SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MECHANICAL CIRCULATORY SUPPORT FOR HEART FAILURE
DESCRIPTION:Heart failure is a growing epidemic. Transplantation remains the best treatment for long-term survival. However\, transplant is limited by the number of available donors\, plateaued at approximately 2\,500 cases per year. Mechanical circulatory support with artificial blood pumps can effectively treat patients with end-stage heart failure. These devices have evolved considerably\, now allowing long-term survival to approach that of heart 
transplantation. Dr. Haft will discuss the evolution of mechanically supported circulation 
including the use of Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) and the Total Artificial Heart.\n\nDr. Haft is a practicing cardiac surgeon at the University of Michigan and the Associate 
Director of the Cardiovascular Center Intensive Care Unit. His clinical interests include adult cardiac surgery\, mechanical circulatory support\, heart transplantation\, critical care and
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO).\n\nThis is the fifth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Biomedical Breakthroughs: The Future is Here. The next lecture will be March 31\, entitled MEDICAL 3D PRINTING TO SAVE LIVES

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:Exhibition: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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Catherine Ryu\, Associate Professor of Japanese Literature and Culture\, Michigan State University\n\nThis lecture explores the intersection between waka (Japanese court poetry) and one of the most popular contemporary anime\, Chihayafuru (2011). Together with the original manga series by Yuki Suetsugu\, this anime has generated a new boom in utagaruta\, a traditional Japanese card game based on Hyakunin isshu (Hundred Poets\, One Poem Each\, the 1230s)\, which was compiled by Fujiwara Teika\, a celebrated courtier poet. This lecture will elucidate in particular the significance of the color red in Suetsugu’s innovative construction of a voice for shôjo (少女\, “girl”) heroines—a new voice that matures through the poetic language of love.\n\nCatherine Ryu is associate professor of Japanese Literature and Culture at Michigan State University. Her teaching and research areas include classical Japanese\, gender studies\, and game studies. She is also the inventor of Cube2Cube (C2C)\, a visualization platform\, which she uses to teach classical Japanese grammar.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Mock Law Class Taught by Twice Wolverine\, Cardozo Law Vice Dean and Prof. Richard A. Bierschbach (Lunch refreshments provided)
DESCRIPTION:Professor Bierschbach will teach a mock law school class on the following issue: Should corporations have constitutional rights?  The class will begin by covering the basic question of what a corporation is\, and will then turn to discuss the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby\, which dealt with whether corporations can assert claims of religious belief.  It is not necessary for students to read the case in advance.  Professor Bierschbach will explain the opinion briefly and use it to raise interesting issues of both corporate and constitutional law\, such as on whose behalf corporations act\, how far we should go in extending to corporations rights that we ordinarily think of as applying only to natural persons\, and what the consequences of doing so might be.\n\nRichard A. Bierschbach is a Vice Dean and Law Professor at Yeshiva University's Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York City. He specializes in alternative sentencing\, criminal law\, and white-collar crime.  \n\nPre-registration required by clicking \"Join event\" at https://umich.joinhandshake.com/events/10166\n\nLight lunch refreshments available.
