SUMMARY:Performance:Dance Master Class Repertory Series: Malcolm Tulip
DESCRIPTION:Taught by SMTD theatre faculty member Malcolm Tulip. “In this workshop we will examine some of the core exercises in the Lecoq pedagogy and look at how we can use a physical vocabulary and ‘play’ to create character\, image\, or situation. We will find out what it means to be ‘disponible’ (French for ‘ready for anything’). We will also look at the connection between structure and spontaneity.”\n\nEach Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities. Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class.\n\nIn the final 15 minutes\, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist\, discussing their career\; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional\, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Future Leaders in Human Rights Lecture: Growing Pains: Why and How the UN Human Rights Mechanisms Need to Evolve over the Next Ten Years
DESCRIPTION:The UN Human Rights Council turns ten this year. In New York on 28 October\, some of the most powerful countries in the world - both human rights allies and aggressors - will be elected to membership. In this context\, how can we hope to advance accountability - in Syria or Cambodia or Guantanamo\, for disappearances of human rights defenders and for violence against LGBT individuals and communities? Without political support for using both carrots and sticks\, how can we hope for intergovernmental processes like the UPR\, or the recommendations of UN experts\, to be implemented on the ground?\n\nFrom the perspective of an advocacy NGO\, there is a real danger in ending the first decade of the Human Rights Council without reflection. Current trends of political inertia and challenges to universality threaten the interdependence of both international human rights in principle\, and the Council and other UN human rights mechanisms in practice. And yet\, at the same time\, progressive governments\, activists and NGOs see great value in the results of the system\; building broad\, public confidence in those tools is essential. We will discuss a few cases\, both far from home and in Ann Arbor's own backyard\; I challenge you to find at least one thing about the UN\, whatever your interest\, that makes fighting for a better system worth it.\n\nFinally\, as an international community\, how do we get there? Thankfully\, there are some straightforward solutions that don't require rewriting history or international law\; just persistence and political will. We'll conclude with some recommendations for reform and sharing what we have done\, or think we can do\, to make the voices of human rights defenders\, communities\, and victims more present and more protected in the UN system.\n    \nSarah Brooks is an advocate and programme manager at the International Service for Human Rights (ISHR)\, based in Geneva. She leads ISHR's work in Asia\, particularly in States with restrictive operating environments\, and contributes to our strategic engagement with business. Sarah previously worked with the US State Department\, where she focused on labor rights and supply chains in Asia. She has conducted field research in China and worked for the ILO in Bangkok. Sarah holds a Bachelor of Arts from Vanderbilt University and a Master of Arts/Master of Public Policy from University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jane Cleo Marshall Lucas Lecture Honoring African-American Women Leaders in the Law
DESCRIPTION:Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals will lecture on the contribution of African-American women to America's understanding of Justice. Judge Blackburne-Rigsby chairs the District of Columbia Courts’ Standing Committee on Fairness and Access\, serves as Co-Chair of the District of Columbia's Access to Justice Commission\, and is a former President the National Association of Women Judges (NAWJ). \n\nJane Cleo Marshall Lucas\, the first female African-American graduate of the Law School\, was born in Benton Harbor\, Michigan in 1920. She received a scholarship to Howard University and was part of the class entering in 1937. She graduated from Howard University in 1941. She received her M.A. in political science from the University of Michigan Rackham School of Graduate Studies in 1942 and in the fall of 1942 began at the University of Michigan Law School. She graduated from the Law School in 1944 and passed the Michigan bar examination. After graduation\, her first job was in the law office of Arthur Davis Shores\, the only Black lawyer in Alabama. Because of the hurdles placed in her way\, she was not able to sit for the Alabama bar examination before she married and moved to Fairmont Height\, Maryland. In 1946\, she became the first African-American woman to pass the Maryland bar and was invited to join the Howard University law faculty becoming the first woman to teach full-time on the law faculty. She resigned from the faculty in 1950 and moved with her husband to Staten Island\, New York. She later worked for the Women's Division of the Labor Department\, the Civil Rights Commission\, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in Washington\, D.C. (Description from Rebels in Law: Voices in History of Black Women Lawyers).\n\nThis event is sponsored by The American Constitution Society and is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Kuniko Nielsen will discuss \"Modeling Voice Onset Time in English: Factors and their cross-speaker variability.\"\n\nAbstract:\nVoice Onset Time (VOT) is an important characteristic of stop consonants that plays a large role in perceptual discrimination in many languages\, and is widely used in phonetic research. However\, it has not been modeled in a phonetically comprehensive manner. The current study aims to present an analysis of VOT in English in terms of a model of phonetic knowledge. Previous research has shown that VOT in English voiceless stops is sensitive to factors such as the height\, tenseness\, and duration of the following vowel\, place of articulation\, the voicing of coda consonants\, and speaking rate. We analyzed 120 /p/- and /k/-initial words produced by 123 Canadian English speakers. VOTs of the initial stops were measured semi-automatically and all other segment durations were measured using forced alignment. The results of a mixed- effects regression support earlier findings that VOT is longer in /k/\, directly related to following vowel duration\, inversely related to speech rate\, longer before tense vowels\, and shorter before voiceless codas. Additionally\, we find that VOT is shorter when the following syllable starts with a voiceless obstruent (the effect is greater for plosives than fricatives)\, and that the most relevant measure of vowel duration includes the duration of postvocalic liquids\, even those that are typically analyzed as onsets. The effect of speech rate was shown to vary across speakers\, while the effects of voiceless coda and following voiceless onset were relatively consistent across speakers.
