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
Organized By: 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?

Not only that, but through partnerships with other schools on campus and through specific programs that we administer, we create multidisciplinary action-based learning opportunities across U-M. New and existing students interested in poverty alleviation, healthcare access, sustainability, human rights and diversity should attend, to discover all the opportunities to make a difference in the places where they live and work, at their school, and across the world.

This event is a tabled event with multiple constituents, and there will be light hors d’oeuvres served.

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?

Donia Human Rights Center Distinguished Lecture. Blood Oil: Tyrants, Violence, and the Rules that Run the World (September 10, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/53104 53104-13235260@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 10, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Donia Human Rights Center

The Soviet Union, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Al Qaeda, ISIS, Syria, Russia... for 40 years the West's most serious foreign threats and crises have come from oil states. Oil states are also at higher risk for systemic human rights violations. What drives the 'oil curse' is an archaic law that forces us to fund oppressive regimes and extremist groups whenever we shop. Only by abolishing the law that makes us finance violence and repression abroad can we hope for a more stable, more just, and more peaceful world.

Leif Wenar's book, Blood Oil: Tyrants, Violence, and the Rules that Run the World, will be available for purchase before and after the lecture. A book signing will follow the lecture.

Leif Wenar holds the Chair of Philosophy and Law at King’s College London. After graduating from Stanford he went to Harvard to study with John Rawls, Robert Nozick, and T.M. Scanlon. He has been a visiting professor at Stanford, Princeton, and ANU, and a fellow of the program on Justice and the World Economy at the Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs. He is the author of Blood Oil: Tyrants, Violence, and the Rules that Run the World and Beyond Blood Oil: Philosophy, Policy, and the Future. His work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, Foreign Affairs, CNN, and the playbill for the White Light Festival at Lincoln Center.

This event is co-sponsored by: African Studies Center, Department of Philosophy, Department of Sociology, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, Department of Anthropology, Department of Political Science, and Program in International and Comparative Studies.

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

SOLD OUT
Flint was already a troubled city in 2014 when the state of Michigan—in the name of austerity—shifted the source of its water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint River. Soon after, citizens began complaining about the water that flowed from their taps—but officials rebuffed them, insisting that the water was fine. Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, a pediatrician at the city’s public hospital, took state officials at their word and encouraged the parents and children in her care to continue drinking the water—after all, it was American tap water, blessed with the state’s seal of approval.

But a conversation at a cookout with an old friend, leaked documents from a rogue environmental inspector, and the activism of a concerned mother raised red flags about lead—a neurotoxin whose irreversible effects fall most heavily on children. Even as circumstantial evidence mounted and protests grew, Dr. Mona knew that the only thing that could stop the lead poisoning was undeniable proof—and that to get it, she’d have to enter the fight of her life.

What the Eyes Don’t See is the inspiring story of how Dr. Mona—accompanied by an idiosyncratic team of researchers, parents, friends, and community leaders—proved that Flint’s kids were exposed to lead and then fought her own government and a brutal backlash to expose that truth to the world. Paced like a scientific thriller, this book shows how misguided austerity policies, the withdrawal of democratic government, and callous bureaucratic indifference placed an entire city at risk. And at the center of the story is Dr. Mona herself—an immigrant, doctor, scientist, and mother whose family’s activist roots inspired her pursuit of justice.

Join Dr. Mona Hanna-Attish for a talk, Q&A, and book signing of What the Eyes Don't See.

Literati Bookstore will be on-hand to sell copies of the book.

Exhibition | Urban Biographies, Ancient and Modern (September 16, 2018 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 52176-12520807@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, September 16, 2018 1:00pm
Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: 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?

Trend Analysis of SWMP Temperature with Missing Data (September 19, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/53031 53031-13202727@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 19, 2018 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

The National Estuarine Research Reserves’ System-wide Monitoring Program (SWMP) data can contribute to research and discussion on climate change. The treatment of temperature data is of particular concern when applied to the analysis of interannual trends. Seasonal cycles can impose fluctuations that greatly exceed diurnal, tidal, or event-scale fluctuations, and seasonally skewed distribution of missing data biases calculations of annual or seasonal means.

This webinar will provide insights on encoded algorithms for measuring temperature trends, including the conservative approach of replacing missing temperature data with smoothed day-of-the-year averages and seasonal decomposition as well as the benefits and disadvantages of alternative approaches.

