The materials collected in this exhibit\, all held in the Special Collections Research Center\, showcase not only the variety\, beauty\, and originality of turn-of-the-century print-making\, but also new ideas about what a magazine can do: namely\, create distinctive communities around avant-garde ideas outside of mainstream channels. The communities imagined in these magazines are sometimes explicitly political or aesthetic\, but more often both combine in writers’ and artists’ resistance to mass-market\, industrial\, bourgeois\, and nationalist print cultures.\n\nThe magazines in this exhibit are mostly American and British\, but many are distinctively cosmopolitan\, crossing borders to engage with international movements like socialism\, decadence\, and modernism in their attempts to create an audience united by aesthetic and political ideals rather than nationality. Although the little magazines’ resistance to mainstream journalism shortened their lifespan and restricted their circulation\, their experimental approach has had a lasting impact on our sense of magazines as flexible aesthetic and social media.

First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

The Dynamic Football laminated paper works explore compositions of action\, allowing the artist to exploit the properties of the medium. The pieces are constructed by gluing many layers of paper over wire armatures. When dry\, the sculptures are painted in an often splashy\, sketchy style. Wirtz’ silly animal works are what the artist is best known for\, and they take shape in his Goetzville\, Michigan studio.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2\n1500 E.

She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994\, and for the next 22 years\, New York became her home. In 2016\, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries\, whether tangible or not. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1\n1500 E.

Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/ UID:63992-16059350@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Africa,Archaeology,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190808T162032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190920T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190920T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

Refreshments will be served. \n\nCindy Sowers received her B.A. from Oakland University\, her M.A. from University of Michigan in Comparative Literature\, and her Ph.D. also from the University of Michigan in Comparative Literature. During her Masters program in 1973\, she started teaching at the Residential College in the First Year Seminar and French programs. Her dissertation\, The Shared Structure of Craft and Song: A Study of Homer’s Narrative Art\, revealed passions for narrative and visual analysis comparatively understood that would characterize her teaching thereafter. She participated in an interdisciplinary group composed of Residential College humanities and fine arts faculty who together constructed the Arts and Ideas in the Humanities concentration. Cindy's recent course offerings have included critical approaches to the literature and visual arts of classic modernism\, postmodernism\, Shakespeare and Rome\, the heritage of Greece\, the psychoanalytic interpretation of the arts\, and many others. She combines analyses of literary texts\, visual arts\, and philosophy to hone in on the animating spirit of a cultural moment and space. She has presented at the Royal Shakespeare Company's 2006 U-M residency\, as part of the RC Faculty Colloquium\, for the LSA Comparative Literature and the Colloquium on Critical Theory sponsored by the LSA Department of English Language and Literature\, and at the Residential College's 50th Anniversary celebration. She has received the Ford Foundation Fellowship\, the Rackham Prize twice\, the U-M Excellence in Teaching Award\, the Matthews Underclass Teaching Award\, and is a member of the Medieval Academy of America. Cindy retires from her position as a Senior Lecturer and Lecturer IV\, having served in the Residential College for 46 years. She has an active art practice\, and her work will be displayed in the RC Art Gallery in a fall 2019 exhibition. She also maintains a personal website\, cynthiasowers.rc.lsa.umich.edu\, where she publishes essays\, poetry\, and visual artwork.

Using woodcut\, painting on canvas\, and mixed media\, Linda Hyong\, Sung Eun Hong\, and Seong Ok Lee explore the world of flowers\, gardens\, and nature in vivid works that slow time to a fleeting present moment.\n\nLinda Hyong is a University of Michigan alumna and former teaching assistant in the U-M Stamps School of Art & Design. She draws her inspiration from Claude Monet’s water lily garden in France to create her own modern interpretation of impressionism. Seong Ok Lee is inspired by flowers\, which she believes are the most beautiful forms in nature. In her dream-like\, nearly abstract paintings\, Sung Eun Hong communicates her vision of what she calls “pure dreams and fantasy.”\n\nExhibit runs September 14 through November 15\, 2019 at the\n\nUniversity of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens\, 1800 N.

