David Cope: Player of Invisible Keys (October 22, 2018 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/55790 55790-13777583@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 22, 2018 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Celebrate the work of Michigan poet David Cope, once described by Allen Ginsberg as one of the "leading lights of the next generation." This exhibit draws on drafts, proofs, and other documents from Cope's archive to offer a glimpse into his poetic and editorial process.

Working most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff, Carl Rakosi, and George Oppen, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally, for more than forty years, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine, The Big Scream, providing a venue for more than 200 poets, including both big names names and younger, lesser-known poets. Earlier this year, Ghost Pony Press released Cope’s eighth poetry collection: The Invisible Keys: New and Selected Poems.

On view during Special Collections Research Center hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Celebrate the work of Michigan poet David Cope, once described by Allen Ginsberg as one of the "leading lights of the next generation." This exhibit draws on drafts, proofs, and other documents from Cope's archive to offer a glimpse into his poetic and editorial process.

Working most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff, Carl Rakosi, and George Oppen, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally, for more than forty years, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine, The Big Scream, providing a venue for more than 200 poets, including both big names names and younger, lesser-known poets. Earlier this year, Ghost Pony Press released Cope’s eighth poetry collection: The Invisible Keys: New and Selected Poems.

On view during Special Collections Research Center hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

Dr. Lisa Budreau will be speaking on the saga of the First World War dead and the efforts of the living to honor their heroes. It’s a staggering, often-macabre tale steeped in the pathos and human drama of a democratic nation struggling to find meaning in the aftermath of this war. Dr. Budreau will unravel the complex logistical, political and social dynamics that unfolded from 1919 until the early 1930s, and explore the development of the heritage landscapes that men created in an attempt to remember the apocalypse of their era. Dr. Budreau's illustrated talk will be based on her book, Bodies of War, World War 1 and the Politics of Commemoration in America, 1919-1933.

Working most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff, Carl Rakosi, and George Oppen, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally, for more than forty years, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine, The Big Scream, providing a venue for more than 200 poets, including both big names names and younger, lesser-known poets. Earlier this year, Ghost Pony Press released Cope’s eighth poetry collection: The Invisible Keys: New and Selected Poems.

On view during Special Collections Research Center hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

In a 2018 study of social media use in America, the Pew Research Center found that 18-to 24-year-olds "stand out for embracing a variety of platforms and using them frequently." They use multimodal platforms more frequently than their elders and they are more likely to use platforms that are visually dominant (YouTube, SnapChat, and Instagram).

Are their skills in visual and multimodal communication evident in their academic engagement? How do our disciplinary curricula help them develop technical skills and prepare them to be critical practitioners in visual culture? What challenges and opportunities lie on the horizon, why does it all matter - and how does the study of comics apply?

Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection (November 12, 2018 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/56679 56679-13960690@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 12, 2018 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects; bilingualism in Egypt; books read by the Egyptian monks; and the works of Shenoute the Great, the most important author of Coptic literature.

This exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

Join us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

Organized By: University Library

The Monastery of Apa Shenoute, commonly known as the White Monastery, situated in Upper Egypt near Sohag, once possessed the largest Coptic library in Egypt. Unfortunately, none of the books that belonged to this monastery have survived intact. As the manuscripts were torn to pieces and sold to various individuals, fragments of them are scattered today in different collections around the world. The University of Michigan features prominently as one of the most significant repositories of White Monastery fragments. Using some of these, our workshop aims to document the content of the White Monastery library, offering at the same time a glimpse into the methods of reconstructing dismembered manuscripts out of scattered fragments.

This workshop will be presented by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The workshop is offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

To celebrate the opening of the new exhibit Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection, we invite you to join us for short lectures from our two guest curators, followed by an opportunity to explore the exhibit. Refreshments will be provided.

Dr. Frank Feder from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities will discuss the reconstruction of the Coptic Bible. The Coptic translation of the Old Testament is one of the oldest Christian versions of the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint (LXX). Manuscripts with Coptic biblical texts can be dated back to the late third and early fourth century. Thus, the Coptic manuscripts are often older than the extant Greek manuscript transmission. Moreover, the earliest Coptic texts show different dialectal varieties. The extreme dispersal of the Coptic manuscripts, mainly in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, over about 106 different collections in Europe and North America has prevented until today a complete reconstruction and edition of the Coptic Old Testament. The Göttingen Academy project created a Virtual Manuscript Room to virtually reunify the dispersed manuscripts for a digital edition on the internet.

