SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Distinguished Lecture. Human Rights and Medical Care in Times of Emergency
DESCRIPTION:If access to healthcare is a human right\, what happens when disasters\, pandemics and armed conflict limit the care that can be provided? Who decides which patients are prioritized\, and how are those decisions made? What kind of care should be given to patients nearing the end-of-life when caregivers are overwhelmed with urgent conditions? While vast inequities already exist in healthcare systems\, emergencies often bring them into focus and can perpetuate them. This talk will highlight examples from a hospital cut off for days by the floodwaters from Hurricane Katrina\, where health professionals were later arrested on accusations of second degree murder\, and touch on complications to healthcare from this year's horrible hurricane season. We'll delve into the Ebola outbreak\, where the care provided varied sharply on lines of nationality\, and reach back to the Balkan wars of the 1990s\, when humanitarian health aid hid a lack of political will to confront a genocide.\n\nSheri Fink is the author of The New York Times bestselling book\, Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital (Crown\, 2013) about choices made in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. She is a correspondent at The New York Times\, where her and her colleagues' stories on the West Africa Ebola crisis were recognized with the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for international reporting\, the George Polk Award for health reporting\, and the Overseas Press Club Hal Boyle Award. Her story \"The Deadly Choices at Memorial\,\" co-published by ProPublica and The New York Times Magazine\, received a 2010 Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting and a National Magazine Award for reporting. A former relief worker in disaster and conflict zones\, Fink received her MD and PhD from Stanford University. Her first book\, War Hospital: A True Story of Surgery and Survival (PublicAffairs)\, is about medical professionals under siege during the genocide in Srebrenica\, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Five Days at Memorial was the winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for nonfiction\, the PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for nonfiction\, the Ridenhour Book Prize\, the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize\, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize\, the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance Book Award\, the American Medical Writers Association Medical Book Award\, and the NASW Science in Society Journalism Book Award.\n\nSponsors: Department of Anthropology\, Institute for the Humanities\, International Policy Center\, Michigan Medicine Department of Epidemiology\, Office of Global Public Health\, Program in International and Comparative Studies.\n\nPhoto Credit: Jen Dessinger

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bill Goldstein: The World Broke in Two
DESCRIPTION:Author Bill Goldstein discusses his new book\, The World Broke in Two: Virgina Woolf\, T.S. Eliot\, D.H. Lawrence\, E.M. Forster and the Year that Changed Literature. He'll be joined by Douglas Trevor\, chair of the Zell's Writers Program at U-M. The talk will be followed by a book sale and signing.\n\nThe World Broke in Two tells the story of the intellectual and personal journeys four legendary writers\, Virginia Woolf\, T. S. Eliot\, E. M. Forster\, and D. H. Lawrence\, make over the course of one pivotal year. As 1922 begins\, all four are literally at a loss for words\, confronting an uncertain creative future despite success in the past. The literary ground is shifting\, as Ulysses is published in February and Proust’s In Search of Lost Time begins to be published in England in the autumn. Yet\, dismal as their prospects seemed in January\, by the end of the year Woolf has started Mrs. Dalloway\, Forster has\, for the first time in nearly a decade\, returned to work on the novel that will become A Passage to India\, Lawrence has written Kangaroo\, his unjustly neglected and most autobiographical novel\, and Eliot has finished—and published to acclaim—“The Waste Land.\"\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan Library\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, the U-M Department of English Language and Literature\, the Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshops on Critical Contemporary Studies and Pre-Professional Humanists\, and Literati Bookstore.

SUMMARY:Presentation:UM Psychology Community Talk with Dr. Dan Keating
DESCRIPTION:Breaking the Stress Cycle from Childhood to Adulthood\n\nThe U.S. is experiencing a widespread and growing stress epidemic. Stress-related disorders and diseases have been on the rise for decades according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.  National surveys that assess how stressed and anxious we feel show a very similar pattern.  And it shows up in our bodies\, even before we get sick: the “physiological stress load” that tracks key biological markers shows similar increases\, and is getting worse as each new age group enters adulthood.  More children and youth may also be experiencing greater stress dysregulation and difficulties in coping\, owing to the lifelong impact of early life adversity that is tied biologically and psychologically to this epidemic.  But research also shows how we can break this cycle\, both for individuals and families at every stage of development\, and for society more generally.\n	\nDr. Keating is currently Professor of Psychology\, Psychiatry\, and Pediatrics\, and Research Professor in the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan.  His current research focuses on the impact of early life adversity on child and youth development\, and on the neurodevelopmental pathways in adolescent risk behavior.  His most recent book (2017\, St. Martins Press) is Born Anxious: The Lifelong Impact of Early Life Adversity – and How to Break the Cycle. \n\nThis program is part of the \"Exploring the Mind\" series and is cosponsored by The University of Michigan Department of Psychology.

