In the early years of the American Studio Glass Movement (1974-1984) Babcock’s sculptural and painterly expression utilized the vessel format. By layering color — both mass and line — between gathers of clear\, molten glass\, the full compositions are viewed through the vessel as three-dimensional. Babcock is Professor Emeritus\, College for Creative Studies. He was Section Chair of the Glass Department where he taught for 40 years. He lives in Ann Arbor and built a new studio near U-M north campus in 2016.

She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

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.

A powerful way to investigate how stress affects reproduction is by examining its effects on a biological system essential for regulating reproduction\, the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Join Dr. Calisi Rodríguez as she uses avian models to test causal and sex-typical effects of stress on genomic transcription of the HPG axis. By doing so\, her lab has been creating an extensive genomic foundation on which to innovate the study of stress-induced reproductive dysfunction\, with the potential to transform the fields of stress and reproductive biology.

The Imagined Futures of Secondary School Men in Kenya\, 1940-1960’ DESCRIPTION:Kenda Mutongi is Professor of Africa History at Williams College. She is the author of MATATU: A History of Popular Transportation in Nairobi (University of Chicago Press\, 2017)\; and Worries of the Heart: Widows\, Family\, and Community in Kenya (University of Chicago Press\, 2007)\, which received an Honorable Mention from the African Studies Association’s Melville J. Herskovits Award for the best scholarly book on Africa in all disciplines. She has also published articles in the main African studies journals.\n\nHer current project focuses on the history of secondary schooling in Kenya. The study focuses on post-colonial Kenya but also looks back to the turn of the twentieth century when the first schools were established in Kenya. The study will help provide a picture of what it has been like for the students to grow up in a Kenya that is buffeted by all the fears\, expectations\, and contradictions of a new African nation.\n\nMutongi has been a Member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton\, and a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard\, and at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in Amsterdam.

Medicine has aided and abetted these processes in a variety of ways\, most famously through its contributions to the establishment of modern ‘scientific racism’. Before that Hippocratic environmentalist paradigms dominated many imperial powers: peoples were made the way they were by location and climate\, amongst other externally operative factors\, not by something intrinsic to them and transmissible to their offspring without that outside assistance. This lecture explores how these notions worked in the specific context of the Roman Empire\, with its particular commitments to hierarchy and structure\, its definitional claims and organisational styles. There was congruity\, it is argued\, between the theories of human differentiation articulated by medical authors such as Galen and key features of the imperial formation within which he lived and wrote.'

Colloquial use of the term “sex life” usually takes the form of a value judgment: one’s sex life is either “good” or “bad.” I argue that these seemingly simple value judgments actually signal a host of assumptions about the ways that sex weaves itself—mentally\, physically\, emotionally\, and politically—through everyday life\, and that these assumptions can provide scholars with a useful guide for approaching sex in the past. Such a focus on the lived experience of sexuality can also\, I argue\, help us reconceptualize the lived experience of other\, intersecting vectors of social differentiation and hierarchiziation. Focusing on one such intersection\, the phenomenological imbrication of race and sex\, I analyze the affective scripts that interracial romances like John Fletcher's The Island Princess (1621) offered to early modern playgoers—some of whom\, I show\, may we have been in interracial relationships themselves. Ultimately\, I argue that reading for the sex lives of the early moderns reveals some of the inner workings of racism in a period before \"race\" emerged as an identity category.