About the Speaker:
Dr. Thomas Grothues has a Research Faculty appointment as a fish ecologist at Rutgers University and begins as Research Coordinator for Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve System in Fall 2019. He has been using SWMP data in peer-reviewed publications about fish habitat use, migration, and recruitment since 2007.

Tom Friedman has been writing for several decades about the political, social and environmental issues that affect all of us. We will read and discuss his latest book,” Thank You for Being Late” in which he outlines how the onslaught of technology, globalization, climate change, loss of biodiversity and the impact of their interactions are affecting everyone.

He proposes an optimistic path to the future by showing that if we slow down, dare to be late and use the time to re-imagine changes we can make, the world could be a better place without miracle cures. Please read p.1 -37 for the first session.

Instructor Gerry Lapidus will lead these two hour discussion sessions for those 50 and over on Mondays from September 24 through December 3.

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Semester in Detroit

What is Semester in Detroit?
Twice each year, Semester in Detroit brings a new student cohort to live, learn, work and engage in the city. Fall semester runs from September through December, and spring/summer semester runs from May through July. Applications for the spring and fall semesters are accepted on a rolling basis, but final deadlines are detailed on the Applying to SID page.

Through an intensive urban studies curriculum that explores 20th century Detroit history, urban planning, the non-profit sector, creative writing, and more, students learn about the city in a comprehensive way that isn’t available through single course offerings. As an experiential program, the classes are not the only way students learn of the city - yet they provide vital tools and insight to take with students through their own experiences in Detroit.


Want to learn more?
Please join us for our mass interest meeting on September 24 5-6PM in the East Quad Greene Lounge, if you want to learn more about the program❗❗❗We can talk to you about Scholarships, Housing, Application, and Credits!
Food and drinks will be provided! 🍕🍕

If you can’t make it to this informational meeting, or want to learn more about the program, please come to any of the Recruitment Team's drop-in office hours in 1800 East Quad.

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?

Green Life Sciences Symposium 2018: Plant-Environment Interactions Across Scales (September 27, 2018 8:15am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53208 53208-13287163@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 27, 2018 8:15am
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.

AE 585 Seminar Series - Relevance of Aircraft and Ship Wakes to Modern Problems of Ocean Remote Sensing and Climate Change (September 27, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54412 54412-13583287@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 27, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building
Organized By: Aerospace Engineering

The subject of wake dynamics has been studied for well over 100 years. Control-volume analysis and boundary-layer theory have led to methods for computing drag and estimating basic properties of wakes, such as decay and spreading rates, whereas empirical flight testing expanded knowledge important for safe separation of aircraft during landing and takeoff. In general, it is well known that wakes from practical configurations are comprised of momentum sources and sinks, vortical structures, turbulence, and gravity waves. Furthermore, spatiotemporal description of wake evolution is a function of vehicle configuration, operational details (such as speed, heading, and altitude/depth), and the structure and properties of the environment.

Today, wake physics is important for a number of modern problems, including ocean remote sensing, aviation-induced cloudiness, and even the use of bubbly ship wakes for geoengineering Earth's future climate. The hallmark of these problems is their multi-physics and multi-scale nature which presents significant challenges to computational modeling and design of useful experiments. In this talk, these problems will be introduced and discussed, including relevance, formulation, status, and prognosis.

Nam Center Colloquium Series | Revolutionary Landscapes: Ecology, Power, and Anarchism in Modern Korea (September 27, 2018 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54096 54096-13528365@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 27, 2018 4:30pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Nam Center for Korean Studies

Where should we locate the origins of modern Korea’s environmental problems? Many assume that environmental issues emerged in 1960s South Korea when heavy industrialization in urban areas visibly started to pollute air and water. This presentation, however, traces the origins of environmental issues in agricultural modernization. Vigorous modernization efforts in agricultural food production from the late nineteenth century to the present left an ecological footprint on the Korean peninsula, as governments on the Korean peninsula and diverse figures and groups from the United States and Japan introduced non-native species and new systems of knowledge and practice. Responding to these top-down modernization drives, Korean communities and associations organized environmental campaigns to build new “ecological systems of life” that would restore local autonomy and governance based on the principles of anarchism. This presentation argues that we need to spatially re-conceptualize “environmental problems” to shift a focus from industrialization and cities to agriculture and the agrarian area in writing a critical environmental history.

