SUMMARY:Exhibition:Clip/Stamp/Fold
DESCRIPTION:Researched and organized by a team of Ph.D. candidates in the School of Architecture at Princeton University led by Professor Beatriz Colomina. The team included: Craig Buckley\, Anthony Fontenot\, Urtzi Grau\, Lisa Hsieh\, Alicia Imperiale\, Lydia Kallipoliti\, Olympia Kazi\, Daniel Lopez-Perez\, and Irene Sunwoo.\n\nThis exhibition tracks the critical function of independent architectural publications that were the engine of an intensely creative period of experimental architectural practice in the 1960s and 1970s.

The show includes manifestoes\, pamphlets\, building instruction manuals\, and a survey of magazine covers as well as professional magazines\, complemented by interviews with editors and designers of these publications.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition was given by The Guido A.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Right Tool for the Job: Paint & Encaustic on Wood by Valerie Mann
DESCRIPTION:Valerie Mann has been showing her work professionally throughout the US and in Canada and Germany for 23 years.  She grew up on a large family farm in Indiana\, went to University of Illinois\, Champaign-Urbana to earn a BFA in painting\, then to MSU to earn an MFA in sculpture. Now working and teaching in Ann Arbor\, Mann’s use and study of tools inspired this body of work. Used every day and sometimes taken for granted\, tools are indispensable in the making of art. These favorite tools are beautifully designed and well-thought out for their specific job.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Other America: Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:The recent recession and weak economic recovery have been characterized by historically high rates of long-term unemployment. Workers confronted with persistent unemployment face a number of challenges\, including the threat of skills atrophy and becoming less attractive to prospective employers. Moreover\, the dichotomy between workers continues to expand\, as those with high levels of education and skills can command high wages\, and those with little education and low skill levels can command only low wages in the service industry. Workforce development efforts are responding to these challenges with different approaches\, many with an emphasis on business and industry sector-based approaches. This session will explore the employment and skill-building challenges and opportunities in different communities around the state and describe successful efforts to increase employment and satisfy the demand of local businesses.\n\nPresented by the National Poverty Center at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan with funding from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation\n\nRSVP to attend by contacting npcinfo@umich.edu or calling (734) 615-5312\n\n  Moderator\n  Jeannine La Prad\n  President\, Corporation for a Skilled Workforce\n\n  Panelists\n  Randall W.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Other America: Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Students in the U.S. currently rank 25th in math and 17th in science among their peers in other industrialized countries. Yet research shows that 80 percent of future jobs will require literacy and skills in these areas. To meet future workforce needs and maintain our global competitiveness\, we must improve science\, technology\, engineering\, and math (STEM) skills among students and increase access to STEM careers particularly among underrepresented populations. Afterschool programs have begun to play a significant role in developing new informal science education approaches for students across the country. This panel will explore future workforce demands in STEM fields\, provide statewide examples of how STEM afterschool initiatives are developing college and career-ready students\, and discuss the importance of informal science education initiatives for student success.\n\nPresented by the National Poverty Center at the Gerald R.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Panel
DESCRIPTION:The Pussy Riot affair divides Russia. While polls show that many Russians\, especially Orthodox believers\, approve the severe punishment the band members received\, others denounce it. What explains this mixed response to the two-year sentences that thousands around the world are protesting? Are there social or feminist issues that divide Russia? The panel will address this issue by looking at the local contexts to unveil the social\, legal\, and cultural meanings of the event. \n\nModerator: Olga Maiorova\, CREES director. Presenters: Elena Gapova\, associate professor of sociology\, Western Michigan University\, and European Humanities University\; Holly Hughes\, professor of art and design and professor of theatre and drama\, U-M\, and performance artist\; Ekaterina Mishina\, assistant professor of law\, Vysshaia shkola ekonomiki\, and visiting professor of law\, U-M. \n\nPart of the series Pluralism in Politics and Culture\, a new initiative jointly sponsored by CREES and WCED that examines the foundations of free and open societies. The project builds on the university’s rich legacy of study and support of the dissident culture in the former Soviet Union and on several existing efforts at U-M. The series focuses on multiple facets of political pluralism\, including its legal\, cultural\, and economic dimensions\, and explore them in a broader historical context.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:The Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) – established almost 50 years ago – represents a consortium of almost 60 universities and colleges. The University of Michigan was one of the founding members of OTS\, taking a leadership role in developing research and educational opportunities in the tropics in the 1950s and 1960s. In this seminar\, Losos will also briefly discuss roles played by OTS and the University of Michigan in the development of discipline of tropical biology. Dr. Losos will then present data from multi-decadal ecological studies of trees\, lizards\, frogs\, and birds at OTS’ La Selva Biological Station\, Costa Rica.  Findings from these long-term studies reveal dramatic and surprising directional changes are underway in this well-studied\, old-growth neotropical forest.  The causes of such changes are still poorly understood\, but it is clear that they are multiple and interacting\, including land-use change\, climate change\, predator release\, and pesticide use.  She will then briefly compare findings from La Selva with those from three other Neotropical biological stations in Panama\, Brazil\, and Peru.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies Thursday Speakers Series
DESCRIPTION:Jay Cook\, University of Michigan\n\nLecture Abstract: Deep in the Ohio rust belt there is an old mansion called “Otira”–loaded with historical secrets. Few would suspect that this late Victorian showpiece was first commissioned by black musicians\, financed by global capital\, and conceived as a political statement. Nor would one imagine that the home’s original owner\, Frederick J. Loudin\, was among the world’s most famous men\, a figure who once sang for Queen Victoria\, dined with Kaiser Wilhelm\, performed at the Taj Mahal. Following his story backward\, this talk will explore the geopolitics of black celebrity\, 1770-1920. On the one hand\, it will seek to recover the Loudins’ world: global black celebrities many years before the Jazz Age. But it will also develop a broader historical argument about the significance of their circulation. What if the Loudins’ remarkable story were part of a much older black pattern\, one that began not with ragtime and records\, but at the very dawn of emancipation? What if there were dozens of lost Otiras scattered around the world?
