SUMMARY:Other:Recruiting New Members for Fall 2017!
DESCRIPTION: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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Forever Unfinished: Making and Remaking a Public University
DESCRIPTION: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?\n\nThis 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.\n\nExhibit team: Jonathan Farr\, Nora Krinitsky\, Michelle McClellan\, Gregory Parker\, Emily Price\, Kate Silbert\n\nThis 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Cut Ups: Paper Collage
DESCRIPTION:Laura Cavanagh is a Michigan native who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 2011 with a BFA in Art & Design and a minor in Art History. Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Possession\, pop-up exhibition by Jaye Schlesinger
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reverberations of Rebellion: 1967 in Detroit and Ann Arbor
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\nThis 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Waiting for the Extraordinary installation by Mark Dion
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nAbout 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.\n\nImage: Mark DION\nWaiting for the\nExtraordinary\n2013\nmixed media\n96 x 61 x 122\ninches\; 243.8 x\n154.9 x 309.9 cm\nCourtesy the artist\nand Tanya Bonakdar\nGallery\, New York

DESCRIPTION:Entrepalooza 2017 will focus on the nuts and bolts of entrepreneurship - what does it really take to start a business? While a bold idea\, unflagging determination and patient financial backers are all crucial to successful start-ups\, entrepreneurs must also focus on less dramatic aspects of running a company. From the start\, entrepreneurs must think about their approach to partnering\, financing\, marketing\, hiring and operating. Entrepalooza 2017 will introduce budding entrepreneurs to the personal implications and practical aspects of being an entrepreneur - identifying\, starting and running a business.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:International Perspectives on Privacy and Free Expression: Concepts\, Conflicts\, Consequences
DESCRIPTION:This conference will consider the varying\, and to some extent conflicting\, international perspectives on privacy and its points of tension with freedom of expression. We will begin with foundational concerns of legal theory: How is privacy conceived of and defined in various legal systems? To what extent does (and should) privacy serve as a limiting principle on freedom of expression? We will then move to more pragmatic questions about how these issue play out on the ground. Do heads of state have privacy rights that limit what can be said about them by the media and citizens? How do individuals with privacy concerns navigate the varying protections offered by different legal regimes? What challenges are posed to media and online entities that must determine how to comply with differing standards?

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Language Interpretation in Social Work Practice
DESCRIPTION:This professional development workshop will help students and professional social workers learn and appreciate the role of language in social work practice. All social workers\, monolingual and multilingual alike\, perform the role of language interpreter (and/or translator) in practice. Ensuring diversity\, equity and inclusion (DE&I) in practice calls for methods\, philosophies\, and tools that can allow us to build relationships across class\, gender\, immigration status\, sexuality\, language and race. Interpretation- facilitating communication across lines that might otherwise divide communities is essential to working towards our commitment to DE&I. Participants will learn methods and strategies for interpretation with special attention to the potential for power imbalances that influence the way in which communication is mediated through an interpreter.\nProgram\n8:30 AM: Continental Breakfast\n9 - 10:30 AM: Workshop I: Translation and Interpretation in Micro and Macro Social Work Practice\n10:30 AM - 12:00 PM: Workshop II: Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion through Language Interpretation in Social Work Practice\n12 - 2: PM: Working Lunch - Small group Discussions and Large Group Conclusions and Recommendations

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nIssued 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:2017 ARC Collaborative Research Seminar - Fall Series
