SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catie Newell: Overnight
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based architect Catie Newell’s work is focused on the tactile\, sensory qualities of the materials we use to build things: their texture\, density\, or malleability. Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Manuel Álvarez Bravo: Mexico’s Poet of Light
DESCRIPTION:Manuel Álvarez Bravo spent nearly his entire career photographing his native Mexico. His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink
DESCRIPTION:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink celebrates gifts to the museum from two accomplished scholars with eclectic interests\, a keen appreciation of form\, and a love of learning from objects. Nesta Spink\, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979\, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. This selection of their gifts\, exhibited together for the first time\, provides insight into the minds of two connoisseurs with tastes that range far beyond their areas of specialization\; highlights include exquisite Whistler prints that are rarely on display and a rich representation of South Asian folk art. The Connoisseurs’ Legacy also honors the Spinks’ long relationship with the museum\, their roles as teachers of future scholars and curators\, and their commitment to public education.

SUMMARY:Meeting:CMENAS Colloquium Series. Halal Metropolis: New Strategies for Urban Renewal in Detroit
DESCRIPTION:Urban spaces are sites of contest between strangers\, especially those who encounter each other across lines of difference defined by religious identity and migration. In Detroit today\, the fastest growing populations of immigrants are Muslim (African\, Arab\, Eastern European\, and South Asian). They are filling in and reshaping the city itself\, most notably in neighborhoods adjoining Dearborn\, Hamtramck\, and Highland Park\, where ethnic and halal marketplaces are springing up around mosques\, revitalizing local housing markets\, and transforming the educational landscape. Similar developments are visible in the outer suburbs as well\, where newer migrants from Yemen\, Syria\, and Iraq encounter older Arab and Muslim migrations. These encounters can be portrayed as a source of social creativity and political dynamism\, or alternatively as generators of new ethnoracial\, class\, and religious tensions. This talk will mine my ongoing research for insights about how local Muslim and other understandings of space intersect and transform one another. \n    \nSally Howell is director of the Center for Arab American Studies and associate professor of history at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. Her recent books include Arab Detroit 9/11: Life in the Terror Decade (2011\, Wayne State University Press)\, and Old Islam in Detroit: Rediscovering the Muslim American Past (2014\, Oxford University Press). Howell is also active in public cultural work that explores the intersection of Arab and Muslim diasporas in Detroit via documentary video\, cultural and historical exhibitions\, art installations\, and community-based research. She is curator of the Building Islam in Detroit website.\n\n** For CMENAS students only **\n1:30-2 pm — CMENAS students workshop/discussion with the lecturer/professor.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Special Lecture | How to Achieve Gender Equity in Japan?: Trends and the Latest Policy Initiatives
DESCRIPTION:The demand for further expansion of women’s participation in the workforce has become an increasingly pressing issue in 21st century Japan due to the country’s shrinking labor force and economy. How will gender relations and family behavior be affected by the expected increase in female labor force participation? How can policies effectively support these changes and help structuring Japan’s new social model? Dr. Fukuda will address the issue of gender gaps in economic opportunities and the latest policy initiatives on gender and family formation in Japan. He will also discuss how gender equity can be achieved in Japan’s gender revolution. \n    \nSetsuya FUKUDA is a social demographer and full-time researcher at the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research where he conducts demographic research on the inter-relationships between gender\, family formation and family policy. He received his B.A.\, M.A. and Ph.D. in economics from Meiji University. After graduate study\, he worked as a researcher at Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock\, Germany (2008-2011). From 2011-13\, he worked in the government as an expert in the Ministry of Health\, Labor\, and Welfare\, analyzing governmental statistics. In 2014-15\, he received an Abe fellowship\, and conducted a US-Japan comparative study on educational differentials in marriage at the Center for Demography and Ecology\, University of Wisconsin-Madison. His current research focuses on gender role division\, couples’ well-being and fertility in international comparative settings\, looking\, in particular\, at how Japan’s gender structure is going to change in relation to population decline and new family policies developed in “Abenomics”. \n    \nDr. Fukuda is travelling the US as a member of the New Voices from Japan (NVJ) program\, which is administered by the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) with funding from the Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn a field experiment\, I randomly assign college students to a low-cost behavioral intervention where they receive advice and prompts to make plans to study for an exam. Using detailed network data and exogenous variation in the exposure to the intervention\, I causally estimate spillover effects on academic outcomes that are transmitted through study partners. I find positive spillover effects on untreated students' usage of an online learning applet. The average spillover effect on untreated is about 30% of the direct treatment effect. I use tie strength and network position to argue that a contagious use of the applet is a more plausible mechanism than information sharing. However\, I find negative spillover effects on treated students' applet usage. Possible explanations can be preferences for information scarcity and coordination costs between treated students as they have already created plans. Despite finding spillover effects on study behaviors\, I do not find spillover effects on performance outcomes measured by exam scores and course grades. This evidence highlights that spillover effects in naturally formed peer groups can interact with the intervention. Policy makers need to carefully engineer intervention targeting.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics
DESCRIPTION:Topological Recursion Relations (TRRs) are very special relations in the cohomology ring of the moduli space of stable curves. So far most results on TRRs have been restricted to low genus. I will explain how the double ramification relations of Pixton can be used to construct TRRs in any genus.\n\nThis work is based on joint (partially ongoing) works with (various subsets of) E. Clader\, S. Grushevsky\, X. Liu\, X. Wang and D. Zhakarov. Speaker(s): Felix Janda (Michigan)
