SUMMARY:Exhibition:4\,000 Years for Choice
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition combines two projects by graphic designer Heather Ault. \"4\,000 Years for Choice\" is an exhibition of posters about the age-old practice of abortion and contraception as a means to reclaim reproductive freedom as a deeply personal and life-sustaining act existing throughout all of human history. The \"Reproductive Roots\" series shines a bright light on the many voices from the abortion care and reproductive justice movements\, using vividly designed social media graphics and notecards to inspire conversations from a breadth of perspectives. \n\nHeather Ault is a visual artist\, pro-choice activist\, and independent scholar creating artwork to shift conversations about reproductive rights and justice. She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department. It is cosponsored by the Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. \n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Back Home in Earth’s Garden: Clay & Fibers
DESCRIPTION:Susan Sutherland Barnes has been exploring patterns in nature and the combining of clay and fibers for over thirty years. Her early background\, in painting and printmaking and later a BFA in fibers from St. Mary's College in Notre Dame\, Indiana\, has fostered a unique perspective on working with clay. In this recent body of work\, she continues to follow her interest in the leaf as an iconic motif and incorporates these explorations in a new group of pieces combining round reed basketry and stoneware. Sutherland Barnes recently returned to her home state of Michigan after twenty years away and now maintains a clay and fibers studio in Paw Paw\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Fusion & Separation: Mixed Media on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Mary Rousseaux's works appear to be flowing liquid that melds on the surface. The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux.  She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
DESCRIPTION:The American studio glass movement started in 1962 with glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Snap Line on Detroit: Ink on Rag Paper
DESCRIPTION:Margi Weir began making drawings of ink and ink wash about 10 years ago using a technique that she calls snap line. A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Textures & Patterns: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The compositions in Mary Ellen Taylor's abstract ceramic pieces touch on chaos but maintain clarity through positive and negative spaces\, continuous and broken lines\, and repeating colors. Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scales of Contact:
DESCRIPTION:Scales of Contact: Architecture & Global Infrastructures\, an exhibition of architecture research by Taubman College graduate students\, opens to the public at the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History this Monday\, December 16. \n\nTen students collaboratively designed and fabricated a modified cabinet-of-curiosities to contain select images\, drawings\, and models from the fall semester’s Vast Machines architecture studio taught by Assistant Professor Meredith Miller. Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series - Kyomai and Postwar Japan: Construction of Cultural Memory in Kyoto
DESCRIPTION:“Kyōmai” literally means \"dance of Kyoto\"--the Japanese city known for its cultural tourism. The word “kyōmai” was invented a century after the dance was created\, and was popularized after World War II mainly through the Japanese policy on cultural preservation.   What have people seen and felt in the word\, “kyōmai”? Its popularization was deeply related to the image of Kyoto\, which has been cultivated as an ancient capital. It is also directly connected with Japan’s postwar self-portrait as a country with a long history. I will examine the association between the dance and Japanese identity\, as constructed after 1945.\n\nMariko Okada is currently CJS’s Visiting Scholar and was the 2012-13 Toyota Professor in Residence. She received her Ph.D. from Waseda University in 2011. She won the Suntory Prize for Social Sciences and Humanities for her book\, The Birth of Kyōmai: Inoue-ryu Dance in Nineteenth-Century Kyoto\, Japan\, (Shibunkaku Shuppan\, 2013).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Traditional Jewish Sexual Guidance Through History
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture we will explore some examples of Jewish guides to marital sexuality from various periods. Among other questions\, we will ask what type of written guidance on the marital act was available to Jewish readers through the generations? Did the available guidance regarding the sexual act differ from one generation to the next? If so\, how did the historical and cultural context of each generation impact the prescribed rules of sexual conduct? And can we deduce anything from these texts regarding actual behavior in Jewish bedrooms?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Can a Plantation Be Fair? Fair Trade and Darjeeling Tea Production
