His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition.

A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago.

Lacking sound\, film comedians and clowns created a world of physical humor that sometimes achieved the sublime. This course examines the individual artists of the ”˜golden age of comedy’ and considers the more general question\, why is the funny so funny? We will look at some of the early progenitors of silent comedy such as Mack Sennett and the Keystone Cops and pay special attention to Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176750@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130317T002847 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130322T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130322T123000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: Mitchell Silver\, American Planning Association DESCRIPTION: Mitchell Silver is Chief Planning & Development Officer and Planning Director for the City of Raleigh\, North Carolina and is also president (2011-2013) of the American Planning Association (APA).

The buildings\, projects\, publications\, teachings and writings associated with his office have been influential in the acceptance and use of advanced materials and technologies for design and fabrication. As design opportunities today extend across multiple scales and media\, his studio Greg Lynn FORM continues to define the cutting edge of design in a variety of fields.\n\nLynn has received numerous awards including the American Academy of Arts & Letters Architecture Award in 2003. In 2001\, Time Magazine named Lynn one of 100 of the most innovative people in the world for the 21st century. In 2005\, Forbes Magazine named him one of the ten most influential living architects.

In 2010\, he was awarded a fellowship from United States Artists.\n\nHis work is in the permanent collections of the most important design and architecture museums in the world including the CCA\, SFMoMA\, ICA Chicago and MoMA. Because of his early studies in philosophy and architecture he has been involved in combining the realities of design and construction with the speculative\, theoretical and experimental potentials of writing and teaching. This unique and innovative approach to design has also established him as an influential figure across many disciplines and led to consultations and collaborations with companies like BMW\, Swarovski\, Alessi\, Vitra\, Disney and Imaginary Forces.\n\nIn 2002\, he left his position as the Professor of Spatial Conception and Exploration at the ETHZ (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich) and became an Ordentlicher University Professor at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. He is a Studio Professor at UCLA’s school of Architecture and Urban Design where he is currently spearheading the development of an experimental research robotics lab.

Morris\, both a choreographer and performer in this evening-length work\, explores the complicated and disconnected landscape of memory loss diseases. The work is a collaborative journey with six female performers who reflect the fragile\, but tenacious identities of women suffering with memory loss diseases. Morris uses original choreography\, costumes\, video\, projection imagery\, text\, music\, and props to create an expressive and effective visceral and visual experience to highlight the different stages of the disease and how it causes mental degradation over time. The use of imagery and sound creates a warped sense of time\, orientation\, and a sense of empathy grounded in visceral realities. A visual landscape of both what is lost and found is presented through the moving bodies of Lynsey Colden\, Alison Coleman\, Isabella Ingels\, Lauren B. Morris\, Caty Raupp\, and Deanna Tomasetta. The three videos shown throughout the work represent the stories of Morris’ grandmothers who have each been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. This work is in collaboration with Martin Montgomery\, director and editor of the videos\; Katherine Nelson\, costume designer\; and Dennis Morris and Raphael Szymanski\, music and sound composition.

Born Kevin Moore and a native of the same South Los Angeles streets that spawned hip-hop's most aggressive strand\, he grew up with the blues and turned to the acoustic blues of the Mississippi Delta after playing a bluesman in a Los Angeles stage production. As he built up a repertory of original songs rooted in country blues\, he began to stand apart from other blues revivalists through the inspiring quality of his music. Keb' Mo' draws on the spirituality inherent in the blues even as he writes about his modern surroundings. Keb' Mo's latest album\, \"The Reflection\,\" captures his musical spirit and virtuosity at its peak.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176751@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130221T141235 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130323T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130323T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Families of the Incarcerated DESCRIPTION:Please come join us for a unique event that offers an incredible\, and often unheard\, perspective from the families affected by the American Judicial system.