SUMMARY:Other:DEAD PIZZA SOCIETY: EPISODE IV - A NEW PIZZA
DESCRIPTION:\n​\n​ ​It is a period of civil war. Student spaceships\, striking from a hidden base\, have won their first victory against the University Empire.\nDuring the battle\, student spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon\, increased tuition prices\, subjecting students to greater debt and sorrow. Compelled by the idea of advancing careers\, the students continue to be caught between being a part of the system and fighting against it. During Fall Break\, they raced home\, seeking solace from the depression produced by the University Empire. Here they can conspire against the corruption on social media\, using the only weapon they have: their voice.  Join us Monday\, 10/23 from 8:00-9:30 pm in 1210 Chem as we discuss what lies at the heart of education. Why is it so important that each person spends at least 12 years\, then many pay for even more? What do we gain from it? What issues are there with our educational system? As always\, we will have free pizza! \n Perhaps we do need education....  May the pizza be with you\,and Carpe Diem Alex KretzschmerSecretary of the Dead Pizza Society

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Forever Unfinished: Making and Remaking a Public University
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan was founded in 1817 as a public institution\, a concept for which there were few models. What makes a university public? What should it look like? Whom should it serve? Who should have access to its resources\, and where should those resources come from?\n\nThis exhibit explores how students\, faculty\, staff\, politicians\, and citizens have attempted to answer these questions. These stories invite us to imagine U-M's future as a public university based on what we know about its past.\n\nExhibit team: Jonathan Farr\, Nora Krinitsky\, Michelle McClellan\, Gregory Parker\, Emily Price\, Kate Silbert\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester exhibit is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Cut Ups: Paper Collage
DESCRIPTION:Laura Cavanagh is a Michigan native who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan in 2011 with a BFA in Art & Design and a minor in Art History. Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Under Covers: Encaustic & Mixed Media
DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts
DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\n\nEndi Poskovic was educated in Yugoslavia\, Norway\, and the United States. His graphic works have been exhibited worldwide and have brought him many notable awards and honors\, including grants and fellowships from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the United States Fulbright Commission\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Norwegian Government\, the Camargo Foundation\, the Flemish Ministry of Culture\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, and the Art Matters Foundation\, among others. Museum collections which hold works by the artist include the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Harvard University Fogg Art Museum\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: PRACTICE SESSION #5
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on view October 23 -27\n\"Practice Sessions\" is part of the University of Michigan's \"Third Century Initiative\,\" which funds experimental pedagogies in a bid to change how teaching and learning happen within the bounds of the institution. Over a five-year period\, ten architectural practices will be invited to Taubman College to run a practice session. Each session centers on an immersive four-day design charette that culminates in a juried review and exhibition. These sessions are not workshops in the conventional sense. Invited practices are not selected to repeat a known and routinized working method in collaboration with students. Instead\, invitees are called to work in an experimental mode\, where everything is subject to the pressures of practice on design: the design of the session topic\, the design of the work space where the session is held\, the design of the way the session itself occupies the institution of Taubman College\, and the design of the thing(s) produced by the practice session.\nPractice Session #5 Opening lecture is on Friday\, October 20\, featuring Débora Mesa and Antón García-Abril\;\nThe workshop runs from October 21-22.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Jesus\, Women\, and Early Christianity
DESCRIPTION:We’ll explore how Jesus interacted with and treated women during his ministry and how they responded. Looking into questions like: What were the cultural norms for women during Jesus’ life? Was Jesus a feminist? What do Paul’s letter to the Romans and John’s Gospel tell us about early women disciples? \n\nThen we will discuss women’s roles in the very early Christian communities up to about 300 A.D. The New Testament will be used as well as several other references. There will be time for questions and discussion and some possibly surprising revelations. An outline and list of references will be provided. Over the past 50 years there has been a wealth of academic and research interest in these topics and well over 100 books have been written.\n\nInstructor Peggy Clough will lead this study group for those 50 and above for two hours on Tuesdays October 24 and 31.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part II: Abstraction
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. \n\nThis two-part exhibition presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. Part II: Abstraction\, on view in the A. Alfred Taubman Gallery July 1 through October 29\, showcases modern and contemporary art by Pablo Picasso\, Alberto Giacometti\,\nLouise Nevelson\, Christo\, Lorna Simpson\, José Parlá\, and Do Ho Su\, among others. It also features a fifth-century Korean roof end tile and an Amish quilt\, as well as a work by an Inuit master—thus inviting visitors to explore the pleasures of abstraction across a wide range of media\, eras\, and genres. UMMA extends Part II: Abstraction into the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery from August 19 through November 26\, 2017\, with the site-specific installation of Random International’s LED-light and motion-sensing dynamic sculpture\, Swarm Study / II. Victors for Art offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\n\nLead support for Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Tuesday Lecture Series | The Literary Inscription of Things in Early Modern China
DESCRIPTION:Please note the new time and location for our 2017-18 lecture series.\n\nIn addition to writing with the brush and ink\, late imperial Chinese poets engraved their words onto cups and chairs\, walking sticks\, slabs of stone\, and musical instruments. This talk examines how such practices challenge our own notions of writing and reading literature. \n    \nTom Kelly received his PhD from the University of Chicago in 2017 and is a first-year fellow in the Michigan Society of Fellows. His current research explores the relationship between Chinese literature and the decorative arts in the early modern world.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Architects in the Archives: The Research\, Design\, and Curation of a Bicentennial Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:In April of this year\, the Taubman College Gallery on North Campus debuted a student exhibition entitled “Persistent Pasts: The Bicentennial Campus as Archive.” Combining historical research and analysis from the students in Sarah Rovang’s “The Curated Campus” graduate seminar and the output of a design studio taught by Steven Mankouche\, “Persistent Pasts” reflected on the University of Michigan’s campus as a repository of memory. As UM celebrates its Bicentennial year\, this exhibition asked how past traditions\, tensions\, and technologies left material or cultural traces on campus space today. By juxtaposing rarely examined aspects of the historical university and radical designs for an unrealized present\, “Persistent Pasts” prompted visitors to question entrenched conceptions of what UM should and could be\, architecturally and institutionally. This talk revisits the experience of designing and teaching this course as an opportunity to think critically about two principle questions with ramifications for both humanists and architects. First\, what particular skills\, tools\, and techniques do architects bring to both the processes and objects of archival research? And second\, what are the implications of teaching a design-build course with a public-facing\, museological final project? We will also discuss ongoing efforts to create an afterlife for the exhibition as an immersive digital humanities project\, interrogating the possibilities and challenges of translating a predominantly physical exhibition into an exclusively digital setting.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:When looks count: the function and distribution of LOOK-AT in American Sign Language