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Besky\, author of The Darjeeling Distinction\, explores the frictions between fair trade and the plantation system and highlights how\, in India\, fair trade undermines existing state welfare structures.\n\nFair trade\, organic\, shade grown – on a trip to the supermarket\, these labels guide our purchasing and attest to the conditions of production of the products they adorn\; conditions that we believe are better as the result of our purchases. “Fair trade plantation” may seem like an oxymoron\, as plantation workers are not cooperative farmers – they are industrial laborers who have little capacity to make democratic decisions in the face of the plantation’s structural oppression. In the late 1990s\, however\, tea plantations in Darjeeling\, high up in the Himalayan foothills of Northeast India\, became the first plantations in the world to receive fair trade certification. Hope was high among certifying agencies that fair trade would alleviate the inequities of tea production. Despite these hopes\, the region’s plantation laborers\, who produce some of the world’s most expensive tea\, remain some of the tea industry’s worst paid workers.\n\nBook sales provided by Crazy Wisdom Bookstore and Tea Room.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Conversations on Europe
DESCRIPTION:Mustafa Aksakal\, associate professor of history\, Georgetown University\n\nThe Dutch scholar Snouck Hurgronje famously characterized the Ottoman declaration of jihad against the Entente in November 1914 as a “holy war made in Germany.” Was the jihad declaration really cooked up in Berlin? Did it result from the wishes of the German emperor\, Kaiser Hajji Muhammad Wilhelm II\, as Entente critics sometimes referred to him? This talk explores the Ottoman origins of the 1914 declaration.\n\nWorld War I was a major turning point in world history that brought Europe’s long nineteenth century to a close and ushered in the conflicts of the twentieth century. Beginning in 2014\, the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia is sponsoring a series of programs–WWI 1914-2014: Reflecting on the 100th Anniversary of WWI–that examine the many ways that WWI changed Europe’s place in the world.\n\nSponsors: CES\, Center for Middle Eastern & North African Studies

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Designing the Virtual Campus
DESCRIPTION:Join Liz Losh of UC San Diego as she talks about technology in educational design.\n\nInstructional technologies are frequently imagined as being new\, cheap\, light\, compact\, invisible\, and laborsaving. Many envisioning digital “reform” in higher education hope to overturn existing practices and values and to ascend to a realm of pure content delivery unfettered by the petty demands of the material and embodied world. Yet technologies function thanks to platforms that rely on physical constraints and affordances\, and they operate in the context of users’ aspirations\, desires\, and fears regarding regimes of labor and property.\n\nPart of the Feminist Digital Pedagogies series. #FemTechNet\n\nSponsored by Digital Studies at the University of Michigan\, The Department of American Culture\, the Institute for Research on Women & Gender\, and the Cohn Fund in the Department of Screen Arts and Culture. Additional supporters to be named at event.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar
DESCRIPTION:A fundamental theme in ecology aims to elucidate the mechanisms promoting species persistence. Species are respondent to environmental and anthropogenic perturbations\, and have trophic dependences that cascade through ecosystems. Thus\, the ecological communities that form exhibit spatial and temporal heterogeneity. The principle goal of my research program is to evaluate the biogeography of ecological communities by examining three leading questions in vertebrate systems. 1) What abiotic and biotic factors delimit species ranges including those of conservation and human concern? 2) How are species interactions distributed across scales? 3) What are the consequences of extirpations (or expansions) on communities? I employ a variety of tools at macroecological scales and finer resolutions that integrate biogeography\, community and trophic ecology\, parasitology\, and animal behaviour to answer these questions. In my seminar\, I will discuss a diverse portfolio of research projects that include: island foxes and black-footed ferrets in North America\, lemurs in Madagascar\, and small mammals in Ghana. My program will continue to advance our understanding of species interactions and their shifting dynamics under future global change scenarios. Ultimately\, discerning the plasticity of ecological associations is necessary to inform the vulnerability of species to external threats\, and identify integral processes that promote biodiversity and community viability.

