These paintings are my attempt to capture some of the Michigan beauty. I believe that a great painting is a like a beautifully composed piece of music.

Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n UID:10376-1173981@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

A persona is something that sometimes appears to exist on the body of a brain-dead patient\, and people who have had a close relationship with the patient can perceive its existence. Interestingly\, we can find a similar concept in Tetsuro Watsuji’s essay “Mask and Persona” published in 1935. Utilizing the perspectives of Watsuji’s philosophy\, Professor Morioka aims to pursue an analytical discussion on current topics in bioethics.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nMasahiro Morioka is a Professor of Philosophy and Ethics at Osaka Prefecture University in Japan\, and is also the Editor-in-Chief of the \"Journal of Philosophy of Life.\" He specializes in life philosophy\, life studies\, bioethics\, gender studies\, and criticism of contemporary civilization.

University Ave & Church St.). Ellen Peters\, PhD\, will present a talk entitled\, “Informed choice and the construction of preferences.”\n\nAbstract: Having consumers and patients actively involved in making informed choices is good. However\, the effects of increased patient involvement are not well understood. Because preferences are sometimes constructed\, unintended consequences can ensue. I will briefly discuss what is needed to make an informed decision and some of the barriers that exist to effective communication of critical information. Understanding the psychological mechanisms that underlie how people understand and use information is key to developing general principles concerning how to improve decision making.\n\nDr. Ellen Peters is Associate Professor of Psychology at Ohio State University and studies decision making as an interaction of characteristics of the decision situation and characteristics of the individual. She focuses on how affective\, intuitive\, and deliberative processes help people to make decisions in an increasingly complex world. She has three major strands of research. First\, her research interests in decision making include number processing and the study of individual differences in numeracy and an intuitive sense of numbers. A second central strand of research concerns how affect and emotion influence information processing and decisions. Third\, she is interested in how information processing and decision making change in complex ways across the adult life span. She is also generally interested in issues of risk perception and risk communication in health\, financial\, and environmental contexts\, including how to present information to facilitate its comprehension and use.\n\nLight refreshments will be provided.

Thurnau Professor and professor of economics\, U-M.\n\nJim Adams received his three degrees in economics (AB summa cum laude\, AM\, and PhD) from Harvard University. In 1973\, he joined the faculty of the University of Michigan\, where his current title is Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Economics. Adams has won numerous prizes for his teaching\, including the Amoco Foundation Award and the Golden Apple Award. The University of Michigan nominated him in 2007 for the U.S. Professors of the Year Award\, bestowed by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching\, and then in 2008 for the Michigan Distinguished Professor of the Year Award\, sponsored by the Presidents’ Council of the State Universities of Michigan. In his research\, Adams has ranged broadly\, from public policies toward business in the United States to economic integration in Europe. His monograph\, Restructuring the French Economy: Government and the Rise of Market Competition since World War II\, is cited by economists\, historians\, and political scientists on both sides of the Atlantic. Adams has served the University of Michigan in numerous administrative capacities\, including as Director of the Center for West European Studies and as Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs in the College of Literature\, Science and the Arts. He has held visiting professorships at Harvard\, Aix-Marseille\, Paris Panthéon-Sorbonne\, the European University Institute in Florence\, Basel\, and Paris Dauphine. He has been affiliated with the Brookings Institution in Washington\, the Council on Foreign Relations in Chicago\, and the Jean Monnet Foundation in Switzerland. He has advised the Federal Trade Commission\, the U.S. Ambassador to France\, and several foreign policy departments of the U.S. government. In 2007\, he delivered the Guido Carli Lecture at LUISS in Rome. \n\nSponsors: CES\, WCED.

However\, biotas at the origin of tetrapods\, during the Devonian period (420-359 million years ago\, My) were defined by now-extinct or depauperate groups such as lobe-finned fishes (lungfish and coelacanths). It was long thought that this turnover was caused by gradual forces and the greater fitness of living lineages. A comprehensive global database for early vertebrate diversity\, analysed using methods from community ecology\, has pinned this turnover to the supposedly minor end-Devonian Hangenberg mass extinction event (359 My). Global vertebrate faunas were destroyed and 44% of major clades lost\, restructuring ecosystems and permitting the rise of the modern vertebrate biota from scarce survivors. However\, recovery from the Hangenberg event was long and arduous\, coincident with “Romer’s Gap\,” a previously unexplained lull in tetrapod diversity. While some groups thrived and radiated (e.g.\, actinopterygians)\, members of once-diverse groups became “dead clades walking\,” the extinct equivalent of “living fossils.” In addition\, there was little replacement of lost lineages: survivors tended toward novel forms and niches. Thus\, conditions during aftermath of the Hangenberg extinction had as much of an impact on subsequent biodiversity as the event itself. The new challenge is explain this record of differential success. The new opportunity is to re-examine the impact of other\, perhaps neglected external events on vertebrate biota past and present.

Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards.\n UID:10374-1173972@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10374 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

These paintings are my attempt to capture some of the Michigan beauty. I believe that a great painting is a like a beautifully composed piece of music. My wish is to create a painting with a simple aim of honestly capturing the very essence of what I saw\, and be able to make the viewer feel what I felt. (To read the full artist statement\, please visit campusinvolvement.umich.edu\, it is also posted with the exhibit.)\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed until Friday\, October 5th.\n\nAll pieces in the exhibit are for sale.

Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n UID:10376-1173982@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n UID:10376-1173983@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

Benjamin West's Death of General Wolfe DESCRIPTION:Benjamin West’s 1770 canvas The Death of General Wolfe was one of the most celebrated paintings in eighteenth-century England. After initially expressing reservations about West’s depiction of the death of Major General James Wolfe in the 1759 defeat of the French at Québec\, Sir Joshua Reynolds\, President of the Royal Academy\, stated that “I foresee that this picture will not only become one of the most popular\, but occasion a revolution in art.” This talk by curator Carole McNamara will look at how West’s painting figured in the tradition of eighteenth-century military commemorations\, including other depictions of Wolfe\, and examine why it is that West’s version became the iconic portrayal of this important military victory.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F.

Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n UID:10376-1173985@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n UID:10376-1173986@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

This political shift\, as well as new developments within mainstream academic economics\, have changed in significant respects the nature of radical political economics and the activities of its practitioners.

These paintings are my attempt to capture some of the Michigan beauty. I believe that a great painting is a like a beautifully composed piece of music.

Each swipe captures the gesture as well as the memory of the gesture\, now already in the past. Each panel appears to duplicate itself beyond any final tally\, proliferating in the room.\n\nUpon first glance\, Tolon’s constructs evoke a sense of freedom in their repetition. They appear infinite\, suggestive of vast open spaces\, like the modern landscapes viewed out of a train window\, or the documentary film reels from the mid- twentieth century. They draw us in\, inviting our dreams and interpretations. In this momentary introspection\, we contemplate our own histories.\n\nThen\, like the first day of any highly anticipated tomorrow\, after the proverbial summer full of expectation”¦expecting things to change\, to be different\, to be new again\, we are struck with a profound disillusionment\, stranded in a place full of promise that never delivers. In a turn\, the world of photographic familiarity Tolon has created collapses in on itself. – Amanda Krugliak\, arts curator\n\nThis Institute for the Humanities original installation was made possible by the generosity of the 2012 Kidder Residency in the Arts. The installation is based on Canan Tolon’s observations and experiences during her time in Ann Arbor\, and many of the materials used are salvage materials from her visits to Detroit architectural yards. \n\n UID:10376-1173987@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

Ford School of Public Policy\nBetty Ford Classroom\, 1110 Joan and Sanford Weill Hall\n735 South State Street\, Ann Arbor\n\nIncome Inequality and Educational Outcomes\nIncome inequality among the families of school-age children in the US has grown sharply in the last 40 years. In this talk Dr. Reardon will describe his research findings from three studies that examine the relationship of income and income inequality to educational outcomes. The first focuses on trends in the ”˜income achievement gap’ (the test score gap between children from high- and low-income families) over the last 50 years\, using data from 13 nationally representative studies conducted between 1959-2009. The second investigates the relationships among income\, achievement\, and the selectivity of the colleges in which students enroll\, using data from the high school classes of 1982\, 1992\, and 2004. The third study investigates the association between national income inequality levels and a country’s income achievement gap\, using data from 19 OECD countries in 2001-2009. Dr. Reardon will conclude the talk with discussion of the causes and implications of patterns and trends identified in the research.\n\nSean F. Reardon\nSean F. Reardon is professor of education and (by courtesy) sociology at Stanford University\, and Director of the Stanford Interdisciplinary Training Program in Quantitative Education Policy Analysis. His scholarship focuses on the effects of education policy on educational and social inequality\; on the causes\, patterns\, trends\, and consequences of social and educational inequality\; and in applied statistical methods for education research. His primary research examines the relative contribution of family\, school\, and neighborhood environments to racial/ethnic and socioeconomic achievement disparities. Most recently\, he has written about the widening academic achievement gap between children from high- and low-income families and about the growth in residential segregation between high- and low-income families over the last 40 years. Sean received his doctorate in education in 1997 from Harvard University. He has been a recipient of a William T. Grant Foundation Scholar Award\, a Carnegie Scholar Award\, and a National Academy of Education Postdoctoral Fellowship. \n\nThe Education Policy Initiative (EPI) is a program of coordinated activities designed to bring the latest academic knowledge to issues of education policy.\n\nThis event is generously supported by Charles H. and Susan Gessner.

Koryo Saram includes extensive footage of a 1946 documentary film entitled Kolkhoz “Avant-Garde”\, produced by Soviet authorities to showcase a thriving Kazakhstani Korean collective farm. Koryo Saram correctly presents this film as raw Stalinist propaganda\, but Kolkhoz “Avant-Garde” also bears traces of the inter-war Soviet Avant-Garde\, in particular the documentary techniques of Dziga Vertov\, Aleksandr Rodchenko\, and Sergei Tret’iakov. That is\, there is more to Kolkhoz “Avant-Garde” than meets the eye\, and the paper argues that it reveals the tragedy not just of Soviet Koreans\, but also of what I am calling the Ethnic Avant-Garde: a cross-racial\, international grouping of artists who\, in the 1920s and early 30s\, looked to Moscow for ways of reconciling revolutionary politics\, artistic innovation\, and ethnic particularism. Turning from the two films\, the paper then provides a broader mapping of the Ethnic Avant-Garde\, which included\, among others\, both Korean American and Soviet Korean artists and writers. In short\, I am proposing here a new\, Soviet-centered model for bridging these two distinct branches of the Korean diaspora.
