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:Judaic Classics Series: \"Social Power and Religious Communication in the Roman Empire: Orthopraxy and Orthodoxy\"
DESCRIPTION:In this paper Professor Rives will sketch out a model for mapping religious change in the Roman Empire\, a model built around the contrast between orthopraxy and orthodoxy.  He begins by outlining what he sees as the key characteristics of these two social systems\, focusing especially on how those with power exercise that power in matters concerning human relations with the divine world.  Professor Rives then explores each of them in turn in more detail\, through the specific examples of the practice of animal sacrifice\, in the case of orthopraxy\, and Paul’s letter to the Galatians\, in the case of orthodoxy.  He concludes by stressing that his goal is simply to develop a model that can describe certain key aspects of religious change in the Roman imperial period and that\, like all models\, it simplifies and abstracts\, and so obscures a fair amount of complexity and nuance.\n\nSponsored by: Classical Studies\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, and Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Biotic and Abiotic Controls on the Origin of a Modern Grassland Ecosystem Over the Last Five Million Years
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the origin of modern communities is a fundamental goal of ecology\, but reconstructing the history of communities that include species with stratigraphic durations on the scale of hundreds of thousands to millions of years necessarily requires data from the fossil record. Similarly\, inferences about the paleoecology of past communities are most robust when informed by data from both living and fossil populations of extant species. Despite the logical connections between ecology and paleoecology\, relatively few studies have bridged the gaps in the characteristic observational timescales and methodologies of these disciplines to achieve a comprehensive view of the long-term evolution of specific modern communities.  The need to bridge these disciplinary gaps is increasingly pressing in the face of anthropogenic climate change and uncertainty about the magnitude and direction of responses by local communities. This large collaborative project examines the ecological\, environmental\, and climatic context of the origin of the modern small mammal community in the grasslands of the central USA over the last five million years. We are testing the effects of both biological and non-biological factors on long-term taxonomic turnover and ecological change in a stratigraphic sequence of local communities using a combination of ecomorphology\, biogeochemistry\, paleoclimate modeling\, and biogeography. Our results so far are consistent with a surprisingly small role for climate or habitat changes in structuring faunal changes\, suggesting that biological interactions among small mammal species may be more important.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Struggles for Citizenship around the Bay of Bengal
DESCRIPTION:As the lands that bordered the eastern Indian Ocean gained independence from colonial rule between 1947 and 1957\, they renegotiated their relations with one another\, and jostled for position in a world divided by the new tensions of the Cold War. The Bay of Bengal became a sea of nations\; this lecture examines the histories of the many communities that were marooned or displaced by those transformations in sovereignty. It considers the multiple struggles for citizenship that took place in the first decade after independence – in Sri Lanka\, Burma\, and Malaysia - by peoples of South Asian origin\, many of them second- or third-generation residents overseas\, who now had to find their place as “minorities” within new nation states. As well as providing a comparative view of the different political trajectories these struggles took\, this lecture also examines the question of “endings” in Indian Ocean history\, arguing that we must be as attentive to the breaking of connections as to the connectedness so celebrated in recent historical scholarship.\n\nSunil Amrith is the Mehra Family Professor of South Asian Studies at Harvard University. His research is on the trans-regional movement of people\, ideas\, and institutions. Areas of particular interest include the history of public health and poverty\, the history of migration\, and environmental history. His most recent work has been on the Bay of Bengal as a region connecting South and Southeast Asia. He has a PhD in History (2005) from the University of Cambridge\, where he was also a Research Fellow of Trinity College (2004-6).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Final-devoicing and phonological neutralization in Castilian Spanish
DESCRIPTION:Synchronic rules of word-final devoicing are unnatural to the extent that consonants are devoiced not only before pause (or a voiceless consonant)\, but also in the intervocalic position\, preceding a vowel-initial word\, a context that should favor voicing instead. A common assumption is that devoicing starts diachronically in the prepausal context\, where it is phonetically motivated\, and from there it spreads to the phrase-medial context by analogy. In order to test this hypothesis\, I examine the optional devoicing of final /-d/ in the Spanish of northwestern Spain (Old Castile)\, using a corpus of conversational speech. In this Spanish variety\, /-d/ variably devoices to a voiceless fricative or deletes. The results show that voiceless fricatives are found in all phrasal contexts\, but with significantly higher frequency before pause than before a vowel\, lending support to the hypothesis of extension of the devoicing from the former context to the latter. The devoicing of /-d/ is neutralizing. Voiceless fricative realizations of /-d/ do not differ from those of phonemic /-θ/ either in amount of voicing or in duration. The two phonemes\, however\, are not systematically neutralized word finally\, since\, as mentioned\, another common option for /-d/ is its deletion (other realizations\, including stops and voiced approximant are uncommon in our corpus). Phonemic /- θ/\, on the other hand\, is not subject to deletion.Whereas the deletion of /-d/ has some lexical exceptions\, its devoicing does not.  Among the majority of /d/-final words\, for which deletion is possible\, the relative frequency with which they undergo deletion vs. devoicing appears to vary substantially depending on the lexical item. That is\, both position in phrase and lexical identity probabilistically determine the realization of /-d/.