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Hou (UCSD) will give a research presentation in the Sign Language Linguistics course taught by Natasha Abner. Hou is also a finalist in the Linguistic Society of America's Five-Minute Linguist competition.\n\nWhen looks count: the function and distribution of LOOK-AT in American Sign Language\nLynn Hou (UCSD)\n\nIn this paper\, I analyze the function and distribution of the ASL verb look-at in a dataset of 14h 15m of naturalistic ASL\, using a construction-theoretic\, usage-based approach. The data come from videos posted on the Internet\, grouped into three genres: face-to-face conversations\, monologues\, and news reportage from an ASL radio show\, The Daily Moth.\n\nThe dataset yielded 800 tokens of look-at. There is much morpho-phonological variation among look-at tokens. I coded tokens both for their lexico-grammatical function (‘look at’\, ‘observe’\, ‘look down on’\, etc.) and for their phonetic properties (handshape\, use of one or two hands\, path movement\, repetition\, English mouthing\, type of facial expressions).\n\nTokens with path movement patterns are often two-handed\, and are typically associated with physical acts of looking at a referent or the state of affairs\; they also map onto cognitive states such as admiration\, contempt\, anticipation\, and retrospection. Many look-at tokens occur with reduced path movement or without path movement altogether\; these signs appear in contexts relating to the signer’s subjective experience\, whether understanding\, thinking about\, or reacting to a situation. These subjective verbs are often accompanied by affective facial expressions\, are prototypically one-handed\, and are often signed with the thumb abducted.\n\nMany tokens of subjective look-at are followed by another cognitive verb such as the reaction sign oh-i-see and feel or a clausal complement analogous to subordinating BE- like [“and I was like?”] in colloquial English. I propose this variant of look-at has been grammaticalized from a perception verb to a cognition verb. This is reflected not only in its specialized semantics and distribution. i.e.\, introduces clausal complements with affective facial expressions\, but also in its reduced form\, i.e.\, no path movement\, thumb abducted\, one-handed. This finding is in line with the robust tendency for phonetic reduction and semantic shift to differentially affect high-frequency words.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ChE Seminar Series: Charles Campbell
DESCRIPTION:Charles Campbell is Professor and B. Seymour Rabinovitch Endowed Chair in Chemistry and an\nAdjunct Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Washington\, Seattle\n\nABSTRACT\n\nLate transition metal surfaces catalyze a wide variety of industrially important reactions.  Experimental and theoretical results concerning the thermodynamics and kinetics of surface chemical reactions of importance in late transition metal catalysis will be reviewed.  Topics include:  (1) calorimetric measurements of the adsorption energies of small molecules and molecular fragments on single crystal transition metal surfaces\, and their comparison to different DFT methods\; (2) a new method based on DFT that more accurately estimates adsorbate energies on metals than any existing DFT functional\; (3) measurements of the entropies of adsorbates and their trends\; (4) a new method for estimating adsorbate entropies and prefactors for surface reaction rate constants that accurately treats the full range of adsorbate statistical behaviors between the ideal 2D lattice gas and the ideal 2D gas limits\; and\, (5) measurements of the energies of transition metal atoms adsorbed on single crystal oxide supports\, and in nanoparticles on oxide supports as a function of particle size and support.\n\nWork supported by NSF and DOE-OBES Chemical Sciences Division.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:100 Years of Opportunity: Asian Women’s Global Engagement
DESCRIPTION:This panel will bring together Barbour Scholars for a panel to reflect on Levi Barbour’s original motivation for creating his scholarship\, and to seek to examine how the mission has been transformed over time and into the modern day. When Barbour first traveled throughout Asia\, he met several women who had studied at the University of Michigan and then returned home to aid their countries’ development. Barbour wanted to provide the same opportunity for more women\, who frequently faced obstacles to advancement in their home countries\, to receive a western education. The Barbour Scholarship has survived through a highly dynamic century that has seen dramatic changes in the relationships between the United States and the home countries of many Barbour Scholars\, the rise of globalism\, and incredible innovations across many fields of study. Join us for a conversation amongst Barbour Scholars whose experiences span decades and fields of study. Please email rackham.alums@umich.edu with questions or for more information. \n\nBarbour alumnae and current Scholars will participate in a panel to share their experiences traveling across the globe to earn a University of Michigan education. Participants will include Dr. Meera Sampath (Electrical Engineering)\, Dr. Heasook Rhee (Music Performance)\, and Dr. Wing Li (Mathematics). Current student participants will include Amrita Dhar (English Language and Literature) and Niloufar Emami (Architecture)\, both of whom are doctoral candidates These women will provide a small snapshot of the realization of Levi Barbour's vision of opportunity and a truly global experience.\n\nThe panel precedes a networking event for current Barbour Scholars and alumnae.\n\nIf you are interested in attending\, please register here: myumi.ch/6xPz9

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Controlling Electronic Structure and Correlations in Artificial Quantum Materials
DESCRIPTION:Our ability to control the electronic structure of materials\, for instance at semiconductor interfaces\, has had enormous scientific and technological implications. Recently\, this concept has been extended to materials which possess inherently strong quantum many-body interactions\, such as strongly correlated transition metal oxides\, allowing us to synthesize artificial heterostructures which can harbor novel electronic or magnetic properties. The ability to deterministically manipulate the strength of electron correlations or the electronic band structure will be critical to designing new materials with novel properties. I will describe some examples of our recent work in thin films of nickelates (LaNiO3) and ruthenates (the odd-parity superconductor Sr2RuO4)\, and how we have used both epitaxial strain as well as dimensional confinement in atomically thin films to control the strength of electronic correlations\, the electronic band structure\, the Fermi surface topology\, and drive a metal-insulator transition. These new insights could someday enable deterministic control over the emergent properties of quantum materials.  \n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Africa Workshop with Emilie Diouf (Brandeis University)
DESCRIPTION:With the best of intentions governmental and nongovernmental humanitarian advocacy groups assemble and collect stories of suffering in order to inform their claims for restoration. They collect trauma narratives for the purpose of supporting their interventions into nations and communities. But they also collect and disseminate these stories to acquire funding and political capital in order to promote their own institutional security even as they promote human dignity in their practices (James 2004). As a result of advocacy against HIV/AIDS\, Female Genital Mutilation\, and armed conflict in particular\, African women’s stories of trauma have often been interpreted and showcased as evidence of extreme gender based abuses in the global rights discourse. How do we ethically empathize with the suffering of women across nations and cultures whose gendering processes are different and who are racialized\, remains an exegetical question for both feminist and trauma studies as well as humanitarian work and policies. I suggest that cross-cultural solidarity can only happen if there is a willingness to ethically translate African women’s traumatic experiences. I argue that ethical translation of pain takes into consideration the intersubjective dimension of trauma narration and considers the cultural\, social\, and political locations of African women as well as the subjects who bear witness to their testimonies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Lecture. Atlantic History Initiative - Antiracism in Cuba: The Unfinished Revolution
