2017-09-14 00:00 - 23:59 | University of Michigan
The LSA Honor Council is an undergraduate student organization dedicated to developing initiatives that aid in the promotion of respect, integrity, and personal responsibility. We also attend meetings hosted by the Office of Student Academic Affairs for students accused of academic misconduct. In our recruitment efforts, we prioritize the importance of forming a council composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints. This spectrum of varied perspectives enables our council to more effectively address issues of integrity on our campus. This upcoming year, we are recruiting a group of motivated and dedicated LSA students who are interested in working closely with the deans, faculty, and fellow students to promote a campus culture that values integrity. This past year, we have accomplished this goal by hosting faculty department presentations, tabling events, and discussions of current ethical issues. Most recently, we hosted Dr. Victor Strecher from the School of Public Health to present a talk on “Designing a Happy Life.” Given the breadth of our activities, it is crucial that we incorporate students with diverse skill sets to maximize our council’s potential. We hope that you will join us next fall! Link to application: http://lsastudenthc.weebly.com/become-a-member.html

Exhibition:Forever Unfinished: Making and Remaking a Public University
2017-09-14 08:00 - 23:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery (Room 100)
The University of Michigan was founded in 1817 as a public institution, a concept for which there were few models. What makes a university public? What should it look like? Whom should it serve? Who should have access to its resources, and where should those resources come from?

This exhibit explores how students, faculty, staff, politicians, and citizens have attempted to answer these questions. These stories invite us to imagine U-M's future as a public university based on what we know about its past.

Exhibit team: Jonathan Farr, Nora Krinitsky, Michelle McClellan, Gregory Parker, Emily Price, Kate Silbert

This LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester exhibit is presented with support from the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

Exhibition:Michigan Past & Present
2017-09-14 08:00 - 21:00 | Pierpont Commons
Profiles of U-M’s first six students, and the two faculty who taught them, and how they compare to the university of 2017. The exhibit features research conducted by Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program students and displays designed by students from the Stamps School of Art & Design.

Exhibition:Possession, pop-up exhibition by Jaye Schlesinger
2017-09-14 08:00 - 17:00 | 202 S. Thayer - Institute for the Humanities Common Room
Possession evolved in response to Ann Arbor artist Jaye Schlesinger’s interest in mindfulness and minimalism and the role they play in personal well being. After disposing (selling, recycling, giving away) of everything that no longer served to enrich her life, Schlesinger decided to merge this exercise with her art practice and depicted all of her remaining possessions in small oil paintings, 380 in total. The paintings depict objects of functionality and ones of beauty, eliciting contemplation and conversation about the ‘stuff’ we choose to live with.

Exhibition:Reverberations of Rebellion: 1967 in Detroit and Ann Arbor
2017-09-14 08:00 - 17:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - North Lobby
The 1967 Detroit rebellion was a pivotal event in the history of the Motor City. While Ann Arbor may seem far removed from Detroit, the themes of 1967—housing segregation, media bias, student activism, and police violence—resonated here as well.

This exhibit, on display in the Hatcher Graduate Library North lobby through September 15, 2017, highlights the extensive archival resources of the Bentley Historical Library and the U-M Library’s Labadie Collection. These materials place the rebellion in the context of 1960s activism against racism and inequality in Detroit and Ann Arbor, and illustrate the significance and range of press coverage.

Exhibition:The Grandmother Tree Walk
2017-09-14 08:00 - 20:00 | Nichols Arboretum
Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum celebrates the University of Michigan bicentennial with a tour of 12 historic trees in the Arboretum. The bicentennial story is told from the perspective of the trees, and key moments of U-M's people and history that occurred during the trees' long lives are revealed. Visitors may pick up a map at the Arb visitor center to take this easy, self-guided tour.

Exhibition:Waiting for the Extraordinary installation by Mark Dion
2017-09-14 08:00 - 17:00 | 202 S. Thayer - Institute for the Humanities Gallery
About the installation: As part of the Institute for the Humanities 2017-18 Year of Archives and Futures, and in celebration of the U-M Bicentennial, the Institute for the Humanities presents a new iteration of Mark Dion’s Waiting for the Extraordinary, which was commissioned and first exhibited here in 2011. Inspired by the academic classifications invented by 19th-century Michigan Chief Justice Augustus B. Woodward, this new, architecturally scaled installation serves as an archive of the original, and presents a single room with thirteen plastic sculptures, each representing one of Woodward’s professorships. As viewers peer into the space and encounter these illuminated objects—reproduced using 3D imaging technology from original objects Dion found in departments and collections across the University of Michigan—they confront questions about the distinction between the rational and subjective in our construction of knowledge, as well as role of the museum and institutions that continue to determine it.