SUMMARY:Other:Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION: Michael Graves began his career in the 1960s as a creator of private houses in the abstract and austere style of orthodox Modernism\, his compositions influenced by the work of Le Corbusier. In the late 1970s\, however\, Graves began to reject the bare and unadorned Modernist idiom as too cool and abstract\, and he began seeking a richer architectural vocabulary that would be more accessible to the public. He soon drew remarkable attention with his designs for several large public buildings in the early 1980s. The Portland Public Service Building (usually called the Portland Building) in Portland\, Ore. (1980)\, and the Humana Building in Louisville\, Ky. (1982)\, were notable for their hulking masses and for Graves’s highly personal\, Cubist interpretations of such classical elements as colonnades and loggias. Though somewhat awkward\, these and other of Graves’s later buildings were acclaimed for their powerful and energetic presence.\n\nBy the mid-1980s Graves had emerged as arguably the most original and popular figure working in the postmodernist idiom. He executed architectural and design commissions for clients around the world. In the early 1980s he created a playful and iconic teakettle (as well as a number of additional products) for the Alessi design firm\, and he later created a line of household items\, including kitchenware and furniture\, for the discount retailer Target.\n\nAmong his later large-scale projects were the restoration of the Washington Monument (2000) and the expansion of the Detroit Institute of Arts (completed 2007). In 2001 Graves was awarded the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal (AIA) for lifetime achievement.

DESCRIPTION:We've heard the incredible ukulele feats of James Hill at The Ark and at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival. With the release of \"Man With a Love Song\,\" James\, recognized as one of the world’s foremost ukulele players\, stands poised and ready to take his place in the ranks of today's best young songwriters. Here\, seemingly in a single blast\, James's songwriting has grown to rival his awe-inspiring prowess as a musician. From the soulful big-band jazz of “What Would You Have Me Do?” through the barrelhouse-bluegrass of “Hand Over My Heart” and impeccable barbershop of “Lying In Wait” to the spoken-word-and-junkyard-percussion of “Soap and Water\,” James's new music fills you up and keeps you coming back for more. It's been some years since we last heard this amazing virtuoso at The Ark–come on by and renew old acquaintances!\n

SUMMARY:Performance:S is for Screendance (and Shakespeare\, Strauss\, Stravinsky...)
DESCRIPTION:New and Recent Screendances by Peter Sparling  Special guests: RusCa Piano Duo: Ilya Blinov and Christian Matijas-Mecca- Pianos\, Ralph Williams\, and Vince Castagnacci    Thurnau Professor of Dance Peter Sparling presents four new and recent screendances\, works featuring his own dance performance for the camera and edited specifically for the screen. Joining him on screen and for live performance are Ralph Williams\, UM Prof. of English\, Christian Matijas-Mecca\, UM Prof. of Dance and pianist Ilya Blinov\, Susquehanna University.  Inspired by the poetry of T. S. Eliot and Shakespeare and the music of Richard Strauss\, Benjamin Britten and Igor Stravinsky\, the works represent a culmination of Sparling’s 40-year career as dancer/choreographer and more recent transition from stage to screen.     He Was Locked in a Race Against Time takes a radical departure from the over 200 dance productions created to Stravinsky’s monumental 1913 score\, Le Sacre de Printemps. Sparling’s screendance features Stravinsky’s original arrangement for piano four-hands\, performed by Christian Matijas-Mecca and Ilya Blinov. Their performance provides an intimate scale\, a striking counterpoint to the rhythms of the movement and editing\, and a nod to the tradition of keyboard music accompaniment for silent film. Sparling’s work tracks a man’s turbulent\, soulful journey across four lives\, and through four distinct landscapes that are both inner and outer. Day Tripper finds him rising fitfully from his rocking chair to stumble through his suburban neighborhood as if negotiating a confused daydream. In Uncommon Night\, he dances spellbound under a full moon. Priest’s Dance reveals a turbulent soul just beneath a monk’s somber composure. Bedlam\, shot in the empty\, decrepit Traverse City State Mental Hospital\, evokes the final undoing of a lost man.     