DESCRIPTION:How do racism and antiracism coexist? How do we fight against racism in a racist world? What are the lessons learned from the 1959 Cuban Revolution? Analyzing the ideology and rhetoric around race in Cuba and south Florida during the early years of the Cuban revolution\, Dr. Devyn Spence Benson answers these questions in her book Antiracism in Cuba: The Unfinished Revolution. She examines how ideas\, stereotypes\, and discriminatory practices relating to racial difference persisted despite major efforts by the Cuban state to generate social equality. This talk examines 1960s government programs and campaigns against discrimination\, showing how such programs frequently negated their efforts by reproducing racist images and idioms in revolutionary propaganda\, cartoons\, and school materials. \n    \nDr. Devyn Spence Benson is an Assistant Professor of Africana and Latin American Studies at Davidson College. She is a historian of 19th-20th century Latin America with a focus on race and revolution in Cuba. She is the author of published articles and reviews in the Hispanic American Historical Review\, Journal of Cuban Studies\, Journal of Transnational American Studies\, and PALARA: Publication of the Afro-Latin / American Research Association. Benson's book\, Antiracism in Cuba: The Unfinished Revolution (UNC Press\, 2016) is based on over 18 months of field research in Cuba where she has traveled annually since 2003.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: \"Maize\, Blue\, and Lavender: Revisiting U-M's LGBTQ Past\"
DESCRIPTION:Tim Retzloff received his BA with highest honors in history from the University of Michigan in 2006 and earned his PhD in history from Yale in 2014. Prior to graduate school\, he worked for seventeen years in various U-M libraries\, first on the Flint campus\, then in Ann Arbor. His engagement with U-M’s LGBTQ past began while a student at UM-Flint\, when he authored the history appendix for the 1991 study From Invisibility to Inclusion\, Opening the Doors for Lesbians and Gay Men at the University of Michigan\, commonly known as The Lavender Report.\n\nRetzloff has been a guest on Stateside with Cynthia Canty on Michigan Radio and The Craig Fahle Show on WDET.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Louis and Helen Padnos Lecture Series: \"Intersex Bodies in Tosefta Bikkurim\"
DESCRIPTION:The androgynus is defined by the anonymous majority in Tosefta Bikkurim\, chapter 2\, as sometimes male\, sometimes female\, sometimes both and sometimes neither. A minority opinion even goes so far as to claim that the androgynus is sui generis. But does this definition\, or even the Tosefta’s attempt at creating a halakhic framework for the androgynus\, constitute “providing a means for integrating the androgynus into mainstream culture?” This lecture explores the question\, “does the category of androgynus as defined by Tosefta Bikkurim offer us a new look at gender\, or does it\, once again\, confine us to a binary system of male and female?” This will be explored through an examination of the halakhic status of the androgynus\, as well as through a literary reading of the text itself.\n\nImage: © Sharon Gershoni\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Making the Modern Happen: The Lives and Works of Woolf\, Eliot\, Lawrence and Forster in 1922
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture\, discussion\, and reception with public humanist and author Bill Goldstein about his new book The World Broke in Two: Virginia Woolf\, T. S. Eliot\, D. H. Lawrence\, E. M. Forster and the Year That Changed Literature\, published by Henry Holt on August 15\, 2017.\n\nWilla Cather wrote in 1936\, \"The world broke in two in 1922 or thereabouts.\" The publication of James Joyce's UIysses in February and T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land in October quickly gave 1922 a privileged place in the history of literary modernism. But for Woolf\, Eliot\, Lawrence and Forster\, the literary apocalypse of 1922 had less to do with publication dates than with the personal and creative challenges explored in this talk.\n\nAt the start of the year\, each was a writer in deep despair about an uncertain creative future. By the end of the year each had done work that transformed them as writers: Woolf had written \"Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street\,\" the story that grew into the novel Mrs. Dalloway\; Forster had made his first substantial progress in nearly a decade on the novel that would become A Passage to India\; Lawrence wrote his most experimental and autobiographical novel Kangaroo\; and Eliot had completed and published The Waste Land -- though the drama of the year for him had less to do with the poem's appearance than with how close he had come to not finishing it or having it published at all. Key to what these writers wrote is what they read\, in particular Joyce's Ulysses\, but even more crucially\, Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu\, a substantial -- and immediate -- influence on Woolf and Forster that The World Broke in Two delineates for the first time.\n\nGoldstein will discuss\, among other issues\, how the specters of Ulysses\, In Search of Lost Time and The Waste Land itself shaped Woolf's ideas of form and structure\; why the seizure of Lawrence's Women in Love by the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice in July 1922 led to a landmark legal decision prefiguring the decision in the Ulysses case a decade later\; and how\, most significantly\, the lingering impact of World War One on English life is reflected in the work this quartet of writers did in 1922.\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan Library\, the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, the U-M Department of English Language and Literature\, the Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshops on Critical Contemporary Studies and Pre-Professional Humanists\, and Literati Bookstore.

SUMMARY:Other:Rebuilding ancient pathways: Model metalloenzymes for energy conversion
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                The impending energy crisis is one of the biggest challenges that scientists of today face. At the root of this problem lie the dual issues of limited fossil fuel supplies and rising CO2 levels\, both of which threaten severe ecological damage. On a more pragmatic note\, however\, our entire society has been built around facile access to liquid fuels. Thus\, any solution to this predicament requires an end product that can be easily assimilated into the current infrastructure.\n\nIn contrast to anthropogenic methods\, nature has evolved diverse systems to carry out energy conversion reactions. Many\, including metalloenzymes such as hydrogenase\, carbon monoxide dehydrogenase\, and acetyl coenzyme A synthase\, can reversibly generate and oxidize small-molecule fuels such as hydrogen and CO. These processes are implicated in chemoautotrophic origins of life and play a key role in the metabolisms of ancient bacteria and archaea. However\, while these enzymes are highly functional within their native environment\, most are costly to isolate\, sensitive to external conditions\, and generally poorly suited for large-scale application. Additionally\, the multimetallic active sites and auxiliary cofactors obscure distinguishing spectroscopic features and render detailed analyses challenging. As a result\, the molecular mechanisms of catalysis remain relatively poorly understood\, thwarting efforts to build biomimetic synthetic systems that act with the efficacy of native enzymes. \n\nWe have approached this problem from a metalloprotein engineering perspective. Azurin and rubredoxin are two of the most well studied proteins within the bioinorganic community. Both are robust platforms\, known for their unique spectroscopic features and representative coordination geometries. By introducing non-native metals and redesigning the primary and secondary coordination spheres\, we have been able to install novel activity into these simple electron transfer proteins. Recent results will be presented demonstrating catalytic hydrogen evolution\, carbon dioxide fixation\, and carbon monoxide activation in these repurposed bioinorganic scaffolds. Optical\, vibrational\, and magnetic resonance spectroscopic techniques have been used in conjunction with density functional theory calculations to probe the active-site structures across different states\, with the intent of characterizing the catalytic mechanisms. These findings will be discussed in the context of identifying the fundamental principles underlying highly active native enzymes and applying those principles towards engineering effective model metalloproteins for energy conversion reactions.                        \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nHannah Shafaat (Ohio State University)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jindrich Toman: The Jewish Town as Represented Space: Prague\, 1820s-1830s