About the artist: Mark Dion’s work examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history, knowledge, and the natural world. “The job of the artist,” he says, “is to go against the grain of dominant culture, to challenge perception and convention.” Appropriating archaeological, field ecology, and other scientific methods of collecting, ordering, and exhibiting objects, Dion creates works that question the distinctions between ‘objective’ (‘rational’) scientific methods and ‘subjective’ (‘irrational’) influences. Mark Dion questions the objectivity and authoritative role of the scientific voice in contemporary society, tracking how pseudo-science, social agendas, and ideology creep into public discourse and knowledge production.

Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
2017-09-14 08:30 - 18:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room
Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517, Martin Luther, a professor of theology and a monk, published his scathing critique of indulgences, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.

Issued in the provincial town of Wittenberg, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.

The late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged, the demand for practical learning grew, more universities competed for students, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication, knowledge, and belief. In this context, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious, economic, and political change.

Audubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
2017-09-14 09:00 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location
In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled Cosmogonic Tattoos, his project will use adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides, imaginatively transformed within our campus context, this project celebrates the power of architecture, ornament, and material objects to shape knowledge, historical memory, and cultural identity.

Look for displays in the UMMA from April 22-Dec. 3, the exterior of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Dec. 17, and in the interior special exhibition space of the Kelsey Museum from June 2-Sept. 10.

Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
2017-09-14 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
In celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017, artist and distinguished U​–M art professor Jim Cogswell has been invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. For this visionary project, the artist will adhere a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums’ permanent collections. The juxtaposed images will address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge, memory, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.
Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at UMMA April 22 through December 3, 2017 and at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology from June 2 through December 17, 2017.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen, Philippe Halsman, Helmut Newton, Andy Warhol, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt, Joel Meyerowitz, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And
artists James Van Der Zee, Eduardo Paolozzi, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.

Lead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
2017-09-14 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. In the video Towards An Architect, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software, written by the artist, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.

Moving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary, Istanbul, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.

Lead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the 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.

Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
2017-09-14 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
Before colonization, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs, and covered in beads and precious metals, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles, animal skin, metal, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria, Ghana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.

Lead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part II: Abstraction
2017-09-14 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world.

This two-part exhibition presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. Part II: Abstraction, on view in the A. Alfred Taubman Gallery July 1 through October 29, showcases modern and contemporary art by Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti,
Louise Nevelson, Christo, Lorna Simpson, José Parlá, and Do Ho Su, among others. It also features a fifth-century Korean roof end tile and an Amish quilt, as well as a work by an Inuit master—thus inviting visitors to explore the pleasures of abstraction across a wide range of media, eras, and genres. UMMA extends Part II: Abstraction into the Irving Stenn, Jr. Family Gallery from August 19 through November 26, 2017, with the site-specific installation of Random International’s LED-light and motion-sensing dynamic sculpture, Swarm Study / II. Victors for Art 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.

This 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.

Lead support for Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, 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.

Lecture / Discussion:CJS Thursday Lecture Series | Cyborg Able-ism: Critical Insights From the Not So ‘Uncanny Valley’ of Japan
2017-09-14 11:30 - 13:00 | Weiser Hall - Room 110
I explore and interrogate the development and application in Japan--with cross-cultural comparisons--of robotic prosthetic devices that effectively transform disabled persons into cyborgs. Included here is a critical reassessment of the so-called theory of the “uncanny valley.” My paper focuses on both the anthropological and the phenomenological dimensions of what I call “cyborg-ableism.” In Japan and elsewhere, wearable robotic devices proceed from and depend on a corporeal aesthetics of cyborg-ableism. I examine the types of human bodies that are privileged in the discourse of machine-enhanced mobility, and also analyze the modes of sociality that robotic devices and prosthetics are imagined to recuperate.

Exhibition:The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding
2017-09-14 12:00 - 19:00 | Off Campus Location
On view from September 8-October 14, 2017 in the Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St., Ann Arbor), The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is a group exhibition including image and video work by Terry Adkins, John Akomfrah, Shelagh Keeley, and Zineb Sedira. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

Co-curated by Gaëtane Verna, Director of The Power Plant, and Mark Sealy, The Unfinished Conversation is grounded in the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall (1932-2014), who devoted his life to studying the interweaving threads of culture, power, politics, and history.

Taking Hall’s essay Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse as a point of departure, viewers will be invited to think about how meaning is constructed; how it is systematically distorted by audience reception; and how it can be detached and drained of its original intent to produce specific or slanted narratives. Hall’s interdisciplinary approach drew on literary theory, linguistics, and cultural anthropology in order to analyse and articulate the relationship between history, culture, popular media, cold war politics, gender, and ethnicity.

