SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Colloquium Series.    Ambivalent Encounters: Migration\, Conversion\, and Historical Anxiety in Spain’s “Muslim City”
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the way historical entanglements across the Mediterranean shape the politics of multiculturalism in modern Europe. I argue that historical anxieties about the implications of Islam for Spain’s European belonging produce ambivalence about the growing Muslim population today. Through ethnography of Muslim and non-Muslim historical memories of al-Andalus\, I trace how both Islamophobic and Islamophilic discourses shape the possibilities and limitations of Muslim inclusion. \n    \nMikaela Rogozen-Soltar received her PhD in Sociocultural Anthropology from the University of Michigan in 2010. She is now an Assistant Professor at the University of Nevada\, where her research and teaching focus on Islam\, migration\, and historical memory in Spain. Her first book\, “Spain Unmoored: Migration\, Conversion\, and the Politics of Islam” will be published by Indiana University Press in March.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:How Chemicals Affect Our Bodies
DESCRIPTION:DuPont famously promised us \"Better Living through Chemistry\,\" and chemistry is indeed essential to our lives. Everything we hear\, see\, smell\, taste\, and touch involves chemical reactions and interactions in our bodies. We'll explore a few of these chemical reactions and their positive and negative effects on our bodies\, using case studies such as the Flint water crisis\, P.B.B.\, thalidomide and other incidents. Norm Samuelson has an M.S. in Chemistry from Wayne State University. He taught chemistry at Wayne County Community College\, where he was named Teacher of the Year in 2006. This class for adults over 50 meets Mondays through November 28th. \nhttps://olli-umich.org/olli/index.php/member/ctlg/viewEventDetails/877

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Structural Equation Modeling
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will help participants develop skills in defining\, estimating and testing graphical and latent variable models\, and structural equation models in particular. After a general overview of concepts\, regression approaches with observed variables will be demonstrated (e.g. path analysis). This will be followed by an overview of latent variable modeling techniques (‘factor analysis’)\, including categorical latent variables (mixture models). The second part of the course will focus on SEM generally\, including model construction\, interpretation\, and issues in assessing such models. Specific time may be spent on a popular class of SEM\, latent growth curve models\, and time permitting\, an overview of extensions and related techniques will be provided.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nVoters are often observed voting “against their interests”. We argue this is because voters don’t just ask themselves “which party best represents my policy preferences?” but also ask “how is someone like me supposed to vote?” Voters don’t just consider their personal preferences. They also consider the expectations of the salient groups with which they identify. These expectations are social norms\, shared beliefs about what constitutes appropriate behavior for members of the identity group\, and individuals’ choices reflect trade-offs between personal interests and adherence to norms. We illustrate this claim with survey experiments on representative samples of the US and British populations examining the group identity component of ideological self-placement and documenting norms that discourage voting against one's group and encourage support for the policies normatively associated with one’s group. We directly measure these norms and show that they influence real-stakes voting behavior when group identity is salient.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Athens Street Artist Cacao Rocks Paints a Mural in  Downtown Ann Arbor and  Talks About Street Art
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Artemis Leontis\, Professor or Modern Greek \n\nStreet art has been booming in Athens\, Greece since 2010\, when austerity became the official economic policy of the country.  The color-filled work of Cacao Rocks fills the city\, and he has spearheaded large creative projects to fill abandoned factories and dull\, downgraded neighborhoods with color\, inviting artists from around the world to join him. Now in Ann Arbor\, come watch him paint (October 17-27) and talk to him (October 25) about his interventions and collaborations\, the street art scene in Athens\, its highs and its lows\, and the uses of street art as a powerful form of expression and communication. \n\nRaised in the port of Piraeus near Athens\, Greece\, Cacao Rocks began experimenting with graffiti while living Corfu when he was 12\, where he won a contest held by Greenpeace. A few years later\, he took a break from street art to study French Literature in the School of Philosophy at the University of Athens. Meanwhile he worked on the side to construct sculptures of polyurethane\, wool\, wood\, and found objects. In 2009 he took up video art and won the first prize in the National Film Festival Shoot It\, and was a awarded a scholarship in Focus school of art\, video\, and photography. He started painting all over the city. Besides his work on the street\, he has exhibited in galleries and museums in Mykonos and Athens\, the UK\, and Italy\, among other places. He has participated in many street art and graffiti festivals in Greece and abroad.\n\nCacao Rocks is one of three internationally known street artists visiting the University of Michigan this fall to paint new murals in downtown Ann Arbor as part of the Global Graffiti Project\, a partnership between the Institute for the Humanities\, the Modern Greek Program\, and the History of Art. The project seeks to engage the campus and greater community with international artists who offer a global perspective on street art.