During a 23-year career with the Clements\, Brian Dunnigan has served as curator of maps\, head of research and publications\, associate director\, and acting director. Daily contact with the collections has inspired reflections on some of the things that the Clements does very well\, driving his exhibit themes around active collecting\, conservation\, solving mysteries\, and more. \n\nDunnigan’s selections include poignant manuscripts\, striking visual imagery and cartography\, and some of his favorite materials from the collections\, drawing especially from his expertise in the mapping of the Great Lakes. This valedictory exhibit in the Clements’s soaring Avenir Foundation Reading Room dwells on seven areas of commitment and illustrates the concepts with some of the Library's most evocative and handsome holdings.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884066@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Stamps School of Art & Design will host the New Media Caucus 2019 Symposium and Exhibition\, Border Control.  Symposium and exhibition events will take place in Ann Arbor at the Stamps School of Art and Design (2000 Bonisteel Blvd.) and Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.).\n\nExhibition Dates: September 20 - November 10\, 2019\nSymposium Dates: September 19 - 22\, 2019\nGuest Curator: Allison Collins\, Media Arts Curator\, Western Front\n\nCurated by Allison Collins in collaboration with Carrie Edinger and Srimoyee Mitra.\nIn partnership with the New Media Caucus \n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\n \n\n  UID:63627-15820738@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Media LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190718T181548 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190920T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190920T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ceal Floyer: Things DESCRIPTION:Visitors entering Floyer’s installation Things (2009) in the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery encounter a collection of identical plinths that would ordinarily be used to display art objects in the Museum\, but these platforms are empty. In place of visible objects\, each plinth is equipped with a speaker from which we hear the word “thing” sung—edited out of and isolated from a range of pop songs. The result is an amusing and thoughtful exploration of language\, meaning\, and the conventions of museum presentation and spectatorship.\n \nThe installation\, like much of Berlin-based artist Ceal Floyer’s art\, is characteristically austere\, but its visual simplicity masks a more complicated message—often a wry cerebral twist the artist creates through language-based symbols and aesthetic devices. Floyer’s work is rooted in conceptual art\, in which the idea\, delivered through words or acts that undercut or supersede formal qualities\, is the essence of the artwork.\n\nLead support  for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan College of Engineering and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Penny W.

Beyond the East-West Encounter: Inter-Asian Intimacies and Estrangements in Colonial and Postcolonial Burma\, 1850–1950 DESCRIPTION:Sexual\, conjugal\, and household relations between white colonial masters and native women have long served as the paradigm of the colonial encounter. The talk offers a different and as yet untold story of colonial interaction: inter-Asian intimacies. Under British (1826–1942\; 1945–47) and Japanese (1942–45) colonial rule\, Burma\, as with much of Southeast Asia\, was a destination for millions of Indian\, Chinese\, and Japanese merchants\, laborers\, soldiers\, and civil servants. These overwhelmingly male Asian subjects and brokers of empire forged intimate ties with local women as sexual\, emotional\, domestic\, and business partners—one role often bleeding into another—within and outside the institution of marriage. These intimacies became\, over the course of the twentieth century\, flashpoints for far-reaching legislative reforms\, communal riots\, and anti-colonial\, Buddhist\, feminist\, and nationalist movements. Based on imperial archival\, vernacular\, and oral sources in Burmese\, Japanese\, Chinese\, and English that have never been brought together\, the talk explores shifts and continuities in perceptions\, practices\, and experiences of inter-Asian intimacy in colonial Burma\, resisting both the stigmatization and the romanticization of inter-Asian intimacies as either treacherous liaisons or heroic acts of radical love. It shows how inter-Asian intimacies constituted the primary\, and hitherto unrecognized\, site for articulating and adjudicating modern understandings of race\, religion\, and nation that continue to vex Burma and other parts of Southeast Asia today. The talk concludes with a reflection on the significance of these prevalent yet neglected intimacies for new approaches to the study of modern colonialisms and their legacies.