Dr. Alin Suciu, also from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities, will discuss the White Monastery. Only fragments and dismembered leaves have survived from the manuscripts of the White Monastery, which once possessed the most important Coptic library in Egypt. The vestiges of these manuscripts are scattered today in numerous collections all over the world. This lecture discusses the way in which the first fragments of the White Monastery manuscripts emerged from their cache in the second half of the 18th century to be integrated in Western collections. He will also show how scholars have virtually reconstructed the library in modern times, and the impact of this endeavour on our knowledge of Coptic literature.

This event is offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

David Cope: Player of Invisible Keys (November 14, 2018 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/55790 55790-13777606@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 14, 2018 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Celebrate the work of Michigan poet David Cope, once described by Allen Ginsberg as one of the "leading lights of the next generation." This exhibit draws on drafts, proofs, and other documents from Cope's archive to offer a glimpse into his poetic and editorial process.

Working most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff, Carl Rakosi, and George Oppen, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally, for more than forty years, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine, The Big Scream, providing a venue for more than 200 poets, including both big names names and younger, lesser-known poets. Earlier this year, Ghost Pony Press released Cope’s eighth poetry collection: The Invisible Keys: New and Selected Poems.

On view during Special Collections Research Center hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection (November 14, 2018 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/56679 56679-13960692@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 14, 2018 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects; bilingualism in Egypt; books read by the Egyptian monks; and the works of Shenoute the Great, the most important author of Coptic literature.

This exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

Join us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

Ginger Schultz, Department of Chemistry at the University of Michigan, describes an investigation of student information-seeking behaviors during problem-based organic chemistry laboratory experiments. This study used discourse analysis of student planning sessions and student work to understand how students apply information literacy skills when solving organic chemistry problems. She then describes how their findings were used to inform the design of a set of online learning modules developed in collaboration with Dr. Ye Li to promote the development of skills in an organic chemistry context.

Dr. Ginger Shultz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at U-M. She completed her doctorate in polymer chemistry at the University of Oregon and transitioned to education-focused research through a teaching postdoc in Chemistry at U-M. In 2013 she was named a U-M Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow and she was hired as faculty in 2016. Shultz’s research is focused on investigating student learning in problem-based organic chemistry laboratory courses, how graduate students instructors develop teaching knowledge, and writing-based strategies for learning in STEM.

Emergent Research Series events are aimed at better understanding the new ways in which research relies on the work of libraries and information professionals, and where cutting-edge research pushes past what libraries currently support.

Deep Dive into Digital and Data Methods for Chinese Studies (November 15, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57043 57043-14075025@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 15, 2018 12:00pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Light lunch will be provided. Free and Open to the Public.

The recent rise of medical history as an analytical lens to study the history of early religions raises new questions: What is medicine? In what sources can we find it?

This presentation introduces a case study of how to adapt digital tools to study medicine and religion in China, focusing on the distribution of drug terms in religious and medical sources from the Six Dynasties (220-589). After constructing a text database and attaching bibliographic data about the texts, Docusky can track the distribution of large term sets (I collected 12,000 drug names) according to time, space, sect and genre. This facilitates entirely new kinds of historical argument. I will demonstrate three examples, showing 1) new evidence of Buddhist transmission of medicine to China and the new historical questions it leads to, 2) how to use the toolset to make context-discovery of unknown sources, and 3) using geographic data of materia medica to argue for regional origins of primary sources. The paper further considers the philological violence done to primary sources when working in digital media.

Dr. Michael Stanley-Baker 徐源 is assistant professor in History and at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He researches medicine and religion in early medieval and contemporary China. He developed tools for the study of religion and medicine in China with National Taiwan University and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin, and is now developing them for the study of multi-lingual primary sources for medical history across the classical world. He also serves as Vice-President of the International Association for the Study of Traditional Asian Medicine (IASTAM).

