SUMMARY:Exhibition:Animal Friends: Ceramic Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Marcia Polenberg loves animals\, each with its own unique personality\, intelligence and expressive range of emotions. Using terra-cotta sculpture clay\, Polenberg hand builds her ceramic animals\, seemingly bringing them to life. The face of each one-of-a-kind work of art expresses happiness\, surprise\, mischief\, or a free spirit. Every sculpture is glazed and fired many times\, building up a rich\, textured colored surface. Holding an MFA from the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design in ceramics and sculpture and a BA from the City University of New York in painting\, Polenberg widely exhibits her creative works in several media: ceramics\, paint\, graphite and pastel.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Celebrating Science & Art
DESCRIPTION:The brilliantly colored images in this exhibit were taken in the course of scientific research\, and are beautiful in their detail\, form and symmetry. For each one\, an accompanying explanation describes its significance. The subjects of the images are cells\, tissues and organs\, from a wide variety of biological sources (plants\, worms\, fruit flies\, fish\, mice and yes\, even human brain). The colors are added by investigators\, to allow them to see the otherwise transparent tissues. By looking at these microscopic images\, you will learn about research into normal embryonic development as well as cutting-edge investigations into diseases such as basal cell carcinoma\, bipolar disease\, epilepsy and cancer.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Hineinu – Here We Are: An LGBTQ+ Jewish Photovoice Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:A same-sex Jewish marriage contract (Ketubah). A sign for gender inclusive bathrooms in a Jewish Community Center. A Christmas tree adorned with rainbow-colored ornaments and a Star of David topper. These are three of the 21 photos-with-narratives that constitute “Hineinu – Here We Are: An LGBTQ+ Jewish Photovoice Exhibit.” Combined with rich\, thought-provoking text\, these photos give insight into the varied experiences of local community members who are both Jewish and queer.\n\n“Photovoice” is the process of putting cameras in the hands of traditionally “voiceless” or marginalized community members to allow them to record\, reflect on\, and share their community’s strengths and concerns. Photovoice participants have the opportunity to capture their current experiences through pictures\, with the goal of sparking dialogue and action related to the themes depicted in the photos.\n\nAs you view this Photovoice exhibit\, we hope that you will consider what it means to be inclusive and welcoming\, and that you will continue to develop an awareness of the diversity of other people’s experiences both within and outside of the Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Innovations in Ornament
DESCRIPTION:This group show of jewelry and ornaments includes the work of Roger Martin\, who tackled the subject of a raven by relying on planes and shadow lines to imbue the surfaces of the bird with personality. Another one of the seven artists\, Lorraine Kolasa\, picked up the old fashioned art of tatting\, then cast tiny pieces of her handmade lace into sterling silver jewelry. Michael Nashef\, who spent half his life in war-torn Lebanon\, has created a series of innovative vessels and brooches. Other artists included in this exhibit are Kim Cridler\, Roger Smith\, Renee Zettle-Sterling and Ruth Taubman\, whose unmatched exuberance of color and 36 years of work and business innovation\, place her jewelry firmly on the national stage.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Organic Fiction: Acrylic on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Hava Gurevich’s colorful abstractions feature botanical\, aquatic and microscopic motifs as she explores repeating patterns in nature. Blending images from the real world and her imagination\, Organic Fiction celebrates nature in all its beauty\, chaos and complexity. Hava Gurevich received a BFA in photography from U-M and an MFA in painting from Illinois State University. Her creative process begins with photographs and sketches of details in nature\, such as tree branches\, ice patterns\, twisted vines\, and delicate spring blossoms. These drawings contribute to her personal vocabulary of shapes and gestures\, and she often digitally combines them with older paintings to become starting points of new works.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:David Cope: Player of Invisible Keys
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the work of Michigan poet David Cope\, once described by Allen Ginsberg as one of the \"leading lights of the next generation.\" This exhibit draws on drafts\, proofs\, and other documents from Cope's archive to offer a glimpse into his poetic and editorial process.\n\nWorking most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff\, Carl Rakosi\, and George Oppen\, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally\, for more than forty years\, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine\, The Big Scream\, providing a venue for more than 200 poets\, including both big names names and younger\, lesser-known poets. Earlier this year\, Ghost Pony Press released Cope’s eighth poetry collection: The Invisible Keys: New and Selected Poems.\n\nOn view during Special Collections Research Center hours: Monday-Friday\, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Urban Biographies\, Ancient and Modern
DESCRIPTION:Human beings are political animals\, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis\,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later\, we are still political animals\, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest\, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture. \n\nThis exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy\, Olynthos in Greece\, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities\, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit\, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today? \n\nLead Curator: Christopher Ratté\nCo-Curators: Lisa Nevett\, Nicola Terrenato\, and Kathy Velikov\n\nVisit the exhibition website: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/urban-biographies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Borders: Global Africa
DESCRIPTION:More than ever in the era of globalization\, ideas traverse geographic\, generational\, and cultural boundaries\, even as national borders seem to be closing. 'Beyond Borders: Global Africa' reflects on this moment by considering how Africa and its artists have been at the center of complex histories of encounter and exchange for centuries. Bringing together a dazzling array of works made in Africa\, Europe\, and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century\, the exhibition demonstrates the international scope and reach of art from Africa and the African diaspora.