Jenkins tells the story of two people\, Anthony\, a black man\, and Lucy\, a white woman\, who return to Detroit after a long absence to find a very different city. They grew up on the east side in different worlds only three blocks from each other\, together survived the events of July 1967–alternately described as a riot and a rebellion–and now meet again forty years later. As they revisit their past through Anthony’s paintings\, they come to a new understanding of their relationship to each other and the future of the city. Two actors play all the characters in Spirit\, demonstrating our connections to each other\, even in our moments of deepest conflict. The Spirit of Detroit reminds us why we stayed\, why we left\, why we came back and why we’re here now–the opportunity to create a twenty-first century Detroit. The play\, which has had staged readings at Matrix Theatre in Detroit\, will be directed by Kate Mendeloff of the UM Residential College. It is a featured program University of Michigan’s LSA Winter 2013 Theme Semester Understanding Race. http://understandingraceproject.org/ UID:12660-1181849@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12660 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:theater,theatre LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130211T195817 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130323T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130323T210000 SUMMARY:Community Service:UM SOUP: A Dinner Funding Micro-Grants for Creative Projects in Ann Arbor DESCRIPTION:UM SOUP is inspired by Detroit SOUP\, an organization founded in 2010.Like our counterpart\, we provide the unique opportunity for your vision to be funded and supported by your community.

Morris\, both a choreographer and performer in this evening-length work\, explores the complicated and disconnected landscape of memory loss diseases. The work is a collaborative journey with six female performers who reflect the fragile\, but tenacious identities of women suffering with memory loss diseases. Morris uses original choreography\, costumes\, video\, projection imagery\, text\, music\, and props to create an expressive and effective visceral and visual experience to highlight the different stages of the disease and how it causes mental degradation over time. The use of imagery and sound creates a warped sense of time\, orientation\, and a sense of empathy grounded in visceral realities. A visual landscape of both what is lost and found is presented through the moving bodies of Lynsey Colden\, Alison Coleman\, Isabella Ingels\, Lauren B. Morris\, Caty Raupp\, and Deanna Tomasetta. The three videos shown throughout the work represent the stories of Morris’ grandmothers who have each been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. This work is in collaboration with Martin Montgomery\, director and editor of the videos\; Katherine Nelson\, costume designer\; and Dennis Morris and Raphael Szymanski\, music and sound composition.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

Jenkins tells the story of two people\, Anthony\, a black man\, and Lucy\, a white woman\, who return to Detroit after a long absence to find a very different city. They grew up on the east side in different worlds only three blocks from each other\, together survived the events of July 1967–alternately described as a riot and a rebellion–and now meet again forty years later. As they revisit their past through Anthony’s paintings\, they come to a new understanding of their relationship to each other and the future of the city. Two actors play all the characters in Spirit\, demonstrating our connections to each other\, even in our moments of deepest conflict. The Spirit of Detroit reminds us why we stayed\, why we left\, why we came back and why we’re here now–the opportunity to create a twenty-first century Detroit. The play\, which has had staged readings at Matrix Theatre in Detroit\, will be directed by Kate Mendeloff of the UM Residential College. It is a featured program University of Michigan’s LSA Winter 2013 Theme Semester Understanding Race. http://understandingraceproject.org/ UID:12660-1181850@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12660 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:theater,theatre LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130205T144313 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130324T193000 SUMMARY:Performance:Griffin House DESCRIPTION:Ohio-born\, Nashville-based songwriter Griffin House merges irresistible pop-rock hooks with moody Americana shades and an ability to boil his experiences down to sparse songs.

The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176753@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130221T131831 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130325T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130325T180000 SUMMARY:Other:18th Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners DESCRIPTION:PCAP is proud to present the Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners.

