End_R(M).\nThus we obtain a bound on the global dimension of End_R(M)\, which shows that this endomorphism ring is a noncommutative resolution of singularities (NCR) of R (or Spec(R)).

They joined an international movement that sought to make Spain the “tomb of fascism.” In the Michigan Daily\, news of the Spanish war unfolded on the front pages\, and debates erupted in the op-ed section. The Student Senate passed a resolution urging the U.S. government to lift the embargo on selling arms to Spain.

The experimental characterization of protein dynamics to fully uncover their role however is challenged by both the spatial heterogeneity of proteins and the rapid interconversion of potentially important conformational states. Our group combines the inherent temporal resolution of linear and two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy with the spatial resolution afforded by site-selective incorporation of vibrational reporter groups that provide frequency-resolved absorptions to characterize rapidly occurring changes in local environments in proteins. I will share several vignettes about our application of this approach toward understanding the molecular recognition of protein systems: Src homology 3 domain recognition of proline-rich motifs\, cytochrome P450cam regioselectivity\, and plastocyanin recognition by cytochrome f. Our studies resolve rapid dynamics at specific locations in the proteins and implicate their involvement in function. \nMegan Thielges (University of Indiana) UID:39682-8241163@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/39682 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170116T085507 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170323T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170323T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Lecture: Human Rights without Human Supremacism DESCRIPTION:Several recent theories of human rights have appealed to the idea that human rights can be grounded on some account of human dignity. Critics of these `dignitarian’ accounts argue that the idea of human dignity is vague to the point of emptiness\, and lacks any determinate content. In fact\, however\, recent discussions of human dignity all make one very specific claim: namely\, that humans must not be treated in the same way we treat animals. Whatever else human dignity requires\, it requires that we give humans a much higher status than we give animals. In this respect\, dignitarian defenses of human rights follow in a long line of other supremacist accounts of human rights\, all of which are as concerned to argue that animals do not deserve rights as they are to argue that humans do deserve rights. I will suggest that the human rights project will be much stronger\, both philosophically and politically\, if it jettisons such supremacist defenses. There is growing evidence that the more people draw a sharp species hierarchy between humans and animals\, the more they draw hierarchies amongst humans\, weakening the rights of subaltern groups. Defending human rights on the backs of animals is not only philosophically suspect\, but politically self-defeating. \n \nSpeaker Bio: \nWill Kymlicka received his B.A. in philosophy and politics from Queen's University in 1984\, and his D.Phil. in philosophy from Oxford University in 1987.

It identifi es the effects of bombing by exploiting rounding thresholds in an algorithm used to target air strikes. Bombing increased the military and political activities of the communist insurgency\, weakened local governance\, and reduced non-communist civic engagement. The study also exploits a spatial discontinuity across neighboring military regions\, which pursued different counterinsurgency strategies. A strategy emphasizing overwhelming firepower plausibly increased insurgent attacks and worsened attitudes towards the U.S. and South Vietnamese government\, relative to a hearts and minds oriented approach.

In recent years\, advances in phylogenetic inference methods have provided ways to integrate fossil and extant taxa. These approaches allow simultaneous estimation of the divergence times and phylogenetic relationships of extant and fossil species\, thus making full use of morphological and temporal data\, rather than just molecular sequence data from living species. I will highlight our recent and ongoing work using the fossilized birth-death process to estimate species phylogenies and divergence times. Both simulation and empirical studies demonstrate how making full use of available fossil data and properly modeling lineage sampling and diversification improve estimates of species divergence times. \n\nSponsored by the U-M Museum of Zoology Theodore H.

In this talk\, Obasogie will discuss his research with blind people about the role of race and racial perception in their everyday lives. What he finds is rather surprising: blind people understand and\, in a sense\, “see” race just like anyone else. So what does this mean for how we live and the laws that govern our society? Obasogie delves into these questions and uncovers how colorblindness in law\, public policy\, and culture will not lead to the racial utopia it promises. \n\nOsagie K. Obasogie is Haas Distinguished Chair and Professor of Bioethics at the University of California\, Berkeley\, in the Joint Medical Program and School of Public Health. He is also a Senior Fellow at the Center for Genetics and Society. Obasogie's scholarly interests include Constitutional law\, bioethics\, sociology of law\, and reproductive and genetic technologies. His writings have spanned both academic and public audiences\, with journal articles in venues such as the Law & Society Review\, University of Pennsylvania Journal of Constitutional Law\, Stanford Technology Law Review\, and the Journal of Law\, Medicine\, and Ethics along with commentaries in outlets including the New York Times\, Slate\, the Los Angeles Times\, Boston Globe\, San Francisco Chronicle\, Scientific American\, and New Scientist. His first book\, Blinded By Sight: Seeing Race Through the Eyes of the Blind (Stanford University Press) was awarded the Herbert Jacob Book Prize by the Law and Society Association and his second book Beyond Bioethics: Toward a New Biopolitics (with Marcy Darnovsky) is under contract with the University of California Press. Obasogie received his B.A. in Sociology and Political Science from Yale University\, his J.D. from Columbia Law School\, and his Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of California\, Berkeley.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

