SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CAN WE REALLY CURE CANCER?
DESCRIPTION:Despite progress in developing effective cancer therapies\, many 
patients still succumb. Breakthroughs in three areas offer new hope for more effective therapies and ultimate cure: first\, the ability to determine the genetic makeup of tumors and develop tailored treatments\; second\, highlighting the importance of targeting “stem-like” cells resistant to many therapies\; finally\, breakthroughs in unleashing the body’s immune system to fight cancer.  The development of new therapies offers hope that cancer may be conquered.\n\nMax S. Wicha\, M.D. is the Madeline and Sidney Forbes Professor of Oncology and a leader in the science of cancer stem cells. He was Founding Director of U. of M.’s Comprehensive Cancer Center\, a position he held for 27 years. Dr. Wicha co-founded OncoMed\, a company that develops drugs to target cancer stem cells. He was recently appointed to the National Cancer Advisory Board\, which advises the President on 
cancer research and treatment.\n\nThis is the third in a six-lecture series. The subject is Biomedical Breakthroughs: The Future is Here. The next lecture will be March 17\, entitled THE BIONIC EYE AND NEW TREATMENTS FOR BLINDNESS FROM RETINAL DISEASE

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Satsuki Takahashi\, Toyota Visiting Professor\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the University of Michigan\; Assistant Professor of Sociology and Anthropology\, George Mason University\n\nSince the 2011 Fukushima nuclear meltdown\, the future of the sea is precarious. Radioactive wastewater continues to be poured into the ocean\, while consumers continue to fear the possibility that their seafood is contaminated. Nevertheless\, the post-disaster sea is filled with hopeful narratives about a bright future. Even as they acknowledge the ruins of today\, these narratives gaze at the future\, by talking about hope\, ranging from the recovery of fish population\, to the improvement of marine conservation\, and to the development of floating offshore wind farms. But given the heightened precarity\, how do people actually imagine the future in the ruined seascape? How does the future that is imagined in the present link to the past? While these questions in the background\, the presentation will build from my ethnographic and historical research on fishing communities in and near Fukushima\, and discuss how Japanese modernization efforts have repeatedly ruined the seascape and yet simultaneously regenerated hope for the future.\n\nDr. Satsuki Takahashi is an assistant professor of anthropology at George Mason University\, and currently Toyota Visiting Professor with the Center for Japanese Studies at the University of Michigan (2015-2016). Her research interests are in environmental anthropology\, eco-development\, and ocean-human relations in Japan and around the world. She is a co-editor of the Japanese-English bilingual anthology: To See Once More the Stars: Living in a Post-Fukushima World (2014\, New Pacific Press).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Institute Fellow Talk: \"Swerving from the Sacred: Disenchanted Jews in the Vernon Manuscript\"
DESCRIPTION:“Swerving from the Sacred” queries the survival of three of the four surviving Marian lyrics in the fifteenth-century Vernon Manuscript (Eng. poet a. 1): “Child Slain by Jews\,” “Jewish Boy\,” and “Merchant’s Surety.” These three narratives perform a usefulness in two otherwise unrelated—if not downright antagonistic—cultural economies. In the medieval culture in which these narratives were born\, the sacred Marian narratives frame Jews as secularized outsiders\, concerned with material objects rather than perpetual sanctity. In the Early Modern culture in which they were preserved\, these three Marian legends immortalize antisemitism as the perfect refrain in sacred Christian temporality and\, perhaps more importantly\, as essential narratives in the growth of a nation.\n\nDr. Miriamne Ara Krummel is an Associate Professor of English at the University of Dayton and is currently serving as a Frankel Fellow at the Frankel Institute of Advanced Judaic Studies during the 2015-2016 academic year. Her first monograph\, Crafting Jewishness in Medieval England: Legally Absent\, Virtually\, was published in 2011 by Palgrave Macmillan in the New Middle Ages Series. Krummel is currently co-editing a book with Tison Pugh\, Jews in Medieval England: Teaching Representations of the ‘Other.’ The paper you will hear today\, “Swerving from the Sacred: Disenchanted Jews in the Vernon Manuscript\,” represents her current thinking about images of the Jewish figure in\, mostly\, late medieval English manuscripts. “Swerving from the Sacred” is part of a chapter in Krummel’s second monograph\, currently going under the title\, Sacred Matters: The Medieval Postcolonial Jew\, In and Out of Time. An author of creative and critical nonfiction\, Krummel’s scholarship has appeared in edited volumes and such journals as Exemplaria\, Shofar\, Postmedieval\, and Texas Studies in Literature and Language.\n\nSponsored by: Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies\n\nPhoto by permission of the Master and Fellows of St. John's College\, Cambridge