DESCRIPTION:Talk 1. Fast Numerical Algorithms for High-fidelity Simulation of Terramechanics\nDr. Shravan Veerapaneni\, Assoc. Prof. Mathematics\, University of Michigan\nhttp://www.math.lsa.umich.edu/~shravan/\n\nAbstract: The discrete element method (DEM) is one of the most widely used approaches to simulate the dynamics of multiple rigid bodies\, specially in terramechanics applications. While the classical DEMs are based on applying penalty forces to handle contact\, novel complementarity constraint based approaches (DEM-C) are emerging as promising alternatives that ameliorate the numerical stability issues plaguing the penalty methods. Motivated by prior work at TARDEC\, we are interested in developing fast and scalable algorithms for solving the constrained optimization problem that arises in DEM-C. I will discuss the progress by our group in the past year\, the challenges that lay ahead and the broader impacts of this direction of research.\n\nTalk 2: Towards Kinematic Reconstruction of Roadway Scenes from Single-Camera Input\nDr. Jason	Corso\, Assoc. Prof. Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, University of Michigan\nhttp://web.eecs.umich.edu/~jjcorso/\n\nAbstract: Creating simulation environments takes ample well-annotated data. The recent trend moving toward machine learning-based construction and use of simulations has increased the need for such data. However\, acquiring such well-annotated data is a challenge\, especially in the case of rare traffic events like crashes. Surprisingly\, web-uploaded open-source videos acquired from simple devices like dash cameras already contain ample examples. Yet\, their 3d kinematic and dynamic parameters are not known. In this talk\, I will describe our recent efforts in inferring such parameters for third-person view dash-camera acquired video. Our works implement human-in-the-loop deep network architectures to reconstruct vehicle pose from a single viewpoint and to request input from a human to help with this process.\n\nRefreshments will be served 9:15 - 9:30am. Talks will begin promptly at 9:30am.\nARC seminars are free and open to the general public.

DESCRIPTION: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.\nCosmogonic 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.\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nMoving 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.\n\nLead 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nLead 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part II: Abstraction
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. \n\nThis 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\,\nLouise 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.\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 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.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Accenture Case Interview Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Think a career in consulting will offer the adventure you’ve been looking for? Wondering how to prepare for the interview process? Accenture\, one of the world’s leading providers of consulting services\, invites you to attend our case interview workshop and lunch on Friday\, September 22\, 2017 from 12:00 – 1:30 pm in the Pierpont Commons East Rooms. \n\nA case interview is a type of job interview that allows you to demonstrate your ability to approach and solve a given business problem - the types of problems that consultants encounter on a daily basis. During the case interview\, the interviewer will present a problem\, ask you to explore the underlying causes of the problem and then suggest a remedy. The cases given tend to be real business situations\, often drawn from the interviewer's actual project experience. There is no \"right\" answer to the case. We’re interested in how clearly you define the problem\, how logically you structure your analysis\, and how well you communicate your thoughts. The case interview provides us with an example of how you might perform in a consulting situation. \n\nWe are seeking intelligent people who can approach business situations in an analytical and creative fashion\, maintain a professional presence\, think under pressure…and have fun! Join us to enhance your case interview skills.\n\nFood will be provided. Space is limited\, please register below if planning to attend. This event is co-hosted by the Engineering Career Resource Center.\n\nRegister here: https://engineering-umich-csm.symplicity.com/students/index.php?signin_tab=0

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Fridays at Noon Lecture Series. A Delicate Relationship: The United States and Burma/Myanmar since 1945
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will survey the changing relations between the US and Burma since World War II. The importance of Burma to American policy makers the during the early Cold War has been forgotten\, after Vietnam came to dominate US concerns about Southeast Asia in the 1960s. After Ne Win took control of Burma in a military coup in 1962\, Burma soon became less important to the United States in Cold War terms\, with narcotics control emerging as the dominant issue. The Revolution of August 8\, 1988\, and the emergence of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi put Burma squarely into focus again with much disagreement about how to respond to the brutality of the military junta. This talk will explore the debate about imposing strong sanctions on Burma\, the change in policy under President Obama\, the impact of the sanctions\, and the degree to which concerns about China influenced American policy toward Myanmar.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 836 Seminar Series: Robert R. Fox\, PhD\, CPE