DESCRIPTION:Jindrich Toman: The Jewish Town as Represented Space: Prague\, 1820s-1830s\n\nEarly decades of the nineteenth century provide a number of journalistic and literary sources that describe Prague's Jewish Town. The present talk uses them to determine the range of strategies used in the social construction of urban territoriality. Analysis is based on texts written by local Gentile authors\, Czech and German\, but also on nostalgic descriptions by Jewish authors who were actually born in the Jewish Town. Based on this\, a contrast between insiders and outsiders\, or participation and observation\, can be worked out. Other perspectives revolve around the concept of the border and its subversion.\n\nThe event will start at 6:30pm with a light supper followed by the presentation at 7pm. Please RSVP to slavic@umich.edu\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, please contact the Slavic department (slavic@umich.edu or 734-764-5355) at least 4 days in advance.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Forever Unfinished: Making and Remaking a Public University
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan was founded in 1817 as a public institution\, a concept for which there were few models. What makes a university public? What should it look like? Whom should it serve? Who should have access to its resources\, and where should those resources come from?\n\nThis exhibit explores how students\, faculty\, staff\, politicians\, and citizens have attempted to answer these questions. These stories invite us to imagine U-M's future as a public university based on what we know about its past.\n\nExhibit team: Jonathan Farr\, Nora Krinitsky\, Michelle McClellan\, Gregory Parker\, Emily Price\, Kate Silbert\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester exhibit is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

DESCRIPTION:Cat Crotchett’s current work combines elements of eastern and western cultural patterns in fragments that together form something different than their individual parts. These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts
DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\n\nEndi Poskovic was educated in Yugoslavia\, Norway\, and the United States. His graphic works have been exhibited worldwide and have brought him many notable awards and honors\, including grants and fellowships from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the United States Fulbright Commission\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Norwegian Government\, the Camargo Foundation\, the Flemish Ministry of Culture\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, and the Art Matters Foundation\, among others. Museum collections which hold works by the artist include the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Harvard University Fogg Art Museum\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: PRACTICE SESSION #5
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on view October 23 -27\n\"Practice Sessions\" is part of the University of Michigan's \"Third Century Initiative\,\" which funds experimental pedagogies in a bid to change how teaching and learning happen within the bounds of the institution. Over a five-year period\, ten architectural practices will be invited to Taubman College to run a practice session. Each session centers on an immersive four-day design charette that culminates in a juried review and exhibition. These sessions are not workshops in the conventional sense. Invited practices are not selected to repeat a known and routinized working method in collaboration with students. Instead\, invitees are called to work in an experimental mode\, where everything is subject to the pressures of practice on design: the design of the session topic\, the design of the work space where the session is held\, the design of the way the session itself occupies the institution of Taubman College\, and the design of the thing(s) produced by the practice session.\nPractice Session #5 Opening lecture is on Friday\, October 20\, featuring Débora Mesa and Antón García-Abril\;\nThe workshop runs from October 21-22.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag | Extended Steinmann Relations and Cosmic Galois Theory in Planar N = 4
DESCRIPTION:While traditional methods for calculating scattering amplitudes prove too computationally intensive to be useful at higher loop orders\, a great deal is now known about the analytic and kinematic properties of amplitudes to all orders in planar N=4. This information can be leveraged to construct these amplitudes directly\, by putting together an ansatz of the relevant class of functions and requiring that it share the distinctive properties of a given amplitude. In this talk\, I will describe how this bootstrap-type approach can be used to uniquely determine all six-particle amplitudes in this theory through (at least) five loops\, focusing on how these methods make transparent the Steinmann relations and bear out the predictions of cosmic Galois theory. I will also discuss how these methods can be generalized to quantities of direct relevance to particle physics experiments.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Social Psychology Brown Bag-\"The effect of psychological distance on what we learn and what we learn from\"
DESCRIPTION:I address from the perspective of construal level theory two fundamental questions about human learning: How broadly we generalize what we learn and how large is the scope of experience that we choose to learn from. A series of studies on predictive learning suggests that introducing longer temporal distance and lower probability between the predictor and the outcome\, as well as between the learning experience and its anticipated application increases generalization breadth. I also show some evidence suggesting that people extract broader\, more general lessons from narratives that are more spatio-temporally distal and hypothetical.  A series of studies on decision making suggests that people seek to obtain more and broader experience when they face a more abstract question\, as well as when they make decisions that are more distal in time and when they advise others rather than make decisions for themselves. I discuss these lines of research within the broader context of questions about how people regulate themselves with respect to distal and proximal targets.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Amazing Molihua: Culture and Meaning of China’s Most Well-known Folksong
DESCRIPTION:Internationally known as “Jasmine\,” the song molihua was an East-China folksong of humble beginning. Like many regional folksongs in China whose origins were mostly unknown\, molihua exists throughout the region in numerous versions.   The molihua that most people know today was collected and documented by British diplomats George MaCartney and John Barrow presented in his book Travel in China in late 18th century.  Puccini’s incorporation of it in his opera Turandot in 1924\, further consolidated the tune’s global reputation.  Since then\, molihua has emerged as the most well-known Chinese musical and cultural icon at home and abroad.  This presentation traces the brief history of molihua and describes the different ways that it was being utilized.  Dr. Lau argues hat the shifting meaning of molihua is predicated on what molihua represents against the ever-changing economic and political context of China since the new millennium.    \n\nFrederick Lau is an ethnomusicologist\, flutist\, and conductor whose scholarly interests include a broad range of topics in Chinese\, Western\, and Asian music and cultures.  He is author of Music in China  (Oxford 2008) and co-editor of Making Waves: Traveling Musics in Asia and the Pacific (Uiversity of Hawaii Press\, forthcoming)\, Vocal Music and Cultural Identity in Contemporary Music: Unlimited Voices in East Asia and the West (Routledge 2013)\, Locating East Asia in Western Art Music (Wesleyan 2004). Lau is editor of the book series entitled Music and Performing Arts of Asia and the Pacific\, University of Hawaii Press. Currently\, he is the chair and professor of Ethnomusicology and director of the Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Are Tax Breaks Entitlements?
