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.

As UM celebrates its Bicentennial year\, this exhibition asks how past traditions\, tensions\, and technologies have left material or cultural traces on campus space today. By laying bare rarely examined aspects of the historical university alongside radical designs for an unrealized present\, Persistent Pasts asks us to question entrenched conceptions of what UM should and could be\, architecturally and institutionally.

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.

She teaches courses on racial identity development\, urban education\, critical multiculturalism\, and critical race theory. Her research is broadly focused on issues of race\, culture\, and educational equity in P-12 and higher education settings. Dr. Carter Andrews is a former industrial engineer\, kindergarten teacher\, and high school math teacher\, with experience in urban\, suburban\, and independent schools.\n\nDr. Carter Andrews explores the elusive quest for equitable education for African Americans in the United States. She uses critical race theory as an analytical framework for examining the enduring inequitable access to educational opportunities that African Americans have experienced across time and learning spaces. Dr. Carter Andrews challenges us to consider what is required to ensure academic excellence for African American students in a neoliberal\, anti-Black \nsociopolitical climate. \n\nThis is the second of a six-lecture series. The subject is The African American Experience.

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.

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.

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.

I adduce various evidence to support my position\, inter alia\, from the earliest attestations of the words creole and pidgin\, the kinds of interactions that Europeans and non-Europeans held in the relevant contact settings (which are in geographic complementary distribution to each other)\, and the critical role that interpreters (the unsung heroes of colonization) played in the trade colonies where pidgins eventually emerged. Even the exploitation colonization of Africa depended for the longest on interpreters cum colonial auxiliaries. The relevant history of trade colonization suggests that the indigenous rulers on the coast of Africa\, South Asia\, China\, and the Pacific islands did not trade with European companies in pidgins but in closer approximations of the European languages spoken by the interpreters\, whose critical role as “go-betweens” or “intermediaries” turned them into important power brokers all the way into the exploitation colonization of the relevant territories in the 19th century\, with the exception of China. The available historical evidence suggests that pidgins lexified by European languages emerged later and\, like related creoles\, by basilectalization\, diverging farther away from their lexifiers. Once we factor in the fact that present “expanded pidgins” (e.g.\, Tok Pisin and Nigerian Pidgin English) remain in geographic complementary distribution with creoles\, we should give up the myth that the creoles evolved from erstwhile pidgins. Note that I don’t consider “expanded pidgins” to be creoles.

The former leads to unusual network properties when the redirection probability equals 1. For example\, the number of nodes of degree greater than 1 scales slower than linearly in the total number of nodes N. In the latter case\, a new node attaches to a randomly selected target node and also to each of its neighbors with probability p. The resulting network is sparse for p < 1/2 and dense (average degree increasing with number of nodes N) for p ≥ 1/2. The dense regime is especially rich. Individual network realizations are not self-averaging. There is also an infinite sequence of structural anomalies at p = 2/3\, 3/4\, 4/5\, etc.\, where the N dependences of the number of triangles (3-cliques)\, 4-cliques\, undergo phase transitions.

In 1990/91\, 2001 women living in the Melbourne metropolitan area were randomly selected\, and 779 met the entry criteria for the longitudinal follow-up (aged 45–55 years\, menstruating\, having a uterus and at least one ovary and not taking hormone therapy). Of these\, 438 agreed to be seen annually across the menopausal transition from 1992 to 1999. Longitudinal prospective follow-up since 2000 has continued intermittently (2002/03\, 2004/05\, 2012/13\, 2014/15). Data collection has included fasting biomarkers\, clinical assessment\, lifestyle and quality of life data\, physical measures and validated questionnaire data. Participants have consented to data linkage and\, to date\, mammogram and BioGrid data have been accessed. Biobank storage including serum\, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) storage and PAXgene tubes are maintained. The WHAP has contributed to over 200 publications in a variety of areas\, including: health and wellbeing\; mental and cognitive health\; bone health\; lifestyle\, vascular risk and prevention\; women’s health and hormonal transition\; and cross-cultural research. With all participants now aged over 70 years\, the cohort is ideally placed to answer key questions of healthy aging in women. Ongoing follow-up into older ages for this long-running cohort will enable the association between mid to late-life factors and healthy aging to be determined. This is particularly valuable for the examination of chronic diseases which have a 20–30 year prodrome and to provide knowledge on multiple morbidities. \n\nBrief Bio:\nAssociate Professor Cassandra is currently the Director of the Healthy Aging Program\, Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne and Professor at Institute for Health and Aging\, Australian Catholic University.

This transition was traditionally seen as a short\, war-ridden horizon reflecting the arrival of the Tumulus culture population. Recent research\, however\, emphasizes the complexity of these transformations\, and suggests a longer\, less abrupt transition\, in which existing Middle Bronze Age populations play a significant role in the formation of Late Bronze Age societies. Excavations in the early 1960s unearthed over 600 Bronze Age burials at the site of Tápé –Széntéglaégető. The cemetery is situated at the border zone of earlier Middle Bronze Age cultural groups and dates to the transitional phase. Considering its geographic location and chronological position\, the study of this cemetery provides an outstanding opportunity to understand how the interaction between different cultural groups shaped the expression of social identity and how social practices changed at the dawn of a new social\, political era. This presentation summarizes the first results of my analysis of the cemetery population\, focusing on understanding variation in the use of ornaments among different gender and age groups\, and comparing the results to the preceding Maros cultural practices.

