Exhibition | Urban Biographies, Ancient and Modern (August 24, 2018 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 52176-12520784@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, August 24, 2018 9:00am
Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

Location: Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Plants interact with both a variety of community members (other plants, the microbial community, pollinators, herbivores) and are exposed to a variety of abiotic environmental stressors (drought and changing climate, human-mediated agents of selection). These interactions are often examined at the phenotypic level by evolutionary ecologists whereas the mechanistic basis of such interactions are detailed by molecular geneticists; longer-term outcomes of such interactions are assessed by paleobiologists. It is rare, however, that plant-environment interactions are examined across scales within the same system, i.e. from genes, to molecular mechanism, phenotype, fitness, and deeper evolutionary patterns across time. The aim of this conference is to highlight the work of prominent evolutionary ecologists, molecular geneticists, ecophysiologists, and paleobiologists at the University of Michigan and beyond that examine similar plant-interaction phenomena but at very different scales of study. Our overall goal is to stimulate new collaborations and novel takes on overlapping phenomenon studied across scales.

The Michigan Anthropology Colloquia Series: “Culinary Spectacles: Gastro-Politics, Race and Species in Peru” (September 28, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/51711 51711-12205471@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 28, 2018 3:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Department of Anthropology

Peru is in the midst of what many have called a gastronomic revolution. Dominant narratives in the country and beyond celebrate the fusion of Peru’s diversity (cultural, racial, culinary) as a pathway to social inclusion and Peruvian economic success. While culinary fusion has been a key part of this moment, the rise of chef Virgilio Martínez—famously known as the chef who “cooks ecosystems”—has expanded discussions (gastronomic and political) to highlight Peruvian biodiversity, indigeneity and cultural “authenticity.” In this talk I explore this moment as one that illuminates the contemporary aesthetics of what Peruvian theorist Anibal Quijano has termed “the coloniality of power.” While there may indeed be some material benefits for emerging young chefs and some indigenous producers, I argue that this gastronomic boom in fact perpetuates gendered and racial hierarchies in the country, and obscures violence against marginalized human and non-human bodies.

Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

The Michigan Anthropology Colloquia Series: "The sensory ecology of fruit selection by wild capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus imitator) in Sector Santa Rosa, Costa Rica" (October 1, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/51705 51705-12202560@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 1, 2018 3:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Department of Anthropology

"Sensory systems are our interface with the external world. Longstanding hypotheses concerning primate origins hinge on the relationships among sensory systems, diet and activity pattern and revealing these dynamics is important to understanding primate adaptive radiation. I ask how primates use their senses to find and select foods, and how diet and habitat have shaped vision, olfaction, taste, touch and hearing over the course of primate evolution. Here, I will discuss my collaborative research on the sensory ecology of wild capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus imitator) in the tropical dry forests of northwestern Costa Rica over the past 14 years. Data from behavioral, genetic, life history, and visual modelling approaches provide compelling evidence that color vision polymorphism is maintained by balancing selection, and that monkeys with different sensory phenotypes have distinct ecological advantages and disadvantages. Trichromatic (color-normal relative to human) capuchins have higher foraging efficiency on many ripe fruits, while dichromats (red-green colorblind) are more efficient at capturing surface-dwelling insects. Capuchins also integrate their senses of vision, olfaction, touch and taste in complex ways during foraging, and their sensory gene repertoire is diverse. Additionally, I will discuss how plant properties shape primate behavior - variation in the frequency of fruit sniffing can be linked to the chemical profile and odors of fruits as they ripen, as well as presence/absence of haptic and color variation. Investigation of primate sensory ecology is still in its infancy; I end by highlighting promising avenues of future research in this dynamic and enthralling area."

The Michigan Anthropology Colloquia Series presents speakers on current topics in the field of anthropology.

Social Transformation Through Public Engagement (October 8, 2018 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54845 54845-13645318@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 8, 2018 2:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: National Center for Institutional Diversity

This two-part event will convene the campus community to explore alignments between two Presidential initiatives, build recognition for DEI-focused public engagement, and mobilize our communities for future action.