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle:\nTeaching HFE To BME Undergraduate and Graduate Students: Lessons & Tips\n\nAbstract: \nDr. Gosbee will present some short examples of how he teaches the basics of human factors engineering (HFE) to the biomedical engineering (BME) learners. For instance\, one interactive group exercise is applying the Stroop Effect to design of labeling for medical gas cylinders. He will show how usability testing and HFE aspects of risk management fit into BME senior and graduate design courses (as co-instructor). The focus is on methods and structure required by FDA and international standards (e.g.\, IEC 62366). Additionally\, a short overview of how he also injects some HFE into other BME courses like “Needs Finding” (BME 499\, Dr. Rachael Schmedlen\, lead) and Regulatory science (BME 588\, Dr Joan Greve\, lead) will be presented.\n\nBio: \nJohn Gosbee\, MD\, MS teaches human factors engineering (HFE) and patient safety at the University of Michigan Departments of Internal Medicine and Biomedical Engineering. He leads development of patient safety curriculum for several medical and surgical residencies. He teaches HFE for several BME design courses\, including capstone design courses\, observation course\, and regulatory science.

That is\, people are harassed\, excluded\, and discriminated against for a variety of social identities (e.g.\, class\, sexuality\, gender\, age\, race\, size) which intersect and interrelate. In social and organizational psychology\, efforts to understand and end workplace discrimination thus far have tended to focus on single dimensions of marginalization or privilege (e.g.\, gender)\, giving us an incomplete picture of how discrimination is enacted and experienced. In this talk\, I will discuss research from the PWR (Power\, Women\, and Relationships) Lab that has used intersectionality theory and the stereotype content model to understand how discrimination manifests for employees based on their combined racial and gender identities. First\, I will discuss published quantitative research with students Jessica Saunders and Ryan Jacobson on how STEM professors evaluate post-doc candidates based on the candidates’ race and gender\, together. Next\, I will discuss published and unpublished qualitative research with student Anna Kallschmidt on identity management and belonging among White men employees from working class and impoverished backgrounds. Finally\, I will discuss work student Sarah Robinson and I are pursuing on how the use of certain dialectical styles (White American\, urban African American\, and Southern American) effects ratings of men employees in individual-structured telephone interviews. Implications of intersectional approaches for fair and just hiring practices and for diversity trainings and interventions will be discussed.

A medical conception of toxicity looks at the toxin\, the dose\, frequency\, route of delivery\, susceptibility of the individual or population\, and more. All these factors can be fruitfully explored in connection to understanding the mechanisms by which speech acts and discursive practices can inflict harm\, making sense of claims about harms arising from speech devoid of slurs\, epithets\, or a narrower class I call ‘deeply derogatory terms.’ By highlighting the role of uptake and susceptibility\, and this model suggests a framework for thinking about damage variation. Toxic effects vary depending on one’s epistemic position\, access\, and authority. An inferentialist account of discursive practice plus a dynamic view of the power of language games offers tools to analyze the toxic power of speech acts. Even a simple account of language games has the potential to track changes in our discursive practices. Identifying patterns contributes to an epidemiology of toxic speech\, which might include tracking increasing use of derogatory terms\, us/them dichotomization\, terms of isolation\, new essentialisms\, and more. Finally\, I will highlight a few ways to respond to toxic speech\, some predictable from past theories (Brandom’s challenging\, Langton’s blocking) and some perhaps more unexpected.

Although this process had a profound effect on the planet\, largely establishing the major and trace element compositions of the metallic core and silicate mantle\, the planetary differentiation process itself remains largely a mystery. Important constraints on planetary differentiation are provided by experimental investigations of metal-silicate reactions at high pressures and temperatures\, simulating the thermodynamic conditions at which much of the differentiation is thought to have occurred. These studies have shown\, for example\, that characteristic P\,T conditions for core-mantle equilibration are comparable to the liquidus at mid-mantle depths\, and that these reactions produce metal compositions that are broadly consistent with the geophysical constraints on Earth's core. The consequences of core-mantle differentiation on the planetary budgets of several trace elements will also be discussed.