DESCRIPTION:U. S. federal income tax policies include a large number of provisions widely known as tax breaks or tax loopholes. More specifically they come in the form of deductions\, credits\, exclusions and preferential rates. They have the effect of significantly reducing the income taxes paid (i.e.\, the effective tax rate) by individuals and corporations. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates in 2017 all tax breaks combined will amount to $1.6 trillion. \n\nThis study group for those 50 and over will focus on the political psychology of these tax breaks: the attitudes and behaviors of individuals\, interest groups\, political parties and policymakers in the public policymaking process. Discussion of a large number of specific tax breaks will be included. Information on tax breaks will be distributed by the instructor to provide a foundation for the sessions. \nInstructor Craig Ramsay is an Emeritus Professor of Politics and Government at Ohio Wesleyan University who taught about the politics of economic policymaking for four decades.  This study group will meet for two hours on Wednesday’s from October 25 through November 15.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Irina Tezaur: Next-generation modeling & simulation of large-scale ice sheets towards probabilistic sea-level change projections
DESCRIPTION:Recent observations show that both the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are losing mass at increasingly rapid rates [1]. In its fourth assessment report (AR4)\, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) declined to include estimates of future sea-level change from dynamics of the polar ice sheets due to the inability of ice sheet models to mimic or explain observed dynamic behaviors\, such as the acceleration and thinning then occurring on several of Greenland’s large outlet glaciers [2]. In recent years\, there has been a push to develop “next generation” land-ice models and codes for integration into global Earth System Models (ESMs). Unlike their predecessors\, these codes: (1) are able to perform realistic\, high-resolution\, continental scale simulations\, (2) are robust\, efficient and scalable on next-generation hybrid systems (multi-core\, many-core\, GPU\, Intel Xeon Phi)\, and (3) possess built-in advanced analysis capabilities (e.g.\, sensitivity analysis\, optimization\, uncertainty quantification). This talk will give an overview of the Albany/FELIX (Finite Elements for Land Ice eXperiments) [3] next-generation land-ice dynamical core (dycore) that is under development at Sandia National Laboratories as a part of a Department of Energy (DOE) SciDAC-funded project aimed at providing probabilistic sea-level projections from extreme-scale ice sheet and earth system models. This dycore is currently being integrated in to the DOE’s Acelerated Climate Model for Energy (ACME)\, which will be used to calculate anticipated 21st sea-level change projections\, including uncertainty bounds. It is widely accepted that land-ice behaves like a very viscous\, shear-thinning\, non-Newtonian fluid\, similar to lava flow. Typically\, ice sheets are modeled using a quasi-static model in which a steady momentum-balance system for the ice velocities is coupled to dynamic equations for the ice thickness and temperature. The Albany/FELIX dycore is based on the so-called “First-Order Stokes” equations for the ice momentum balance [4]\, an attractive alternative to the more expensive “Full Stokes” model because of its reduced computational cost. Following an overview of our land-ice model and project\, I will describe some of the algorithms and software we have developed as a part of this project that have contributed to our dycore’s robustness and scalability. These include: robust automatic-differentiation-based nonlinear solvers\, scalable algebraic-multigrid-based iterative linear solvers [5]\, adaptive mesh refinement capabilities\, and stable semi-implicit First-Order Stokes-thickness coupling methods. I will also discuss some of the advanced analysis capabilities in Albany/FELIX\, namely a large-scale inversion approach we have developed for obtaining optimal ice initial conditions [6]\, our workflow towards quantifying uncertainties in land-ice models\, and performance-portability of the Albany/FELIX code to new and emerging architectures using the Kokkos library [7]. I will show results which demonstrate that the Albany/FELIX dycore is scalable\, fast and robust for production-scale land-ice problems on state-of-the-art HPC machines. I will also discuss results from a recent validation study in which Albany/FELIX was used to simulate the Greenland ice sheet during the period 1991-2013 with realistic climate forcing\, and the simulation data were compared with observational data collected by NASA satellites [8]\n\nBio: Dr. Irina Tezaur (f.k.a.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | \nHighlights from Recent LIGO and Virgo Observations\n
DESCRIPTION:Following the first Advanced LIGO data run (O1) in fall 2015\, which included two definitive gravitational wave discoveries of binary black hole mergers\, LIGO commissioners spent much of 2016 working to improve detector sensitivity\, with mixed success. Data taking resumed with the start of the O2 run near the end of 2016 and continued through the summer of 2017\, yielding additional discoveries. For the last several weeks of the O2 run\, the European gravitational wave detector\, Virgo\, also collected data in parallel\, providing not only independent corroboration of detection\, but also dramatically improving source localization via triangulation across the Earth's surface. Highlights from early analysis of the O2 observations will be presented.\n

SUMMARY:Other:Illuminating the single-cell biology of chemical signals in bacterial and immune cells
DESCRIPTION:                                                The current decade has seen several unexpected discoveries of nucleotide-based signals that control the autonomous behavior of bacterial and immune cells. The newfound signaling pathways may provide new ways to combat antibiotic-resistant pathogens and to enhance the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy treatments. However\, critical questions remain about the biochemistry of the signaling enzymes and cell biology of the signals themselves. Tackling these questions requires tracking nucleotide-based signaling molecules in the complex environment of the cell\, which poses a difficult molecular recognition challenge.\nMy lab has taken a structure-based design coupled to high-throughput screening approach and was among the first to develop RNA-based fluorescent biosensors\, or RBF biosensors\, for live cell imaging. Our biosensors exhibit remarkable specificity and affinity for nucleotide-based signals\, are the brightest to date in live cell imaging studies\, and can be rationally reprogrammed to sense new ligands. In this seminar\, I will present the design principles that enable effective allosteric coupling of ligand binding to fluorescence activation of a small molecule chromophore. We have demonstrated performing\, in essence\, in vivo biochemistry experiments to track dynamic effects of endogenous chemical cues and inhibitor compounds on enzyme activity in live bacteria. This approach has revealed a new strategy to combat antibiotic resistance. We also have applied these biosensors to make several biological discoveries\, including a signaling pathway that regulates how some bacteria interact with redox reactive surfaces. Finally\, I will describe another broad application for these biosensors\, as novel high-throughput screening assays for promising enzyme targets in cancers and autoimmune diseases.                        \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nMing Hammond (UC Berkeley)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Seminar in Quantitative Methods (ISQM): Text Preprocessing for Unsupervised Learning: Why It Matters\, When It Misleads\, and What to Do about It
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nDespite the popularity of unsupervised techniques for political science text-as-data research\, the importance and implications of preprocessing decisions in this domain have received scant systematic attention. Yet\, as we show\, such decisions have profound effects on the results of real models for real data. We argue that substantive theory is typically too vague to be of use for feature selection\, and that the supervised literature is not necessarily a helpful source of advice. To aid researchers working in unsupervised settings\, we introduce a statistical procedure and software that examines the sensitivity of findings under alternate preprocessing regimes. This approach complements a researcher's substantive understanding of a problem by providing a characterization of the variability changes in preprocessing choices may induce when analyzing a particular dataset. In making scholars aware of the degree to which their results are likely to be sensitive to their preprocessing decisions\, it aids replication efforts.