Leaders who are actively engaged with the broader public will discuss how they are working to address today’s critical social justice issues and will share perspectives on how students, staff and faculty can most effectively build partnership outside of the university to drive social change. The panel will be introduced by President Mark Schlissel and moderated by Earl Lewis.

Panelists include Mary Jo Callan (director of the Ginsberg Center); Abdul El-Sayed (former Democratic candidate for Michigan governor and former executive director of the Detroit Health Department and health officer for the City of Detroit); Jim Leija (director of education and community engagement at the University Musical Society); Angela Reyes (executive director and founder of the Detroit Hispanic Development Corporation); and Luis Trelles (producer of Radio Ambulante at NPR and 2018 Knight-Wallace Fellow)

Following the panel, please join a series of working discussions on critical issues on DEI-focused engagement and formulate action plans to support future efforts.

Sponsored by the National Center for Institutional Diversity; the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; the Office of Academic Innovation; and the Alumni Association.

Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

ais un abus de tout autre importance. . . est qu'on se presse trop de les faire parler, comme si l'on avait peur qu'ils n'apprissent pas à parler d'eux-mêmes (Jean- Jacques Rousseau, Émile ou de l’Éducation, 1762)

Figuring Émile as his pupil, Rousseau’s primer on education argues against Locke’s Enlightenment missive to begin engaging children in verbal reasoning at an early age. Useless, he argues: leave them to their own devices and they will flourish linguistically, morally, and intellectually. More than three centuries later, this essay revives this argument in light of a 21st century ideology that privileges intensive reflective dialogue between caregivers and young children as the bedrock of normal neurocognitive development and children’s talk as evidence of knowledge. This ideology has taken hold in US middle-class households and developmental psychology scholarship, motivating global biopolitical governance of the speaking bodies of economically disadvantaged caregivers and infants in the first months of life. The analysis weighs the complicated entailments of elevating not just a young child’s detached reflectivity but verbal displays of such reflectivity as a biological capacity waiting to be nurtured versus Western civilization’s handmaiden to rationality, scientific progress, capitalism, and the formation of the free ethical subject.

The Michigan Anthropology Colloquia Series presents speakers on current topics in the field of anthropology.

The contacts they made with both pristine island ecologies and indigenous peoples dramatically changed the scope of human history in myriad ways that we are only beginning to understand. What environmental and social reasons influenced how humans traveled over open-ocean and how is archaeology and other scientific fields helping to decipher these clues? Here I examine how computer modeling, archaeological research, and other lines of evidence are providing answers to these questions, with a special focus on events that occurred in the Pacific and Caribbean."

The Michigan Anthropology Colloquia Series presents speakers on current topics in the field of anthropology.

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

Department Colloquia | Keith Riles Collegiate Professorship Lecture (November 28, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52542 52542-12848850@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 28, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Department Colloquia

A century ago Albert Einstein realized that his newly created General Theory of Relativity implied that gravity propagates like light. These gravitational waves are minute disturbances of space itself, which can arise from distant and massive but compact bodies, such as black holes and neutron stars. Now that these ghostly waves have been detected by the LIGO and Virgo interferometers, physicists and astronomers are confirming Einstein's predictions (as usual), while probing some of the most exotic objects in the Universe. Insights from discoveries made so far will be presented, along with the potential for new discoveries that will make gravitational waves critical to the the next century of astronomy and cosmology.

The lecture will be in the Rackham Amphitheatre on the 4th floor.