Last Man at Willow Run is an elegiac tone poem for the post-industrial age\, shot in the Willow Run Bomber Plant in Ypsilanti\, Michigan just months before its demolition. A lone figure (Sparling) maps the cavernous spaces of the abandoned plant with his dancing body. The camera charts his progress down mile-long corridors\, as he wrestles with forgotten spirits and is cloned into assembly lines of workers past. Set to Richard Strauss\&##39\;s dramatic orchestral score\, Death and Transfiguration\, the work has a tragic\, ironic edge while serving as an epic-scale memorial.    In The Death of St. Narcissus\, Sparling splits his screen persona between that of narrator and Narcissus in this danced dramatization of T.S. Eliot’s vivid\, homoerotic mash-up of a St. Sebastian-like martyr and the doomed figure from Greek mythology. Shot against greenscreen\, the work features paintings of Elyse Radenovic as sets and backdrops and the voice of tenor Nicholas Phan performing Benjamin Britten’s haunting setting of the Eliot poem.     Ralph Williams\, beloved UM professor and renowned scholar\, is the inspiration for Sparling’s Six Sonnets. Sparling dances solos\, duets and trios to readings by Williams of Shakespeare sonnets\, set against the evocative drawings and paintings of UM Thurnau Prof. Emeritus of Art & Design\, Vince Castagnacci.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
DESCRIPTION:The American studio glass movement started in 1962 with glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Snap Line on Detroit: Ink on Rag Paper
DESCRIPTION:Margi Weir began making drawings of ink and ink wash about 10 years ago using a technique that she calls snap line. A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Textures & Patterns: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The compositions in Mary Ellen Taylor's abstract ceramic pieces touch on chaos but maintain clarity through positive and negative spaces\, continuous and broken lines\, and repeating colors. Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scales of Contact:
DESCRIPTION:Scales of Contact: Architecture & Global Infrastructures\, an exhibition of architecture research by Taubman College graduate students\, opens to the public at the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History this Monday\, December 16. \n\nTen students collaboratively designed and fabricated a modified cabinet-of-curiosities to contain select images\, drawings\, and models from the fall semester’s Vast Machines architecture studio taught by Assistant Professor Meredith Miller. Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Other Camera: An Exhibit Curated by Paul Weinberg
DESCRIPTION:The Other Camera explores the world from the standpoint of participatory\, and community photographers. It poses important questions - how do photographers from communities in Africa and specifically South Africa photograph their own people\, environment\, cultures and events? More importantly\, it asks how vernacular photography developed and how it has reframed itself in relation to modernity\, transformation and globalization.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Back Home in Earth’s Garden: Clay & Fibers
DESCRIPTION:Susan Sutherland Barnes has been exploring patterns in nature and the combining of clay and fibers for over thirty years. Her early background\, in painting and printmaking and later a BFA in fibers from St. Mary's College in Notre Dame\, Indiana\, has fostered a unique perspective on working with clay. In this recent body of work\, she continues to follow her interest in the leaf as an iconic motif and incorporates these explorations in a new group of pieces combining round reed basketry and stoneware. Sutherland Barnes recently returned to her home state of Michigan after twenty years away and now maintains a clay and fibers studio in Paw Paw\, Michigan.

