Stamps\, the Speaker Series brings respected emerging and established artists/designers from a broad spectrum of media to the School to conduct a public lecture and engage with students\, faculty\, and the larger University and Ann Arbor communities.\n\nCalled one of the most significant artists of his generation\, Stamps graduate Mike Kelley was an iconoclast who introduced a distinctive Detroit sensibility to the international art world with his references to everything from Soupy Sales to the Vernor’s gnome. He was a founding member of Destroy All Monsters\, a collective formed in Ann Arbor in 1974 with artists Jim Shaw\, Niagara and Cary Loren. A major retrospective of his work opened at the Stedelijk Museum\, Amsterdam in 2012\, at the Centre Georges Pompidou\, Paris in 2013 and will travel to MOMA PS1\, NY and MOCA Los Angeles in 2014. Before his death in 2012\, Kelley had begun work based on a life-sized replica of his childhood suburban Detroit home. The new ”˜homestead’ has been relocated to the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD). Mary Clare Stevens\, the Executive Director of the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts\, will speak and present videos documenting the homestead’s journey from downtown Detroit to Kelley’s former home in Westland\, and back again.

The first depicts the Soviet-German political and military alliance in the years 1939-1941. The next sections present the two notorious criminal operations of 1940\, first the Katyn Massacre\, and then the AB Operation. The exhibit also presents profiles of several victims\, including families that fell victim to both aggressors. Finally\, the exhibit looks at the big picture of these operations\, depicting their geographical range and documenting the lack of punishment for the vast majority of the Third Reich and the USSR officers responsible for these crimes.\n\nSponsored by The Institute of National Remembrance\, Poland\nThe University of Michigan\, Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures\nThe Polski Klub and Polish Cultural Fund - Ann Arbor UID:15053-1193745@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15053 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,poland,world war ii,wwll LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - First Floor Connector Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131001T111025 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131010T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131010T220000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Orange Revolution in Ukraine: Presidential Campaign Memorabilia DESCRIPTION:The Orange Revolution exhibit includes campaign memorabilia from the 2004 presidential elections in Ukraine such as brochures\, posters\, the ubiquitous orange scarf\, t-shirts\, bumper stickers\, postcards\, pins\, etc. The exhibit offers a small sampling of campaign rhetoric for and against each of the presidential candidates -- Yushchenko and Yanukovich. Yuschchenko was the pro-democracy and pro-Western candidate\, while Yanukovich was backed by the pro-communist\, authoritarian Ukrainian regime. The first round of voting took place in November 2004\, however\, the results were nullified by the Supreme Court when it determined that there was widespread election fraud. Viktor Yushchenko won the presidency during the second round of voting in December 2004. Visitors will also read about the experiences of two election observers from Michigan who were in Ukraine during those heady days of change.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

Strotmeyer\, Ph.D.\, M.P.H. \n\nImpairments in sensory and motor peripheral nerve function are common in older adults\, but are often underappreciated. These impairments are related to treatable risk factors\, such as diabetes\, vitamin B12 deficiency and peripheral vascular disease. Importantly\, poor peripheral nerve function is associated with lower bone mineral density\, lower muscle function and physical performance\, more falls and fall injuries\, and increased disability outcomes. These relationships exist not only for clinical neuropathy\, but for subtle age-related declines in the peripheral nerves\, which are prevalent and exist subclinically. This presentation develops an emerging paradigm of muscle and bone aging that recognizes the critical role of neural aspects in explaining and ultimately preventing the loss of physical function. - See more at: http://www.sph.umich.edu/iscr/news_events/event.cfm?ID=3204#sthash.kDpuHeuP.dpuf\n\nOctober 10\, 2013\n12:00 - 1:30 p.m.\n1655 SPH I\n1415 Washington Heights\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48109-2029\nSponsored by Epidemiology\nContact Information: Stacy Babcock (734) 764-5435 - See more at: http://www.sph.umich.edu/iscr/news_events/event.cfm?ID=3204#sthash.kDpuHeuP.dpuf UID:15125-1193859@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15125 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:health and wellness LOCATION:Public Health II - 1655 School of Public Health I CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130930T132350 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131010T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131010T124000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Small group discussion: How to land a full-time job with limited prior experience DESCRIPTION:Bring your specific questions about landing a full-time job with limited prior experience to a small group of your peers and a seasoned Career Center counselor.\n\nThis lively discussion will take place at the Career Center.