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

EEB Friday Museums Seminar - A life on the move: Unraveling the mysterious evolution of fish migration (November 30, 2018 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57721 57721-14272047@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 30, 2018 2:00pm
Location: Research Museums Center
Organized By: Herbarium

Migration is a widespread phenomenon among animals and has a profound influence on the evolution of species traits. Diadromous fishes are an extreme example of migration, moving between marine and freshwaters, often traveling thousands of kilometers for feeding and reproduction. Diadromous fishes include iconic species such as salmon, eels, shad, lamprey and sturgeon, yet the origins and evolutionary consequences of diadromy remain elusive. In this talk I will explore the evolution of diadromy spanning population to phylogenetic scales. I will evaluate a widely accepted hypothesis that links the origins of diadromy with productivity by integrating phylogenetic, biogeographic and global productivity data. Using phylogenetic comparative methods I will investigate the adaptive landscape of diadromous fishes to determine whether intraspecific variation predicts macroevolutionary phenotypic patterns in migratory fishes. Finally, using more than 100 years of natural history collections, I will trace the origin and evolutionary ecology of alewives introduced in the Great Lakes and compare these populations to native migratory populations from the East Coast of North America.

"Developmental plasticity is an important mechanism for evolutionary adaptation. This talk explores how developmental plasticity in the human stress response system shapes patterns of health and disease in contemporary environments. It will also consider how an evolutionary perspective can inform our approach to public health intervention to reduce the impacts of adverse environments on health."

The Michigan Anthropology Colloquia Series presents speakers on current topics in the field of anthropology.

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

The Michigan Anthropology Colloquia Series: "Mississippian Migration and Polity Formation in Central Alabama: Conflict or Communitas?" (January 18, 2019 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/51871 51871-12274331@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 18, 2019 3:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Department of Anthropology

"Mississippian cultural practices appear somewhat later in Central Alabama than in other regions of the Southeastern United States. Although evidence of trade and exchange between Late Woodland communities in the region and Mississippian groups is present, it appears as though local Woodland groups were reluctant to fully embrace what archaeologists have defined as “classic" Mississippian culture. This talk centers on archaeological research at several Terminal Woodland sites in Central Alabama, highlighting cases where interactions with Mississippian groups generated archaeological remains that can be interpreted as either evidence of conflict or communitas as initial Mississippian settlement of the region took place."

The Michigan Anthropology Colloquia Series presents speakers on current topics in the field of anthropology

"In March, 2018, voters in Sierra Leone went to the polls to elect a new president. These were arguably the first post-war elections in this West African state in which the dominant parties did not threaten to remobilize veterans of the country's long recent war. But this did not mean the end of violence in Sierra Leonean political campaigns. Violence and the threat of violence remain an integral part of the political imaginary in national politics. Drawing on film footage from the final rally days of the various political parties, I explore in this talk the fundamental role of violence in Sierra Leone's political aesthetics."

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

The Michigan Anthropology Colloquia Series: "Cooperation without Submission: The Juris-diction of Significance in Hopi-U.S. Relations" (February 8, 2019 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/56314 56314-13878513@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 8, 2019 3:00pm

The founding principles of U.S. law regarding Native Americans, first articulated in the 1830s, define them as “domestic dependent nations” who retain powers of self-government but who are also in a “state of pupilage” to the federal government, in a relationship like that of a “ward to its guardian.” This ambiguous status has offered cover for the shifting winds of U.S. political sentiment, leading sometimes to calls for the assimilation of Native peoples, sometimes for their rights to self-determination. Despite these shifts, tribes like the Hopi Nation in Arizona persist in their claims to being sovereign nations who nonetheless enjoy a unique trust relationship with the U.S. Since the 1990s, and passage of laws like Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, this relationship has been executed pursuant to rules requiring “meaningful tribal consultation” whenever U.S. agencies or their grantees propose actions that may impact Native peoples and their resources, particularly those of substantial natural and/or cultural significance. Disagreement persists about meaningful tribal consultation and its efficacies however. This paper deploys insights from indigenous studies, and legal and linguistic anthropology to analyze the details of the consultations I have observed, since 2012, between Hopi Nation officials and their non-native counterparts in the U.S. Forest Service and the Field Museum of Natural History. Unpacking those interactions in light of Hopi theories of knowledge and authority, through a theory of legal language as juris-diction, I argue that these consultations enact Hopi and Anglo-legal norms of “significance” in complex, contradictory ways. I suggest that understanding “meaningful tribal consultation,” and the settler legal status of Native Nations more generally, requires understanding how indigenous nations enact the conditions of their authority through juris-diction and the relations and refusals to settler colonialism this inevitably entails.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