By presenting the work of artists who bring into play time, memory, and archives so as to construct new readings of the past, the exhibition will lay emphasis on the idea that the “visual” is an assimilatory process continuously at work in the construction of cultural, political, personal, and national identities.

Co-curators Gaëtane Verna and Mark Sealy state that it is their curatorial intention to build a multiple moving/still/audio archive, an image map, a visual vehicle that will ferry the audience across the choppy waters of memory, images, and politics to an undeterminable, obscure, and un-chartable destination, where people often meet with a fatal end. The exhibition aims to take viewers on a journey in time, to bring them to encounter images, which act as both objects of art and ideas in flux, circulating in and out of the archive through the corridors of cultural re-construction.

This image map will be drawn by the work of Terry Adkins, John Akomfrah, Shelagh Keeley and Zineb Sedira, four artists whose practice is devoted primarily to commenting on recent socio-political events and situations and relating them to the not so distant past in order to help us understand the world we live in.

By stimulating our personal and collective memory, these works will show us how history agitates and causes anxiety in our personal lives and in the political realm as they will reveal the fact that national identity is not an essence or a state of being, but a “becoming,” a process whereby subjectivities are formed in the interstices between such binary oppositions as us/them, black/white, or native/foreigner, and that it is in those in-between spaces that marginalized people are the agents and subjects of many possible futures, imagined or real.

The thread that connects all these art works is the artist’s involvement with the significant social issues confronting humanity today and their profound desire to push formal boundaries in order to tackle them.

The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is organized and circulated by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, Toronto in partnership with Autograph ABP, London. The exhibition is co-curated by Gaëtane Verna, Director, The Power Plant and Mark Sealy, Director, Autograph ABP.

Exhibition:Vital Signs for a New America
2017-09-14 12:00 - 19:00 | Off Campus Location
On view from September 8-October 14, 2017 in the Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St., Ann Arbor), Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner, Sheryl Oring, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner, Oring, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories; listening and re-learning; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.

Active public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring; and a tactile, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out, listen, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.

Dylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore
Saturdays, September 9-October 14, 1-3 pm

Dylan Miner, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University, is an artist, activist, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis), the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations, wage labor, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.

Sheryl Oring: I Wish to Say
Friday, September 8, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)
Fridays, September 15-October 13, 5-7 pm

Nationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing), a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.

The Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers
Tuesday, October 3, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)

The Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them, a rich personal archive of publication clippings, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts, art, politics, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

Lecture / Discussion:AE585 Graduate Seminar Fall Series - Recent Developments in Helicopter Flight Dynamic Simulation Modeling
2017-09-14 16:00 - 17:30 | Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building - 1109 Boeing Lecture Hall
The simulation modeling of the flight dynamics of helicopters, and rotorcraft in general, is a multidisciplinary problem that involves dynamics, aerodynamics, structures, controls, and design optimization. The first part of the talk will describe the key portions of the mathematical model required for rotorcraft flight dynamics, which is typically composed of a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations coupled with algebraic equations arising from computational fluid dynamics. The calculation of equilibrium (or trim) solutions, the linearized stability analysis, and the numerical integration of the equations of motion will also be described, together with the special techniques used to keep the calculations within real-time execution speeds.

The second part of the talk will describe some recent research in the development of mathematical models of coaxial rotor aerodynamics in state-space form. Current techniques used for single main rotor helicopter configurations are based on solutions of the acceleration potential equation over the rotor disk, but they cannot be extended to the coaxial rotor configurations currently envisioned for the next generation of military helicopters. The extraction of coaxial rotor aerodynamic models from free vortex wake theories using frequency domain system identification will be described, together with applications to coaxial helicopter flight dynamic modeling.

About the speaker...

Dr. Roberto Celi received his BS degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy, and his MS and PhD in Aerospace Engineering from UCLA. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, and is a member of the Alfred Gessow Rotorcraft Center, a US Army/US Navy/NASA Vertical Lift Research Center of Excellence. His primary areas of teaching and research are rotorcraft flight dynamics and control, and design optimization. Current research projects include: helicopter rotor aerodynamic modeling for flight dynamics application, multiobjective and multidisciplinary design optimization for redundant flight controls, modeling of ditching helicopters, and the analysis of helicopter pilot cognitive workload through brain and other physiological biomarkers.

Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Coexistence in close relatives
2017-09-14 16:00 - 17:00 | Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210
Understanding coexistence of closely related species lies at the nexus of how historical and ecological factors govern patterns of biodiversity. The criteria determining local coexistence in close relatives have typically been, for ecologists, whether these species meet conditions of stable coexistence when competing for resources; in contrast, evolutionists often consider coexistence of close relatives from the perspective of complete reproductive isolation. Clearly, both of these conditions must be met, but for coexistence in ecologically and phenotypically similar close relatives to occur, species must overcome a diverse suite of challenges beyond just these. I present data from experiments and ideas on the ecology and evolution allowing coexistence in close relatives.