Born in New York City and raised in Montreal\, she spent her childhood immersed in music and often performing with her parents and later her sibling. But Martha is undoubtedly her own person\, with her own sense of style\, creating her own music with an extraordinary versatile and compelling voice. She has recorded a live collection of Edith Piaf songs\, for example\, which it's hard to imagine either of her parents doing. Martha's latest album\, \"Come Home to Mama\,\" features songs inspired by matters of life and death–the death of Kate McGarrigle and the birth of Martha's first child. Says Martha: “This record is a culmination of my life experiences so far. Everything changed for me a couple of years ago and this record is a representation of that and a return to the reason I started writing songs. I’ve made this record as a motherless child and as a mother. Two things I had never been before. For me\, it is a new beginning.” UID:12299-1180777@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12299 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:martha wainwright,music,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

Stephen is originally from Big Rapids\, Michigan\, but she lived and worked in Japan as a teacher and translator for seven years. Seeing origami as a metaphor for hope\, she is inspired by nature – from the bustle of farmers markets\, to cranes circling a snowy corn field\, to children skipping in the rain. Linda Stephen's origami art landscapes are part of public and private collections across the U.S. and Japan\, from the JW Marriott Grand Rapids’ Sister City Collection to the City Hall in Omihachiman\, Japan.

His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

However\, many of the achievements attributed to him may not have taken place. Wallenberg was a less important figure to the Jews of Budapest than Dr. Lutz\, the Swiss diplomat. The prevailing view in the first decades after the Holocaust was that the Jews of Europe “went to death like lemmings.” The glorification of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising implies that it was more honorable to die in the streets of Warsaw than in gas chambers of Treblinka\, but survivors like Dr. Tanay\, the instructor for this class\, believe that it was more honorable to struggle to survive than to be killed in a futile effort to resist.\n UID:12779-1182206@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12779 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:history,jewish resistance,lifelong learning,olli,retirement LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Clarion Hotel & Conference Center, 2900 Jackson Ave CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130319T145541 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130326T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130326T113000 SUMMARY:Presentation:What Keeps Chinese Officials in Check\, If At All?

What are some alternative mechanisms of accountability besides elections and formal political competition? And how effective are they? This panel brings together three political scientists to discuss the function and limits of non-electoral mechanisms of checks and accountability in contemporary China. These include online activism\, a ”˜rule of mandates’ alternative to rule of law\, and market-based media.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176754@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130311T112210 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130326T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130326T130000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Academic Coaching - Maximizing Listening and Note Taking Skills DESCRIPTION:Students are confronted with mountains of information during lectures.

The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176755@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130111T112048 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130327T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130327T133000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture DESCRIPTION:Sergei Guriev\, professor of economics\; president\, Center for Economic and Financial Research\; and rector\, New Economic School.\n\nProfessor Guriev will discuss convergence - the hypothesis that poorer economies' per capita income will grow at faster rates than richer economies - among Russian regions. His findings indicate that while there was no convergence in the 1990s\, the situation changed dramatically in the 2000s. While interregional GDP per capita gaps still persist\, the differentials in incomes and wages decreased substantially. The data shows that fiscal redistribution did not play a major role in convergence\, and therefore his study looks at panel data on the interregional reallocation of capital and labor to try to understand the phenomenon of recent convergence. Guriev finds that capital markets in Russian regions are integrated in such a way that local investment does not depend on local savings\, and that economic growth and financial development has substantially decreased the barriers to labor mobility. While during the 1990s many poor Russian regions were in a poverty trap\, in which potential workers wanted to leave those regions but could not afford to finance the move\, by the 2000s (especially the late 2000s)\, these barriers were no longer binding because overall economic development allowed even the poorest Russian regions to emerge from these poverty traps. In this lecture\, Guriev will compare the interregional gaps in incomes\, wages\, and unemployment rates in Russia and Europe\, and explore how economic growth and development of financial and real estate markets affect the potential for convergence.\n\nSergei Guriev is professor of economics and Rector at the New Economic School in Moscow\, where he is also president of the Center for Economic and Financial Research. Guriev's research interests include contract theory\, corporate governance\, and labor mobility. He teaches graduate courses in microeconomic theory\, contract theory\, and economics of strategy. Guriev has published in international refereed journals including American Economic Review\, Journal of European Economic Association\, Journal of Economic Perspectives\, and American Political Science Review.