Designed by the Research Center for Digital Humanities and CSIE Digital Humanities Lab of NTU in Taiwan, DocuSky is a digital humanities research platform created specifically for researchers of texts, to suit various needs and different stages of research. It provides tools to build up their own personal database of texts for text processing, tagging, text reorganizing and contextualizing, text-mining, GIS and visualization.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn to use Docusky and Palladio for large scale analysis of the full-text Buddhist and Daoist canons. You will learn how to search for large term sets, determine their statistical distribution by chapter, and then sort these chapters according to time period, intellectual genre, sectarian attribution and place of origin. You will then learn how to produce simple but powerful visualizations to show the similarities or differences between term clusters in different scriptural groups. This toolset is open access, and the Daoist and Buddhist canons data file will be made available as an open-source, citable document.

This workshop requires that you first register here: https://ttc.iss.lsa.umich.edu/ttc/sessions/datamining-the-daoist-and-buddhist-canons-with-docusky/ It is open to faculty, students, postdocs and visiting scholars at the University of Michigan.

Organized By: University Library

Join us for the opening of the exhibit Sinking Cities: Documenting the realities of climate change in cities around the world.

By the end of the century oceans are predicted to rise between .3 and 2.5 meters. This will result in major flooding in coastal cities around the world. The Sinking Cities Project aims to document this inundation through the stories of residents and the changing landscape of their cities. This exhibit provides a platform to begin understanding the effects of rising sea levels along the coasts of Indonesia, Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Italy and the United States.

Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection (November 17, 2018 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/56679 56679-13960695@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, November 17, 2018 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects; bilingualism in Egypt; books read by the Egyptian monks; and the works of Shenoute the Great, the most important author of Coptic literature.

This exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

Join us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Celebrate the work of Michigan poet David Cope, once described by Allen Ginsberg as one of the "leading lights of the next generation." This exhibit draws on drafts, proofs, and other documents from Cope's archive to offer a glimpse into his poetic and editorial process.

Working most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff, Carl Rakosi, and George Oppen, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally, for more than forty years, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine, The Big Scream, providing a venue for more than 200 poets, including both big names names and younger, lesser-known poets. Earlier this year, Ghost Pony Press released Cope’s eighth poetry collection: The Invisible Keys: New and Selected Poems.

On view during Special Collections Research Center hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Sinking Cities: Documenting the realities of climate change in cities around the world (November 24, 2018 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/57458 57458-14193555@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, November 24, 2018 8:00am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit provides a platform to begin understanding the effects of rising sea levels along the coasts of Indonesia, Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Italy and the United States.

By the end of the century oceans are predicted to rise between .3 and 2.5 meters, which will result in major flooding in coastal cities around the world. The Sinking Cities Project aims to document this inundation through the stories of residents and the changing landscape of their cities.

This photo and video exhibit was produced by Marcin Szczepanski, visual communications director at Michigan Engineering, and Frank Sedlar, Michigan Engineering alumnus.

Join us for an exhibit opening event on November 16th, 4:00-7:00 p.m., in the Clark Library.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Celebrate the work of Michigan poet David Cope, once described by Allen Ginsberg as one of the "leading lights of the next generation." This exhibit draws on drafts, proofs, and other documents from Cope's archive to offer a glimpse into his poetic and editorial process.

Working most often in the Objectivist tradition of Charles Reznikoff, Carl Rakosi, and George Oppen, David Cope has a particular gift for descriptive detail and for juxtaposing the the intimacy of daily life with commentary on the arc of current events and the particularity of personal relationships with the universality of human experience. He received the Pushcart Prize for “The Crash” in 1977 and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters for On The Bridge (1986). Additionally, for more than forty years, Cope has edited and published a small press literary magazine, The Big Scream, providing a venue for more than 200 poets, including both big names names and younger, lesser-known poets. Earlier this year, Ghost Pony Press released Cope’s eighth poetry collection: The Invisible Keys: New and Selected Poems.

On view during Special Collections Research Center hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection (November 26, 2018 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/56679 56679-13960704@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 26, 2018 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects; bilingualism in Egypt; books read by the Egyptian monks; and the works of Shenoute the Great, the most important author of Coptic literature.

This exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

Join us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

This exhibit provides a platform to begin understanding the effects of rising sea levels along the coasts of Indonesia, Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Italy and the United States.

