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:10376-1173989@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

The capability of rational synthesis and band engineering allow control over the electrical\, optical\, and mechanical properties at nanoscale\, and thus enable enormous opportunities in electronics\, optoelectronics\, renewable energy\, biosensing\, and nanomedicine. In this talk\, I will first present the ultrahigh sensitive nanowire photodetectors and the use of nanoengineered artificial photoreceptors for prosthetic device applications with sensitivity beyond human eyes. Then I will discuss results of nanowire photovoltaic devices (solar cells and photoelectrochemical cells) with significant potential for enhanced device performance and energy conversion efficiency at reduced fabrication cost.

Lack of awareness of privilege has costs to individuals\, to communities\, and to society. When and how is it appropriate for mental health practitioners help therapy clients explore privilege? What challenges arise helping people who identify with target identities explore privileged aspects of their experience? What strategies for exploring privilege can be applied in individual and group contexts? This presentation will describe the construct of privilege\, elucidate the costs of privilege\, and identify barriers and strategies for helping individuals and groups explore privilege.

This conference will focus on the relationships between planning\, architecture\, and the public while exploring the social impact of designs and decisions. Questions to be considered include: What role should public space play? What is the public definition of beauty? What forces enable planning and architecture to redefine culture and serve as a catalyst for change?\n\nA diverse group of experts who actively shape the public opinion of architecture and planning will respond through informal discussion to a series of four \"provocations.\" These free-ranging conversations will underscore the complexities and contradictions inherent in each provocation as well as suggest potential solutions to such predicaments.

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:10376-1173990@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

She writes songs so graceful and memorable that you realize only slowly how personal and confessional they really are. Vienna has been writing songs and playing the piano since she was six\, and her silvery piano stylings seem intricately woven into her soothing vocals. A few years ago Vienna Teng came to southeastern Michigan for the first time–and we fell in love. This artist has a real bond with Michigan audiences\, and now it turns out the love affair between Vienna Teng and Michigan is mutual: she recently earned her master's in sustainable enterprise at the U-M and announced plans to settle in Detroit. Her music has continued to develop during this time\, and her live shows are spellbinding. Neo-soul songwriter and Ann Arbor-to-NYC transplant Theo Katzman opens the show!\n\nTickets for this show are only $15 with student ID at the Michigan Union Ticket Office.

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:10376-1173992@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

William Meadow\, MD\, PhD\, will present a talk entitled\, “Mathematics of Morality in the NICU.”\n\nAbstract: Most traditional discussions of neonatal ethics center on issues of beneficence\, justice\, autonomy\, and best interests. My talk does not. Rather\, I attempt to show how data impact decision-making in the NICU. I will discuss four separate\, but related\, issues – Money\, Outcomes\, Prediction\, and Worth. I will demonstrate that there are no credible financial criticisms of NICU care\, especially when compared to adult ICU care. I will discuss the paradox that although survival outcomes vary sharply with gestational age (GA)\, the outcomes for infants who actually survive do not vary much with GA. I will spend considerable time on the possibility of very accurate prediction of either death or neurodevelopmental impairment for infants – while they are on the ventilator in the NICU when ethical alternatives to continued NICU care (i.e.\, extubation and palliative care) are possible. And finally I will spend a bit of time discussing the odd but consistent finding that many people (physicians and non-physicians alike) appear to place less value on the life of a micro-preemie than they do on other medical patients with comparable\, or even worse\, prognoses. I will end with a discussion of the future of neonatal morality research\, as I see it.\n\nDr. Meadow is a Professor of Pediatrics\, Co-Section Chief of Neonatology\, and Director of the Neonatology Fellowship Program at the University of Chicago. An expert in neonatology\, Dr. Meadow's research focuses on medical ethics in the field of neonatal epidemiology. He has examined resource allocation\, as well as issues of informed consent\, in neonatal intensive care units. \n\nLight refreshments will be provided.