SUMMARY:Meeting:Diversity Committee Fall Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Diversity Committee invites you to a presentation of four of our five Summer Award Grantees\, on Tuesday Oct 9th\, at 11am in Angell Hall 3222\, as the Diversity Committee Fall Symposium. \nCome and find out what they did with their Summer Grants – and find out how you can apply yourself for one of these grants.\n\nWe are also looking for two PhD and two undergraduate students to join our Diversity Committee (meet once a month\, read exciting project applications like the ones below\, think about how to foster diversity agendas for our department\, develop your leadership skills). Please contact Petra Kuppers at petra@umich.edu if you are interested/want to nominate someone!\n\n\nAnnika Pattenaude\nAbout me:\nI am 4th year PhD in L&L. I'm a California native\, and I love to swim. I study medieval literature\, and my dissertation examines (or will examine) the intersection of aesthetics and affect in late medieval poetry. \n\nAbout my project:\nThis summer\, under the mentorship of Hadji Bakara\, I designed a literature course on human rights in the premodern world. To conduct this project\, I compiled a bibliography of sources about rights in the classical\, medieval\, and early modern periods\, and then organized select texts by theme: e.g.\, \"Destabilizing the Human\" and \"Refugees\, Exiles\, and Aliens.\" Overall\, a main goal of this course is to map a long history of human rights in order to discover how people made claims to or were restricted from rights in the premodern world.\n\nElinam  Agbo\nAbout me:\nI am a second year MFA candidate (fiction) in the Helen Zell Writers' Program. I was born in Ghana and moved to the U.S. when I was ten. I grew up in Kansas\, and I love Chicago (where I went to college). \n\nAbout my project:\nThis summer\, I wrote the first draft of a Young Adult novel\, exploring black girlhood with a focus on my protagonist's relationship with her mother and her hair. The story was set in a surreal world where bureaucracy meets fairy tale characters\, a world adjacent to ours but not quite ours. I shifted between two perspectives\, one in prose and the other in verse\, and I worked with my faculty mentor\, Laura Kasischke\, who is well versed in fiction and poetry. \n\n\nAkosua Afiriyie-Hwedie (presentation via hand-out)\nAbout me:\nI'm a 2nd year MFA in poetry. I’m Zambian-Ghanaian and was raised in Botswana. My work is a journey in navigating home as a multitude of places and as more than just a physical space. Home can be many things\, a mother\, a language\, a word etc.\n\nAbout my project:\nMy mentor for the summer was Professor Ruth Behar (a cultural anthropologist who specializes in concepts of home\, diaspora\, displacement\, immigration\, travel\, ethnographic research and methods specific to native anthropological research). With the help of Professor Behar and the Diversity Committee grant\, I visited historic sites and interviewed people in both Ghana and Botswana. Thereafter\, I produced a collection of poems which expound upon meanings of home (as physical space and beyond)\, particular to people indigenous to those spaces. \n\nDavid Wade\nAbout me:\nI am a second-year MFA candidate in Fiction from the small rustbelt city of Washington\, PA. My interests include hip hop\, theology\, mixed martial arts\, and speculative fiction. My thesis is a collection of short stories about my hometown and the people who’ve never left.\n\n About my project:\n This summer\, under the mentorship if Van Jordan\, I worked on a poetry collection that examined the idea of “the wake” a as perpetual state of melancholy and subjugation unique to the African-American and global black experience found in Christina Sharpe’s monograph\, In the Wake\, among similar claims by other poets and scholars. The project seeks to challenge the narrative that the black experience is evenly transmuted across generation in perpetuity with no foreseeable expiration date.\n\n\nRackham Diversity Allies Program Spring/Summer Mentorship Grants\nThe Spring/Summer Mentorship Grants are for second\, third\, and fourth-year PhD L&L\, JPEE\, and E&WS students and first-year MFA students\, and applications are due late in the Winter Semester.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire
DESCRIPTION:Have We Met: Dialogues on Memory and Desire draws inspiration from Ann Arbor’s legacy of social movements (Anti-War Movement\, Civil Rights Movements) and experimental art practices (The Once Group) from the late-1950s to the 1970s as its point of departure. It brings together archival materials and reproductions from the University of Michigan’s Labadie Collection and the Bentley Library in conjunction with radical artworks by diverse\, multi-generational artists and designers whose works are deeply influenced by the ideas of freedom and self-determination\; re-writing the canonical accounts of history\; and building contemporary culture and solidarity through collective action.\n\nAt a time when the idea of citizenship in the United States is being deeply challenged and redefined through horrific occurrences of gun violence and police brutality towards racialized and queer civilians and refugees\, this exhibition asks what role art institutions can play in building inclusive and vibrant creative spaces the 21st Century. Have We Met? Dialogues on Memory and Desire retraces and learns from models of collectivity and organizing mobilized by artists\, designers\, and cultural producers in the past and present as a lens to understand the contemporary moment and re-imagine the future.  It explores the complex relationships and at times overlapping and contested concerns between contemporary art\, design\, and social justice that continually influence and inform one another.\n\nArtists: Rudolf Baranik\, Stephanie Dinkins\, Emory Douglas\, Brendan Fernandes\, Chitra Ganesh\, Carole Harris\, Maren Hassinger\, Al Loving\, Josh MacPhee\, Native Art Department International\, Michele Oka Doner\, Yoko Ono\, Kameelah Janan Rasheed\, Martha Rosler\, Buster Simpson\, Gregory Sholette\, Leni Sinclair\, Stephanie Syjuco\, Graem Whyte\, and Zafos Xagoraris. \n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Life Magazine 1947 Homecoming Photographs
DESCRIPTION:In October 1947\, just two years after the end of World War II\, the popular weekly news magazine LIFE sent staff photographers Lisa Larsen and Ralph Morse to cover homecoming weekend at the University of Michigan. The subsequent article\, “Michigan Homecoming\,” which brought national attention to UM’s athletic program\, featured a seven-page spread with photographs of the campus during a much-anticipated football game between the number-one ranked Michigan Wolverines and the University of Minnesota’s Golden Gophers. This installation provides a unique opportunity to view twenty-one images of that weekend\, many of which were not published in the original article\, recently donated to UMMA by John and Susan Edwards Harvith. Considered alongside the article\, these photographs of fervent fans\, strolling couples\, alumni making their annual pilgrimage\, and the game itself present LIFE magazine’s view of a giddy post-war public enjoying a return to American pastimes.\n\nThese photographs were recently gifted to UMMA by John (AB '69\, JD '73) and Susan (MMP '73) Harvith.

SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:impactXchange–VOTING
DESCRIPTION:North Campus DEI Collaborative–College of Engineering\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Duderstadt Center\, School of Music\, Theater and Dance\, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, Rackham Student Government\n\nJoin the North Campus DEI Collaborative impactXchange–College of Engineering\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Duderstadt Center\, School of Music\, Theater and Dance\, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and the Rackham Student Government in celebration of Diversity Week 2018.\n\nThe all day celebration aims to put students in the driver’s seat of decision making. We will explore the topic of VOTING and how voting and not voting impacts students and their peers (students will be able to register to vote too!). Students will learn what they can do in their communities to create change (regardless if they can vote or not). Live performances\, exhibition posters on voting\, workshops\, food\, and entertainment will make this event one that must not be missed.\n\nWhen: Tuesday\, October 9\, 2018\nWhere: The Grove and Duderstadt Center\nTime: 11:30am-1:00pm\nSpecial Guest: Ruby Sales–Building a Vibrant Youth Culture at 6:30pm in the new Taubman College Commons.\nLight refreshments will be served.\n\nRuby Nell Sales looks at her work as a calling rather than a career. She answered the call to social justice as a teenager at Tuskegee Institute where she joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and worked on voter registration in Lowndes County\, Alabama. Sales has made the struggle for racial justice one of the centerpieces of her work through the SpiritHouse Project. Recognizing a need to nurture the hope that still resides in young people as well as to revive an intergenerational community and human compassion\, in 2016 the SpiritHouse Project introduced Hope Zones.™ They are alternative learning spaces designed to strengthen the hope\, courage\, reason\, and will of young people to individually and collectively stand up for themselves with dignity\, clarity and nonviolent persistence. According to the Harvard Gazette\, Ruby spoke about the fight for racial equality in the U.S. and shared\, “Even in the face of challenges\, there are reasons for hope. Freedom must be seen as a constant struggle. We don’t have to give in to despair.”