DESCRIPTION:Robert R. Fox\, PhD\, CPE\, General Motors\n\nTitle: International Ergonomics Standards\, Their Development and Challenges: A Perspective from a Corporate Ergonomist\n\nBio: Bob Fox has 30 years of experience in the field of ergonomics\, human  factors and physical anthropology.  He holds a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from Texas Tech University and has worked in General Motors North American and global ergonomics activities since late 1993. He has worked with divisions\, plants and the UAW-GM joint ergonomics program on addressing proactive ergonomics concerns and in developing and issuing ergonomics guidelines and evaluation tools and methods.  He is also involved with the development and presentation of advanced and specialized ergonomics training programs and special projects for GM.  He chairs the US Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to the International Standards Organization (ISO) for anthropometry and biomechanics and participates on various work groups for ANSI and ISO standards and technical reports on ergonomics.  He chairs the Technical Standards Division of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) which involves coordination and oversight of most human factors and ergonomics standards development in the USA.  He is currently an industry representative on a NIOSH developmental team for further MMH assessment tool development and participates in the NORA Musculoskeletal Cross-Sector Council.\n\nAbstract: The International Standards Organization (ISO) has technical committees devoted to the development and publication of voluntary standards in the ergonomics and human factors areas.  This presentation will discuss how the standards development process works and will focus on standards developments in the anthropometry and manual handling area.  The relevance of ergonomics standards to the industrial practitioner will be examined.   In particular\, the presentation will cover recent work on the revision of current lifting standards and efforts to involve industry and government in collaboration on standards work.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Life After Grad School Seminar | Atypical Adventures in Astrophysics:  Airplanes\, Airports\, and a School
DESCRIPTION:Deano Smith completed his Ph.D. in Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Michigan in 2000\, studying dark matter distributions with Professor Gary Bernstein. His dissertation\, “Determining Field Galaxy Halo Masses Via the Weak Gravitational Lensing Effect\,” was based upon observations made using the BTC\, or “Big Throughput Camera\,” that he worked on developing\, testing\, and putting into service as part of his graduate program. The camera\, which was the largest high-throughput astronomical camera at the time\, was used on the 4-meter Victor Blanco Telescope at the Cerro-Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile\, so he got some travel time and was able to enjoy the southern skies rather extensively. He was fortunate in the breadth of his astronomy experience\, having also worked with Joel Bregman and Mario Mateo on different research projects\, and having received advice\, tutelage\, and fun times at conferences with numerous faculty including Fred Adams\, Pat Seitzer\, and Gus Evrard. Since departing U of M with a two-body-academic problem\, he has taught high school science\, taught people to fly airplanes\, operated a small airport\, and held a tenure-track Research Scientist position in the Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratories. He has now returned to teaching high school science at Greenhills School in Ann Arbor.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series- Hurricanes: What's Next?
DESCRIPTION:The 2017 Atlantic Hurricane season has produced incredibly destructive storms\, and has raised many questions. What drives a hurricane? How accurate are hurricane models? How do authorities prepare for hurricanes and\, when destructive events like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma happen\, how do we respond? Is this hurricane season a fluke\, or should we start planning for more/similar storms? In this Teach-Out\, we will explore the science of hurricanes\, hurricane forecasting and monitoring\, and with what confidence can we attribute these storms to a warming ocean.\n\nTeach-Outs are short learning experiences\, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come\, join the conversation!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nCo-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. \n\nTaking 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.\n\nBy 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.\n\nCo-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.\n\nThis 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.\n\nBy 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nPhoto by Toni Hafkenscheid.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Vital Signs for a New America