"Nepali Sign Language (NSL) has primarily been represented in print through pictorial images of signing persons. This talk draws on long-term ethnographic research with Nepali signers to explore the affordances of drawings for representing and generating linguistic form, reference, connotation, and entanglement with other modes of semiosis. I focus specifically on post-Maoist Civil War changes in visual representations of the figures of personhood portrayed performing signs in NSL texts; the role of both drawings and the act of drawing in recent initiatives to include previously marginal elderly novice signers into deaf life; and my own efforts to follow deaf artists in incorporating drawings into my toolkit for recording, analyzing, and sharing representations of signing practices. Across these contexts, how does the production and interpretation of pictorial images function as a resource for creating indexical icons that can performatively call forth new conditions? In addition to analyzing social change among deaf networks in Nepal, this talk shows that ethnographic attention to drawing can contribute to conversations about how linguistic anthropology can forge connections with visual anthropology in order to help our research processes and products embody our commitment to analyzing multimodal total semiotic facts."

19th Distinguished University Professorship Lecture Series - Animal Pharm: The Ecology and Evolution of Medication Behaviors in Animals (February 19, 2019 4:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/60224 60224-14849126@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 19, 2019 4:00am

Lecture abstract
Plants vary substantially in their quality as food for herbivores. The availability of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates differ markedly from one plant species to the next. Moreover, plants contain a dazzling array of “secondary metabolites” that are often toxic to consumers. However, in low doses, plant toxins can also serve as medicines, protecting herbivores from agents of disease. Like humans, many other animals exploit the natural pharmaceuticals in plants to mitigate the effects of parasite infection. This lecture will explore the ecology and evolution of medication behaviors in animals. As herbivores forage for food, they must manage the competing demands of gaining adequate nutrition, avoiding their predators, and choosing appropriate medicines from the Great Green Pharmacy. Medication behaviors can be therapeutic, in which medicines are consumed only after infection, or prophylactic, in which medicines are consumed prior to infection. Medication behaviors can also serve to protect the individual actor (self-medication) or their relatives (kin or social medication). Examples will show how different ecological conditions favor the evolution of different medication behaviors. Concentrations of toxins in plants also vary substantially based on environmental conditions, including soil quality, air quality, and biotic interactions. Therefore, the forces of global environmental change threaten the pharmaceutical use of plants by animals. Conservation of the Great Green Pharmacy is vitally important to the biological diversity of life on Earth.

"This talk reflects on the controversy on the Navajo Nation of changing the name of Kit Carson Drive to the Navajo place name Tséhootsooí. I outline the structure and use of traditional Navajo place names and then show that Navajo place names have had a renaissance in signage for shopping centers and elsewhere on the Navajo Nation. I then detail the controversy over a proposal to change a street name in Fort Defiance. Place names are not neutral, but fully implicated in concerns about who has and does not have the right (and power) to name. In debates about linguistic relativity, questions of the inequalities of language need to be engaged. This, I argue, is linguistic relativity with an attitude--taken out of the free-floating ahistorical itemizable lexical unit and put back--where it has always been--in the lives of people."

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

Microaggressions: Conceptual, Research, and Practice Implications (March 14, 2019 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61829 61829-15212856@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 14, 2019 3:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: National Center for Institutional Diversity

A resurgence of scholarly and popular attention to the concept of microaggressions has prompted new research as well as its applications, such as training and workshops on microaggressions across college campuses and other organizational and community settings. However, definitions, understandings, and measurement of this concept vary due to its inherent complexity involving interactions of contexts and individuals. This panel discussion will engage the growing body of literature on microaggressions.