SUMMARY:Presentation:Elliott S. Valenstein Lecture - Biopsychology Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Title:  We live in different taste worlds: Supertasters and common pathologies\n\nI grew up in a small prairie town in South Dakota in an era when women in science were a curiosity.  Maybe this had something to do with my early interest in differences in how we perceive the world.  In taste\, there are genetic differences as well as common pathologies that affect the intensities of taste sensations.  Individuals we called “supertasters” experience taste sensations that are more than twice as intense as the taste experiences of others.  Supertasting affects dietary choices that affect health.   Common pathologies (middle ear infections\, tonsillectomies) can damage taste.  Taste damage can produce some unexpected effects since there are inhibitory connections among the central projections of both taste nerves and nerves mediating other oral sensations (touch\, pain\, retronasal olfaction).  Thus damage to taste can actually intensify some oral sensations when inhibitory connections are abolished.  Damage to taste can also produce phantoms: sensations in the absence of obvious stimulation.  Most recently my lab is collaborating with horticultural scientists to identify volatiles that can affect taste messages centrally.  These volatiles have practical benefits (e.g.\, enhancing sweet and salty tastes) as well as clinical benefits.  We can use some volatiles to bypass peripheral taste damage and restore some normal taste sensations to patients.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Plato\, Through Confucian Eyes
DESCRIPTION:While many published studies compare ancient Greek and Chinese philosophy\, such studies usually start by identifying some set of ideas in the Greek texts\, and then argue that one can find the same or similar ideas on the Chinese side. In this talk\, Professor Hutton reverses that direction of comparison and use Chinese ideas—and in particular early Confucian views—as a lens to re-examine Greek philosophy\, starting with Plato. Through this method\, he aims to show how Confucian perspectives can unearth new interpretive insights about Western philosophical texts\, and how this process can also aid us in thinking more deeply about the Confucian views themselves. \n    \nEric L. Hutton is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City\, where he has been teaching since 2002. His research focuses on early Confucianism and comparative studies of ancient Greek and Chinese philosophy\, especially on the topic of ethics. His major publications include a translation\, \"Xunzi: The Complete Text\" (Princeton University Press\, 2014)\, and an edited volume\, the \"Dao Companion to the Philosophy of Xunzi\" (Springer\, 2016). He is also co-editor (with Justin Tiwald) of the new translation series \"Oxford Chinese Thought.\"\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange. Email us at chinese.studies@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FellowSpeak: \"Eating Cheese in the Carolingian Empire\"
DESCRIPTION:A 30 min. talk by Noah Blan\, Institute for the Humanities 2018-19 postdoctoral research fellow\, followed by Q & A.\n\nOn January 13\, 829 CE\, the Carolingian emperor\, Louis the Pious\, along with his eldest son and co-ruler Lothar I\, issued a charter that confirmed provisions claimed by the monks of Saint-Germain-des-Prés\, a large and prosperous Parisian abbey. Among the supplies demanded of the villages and common households that owed them goods and services\, the monks ordered more than 8\,000 pounds of cheese\, an astonishing request given the constraints of energy and labor in a preindustrial\, organic economy. Following the production of this cheese—from small dairy farms to its consumption at elite tables—reveals how early medieval people organized land and limited resources to produce large quantities of food. This talk demarginalizes the peasants and animals whose exploitation sustained aristocratic appetites and puts them at the center of an intricate and precarious food network. In short\, it examines how something as simple as eating cheese was an act that nourished a vast and complex empire.