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:10376-1173993@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

The Cameroon government has introduced a bill to the national assembly that would give formal\, political backing to section 347 of the country's penal code that criminalizes consensual sex between adults of the same gender.\n\n\"It's getting worse\,\" Nkom told the Guardian during a visit to London. \"These laws are illegal - the declaration of human rights is part of our constitution - but the judges still apply them. It's very difficult to prove you have had sex. Under the procedural code you cannot be put in jail unless caught in delecto flagrante. \"But they always put people accused of homosexuality in jail straight away. People are targeted because they wear makeup or looked effeminate. One client was given a three-year sentence because he wrote a text message. It's a very corrupt environment and people get paid for informing on others.\"\n\nSponsored by Global Public Health Initiate\, Institute for the Study of Women and Gender\, Sex & Justice Conference\nContact Information: Chinyere neale\, nealee@umich.edu\, 615-3514\n\n UID:10310-1173852@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10310 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:cameroon,global public health,homosexuality LOCATION:School of Public Health Bldg I and Crossroads and Tower - 1755 SPH I CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120911T081258 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121002T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121002T163000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:InterGen Tech: Learning Digital Skills From Those Who Know - The Kids!--OLLI Study Group DESCRIPTION:OLLI members will meet one-on-one with 5th - 8th grade Emerson students to learn technology in Emerson’s computer lab.

Rather than focusing on this polarity\, however\, Professor Arscott will consider Morris’s intimations of action\, which the artist associated with the pictorial and which he considered to be one of the great resources of oriental carpet design. Professor Arscott will address the knot as it relates to the substance of the pile and the interlace of the design\, in addition to its significance for Victorian mathematics. She seeks to establish the ways in which ornament can function as a mode of the pictorial in an Arts and Crafts context. Her approach is international in scope\, and will include a consideration of Morris’s sources in Safavidic carpet design as well as his awareness of Riegl's discussion of cloud band motifs in carpets.

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:10376-1173994@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

Feminist science studies focuses on feminist analyses of and contributions to science\; Feminism + Science = Feminist Science Studies brings together interdisciplinary scholars at the forefront of this field. Each of the panels pairs two renowned scholars\, one from the humanities/social sciences and one from the natural/biomedical sciences\, to discuss feminist perspectives on a specific debate or controversy in science\, medicine\, or technology. The panels combine individual disciplinary talks from these diverse scholars with interdisciplinary commentary and questions from local expert faculty at the University of Michigan\, themselves drawn from varying locations on the knowledge spectrum.

In fact\, Europeans and many Russians scorned Moscow as part of Asia\, and the tsars themselves thought it a benighted place that endangered their political security and their effort to Westernize their country. As a result\, beginning with Catherine the Great\, the tsars sought to remake Moscow on the model of St. Petersburg. How was the urban environment transformed in the century that followed? How did these changes affect the lives of the inhabitants? Did Moscow’s modernization resemble that of Western cities? Lastly\, how was Moscow’s modernization interpreted by social commentators in Russia and the West from the Enlightenment to the mid-19th century?\n\nAlexander Martin’s research focuses on Imperial Russia between the mid-18th and late 19th century. In Romantics\, Reformers\, Reactionaries: Russian Conservative Thought and Politics in the Reign of Alexander I (1997) he examined the genesis of modern Russian conservatism in the era of the Napoleonic Wars. Martin’s current book\, Enlightened Metropolis: Constructing Imperial Moscow\, 1762-1855 (forthcoming in 2012)\, examines the transformation of Moscow into a modern city from the perspective of social history\, intellectual history\, and the development of urban planning and institutions. His next project\, tentatively titled Seeking a New Life in an Age of Revolution: A German-Russian Odyssey\, 1768-1870\, is an examination of the history of Germany and Russia through the lens of the experience of one German emigrant family.