Trautmann Honorary Lecture | Early Readers and Early Readings of the Mahābhārata DESCRIPTION:The Sanskrit Mahābhārata did not receive a commentary until the eleventh century. Well before then\, however\, it had become a central feature of Indian high culture\, adapted by poets and dramatists\, deliberated on by philosophers and aestheticians. Over the past century scholars have usefully examined these early treatments for what they tell us about the history of the Mahābhārata’s text. The commentaries\, some of which establish a version of the text\, have been put to similar text-historical use. \n\nIn this lecture I will argue for the value of the material that lies outside the boundaries of the epic proper\, not in writing the history of the text\, but in writing the history of that text’s meaning to its readers. An interest in the history of the reception of ancient canonical texts through their commentaries and related paratexts has gained prominence in the study of the literary traditions of other parts of the world\, because of its inherent interest and its utility for intellectual history. With some exceptions\, the Indological field has remained hesitant about reception studies\, in part because it is perceived to open the door to anachronistic readings\, thereby violating a governing disciplinary principle\, that of historicism. And yet built into this Indological stance is a contradiction\, due to the huge extra-academic importance in the present of Sanskrit texts like the Mahābhārata.\n\nIn 1942\, the founding editor of the Poona edition\, V.S. Sukthankar\, delivered a series of seminal lectures\, ‘On the Meaning of the Mahābhārata\,’ that is representative of the quandary. Sukthankar proposed a meaning for the epic working from within the text itself. He did not rely on the commentators\, epitomizers\, poets\, or literary theorists\, yet in ruling out possibilities he did use as an argument the brute fact of the importance of the Mahābhārata to the Indian people. The idea of the Mahābhārata as India’s national epic whispers through the twentieth century scholarship\, and yet its popularity in the present is neither an automatic result of its antiquity nor an accident of modernity.\n\nThe text was composed to create a remembered past. Over time its transmitters adjusted that memory and the text itself as they performed it\, codified it\, and used it as a point of departure. Survivals of this process are abundant in the Mahabharata’s poetic and dramatic recreations and occasional pieces\, and especially in its ancillary literature: its commentaries\, its versified summaries\, its indices\, and its ‘satellite texts\,’ that is\, marginal verses and other materials\, some of which crept into the body of the epic over time.\n\nIf for nothing else\, the history of the reception of the itihasa of the Bhārata clan through this material can serve as a way to confirm or disconfirm historical claims about the epic’s meaning\, either as invented or as original\, especially when the claims are presented as justiciable only by experts\, or when the claims pretend to speak for a collective indigenous understanding that is inaccessible to those not native to the culture. Special reference will be made to episodes with elephants\, either actual or imaginary\, and to the Arthaśāstra. \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.

Knoll Lecture: Adam Bernstein\, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Detection and Measurement of Highly Penetrating Radiation\n\nABSTRACT: Glenn Knoll’s seminal textbook on Radiation Detection and Measurement covers the topic with great depth\, breadth and clarity\, with an obvious and sensible focus on ionizing radiations. In this lecture I discuss a type of radiation that does not readily induce ionization\, but is nonetheless a continued source of fascination and study by physicists\, and more recently\, nuclear engineers. Neutrinos have remarkable properties of penetration\, passing through the entire Earth with a vanishingly small probability of interaction. In sufficiently large numbers\, such as are emitted by reactors\, the sun\, the Earth itself\, and supernovae\, the aggregated probability of interaction becomes appreciable. When a neutrino does interact\, it generates the familiar ionizing radiations whose detection is reviewed in Professor Knoll’s textbook. In this lecture\, I will introduce the basic properties of the neutrino\, share some of the triumphs and tribulations of the experimentalists who have sought to measure them\, and discuss relatively recent efforts at my own Laboratory\, and world-wide\, to harness these unusual\, seductively evanescent particles for the practical purpose of monitoring the operations of nuclear reactors. \n\nBIO: Dr. Adam Bernstein is a staff physicist at LLNL and a fellow of the American Physical Society. He also leads the Rare Event Detection group in the Nuclear & Chemical Sciences division at LLNL. Since receiving his PhD in physics from Columbia University in 1995\, he has worked on the development of advanced low noise\, low cost\, high-efficiency and high-resolution radiation detectors for use in fundamental and applied physics. He has pioneered and helped bring to maturity what has become a wide international effort to develop antineutrino detectors as a tool for monitoring nuclear reactors.\n\nIn the area of applied physics\, Bernstein’s main interests are in the development of improved radiation detection techniques that facilitate global nuclear arms control\, nonproliferation\, and disarmament. His fundamental physics interests are primarily in the study of rare neutral particles\, in particular the measurement of neutrino oscillations using reactor sources\, and the search for direct interactions of dark matter in Earthly detectors. \n\n\nThis annual lecture series was made possible by a generous endowment from Gladys Knoll to commemorate the over 50-year UM career in education and research of the late Professor Emeritus\, Chair and Interim Dean\, Glenn F. Knoll. These lectures in nuclear measurements\, the field pioneered by Professor Knoll\, will be an inspiration to future generations of students.