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nCurated 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.\n\nActive 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.\n\nDylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore\nSaturdays\, September 9-October 14\, 1-3 pm\n\nDylan 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.\n\nSheryl Oring: I Wish to Say \nFriday\, September 8\, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)\nFridays\, September 15-October 13\, 5-7 pm\n\nNationally 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.\n\nThe Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers \nTuesday\, October 3\, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)\n\nThe 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi Discussion Group: The influence of power priming on gender and sibilant perception
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nContemporary literature suggests that listeners use auditory and visual gender cues during /s/-/ʃ/ categorization. This study builds upon previous research on sibilant categorization by investigating whether self-perceived power\, “an individual’s relative capacity to modify others’ states by providing or withholding resources or administering punishments” (Keltner et al. 2003)\, can serve as a mediating factor in gender and linguistic perception. Social processing seems to show some sensitivity to one's degree of self-perceived power - high-power individuals tend to attend less to information in conflict with their expectation of another according to the other’s social category. (Goodwin et al. 2000). I report whether gender cue congruity and the participant's primed degree of self-perceived power shapes the outcome of /s/-/ʃ/ categorization.\n\nParticipants were primed for a high or low degree of self-perceived power and completed a forced-choice identification task. During each trial\, participants saw an image of a face and heard one of a continuum of words ranging from \"shy\" to \"sigh\"\; they indicated whether they heard \"shy\" or \"sigh\". A mixed logistic regression revealed that participants overall were significantly more likely to respond “sigh” for a male voice (p<0.001) and male face (p=0.01). Participants primed for low-power were also significantly more likely to respond “sigh” when a given voice was paired with a male face\, relative to when it was paired with a female face (p<0.001) . Participants primed for high-power\, however\, were not significantly more likely to respond “sigh” for a given voice according to what face was paired with it (p=0.4). As hypothesized\, the responses of high-power participants showed less sensitivity to gender cue congruity than did those of low-power participants.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE285 Undergraduate Seminar: Making Good Decisions with Real-World Data
DESCRIPTION:Making good decisions with experimental or operational data is easy when everything is working well.  This seminar will discuss the different types of anomalous data seen in the real world\, methods for cleaning and reducing the data\, and how to present the data so that decision-makers can respond appropriately in both real-time and post-processed environments.  We will also explore the different types of decision-maker and discuss how the same dataset should be handled differently for each type.  All of these will be supported with examples of data collected from operational systems.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nRichard Walker graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering in 2005\, and a M.Eng. in Space Systems Engineering in 2006.  At Google\, he worked on the first versions of the Street View cars and imaging aircraft.  He then moved to SpaceX where he designed and built the solar arrays for the Cargo Dragon spacecraft as a Power Systems Engineer\, and then flew those panels to the International Space Station as an Operations Engineer.  After SpaceX\, he was the Satellite Operations Lead for Planet\, where he was responsible for the health and production of a fleet of 60+ Earth imaging satellites.  Finally\, he became an Operations Engineer at Zipline International\, responsible for digesting hundreds of flights of data a week to find actionable trends and anomalies.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Fragments Workshop. Scented Protection: A History of Saffron in Medieval China
DESCRIPTION:Panelists: Aileen Das (Classical Studies)\, Amanda Repass (PhD student in History-Anthropology Program)\, and Paul Freedman (History\, Yale). \n\nThe flourishing commerce of the Silk-Roads and the vibrant cultural exchange between China and the Western Regions (xiyu) fostered the circulation of diverse substances across the Eurasia continent. Prominent among them were a large number of aromatics of Indian\, Persian\, or Southeast Asian origin that entered Tang China (618-907) and transformed the landscape of Chinese medical practices. This paper focuses on a particular aromatic\, saffron (yujin xiang)\, which came from northern India and Kashmir. The paper explores the identification of the plant in Chinese sources\, various ways through which it was imported into China\, and the diverse values it acquired there.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition Presentation and Opening: The Future Needs..Something Blue