Presenters are recipients of NCID’s Pop-up Grant on microaggressions and are members of the Diversity Scholars Network. These scholars take up the concept of microaggressions using various theoretical and methodological approaches. They will compare and contrast new findings to extant literatures, illuminate critical questions, and advance new theoretical/conceptual frameworks.

Presenters: Ahlam Lee (Assistant Professor of Leadership Studies at Xavier University), Cassaundra Rodriguez (Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas), and Rosalie Rolón-Dow (Associate Professor of Education at the University of Delaware)

Early Career Scientists Symposium: Stable isotopes in ecology, evolution and conservation (March 16, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59920 59920-14797491@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, March 16, 2019 8:00am
Location: Biological Sciences Building
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

We are pleased to announce this year's Early Career Scientist Symposium, to be held on Saturday, March 16, 2019, in the Biological Sciences Building on the campus of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. This location is the new building that houses the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology; the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology; the Museum of Paleontology; as well as the Natural History Museum.

This year’s theme is Stable Isotopes in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation. Stable isotopes of common and trace elements have a wide range of applications in modern and ancient ecosystems. They offer important tools for investigating plant and animal physiology, dietary ecology, life history, food-web analysis, nutrient cycling, migration, and paleoecology, with new isotope systems, new approaches, and new kinds of questions emerging in every decade. Our speakers in the 2019 symposium have expertise in terrestrial and marine systems, modern and ancient ecosystems, and animals, plants, and microbes. The symposium will feature topics for a broad range of interests in ecology, evolution, earth history, and conservation.

We are pleased to announce our lineup of speakers, including our keynote speakers: Jim Ehleringer (plant physiology and ecology), University of Utah, and Tamsin O’Connell (diet and climate in humans and animals), Cambridge University. You can read more about all of the speakers under the speaker tab on the ECSS website.

Graduate and undergraduate students and postdocs from all universities and disciplines are invited to present their work during a lunchtime poster session, and can indicate so when they register. University of Michigan students from EEB and Paleo are particularly encouraged to show their own work and seek feedback from the scholars in attendance. Read about poster specifications on the website.

Registration is open for ECSS 2019 on website linked below.

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

Affirmative Action, Asian Americans, and the Harvard Case (March 20, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58349 58349-14937161@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 20, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: National Center for Institutional Diversity

Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard represents a landmark case in affirmative action history, representing the first time that Asian Americans have been brought forth as plaintiffs in high-profile affirmative action litigation. Julie J. Park, who served as a consulting expert on the side of Harvard in the case, will discuss how Asian Americans fit into the debate about race-conscious admissions. She will discuss content from her new book, “Race on Campus: Debunking Myths with Data,” in which she argues that Asian Americans benefit from such policies. She will discuss the role of social science data in the Harvard trial, including both the possibilities and limitations of statistical analyses in examining claims of discrimination.

From the patterns of genomic variation in individuals living today, phylogeographic analyses provide a window into a species’ past. When viewed in a comparative context, examples of concordant genetic structure across assemblages of species, despite their biological difference, have reinforced a conceptual and methodological focus on abiotic factors in shaping species’ histories. This emphasis has also promoted an adherence to generic expectations of phylogeographic concordance irrespective of the composition of communities and a tendency to attribute discord to the idiosyncracies of history. However, from the increased sampling densities and unprecedented amounts of genomic data, what is emerging in comparative phylogeography is a complex of concordant and discordant genetic structure across community members. In my talk, and with reference to computational advances and recent developments at the molecular level, I will highlight how discordant patterns of genetic variation may arise from difference in the traits and ecologies of taxa. That is, discord across species may reflect deterministic processes linked to species-specific traits. In addition to reviewing the methodologies that are propelling this promising area of research, and based on examples of comparative phylogeographic studies, I will show how considering the contribution of taxon-specific traits, rather than adhering to the concordance-discordance dichotomy, can provide more meaningful insights about the evolutionary history of organisms. These studies emphasize that to understand how the divergence process may differ among geographic regions, or why genetic structure may differ among members of communities, both biotic and abiotic factors need to be considered jointly.