For many Indigenous students\, the culture of educational institutions in the U.S.\, reflect a set of ideas and practices about what it means to be a \"good\" student\, the purpose of education\, and the nature of the relationship between teachers and students that are experienced as a cultural mismatch between their model of self and the model prevalent in mainstream educational contexts. The first set of studies empirically tests these cultural mismatches\, whereas the second set of studies builds on the strengths of Indigenous students to alleviate these mismatches and to positively influence motivation and academic performance.

L. Krivine's theorem states that for every Banach space X with a basis\, there exists a p in [1\, infinity] such that l_p is finitely block represented in X. The set of all such p's is called the Krivine set of X. As it was proved by H.P. Rosenthal\, this set is stabilized on some block subspace Y of X\, i.e. the Krivine set of Y and the corresponding one of any of its further block subspaces coincide. The form of such a stabilized Krivine set has been a subject of study\, since Rosenthal asked whether it always had to be a singleton. This question was answered negatively by E. Odell and Th. Schlumprecht by constructing a space having [1\, infinity] as its stabilized Krivine set. \n\nThe question that followed was if such a stabilized Krivine set had to be an interval\, which was asked by P. Habala and N. Tomczak-Jaegermann as well as by E. Odell. We answer this question in the negative direction by constructing\, for every subset F of [1\,infinity] which is either finite or consists of an increasing sequence and its limit\, a reflexive Banach space X with an unconditional basis such that for every infinite dimensional block subspace Y of X\, the Krivine set of Y is precisely F.\n\nThis construction also addresses some open problems concerning spreading models. \n\nThis is joint work with K. Beanland and D. Freeman.

Fourier and harmonic analysis) can be obtained when introducing randomization in the set of initial data and using powerful but still classical tools from probability as well. These ideas go back to seminal work by J. Bourgain on the invariance of Gibbs measures associated to dispersive PDE. We will first explain some of these ideas and review some recent probabilistic well-posedness results for NLS. We will then describe recent work of myself joint with Chanillo\, Czubak\, Mendelson and Staffilani in which we treat probabilistic well-posedness of a geometric wave equation with randomized supercritical data. If time permits\, we will discuss a work in progress about non-equilibrium invariant measures for resonant NLS (joint with Hani\, Mattingly\, Rey-Bellet and Staffilani).\n Speaker(s): Andrea Nahmod (UMASS\, Amherst) UID:38170-6980685@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/38170 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 4088 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170327T131224 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170413T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170413T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Lecture: Are Refugees a Security Risk? Using National Security and Human Rights Values to Protect Refugees and the Homeland DESCRIPTION:We are in the midst of the biggest refugee crisis since World War II. And yet refugees that hope to look to the United States for safe haven are encountering a political discourse that refers to walls\, travel bans\, and registries that invoke a bygone era in American history. Much of this discourse is animated by the understandable desire to make the homeland safe as possible. In doing so\, have we abandoned our democratic principles or are we simply embracing a new norm that necessitates more vigilance? Or\, perhaps\, a binary narrative can and should give way to one that seeks to interlace fundamental human rights principles with national security safeguards. If such a moderated path exists\, what does it look like and how do we find it? \n \nHardy Vieux\, is the legal direct of the Human Rights First. He leads and oversees management of the organization’s legal initiatives—including its pro bono legal representation\, amicus brief\, and legal outreach efforts. Hardy manages Human Rights First’s refugee representation work\, which pairs lawyers at the nation’s top law firms with indigent refugees in need of counsel. In 2014\, Hardy served as a policy fellow in the Middle East\, where he worked at Save the Children International in Amman\, Jordan. There\, he handled child protection policy issues impacting Syrian refugee children living in Jordan. Prior to living in the Middle East\, Hardy was in private legal practice in Washington\, D.C. for over ten years.

We use this massive dislocation in the microfinance market to identify the causal impacts of a reduction in credit supply on consumption\, entrepreneurship\, and employment in general equilibrium. Using a proprietary\, hand-collected district-level data set from 27 separate\, for-profit microlenders matched with household data from the National Sample Survey\, we find that district-level reductions in credit supply are associated with significant decreases in casual daily wages\, household wage earnings and consumption. Moreover\, we find significant heterogeneity by household landholdings\, consistent with an equilibrium model in which medium-wealth households scale back their businesses and landless households are hit by a fall in the wage.

I will then highlight the physiological\, epigenetic\, and genetic responses that animals use to cope with naturally variable environments. Specifically\, I will show how different components of the vertebrate stress response are shaped by different timescales of environmental variation\, how environmental conditions during development influence DNA methylation of the stress hormone receptor\, and how environmental change more broadly influences the evolution of that receptor. Together\, these studies will illustrate the many ways that animals respond to and cope with environmental change.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/eqgU4K3jh-g UID:39818-8382343@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/39818 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Environment,Lecture,Research,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170405T130323 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170413T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170413T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: On Futures\, Past and Present DESCRIPTION:Amid economic turbulence\, environmental disaster\, and political shocks\, some observers today perceive a crisis of futurity\, manifested in an inability to imagine better times to come\, in a mythic embroidery of old times\, or in fears of bygone calamities now returned to haunt the world.
