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.

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:44929-10012450@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:20170315T155438 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T100000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Thesis defense: Quantifying and understanding intragenic and intergenic epistasis in yeast DESCRIPTION:EEB graduate student Chuan Li defends her thesis.

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:39115-7705714@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:20170328T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T170000 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.

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.

His talk will provide a brief overview of the data and methodological resources that are available to IHPI members\, focusing on several large\, national claims databases as well as support for quantitative and mixed methods through consultations with expert faculty.\n\nLauren Schmitz's Abstract\n\nThis study exploits administrative earnings records matched to detailed genetic and sociodemographic data in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) to estimate whether the educational environment\, as captured by state-level differences in average years of schooling\, modify the associations between genetic propensity for educational attainment and individual schooling\, and genetic propensity for educational attainment and lifetime earnings. To capture the complex genetic architecture that underlies the bio-developmental pathways\, behavioral traits\, and evoked environments associated with educational attainment\, we calculate polygenic scores (PGSs) for respondents in the HRS derived from a recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) for years of schooling. We find evidence that both individual genetic endowment and the state-level educational environment contribute to individual schooling and lifetime earnings\, with limited evidence for any interaction between them. The exception is completion of a secondary degree\, where we find that individuals educated in states with higher average educational attainment during their primary schooling years were more likely to obtain a GED or high school degree—regardless of genotype—whereas individuals raised in states with below average educational attainment were approximately 7 to 24 percent less likely to obtain a secondary degree than individuals with similar PGSs in higher achieving states.

The first two\, in Nanjing and Dezhou\, Shandong province\, were built during the reign of the Yongle emperor (r. 1402-1424). The third\, in Guyuan\, Hebei\, almost definitely was constructed during the Yuan dynasty\; Ananda\, a grandson of Khubilai who converted from Buddhism to Islam\, and King George the Ongut have been proposed as occupants. Through architecture\, unique convergences of China and Islam in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries are proposed. \n \nNancy C.

We ask whether this feature can justify the use of dominant-strategy mechanisms\, when a social planner cares about welfare and explicitly takes these effort costs into account. We adopt a simple bilateral trade model as a case study. We consider a broad class of information games\, in which the trading parties can\ntake some (possibly costly) actions\, and receive some information about each other. Any trading mechanism is evaluated by the level of welfare\, net of information costs\, that it guarantees in the worst case across all information games. For some parameter values\, a dominant-strategy mechanism is indeed optimal\; for others\, the optimum is a non-dominant-strategy mechanism\, in which one party chooses which of two prices to offer.

Particular emphasis will be placed on two research projects. One will focus on our discoveries of tandem catalytic carbonylation reactions for the total syntheses of macrolides and spirocyclic natural products. In these syntheses\, cheap and abundant carbon monoxide was used as a one-carbon linchpin to stitch relatively simple starting materials into complex structures\, which significantly increased synthetic efficiency. The other one will focus on our recent synthesis of polycyclic diterpene molecules via tandem gold catalysis. Preliminary biological evaluations of some of our target molecules will be discussed as well. \nMingji Dai (Purdue University) UID:39598-8149163@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/39598 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170320T162557 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Citizen Interaction Design Speaker Series: Build With\, Not For DESCRIPTION:The Citizen Interaction Design program sponsors an appearance by Laurenellen McCann\, a social practice artist and internationally recognized expert in civic engagement and community technology.\n\nLaurenellen McCann will discuss their work in addressing the need to invest more in the “civic” in civic tech — prioritizing community leadership and stewardship in the lifecycle of public interest technology.

Antihydrogen\, the bound state of an antiproton and a positron\, is made entirely of antiparticles and is believed to be stable. It is this longevity that holds the promise of precision studies of matter-antimatter symmetry. Low energy (Kelvin scale) antihydrogen has been produced at CERN since 2002. I will give an overview of the experiment (ALPHA) which has recently succeeded in trapping antihydrogen in a cryogenic Penning trap for times up to approximately 15 minutes. We have also been able to flip the spin inside of the atom using microwaves\, performing the first measurement of resonant transitions within an antimatter atom. Most recently\, we have measured the 1s-2s frequency to one part in 5 billion. I will conclude with prospects for laser cooling antihydrogen and future precision measurements.

