SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Depression on College Campuses Conference - Closing Keynote Speech
DESCRIPTION:Robert Morris\, PhD\, Founder of “Koko\,” a social network for mental health and well-being will give the closing keynote speech at the 14th annual Depression on College Campuses conference. More than 30 million adults in the United States suffer from depression. Many more meet the diagnostic criteria for an anxiety disorder. Psychotherapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy can be extremely effective\, but the demand for these treatments exceeds the resources available. What if we could crowdsource this problem? In this talk\, Dr. Robert Morris will introduce Koko — a social network for mental health and well-being. He will describe the design\, deployment\, and evaluation of this platform and trace its evolution from an MIT side project to a mobile app now serving 145 countries around the world. He will also showcase some of the unanticipated benefits of the app\, including new findings which suggest that helping others on the platform conveys the most benefits.\n\nThis closing keynote presentation is part of the University of Michigan Depression on College Campuses\, and is open to the public.

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:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Speaker Series with Dr. Ashley Shade\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics\, Michigan State University
DESCRIPTION:The overwhelming majority of biodiversity harbored within microbial communities is represented among their large proportion of rare taxa. We know almost nothing about these microorganisms aside from a small sequence from their ribosomal RNA genes. However\, there is accumulating evidence that rare taxa sometimes contribute to community stability by rapidly responding to environmental changes. Given the ongoing stressors of global changes on our planet\, there is a critical need to determine the specific roles that rare taxa play for community stability. Here\, we aim to extend knowledge of what often is investigated as a static property (rarity and prevalence) towards its true dynamic nature. We discuss a statistical method for uncovering dynamics of persistent\, rare taxa that occasionally become more prominent in their communities (\"conditionally rare\"). Using this method\, we quantified conditionally rare taxa in time series from a variety of ecosystems. We discovered that conditionally rare taxa were present in all habitats\, and that they disproportionately contributed to temporal changes in diversity when they were most abundant. We offer a case study in deciphering the ecology of conditionally rare taxa\, informed by time series observations before\, during and after an ecosystem manipulation. Our results suggest that persistent but rare microbial taxa contribute to high within-sample (alpha) diversity\, and help to maintain community stability after disturbance.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"Landscape and Longing: On the Perils of Gazing from a Height in Traditional China\"
DESCRIPTION:A familiar trope in the Chinese literary tradition is that of climbing to a height\, gazing out\, and experiencing an outpouring of sadness\, longing\, and nostalgia. The earliest traces of this trope can be found in the Songs of Chu\, a poetry anthology dating from the 3rd century BC\, and it would remain a recurring theme in poetic writings thereafter. This theme of “gazing from a height” has been explained both psychologically and as a symptom of the particularities of the traditional Chinese textual imagination. But it also bears examination as an aspect of the complex unfolding of other histories–those of visual perception\, emotions\, cognition\, and power. In her talk Professor Virág will discuss how these histories were interwoven\, drawing some conclusions about what the emotions bound up with seeing–and with failing to see–might reveal about the contentious domain of visual authority in traditional China.\n\nCurie Virág is an assistant professor in the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Toronto. An intellectual historian of premodern China\, she focuses on the history of ethics\, moral psychology\, and epistemology in the Warring States (4th-3rd centuries BCE) and Tang-Song (7th-12th centuries CE) periods. Professor Virág's current book projects cover the evolution of thinking about emotions in premodern China from roughly 400 BCE to 1200 CE. \"The Emotions in Early Chinese Philosophy\,\" which deals with the early phase of this history\, will be completed at the end of 2015. The sequel to this study\, covering the period of early empire to 1200\, is in preparation. In her work on emotions\, and in more recent investigations–which focus on conceptions of the self and the human\, models of cognition\, and the theory and practice of landscapes–she has been exploring how past ways of thinking about human attributes\, faculties\, and capacities are interwoven with ideas about the workings of the physical world. \n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Special Lecture - Maxim Romanov\, University of Leipzig
