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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ports\, Archives\, Museums
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores methodological questions for the interdisciplinary scholar who interprets archival documents and material culture for the recovery of transhemispheric links between Europe\, Africa\, Asia\, and the Americas in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.\n\nLisa Lowe is Professor of English and American Studies at Tufts University and author of the recent book\, \"The Intimacies of Four Continents\" (Duke University Press\, 2015). In this uniquely interdisciplinary work\, Lisa Lowe examines the relationships between Europe\, Africa\, Asia\, and the Americas in the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth- centuries\, exploring the links between colonialism\, slavery\, imperial trades and Western liberalism. Reading across archives\, canons\, and continents\, Lowe connects the liberal narrative of freedom overcoming slavery to the expansion of Anglo-American empire\, observing that abstract promises of freedom often obscure their embeddedness within colonial conditions. Race and social difference\, Lowe contends\, are enduring remainders of colonial processes through which “the human” is universalized and “freed” by liberal forms\, while the peoples who create the conditions of possibility for that freedom are assimilated or forgotten. Analyzing the archive of liberalism alongside the colonial state archives from which it has been separated\, Lowe offers new methods for interpreting the past\, examining events well documented in archives\, and those matters absent\, whether actively suppressed or merely deemed insignificant. Lowe invents a mode of reading intimately\, which defies accepted national boundaries and disrupts given chronologies\, complicating our conceptions of history\, politics\, economics\, and culture\, and ultimately\, knowledge itself.\n\nThis talk is presented by IRWG's Race\, Colonialism\, and Sexualities Initiative.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:​Abstract: A large portion of the labor force in many large factories in developing countries consists of internal migrants from rural areas\, who may have little information about the industry upon beginning work. We examine whether workers' lack of information affects working conditions in the garment industry in Bangladesh. We use a retrospective panel of the wages and working conditions of 991 garment workers (matched to the factories they work in) collected in 2009. We find that internal migrants work in factories with worse conditions\, but move towards factories with better conditions as they gain experience. These facts are consistent with a model in which migrants are poorly informed about working conditions upon beginning work but do learn as they gain experience in the industry.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Speaker Series presents Dr. J. Chris Pires\, Associate Professor\, University of Missouri
DESCRIPTION:Ancient whole genome duplications (WGDs) are ubiquitous throughout the evolutionary history of higher eukaryotic lineages. These events have been hypothesized to be the basis for major evolutionary transitions\, including the origin of novel traits in large species radiations across plants\, fungi\, protozoa\, and animals. Repeated rounds of WGDs\, or polyploid events\, have been best documented among the flowering plants\, and tend to be phylogenetically near the origin of speciose clades. However\, the mechanism driving diversification remains poorly understood. We analyzed the impact of the two most recent WGDs in Arabidopsis on diversification rates and the origin of novel phenotypes. Phylogenetic analyses of these two WGDs show that both events occurred following mass extinction events. The origin of two novel classes of chemical defenses\, indole and met- derived glucosinolates (i.e. mustard oils)\, are associated with duplicated regulatory and biosynthetic pathways that arose via WGDs. Our analyses suggest that the origin of these novel defense compounds spurred anevolutionary arms-race with insect herbivores\, resulting in massive co-radiations of both the host plant and predatory insects.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxlmgRk0-CU&index=45&list=PLY8QfwKxxfG5m5mkB3f3nNO5bF0cYKXqV

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"Time Crimes: The 20th Century’s Long Now\"
DESCRIPTION:In this j’accuse\, Professor Edwards prosecutes the 20th century for its crimes against time. The major charges include disrupting biological time\, mechanizing time\, killing eternity\, chopping time up\, accelerating time\, multiplying futures\, and enfeebling the past. The primary and most serious charge\, however\, is that the 20th century occupied the planetary future\, colonizing it for its own needs with reckless disregard. By altering characteristics of the Earth itself—in ways likely to endure throughout all future human history and even beyond\, into geological time—the 20th century asserted a murderous and tyrannical power over time\, far beyond the feeble attempts of any of its predecessors to do the same.\n\nThe evidence in his case will reference infrastructures and sociotechnical systems built and spread across the planet during the long 20th century. Among them are electric power\, standard time zones\, fossil fuels\, digital computers\, nuclear weapons\, and nuclear power. His primary exhibit—connecting all of the others in sometimes unexpected ways—will be the history of meteorology and global climate science. Ironically\, the latter willingly participated in these terrible crimes even as it rose up to stop them.\n\nPaul N. Edwards is a professor in the School of Information and the Department of History at the University of Michigan. His research explores the history\, politics\, and cultural aspects of computers\, information infrastructures\, and global climate science. Professor Edwards is co-editor (with Geoffrey C. Bowker) of the Infrastructures book series (MIT Press)\, and he serves on the editorial boards of Big Data & Society: Critical Interdisciplinary Inquiries and Information & Culture: A Journal of History. His most recent book is A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming (MIT Press\, 2010).\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:THE DAAS ZORA NEALE HURSTON LECTURE:KEEPING COOL AND GETTING HOT: THE PHILOSOPHIC FIREPOWER OF YORUBA CIVILIZATION
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Afroamerican and African Studies Zora Neale Hurston lecture seeks to facilitate the cultivation of scholarship by drawing attention to the function of grounding\, translation\, and expertise in scholarly and professional practice. It is named in honor of Zora Neale Hurston\, the most prolific African-American woman writer of her time or earlier. Using the power of her imagery and the richness of the cultures she brought to life through her writings\, Hurston continues to serve as an inspiration for those seeking to fulfill their intellectual curiosity.  \n Michael Awkward\, Director of what was then the Center for Afroamerican and African Studies initiated the ZNH Lecture in 1994 with a presentation by Arnold Rampersad on the work of writer Langston Hughes\, a Hurston colleague. Over the past 20 years\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies has continually sought to engage prominent public intellectuals from across the globe to speak on a topic of their choice in Hurston’s honor. Speakers such as Alice Walker\, former Director Ali Mazrui\,  Geneva Smitherman\, Mary Frances Berry\, Cheryl Wall\, Brenda Gottschild Dixon\, Lorna Goodison\, Dorothea Smartt\, Farah Jasmine Griffin\, Sharon Holland and others have shared their perspective on a wide variety of subjects. In doing so\, these scholars exemplify Hurston’s insatiable inquisitiveness as she once noted\, “Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.”
