Tapping the viewpoints of those present at the creation of the Statement as well as those historians\, humanists\, and social scientists who have studied that period\, “A New Insurgency” draws attention to the complex scene of social-justice and leftwing activist movements that laid the seed-bed for The Port Huron Statement –and then helped spread and amplify its visions of social change.\n\nThe legacy of those movements\, and the ideals of The Port Huron Statement\, have returned to center-stage amid the stunning sweep of mass protest in pursuit of democracy and social justice over the past two years\, from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street and continuing collective action against the hardships of austerity. This gathering at the University of Michigan will test the significance of the new insurgency of the early 1960s for the new insurgents of 2011-2012. We welcome a broad audience to the conversation.\n\nSDS’s Port Huron Statement offered the most comprehensive analysis of American society and most eloquent vision for radical reform to be generated by the emerging movement known as the New Left. Young radical intellectuals–including\, in crucial leadership roles\, undergraduate and graduate students from the University of Michigan–produced the document\, but their inspiration stemmed from the energy and moral example already set by activists in the civil rights and peace movements\, anticolonial struggles abroad\, new signs of dissent from Latin America to Eastern Europe\, and older leftwing ideas in need of renovation.\n\nDrafters of The Port Huron Statement were keenly aware of many of these forces\; in 1962\, they may not have recognized others that were stirring as well. Speakers at the conference will examine the open\, and sometimes hidden\, elements of the new insurgent spirit of that time–including trends in feminism\, Black nationalism\, Latina/o and Native American struggles for recognition and power\, rebellious currents around the world\, gay liberation\, and developments in the arts that tracked the course of rising protest.\n\n“A New Insurgency” will engage today’s generation of students and activists in all the conference proceedings. Following this year’s summer-reading programs focused on The Port Huron Statement (for incoming UM first-years in several special college programs)\, the conference will feature an all-student panel on the meaning of the Statement’s New Left principles today. A concluding panel on Friday\, November 2\, will feature representatives of current campus activist groups discussing the present and future course of movements for equality\, social justice\, and democracy. Lunch-time sessions on Thursday and Friday will provide “open mic” discussion by veterans of the “Port Huron” moment and newcomers to the history of that time.\n\n“A New Insurgency” runs from Wednesday\, October 31\, 7:30 pm\, through the evening of Friday\, November 2. Daily panels are held in the Pendleton and Anderson Rooms of the Michigan Union on S. State St. Wednesday's Keynote Address (Ruth Rosen) will be held in Angell Hall Auditorium B\, 7:30-9:00pm. Thursday's Keynote Address (Tom Hayden) will be held in East Hall 1324\, 7:30-9:00pm.

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F.

Clements Library Collection DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.

In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n UID:10076-1175121@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120913T112548 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121102T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121102T123000 SUMMARY:Other:Making Impact: Presentation Strategy for Graduate Students DESCRIPTION:This interactive workshop will help you make the most of your professional presentation.

The SS Forum is intended to explore topics of interest to those involved in the Sustainable Systems field of study\, but all are welcome to attend these events. Speakers will present on topics in sustainability with opportunities for the audience to engage in the discussion.\n\nSPEAKER: Mikhail (Mike) Chester\, Assistant Professor at Arizona State University in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment and an Affiliate Faculty in the School of Sustainability\n\nABSTRACT:\nWith increasing populations\, remote resource and waste networks\, and complex hard and soft infrastructure systems\, sustainability policies often target cities as catalyzing agents for regional environmental change. The predominant approach for analyzing the sustainability of cities\, Urban Metabolism\, has provided value in understanding how resources are used\, transformed\, accumulated\, and discharged\, but does not provide a rigorous framework for understanding human health\, environmental impacts\, or social equity outcomes. This talk will present several new approaches for advancing urban sustainability assessment. These approaches use life-cycle assessment to assess infrastructure systems as enablers of emergent behaviors that are sustainable or unsustainable. Research projects from Los Angeles and Phoenix will be presented and the approaches will show the importance of understanding infrastructure interdependencies and high-resolution analyses that allows for meaningful socio-demographic assessment. The projects will highlight how bottom-up systems-oriented energy and environmental assessments can be positioned to assist urban sustainability policy and decision makers.

ODP Leg 206 and IODP Expeditions 309 and 312 drilled Hole 1256D through flows\, dikes\, and two gabbro layers\, for the first time finding\, in a single hole\, the physical stratigraphy expected from ophiolite analogies. The gabbro layers were found at the depth expected if they formed from the bodies imaged as bright reflectors by seismic techniques at mid-ocean ridges\, widely interpreted as magma chambers or melt lenses. The composition of the gabbro layers overlaps with composition of flows and dikes\, more evolved than reasonable models for the average composition of oceanic crust. Though our understanding is far from complete\, bulk-rock compositions and degree of hydrothermal alteration exclude some models for mid-ocean ridge plumbing and favor others.