Lecture / Discussion:Jason Owen-Smith, Barger Leadership Institute Professorship, Inaugural Lecture
2017-09-14 16:00 - 17:30 | Michigan League - Hussey
Universities like ours are unique because they pursue research, education, and public service at a very high level across nearly every field of human endeavor. They help our society stay poised to identify opportunities and address problems we don’t know we have yet. At a time when residential higher education and publicly funded research both face skepticism, research universities must find new ways to address an uncertain future by developing creative capabilities in the public interest at scale. The Barger Leadership Institute (BLI) and the Institute for Research on Innovation and Science (IRIS) represent two efforts to address this challenge.

Lecture / Discussion:Remembering Tom Hayden through Current Scholarship
2017-09-14 16:00 - 17:30 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery (Room 100)

Lecture / Discussion:Lost in Translation: Expression and Perception across Borders and Languages
2017-09-14 17:00 - 19:00 | West Conference Room
In 1922, philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein declared that “the limits of my language mean the limits of my world." With the globally-connected community at the University of Michigan in mind, we invite you to an exploration of the cross-cultural academic expressive production that accompanies thinking and writing from a non-English background. Taking the University of Michigan as a case study, we hope to engage questions of scholarship and public expression incubated in the globalized environment that is the contemporary American university. Rather than focusing on the mechanics of English as a Second Language or as a lingua franca, we seek a discussion around scholarly expression in a multicultural, globalized academia. How does an American academic culture of expression interact with the increasingly international body of authors on campus? And, can non-normative writing paradigms find footing in American academia? Please join us for a scholarly conversation on multilingualism and the pleasures and difficulties of translation.Participating Panelists:

Other:Vievee Francis & Sebastian Matthews
2017-09-14 17:30 - 18:30 | Museum of Art - Helmut Stern Auditorium
Known for her explorations of racial identity, modernist poetics, and feminist legacies, poet VIEVEE FRANCIS received the 2017 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award for her collection Forest Primeval (Triquarterly Books/Northwestern University Press). She is also the author of Blue-Tail Fly (Wayne State University Press, 2006), and Horse in the Dark (Northwestern University Press, 2012). She is an associate professor at Dartmouth College and an associate editor for Callaloo. Of her own work, Vievee has said: “I want to know how poetry serves us collectively and as individuals in ways that meet this era, this moment; however, in order to gain that understanding contexts cannot be ignored, nor can history be set aside. It is the intent of my instruction and an inherent objective of my own poetry to upturn how we think about poetry, its lineage, and the cultural impact of received aesthetics.”

SEBASTIAN MATTHEWS is the author of the memoir In My Father’s Footsteps (W.W. Norton & Co.) as well as two collections of poetry, We Generous and Miracle Day, both published by Red Hen Press. A third collection, Beginner’s Guide to a Head-on Collision, is forthcoming from Red Hen in 2017. His poetry and prose have appeared in or on, among others, American Poetry Review, The Atlantic, The Sun, Tin House, and Virginia Quarterly Review. Matthews received his MFA in fiction at the University of Michigan. He taught for over a decade at Warren Wilson College in their undergraduate writing program, and currently serves on the board of the Vermont Studio Center and on the advisory board for Callaloo: A Journal of African Diaspora Arts & Letters. He lives with his wife and son in Asheville, North Carolina, where he is working on a novel and a collection of personal essays.

Domino’s, which began in 1960 as a single store location in Ypsilanti, MI, has had a lot to celebrate lately: we’re a reshaped, re-energized brand of honesty, transparency and accountability – not to mention, great food! In the rise to becoming a true technology leader, the brand is now consistently one of the top five companies in online transactions and 50% of our sales in the U.S. are taken through digital channels. The brand continues to ‘deliver the dream’ to local business owners, 90% of which started as delivery drivers and pizza makers in our stores. That’s just the tip of the iceberg…or as we might say, one “slice” of the pie! If this sounds like a brand you’d like to be a part of, consider joining our team!

PERFORMANCE PRACTICE DETAILS:
Fifth practice to learn the choreography for our future performances: Brazilian Street Festival (https://www.facebook.com/events/140326283233728/) and future ones for this year. It’ll start at 8pm after the lesson. People not interested in the performance or learning the choreography will have room to practice with others in a different part of the room.

Anyone who wants to learn the choreo but doesn't want to perform is still welcome. It’s a good, fun opportunity to improve your Zouk skills.

All levels are welcome. Don't think you don't know “enough” or are not good enough to be able to do it. We’ll help you.

If you miss one or a few of these practices, you probably can still participate in the performance. We’ll make sure the people performing know the choreo well. We want it to look nice!
