SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Artist talk: Ernst Karel - Ah humanity!
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the 54th Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Ernst Karel will present his collaborative project Ah humanity! at the Work Gallery\, 306 S State St\, Ann Arbor\, from March 15 - April 1. Ah humanity! was created by Karel in conjunction with Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing- Taylor.\n\nAn installation for video and four-channel audio\, Ah humanity! reflects on the fragility and folly of humanity in the age of the Anthropocene. Taking the 3/11/11 disaster of Fukushima as its point of departure\, it evokes an apocalyptic vision of modernity\, and our predilection for historical amnesia and futuristic flights of fancy. The images were shot on a telephone through a handheld telescope\, at once close to and far from its subject\, while the audio composition combines empty excerpts from Japanese genbaku and related film soundtracks\, audio recordings from seismic laboratories\, and location sound. He will present a talk about the work at the gallery at 3pm on Thursday\, March 17th.\n\nErnst Karel makes electroacoustic music and experimental nonfiction sound works for multichannel installation and performance. His recent projects are edited/composed using unprocessed location recordings\; in performance he sometimes combines these with analog electronics to create pieces which move between the abstract and the documentary. He has done sound work on many non-fiction films including Sweetgrass\, Leviathan and The Iron Ministry. Karel is also a lecturer on Anthropology at Harvard University\, where he teaches a class in sonic ethnography.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In 1924\, The Morton Salt Company began nationwide distribution of iodine-fortified salt. Access to iodine\, a key determinant of cognitive ability\, rose sharply. We compare outcomes for cohorts exposed in utero to iodized salt with those of slightly older\, unexposed cohorts\, across states with high versus low iodine deficiency rates prior to salt fortification. Incomes for cohorts who benefited from iodized salt access went up by 3%\, with a nearly 8% increase during school-going ages. We find a small but precisely measured decline in educational attainment (-0.04 years)\, mainly due to decreased schooling in states with blue-collar jobs. Employment rose by 1%\, driven by a 2% rise at school-going ages and focused on entry into low-wage jobs. Later in life\, exposed cohorts began to shift into self-employment. These results are consistent with a model of schooling choice in which cognitive ability raises both the returns to education as well as the wage at labor force entry\, leading to a rise in income and employment but an ambiguous effect on educational attainment.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IISS Lecture. \"Epic encounters? Narrative\, Archetypes\, and Myth in Islamic Historiography.\"
DESCRIPTION:What is history? Did the early Muslim historians intend their work to be read as dry accounts of the past or were they trying to tell their audiences something more? In this talk\, D. Gershon Lewental will explain the challenges in studying early Islamic history and propose a novel interpretation: that the historical texts should be read like epic literature.\n\nD. Gershon Lewental is a cultural historian of the Middle East\, focusing on how societies use religion\, memory\, and conflict to define and maintain their identities. He has been the Schusterman visiting assistant professor in the Departments of History and International & Area Studies at the University of Oklahoma since 2012. He earned his degrees from Cornell University and Brandeis University\, writing a dissertation on the changing perceptions of the Arab-Islamic conquest of Iran that received the Foundation of Iranian Studies Best Dissertation Award and the Brandeis University Glazter Dissertation Prize. His fields of specialization include early Islamic history and historiography\, Iranian history\, the Baha?i faith\, and Israeli society.\n\nOrganized by the Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar (IISS)\, the only academic forum at the University of Michigan that engages students and faculty who are interested in the study of Islam and Muslim societies in an interdisciplinary and cross-regional conversation. Following our inception in the winter term 2010\, IISS has grown to include a large number of both student and faculty participants. They represent a wide range of departments and programs including American Culture\, Anthropology\, Architecture and Urban Planning\, Asian Languages and Cultures\, History\, Law\, Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Musicology\, Natural Resources and Environment\, Near Eastern Studies\, Political Science\, Romance Languages and Literatures\, South Asian Studies\, and Southeast Asian Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Judaic Classics Series: \"Once More\, with Feeling: Sacrificial Worship between Ancient Rabbinic Literature and Contemporary Israeli Nationalist-Religious Discourse\"
DESCRIPTION:In the Hebrew Bible  animal and vegetable sacrifices are presented as the quintessential channel of religious worship\, as was the case throughout the ancient world. The destruction of the Jerusalem temple at the end of the first century C.E. led to the effective demise of this practice\, and to the emergence of a common perception according to which sacrifices were superseded by religious practices that are taken to be more “modern” and refined\, such as prayer and study. Professor Balberg's paper seeks to challenge and refine the \"supersession\" hypothesis by examining two post-temple junctures in which biblical sacrifices are strongly endorsed but are radically reinterpreted:  early rabbinic literature (2nd-3rd centuries CE) on the one hand\, and  discourse among religious-Zionist circles in Israel in the 21st century on the other hand. The paper will argue that while early rabbis and contemporary religious leaders pursue diametrically opposed approaches to sacrifice\, they both insist on its physical concreteness and on its enduring relevance.\n\nSponsored by: Classical Studies\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, and Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies
