SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibit:On the Trail of Wonder: Selections from the Collection of Rolf Sapoli
DESCRIPTION:What makes an object wonderful? Is it an objective quality that can be measured and studied? Or is it an instinctive reaction\, welling up within the observer\, prompting us to ask: where did this come from? What does it mean? Is it real?\nNoted natural philosopher Rolf Sapoli has generously lent prized pieces from his world-renowned collection to the U-M Museum of Natural History for a short-term imposition. Objects rarely seen in a museum will be on display\, including a native Michigan koala\, Henry Ford’s pet dodo\, and a miniature manatee.  The items will be integrated with the permanent collections and interspersed throughout the galleries\, creating a trail of wonderful objects.  How many will you find?  The exhibit opens March 26 and runs through April 10\, though Mr. Sapoli tells us the best viewing will be on Friday\, April 1\, at 4:01 pm.

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: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:Social\, Behavioral\, and Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:We show that grit\, a non-cognitive skill that has been shown to be highly predictive of achievement\, is malleable in the childhood period and can be fostered in the classroom environment. Our evidence comes from an evaluation of a randomized educational intervention implemented in elementary schools in Istanbul. Outcomes are measured via a novel incentivized real effort task and actual school grades on core subjects. We find that treated students are 1) more likely to choose to undertake a more challenging and more rewarding task against an easier but less rewarding alternative\, 2) less likely to give up after failure\, 3) more likely to exert effort to accumulate task-specific ability\, and consequently\, 4) more likely to succeed and collect higher payoffs. The intervention also has a significant impact on school grades: We find that treated students are about 3 percentage points more likely to receive top grades in core academic subjects.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Human Rights Program Lecture
DESCRIPTION:As governance increasingly relies on evidence-based approaches\, the importance of measurement grows. Evidence-based governance depends on the availability of numbers to assess the size\, scope\, and nature of an issue. Numbers are necessary even to bring an issue to the attention of governments. Issues that are measured become politically visible while those that are not tend to disappear. Of course\, politics determines what gets counted.    What seems politically important to a person or organization that has the power and resources to count it ends up being what is counted. Measurement makes issues visible: it moves them from the domain of the everyday and natural to that of the visible and publicly recognizable. Once countable\, the concept is more publicly recognizable and more amenable to governance and public concern. When such a process is successful\, it raises unnoticed parts of social life to public attention and renders them visible and open to reform. It enables comparisons among the relative happiness of cities\, for example\, or the quality of universities.   However\, bringing uncounted domains of social life into the sphere of the measured requires substantial effort and resources. The measurement process requires investments in conceptual development\, data gathering\, pilot testing\, and dissemination of results. Once this process is finished\, however\, the numbers often have a significant impact on governance.\n\nThis talk explores the role of measurement in promoting compliance with human rights treaties. It examines an effort by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to create a set of indicators for twelve human rights and shows how this process redefined human rights in a developmental framework. A project initiated to increase compliance with human rights became one designed to make law understandable to development economists\, producing a development-based human rights system with differing logics and approaches than those of a more legally-based human rights system. As human rights norms were translated into quantifiable measures\, they were not only redefined but also incorporated into a developmental theory of social change.\n\nSall Engle Merry Bio:\n\nSally Engle Merry is Silver Professor and Professor of Anthropology at New York University. She is also Associate Department Chair\, Faculty Co-director of the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice at the New York University School of Law\, and past president of the American Ethnological Society. She is the author or editor of fifteen books and special journal issues and over one hundred and twenty-five articles and reviews. Her recent books include Colonizing Hawai‘i (Princeton\, 2000)\, Human Rights and Gender Violence (Chicago\, 2006)\, Gender Violence: A Cultural Perspective (Blackwells\, 2009) and The Practice of Human Rights\, (co-edited with Mark Goodale\; Cambridge\, 2007). She received the Hurst Prize for Colonizing Hawai‘i in 2002\, the Kalven Prize for scholarly contributions to sociolegal scholarship in 2007\, and the J.I. Staley Prize for Human Rights and Gender Violence in 2010. In 2013 she received an honorary degree from McGill School of Law and was the focus of an Author Colloquium at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZIF) at the University of Bielefeld\, Germany. She is an adjunct professor at Australian National University. Her forthcoming book\, The Seductions of Quantification: Measuring Human Rights\, Violence against Women\, and Sex Trafficking (Chicago: University of Chicago Press) examines indicators as a technology of knowledge used for human rights monitoring and global governance.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Finance
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: A parent whose child is born in December can claim child-related tax benefits when she files her tax return a few months later. Parents of children born in January must wait more than a year before they can receive child-related tax benefits. As a result\, families with December births have higher after-tax income in the first year of a child’s life than otherwise similar families with January births. This paper estimates the corresponding income effect on maternal labor supply\, testing whether mothers who give birth in December work and earn less in the months following birth. We use data from the American Community Survey\, the Survey of Income and Program Participation\, and the 2000 Decennial Census. We find that December mothers have a lower probability of working\, particularly in the third month after a child’s birth. Earnings data from the SIPP indicate that an additional dollar of child-related tax benefits reduces annual maternal earnings in the year following a child’s birth by approximately one dollar.