Dr. Iris Kesternich will present a talk entitled: \n\nHomo hippocraticus or homo economics: On physician agency\, distributional preferences and professional norms\n\nSummary: Physician decisions determine both the level and the distribution of health care spending to a large extent. The analysis of physician agency describes how physicians trade-off their own and patient benefits when a third party bears the cost for the provision of their services. This project concentrates on two aspects that have received little attention in the discussion on physician agency so far: First\, how are distributional preferences defined in situations of concentrated benefits (patients) and dispersed costs (tax payers or insurees)? And secondly\, how do medical ethics affect the trade-off between physician profit\, patient benefit and society?\n\nDr. Kestenich is Assistant Professor at the Seminar for Comparative Economics\, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.\n UID:15099-1193823@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15099 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:bioethics,health communication,medical decision making LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex - NCRC, Building 16, 266C CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131004T100640 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131010T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131010T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Marble Fairbanks DESCRIPTION:Marble Fairbanks is an architecture\, design and research office in New York City founded in 1990 by Scott Marble and Karen Fairbanks.

Later defined as “Darwin’s Naturalization Hypothesis”\, he hypothesized that more distantly related species would be more dissimilar in their functional traits\, and thus\, compete less for community resources. Therefore\, under this hypothesis\, introduced species that are more distantly related to the native community would be more likely to possess novel traits that would allow them to successfully establish. In this talk I will provide a brief history of modern tests of Darwin’s Naturalization Hypothesis\, with a focus on the use of phylogenies to investigate evolutionary patterns of the naturalization process\, and then discuss an example from our own work in the San Juan Islands in the Pacific Northwest. This archipelago has been recently and dramatically invaded–on the 80 uninhabited islands that were measured\, 30% of the flora now consists of introduced species. Using a combination of floristic data\, a robust time-scaled community phylogeny\, and data for five ecologically relevant functional traits (specific leaf area\, seed mass\, maximum height\, leaf size\, and leaf nitrogen content)\, I will deconstruct Darwin’s Naturalization Hypothesis in an attempt to better understand the subtleties of community assembly in the context of the naturalization process.

Daily interactions with the police are meaningful encounters for residents in distressed inner-city neighborhoods. In San Francisco's Fillmore neighborhood\, where Prof. Jones conducted field research over a five-year period (2005-2010)*\, young men often refer to these everyday encounters as \"the regular routine.\"\n\nIn this talk\, Prof. Jones draws on observation\, in-depth interviews and the systematic analysis of video recorded police-citizen encounters to illustrate the range of ways that such encounters unfold in young people's everyday lives and the implications of these routine encounters for healthy adolescent development. Special attention is paid to how such encounters shape the gender socialization of young men in this setting. The talk ends with a discussion of key questions to consider in future research on \"stop-and-frisk\" and other targeted police practices.\n\n*This research was supported\, in part\, by the William T.

Finally\, the exhibit looks at the big picture of these operations\, depicting their geographical range and documenting the lack of punishment for the vast majority of the Third Reich and the USSR officers responsible for these crimes.\n\nSponsored by The Institute of National Remembrance\, Poland\nThe University of Michigan\, Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures\nThe Polski Klub and Polish Cultural Fund - Ann Arbor UID:15053-1193746@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15053 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,exhibition,poland,world war ii,wwll LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - First Floor Connector Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131001T111025 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131011T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131011T220000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Orange Revolution in Ukraine: Presidential Campaign Memorabilia DESCRIPTION:The Orange Revolution exhibit includes campaign memorabilia from the 2004 presidential elections in Ukraine such as brochures\, posters\, the ubiquitous orange scarf\, t-shirts\, bumper stickers\, postcards\, pins\, etc. The exhibit offers a small sampling of campaign rhetoric for and against each of the presidential candidates -- Yushchenko and Yanukovich. Yuschchenko was the pro-democracy and pro-Western candidate\, while Yanukovich was backed by the pro-communist\, authoritarian Ukrainian regime. The first round of voting took place in November 2004\, however\, the results were nullified by the Supreme Court when it determined that there was widespread election fraud. Viktor Yushchenko won the presidency during the second round of voting in December 2004. Visitors will also read about the experiences of two election observers from Michigan who were in Ukraine during those heady days of change.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