Nigeria’s Elections: Democracy and Disillusionment DESCRIPTION:In 2015\, Nigerian voters elected a new party for the first time since democratic transition in 1999. Foreign observers hailed the election as a watershed moment for Nigerian democracy and applauded the performance of the country's electoral commission. Many Nigerians hoped that President Muhammadu Buhari would take muscular action against government corruption\, economic recession\, and the Boko Haram insurgency. Four years later\, the Buhari administration's performance has been mixed. Some progress has been made in the northeast against Boko Haram\, but rule of law is worsening in other parts of the country. Corruption remains endemic\, and state governments struggle to pay salaries in the wake of federal budget cuts. At the same time\, a new generation of reformist governors is trying to chart a new path at the state level\, while the country's electoral commission has invested in technology in hopes that it can tamp down on ballot fraud and violence. \n \nThis panel will examine the prospects for 2019's elections. Will the ruling All Progressives Congress hold onto power? What issues will shape Nigerian voters' choices? What dynamics at the local level are the most important factors to watch? And\, most fundamentally\, will these elections reflect the will of the Nigerian electorate\, or will money and violence continue to play an outsized role in Nigerians' electoral choices? \n \nOmolade Adunbi is a political anthropologist and an assistant professor of Afroamerican and African studies at the University of Michigan. His areas of research explore issues related to resource distribution\, governance\, human and environmental rights\, power\, culture\, transnational institutions\, multinational corporations and the postcolonial state. His latest book\, \"Oil Wealth and Insurgency in Nigeria\" (Indiana University Press\, 2015) addresses issues related to oil wealth\, multinational corporations\, transnational institutions\, NGOs and violence in oil-rich Niger Delta region of Nigeria. \n \nAdrienne LeBas is an associate professor of government at American University. She was previously a Prize Research Fellow at Nuffield College\, University of Oxford\, and assistant professor of political science and African studies at Michigan State University. Her research interests include social movements\, democratization\, and political violence. LeBas is the author of the award-winning \"From Protest to Parties: Party-Building and Democratization in Africa\" (Oxford University Press\, 2011) and articles in the British Journal of Political Science\, the Journal of Democracy\, Comparative Politics\, and elsewhere. LeBas also worked as a consultant for Human Rights Watch in Zimbabwe\, where she lived from 2002-03. \n \nDan Slater specializes in the politics and history of enduring dictatorships and emerging democracies\, with a regional focus on Southeast Asia. He is the Ronald and Eileen Weiser Professor of Emerging Democracies\, professor of political science\, and director of the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies at the University of Michigan. Previously he was director of the Center for International Social Science Research (CISSR)\, associate professor in the Department of Political Science\, and associate member in the Department of Sociology at the University of Chicago.

So when we become leaders\, we rely on what we’ve seen in the movies. We take the clutch shots\, show more emotion\, bark out orders\, stamp out dissent in thelocker room\, and practice speeches in the mirror. Sam Walker’s research shows none of those things are required. Sometimes the best leader on a team isn’t obvious to the outside world. In fact\, it might be the last person you’d expect. \n\nIf you attend this event\, you will receive a free copy of \"The Captain Class\" and gain insight of the 7 researched doable behaviors needed to influence others.

It takes place during a ten-week research summer school between the middle of May and the end of July.\n\nUROP International at Aachen consists of three components: a research project at one of RWTH Aachen's research institutes or labs is at the core.\n\nAdditionally\, students are offered a comprehensive accompanying program: an intensive German course and workshops on intercultural learning\, scientific methods\, and research practice to prepare them for their respective research project.\n\nFurthermore\, the international guests participate in a number of leisure activities to gain a look at German history and culture and meet German and international students at RWTH. Regular get togethers\, excursions in the region\, institute visits\, and much more\, form the framework of the students' stay in Aachen.\n\nThe program’s duration is ten weeks. The first week is dedicated to a Fit for UROP at Aachen workshop\, introducing participants to research and culture\, as well as to an intercultural training\, which allows the students to gain an initial impression of German culture and informs about intercultural differences. Moreover\, the first week is used to settle organizational issues and to make students familiar with RWTH Aachen University and with life in Aachen. Each student is assigned a RWTH student\, who serves as a buddy and mentor during the first steps in Aachen.\n\nFrom the second week to the end of the program\, students work on their research project full time. The German language course starts during the first week and ends at the end of the eighth week. It takes place twice a week in the morning.\n\nThe program is supplemented by numerous leisure activities and excursions with the buddies. All communication is in English.\n\nStudents will receive a certificate for both their research project and the language class upon successful completion of the program\, marked by the submission of a report and participation in the closing UROP at Aachen Symposium\, where students present project results as part of a research conference. A total of 60 students can annually participate in UROP International at Aachen.\n\nThis program is open to all LSA students but is not administered through the University of Michigan. You will be eligible to receive German 351 credits (Fall 2019). Talk to a German advisor about language credits.\n\nWebsite: http://www.rwth-aachen.de/cms/root/Forschung/Angebote-fuer-Forschende/Angebote-fuer-Studierende/UROP/~wmy/UROP-INternational/?lidx=1 UID:57143-14119727@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/57143 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Internship,Undergraduate LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