DESCRIPTION:Wao Kanaka\nSkins 6.0/He Au Hou 2 Game Still (courtesy of author)\n\nEvent Information\nDate & Time\nOctober 9\, 2018 - 12:30pm to 2:00pm\nLocation\nHatcher Graduate Library\, Gallery Lab\nLocation Information\nEvent Type\nTalk\nThis presentation is an exploration of the intersections of video game building\, meaningful learning\, Indigenous and Western cultures through relation-oriented ontologies - rather than aspect- or object- oriented ones. From the tech that is used to the land and waters the event is hosted on - these connections matter\, weaving networks of relations across digital and physical heterotopic borders.\n\nFor three weeks in the Summer of 2017 and 2018\, a group of primarily Indigenous students from diverse backgrounds and levels of experience came together to create a video game based on Hawaiian mo’olelo or storytelling.The Skins 5.0 and 6.0 workshops resulted from the collaboration of multiple organizations including The Initiative for Indigenous Futures (IIF)\, Kanaeokana\, and Aboriginal Territories in Cyberspace. These groups contributed funding\, curriculum\, educators and enthusiasm to provide the physical and mental space necessary for the creation of these relationship networks.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Africa Workshop with Jacqueline-Bethel Bougoue (Baylor University)
DESCRIPTION:JACQUELINE-BETHEL MOUGOUÉ is an interdisciplinary feminist scholar who is particularly interested in the gendering of identities in state politics\, body politics\, and religious politics in Cameroon. Currently\, she is an assistant professor of history at Baylor University. Her first book\, Gender\, Separatist Politics and Embodied Nationalism in Cameroon is forthcoming with University of Michigan Press in 2019. Using oral interviews and archival records\, such as Cameroon’s first cooking book and women’s advice columns\, the book examines issues related to cookery\, gossiping\, sagacious female politicians\, “sluggish” women who fail to attend the meetings of women’s organizations\,  and unruly housewives known as “women extremists\,” to illuminate how issues of ideal womanhood shaped the Anglophone Cameroonian nationalist movement in the first decade of independence.  The book uses the concept of embodied nationalism to illustrate how political elites and formally educated urbanites implied that women’s everyday patterns of behavior and comportment—the clothes that women wore\, the foods they cooked\, their abstention from gossip\, and their adherence to appropriate marital behavior in public spaces—might make a suitable Anglophone Cameroonian persona physically conspicuous on the local\, national\, and international stage. By drawing upon history\, political science\, gender studies\, and feminist epistemologies\, Mougoué demonstrates how preserving conservative ideal Anglophone womanhood\, cultural values\, and political identity came to be seen as the lynchpin of Anglophone unity in English-speaking towns in Cameroon during the 1960s and early 1970s. Mougoué is currently finalizing research on her second book on the history of the Bahá’í Faith and masculine identities in English-Speaking Cameroon from the 1950s to the 1980s.\n\nMougoué’s scholarly articles have appeared in Gender & History\, Journal of West African History\, and Feminist Africa. She has forthcoming articles in Meridians: Feminism\, Race\, Transnationalism and African Studies Review. In addition\, she has a forthcoming chapter on gender\, leisure\, and sports in Cameroon in Everyday Life on the African Continent: Fun\, Leisure\, and Expressivity (Ohio University Press). Mougoué is also a guest editor for a forthcoming topical forum\, or “issue\,” in African Studies Review (“Bodily Practices and Aesthetic Rituals in 20th Century Africa”). Her research has also appeared in academic blogs including African Studies Association News and Africa is a Country.\n\nMougoué has been a visiting scholar at the University of Buea (Cameroon) and a fellow at Northwestern University (United States). Currently\, Mougoué is Co-Convenor of African Studies Association (ASA) Women’s Caucus\, Advisory Member of ASA North American Scholars on Cameroon Association\, Conference Liaison for Coordinating Council for Women in History (CCWH) and a member of the CCWH  Mentorship Program Committee. Please click here for a CCWH brochure.\n\nMougoué has been invited to share her research at various academic institutions including Yale University (United States)\,  Northwestern University (United States)\, Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University (Morocco)\, University of Leuven (Belgium)\, and Paris Diderot University (France). See the following for additional information on upcoming/past plenary talks.\n\nMougoué received her M.A. and Ph.D. in history from Purdue University. She holds an additional degree from Purdue\, a Graduate Certificate in Women’s\, Gender\, & Sexuality Studies (WGSS) from the WGSS Program. Mougoué’s hobbies include long-distance running (her favorite runs were on Mount Cameroon and in Hawaii\, the big island)\, traveling\, photography\, painting\, and writing poetry and short stories.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Emory Upton: Civil War Hero and Army Reformer