The Ukrainian Famine: What We Know Now—And Why It Matters DESCRIPTION:In 1929 Stalin launched his policy of agricultural collectivization—in effect a second Russian revolution—which forced millions of peasants off their land and onto collective farms. The result was a catastrophic famine\, the most lethal in European history. At least five million people died between 1931 and 1933 in the USSR. But instead of sending relief\, the Soviet state made use of the catastrophe to rid itself of a political problem. In her book \"Red Famine\,\" Anne Applebaum argues that more than three million of those dead were Ukrainians who perished not because they were accidental victims of a bad policy\, but because the state deliberately set out to kill them. \n \nToday\, Russia\, the successor to the Soviet Union\, has placed Ukrainian independence in its sights once more. Applebaum’s compulsively readable narrative recalls one of the worst crimes of the twentieth century\, and shows how it may foreshadow a new threat to the political order in the twenty-first. \n \nAnne Applebaum is a foreign policy columnist for the Washington Post and a prize-winning author with a particular expertise in the history of communist and post-communist Europe. She is also a senior fellow at the Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University and a professor of practice at the London School of Economics\, where she runs ARENA\, a research project on disinformation and 21st century propaganda. She is the author of several books\, including \"Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine\" and \"Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe.\" Her book \"Gulag: A History\" won the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction\, and her writing has also won the Cundill\, Nonino and Lionel Gelber prizes\, among many others. Anne is a former member of the \"Washington Post\" editorial board\, a former deputy editor of the \"Spectator\" magazine\, and a former Warsaw correspondent of \"The Economist.\" She has lectured at many universities\, including Yale\, Harvard\, Columbia\, Oxford\, Cambridge\, and Georgetown\, where she was awarded an honorary doctorate. She writes regularly for the \"New York Review of Books\,\" \"Foreign Affairs\,\" and many other publications. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to weisercenter@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Enjoy a live DJ and refreshments.\n\nHuman migration is a defining issue of the 21st century\, often calling into question the relevance\, role\, and responsibilities of national borders across the globe. As individuals seek refuge from geopolitical and environmental forces\, we become an increasingly globalized community. Demarcations of all types are simultaneously porous and closed\, defensive and receptive\, and seen in almost every facet of our existence. Border Control: Traversing Horizons in Media Practice responds to these conditions with an open-ended question\, asking: “How has humanity made sense of the world in relation to borders and boundaries\, both physically and psychologically?” While positioned within (or outside of) defined spaces and identities\, human refusal of such literal definitions is paramount. Even while lines drawn have important consequences for lived reality\, the winds\, currents\, and natural energies of the Earth deny enclosures and definitions that politics and maps might suggest.\n\nDrawn from practices that are touched or driven by new media\, Border Control: Traversing Horizons in Media Practice assembles works by artists who consider geographical contexts\, patterns of migration\, displacement\, and statelessness. Collectively\, they offer projects with subterfuge\, refusal\, and reconsideration of imposed state-sanctioned boundaries.\n\nArtists: Annabel Castro\, Mahwish Chishty\, Lyn Goeringer\, Ryan Griffis & Sarah Ross\, Kate Hollenbach\, Carrie Hott\, X.A.

Musical lives honed its skill. Adversity instilled its persistence. Moving to Austin gave it wings to fly. Understanding the virtuosity of Reckless Kelly requires the perspective of where the band has been. Cody and Willy Braun grew up in the White Cloud Mountains of Idaho. They moved to Bend\, Oregon\, and then migrated to that great musical fountainhead\, Austin\, Texas. It's natural that Reckless Kelly\, born in the dreams of the two Braun brothers and their heritage but nurtured in the bumpy road of maturity\, became the very essence of Americana music in all its far-flung glory. \"We came along in that second wave of the movement\,\" Cody Braun says. “Son Volt’s album 'Trace' had a major effect on us. People like Joe Ely\, Ray Kennedy and Robert Earl Keen were always big supporters. Our goal was to make music that had a country vibe but a solid rock edge.