SUMMARY:Other:Google: The New Face of Internet Censorship
DESCRIPTION:Public meeting\, Mason Hall room 2306. In an act of political censorship\, Google is blocking Internet traffic to a variety of socialist and left-wing websites\, including the World Socialist Web Site\, Alternet\, Wikileaks\, Counterpunch\, Truth-out\, and Common Dreams. Under the guise of combating “fake news\,” this corporate giant is collaborating with the US government and the Democratic Party to limit access to political opinions that the ruling class deems “incorrect.”\nGoogle’s censorship is part of broader moves to control information on the Internet\, involving Facebook\, YouTube\, Twitter and other corporations. The ruling elite fears that the free flow of information online threatens will encourage the growth of opposition to war\, inequality and the attack on democratic rights.\n\nThis meeting is called by the Socialist Equality Party\, the International Youth and Students for Social Equality\, and the World Socialist Web Site\, which is the censors’ primary target. The meeting will present the facts about Google’s attack on left-wing websites and lay out a plan for fighting censorship by placing the Internet under democratic control.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Historian in the Ghetto: Emanuel Ringelblum and the Oyneg Shabes Archive
DESCRIPTION:During World War II Jews resisted not only with guns but also with pen and paper. Even in the face of death they left \"time capsules\" full of documents that they buried under the rubble of ghettos and death camps. The Ringelblum archive in the Warsaw Ghetto buried thousands of documents. But of the 60 people who worked on this national mission\, only three survived. This will be their story.\n\nPhoto Credit: Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Forever Unfinished: Making and Remaking a Public University
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan was founded in 1817 as a public institution\, a concept for which there were few models. What makes a university public? What should it look like? Whom should it serve? Who should have access to its resources\, and where should those resources come from?\n\nThis exhibit explores how students\, faculty\, staff\, politicians\, and citizens have attempted to answer these questions. These stories invite us to imagine U-M's future as a public university based on what we know about its past.\n\nExhibit team: Jonathan Farr\, Nora Krinitsky\, Michelle McClellan\, Gregory Parker\, Emily Price\, Kate Silbert\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester exhibit is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Majestic | Dream: A Selection of Color Woodcuts
DESCRIPTION:The Confucius Institute at U-M proudly presents “Majestic | Dream\,” a solo exhibition by Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the Penny W. Stamps School of Arts and Design\, University of Michigan. Professor Poskovic’s creative practice considers a range of technologies as a way to explore certain characteristics of printed image: translation\, multiplicity\, seriality. Through his works\, Professor Poskovic seeks to construct representations that suggest broader themes of displacement\, exile\, memory and reconciliation. A frequent visitor to China\, Endi Poskovic\, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, is a great admirer of Chinese and Asian visual and material arts. Poskovic’s work in woodblock relief printmedia reflects his deep fascination and a lasting involvement with Chinese intellectual and creative communities. To celebrate this long and fruitful engagement as a bridge between artistic China and the University of Michigan\, CIUM presents this exhibition.\n\nOver the course of years\, Poskovic has produced several major series of multi-plate color woodcut prints utilizing both established and non-traditional approaches frequently combining analog carving methods with laser engraving from bit-map data files. For this Confucius Institute sponsored exhibition\, Poskovic presents an intimate selection of color woodcuts from two series of works\, “Majestic” and “Dream”\, focusing on landscape imagery informed by real and imaginary topographies\, including several works which are based on his sketches drawn in China. Merging visual image with text\, Poskovic’s “Majestic Series” shifts the reading of the woodcut by providing an unexpected new context and forcing the viewer to continually reinterpret. In “Dream Series”\, Poskovic explores primitive strategies of early cinema to investigate personal and social histories\, shifting cultural identities\, environmental transformation\, migration and alienation.\n\nEndi Poskovic was educated in Yugoslavia\, Norway\, and the United States. His graphic works have been exhibited worldwide and have brought him many notable awards and honors\, including grants and fellowships from the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the United States Fulbright Commission\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Norwegian Government\, the Camargo Foundation\, the Flemish Ministry of Culture\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, and the Art Matters Foundation\, among others. Museum collections which hold works by the artist include the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Harvard University Fogg Art Museum\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Jincheon Art Museum\, South Korea and others.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on view October 23 -27\n\"Practice Sessions\" is part of the University of Michigan's \"Third Century Initiative\,\" which funds experimental pedagogies in a bid to change how teaching and learning happen within the bounds of the institution. Over a five-year period\, ten architectural practices will be invited to Taubman College to run a practice session. Each session centers on an immersive four-day design charette that culminates in a juried review and exhibition. These sessions are not workshops in the conventional sense. Invited practices are not selected to repeat a known and routinized working method in collaboration with students. Instead\, invitees are called to work in an experimental mode\, where everything is subject to the pressures of practice on design: the design of the session topic\, the design of the work space where the session is held\, the design of the way the session itself occupies the institution of Taubman College\, and the design of the thing(s) produced by the practice session.\nPractice Session #5 Opening lecture is on Friday\, October 20\, featuring Débora Mesa and Antón García-Abril\;\nThe workshop runs from October 21-22.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Yuris Dzenis
DESCRIPTION:“Breaking High-Performance Fiber Development Paradigm: Continuous Supernanofibers for Structural and Biomedical Applications”\n\nABSTRACT:  Advanced fibers produced a revolution in structural and functional materials in the 20th Century and are now used in a myriad of applications from aerospace to automotive\, medical\, and sporting goods. However\, there was no major breakthrough in advanced fiber development since the last carbon fiber introduction by the Japanese more than three decades ago. Classical manufacturing techniques for ultrahigh-performance polymer fibers rely on combination of high polymer crystallinity and high degree of macromolecular alignment to achieve superior mechanical properties. As a consequence\, advanced fibers such as Kevlar and Spectra possess extraordinary strength but low strain to failure (<3%) and therefore low toughness. Our recent analysis of electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers (NFs) in the ultrafine (100-250 nm) diameter range (~100 times thinner than conventional advanced fibers) showed extraordinary simultaneous increases in strength\, modulus\, AND toughness. Finest nanofilaments exhibited strength on the par with the best advanced fibers while exceeding their toughness by more than an order of magnitude. Structural investigations showed that this unique and highly desirable mechanical behavior may be due to high degree of macromolecular alignment in conjunction with low crystallinity. We have demonstrated that it is possible to further improve NF mechanical properties by changing nanomanufacturing parameters. Reduction in crystallinity of nanofibers achieved through modified processing resulted in further increases in strain to failure and toughness. Remarkably\, it has also resulted in improvements in NF strength and modulus that were attributed to improved polymer chain alignment as a result of increased drawability. Notably\, the major improvements in mechanical properties were observed in the intermediate (250-500 nm) diameter range. NFs with these larger diameters are easier to produce and handle\, simplifying the upscaling of the nanomanufacturing process. Reported dramatic (2-3 orders of magnitude) simultaneous improvements in mechanical properties of NFs can lead to inexpensive\, simultaneously strong and tough materials for safety critical applications. The proposed structural explanation of the newly discovered NF mechanical behavior challenges the prevailing paradigm in advanced fiber development calling for high polymer crystallinity and can lead to the entirely new class of advanced fibers with ultrahigh toughness\, in addition to strength. Such fibers can ultimately result in ultralight structures with the strength higher than carbon-epoxy composites (the current state-of-the-art) but much higher toughness rivaling that of metals. Recent results on bionanofibers and carbon\, as well as applications of these fibers in hierarchical supercomposites and biomedicine are also discussed.