SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Getting from Raw Video Footage to Educational Website: Nagasaki Atomic History and the Present
DESCRIPTION:Nuclear weapons are an undeniable reality of our times. Nagasaki Atomic History and the Present (NAHP) is an educational website that seeks to have American students be able to imagine and realize what the effects of a nuclear weapon are/were/would be on people. NAHP is the result of over six years of small-group collaborations between students\, atomic bombing survivors\, citizens\, NGOs\, librarians\, audio-visual technicians\, professors\, and universities around the world. \n\nIn this talk\, Aleksandr Sklyar highlights the post-production work that followed the original filming of the video interviews with atomic bombing survivors in Nagasaki in summer 2010. This talk will be of interest to students and faculty conceiving public digital scholarship projects. It will give you a chance to reflect and prepare for the steps involved in preparing a final product after you have completed the collection of raw audiovisual material.\n\nAleksandr Sklyar is a Ph.D. candidate in Sociocultural Anthropology at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Alex is also one of the creators of NAHP. Alex’s doctoral work looks at family decisions following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster. He writes about food\, home\, material and social pollution\, everyday nuclear worlds\, and the permeation of the abnormal into the everyday.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2017 Ta-You Wu Lecture in Physics | Exploring the Universe with Gravitational Waves: From the Big Bang to Black Holes
DESCRIPTION:There are two forms of waves that can propagate across the universe: Electromagnetic waves and gravitational waves. Galileo initiated electromagnetic astronomy 400 years ago by pointing a telescope at the sky and discovering the moons of Jupiter. LIGO recently initiated gravitational astronomy by observing gravitational waves from colliding black holes. Dr. Thorne will describe this discovery\, the 50 year effort that led to it\, and the rich explorations that lie ahead.\n\nThe University of Michigan's Department of Physics hosts the annual Ta-You Wu Lecture\, which is one of the most prestigious lecture events in our Department. The Lectureship was endowed in 1991 through generous gifts from the University of Michigan Alumni Association in Taiwan. It is named in honor of Michigan Physics alumnus and honorary Doctor of Science\, Ta-You Wu\, one of the central figures of the 20th century in the Chinese and Taiwanese physics communities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DISC Lecture. Political Shari‘a\, Women’s Bodies and the Politics of Love in Razinat T. Mohamed’s Novel \"Habiba (Beloved).\"
DESCRIPTION:By 2002\, Islamic law–Shari‘a–had been introduced in several northern Nigerian states. This development took place in the context of democratization and opening up of the political space after a prolonged period of military dictatorship. Claiming to establish a new moral order\, these sharia-cratic states imposed new and sometimes draconian penalties against some “sexual offenses.” In the main\, these alleged offenses targeted women and other gender minorities. This state of affairs triggered strong reactions from Nigerian women and human rights activists as well as from some non-governmental organizations. Included in this momentum of activism were Nigerian women writers and more particularly Muslim women writers from states that adopted Shari‘a\, using both the Soyyaya (love story) genre in Hausa language and English novels to convey their messages of protest. The primary aim of this essay\, then\, is to explore this literary response to the moral order imposed by sharia-cracy through an examination of Razinat T. Mohamed’s novel\, \"Habiba (Beloved)\" (2013).\n\nOusseina D. Alidou is professor in the Department of African\, Middle Eastern\, and South Asian Languages and Literatures and the Graduate Program in Comparative Literature. She is a theoretical linguist whose research focuses mainly on the study of women’s orality and literacy practices in African Muslim societies\; African Muslim women’s Agency and gender justice\; African women’s literatures\; Gendered discourses of identity\; and the politics of cultural production in African Muslim societies.\n\nSponsored by the Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum (DISC) with support from the African Studies Center\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Islamic Studies Program\, and Women's Studies Department.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Macroeconomics: Consumption Commitments and the Added Worker Effect
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nMy paper explores how the presence of pre-committed consumption\, such as mortgage payments and car loans\, influences spousal labor supply\, in response to unanticipated shocks to the primary earner's income in the family. It utilizes a stylized model to demonstrate how the costly adjustment of committed consumption affects household's behaviors\, particularly the added worker effect. Then it proposes several important hypotheses regarding the implications of consumption commitments. The PSID data are used to estimate and test these hypotheses. Estimation results confirm that inflexible consumption indeed influences spousal labor responses during economic hardships. When husbands experience a negative income shock\, wives from families with more resources allocated to infrequently adjusted goods are more likely to enter the labor market\, if they were out of labor force prior to the shock. Moreover\, they provide more hours regardless of previous employment status. The overall response from spouses used to be out of labor market is more significant than that from spouses already employed before the head's income cuts. The paper also examines the implication of higher commitments on other household decisions\, such as savings and discretionary consumption.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mary Shelley and the Gothic Vision of Classical Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:‘Frankenstein’ offers a sinister vision of the familiar scholarly desire to revive the dead. This talk explores how Mary Shelley\, in her short stories as well as her novels\, used the motifs of Gothic fiction to describe a powerful\, ambivalent response to the classical past. Rather than seeing the antiquity a source of edifying examples\, Shelley saw something monstrous about the re-emergence of its heroes and ideas in the present. Her Gothic vision of the classics\, I argue\, offers a way of understanding the ancient world and its ghosts beyond the current critical paradigm of ‘reception’.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by Contexts for Classics.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:State Attorneys General and the Trump Administration: Rising Intergovernmental Conflict (and Perhaps Some Cooperation?)
DESCRIPTION:Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\, Betty Ford Classroom (1110)\n735 S. State Street\, Ann Arbor  48109-3091\n4:00pm-5:30pm \n\nFree and open to the public\n\nAbout the lecture: \nWith Republicans controlling Congress and the White House following the 2016 elections\, Democrats have turned to the states to spur challenges to President Trump’s agenda. Among the most prominent of Trump’s state-level adversaries have been state attorneys general\, who in just the first few months of 2017 have challenged federal policy from immigration to the environment. While intergovernmental conflict has continued to deepen\, AGs have also found areas of bipartisan cooperation as well. This talk will discuss the role of state AGs during the early months of the Trump Administration. In addition to providing an overview of the various tools AGs have used to gain national prominence\, Dr. Nolette will highlight several of the emerging trends in AG activity.\n \nPaul Nolette an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Marquette University. His work focus on the dynamics of contemporary American federalism as well as the interplay between politics and law. His book\, Federalism on Trial: State Attorneys General and National Policymaking in Contemporary America (University Press of Kansas\, 2015)\, examines how state litigators have used lawsuits against large corporations and the federal government to influence national policy. \n \nProfessor Nolette completed his Ph.D. in political science at Boston College prior to joining the Marquette faculty in the fall of 2011. He also received a law degree from the Georgetown University Law Center in 2004 and a Bachelor of Arts from Saint Anselm College in 2001. After law school\, Professor Nolette worked in a litigation law firm and later served as the legal counsel for the Labor and Workforce Development Committee in the Massachusetts House of Representatives.\n\nSponsored by: University of Michigan Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\nCo-Sponsor: University of Michigan Law School\n\nFor more information visit www.closup.umich.edu or call 734-647-4091.