Both the nature of its growing social and political influence and the political implications of its rise\, however\, have differed markedly across the states that comprise the region. The aim of this symposium is two-fold: first\, to explore the different manifestations of Islamism and its impact in both Muslim-majority states (e.g.\, Indonesia and Malaysia) and Muslim-minority states (e.g.\, Philippines and Thailand)\; and second\, to provide a comparative perspective so as to stimulate discussion among scholars with different regional expertise. The symposium thus highlights two panels of renowned experts on Southeast Asia\, followed by a keynote address on the future of Islamism in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) by one of the most prominent scholars of the MENA.\n\n \n\nIntro 9:15 - 9:30 a.m.\nDr. Pauline Jones Luong\, Islamic Studies Program Director\n\nPanel 1: 9:30 a.m. - 12 p.m.\nElectoral Politics in Muslim Majority States\nChair: Allen Hicken\, Department of Political Science\, U-M\nPanel Participants:\nKikue Hamayotsu\, Northern Illinois University\nThomas Pepinsky\, Cornell University\nMeredith Weiss\, SUNY\n\nPanel 2: 1 - 3:30 p.m.\nPolitical Mobilization in Muslim Minority States\nChair: Pauline Jones Luong\nPanel Participants:\nJoseph Chinyong Liow\, Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore\nDuncan McCargo\, University of Leeds\nJoel Selway\, Brigham Young University\n\nBreak: 3:30 - 4 p.m.\n\nKeynote Address: 4 p.m.\nIslamism in the Middle East and North Africa: Between Domination and Rejection\nDr. Marina Ottaway\, Senior Scholar\; Wilson Center\, Middle East Program\nDiscussant:: Terence Gomez\, University of Malaya (Visiting Scholar\, CSEAS\, University of Michigan)\nSponsored by: Main Sponsor ISP\, Co-sponsors CSEAS\, WCED UID:15179-1194024@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15179 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:islam,southeast asia LOCATION:School of Social Work Building - Room 1636 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130906T151656 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131011T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131011T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Nam Center for Korean Studies--(Re)-Discovering Sport in Korea: Guts\, Glory\, and Geurimja DESCRIPTION:Sport is a multifaceted phenomenon that is often utilized as a powerful agent for social and economic development. Individuals\, institutions\, businesses\, and governments have actively leveraged sport to drive significant impact and development in a variety of social\, economic\, and political contexts in Korea and of Korean sports abroad. Although emphasis on the elite sport system and hosting mega events (e.g.\, 1988 Seoul Olympics\, 2002 FIFA World Cup\, and 2018 PyeongChang Olympics) may have contributed to gain significant international recognition and national pride\, much less has been scrutinized or documented about the fundamental values\, social implications\, and complex dynamics of sport in the context of contemporary Korea. How do media representations of sport contribute to Korean nationalistic sentiments? How are sport articulated in cultural products (such as Hallyu)? How does Korea fit into the global promotion–and the reception of that promotion–of martial arts such as Taekwondo? How does/whether policy-setting around mega events widen the disparity between elite and amateur sport? What are the challenges for sport properties and facilities to become more financially viable? What is the current state of players’ association in Korean professional sport industry? What are the effects of scandals such as sport betting and match-fixing on not only the sport industry in Korea\, but also on Korea’s national self-image? What important challenges and issues remain for exploration to understand sport’s full potential in making positive and sustainable economic impact and social utilities in Korea?\n\nTaking a multidisciplinary approach\, the international conference\, “(Re)-Discovering Sport in Korea: Guts\, Glory\, and Geurimja” hopes to bring together scholars from across disciplines to address any and all aspects of the phenomenon of sport and the physical culture in contemporary Korea. This conference\, sponsored by the University of Michigan Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Kinesiology\, and the Academy of Korean Studies\, is not only the first conference to contemplate Korea in the context of sports\, but also will be the largest academic gathering in the United States dedicated to various themes around Korean sports. We hope to channel the integrative and cohesive characteristics inherent in sport into this conference to discover–or re-discover–the role of sport in Korea. The goal of this conference is to encourage\, support\, and showcase research that examines the role of sport in Korea from a multitude of perspectives.\n\nPlease direct any further questions about the conference to the organizers at sport.korea@umich.edu.\n\nOrganizers: Dae Hee Kwak (School of Kinesiology\, University of Michigan)\, Nojin Kwak (Nam Center/Department of Communication Studies\, University of Michigan)\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Kinesiology\, and the Academy of Korean Studies UID:14522-1192518@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/14522 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:korea,sports LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20131001T171933 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131011T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131011T233000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Oculus Rift Hackathon DESCRIPTION:Presented in conjunction with the Ann Arbor District Library\, All Hands Active\, Ann Arbor Game Makers Meetup and WolverineSoft\, the Oculus Rift Hackathon is your chance to experience the dream of the 90’s and the biggest thing in gaming right now. \n\nParticipants must attend the Oculus Rift Hackathon Kick Off from 7-8:30 PM on Friday\, Oct 11\, at the Ann Arbor District Library’s Downtown location to join one of 8 teams to participate.