By the end of the century oceans are predicted to rise between .3 and 2.5 meters, which will result in major flooding in coastal cities around the world. The Sinking Cities Project aims to document this inundation through the stories of residents and the changing landscape of their cities.

This photo and video exhibit was produced by Marcin Szczepanski, visual communications director at Michigan Engineering, and Frank Sedlar, Michigan Engineering alumnus.

The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library.

On December 10, 1948, in the aftermath of the devastation of World War II, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a roadmap to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere. The complete Declaration is comprised of a Preamble and 30 Articles. In honor of the 60th anniversary of this document, we are exhibiting 14 Articles in the form of illustrated prints by Meredith Stern. These contemporary prints are intended both to make people aware of this rights roadmap and to show its urgent relevance in our contemporary political moment.

Meredith Stern is an artist currently based in Providence, RI, and a member of the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, a decentralized network of 30 artists committed to social, environmental, and political engagement. Stern created a total of 28 sets of these linocut prints in 2017, of which one is held in the Joseph A. Labadie Collection in the Special Collections Research Center.

Transformations of Ovid in Late Antiquity: A Conversation with Ian Fielding and Peggy McCracken (December 5, 2018 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54747 54747-13642967@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 5, 2018 5:30pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Ian Fielding (classical studies) and Peggy McCracken (French, women's studies, comparative literature) discuss Fielding's new book "Transformations of Ovid in Late Antiquity" followed by Q & A.

About the book:
Ovid could be considered the original poet of late antiquity. In his exile poetry, he depicts a world in which Rome has become a distant memory, a community accessible only through his imagination. This, Ovid claimed, was a transformation as remarkable as any he had recounted in his Metamorphoses. Ian Fielding's book shows how late antique Latin poets referred to Ovid's experiences of isolation and estrangement as they reflected on the profound social and cultural transformations taking place in the fourth, fifth and sixth centuries AD. There are detailed new readings of texts by major figures such as Ausonius, Paulinus of Nola, Boethius and Venantius Fortunatus. For these authors, Fielding emphasizes, Ovid was not simply a stylistic model, but an important intellectual presence. Ovid's fortunes in late antiquity reveal that poetry, far from declining into irrelevance, remained a powerful mode of expression in this fascinating period.

The Author's Forum is a collaboration between the U-M Institute for the Humanities and the University of Michigan Library.

On December 10, 1948, in the aftermath of the devastation of World War II, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a roadmap to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere. The complete Declaration is comprised of a Preamble and 30 Articles. In honor of the 60th anniversary of this document, we are exhibiting 14 Articles in the form of illustrated prints by Meredith Stern. These contemporary prints are intended both to make people aware of this rights roadmap and to show its urgent relevance in our contemporary political moment.

The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects; bilingualism in Egypt; books read by the Egyptian monks; and the works of Shenoute the Great, the most important author of Coptic literature.

This exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

On December 10, 1948, in the aftermath of the devastation of World War II, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a roadmap to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere. The complete Declaration is comprised of a Preamble and 30 Articles. In honor of the 60th anniversary of this document, we are exhibiting 14 Articles in the form of illustrated prints by Meredith Stern. These contemporary prints are intended both to make people aware of this rights roadmap and to show its urgent relevance in our contemporary political moment.

Meredith Stern is an artist currently based in Providence, RI, and a member of the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, a decentralized network of 30 artists committed to social, environmental, and political engagement. Stern created a total of 28 sets of these linocut prints in 2017, of which one is held in the Joseph A. Labadie Collection in the Special Collections Research Center.

The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects; bilingualism in Egypt; books read by the Egyptian monks; and the works of Shenoute the Great, the most important author of Coptic literature.

This exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

Contesting invisibility through a collaborative production of knowledge: The Afrodescendant Presence in Argentina (December 12, 2018 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57498 57498-14202435@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 12, 2018 2:00pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Marisol Fila, PhD Candidate in Spanish and Portuguese in Romance Languages and Literatures at U-M, discusses the projects she has been generating with the Afro-Argentine organization Xangô to explore the possibilities of a scholarly work conceived as a combination of theory and practice, that seeks to produce knowledge in collaboration and to promote participative and horizontal partnerships between academia and community-based organizations.