It investigates the relation between the production and consumption of scientific knowledge and sexual politics. How did Kinsey’s explicit argument against the homosexual as a separate species become the source of the widespread belief that 10 percent of the U.S. population is homosexual? Ten percent was first articulated by Mattachine founder Harry Hay in the early 1950s and coincided with a new conception of homosexuals as a minority.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org.

There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n UID:11346-1176756@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20121116T150820 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130328T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130328T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series DESCRIPTION:(FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC) \"Gender-based differences in the types of social interactions among older adults in Japan are examined in the context of their effects on subjective well-being. We conducted a longitudinal survey to measure changes in life satisfaction and depression\, and the effects of social interaction on these measures. We find that the number of children seems to be more important as sources of social support for female rather than male elders. Further\, spousal conversation and non-obligatory social interaction\, such as unpaid social activities and friendships\, appears to be important for both male and female older adults. Our findings suggest that social relations among Japanese elders may be moving away from more gender-dependent patterns seen in the past.\"\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nGavin W. Hougham\, a medical sociologist at the University of Chicago\, is Deputy Director of the Center for Health and the Social Sciences and Assistant Professor of Medicine.

However\, there are mechanisms that can lead to more complicated relationships. Hemorrhagic disease in white-tailed deer (caused by a virus vectored by biting midges) displays evidence suggesting the parasite is most active (even maintained in a source-sink sense) in regions with little\, or no disease. I will lay out the case for complex and cryptic transmission using surveillance data\, seroprevalence studies\, statistical and mechanical models and sequence-based phylogeography. In addition to reflecting on the power of interdisciplinary science to shed light on disease ecology\, I will review the potential for similar processes to operate widely in a range of disease systems along with the challenge that cryptic refuges for parasites brings regarding surveillance\, intervention and inference.

Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor\, and are free of charge and open to the public.\n\nJanuary 17: RENOIR and SURREALIST PARIS in Black & White \nA short film directed by Renoir in the late twenties\, right after he had discovered jazz\, Sur un air de Charleston is a little masterpiece\, albeit unknown\, of the silent movie period. In 2028 Paris\, a mysterious African explorer lands with his aeronef on Terra Incognita. There\, he meets a beautiful young Parisian dancer\, who eventually initiates him to the pleasures of Charleston.\nAn essay in reverse anthropology\, a burlesque and surrealist vaudeville\, Sur un air de Charleston is a singular piece of art. A product of the roaring twenties\, it can be construed as a critique of France’s racial context\, then at the height of its colonial Empire. But it also has to be considered on the much broader scale of transatlantic cultural exchanges. Thus\, we start to envision some of the unsuspected links that irrigate and reconfigure the seamingly neat cartography of Western modernism. \nTwo musicians\, Olivier Thémines and Guillaume Hazebrouck\, invite you with anthropologist Emmanuel Parent to discover this astonishing movie with a ciné-concert/conference. The movie\, accompanied by a live original music\, will be followed by a lecture and discussion on the question of race within the artistic context of 1920s France. \n\nJanuary 24: WILSON SMITH \nWilson W. Smith III is a Design Director at Nike\, Inc.\, Beaverton\, Oregon. Smith is currently involved in Nike's Better World projects\, and is a lead designer as a part of Nike's \"Innovation Kitchen\". After becoming a Senior Designer in 1990\, Smith was involved primarily with the concepts of Nike's cross-training and basketball products.\nSmith established much of the design direction for Tennis footwear throughout the 1990s\, and created many athlete-endorsed products including Andre Agassi's signature line. In 1997\, Wilson Smith became the first dedicated designer for Jordan brand\, and is best known for designing the Jordan 16(XVI) and 17(XVII). In 2003\, Wilson became the Design Director of Nike Court\, encompassing all tennis & racquet driven footwear\, while also designing signature products for Nike endorsees Serena Williams\, and Roger Federer. Black Enterprise Magazine recently named Wilson one of America’s Top Black Designers. \n\nJanuary 31: LISA STRAUSFELD\nLisa Strausfeld’s work lies at the intersection of physical and virtual space: where information structures and physical structures meet\, and where the navigation of information and the navigation of buildings join in a single experience. She and her team specialize in digital information projects including the design of large-scale media installations\, software prototypes and user interfaces\, signage and websites for a broad range of civic\, cultural and corporate clients including One Laptop per Child\, GE\, Litl\, Bloomberg\, Gallup\, The New York Times\, M.I.T.\, Brown University\, the Museum of Arts and Design and the Detroit Institute of Arts.\nStrausfeld holds four patents relating to user interfaces and intelligent search and retrieval\, and in 2006 she was named to the Senior Scientist program at the Gallup Organization. In addition to many awards and honors\, Strausfeld was selected as one of Fast Company's \"Masters of Design\" in 2009 and received the National Design Award in the category of Interaction Design in 2010.\n\nFebruary 7: El ANATSUI\nEl Anatsui was born in Anyanko\, Ghana in 1944. Many of Anatsui’s sculptures are mutable in form\, conceived to be so free and flexible that they can be shaped in any way and altered in appearance for each installation. Working with wood\, clay\, metal\, and–most recently–the discarded metal caps of liquor bottles\, Anatsui breaks with sculpture’s traditional adherence to forms of fixed shape while visually referencing the history of abstraction in African and European art. The colorful and densely patterned fields of the works assembled from discarded liquor-bottle caps also trace a broader story of colonial and postcolonial economic and cultural exchange in Africa\, told in the history of cast-off materials. The sculptures in wood and ceramics introduce ideas about the function of objects (their destruction\, transformation\, and regeneration) in everyday life\, and the role of language in deciphering visual symbols. El Anatsui received a BA from the College of Art\, University of Science and Technology\, Kumasi\, Ghana (1969) and since 1975 has taught at the University of Nigeria\, Nsukka. His works are in the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York\; Museum of Modern Art\, New York\; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\; Indianapolis Museum of Art\; British Museum\, London\; and Centre Pompidou\, Paris\, among many others. Major exhibitions of his work have appeared at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute\, Williamstown (2011)\; Royal Ontario Museum\, Toronto (2010)\; National Museum of Ethnology\, Osaka (2010)\; Rice University Art Gallery\, Houston (2010)\; Venice Biennale (2007)\; and the Biennale of African Art\, Senegal (2006). El Anatsui lives and works in Nsukka\, Nigeria.\n\nFebruary 21: TANIA BRUGUERA\nTania Bruguera is one of the leading political and performance artists of her generation. Her work researches ways in which art can be applied to everyday political life\, creating a public forum to debate ideas in a state of contradiction\, focusing on the transformation of the \"viewer\" into one of \"citizenry.