Albert L. Park is the Bank of America Associate Professor of Pacific Basin Studies at Claremont McKenna College. As a historian of modern Korea and East Asia, his current research project focuses on the roots of environmentalism in modern Korean history and its relationship to locality and local autonomy. This book project is tentatively titled Imagining Nature and the Creation of Environmental Movements in Modern Korea. He is the author of Building a Heaven on Earth: Religion, Activism and Protest in Japanese Occupied Korea and is the co-editor of Encountering Modernity: Christianity and East Asia. Dr. Park is the Co-Principal Investigator of EnviroLab Asia—a Henry Luce Foundation-funded initiative at the Claremont Colleges ($1.4 million award) that carries out research on environmental issues in Asia through a cross disciplinary lens. He is the recipient of four Fulbright Fellowships for Research, an Abe Fellowship from the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) and fellowships from the Korea Foundation and the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Chicago. A native of Chicago, he received his B.A. with honors from Northwestern University, an M.A. from Columbia University and Ph.D. in History from the University of Chicago.

About the book:
A political science analysis of the feasibility and sustainability of carbon pricing, drawing from North American, European, and Asian case studies.

Climate change, economists generally agree, is best addressed by putting a price on the carbon content of fossil fuels—by taxing carbon, by cap-and-trade systems, or other methods. But what about the politics of carbon pricing? Do political realities render carbon pricing impracticable? In this book, Barry Rabe offers the first major political science analysis of the feasibility and sustainability of carbon pricing, drawing upon a series of real-world attempts to price carbon over the last two decades in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Rabe asks whether these policies have proven politically viable and, if adopted, whether they survive political shifts and managerial challenges over time. The entire policy life cycle is examined, from adoption through advanced implementation, on a range of pricing policies including not only carbon taxes and cap-and-trade but also such alternative methods as taxing fossil fuel extraction. These case studies, Rabe argues, show that despite the considerable political difficulties, carbon pricing can be both feasible and durable.

About the author:
Barry Rabe is the J. Ira and Nicki Harris Family Professor of Public Policy and the director of the Center for Local, State, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP) at the Ford School. He is also the Arthur Thurnau Professor of Environmental Policy and holds courtesy appointments in the Program in the Environment, the Department of Political Science, and the School for Environment and Sustainability. Barry was recently a Public Policy Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and continues to serve as a non-resident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. His research examines climate and energy politics and his newest book, Can We Price Carbon? (MIT Press) was released in spring 2018. He has received four awards for his research from the American Political Science Association, including the 2017 Martha Derthick Award for long-standing impact in the fields of federalism and intergovernmental relations. Barry co-chaired the Assumable Waters Committee of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from 2015-2017 and has served on recent National Academy of Public Administration panels examining the Departments of Commerce and Interior as well as the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.

The entire policy life cycle is examined, from adoption through advanced implementation, on a range of pricing policies including not only carbon taxes and cap-and-trade but also such alternative methods as taxing fossil fuel extraction. These case studies, Rabe argues, show that despite the considerable political difficulties, carbon pricing can be both feasible and durable.

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?

STS Speaker. Alternative Facts and States of Fear: Reality in the Age of Climate Fictions (October 8, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54115 54115-13528456@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 8, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Science, Technology & Society

This talk is concerned with the nature of reality in an age of “alternative facts.” It is a case study situated in the realm of mass market fiction that seeks to examine how postmodern techniques so often associated with STS have been deployed to undermine claims to scientific authority. Specifically, I look to the work of Harvard MD-turned-author, Michael Crichton, and his 2004 novel, State of Fear. What can Crichton’s particular form of cultural production teach us not only about specific scientific controversies, but an era now referred to as post-truth and an American president whose dominant political motives are a tangle of profit-making and fear-mongering? My approach does not attempt to purify fact from fiction or provide clarity amidst what Guy Debord called the “society of the spectacle,” in which representation is preferable to reality, truth is considered profane, and only illusion is sacred. Rather, I will discuss practices and techniques that have contributed to a reinvention of reality and argue that a rigorously feminist STS provides invaluable resources for navigating the present.

Biosketch: Joanna Radin is associate professor of History of Medicine at Yale where she is also affiliated with the Departments of History and of Anthropology as well as the programs in American Studies; Ethnicity, Race & Migration; and Religion & Modernity. Her research examines speculative projects of the post-war life and human sciences. She has particular interests in feminist, queer, and indigenous STS and science fiction. She is the author of Life on Ice: A History of New Uses for Cold Blood (Chicago 2017), a history of the low-temperature biobank and co-editor, with Emma Kowal, of Cyropolitics: Frozen Life in a Melting World (MIT 2017), which considers the technics and ethics of freezing across the life and environmental sciences.

Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Multi Ethnic Student Affairs - MESA

This film will premiere on Indigenous People’s Day - Monday October 8th - on Free Speech TV and in communities across Turtle Island, the U.S., Canada and Europe. At U-M, the free screening will take place in the Forum Hall (Palmer Commons).

Film Description:
From 2016 – 2017 Standing Rock water protection camps located at the heart of Turtle Island became the largest assembly of Indigenous peoples in recent history. Gathered nations confronted big energy’s extreme extraction through the strength of their ceremonies, histories, and connections. Despite being met with violence, many who brought their best intentions to this historic fight continue to expand their love and sovereignty - while they shift our world away from the trauma and isolation of modern days.

The film is based around prophecy of the Eagle and Condor that originates with nations from the South and features ceremony held at the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) site on Indigenous People’s Day, October 10th, 2016. The ancient prophecy predicted the epic Standing Rock water protection actions – and continues to challenge all to identify and unite our gifts and power.

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?

Note: ASL interpretation will be provided.

The world seems to be in crisis. The planet is in peril. Oceans are poisoned with human waste. Racism is on the rise. Virulent nationalism has resurfaced across the globe. Religion is shaky and ungrounded. Technology is reaching into our lives instead of enriching it. We seem to have reached an impasse on borders and the role of government. Humans usually develop shared stories to understand moments like these. The current narrative that is shared by religion, science, and politics is about the end of it all—the end of the world. But is that what is happening?

Abdul-Matin will address how to confront this time of extraordinary upheaval, a time in which the failures of our economic and political systems have become clear and the harm is deeply and widely felt. In this moment of upheaval, of dissolution and awakening, what is unravelling? What is possible that wasn’t possible before? What is the worldview that we can awaken and cultivate now? What seeds did (y)our ancestors plant for Deep Democracy, rooted in Beloved Community, that you could water and cultivate now?

He will share amazing examples of work happening right now that seeks to nurture whole people and whole communities as we transition away from a world of domination and extraction to one of regeneration, resilience, and interdependence.

Ibrahim Abdul-Matin is the author of "Green Deen: What Islam Teaches About Protecting the Planet." He has advised two NYC mayors on sustainability policy, among other issues, and has also worked with Fortune 500 companies on sustainability and innovation. He has spoken and written for a variety of outlets on diverse topics including Islam and sustainability, organizing and activism, and land use process. A former on-air sports contributor to WNYC’s The Takeaway, Abdul-Matin has appeared on CNN, Fox News, and Al Jazeera, among others. And in 2015 he was named one of the 40 Under 40 Rising Stars in New York City Politics by City & State Magazine.

About the Jill S. Harris Memorial Lecture: The Jill S. Harris Memorial Endowment was established in 1985 by Roger and Meredith Harris, Jill’s parents, her grandparents Allan and Norma Harris, and friends. The fund was established in memory of Jill, a resident of Chicago and undergraduate student at U-M who passed away due to injuries from an auto accident.

The fund brings a distinguished visitor to campus each year who will appeal to undergraduates interested in the humanities and the arts. The visitor may either be a fellow of the institute for an extended period of time or invited for a few days to present the annual lecture.The visiting fellow will usually interact with undergraduates, informally and through visits to classes or by other means by which exchanges with undergraduates may be promoted.

EEB Thursday Seminar: Evolution of the essential gap gene giant causes hybrid inviability in Drosophila (October 11, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/49650 49650-11487535@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 11, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Biological Sciences Building
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Hybrids have reduced fitness because of faulty interactions among genes that have diverged between the pure species. The most extreme hybrid defect is inviability. Hybrids therefore provide an easy to screen phenotype to identify what genes and molecular pathways have functionally diverged as genomes differentiate. Here I identify the Drosophila melanogaster allele of the highly conserved and essential gap gene giant (gt) as a key genetic determinant of hybrid inviability in crosses with D. santomea. The presence of this allele in D. melanogaster/D. santomea hybrids causes an abdominal ablation not seen in either pure species. giant is a key developmental regulator whose role in anterior-posterior specification of the dipteran embryo is conserved over 100 million years. The interaction of giant with a second allele, tailless,tll, is involved in the hybrid defects observed in these Drosophila hybrids. These results indicate that even genes with crucial developmental roles that are conserved over vast evolutionary time scales can experience functional evolution that leads to inviability of hybrids