Through literati and imperial writings on these two structures preserved in a series of three local gazetteers on Hangzhou spanning a century\, we can see the shift in discourses on the city\, from standing as an index of rising economic and cultural importance to signifying anxieties about territorial loss and the pleasures of the city.\n\nBenjamin B. Ridgway is a Visiting Lecturer of Chinese Studies at the University of Illinois\, Champaign-Urbana\, investigating the intersections between geographical and literary discourses during the Song dynasty. Previously he taught Chinese language and literature at Middlebury College and Valparaiso University. He recently published an article on Su Shi’s song lyrics as a poetry of national loss in the early Southern Song in CLEAR. He is completing a manuscript on the themes of travel and displacement in Su Shi’s song lyrics entitled From the Banquet to the Border: Landscape and Literati Identity in Chinese Song Lyrics at the Turn of the Twelfth Century.\n\nPhoto caption: Map of Hangzhou’s West Lake and surrounding mountains take from the local gazetteer Xianchun Lin’an Zhi (1268) UID:14127-1191803@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/14127 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:benjamin ridgway,china,chinese history,cium,hangzhou LOCATION:Michigan League - Henderson Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130904T135943 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131011T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131011T213000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:CJS Film Series - Forest of Oppression–A Record of the Struggle at Takasaki City University of Economics DESCRIPTION:After their first film\, Sea of Youth\, the film team turned itself into a full-fledged collective: the Independent Screening Organization\, or Jieso for short. This was the precursor to Ogawa Productions\, and as the name indicates\, their focus was on reception. This was because they discovered there was no easy way to show Sea of Youth. Jieso networked social movements and film fans across Japan to create an alternative distribution route. Their next film\, Forest of Oppression\, turns to the phenomenon of students barricading themselves inside schools to various political ends. They chose Takasaki City University of Economics\, and audiences were shocked by the vigor and violence of this protest in such a minor university. The film put Ogawa on the map.

Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

His extraordinary guitar picking and exceptional stylistic range developed over the next decade. David's live shows\, rarer since he took up violin-making full time\, range from Texas swing to bluegrass\, blues\, classical music\, and anything else that might cross his mind. In the words of the New York Times\, Bromberg \"has such control of his audience that he can\, at one moment\, hold it in his hand with a tender\, touching yet funny anecdotal song\, and then set it romping and stomping with a raucous bit of raunch. He is electrifying.\" We might add that he picked up on the humor in country and classic blues as well as anyone else in the folk revival scene\, making his shows a great deal of fun. David appears tonight with his quintet\, with whom he's currently recording a new album at Levon Helm Studios\, so expect new music!

Their ethereal sounds–dreamy\, sweeping\, highly literate and melancholy–have drawn comparisons to the likes of Cowboy Junkies. Says Leslie Benson of the Dayton City Paper: \"The music of Cincinnati-based folk/roots band Over the Rhine seeps into you with a rich hunger -- each note a separate\, glimmering cloud-diamond.\" And someone once described OTR\"s music as a mash-up of spirituality\, whimsy and sensuality (\"thank you\, thank you\, thank you\,\" they say). If you've never heard Over the Rhine\, this is a great time to check them out! Their opener is Tift Merritt\, in the words of The New Yorker \"the bearer of a proud tradition of distaff country soul that reaches back to artists like Dusty Springfield and Bobbie Gentry.\" Emmylou Harris said she \"stood out like a diamond in a coal patch\,\" and she's a Southern storytelling songwriter with few peers.

Individuals\, institutions\, businesses\, and governments have actively leveraged sport to drive significant impact and development in a variety of social\, economic\, and political contexts in Korea and of Korean sports abroad. Although emphasis on the elite sport system and hosting mega events (e.g.\, 1988 Seoul Olympics\, 2002 FIFA World Cup\, and 2018 PyeongChang Olympics) may have contributed to gain significant international recognition and national pride\, much less has been scrutinized or documented about the fundamental values\, social implications\, and complex dynamics of sport in the context of contemporary Korea. How do media representations of sport contribute to Korean nationalistic sentiments? How are sport articulated in cultural products (such as Hallyu)? How does Korea fit into the global promotion–and the reception of that promotion–of martial arts such as Taekwondo? How does/whether policy-setting around mega events widen the disparity between elite and amateur sport? What are the challenges for sport properties and facilities to become more financially viable? What is the current state of players’ association in Korean professional sport industry? What are the effects of scandals such as sport betting and match-fixing on not only the sport industry in Korea\, but also on Korea’s national self-image? What important challenges and issues remain for exploration to understand sport’s full potential in making positive and sustainable economic impact and social utilities in Korea?\n\nTaking a multidisciplinary approach\, the international conference\, “(Re)-Discovering Sport in Korea: Guts\, Glory\, and Geurimja” hopes to bring together scholars from across disciplines to address any and all aspects of the phenomenon of sport and the physical culture in contemporary Korea. This conference\, sponsored by the University of Michigan Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Kinesiology\, and the Academy of Korean Studies\, is not only the first conference to contemplate Korea in the context of sports\, but also will be the largest academic gathering in the United States dedicated to various themes around Korean sports. We hope to channel the integrative and cohesive characteristics inherent in sport into this conference to discover–or re-discover–the role of sport in Korea. The goal of this conference is to encourage\, support\, and showcase research that examines the role of sport in Korea from a multitude of perspectives.\n\nPlease direct any further questions about the conference to the organizers at sport.korea@umich.edu.\n\nOrganizers: Dae Hee Kwak (School of Kinesiology\, University of Michigan)\, Nojin Kwak (Nam Center/Department of Communication Studies\, University of Michigan)\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Kinesiology\, and the Academy of Korean Studies UID:14522-1192519@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/14522 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:korea,sports LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130822T132305 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131012T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131012T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:American Foodways: The Jewish Contribution DESCRIPTION:Highlighting Jewish contributions to American culinary history from 1660 to 2013\, this exhibit includes Jewish-American charity cookbooks representing all fifty states from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive at the University of Michigan Library.

These interpretations developed into paintings called \"Sky Fields\" where the entire canvas became a unified surface activated by thousands of small brush strokes of color. \n\nTo learn more about the artists visit their web sites below.\n\nDennis Guastella: http://theartofdennisguastella.blogspot.com\n\nRon Teachworth: http://www.ronteachworth.com\n UID:15051-1193723@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15051 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,arts,exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Gallery (Room 1019) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130822T132305 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131013T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131013T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:American Foodways: The Jewish Contribution DESCRIPTION:Highlighting Jewish contributions to American culinary history from 1660 to 2013\, this exhibit includes Jewish-American charity cookbooks representing all fifty states from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive at the University of Michigan Library.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

She has returned to a technique that she learned years ago as an exchange student in Peru - thinning and shaping porcelain using a wooden paddle and river stone. Tremel finds the challenge of piercing the thin walls of the clay at their most fragile state to be an exercise in understanding the fleeting tenuousness of beauty itself. Among other things\, Tremel is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

Her mother introduced her to needle arts at an early age. After receiving a BFA in art and interior design from Wayne State\, she began to explore fibers as an art form. Many of her art quilts have architectural themes but she is most fascinated by the interplay of hue and pattern\, often drawing inspiration from the color\, energy\, movement\, and rhythms of ethnographic rituals as well as jazz\, blues and gospel music. Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally\, and she is much in demand as a lecturer and juror.