But what really sets them apart is instrumental artistry that adds deeper jazz and funk layers to the sound. \"With a finger-picking style that has been compared to Leo Kottke and Ani DiFranco\, soul-folk songwriting skills in the tradition of Martin Sexton\, and a singing voice constantly compared to Stevie Wonder\, there is clearly an abundance of talent here\,\" the Green Mountain College Journal says of former coffeehouse folkster Montbleau. And this may be a Northeastern band\, but there's a zydeco layer in their music too! Ryan's latest album\, \"For Higher\,\" was recorded with a great lineup of New Orleans musicians (call it getting in touch with your inner Acadian)\, and it contains a great cover of Eddie Hinton's \"Yeah Man.\" Listen and enjoy!

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F.

Clements Library Collection DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.

In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n UID:10076-1175122@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121103T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121103T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES DESCRIPTION:The Seoul-based art collaborative\, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature.

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F.

Clements Library Collection DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.

In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n UID:10076-1175123@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121104T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121104T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES DESCRIPTION:The Seoul-based art collaborative\, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature.

He has toured with Sheryl Crow\, John Mayer\, Kelly Clarkson\, Maroon 5\, the Dave Matthews Band\, and Counting Crows. Graham's latest CD\, \"Pacific Coast Eyes\,\" is packed with gorgeous melodies and goes a long way toward establishing him as the new standard-bearer for intelligent romantic pop.

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F.

Clements Library Collection DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.

In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n UID:10076-1175124@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121105T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121105T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES DESCRIPTION:The Seoul-based art collaborative\, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature.

Understanding these effects necessitates a mechanistic understanding of both\, predator diversity on prey suppression\, and the eco-evolutionary response of communities to climatic changes. To compare patterns of predation between simple and diverse communities of aphid predators Dr Tobin used an experimental response-surface design\, varying intra- and interspecific predator densities. By statistically fitting mechanistic models to the data\, he demonstrated that resource partitioning rather than facilitation better explains the observed differences in resource use between simple and diverse predator communities. This model-fitting approach also allowed him to quantify overlap in resource use by the different predator species. Dr Tobin then theoretically explored the effects of climate change on interacting species. Predicting the consequences of interspecific interactions is complicated by coevolution between species. Therefore\, he used simple models to organize and synthesize the ways coevolution modifies species coexistence when climatic changes favour one species over another. In cases where species have conflicting interests\, he shows that coevolution reduces the effects of climate change\, leading to reduced chances of extinction. Conversely\, when species have non-conflicting interests\, coevolution increases the effects of climate change\, increasing extinction risk. Thus\, coevolution sets up feedback loops that either dampen or amplify the effect of climate change on species extinctions\, depending on the form that coevolution takes between species. Dr Tobin discusses these results in light of natural pest control in agroecosystems and potential future research evaluating the potential for sustainable food production in a changing climate.

What are the roots of the crisis? Disarray within the eurozone is not fundamentally about debts\, deficits\, or banking crises. Instead\, it is a political crisis. Investigating the history of single currencies helps illuminate the obstacles ahead\, and the transformations needed to secure Europe’s future.\n\nKathleen R. McNamara is an associate professor of government and foreign service and director of the Mortara Center for International Studies at Georgetown University. She is an expert on the politics of international economic relations\, specializing in the European Union\, the euro\, and the European Central Bank. She is the author of The Currency of Ideas: Monetary Politics in the European Union (Cornell University Press\, 1998)\, co-editor of Making History: European Integration and Institution Change at Fifty (Oxford University Press\, 2007)\, and has published numerous essays on globalization\, economic institutions\, and the role of norms and culture in policymaking. Her current book project\, entitled “Imagining Europe\,” investigates the social construction of political authority in the European Union\, through the use of culture\, symbols\, and practice. Dr. McNamara has taught at Princeton University and Sciences Po (Paris)\, and has been a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation\, a German Marshall Fund Fellow\, and a Fulbright Fellow. She is a participant in a variety of government and NGO policy groups\, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations\, and an executive board member of the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control. She received her PhD from Columbia University and her BA from McGill University.\n\nPart of the European Economic Crisis and its Political Dimensions\, a lecture series jointly sponsored by CES and WCED\, and made possible by a generous donation from Michael Kojaian.

In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n UID:10076-1175125@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121106T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121106T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES DESCRIPTION:The Seoul-based art collaborative\, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature.

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain.

Clements Library Collection DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.