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Late in the 19th century, Michigan had more millionaires than nearly every other state. The names of those lumber barons are part of Michigan’s story: David Whitney, Arthur Hill, Henry Sage, William Atwood, Charles Hackley and Henry Crapo.
Lumber was “green gold”, worth more than the gold from California’s Gold Rush. The way of life for the lumberjacks or shanty boys as they called themselves was unique to them.
Everything at the lumber camp had a name: widow-maker, Gabriel’s horn, river hogs, swampers, skidders, big wheel, log mark, and the most important person, cookee (cook.)
This Study Group for those 50 and over will be held Friday 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. October 12.

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?

Not Separate from the Street: Nancy Blum and Public Art Installation (October 19, 2018 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54327 54327-13572279@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 19, 2018 4:30pm
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

The Robertson Lecture is an endowed annual event of the LSA Residential College, and is a lasting gift of the first Dean of the RC, James Robertson. The lecturer is traditionally a notable alumna/us of the RC, someone impacting their chosen field(s) in ways congruent with the philosophy of the College. The 2018 Robertson Lecture will be delivered at the Keene Theater in East Quadrangle on October 19th by Nancy Blum, class of '85, a Brooklyn-based artist who is known for her public art commissions and works on paper. In addition to graduating from the RC with majors in Psychology and Women’s Studies, she received an MSW from the U-M School of Social work and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her current work is installed primarily out of the gallery, not separated from the street but integrated into it, with a particular interest in sites of transit in cities and within hospital settings. Her recent commissions include medicinal wildflower windows at the San Francisco General Hospital acute care unit; large, graceful birds in flights of migration/immigration integrated into three light-rail stations in Minneapolis/St. Paul; and over-sized yellow flower sculptures sprouting from a rainwater filtration green space at a bus loop outside Philadelphia.

In her Robertson lecture, Nancy will share anecdotes about these and other works, and take us behind the scenes of her in-progress installation at an MTA train station in NYC. She'll explore how her multiple interests take root in public art, and she'll give us a sense for how she forged her own path as an artist - a journey, she says, that began at the Residential College, notably thanks to mentoring from her ceramics professor, Susan Crowell.

Following the Lecture, please join us for a reception for the artist at the RC Art Gallery, located on the first floor of East Quadrangle. Refreshments will be served. An exhibit of Nancy's drawings will be on display at the same gallery through November 9th, (M-F 10am-5pm, free admission).

WATCH THIS LECTURE from your internet browser during its simulcast, 10/19 from 4:30-5:30pm EST at the link below.

The New England NERRs developed and delivered a workshop on sea level rise and salt marshes, strengthening NERRS connections while providing an important information sharing opportunity for the larger community. The workshop increased knowledge of the regional status and trends of salt marsh condition; increased awareness of partnership and collaboration opportunities; improved connections between research, management, and restoration sectors; created a more robust information sharing network; and increased awareness of NERRs as unique sites suitable for long-term research and management “test beds” for management strategies.

Luzinterruptus: "Literature vs. Traffic" Post-Event Discussion (October 24, 2018 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54082 54082-13521848@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 24, 2018 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Members of the undercover Spanish art collective Luzinterruptus join us for a discussion about the Oct. 23 "Literature vs. Traffic" installation.

About the installation:

This October, the Institute for the Humanities is shutting down Liberty Street near U-M campus. We’re going to reuse thousands of discarded books, turning them into an illuminated pathway for “Literature vs. Traffic,” a large-scale art installation by Spanish undercover art collective Luzinterruptus.

Ann Arbor joins Toronto, New York, and Melbourne, as we feature--for one night only--the brilliance of 10,000 books and thousands of LED lights. What was just a street will become a beautiful installation, as we bring the power of art, education, the written word, and free thought to the entire Ann Arbor community by essentially “paving” Liberty St. with thousands of glowing books.

This is a grass-roots project and your participation is essential!

Want to play a part in this amazing campus and community-wide project? We need:

Volunteers: Community and campus groups and individuals to volunteer to work with the artists to prep & attach lights to books (Oct 15-23), and the day of the event (Oct 23);

Donations: Books that would otherwise be recycled or thrown away;

Visitors: Come view the extraordinary installation, and help us extend the life of a book by taking one (or more) home (Oct. 23 5-11pm).