To create her witty fabric paintings\, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens\, flannels\, cottons\, calicos\, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand\, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful\, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work\, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country\, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.

Greetings from Gibraltar draws on the geographic as a design paradigm\, a condition in which designers are being compelled to address and transform larger contexts and address issues\, which had previously been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or regional planning. \n\nThe need to address such ”˜geographic’ aspects has prompted designers to re-examine tools of representation as well forms of the architectural object.\n\nThe work was developed in the context of a 2013 University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Travel Studio to the Strait of Gibraltar. Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time. The postcard-joiners construct a map of the Strait together with the series of architectural interventions proposed in that geography. It \nalso creates a narrative\, as if the viewer moved through the space\, encountering a series of detail views as well as constructing a panorama and a map of the landscape.\n\nGibraltar Studio 2013\nProfessors: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nStudents: John Arnold\, Peter Dumbadze\, Lyla Feinsod\, Phillip Gavrilovski\, Monica Griffin\, Andrew Ko\, Yuan Liang\, Yunzhi Ou\, Jason Park\, Austin Tsai\, Adam Wagner\, Suo Ya\n\nSpecial thanks to Andrew Ko for coordinating the exhibition.\n\nAcknowledgments: Monica Ponce De Leon\, Dean Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nA note about the travel studio to Gibraltar:\nThe studio investigates the geographic as a design question. The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

She has returned to a technique that she learned years ago as an exchange student in Peru - thinning and shaping porcelain using a wooden paddle and river stone. Tremel finds the challenge of piercing the thin walls of the clay at their most fragile state to be an exercise in understanding the fleeting tenuousness of beauty itself. Among other things\, Tremel is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

In this body of work\, poodles are represented in various dilemmas of life. The functional white ware is lighthearted\, so simple tasks such as eating and drinking can become playful. Each piece is individually handcrafted with feedback from her standard parti (two-colored) poodle\, who loves to crack a joke. Blackburn earned a BFA from Ohio State University\, and her studio is Grins Clay.

Her mother introduced her to needle arts at an early age. After receiving a BFA in art and interior design from Wayne State\, she began to explore fibers as an art form. Many of her art quilts have architectural themes but she is most fascinated by the interplay of hue and pattern\, often drawing inspiration from the color\, energy\, movement\, and rhythms of ethnographic rituals as well as jazz\, blues and gospel music. Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally\, and she is much in demand as a lecturer and juror.

To create her witty fabric paintings\, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens\, flannels\, cottons\, calicos\, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand\, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful\, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work\, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country\, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.

Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez. The studio was initiated in analytic and cartographic investigations of individual port-cities case studies\, subsequently complied to highlight relational geographies\, flows\, add exchanges across the Strait. The travel journey began with a passion for sensory and aesthetic knowledge anchored by seascapes.\n\nThe resultant is a landscape that depicts space and time.

The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

She has returned to a technique that she learned years ago as an exchange student in Peru - thinning and shaping porcelain using a wooden paddle and river stone. Tremel finds the challenge of piercing the thin walls of the clay at their most fragile state to be an exercise in understanding the fleeting tenuousness of beauty itself. Among other things\, Tremel is a lecturer at the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

Her mother introduced her to needle arts at an early age. After receiving a BFA in art and interior design from Wayne State\, she began to explore fibers as an art form. Many of her art quilts have architectural themes but she is most fascinated by the interplay of hue and pattern\, often drawing inspiration from the color\, energy\, movement\, and rhythms of ethnographic rituals as well as jazz\, blues and gospel music. Harris’ goal is to make her quilts dance with the same excitement\, exuberance and joy that music gives her. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally\, and she is much in demand as a lecturer and juror.