DESCRIPTION:Dr. David J. Fitzpatrick is a professor of history at Washtenaw Community College.  His research focuses on military policy and on civil-military relations in the United States during the post-Civil War era.  His most recent work is Emory Upton:  Misunderstood Reformer (Oklahoma University Press\, 2017).  Upton is well known for his exploits at Rappahannock Station (1863)\, at Spotsylvania (1864) and on Wilson’s Cavalry Raid (1865) during the Civil War\, but he is less well known for his post-war efforts to reform the United States Army.  Those efforts failed in his lifetime (he committed suicide in 1881)\, but they came to fruition with the Root Reforms of the early 20th Century.  Dr. Fitzpatrick is also the author of several journal articles and published essays.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jacqueline Goldsby Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture by Jacqueline Goldsby (Yale)\n\nAt mid-century\, a great migration (of a different sort) transformed the history of the book in the United States. Author portraits migrated from the interior frontispiece to the rear flaps and back covers of dust jackets. At this same time--when Jim Crow segregation reached its repressive heights--African American novels\, poetry\, drama\, and prose non-fiction became prize-winning and best-selling books in the mainstream marketplace. Though they may strike us now as staid\, kitsch\, or even banal photographs\, African American author portraits from the 1940s and 1950s bristle with a fusion of visual grammars: racial uplift image-making meets the Hollywood glam shot and noir chiaroscuro. My talk explores the paradoxes this image-archive presents. How should we understand the violent restriction of Black bodies in social space\, on the one hand\, compared to the widespread circulation of African American writers’ exuberant\, boldly styled books\, on the other? What cultural work did dust jackets\, author portraits\, and their design perform for mid-century Black writing--to what ends\, with what consequences\, for what reading publics? \n\nDrawing on history of the book studies\, cultural histories of post-WWII photography\, theories of authorship\, celebrity\, and performance\, and my own on-going efforts to archive first edition dust jackets\, I argue that the paratextual placement of author portraits require us to reconceive African American literature’s aesthetic imperatives and social contract at mid-century. Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man (1952) and Gwendolyn Brooks' Annie Allen (1949) serve as my exemplars\, because those works’ famous aesthetic difficulties\, together with Ellison's and Brooks' portraits on the books’ dust jackets\, set forth the signal development that distinguishes mid-century African American authorship: namely\, the turn away from writing as indexical of Black personhood to the practice of writing as expressive of Black pluralities\, or personae. Put another way\, by foregrounding alterity rather than authenticity as the threshold where readers meet and interpret Black literature as works of art\, the dust jacket portraits of Ellison and Brooks enact a cultural politics of their own. Not only do they archive the vitality and variety of Black writing at mid-century. Their fragility and mere survival as material artifacts remind us how precarious the history of Black writing and its writers can be.\n\n\nJacqueline Goldsby is Professor of English\, African American Studies\, and American Studies at Yale University. She currently chairs Yale’s Department of African American Studies. \n\nShe is the author of the prizewinning A Spectacular Secret: Lynching in American Life and Literature (University of Chicago Press\, 2006) and other articles about African American literature and book history during the long century of Jim Crow segregation\, from 1865-1965. In 2015\, she edited the Norton Critical Edition of James Weldon Johnson’s 1912 novel\, The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man. And she’s currently at work finishing The Art of Being Difficult: African American Literary Culture of the 1940s and 1950s.\n\nThe research required to launch The Art of Being Difficult led Goldsby to co-design and direct \"Mapping the Stacks: A Guide to Black Chicago's Hidden Archives.\" She managed that project from 2005-10\, while she taught at the University of Chicago. “Mapping the Stacks” helped transform the practice of archival recovery and description in Chicago and across the U.S\, as the project became the model for the Council on Library and Information Resources’ $27.5 million grant program\, “Cataloguing Hidden Collections and Archives” (2008-14). Her work in library-archival recovery and knowledge-organization continues: she’s co-directing the Black Bibliography Project with Meredith McGill of Rutgers. Goldsby and McGill are forging national partnerships with librarians\, curators\, cataloguers and history of the book scholars\, to revive (and transform) descriptive bibliography for Black print culture materials.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Nandini Ananth: Charge Transfer Dynamics\, Excited State Energetics\, and Organic Photovoltaics