In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n UID:10076-1175126@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121107T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121107T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES DESCRIPTION:The Seoul-based art collaborative\, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature. Blurring the boundaries between media\, technologies\, and cultural histories\, YHCHI has gained international acclaim for their \"net art\" productions-mostly black- and-white videos of quickly flashing capitalized text in a generic font with synchronized music. This exhibition will present a newly commissioned piece by UMMA\, which will be added to the artists' website\, yhchang.com.\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

As “ethnic minority” citizens of a Kyrgyz-dominated state that has lurched toward increasingly strident nationalisms across successive political upheavals\, they have been excluded from political power\, status\, and resources for being of the wrong ethnicity. But they are also excluded from neighboring Uzbekistan for being of the wrong citizenship. The Kyrgyzstani Uzbek leadership responded in the first two post-Soviet decades by building a “society within a society”: constructing urban institutions that served Kyrgyzstan’s Uzbek community–universities\, media\, mosques\, charities\, cultural centers. Yet\, those were positioned discursively as loyal Kyrgyzstani institutions serving the common good of the republic. This carefully crafted positionality appropriated Soviet-inspired official rhetoric on Kyrgyzstan as the “common home” of all ethnicities and popular Islamic sensibilities of social justice. Their efforts in institution-building came to a sudden\, violent end with the 2010 interethnic riots\, where entire Uzbek neighborhoods and businesses were incinerated in what analysts call anti-Uzbek pogroms. This talk will explore the discursive balancing that Kyrgyzstani Uzbeks maintained between ethnically marked claims of injustice with universalistic imaginaries of the commonwealth. Dr. Liu will discuss the complex conceptual questions raised by recent events and past history.\n\nMorgan Y. Liu is a cultural anthropologist studying Islamic revival\, post-socialist states\, and social justice movements. An associate professor of Anthropology in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at the Ohio State University\, he teaches about the Middle East\, Central Asia\, Islamic revival and social justice\, and cultural theory. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Society of Fellows\, Harvard University. His 2002 Ph.D. is from the University of Michigan in Anthropology. His 2012 book\, Under Solomon’s Throne: Uzbek Visions of Renewal in Osh\, concerns how ethnic Uzbeks in the ancient Silk Road city of Osh\, Kyrgyzstan think about political authority and post-Soviet transformations\, based on research using vernacular language interviews and ethnographic fieldwork of urban social life from 1993 to 2011. Dr. Liu’s current research investigates Islamic notions of just society in Central Asia\, and comparatively across the Middle East\, Russia\, China\, and elsewhere in Asia. He wishes to investigate how Central Asians believe Islam could address structural problems such as “corruption” and social inequality.

With connected learning\, students are able to pursue academically-oriented knowledge about topics and causes they are passionate about\, with the support of their peers and schools. \n\nCurrent strategies for supporting young people's learning were honed in an era where communication centered on face-to-face interaction and experts controlled the flow of knowledge. Today's digital\, networked\, and interactive media ecology offers new opportunities to pursue meaningful\, demand-driven\, and socially connected learning\, but only the most active digital learners\, around one percent\, are taking advantage of this amazing potential. \n\nIto will discuss new learning pathways and relationships that can make connected learning scalable and accessible to more students.

Scholars are debating whether the mass murders of the 20th century are solely the byproduct of modernity or the outcome of the breakdown of civilization\, progress\, and reason within their respective societies. More so\, a good number of these works concentrate on Europe by having in mind the Holocaust as the ultimate manifestation of Modernity. After discussing the different approaches to the discourse in the historiography\, the following talk will concentrate more on analyzing some of the understudied cases within the historiography. By taking the Armenian\, the Rwandan and the Darfuran genocides\, the talk will examine the ways in which these three cases contribute to the discourse on the Modernity of Genocides in the 20th century. How can these three non-European cases enhance our understanding about the sweeping mass murders of the 20th century in general and the coloration between Modernity and Genocide in particular? \n\nBedross Der Matossian is an Assistant Professor of Modern Middle East History in the Department of History at the University of Nebraska/Lincoln.

African art is often interpreted in Western analytical frameworks as expressions of timeless myths and rituals\, interrupted only by the colonial encounter. African Art and the Shape of Time complicates such conventional views by considering diverse modes for reckoning time and its philosophical\, social\, and religious significance. The exhibition includes 30 works from the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, National Museum of African Art\, Fowler Museum at UCLA\, as well as several Detroit area private collections\, and is organized around five themes that explore the multiplicity of time in Africa: The Beginning of Things\, Embodied Time\, Moving Through Time\, Global Time\, and \"NOW.\"\n\nThis exhibition is generously supported by the University of Michigan Health System.