DESCRIPTION:With at least 25\,000 unique titles identifiable for the period before 1500 CE\, the Arabic written tradition is one of the greatest treasuries of knowledge in human history. Covering practically every aspect of Islamic culture\, this tradition is particularly rich in extensive historical sources such as chronicles and biographical collections. Most specimens of these two forms\, which often smoothly crossover into each other\, are multivolume titles that aggregate and copiously reuse earlier sources\, and\, in their turn\, get reused in later sources. Perhaps the largest specimen of these two genres is a 50-volume title\, “The History of Islam” (Taʾrīḫ al-islām)\, which was written by the famous Damascene religious scholar\, chronicler and biographer Šams al-dīn al-Ḏahabī (d. 748/1347 CE). Dubbed “one of the most ambitious histories of the entire world of Islam\,” this library of a book (~3\,4 mln. words) covers 700 years of Islamic history through over 30\,000 biographical records. Although nobody has ever doubted that this “History” is a compilation of earlier sources\, we have no understanding of the composition of this text: What earlier sources did al-Ḏahabī use? How and to what extent did he use his sources? Did he paraphrase\, summarize\, or quote his sources? How is his “History” related to his other writings? What kind of understanding did al-Ḏahabī have of the historical information that he collected? How does al-Ḏahabī’s work fit into the Arabic historiographical tradition? Was indeed a great historian who had written the most ambitious historical text or was he just an obsessive compiler?\n\nNone of these questions can be answered convincingly with traditional methods of historical inquiry. A computational approach of tracing text reuse in large corpora that fuels Viral Texts Project (http://viraltexts.org/ @ Northeasern University) offers a new perspective that will revolutionize the way how the scholars view not only the Arabic historiography\, but the entire Arabic written tradition. Using this approach that combines computational algorithms for tracing similarities among texts with the use of high-power computing\, the presentation will address three large sets of questions: 1) about the Arabic written tradition and the place of al-Ḏahabī’s “History” in it\; 2) his method of writing/compilation\; and 3) his work as a historian.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:20th Annual CLIFF Conference
DESCRIPTION:Over the past twenty years\, the rise of food studies has brought the culinary to the attention of academics\, particularly among social scientists and in departments of cultural studies. This brings new valence to widely circulated notions of cultural and material consumption and their affective dimensions (e.g. desires\, appetites). Building on foundational work by scholars including Pierre Bourdieu\, Claude Lévi-Strauss\, and Roland Barthes\, researchers have added food to the ever-growing list of cultural products deserving of inquiry. This relatively new concern with food opens up the possibility of thinking consumption and appetites in broader terms. How do we consume bodies\, images\, and cultures? How can the humanities engage with food studies? Is it possible to think the consumption of food alongside other forms of consumption? This conference\, aimed at graduate students in all disciplines across the humanities\, social sciences\, and sciences\, is concerned with appetite and consumption in all their varied aspects.\n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Rey Chow\, the Ann Firor Scott Professor of Literature at Duke University. Situated at the intersection of critical theory\, cultural studies\, literary studies\, film and media studies\, and postcolonial studies\, many of Chow’s recent publications directly address the connections between the culinary and the cultural\, with food becoming a window into the depths of the ordinary. Chow’s work also focuses on issues of cultural translation as tied to commodification. This nexus is central to discourses of consumption (culinary and otherwise)\, while at the same time bringing visual culture\, cinema\, literature\, and new media into the conversation.\n\nThursday\, March 10 \n\nKeynote Lecture by Rey Chow\, Duke University\n“A Tale of Deliveries”  \n5:00 PM – 7:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nReception \n7:00 PM – 9:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\n\nFriday\, March 11 \n\nEdible and Eating Bodies \n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nCatherine Ellis\, University of Durham - ‘Sera-ce le contre-poison de la fatale Justine?’: Textual Antidotes\, Edible Prostitutes\, and Cannibal Monks in Rétif de la Bretonne’s l’Anti-Justine (1798)\n\nLisa Haushofer\, Harvard University – Appetite Historicized: The Eating Body and Nineteenth-Century Physiology of Digestion\n\nHelen Yilun Huang\, University of Oregon – Visual Sensations: From Josephine Baker’s Banana Skirt to Miss Chiquita’s Fruit Hat\n\nModerator: Mariane Stanev\n\nCLIFF@20 Lunchtime Roundtable \n12:15 PM – 1:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nJeffrey Middents\, American University - CLIFF 1996 \nMonika Cassel\, New Mexico School for the Arts - CLIFF 1996 \nCorine Tachtiris\, Earlham College - CLIFF 2006 & 2007 \nGenevieve Creedon\, Princeton University - CLIFF 2010 & 2011\nModerator: Mélissa Gélinas\, CLIFF 2016 \n\nFood in America \n1:45 PM – 3:45 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nNicole Rudisill\, University of Wisconsin – A Full Stomach: Life Behind the Façade of Fondant and Festivities\n\nBriel Kobak\, University of Chicago – Straight Whiskey and the Producer/Consumer It Protects\n\nNicolyn Woodcock\, Miami University – Remembering the “Forgotten War”: Transnational Entanglements and Foodie Trends in Eating Military Base Stew\n\nModerator: Xiaoxi Zhang \n\nFood as Data \n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM \nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nLelian Maldonado\, University of California\, Riverside – Artifact Acquisition\, Public Consumption\, and the Contemporary Destruction of Ancient Sites\n\nMarina Merlo\, University of Montreal – Food\, Porn\, and Selfies: Photographic Cultures of Consumption\n\nBrad Bolman\, Harvard University – Tasting/Testing Hogs: Cooking and Consumption as Science\n\nModerator: Vedran Catovic\n\n\nSaturday\, March 12 \n\nMaking the Nation \n10:30 AM – 12:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nDenise Castillo\, University of Wisconsin – Chiles en nogada: The Creation of National Identity\n\nDiksha Dhar\, Fulbright Visiting Scholar\, University of Pennsylvania – Is It Actually about Beef?