DESCRIPTION:Designing molecular materials for use as organic photovoltaics\, molecular electronics\, and photocatalysts is a multifaceted challenge requiring a detailed understanding of both the excited state energetics and the dynamics of charge and energy transfer. We address the dynamic challenge by developing new methods based on the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics that are uniquely suited to the simulation of photo-initiated excited state dynamics in the condensed phase. We then tackle the characterization of the excited state manifold in molecular systems using a combination of high-level electronic structure methods to accurately calculate excited state energies\, normal mode analysis to quantify vibronic couplings\, and novel orbital analyses to uncover structure-spectrum correlations.\nIn this talk\, we focus on one target application: designing chromophores that exhibit ultrafast Singlet Fission (SF)\, a phenomenon that has the potential to significantly increase organic solar cell efficiency. We investigate SF in non-bonded and covalently bonded pentacene dimers: we uncover two distinct mechanistic pathways for ultrafast SF and we identify molecular geometries and bonding motifs that can be modified to enhance efficiency in each case. Finally\, we combine the insights obtained from our theoretical investigations to generate a priori design principles for next-generation SF chromophores\, and working with experimental collaborators\, we verify them.\n\nNandini Ananth is an associate professor in the department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University. She received her bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Stella Maris College in Chennai\, India\, and a Masters in chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras.

SUMMARY:Other:Watching metalloenzymes at work
DESCRIPTION:                        Structures of bioinorganic catalysts can often uniquely rationalize important aspects of chemical and biological reaction control.  My research group studies the structural differences between members of large metalloenzyme superfamilies that share common characteristics but trigger different reactions or use distinct cofactors.  We have initially focused on systems unified in their ability to activate strong C-H\, N-H\, or O-H bonds.  Key objectives include identification of the outcome-dictating structural features of a given catalyst and structure-guided reprogramming for new function.  To achieve these ends\, we determine stable reactant and product complexes\, with an increasing focus on development and implementation of crystallographic approaches to study metalloenzyme reaction intermediates.  These experiments are challenging due to the fleeting and reactive nature of these states but uniquely informative because of the fully contextualized view they provide at critical points in the catalytic cycle.                                                                                                                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nAmie Boal (The Pennsylvania State University)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | A Song of Dissent and Democracy: \"March for the Beloved\" and the Politics of Resistance in South Korea
DESCRIPTION:In early 1982\, a group of writers\, labor activists\, and musicians gathered at a remote house in the southwestern city of Kwangju. Under the watchful eye of Chun Doo Hwan’s military dictatorship\, the group clandestinely performed and recorded “March for the Beloved” (Im ŭl wihan haengjingok)\, a song to honor the “soul marriage” of late activists Pak Kisun and Yun Sangwǒn. Born in a city that had yet to recover from a brutal massacre of civilians staged by the military state in May of 1980\, the song moved vastly beyond its original intent of commemorating those massacred and consoling the bereaved. Over the decades to follow\, the song would emerge as the most powerful and widely sung anthem for counter-state movements\, often finding itself at the center of much controversy over how to remember the tumultuous 1980s. This paper examines the bizarre twists and turns the song has undergone since its original inception\, as occasions for thinking about the culture of protest and the politics of memory that shape the legacies of democratization in South Korea. \n    \nSusan Hwang is Assistant Professor of Contemporary Korean Literature and Cultural Studies in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Indiana University. Her current research focuses on the changing relationship between literature and politics from the 1960s to the present in South Korea.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Western Den
DESCRIPTION:To find a musical soulmate\, someone with whom to explore your innermost feelings\, unite artistic languages\, and craft a shared voice is a daunting\, even mysterious\, undertaking. Some writers spend years searching and never uncover the other half they seek\; for others\, a partnership just flicks on like a light. The origin story of the hauntingly beautiful duo The Western Den is wonderfully curious in just this way: Deni Hlavinka\, an introspective pianist from small-town Virginia\, posted a song idea on a college forum for accepted students. Chris West\, a bright-eyed guitarist from Bermuda\, sent back the song the following day in finished form. Upon meeting in person\, they discovered their musical—and personal—bond was eerily close\; there was never a discussion of forming a band\, never a conscious choice\, it just happened\, fueled by a sheer desire\, a necessity to pursue what felt right.