DESCRIPTION:Mary Rousseaux's works appear to be flowing liquid that melds on the surface. The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux.  She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Snap Line on Detroit: Ink on Rag Paper
DESCRIPTION:Margi Weir began making drawings of ink and ink wash about 10 years ago using a technique that she calls snap line. A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Textures & Patterns: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The compositions in Mary Ellen Taylor's abstract ceramic pieces touch on chaos but maintain clarity through positive and negative spaces\, continuous and broken lines\, and repeating colors. Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scales of Contact:
DESCRIPTION:Scales of Contact: Architecture & Global Infrastructures\, an exhibition of architecture research by Taubman College graduate students\, opens to the public at the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History this Monday\, December 16. \n\nTen students collaboratively designed and fabricated a modified cabinet-of-curiosities to contain select images\, drawings\, and models from the fall semester’s Vast Machines architecture studio taught by Assistant Professor Meredith Miller. Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n

SUMMARY:Performance:Simon & Garfunkel Retrospective by AJ Swearingen & J Beedle
DESCRIPTION:AJ Swearingen and Jonathan Beedle have been performing their tribute to the music of Simon & Garfunkel for more than a decade\, and by now a lot of their shows are sellouts. They met by chance in 1991 at a club in Bethlehem\, Pennsylvania\, and after a brief introduction they were harmonizing vocally as if they had always been performing together. AJ’s warm baritone and Jonathan’s soaring tenor combine to capture the essence and magic of the Simon & Garfunkel sound in the early years in Greenwich Village. With a quiet stage and an acoustic guitar\, AJ and Jonathan will bring back plenty of memories\, not only of the classic hits but also of the more obscure songs of Simon & Garfunkel. Relive the magic!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Fusion & Separation: Mixed Media on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Mary Rousseaux's works appear to be flowing liquid that melds on the surface. The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux.  She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Snap Line on Detroit: Ink on Rag Paper
DESCRIPTION:Margi Weir began making drawings of ink and ink wash about 10 years ago using a technique that she calls snap line. A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Textures & Patterns: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The compositions in Mary Ellen Taylor's abstract ceramic pieces touch on chaos but maintain clarity through positive and negative spaces\, continuous and broken lines\, and repeating colors. Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scales of Contact:
DESCRIPTION:Scales of Contact: Architecture & Global Infrastructures\, an exhibition of architecture research by Taubman College graduate students\, opens to the public at the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History this Monday\, December 16. \n\nTen students collaboratively designed and fabricated a modified cabinet-of-curiosities to contain select images\, drawings\, and models from the fall semester’s Vast Machines architecture studio taught by Assistant Professor Meredith Miller. Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n

DESCRIPTION:\"If you've ever been nagged by the feeling that all Cajun and zydeco music was starting to sound a bit too much like the same old thing\,\" writes the UK's Songlines\, \"The Revelers will toss that notion back on your ears.\" This Louisiana band has been called an Eastern U.S. counterpart to Los Lobos\, and they punch up Cajun and swamp rock classics with a dose of contemporary rock and R&B. The Revelers are a quintet of veteran musicians (accordion guitar\, saxophone\, drums\, and bass) from Cajun country and beyond who combine crack musicianship with sheer infectious joy in playing together. And if you're wondering how you're going to get through another month and a half of winter\, well\, we've got a jolt of warmth for you\, straight from Louisiana. This band contains several former members of The Red Stick Ramblers\, who did some legendary Michigan shows back in the day.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:4\,000 Years for Choice
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition combines two projects by graphic designer Heather Ault. \"4\,000 Years for Choice\" is an exhibition of posters about the age-old practice of abortion and contraception as a means to reclaim reproductive freedom as a deeply personal and life-sustaining act existing throughout all of human history. The \"Reproductive Roots\" series shines a bright light on the many voices from the abortion care and reproductive justice movements\, using vividly designed social media graphics and notecards to inspire conversations from a breadth of perspectives. \n\nHeather Ault is a visual artist\, pro-choice activist\, and independent scholar creating artwork to shift conversations about reproductive rights and justice. She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department. It is cosponsored by the Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. \n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Fusion & Separation: Mixed Media on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Mary Rousseaux's works appear to be flowing liquid that melds on the surface. The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux.  She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
DESCRIPTION:The American studio glass movement started in 1962 with glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Snap Line on Detroit: Ink on Rag Paper