Small quantities of books can be dropped off at the Institute for the Humanities office at 202 S. Thayer. We can also pick up larger quantities of books. Read more on our website at www.lsa.umich.edu/humanities, or email luzinterruptus@umich.edu to volunteer, schedule a book pick-up, or with questions.

Exhibition | Urban Biographies, Ancient and Modern (October 25, 2018 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 52176-12520846@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 25, 2018 9:00am
Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: 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?

Organized By: 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?

FellowSpeak: "‘Tempest-tost’?: Climate, Disaster, and Migration to America in the Age of Sail" (November 6, 2018 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54056 54056-13521820@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 6, 2018 12:30pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

A 30 min. talk by Sam White (Institute for the Humanities visiting professor and professor of History, Ohio State University) followed by Q & A.

Accelerating global warming has raised dire warnings of tens or hundreds of millions of "climate refugees" in the coming decades. But what could we learn from climatic variations, disasters, and human migrations of past centuries? This talk will examine the current state of research on historical climate and migration and offer examples from the presenter's previous and current research on European migration to colonial North America. The presentation will make the case that climate played a significant role in population movements of the past, and may again in the near future. However, the history of climate and migration to America suggests the link was never simple or straightforward. Each migration event had its specific reasons and circumstances, which we need to consider in order make sense of climatic vulnerabilities and human decisions.

Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Five Channel Video Installation
13 Minutes, 27 Seconds.

Deluge is a culmination of Mendel’s ten years of work on the Drowning World project, shooting video and stills in thirteen different countries. It depicts a variety of individual stories, positioned with a synchronous global narrative in a way that is both personally intimate and deeply political. In all his years of responding to floods and making many journeys he has shot a vast archive of video footage, which is fully activated in this presentation for the first time.

About Gideon Mendel and his Drowning World project:
Gideon Mendel came of age as a photographer in South Africa in the 1980’s and identified strongly as a ‘struggle photographer’. This marked him and his subsequent career has been notable for his engagement with three of the crucial political and social issues that have faced his generation. These are the struggle against apartheid, HIV/AIDS in Africa and Climate Change.

A leading contemporary photographer, Gideon Mendel's intimate style of image making and long-term commitment to projects has earned him international recognition and many awards. He was shortlisted for the Prix Pictet Prize 2015 and recently has won both the inaugural Jackson Pollock Prize for Creativity and the Greenpeace Photo Award 2016.

His on-going project ‘Drowning World, explores the human dimension of climate change by focusing on floods across geographical and cultural boundaries. By highlighting the personal impact of flooding he evokes our vulnerability to global warming questioning our sense of stability in the world.

The work began in 2007, when Mendel photographed floods in the UK and in India within weeks of each other. He was deeply struck by the contrasting impact of these events, and the shared experiences of those affected.

Since then he has endeavoured to travel to flood zones around the world visiting Haiti (2008), Pakistan (2010), Australia (2011), Thailand (2011), Nigeria (2012), Germany (2013), The Philippines (2013), The UK (2014), India (2014), Brazil (2015), Bangladesh (2015), the USA (2015 and 2017) and France (2016 and 2018).

As the work progressed photographing floods became both a literal and allegorical means of documenting the tension between the personal and the global effects of climate change. Each location added has intensified the narrative impact of the endeavour.

Drowning World now consists of four parallel and connected narrative elements: Submerged Portraits, Flood Lines, Watermarks, and Deluge.

The University of Michigan Presents Symposium: Shaping Future Cities (November 9, 2018 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/56965 56965-14052737@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 9, 2018 9:00am
Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

The new technologies and development practices that are transforming cities operationally, socially, and spatially create opportunities and challenges for architecture and planning. Disruptive private-sector innovations like ridesharing open up new options, but also new problems. Ubiquitous sensing raises questions about data privacy and ownership. Technology- enabled services are changing our experience of the city, yet exclude many and expand existing social divides.

This day-long symposium at the University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning convenes leaders in practice and academia from across and beyond North America to assess the implications of change and describe compelling strategies for shaping future cities.

What are the differences among competing smart city paradigms? How can architects and planners integrate emerging technologies in ways that promote equity and broaden civic agency?