The event takes place nearly 30 years to the month since the historic Warren County landfill protest in North Carolina\, which many consider the start of the modern Environmental Justice movement.\n\nThe conference will have keynote speakers and breakout sessions\, culminating with the production later this year of a whitepaper spelling out an action plan for the movement. This is Bunyan's clearly articulated goal for the conference: a concrete work product that lives beyond the life of the conference and serves and informs the work of activists and academics in the years ahead.

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:10376-1173995@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10376 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:architecture,visual arts LOCATION:202 S.

Unlike Western countries\, however\, Japan is facing this struggle without the benefits (and costs) of mass immigration. This presentation will describe recent research exploring the roles and challenges of low and high-skilled migration to Japan\, and the possibilities for finding substitutes for immigration. We can understand Japan’s unique approach to immigration by understanding the intellectual or philosophical assumptions behind its policymaking\, and contrasting those with the philosophies of immigration in the West\, particularly the United States.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nJohn D.

The book is set in Athens during the 1967 military coup\, a time of great political upheaval. In her lecture\, Bakopoulos will give the humanist perspective on current events in Greece.\n\nNatalie Bakopoulos was born in Dearborn\, Michigan\, and received an MFA in fiction from U-M. For her writing she has received the O. Henry Award\, a Hopwood Award\, and a Platsis Prize for Work on the Greek Legacy. She is a contributing editor for Fiction Writers Review\, an online journal\, and her writing has appeared in Ninth Letter\, Tin House\, Granta\, Salon.com\, and The New York Times.\n\n UID:9345-1139853@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/9345 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:natalie bakopoulos LOCATION:School of Social Work Building - 1636 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120912T110055 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121004T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121004T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series as part of the Rackham Centennial Lectures DESCRIPTION:Many invertebrates benefit from the metabolic inputs of specialized symbiotic bacteria\, which contribute nutrients\, structural components\, and defenses against environmental threats. Insect symbioses show dramatic variation. At one extreme\, ancient\, maternally inherited symbionts that provision essential nutrients to hosts have tiny and static genomes that endure ongoing\, irreversible losses of genes and functional capacities overevolutionary time. These are exemplified by Buchnera aphidicola in aphids and by other nutritional symbionts of insects ranging from bloodfeeding flies to cockroaches. In these systems\, gene losses by symbionts can be partially compensated by acquisition of new symbionts or\, to a limited degree\, by coadaptation of hosts. More transient associations with heritable facultative symbionts can provide temporarily useful products\, such as defenses against natural enemies that change over time. \n\nAt the other extreme\, gut symbionts exist within more diverse microbial communities in which related strains may have frequent recombination and gene transfer resulting in highly dynamic genomes and the potential for acquisition of novel capabilities in response to new environmental pressures. The gut symbionts of honey bees and bumble bees are of special interest because the sociality of these insects enables reliable inter-individual transmission and has given rise to a distinctive\, specialized microbiota. These bee-associated bacterial species are likely to have evolved with their hosts for 80 million years. In contrast to the reduced genomes and clonality of anciently acquired maternally inherited symbionts\, species of honey bee gut symbionts occur as complexes of closely related\, recombining strains that vary in gene content and functional capabilities. This enables them to respond to novel environmental conditions such as changes in food or environmental toxins. Initial genome-based studies of the bee gut microbiota provide evidence for roles in defense and digestion and support the view that gene uptake by symbionts is pivotal in determining their effects on hosts. \n\nSponsored by the UM Museum of Zoology Donald W.

I argue that New Leftists created an ethos surrounding their publications that socialized people into the Movement\, fostered a spirit of mutuality among them\, and raised their democratic expectations. Given the obstacles confronting those who have attempted to build mass democratic movements in the United States\, this was no small thing. Additionally\, I'll discuss the degree to which the political energy that fueled the New Left arose from the grassroots\, as opposed to the national office of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) or the pageantry and intellectual ferment that accompanied the New Left rebellion in large cities. In this way\, my work is part of a larger revisionist effort to reassess the New Left through the techniques and methodologies of social and cultural history.