DESCRIPTION:Could anyone have foreseen the technical\, social\, and conceptual issues that have confronted the University of Michigan since its founding 200 years ago\, or the challenges it has faced in the last 100\, 50\, or even five years? In the marshaling of knowledge and expertise\, the greatest achievement of the University lies not in its continuity\, but in its ability to address the unforeseen. Drawing on the student work from the Taubman College Architecture Program\, “The Future Needs…Something Blue” addresses an idea of the future that lies not in the answers to questions we now know\, but in possibilities we are only now beginning to imagine. Sited at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning’s Liberty Research Annex\, the display is simultaneously shop window\, gallery\, and salon. Organized around a series of emergent themes it is an interactional space in which to view (in perspective\, parallax\, parallel\, and contrast) the multiple points of view that constitute the future.\n“The Future Needs…Something Blue” is curated by Associate Professor of Practice Julia McMorrough and Associate Professor John McMorrough of studioAPT (Architecture Practice Theory).\nOn Tuesday\, September 19 at 6:00pm there will be an opening reception at the Liberty Research Annex (305 W. Liberty St.\, Ann Arbor). Exhibition on view September 20 - October 29.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE585 Special Lecture - Data to Decisions for the Next Generation of Aerospace Systems
DESCRIPTION:New technologies are changing the way we think about designing and operating future aerospace systems. In particular\, the combination of sensing technologies and computational power brings new opportunities for data-driven modeling and data-driven decision-making. Yet data alone cannot deliver the levels of predictive confidence and modeling reliability demanded for aerospace systems. For that\, we must build on the decades of progress in rigorous physics-based modeling and associated uncertainty quantification. This talk discusses our work at the intersection of physics-based and data-driven modeling\, with a focus on the design of next-generation aircraft. We show how adaptive reduced models combined with machine learning enable dynamic decision-making onboard a structural-condition-aware UAV. We show how multi-fidelity formulations exploit a rich set of information sources to achieve multidisciplinary design under uncertainty for future aircraft concepts.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nKaren E. Willcox is Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is also Co-Director of the MIT Center for Computational Engineering and formerly the Associate Head of the MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. She has served on the faculty at MIT for 16 years. Prior to that\, she worked at Boeing Phantom Works with the Blended-Wing-Body aircraft design group. Her research at MIT has produced scalable computational methods for design of next-generation engineered systems\, with a particular focus on model reduction as a way to learn principled approximations from data and on multi-fidelity formulations to leverage multiple sources of uncertain information. These methods are widely applied in aircraft system design and environmental policy decision-making.  In addition to her research pursuits\, Willcox is active in education innovation. She served as co-Chair of the MIT Online Education Policy Initiative and co-Chair of the 2013-2014 Institute-wide Task Force on the Future of MIT Education. She is a recognized innovator in the U.S. education landscape\, where she is a 2015 recipient of the First in the World Department of Education grant.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: The Colorado River\, Climate Change\, Drought\, and Implications for the Globe
DESCRIPTION:Many current assessments of future climate and hydrologic change suggest that current drylands around the globe could become drier with continued anthropogenic climate change. In some regions\, such as the southwest U.S.\, there is an observed trend in this direction. This is particularly true for the Colorado River\, where the nature of drought is shifting to a more temperature-dominated climate extreme. At the same time\, however\, some recent and influential scientific assessments suggest that temperature-driven drying could be compensated by precipitation increases with little net increase to water supply or ecosystem risk. A new approach integrating the examination of temperature\, precipitation and drought risk indicate that Colorado River flows\, water supplies\, and ecosystems in the Southwest are already being seriously affected by warming\, and that continued warming could result in much larger water supply losses than widely thought\, even if mean precipitation increases. The implications of these results have serious implications for terrestrial systems in many parts of the globe\, including regions with higher average precipitation (e.g.\, the Amazon and Great Lakes regions). Interestingly\, we may be able to say this with high confidence.