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE Defense: Conjugate Analysis of Two-Dimensional Ablation and Pyrolysis in Rocket Nozzles
DESCRIPTION:The development of a methodology and computational framework for performing conjugate analyses of transient\, two-dimensional ablation of pyrolyzing materials in rocket nozzle applications is presented. This new engineering methodology comprehensively incorporates aero-thermal-chemical processes relevant to nozzles and other high-temperature components\, making it possible\, for the first time\, to rigorously capture the strong interactions and interdependencies that exist between the reacting flowfield and the ablating material. By basing thermal protection system engineering more firmly on first principles\, improved analysis accuracy can be achieved.\n\nThis computational framework couples a multi-species\, reacting flow solver to a two-dimensional material response solver. Five different treatments of the surface energy balance at the ablating wall\, with increasing levels of fidelity\, are investigated. The Integrated Equilibrium Surface Chemistry treatment computes the surface energy balance and recession rate directly from the diffusive fluxes at the ablating wall\, without making transport coefficient or unity Lewis number assumptions\, or requiring pre-computed surface thermochemistry tables. This method can inherently account for the effects that recession\, wall temperature\, blowing\, and the presence of ablation product species in the boundary layer have on the flowfield and ablation response. As a result\, improved agreement with experimental surface recession data is obtained.\n\nPublications\n\nPeer-Reviewed Journal Article:\nPeter G. Cross and Iain D.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:RELIGION IN THE CUBAN REVOLUTION
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Pedraza\, is a Professor of Sociology and American Culture at UM\, where she received a B.A. and M.A.\; her Ph.D. in Sociology is from the University of Chicago. She was born and raised in Cuba\, from where she immigrated with her family. Her work seeks to understand the causes and consequences of immigration as a historical process that forms and transforms persons and nations. She is the author of three books and numerous articles.\n\nIn this talk Professor Pedraza traces the changing relationship of the church and state during the Cuban revolution. Over the course of nearly 60 years\, the Cuban revolution has had several distinct relationships to the Church\, ranging from open confrontation and silencing to incorporation. Changing its definition from an atheist society in the early years of the revolution to a secular society now\, today it is more possible to be religious and to practice one’s faith in Cuba than it was earlier in this half century.\n\nThis is the last in a six-lecture series. The subject is Cuba: Our Neighbor in Transition. The next lecture series will start November 2\, 2017. The title is The Common People in Modern Politics.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Rus' in Celluloid: Takes on Andrei Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev
DESCRIPTION:How can a film based on the life of a world-famous icon painter about whom virtually nothing is known be of use to students studying the history and culture of medieval Russia? In this lecture\, Michael Flier will demonstrate how the director\, Andrei Tarkovsky\, uses the presence of different characters and contexts to generate parallel but distinct interpretations of one and the same episode.\n\nPresented with support from the Departments of History\, Slavic Languages and Literatures\, Judaic Studies\, and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gloss: Modeling Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Focusing on the prominent role of women as the subject of photography\, GLOSS: Modeling Beauty explores the shifting ideals of female beauty that pervade European and American visual culture from the 1920s to today. The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S. Lee employ the visual strategies of traditional fashion photography\, while offering alternative narratives to mainstream notions of female beauty.\n\nLead support for Gloss: Modeling Beauty is provided by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part II: Abstraction
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the University of Michigan’s 2017 Bicentennial\, Victors for Art: Michigan’s Alumni Collectors celebrates the deep impact of Michigan alumni in the global art world. \n\nThis two-part exhibition presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. Part II: Abstraction\, on view in the A. Alfred Taubman Gallery July 1 through October 29\, showcases modern and contemporary art by Pablo Picasso\, Alberto Giacometti\,\nLouise Nevelson\, Christo\, Lorna Simpson\, José Parlá\, and Do Ho Su\, among others. It also features a fifth-century Korean roof end tile and an Amish quilt\, as well as a work by an Inuit master—thus inviting visitors to explore the pleasures of abstraction across a wide range of media\, eras\, and genres. UMMA extends Part II: Abstraction into the Irving Stenn\, Jr. Family Gallery from August 19 through November 26\, 2017\, with the site-specific installation of Random International’s LED-light and motion-sensing dynamic sculpture\, Swarm Study / II. Victors for Art offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\n\nLead support for Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Thursday Lecture | Dynasties and Democracy in Japan
DESCRIPTION:Political dynasties exist in nearly all democracies\, but have been conspicuously prevalent in Japan\, where over a third of all legislators and two-thirds of all cabinet ministers in recent years come from families with a history in parliament. Such a high proportion of dynasties in a developed democracy is unusual\, and has sparked concerns over whether the democratic processes in Japan are working properly. In his forthcoming book\, Dynasties and Democracy: The Inherited Incumbency Advantage in Japan\, Smith introduces a comparative theory to explain the persistence of dynastic politics in democracies like Japan\, focusing in particular on electoral rules and party recruitment processes. Original legislator-level data from twelve democracies and candidate-level data from Japan are used to explore the implications of this theory for candidate selection\, election\, and cabinet promotion\, as well as the consequences of dynasties for democratic representation. \n    \nDaniel M. Smith is Assistant Professor in the Department of Government at Harvard University\, where he is also affiliated with the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies\, the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs\, the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies\, and the Institute for Quantitative Social Science. His research focuses on the impact of political institutions\, especially electoral systems and candidate selection processes\, on aspects of democratic representation and behavior in Japan and Western Europe.\n\nCo-sponsored by the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership.