The Michigan Anthropology Colloquia Series: "Lemnian Earth and Foreign Forms: ceramics at Koukonissi in the Late Bronze Age" (April 1, 2019 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/51872 51872-12274522@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 1, 2019 3:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Department of Anthropology

"Only a short distance offshore from Troy, the Bronze Age settlement on the islet of Koukonissi, Lemnos offers important evidence for the local production and consumption of Mycenaean pottery during the 14th century BCE, a time ostensibly of little contact of the North Aegean with the Mycenaean world, with the best evidence for Mountjoy’s “Upper Interface” being represented by Troy (phase VI late). This paper presents new evidence produced by integrated petrographic, chemical and stylistic ceramic analysis for Koukonissi as an outpost of the Southern Aegean, and contrasts this with its neighbor Troy on the Asia Minor coast.

At Troy during LH IIIA2, the bulk of the Mycenaean pottery seems to have been imported, mainly from the Argolid/NE Peloponnese, with assumed local pattern painted wares comprising only a small part of the total assemblage and standard Mycenaean wares (fine plain) being rare. In contrast, typical Mycenaean shapes were commonly imitated at Troy in local fabrics (grey and tan wares).

At Koukonissi, standard Mycenaean pottery, such as fine plain wares, are locally produced and well represented. Most importantly, the common local ware (Red Slipped pottery) seems relatively unaffected by the Mycenaean repertoire. This lies in contrast to other parts of the Eastern Aegean and Troy, where hybrid shapes and decorations are present.

This new identification of previously undocumented, substantial production of Mycenaean pottery on Lemnos has far-reaching implications, as some of the Eastern Aegean Mycenaean chemical compositional groups may have been produced on the island, something quite unexpected. The evidence from Koukonissi, therefore, offers the potential to alter our view of the interface between Mycenaean and other cultures. It suggests the existence of important differences at a social, economic and cultural level between Troy and Koukonissi, and a diversity of interaction with the southern Aegean and Mycenaean Greece between different sites in the North Aegean."




Mini-Bio:

Peter Day teaches and researches in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Sheffield, running a research group on ceramics which has close ties with the the National Centre for Scientific Research ‘Demokritos’ in Greece and the University of Barcelona.

He gained his BA in Archaeology at the University of Southampton under Colin Renfrew and Peter Ucko as Heads of Department. Having trained in Ceramic Petrography with David Peacock, he worked as Research Fellow in Ceramic Petrology at the Fitch Laboratory, British School at Athens from 1984-1986. He subsequently carried out doctoral research in the Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge, under the supervision of Sander van der Leeuw, on ceramic production in East Crete during the Neopalatial period of the Bronze Age and the twentieth century. He held a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Cambridge before a two year postdoctoral position at NCSR ‘Demokritos from 1991-1993.

From 1994 he has been based in Sheffield, working on analytical approaches to ceramics, both in terms of provenance and especially the reconstruction of ceramic technologies. From 1998-2002, he was Co-ordinator of the GEOPRO European Training Network and has been involved in a succession of other major, collaborative projects funded by the European Union. His research usually has a Mediterranean focus, though he has also been involved in a range of ceramic-based projects in Asia, Africa and the Americas. Although basically an anthropological archaeologist and prehistorian, Peter has been gradually civilized by a number of postgraduates and postdoctoral researchers that he has had the privilege of working with.

Abstract: On the one hand, there's science: the clear-eyed, hard-nosed, the pragmatic empiricist. On the other hand, there's math: the poet, the dreamer, the hunter of wild abstractions. How do these two intellectual traditions regard one another? And why is it that the most useless-sounding math - from knot theory to meta-logic to non-Euclidean geometry - often turns out to be the most useful? Prerequisites: basic human curiosity; tolerance for bad drawings; the willingness to participate in a silly debate. In short: all are welcome!

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

Curators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts

What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