In conflating a momentous contemporary event with the genre of large-scale history painting\, West flouted the conventions of academic painting and the work became one of the most celebrated paintings in Britain. The artist went on to produce six versions of the painting\, one of which belongs to the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Through approximately 40 works from Michigan\, Canadian\, and British collections\, this ambitious and thematically focused exhibition will include the Clements canvas as well as other depictions of James Wolfe and his death on the battlefield.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Joseph F.

Clements Library Collection DESCRIPTION:This significant exhibition provides glimpses of British America in the 1700s and is designed to complement the Museum's concurrent exhibition \"Benjamin West: General Wolfe and the Art of Empire\,\" which features the Clements collection's major painting \"The Death of General Wolfe.\" William L. Clements assembled an outstanding array of primary sources on North America dating between 1492 and 1800\, with a heavy emphasis on early European exploration and discovery and the eighteenth-century wars for control of the continent. The exhibition features a mix of rare items from Mr. Clements’s original donation and pieces the Library has acquired since 1923 to complement and enhance its strength in eighteenth-century American history.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the Andrew W.

In this breathtaking installation\, as in much of his work\, Just situates the viewer in his signature landscape of beauty\, provocation\, and a general uneasiness that is as seductive as it is ominous. The storyline is at once deceptively simple and perplexing: a wheelchair-bound protagonist travels through a neighborhood in the outskirts of Paris to her apartment\, while a young male character appears to follow her. Once home\, she is able to leave her wheelchair but is overcome by a powerful seizure. One of Just’s unique strengths is his ability to engage the viewer in an open-ended\, unresolved narrative in a manner that is more intriguing than frustrating. It is impossible to parse but equally impossible to abandon\, and this is the essence of Just’s gift for hypnotic storytelling.\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. \n UID:10076-1175127@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/10076 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120620T153239 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20121108T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20121108T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES DESCRIPTION:The Seoul-based art collaborative\, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI) is known for innovative video works that exist at the nexus of visual art and digital literature.

Such amounted to a war of\, as well as on\, translation. I then ask if there is an alternative to this colonial and nationalist conception of translation as war and turn to the question of Tagalog slang as it is theorized by the renowned novelist Nick Joaquin. For Joaquin\, what emerges in the history of Tagalog slang is a different politics of language. It is one based on translation not as war but as play\, along with the conversion of history into language less as a means of democratizing society but as a way of expanding literary democracy.\n\nCo-sponsored by the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, the Department of Comparative Literature\, the LSA Theme Semester in Translation\, the Department of History\, the Center for Southeast Asian Studies\, and the Language Resource Center.

A remarkable example of this problem lies in the cost of mitigating weedy plant infestations in agricultural crops–an estimated $37B of the US economy is lost yearly due to crop damage and the cost of herbicide application (Pimental 2005). Despite the impact of weedy plants on the world’s food supply\, little is known about the evolutionary potential of traits that make a plant a weed\, and less is understood about the genetics of plant ”˜weediness.’ Dr. Baucom's research makes use of manipulative field experiments and publicly available data sets\, as well as the tools of quantitative genetics\, bioinformatics and molecular biology to assess how plants adapt to human-mediated selection and which plant species are likely to adapt. She focuses on weeds and domesticated species of the model genus Ipomoea (morning glories) to address a range of key evolutionary and ecological questions that will ultimately inform components of agricultural food production.

This talk analyzes imperial German mappings of Iran as space of economic investment in the period between 1906 and the First World War\, placing them in dialogue with Iranian nationalist depictions of the country's development in the wake of the Persian Constitutional Revolution (1906-1911). The connections forged between German and Iranian nationalist politicians in this period played forward into the First World War. The book project\, from which this talk is a part\, attempts both to 'de-center' German history from the perspective of its Persian frontier\, and to place Iranian history into a global frame.\n\nPresented in conjunction with the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies.

She rebelled against the family business by teaching elementary school for several years before getting involved in music\, and when she did get started it was with a voice totally her own. Since 2007\, Lucy has released two EPs and a studio album entitled \"Lucy\" (2010)\, toured the U.S.\, Canada and Europe\, and has performed with The Indigo Girls\, Neko Case\, and Over the Rhine. Lucy is known for her crystal clear voice and straightforward\, funny stage presence. She appears tonight wiht Alabama-raised Lindsay Fuller\, who\, in her own words\, \" makes her peace with the Christ-haunted South by writing songs about the one thing that makes us all equal and honest\, death. However\, don't be misled\; the darkness in her songs is more about bringing things to light than bringing folks down.\" The title track of her latest recording\, \"You\, Anniversary\,\" is based on W.S Merwin's poem\, \"For The Anniversary of My Death\,\" in which the poet contemplates the fact that he passes the future day of his death each year unaware. Lindsay's song\, a duet with Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls\, weaves a beautiful portrait of someone awake to her own mortality yet frustrated with how death undermines what she's built.