Williams\, M.D.\, FACS\, found himself thrust into the middle of a national crisis. A peaceful protest about police treatment of African Americans had ended in bloodshed\, with 12 officers shot by a lone gunman. Williams led the team that worked to save their lives – and emerged with a new drive to confront violence and racism. \nOn March 23\, he’ll share his story with leaders\, scholars and community members from U-M and southeastern Michigan\, at a special symposium on violent interactions between law enforcement and black Americans. \nThe event will take a look at the public health impacts of such interactions -- as well as the historical and current factors that play into it. It’s designed to bring people from many fields together to work toward solutions by joining action teams that will continue their work after the event is over.\nRSVPs are now being accepted for the symposium\, which will run from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Auditorium of the School of Public Health II building at 1420 Washington Heights. Light refreshments will be served. \nThe event was organized by Washtenaw County’s Public Health and Sheriff’s departments\; U-M’s Department of Internal Medicine\, Office of Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion\, School of Public Health\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, and Students of Color of Rackham\; as well as Eastern Michigan University and My Brother’s Keeper-Washtenaw County. \nIn addition to Williams\, the event will feature a panel of speakers that includes the Washtenaw County sheriff\, a former state representative\, and a U-M professor and postdoctoral fellow – with a Wayne State University leader acting as moderator. \nThe event will explore how individuals can advocate for social justice\, anti-bias reforms\, and community building\, how community mobilization be used as a strategy to promote social cohesion and community-level advocacy for safer environments for all\, and potential strategies to address the upstream and downstream factors resulting in violent interactions between law enforcement and blacks. \nThe event is free and open to the public. Community members\, students\, public policy and health professionals\, social scientists\, legislators\, and law enforcement are especially encouraged to attend.\nRSVP at http://bit.ly/SymposiumRSVP UID:39763-8290326@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/39763 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:African American,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Law,Medicine,Public Health,Public Policy,Social Justice,symposium LOCATION:Public Health II - Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170323T180010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170323T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170323T190000 SUMMARY:Other:Workshop - Entrepreneurship DESCRIPTION:Please RSVP in the link below:\nhttps://goo.gl/forms/WEIG82AkiM0jls4V2\n\nEver heard of entrepreneurship?

They joined an international movement that sought to make Spain the “tomb of fascism.” In the Michigan Daily\, news of the Spanish war unfolded on the front pages\, and debates erupted in the op-ed section. The Student Senate passed a resolution urging the U.S. government to lift the embargo on selling arms to Spain. Students formed an aid committee\, held rallies\, and raised funds to send an ambulance to Spain. Three students volunteered for the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and fought in Spain\, one of whom would never return. In this conference students will present their original research on anti-fascist student activism at U-M.\n\nAll events are free and open to the public.\n\nThursday\, March 23\n\n4:00pm – Lecture and piano recital by María Isabel Pérez Dobarro: “Music of the Republic and Spanish Civil War” (Michigan League\, Koessler Room)\n5:20pm – Reception\n6:30pm – Screening of film: Invisible Heroes: African Americans in the Spanish Civil War\, followed by a discussion with the co-director Alfonso Domingo (Ann Arbor District Library\, Multi-purpose Room)\n\nFriday\, March 24 (Michigan League\, Concourse and Vandenberg Room)\n\n11:00am – Coffee and snacks\n11:30am - 12:30pm – Panel I: Catholicism and Anti-Clericalism and the Spanish Civil War\n12:30 - 1:30pm – Lunch\n1:30 - 3:30pm – Panel II: Michigan Volunteers in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade\n3:30pm – Coffee break\n4:00 - 5:20pm – Keynote address I by Peter N.

Dada is everything and nothing\; Dada is dead\; Dada is alive\; Dada is a well-meaning contradiction. It was politically in reaction to current events and sometimes playfully in search of new art forms. With the newer works screening in response to the original Dada films\, we ask whether contemporary filmmakers are able to evoke the spirit of Dada: do their films simply exhibit formal similarities or do they come from kindred spirits?\n\nTyler Whitney (German Studies) will give a short introduction before the screening.

Darrell has written some of the sharpest country songs around (like the Dixie Chicks' \"Long Time Gone\")\, and he can play just about anything with strings. He's toured with Robert Plant's bluegrass-oriented Band of Joy\, and\, as a singer\, songwriter\, and instrumentalist he's been an artist to whom many in Nashville turn for a shot of inspiration. He comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Couchville Sessions.\" He makes most of his music at a home studio in rural Tennessee. If you've never seen Darrell Scott\, he's something of an undiscovered treasure of American music\, and he's at his best in intimate settings like The Ark.