Many who work in science\, medicine and engineering may find themselves pondering whether and how to enter the fray. \n\nA lecture by Gilbert S. Omenn\, MD\, PhD\, on Tuesday\, March 28 may provide some inspiration. Omenn has spent decades straddling the worlds of science\, medicine and policy -- from the Nixon\, Carter\, and Clinton presidential administrations to the leadership of the university’s academic medical center\, the nation’s largest general scientific society\, and now the global Human Proteome Project. \n\nIn his Distinguished University Professorship lecture\, he will share reflections on these experiences\, and the mentors who guided him through the early stages of his career. He’ll also speak about his work over the last 15 years leading the HPP. \n\nTitled “Proteins\, Policy\, and Paths Less Travel'd: My Career as a Physician-Scientist\"\, the talk will begin at 4 p.m. in the Amphitheatre on the second floor of the Rackham Building. A reception will follow.\n\nIts title evokes a line from the Robert Frost poem “The Road Not Taken.” Frost was poet-in-residence at the U-M in the early 1920s.\n\nA medical geneticist\, cancer prevention clinical trialist\, and former Howard Hughes Investigator\, Omenn now holds the Harold T. Shapiro Distinguished University Professorship\, with appointments in the Medical School’s Departments of Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics\, Internal Medicine\, and Human Genetics\, as well as in the School of Public Health. He leads the university-wide Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics\, with 110 faculty affiliates. \n\nHis work on proteins has evolved from deep study of individual proteins and protein models to mapping the full complement of proteins in a rigorous way. The HPP aims to lay a molecular and biological foundation for improving health through better understanding of disease processes\, more accurate diagnoses\, and targets for more effective therapies and preventive interventions.\n\nOmenn came to Michigan in 1997 as the first Executive Vice President for Medical Affairs and CEO of what was soon christened the U-M Health System\, after leading the University of Washington School of Public Health & Community Medicine as dean. He mounted major initiatives in faculty recruitment\, community engagement\, and synergies across the missions. The Omenn Atrium in the Taubman Biomedical Sciences Research Building recognizes his accomplishments. \n\nAfter stepping down from his U-M executive role in 2002\, he focused on proteomics and bioinformatics\, part of what’s now known as the “big data” movement in medical research. He served as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, and on the Scientific Management Review Board for the National Institutes of Health. He is currently a member of the Council of the National Academy of Medicine. In 2014 he received the David Rogers Award from the Association of American Medical Schools for his contribution to healthcare in America.\n\nHis entry into the policy world as a junior faculty member was through the White House Fellows Program. Assigned to the Atomic Energy Commission\, he worked on international nuclear policy during a critical early-1970s period. \n\nHe returned to his biochemical genetic research on the brain and started a Health Policy program for young physicians at the University of Washington. \n\nDuring the Carter years he served as associate director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and then the Office of Management and Budget. In the 1990s he chaired a Presidential/Congressional commission on Risk Assessment & Risk Management which had broad influence. \n\n“I have often pursued what Robert Frost called “the path less travel’d”\,” says Omenn. Through his lecture\, he says\, “I hope to stimulate some in the audience to make proteomics and bioinformatics important new elements of their research and others to explore roles enhancing our nation’s policies and programs.” UID:39826-8388478@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/39826 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Medicine,Politics,Public Policy,Research,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Rackham Amphitheatre (Second floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161103T123657 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T161000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Leibele’s Sermon: The Jewish Colonization Association and the Politics of Jewish Philanthropy\" DESCRIPTION:In the 1890s\, the Jewish banker\, railroad entrepreneur\, and philanthropist\, Baron Maurice de Hirsch\, embarked on a grand project to relocate large numbers of Russian Jews in agricultural colonies in Argentina. When Theodor Herzl wrote in 1896\, the year of Hirsch’s death\, that he envisioned the establishment of a Jewish national home in either Argentina or Palestine\, many of his contemporaries would likely have considered the South American country to be the more plausible option. Much has changed\, however\, since one of Hirsch’s early colonists\, a Russian Jew by the name of Leibele\, celebrated Argentina as the new Zion in a sermon full of messianic imagery. Today Herzl is hailed as the visionary whose ideas laid the foundations of a Jewish nation state established in Palestine\, whereas Hirsch’s legacy is largely forgotten. How do we assess the impact of Baron Hirsch and his philanthropic oeuvre? How do we account for its eventual failure? And what does the history of this failure tell us about the Jewish world of the late nineteenth century\, and about the importance of studying failure in understanding the modern quest to solve the Jewish predicament?\n \n \nMatthias Lehmann is Professor of History and the Teller Chair in Jewish History at the University of California\, Irvine. After studies in Berlin\, Jerusalem\, and Madrid\, he earned his Ph.D. in 2002. He is the author\, most recently\, of Emissaries from the Holy Land (Stanford\, 2014)\, as well as Ladino Rabbinic Literature and Ottoman Sephardic Culture (Bloomington\, 2005) and co-author\, with John Efron and Steven Weitzman\, of the widely used textbook The Jews: A History (second edition\, 2014).\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

The film documents a philosophical shift that seeks to reframe public higher education as a ‘value proposition’ to be borne by the beneficiary of a college degree rather than as a ‘public good’ for society. Financial winners and losers emerge in a struggle poised to profoundly change public higher education. The film focuses on dramas playing out at the University of Wisconsin\, University of Virginia\, University of North Carolina\, Louisiana State University\, University of Texas and Texas A&M.

Maestro Yoon started his career as a conductor in 1970 when he conducted the World Vision Children’s Choir. Through several choirs such as Daewoo Choir\, Seoul Ladies’ Singers and Incheon City Chorale\, Maestro Yoon has been closing the gap between Korean and global choral music\, spreading the greatness of Korean choral music not limited to Asia but throughout the whole world. While Maestro Yoon tried to expand the influence of Korean music out to the world\, he also nurtured the inward culture of Korean choral music by discovering many new young Korean composers and producing creative music pieces to “Koreanize” the choral music. \n \nConductor Yoon is also a pioneer who takes on new challenges. He was the second Asian conductor to be invited to lead the World Youth Choir presented by the International Federation for Choral Music in July to August 2008\, and shocked the world by performing at the American Choral Directors Association Convention in March 2009 with Incheon City Chorale. The Chorale was invited at Saint-Lo-France in October 2010\, enabling the world to recognize the greatness of Korean choral music once again. \n \nJust like the two sides of a coin\, Conductor Yoon’s music shows both breathtaking tension and a Korean sense of humor.

Most proofs of this theorem rely on transcendental methods (i.e. inputs from Hodge Theory). As originally shown by Raynaud\, Kodaira vanishing fails to hold in characteristic p. In this talk\, we will give a brief introduction to Kodaira's theorem. We will then discuss the ideas behind Raynaud's counterexample.
