SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SoConDi / PhonDi
DESCRIPTION:A joint discussion with SoConDi and PhonDi with Jiseung Kim on \"Prosodic Accommodation in Seoul Korean Accentual Phrase.\"\n\nAbstract\nThe goal of this study is to examine prosodic accommodation\, specifically testing accommodation at prosodic boundaries for speakers of Seoul Korean. Sixteen native speakers of Seoul Korean participated in a sentence completion task where they were asked to complete a target sentence after reading (in the baseline condition) or listening to (in the test condition) a context sentence. In both cases\, participants completed the sentence by speaking. The auditory context sentences had artificially manipulated prosody. The manipulation lowered the f0 of the phrase-final syllables that were associated with the Accentual Phrase-final rise\, which is a characteristic intonational property of Seoul Korean. The f0 values – f0 maximum\, minimum\, mean\, and range – were extracted from the AP-final syllables of the participants’ responses\, and were compared between the baseline and test conditions. The results of the linear mixed-effects model analysis on 14 speakers showed evidence of convergence. The results suggest that effects of accommodation may be manifested in the pitch levels associated with a prosodic boundary. Further analysis is needed to separate the accommodation effects from the effect of pitch declination over the course of the experiment.

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:Biophysics Seminar: \"Electron Microsocpy Approaches to Studying Lipid-Protein Interactions\"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nMembrane proteins play crucial roles in many cellular processes such as signaling\, nutrient uptake and cell adhesion.  Although the lipid bilayer influences many aspects of membrane protein function\, our understanding of lipid–protein interactions is limited.  In the first part of my seminar\, I will describe how electron crystallography of the water channel aquaporin-0 reconstituted with lipids into two-dimensional crystals can be used to address very basic questions in membrane biology\, such as the driving forces that define lipid–protein interactions and the effects of hydrophobic mismatch.  In the second part\, I will discuss how we plan to use membrane proteins reconstituted into nanodiscs to make it possible to study lipid–protein interactions by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Linguistics Graduate Students Hayley Heaton and Mike Opper will each be giving a talk.\n\nHayley Heaton will speak on\, \"Representing American Southern Prosody in the Media.\"\n\nAbstract:\nA case study of two fictional characters in two television series investigates American Southern prosody and introduces prosodic analysis into studies of language and media. Using media to investigate prosody is new to both the fields of prosody and media studies. Media representations are built off of assumed shared knowledge between the producer and the viewer (Bubel & Spitz 2006). Thus\, the question becomes what linguistic features are indexical enough to be used to that end. Are prosodic features used by individuals to mark regional identity? If they do use prosody to index region\, what features are used? To investigate these questions\, this study examines style-shifting in pitch accent and boundary tone type and frequency as well as pitch accent and boundary tone per word measures. The characters both show evidence of prosodic style-shifting\, indicating that prosody is playing into their characterizations rather than remaining static throughout the performance. The characters vary their prosody in different ways\, one with an emphasis on pitch accents and the other on boundary tones\, indicating speaker specific prosodic strategies. Results indicate that Southern prosodic features may be utilized in media representations of dialect.\n\nMike Opper will speak on \"Understanding Phonological Contrast in Bai.\"\n\nAbstract:\nI present the context and a summary my ongoing dissertation research in this talk. My dissertation covers three topics in Bai phonology which are loosely related: the sub-syllabic affiliation of pre-nuclear glides in Bai\, ongoing vowel shifts in the southern variety\, and ongoing tone mergers in the southern variety. This talk focuses on the first topic\, addresses the second topic\, and will briefly introduce the third topic if there is time.\nThe context of previous research on Bai can be summarized as follows. Although the Bai are an ethnic minority in China and their language lacks a well established written tradition\, phonological inventories and lexical items for these varieties are fairly well documented. This is perhaps because of the unclear affiliation of Bai within the Sino-Tibetan language family. However\, despite the large body of descriptive work on these linguistic varieties\, no prior research has presented adequate phonemic analysis.\nThe fundamental difference between my analysis and prior work is simple. Pre-nuclear glides [j\, w\, ɥ] in Bai do not form sub-syllabic constituents with nuclear vowels. I show that this approach is particularly appealing due to economy in phonemic analysis\, explanatory power for predicting reduplicative and rhyming patterns\, and accountability of attested and unattested syllables. Furthermore\, discrepancies in the inventories of nuclear vowels across dialect descriptions can be understood as ongoing vowel shifts through my proposal.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Keynote Speech: Wendy Chun \"Updating to Remain the Same: Habitual New Media\"
DESCRIPTION:Theorist Wendy Chun\, whose work melds systems design engineering and English literature\, will discuss her forthcoming book Updating to Remain the Same: Habitual New Media (MIT Press). Chun argues that our technologies matter most not when they are new but when they have become obsolete—when they have moved from the bleeding edge to the realm of the everyday\, when our use of them has become habitual. Habits are automatic—they “remain by disappearing from consciousness”—but also voluntary and even creative: we are constantly encouraged to seek better habits\, better patterns. Habits make us like our peers\, demarcating social class\; they are also deeply personal. Chun explores how the slow\, “creepy” accretion of habits—both conscious and unconscious—relate to distinctions between public and private\, memory and storage\, individual actions and social systems. \n\nWendy Hui Kyong Chun is Professor and Chair of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University. She has studied both Systems Design Engineering and English Literature\, which she combines and mutates in her current work on digital media. She is author of Control and Freedom: Power and Paranoia in the Age of Fiber Optics  (MIT\, 2006)\, and Programmed Visions: Software and Memory (MIT 2011).  She is co-editor (with Tara McPherson and Patrick Jagoda) of a special issue of American Literature entitled New Media and American Literature \, co-editor (with Lynne Joyrich) of a special issue of Camera Obscura entitled Race and/as Technology and co-editor (with Anna Fisher and Thomas Keenan) of New Media\, Old Media: A History and Theory Reader\, 2nd edition (forthcoming Routledge\, 2015).  She is the Velux Visiting Professor of Management\, Politics and Philosophy at the Copenhagen Business School\; she has been the Wayne Morse Chair for Law and Politics at the University of Oregon\, Visiting Professor at Leuphana University (Luneburg\, Germany)\, Visiting Associate Professor in the History of Science Department at Harvard\, of which she is currently an Associate. She has been a Member of the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton)\, a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard and a Wriston Fellow at Brown. Her forthcoming monograph is entitled Updating to Remain the Same: Habitual New Media ( forthcoming MIT 2016).\n\nThis keynote is part of the event: \"What Is Digital Studies?\" A conference about the new interdisciplinary Program in Digital Studies at the University of Michigan\n\nApril 15\, 2016\n11:30 AM- 7:00 PM\nGallery\, Hatcher Library\n\nhttp://lsa.umich.edu/digitalstudies/news-events/all-events.detail.html/28142-2666180.html