\" Bruguera's terms “arte de conducta” (conduct/behavior art) and “arte útil” (useful art) define her practice. In 2010\, Bruguera launched Immigrant Movement International\, a five-year project that helps define the immigrant as a unique\, new global citizen in a postnational world and tests the concept of “useful art\,” by artists actively implementing the merging of art into society’s urgent social\, political\, and scientific issues.\nBruguera’s work has been presented internationally at Documenta 11\, Kassel\, Germany and several biennials including Performa\, Venice\, Gwangju\, and Havana. She has exhibited at the Tate Modern\, London\; Künsthalle Wien\, Vienna\; Centre Pompidou\, Paris\; and the New Museum of Contemporary Art\, New York. \n\nMarch 14: LYNDA BARRY\nLynda Barry has worked as a painter\, cartoonist\, writer\, illustrator\, playwright\, editor\, commentator and teacher and found they are very much alike. She is the inimitable creator behind the seminal comic strip that was syndicated across North America in alternative weeklies for two decades\, Ernie Pook's Comeek\, as well as the books One! Hundred! Demons!\, The! Greatest! of! Marlys!\, Cruddy: An Illustrated Novel\, Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! and The Good Times are Killing Me\, which was adapted as an off-Broadway play and won the Washington State Governor's Award. In 2011\, Drawn & Quarterly published Blabber Blabber Blabber\, the first in a 10-volume retrospective series of her comics work. Her bestselling and acclaimed creative writing-how to-graphic novel for Drawn & Quarterly\, What It Is (2008)\, won the Eisner Award for Best Reality Based Graphic Novel and R.R. Donnelly Award for highest literary achievement by a Wisconsin author.\nWhat It Is (2008) is based on “Writing the Unthinkable”\, a tried-and-true method creative method that is playful\, powerful\, and accessible to anyone with an inquisitive wish to write or remember. With What It Is and Picture This (2010)\, Barry explores the depths of the inner and outer realms of creation and imagination\, where play can be serious\, monsters have purpose\, and not knowing is an answer unto itself.\n\nMarch 21: KEN BURNS\nDocumentary filmmaker Ken Burns has been producing films for PBS for more than 25 years. Since the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981\, Ken has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made. A December 2002 poll conducted by Real Screen Magazine listed The Civil War as second only to Robert Flaherty’s Nanook of the North as the “most influential documentary of all time\,” and named Ken Burns and Robert Flaherty as the “most influential documentary makers” of all time. In March\, 2009\, David Zurawik of The Baltimore Sun said\, “”¦ Burns is not only the greatest documentarian of the day\, but also the most influential filmmaker period. That includes feature filmmakers like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. I say that because Burns not only turned millions of persons onto history with his films\, he showed us a new way of looking at our collective past and ourselves.” The late historian Stephen Ambrose said of his films\, “More Americans get their history from Ken Burns than any other source.” Ken’s films have won twelve Emmy Awards and two Oscar nominations\, and in September of 2008\, at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards\, Ken was honored by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a Lifetime Achievement Award.\nBurns' documentaries include The Civil War\, Baseball\, Jazz\, Thomas Jefferson\, Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery\, Frank Lloyd Wright\, Mark Twain\, Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson\, The War\, The National Parks: America’s Best Idea\, Prohibition and The Dust Bowl.\n\nMarch 28: CARMELITA TROPICANA\nCarmelita Tropicana (a.k.a. Alina Troyano) is a performance artist\, playwright\, and actor. Troyano burst on New York’s downtown performing arts scene in the eighties with her alter ego\, the spitfire Carmelita Tropicana and her counterpart\, the irresistible archetypal Latin macho Pingalito Betancourt\, followed by performances as Hernando Cortez’s horse and la Cucaracha Martina from her childhood fairy tales in Cuba.

This year\, in addition to recording her forthcoming album\, Thao has toured the US with the nationally syndicated NPR program “Radiolab.” Says the New York Times: \"Ms. Nguyen’s voice\, wobbly and rich\, is engaging\, and her gently confessional lyrics ”¦ are equally beguiling.” And Spin calls the new Thao & The Get Down Stay Down single\, \"Holy Roller\,\" \"a lusty yet flighty song ... an intricate\, enigmatically charming creation. The group's new release \"We the Common\,\" Thao says\, \"is an album about wanting to be a human who tries and is grateful for the opportunity. It is about wanting to be better and closer to people.\" This is a fresh sound that is breaking out all over! Tonight's opener is Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside\, who mine a sweet spot between modern and vintage. Sallie’s voice has elicited comparisons to classic jazz and blues icons\, yet it is stoked with the fire of youth and rebellion\; it's an instrument capable of conveying raw emotion and nuanced artistry in the same breath.