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:\"Dynamic activation of RNA functions: Insights into ligand-dependent RNA regulation\"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nRNA folds and balances between distinct conformational states for function. Riboswitches\, a class of non-coding regulatory RNAs composed of a ligand-sensing domain and an expression platform\, are known to control gene expression by folding into alternative conformations upon specific recognition of cellular cues. However\, a molecular understanding of the dynamic interplay between the sensing domain and the expression platform that underlies riboswitch regulation remains elusive. Here\, by developing and applying nucleic-acid-optimized chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) NMR spectroscopy\, together with mutagenesis and functional measurements\, we show that conformational kinetics of the riboswitch serves as a new layer of regulation\, where ligand-dependent accessibility of a low-populated (~1%) and short-lived (~ 3ms) RNA state guides distinct co-transcriptional folding pathways to direct gene expression outcome. Our results provide an integrated molecular mechanism for transcriptional riboswitches and exemplify a new mode of ligand-dependent RNA regulation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Lecture. Record Keeping Without Writing: Khipu Accounting in the Inka Empire
DESCRIPTION:The Inka recording device\, the khipu (Quechua: “knot”) has been the subject of intense interest and study through the 20th century and down to the present day. Early colonial Spanish observers of record keeping and accounting by former Inka administrators testified that khipus were used to register data of interest to the state (e.g.\, census and tribute records) as well as narrative-type accounts\, such as histories\, songs\, and poems. Researchers have determined how to decipher the quantitative information in Inka administrative records\, but little progress has been made to date deciphering the narrative khipus. This presentation provides an overview of what is currently known about khipu record keeping in Tawantinsuyu – the Inka Empire – with special attention to recent discoveries at the archaeological site of Inkawasi\, on the south coast of Peru. \n    \nGary Urton is Dumbarton Oaks Professor of Pre-Columbian Studies in the Department of Anthropology at Harvard. He earned his M.A. in Ancient History and his Ph.D. in Anthropology at the University of Illinois\, Champaign-Urbana. His research focuses on a variety of topics in pre-Columbian and early colonial Andean cultural and intellectual history\, drawing on materials and methods in archaeology\, ethnohistory\, and ethnology. He is the author of many articles and of numerous books and edited volumes on Andean/Quechua cultures and Inka civilization. His books include: At the Crossroads of the Earth and the Sky (1981)\, The History of a Myth (1990)\, The Social Life of Numbers (1997)\, Inca Myths (1999)\, and Signs of the Inka Khipu (2003). A former MacArthur Fellow (2001-2005) recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2014-15\, Urton is the Founder/Director of the Harvard Khipu Database Project\, which seeks to decode the Inka recording device\, the khipu (or quipu). He is currently at work analyzing a collection of khipus recently excavated at an Inka storage facility at the site of Inkawasi\, on the south coast of Peru.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium: Style in a second dialect: Topic- and stance-based variation among mobile speakers
DESCRIPTION:Style in a second dialect: Topic- and stance-based variation among mobile speakers\n\nPeople often change the way they speak after moving to and living in a new region. Mobile speakers do not simply \"lose\" an old accent or \"gain\" a new one\, however\; instead\, they alter specific dialect features depending on a range of linguistic\, social-attitudinal\, and developmental factors (e.g. Payne 1980\; Chambers 1992\; Kerswill 1996\; Evans & Iverson 2007\; Nycz 2013). Studies that compare the overall “acquirability” of multiple features reveal how linguistic competence may evolve as a result of exposure to new input\, and can help us develop better theories about the representations and processes underlying these changes (Nycz 2013\, 2015\; Walker 2014). But if we want to understand more broadly how communicative competence (Hymes 1972) can develop over the lifespan\, we must look at how speakers use both old and new dialect forms in interaction. To this end\, I examine topic-and stance-based stylistic variation in the speech of Canadians who have been living long-term in the New York City or Washington D.C. regions\, focusing on how they use regionally varying vowel features to express views about their first home (Canada and/or their hometown) as well as their adopted one (The United States and/or their new city). I find that these speakers exhibit gradient shift towards U.S. norms for all vowels analyzed\, as well as stylistic variation in regional stereotypes or markers associated with both their first region and their current one. Specifically\, positive or alignment stances towards Canada are associated with raising in (aw) (as in about and house)\, while negative and distancing stances are associated with lower (aw) nuclei\; no effect of style is found for (ay)\, a vowel which similarly differs across regions but does not carry similar social significance. Similarly\, positive or alignment stances towards New York City are associated with higher (oh) (as in coffee)\, but only among new New Yorkers\; no style effect is found for (o) (as in copy). These results suggest that mobile speakers continue to exploit the socio-indexical links in their native dialect while also learning and using new links in their adopted dialect – but only if those links are sufficiently socially salient.