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:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Colloquium Series. Muslim Pathways: Ethics of Cohabitation\, Assembly\, and Informality
DESCRIPTION:Drawing upon field research in different Muslim cities\, Professor Haines analyzes the diverse ways modernity reshapes community\, belonging\, and cohabitation through the mapping and policing of a diversity of borders: between modernity and tradition\, centers and peripheries\, wealthy and poor\, as well as between national territories. He questions how crossing borders and disrupting normative claims to purifying the ‘in-group’ become contested aspirations and practices to forge new kinds of community\, ones often rooted in Islamic ideals and ethics. \n    \nChad Haines is a cultural anthropologist and assistant professor of Religious Studies and Global Studies at Arizona State University. He earned his PhD in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2000). Haines’ publications include Nation\, Territory\, and Globalization in Pakistan: Traversing the Margins (Routledge 2012) that analyzes the mapping of marginal spaces within the nation-making processes of Pakistan\, particularly focusing on the remote\, mountainous northern region of Gilgit-Baltistan. He is co-editor of Women and Peace in the Islamic World: Gender\, Agency\, and Influence (I.B. Taurus 2015) and the forthcoming People’s Peace: Prospects for a Human Future. He is currently completing a manuscript titled: Muslim Pathways: Negotiating Modernity\, Religion\, and Urbanity. \n\nBefore moving to ASU\, Haines taught at American University in Cairo (2004-2008) and was a Senior Fulbright Research Fellow in Pakistan (2009). He held a number of visiting and research positions at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill’s University Center for International Studies\, at Duke University’s Center for South Asian Studies\, the Center for Civilizational Dialogue in the University of Malaysia\, and the Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict at ASU.\n\n** For CMENAS students only **\n1:30-2 pm — CMENAS students workshop/discussion with the lecturer/professor.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mathematical Biology
DESCRIPTION:Phytoplankton\, and the zooplankton that graze upon them\, play a crucial role in the dynamics observed at higher levels of the aquatic ecosystem. There is a vast literature on differential equation models of plankton dynamics\, and a recent trend in ecological models has considered plasticity in parameters and adaptation. In this talk\, we interpret plasticity as prey switching\, that is\, predator’s adaptive change of diet in response to the abundance of prey. We first analyse a model constructed for one predator feeding on two different types of prey and inspired by plankton observations. This model has a discontinuity between two vector fields. We then discuss two different smooth formulations of the model and compare model predictions with data on freshwater plankton collected from Lake Constance on the German-Swiss-Austrian border. Finally\, we discuss a 1 fast-3 slow system for one predator feeding adaptively on two different prey types and inspired by the first model.\n Speaker(s): Sofia Piltz (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Humanists in the Ford School of Public Policy Writing for the Public
DESCRIPTION:A conversation with U-M Ford School of Public Policy professors Shobita Parthasarathy\, Paul Courant\, Joy Rohde\, moderated by Institute for the Humanities director Sidonie Smith\n\nAbout the participants:\n\nShobita Parthasarathy is Associate Professor of Public Policy and Women's Studies at the University of Michigan. She studies policy and politics related to science and technology\, as well as the politics of evidence and expertise in policymaking\, in the United States\, Europe\, and India. She is the author of numerous articles and a book\, Building Genetic Medicine: Breast Cancer\, Technology\, and the Comparative Politics of Health Care (MIT Press\, 2007). Findings from this book\, which compared the development of genetic testing for breast and ovarian cancer in the United States and Britain\, helped to inform the 2013 US Supreme Court case over gene patents. Her second book\, Patently Political: Life\, Markets\, and Morality in the United States and Europe\, is forthcoming with University of Chicago Press. Comparing recent controversies over life form patents in the United States and Europe\, it demonstrates how political culture\, ideology\, and history shape patent systems in fundamental ways. She is starting a new project that aims to develop a better understanding of grassroots innovation in India\, which often takes place outside the global marketplace and is low-tech and small-scale\, in the hope that it might usefully inform both our theories of innovation and our innovation and development policies. She is a Faculty Affiliate in UM's Science\, Technology\, and Society and Feminist Science Studies programs. She sits on the Council of the Society for the Social Studies of Science\, and the Governing Council of the Science and Democracy Network.\n\nPaul Courant has served as provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs\, University Librarian and Dean of Libraries\, as associate provost for Academic and Budgetary Affairs\, as chair of the Department of Economics\, and as director of the Institute of Public Policy Studies (predecessor of the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy). He served as a senior staff economist at the Council of Economic Advisers from 1979 to 1980.   Courant has authored half a dozen books\, and over seventy papers covering a broad range of topics in economics and public policy. Most recently\, his academic work has considered the economics of universities\, the economics of libraries and archives\, and the effects of new information technologies and other disruptions on scholarship\, scholarly publication\, and academic libraries. He is active in a number of national initiatives\, including the Digital Public Library of America and the Authors Alliance.\n\nJoy Rohde\, assistant professor of public policy\, is a historian who works at the intersection of U.S. intellectual and policy history\, the history of U.S. foreign relations\, and science and technology studies. She is currently working on a book project that explores how ideas about cybernetics and advances in information technology\, like research databases and statistical software\, impacted the social sciences and policy analysis in the United States since World War II. Joy's first book\, Armed with Expertise: The Militarization of American Social Research during the Cold War (Cornell University Press\, 2013)\, investigates the Cold War origins and contemporary consequences of the Pentagon&rsquo\;s social research contracting system. At Michigan\, Joy is a member of the core faculty in the Science\, Technology\, and Society Program. She also holds a courtesy appointment in the Department of History. Prior to joining the Ford School\, Joy was an assistant professor of history at Trinity University.\n\nSidonie Smith is the Mary Fair Croushore Professor of the Humanities\, and Director of the Institute for the Humanities. Her interests include autobiography studies\, feminist theories\, women’s literature\, human rights and narrative\, and the future of doctoral studies in the humanities.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:A Progressive's View of the Conservative Movement
DESCRIPTION:Political commentator E.J. Dionne views contemporary American conservatism as a betrayal of its voters and a root cause of the turbulence in the Republican party today. He argues that conservatives promise to abolish big government and restore traditional values\, yet they repeatedly disappoint. This has created an untenable situation in which groups with different ideals - libertarians\, moralists and nativists - are vying for control. We'll read and discuss his book\, Why the Right Went Wrong: Conservatism - From Goldwater to the Tea Party and Beyond. Read to pg. 27 for the first class. Instructor: Gerald Lapidus. This class for adults over 50 meets Mondays through Dec 10th. \nhttps://olli-umich.org/olli/index.php/member/ctlg/viewEventDetails/856