To create her witty fabric paintings\, she first hunts for her palette of fabrics: linens\, flannels\, cottons\, calicos\, even velvet. Then she cuts her designs freehand\, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool to define the borders of her figures with a beautiful\, almost invisible satin-stitch. Roberts-Antieau then finishes her pieces with hand embroidery work\, and frames the finished art behind glass in hand-painted frames. On exhibit in permanent collections across the country\, the joy in Roberts-Antieau’s award winning work is contagious.

Over the four weeks of June 2013\, the studio travelled from Madrid through Granada\, Seville\, Cadiz\, Gibraltar/La Linea\, Algeciras\, Ceuta\, Tangier\, and Fez.

The Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural entrance to the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world\, second only to the Malacca Straits in Singapore. Europe and Africa are separated by 14 km at the narrowest point\, and ferries cross between the two continents every day in as little as 35 minutes.\n\nThe Strait of Gibraltar has for long stimulated the architectural imaginary. As early as the 1920s the German architect Herman Sorgel proposed damming Gibraltar and draining the Mediterranean to unite Europe and Africa into a new supercontinent. The project aspired to provide a \"habitat\" in North Africa for an overpopulated Europe. How do contemporary issues of access to water\, food\, energy\, and the rescaling of the political question requalify the megaproject imaginary\, regional networks\, and the geographic project?\n\nThe studio explores the architectural and urban potentials of the territory of Gibraltar addressing its conditions as a spatial enclave\, a gateway to the Mediterranean\, and a bridge between Africa and Europe. Along the lines of the journal New Geographies\, the studio responds to a condition in which designers are increasingly compelled to address and transform larger contexts and to respond to problems that had been confined to the domains of engineering\, ecology\, or policy.

The phenomenon was closely identified with the Jewish lower middle classes\, but its appeal was much broader\, encompassing middle class professionals and members of the nobility as well. Perhaps the most famous client of Budapest Orpheum was the Archduke Rudolf\, who made frequent trips from Vienna to sample the famous nightlife of Budapest. \n\nThe lecture explores the broader cultural and theoretical implications of Orpheum in the Central European context. It argues that Orpheum challenged the private/public taxonomy of bourgeois ideology and created a new notion of intimacy that was public\, performative and non-domestic. It thus made possible the rise of a uniquely Central European version of bohemia\, which helped transform Jewish artisans into urban consumers and helped create for society at large an alternative to the conformism of middle class cultural life.\n\nMary Gluck is professor of history in the Department of History and Comparative Literature at Brown University. She is an intellectual-cultural historian of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Europe\, with special expertise in Central Europe and France. She has published extensively on Georg Lukacs\, modernism\, and avant-garde culture and the Jewish Question\, and is the author of Popular Bohemia: Modernism and Urban Culture in Nineteenth-Century Paris (Harvard\, 2005). Her current research focuses on Jewish humor and assimilation in fin-de-siècle Budapest and on bohemias in a global perspective.\n\nCo-sponsors: Avant Garde Interest Group.

(Free parking is available on Sundays.)\n\nBoth artists work in a variety of media\, and have an ongoing commitment to non-objective painting.The richly developed surfaces of Dennis Guastella's paintings demonstrate his passion for the physical beauty of paint explored through a variety of application methods ranging from squeeze bottles to thick layers of acrylic paint that are dried on a non-absorbent surface\, removed\, and then cut and collaged onto a final painting panel. \n\nRon Teachworth's abstractions evolved from his early landscape paintings. These interpretations developed into paintings called \"Sky Fields\" where the entire canvas became a unified surface activated by thousands of small brush strokes of color. \n\nTo learn more about the artists visit their web sites below.\n\nDennis Guastella: http://theartofdennisguastella.blogspot.com\n\nRon Teachworth: http://www.ronteachworth.com\n UID:15051-1193726@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15051 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,arts,exhibit,exhibition,visual arts LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Gallery (Room 1019) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130920T102612 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20131016T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20131016T130000 SUMMARY:Other:Orientation and Q&A: International Studies DESCRIPTION:If you are considering a major or minor in international studies you should attend an orientation and Q&A session.