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hiroshi Yoshioka: Hiroshima\, Fukushima\, and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Hiroshima\, Fukushima\, and Beyond: Borders and Transgressions in Nuclear Imagination\nA talk by Hiroshi Yoshioka\, Professor\, Kokoro Research Center \nGraduate School of Art and Letters\, Kyoto University\n\nOrganized by the Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan in collaboration with the Center for Japanese Studies\, this talk focuses on several different images and narratives related to nuclear power\, radiation\, explosion\, and nuclear disasters in the context of postwar Japan. They include visions inspired by atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945\, the diffusion of a legend hiding a possible atomic bombing\, and images representing both hopes and fears about nuclear experiments and construction of nuclear power plants during the period of postwar economic growth after the 1950s. Today we find various images and narratives related to the Fukushima nuclear crisis caused by the earthquake and tsunami in 2011. Many people in Japan in the 1950s who longed for industrial development were convinced that nuclear power would be okay because it would be used for peaceful purposes and because experts assured it was technically safe\, although they were still obsessed by nightmarish memories of the nuclear attacks exerted on the nation only a decade before. Their mind was\, in a way\, split into two totally different perceptions of nuclear power: a kind of psychological “border” was set in people’s mind\, a border dividing a “good” nuclear energy from a “bad” one. In the realm of imagination\, however\, this border is sometimes transgressed in unexpected ways\, and we find such transgressions in images in popular culture as well as in works of art\, including most recently in the animated film\, In This Corner of the World.\n\nHiroshi Yoshioka is professor at Kokoro Research Center\, Kyoto University. He is a researcher of aesthetics and art theory\, freelance curator\, editor\, and artist. He has taught at IAMAS (Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Sciences)\, and other universities. He is the author of many books such as Shiso no genzaikei: Fukuzatsukeu\, dennokukan\, afodansu (The Present Tense of Thought: Complex Systems\, Cyberspace\, and Affordance Theory)\, Kodansha\, 1997\; Joho to seimei: No\, kompyuta\, uchu (Information and Life: The Brain\, Computers and the Universe) with Hisashi Muroi\, Shin’yosha\, 1993\; and many essays and articles on philosophy\, art\, and media culture. He was the general director of Kyoto Biennale 2003 and Gifu-Ogaki Biennale of New Media Arts 2006. He was the editor of Diatxt (the critical quarterly of the Kyoto Art Center) and other publications such as Yorobon\, which focuses on culture of the city of Yamaguchi\, and Parajin\, the publication project of PARASOPHIA Kyoto International Festival of Contemporary Culture 2015. He was the chair of ICOMAG (International Conference of Manga\, Animation\, Games and Media Arts) organized by the Agency of Cultural Affairs\, 2011-13. He has been a member of the multimedia installation project BEACON since 1999. He is the president of the Japanese Society of Aesthetics.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Visualizing the Social--Introductory Talks
DESCRIPTION:This conference explores the powerful and variegated engagement with the social in visual art from the aftermath of the Revolutions of 1848 and the Paris Commune of 1871 to the reshaping of the political landscape by the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. How did producers of pictures and other forms of visual imagery respond to and assist in the construction of an environment configured by the class divisions and conflicts endemic to developed capitalism? Our aim is to examine how this new social landscape was visualized in artistic initiatives that took a variety of forms\, from social realism to avant-garde experimentation. \n\nThe conference begins on Friday evening with introductory talks on the conference theme. On Saturday presentations by an international panel of distinguished speakers will be complemented by discussion of the broader issues raised by the conference\, including the continued relevance of social art history for our contemporary political period and for cultural history more generally.