To address these questions, we must transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries because the implications of technology are far reaching and interconnected—encompassing issues of sustainability, resilience, design, spatial experience, racial and social equity, and more. The strategies that public officials, built environment professionals, and the private sector use to improve urban life must not only integrate data and analysis, but also reconcile conflicting stakeholder positions, leverage innovations, and advocate for inclusion.

At the Shaping Future Cities Symposium, urban practitioners, designers, and developers draw on insights from leading-edge projects and interrogate competing methodologies to show how we can plan and design better cities.

Sustainability and Development Conference (November 9, 2018 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/52746 52746-12993422@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 9, 2018 10:00am
Location: Dana Natural Resources Building
Organized By: School for Environment and Sustainability

Sustainable development, as a concept and call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and guarantee human well-being, is perhaps the greatest challenge facing humanity. The complexity of the meanings of sustainable development have meant that many scholars, researchers, decision makers, and practitioners see in it diverse ways in which to aspire for and achieve societal goals. Scholarly research, student training, and new opportunities for meaningful change continue to increase, especially with the United Nations-sponsored Sustainable Development Goals finding traction with governments and NGOs alike.
In collaboration with the journal World Development, this international conference on Sustainability and Development seeks to bring together a diverse and interdisciplinary constituency to engage with the best approaches and means to implement the Sustainable Development Goals and assess progress towards them.

We welcome abstracts for oral presentations, lightning talks, panel sessions, posters, and workshops. Abstracts must address a conference theme and follow the abstract guidelines. The submission of full papers (from those whose abstracts are accepted) will be strongly encouraged, and the best 25 papers will be published as a special issue.

We are also accepting applications for financial assistance for students and scholars from lower-income countries.

Submissions are due July 15, 2018.

"Deluge" Opening Reception & Artist Conversation (November 9, 2018 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54112 54112-13528452@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 9, 2018 5:00pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

South African photographer Gideon Mendel will discuss his work and current installation, "Deluge," with U-M Institute for the Humanities curator Amanda Krugliak, followed by a reception.

About the installation:

Five Channel Video Installation
13 Minutes, 27 Seconds.

Deluge is a culmination of Mendel’s ten years of work on the Drowning World project, shooting video and stills in thirteen different countries. It depicts a variety of individual stories, positioned with a synchronous global narrative in a way that is both personally intimate and deeply political. In all his years of responding to floods and making many journeys he has shot a vast archive of video footage, which is fully activated in this presentation for the first time.

About Gideon Mendel and his Drowning World project:
Gideon Mendel came of age as a photographer in South Africa in the 1980’s and identified strongly as a ‘struggle photographer’. This marked him and his subsequent career has been notable for his engagement with three of the crucial political and social issues that have faced his generation. These are the struggle against apartheid, HIV/AIDS in Africa and Climate Change.

A leading contemporary photographer, Gideon Mendel's intimate style of image making and long-term commitment to projects has earned him international recognition and many awards. He was shortlisted for the Prix Pictet Prize 2015 and recently has won both the inaugural Jackson Pollock Prize for Creativity and the Greenpeace Photo Award 2016.

His on-going project ‘Drowning World, explores the human dimension of climate change by focusing on floods across geographical and cultural boundaries. By highlighting the personal impact of flooding he evokes our vulnerability to global warming questioning our sense of stability in the world.

The work began in 2007, when Mendel photographed floods in the UK and in India within weeks of each other. He was deeply struck by the contrasting impact of these events, and the shared experiences of those affected.

Since then he has endeavoured to travel to flood zones around the world visiting Haiti (2008), Pakistan (2010), Australia (2011), Thailand (2011), Nigeria (2012), Germany (2013), The Philippines (2013), The UK (2014), India (2014), Brazil (2015), Bangladesh (2015), the USA (2015 and 2017) and France (2016 and 2018).

As the work progressed photographing floods became both a literal and allegorical means of documenting the tension between the personal and the global effects of climate change. Each location added has intensified the narrative impact of the endeavour.

Drowning World now consists of four parallel and connected narrative elements: Submerged Portraits, Flood Lines, Watermarks, and Deluge.

Exhibition | Urban Biographies, Ancient and Modern (November 10, 2018 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 52176-12520862@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, November 10, 2018 1:00pm
Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: 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?

Lead Curator: Christopher Ratté
Co-Curators: Lisa Nevett, Nicola Terrenato, and Kathy Velikov