The discourse of national identity that emerged in Argentina during the formation of the nation state in the nineteenth and the twentieth century was constructed under a particular classist and racist vision that privileged white European migrants at the same time that turned invisible the presence of Afrodescendants and indigenous groups. By studying historical and contemporary self-representations of Afrodescendant groups in printed and digital culture, Fila's research seeks to recognize the influence of the Afro community and culture to the formation of the Argentine national identity, and the necessity of locating Afrodescendants as social, political and cultural active subjects not only throughout the history but also in the present time. In addition to Fila's dissertation research, she has been developing projects in partnership with Afro-Argentine activist organizations that since the 1990s have been raising their voices against the discrimination suffered.

Emergent Research Series events seek to examine all aspects of the research lifecycle, with a critical focus on ethics, access, and innovation, and with an interest in emerging topics that are relevant to our local and global communities. These events are aimed at better understanding the new ways in which research relies on the work of libraries and information professionals, and where cutting-edge research pushes past what libraries currently support.

Come see highlights from the Library's extraordinary collection of manuscripts and early printed books describing the early history of astrology and astronomy. These holdings range from ancient papyri to richly illustrated books that made possible the scientific revolution in Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, including first editions of the works of Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler. One of the most impressive highlights of the collection is a one-page manuscript where Galileo himself recorded his observations of the moons of Jupiter for the very first time.

This event is part of Special Collections After Hours, a monthly open house series sharing highlights from the many books, documents, and artifacts held in the Special Collections Research Center.

On December 10, 1948, in the aftermath of the devastation of World War II, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a roadmap to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere. The complete Declaration is comprised of a Preamble and 30 Articles. In honor of the 60th anniversary of this document, we are exhibiting 14 Articles in the form of illustrated prints by Meredith Stern. These contemporary prints are intended both to make people aware of this rights roadmap and to show its urgent relevance in our contemporary political moment.

Meredith Stern is an artist currently based in Providence, RI, and a member of the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, a decentralized network of 30 artists committed to social, environmental, and political engagement. Stern created a total of 28 sets of these linocut prints in 2017, of which one is held in the Joseph A. Labadie Collection in the Special Collections Research Center.

This exhibit provides a platform to begin understanding the effects of rising sea levels along the coasts of Indonesia, Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Italy and the United States.

By the end of the century oceans are predicted to rise between .3 and 2.5 meters, which will result in major flooding in coastal cities around the world. The Sinking Cities Project aims to document this inundation through the stories of residents and the changing landscape of their cities.

This photo and video exhibit was produced by Marcin Szczepanski, visual communications director at Michigan Engineering, and Frank Sedlar, Michigan Engineering alumnus.

Join us for an exhibit opening event on November 16th, 4:00-7:00 p.m., in the Clark Library.

Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection (December 16, 2018 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/56679 56679-13960724@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, December 16, 2018 8:30am

Organized By: University Library

The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects; bilingualism in Egypt; books read by the Egyptian monks; and the works of Shenoute the Great, the most important author of Coptic literature.

This exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

Join us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

This photo and video exhibit was produced by Marcin Szczepanski, visual communications director at Michigan Engineering, and Frank Sedlar, Michigan Engineering alumnus.

Join us for an exhibit opening event on November 16th, 4:00-7:00 p.m., in the Clark Library.

Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection (December 21, 2018 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/56679 56679-13960729@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 21, 2018 8:30am
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects; bilingualism in Egypt; books read by the Egyptian monks; and the works of Shenoute the Great, the most important author of Coptic literature.

This exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

Join us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Linocuts by Meredith Stern (December 21, 2018 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58121 58121-14426774@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 21, 2018 1:00pm

On December 10, 1948, in the aftermath of the devastation of World War II, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a roadmap to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere. The complete Declaration is comprised of a Preamble and 30 Articles. In honor of the 60th anniversary of this document, we are exhibiting 14 Articles in the form of illustrated prints by Meredith Stern. These contemporary prints are intended both to make people aware of this rights roadmap and to show its urgent relevance in our contemporary political moment.

Meredith Stern is an artist currently based in Providence, RI, and a member of the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, a decentralized network of 30 artists committed to social, environmental, and political engagement. Stern created a total of 28 sets of these linocut prints in 2017, of which one is held in the Joseph A. Labadie Collection in the Special Collections Research Center.