\n\nVISUALIZING THE SOCIAL - Schedule\n\nFriday  September 22\, 5pm-7pm\nAlex Potts (History of Art\, University of Michigan) ‘Introduction: Visual Art and the Politics of the Social’\nGeoff Eley (History\, University of Michigan)\, keynote talk ‘Intellectuals\, Socialism\, and the Social: Germany\, 1875-1933’. \n\nSaturday September 23\, 9am-6pm\n\nThe Age of Capital\n9:00-9:15 Introductory comments\n9:15 - 10:45\nDarcy Grimaldo Grigsby (History of Art\, University of California Berkeley)  ‘Creole Degas’ \nSteve Edwards (History of Art\, Birkbeck College\, UK) ‘Suspended Time: Antoine Claudet's studio at Regent Street and the Shock of 1848’ \n10:45-11:00 Coffee break\n1:00 – 12:30\nAndré Dombrowski (History of Art and Gender\, Sexuality and Women’s Studies\, University of Pennsylvania) ‘Instants\, Moments\, Minutes: Monet and Time Discipline’ \nMarnin Young (Art History\, Yeshiva University) ‘Seurat\, Spatiality and the Politics of Form’\n12:30-1:00 Response paper by Alex Fraser (University of Michigan\, History of Art) and general discussion\n\n1:00-2:00 Lunch\n\nCommunism\, Revolution and the Social \n2:00-3:30\nAndrés Mario  Zervigón (Rutgers University\, Art History and Center for Cultural Analysis) ‘The Raised and Mangled Hand of Leftist Solidarity\,1911-1933’\nAndrew Hemingway (History of Art\, University College London\, UK\, Emeritus) ‘Class Compositions: Visual Forms of the Mass in American Realist Art\, c. 1905-35’ \n3:30-3:45 Break\n3:45-5:15\nChristina Kiaer (Northwestern University\, Art History) ‘Revolution Every Day: Propagandizing Women in Early Soviet Russia’\nGail Day (History of Art and Cultural Studies\, University of Leeds\, UK) ‘Every day\, something happens to us: Realism at the crossroads’\n5:15-5:45 Response paper by Grant Mandarino (History of Art\, University of Michigan) and general discussion\n5:45-6:00 Concluding discussion

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Nights at the Museum | US Premiere Screening: Einstein on the Beach
DESCRIPTION:UMMA will once again illuminate its facade with eight days of artwork\, performances\, and video during Nights At the Museum this September.\n\nUMMA’s exterior media art initiative is free and open to the public\, and will run September 15-22 from early evening to dawn along its South State Street-side facade\, on the west side of the Maxine and Stuart Frankel and the Frankel Family Wing. \n\nEinstein on the Beach breaks all of the rules of conventional opera. Instead of a traditional orchestral arrangement\, Glass composed for the synthesizers\, woodwinds\, and voices of the Philip Glass Ensemble. Non-narrative in form\, the work uses a series of powerful recurrent images as its main dramatic device\, shown in juxtaposition with abstract dance sequences created by American choreographer Lucinda Childs.\n\nUMMA encourages viewers to bring blankets and chairs to enjoy the performances on the lawn\, and to send feedback using the #ummanights hashtag on social media sites. \n\nNights at the Museum is presented in partnership with the University Musical Society\, the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance and Department of Screen Arts & Cultures\, the Ann Arbor District Library\, and the Neutral Zone.\n\nGet the full schedule at umma.umich.edu/nights!

SUMMARY:Other:Celeste Ng with Douglas Trevor
DESCRIPTION:Celeste Ng grew up in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, and Shaker Heights\, Ohio\, in a family of scientists. She attended Harvard University and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan (now the Helen Zell Writers’ Program at the University of Michigan)\, where she won the Hopwood Award. Her fiction and essays have appeared in One Story\, TriQuarterly\, Bellevue Literary Review\, the Kenyon Review Online\, and elsewhere\, and she is the recipient of the Pushcart Prize. She lives in Cambridge\, Massachusetts\, with her husband and son.\n\nCeleste will be in conversation with Douglas Trevor\, Director of the Helen Zell Writers' Program at the University of Michigan\n\nAbout Little Fires Everywhere:\nIn Shaker Heights\, a placid\, progressive suburb of Cleveland\, everything is meticulously planned—from the layout of the winding roads\, to the colors of the houses\, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson\, whose guiding principal is playing by the rules.\n\nEnter Mia Warren- an enigmatic artist and single mother- who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenaged daughter Pearl\, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the alluring mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past\, and a disregard for the rules that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community.\n\nWhen the Richardsons’ friends attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby\, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town and puts Mia and Mrs. Richardson on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives\, Mrs. Richardson becomes determined to uncover the secrets in Mia’s past. But her obsession will come at unexpected and devastating costs to her own family—and Mia’s.\n\nLittle Fires Everywhere explores the weight of long-held secrets and the ferocious pull of motherhood—and the danger of believing that planning and following the rules can avert disaster\, or heartbreak.