DESCRIPTION:Margi Weir began making drawings of ink and ink wash about 10 years ago using a technique that she calls snap line. A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Textures & Patterns: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The compositions in Mary Ellen Taylor's abstract ceramic pieces touch on chaos but maintain clarity through positive and negative spaces\, continuous and broken lines\, and repeating colors. Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scales of Contact:
DESCRIPTION:Scales of Contact: Architecture & Global Infrastructures\, an exhibition of architecture research by Taubman College graduate students\, opens to the public at the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History this Monday\, December 16. \n\nTen students collaboratively designed and fabricated a modified cabinet-of-curiosities to contain select images\, drawings\, and models from the fall semester’s Vast Machines architecture studio taught by Assistant Professor Meredith Miller. Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:4\,000 Years for Choice
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition combines two projects by graphic designer Heather Ault. \"4\,000 Years for Choice\" is an exhibition of posters about the age-old practice of abortion and contraception as a means to reclaim reproductive freedom as a deeply personal and life-sustaining act existing throughout all of human history. The \"Reproductive Roots\" series shines a bright light on the many voices from the abortion care and reproductive justice movements\, using vividly designed social media graphics and notecards to inspire conversations from a breadth of perspectives. \n\nHeather Ault is a visual artist\, pro-choice activist\, and independent scholar creating artwork to shift conversations about reproductive rights and justice. She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department. It is cosponsored by the Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. \n\n

She finds her garden the perfect place to experience the natural world on a daily basis and believes that a connection with this world is critically important in our urban lives. She creates a surreal visual world based upon an exploration of light\, color\, texture and scale. These superbly sharp and sensuously soft images challenge us to reimagine our natural world.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Fusion & Separation: Mixed Media on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Mary Rousseaux's works appear to be flowing liquid that melds on the surface. The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux.  She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
DESCRIPTION:The American studio glass movement started in 1962 with glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Snap Line on Detroit: Ink on Rag Paper
DESCRIPTION:Margi Weir began making drawings of ink and ink wash about 10 years ago using a technique that she calls snap line. A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Textures & Patterns: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The compositions in Mary Ellen Taylor's abstract ceramic pieces touch on chaos but maintain clarity through positive and negative spaces\, continuous and broken lines\, and repeating colors. Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scales of Contact:
DESCRIPTION:Scales of Contact: Architecture & Global Infrastructures\, an exhibition of architecture research by Taubman College graduate students\, opens to the public at the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History this Monday\, December 16. \n\nTen students collaboratively designed and fabricated a modified cabinet-of-curiosities to contain select images\, drawings\, and models from the fall semester’s Vast Machines architecture studio taught by Assistant Professor Meredith Miller. Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:4\,000 Years for Choice
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition combines two projects by graphic designer Heather Ault. \"4\,000 Years for Choice\" is an exhibition of posters about the age-old practice of abortion and contraception as a means to reclaim reproductive freedom as a deeply personal and life-sustaining act existing throughout all of human history. The \"Reproductive Roots\" series shines a bright light on the many voices from the abortion care and reproductive justice movements\, using vividly designed social media graphics and notecards to inspire conversations from a breadth of perspectives. \n\nHeather Ault is a visual artist\, pro-choice activist\, and independent scholar creating artwork to shift conversations about reproductive rights and justice. She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department. It is cosponsored by the Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. \n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Fusion & Separation: Mixed Media on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Mary Rousseaux's works appear to be flowing liquid that melds on the surface. The painting materials both fuse and separate\, settling into forms that depict unions. Often deep within the dense surfaces are linear elements\, which add a graceful and lyrical quality. \"I am influenced by nature and the elemental battle fought for balance in the environment”¦ Things that once held a simple position become more complex in the erosion\,\" says Rousseaux.  She maintains a large loft studio in an industrial building in Detroit\, and her work is included in many private and corporate collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Paperweights & Studio Glass
DESCRIPTION:The American studio glass movement started in 1962 with glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Snap Line on Detroit: Ink on Rag Paper
DESCRIPTION:Margi Weir began making drawings of ink and ink wash about 10 years ago using a technique that she calls snap line. A snap line is the mark made by dipping cotton twine into liquid ink or diluted ink\, pulling it tight and snapping it against the paper in an action similar to plucking a guitar string. Some of the drawings in this exhibition explore the technique itself\, and some describe the terrain in New Mexico where she lived before she moved to Detroit in 2009 to join Wayne State University faculty. In the most recent drawings\, Weir studies the skeletons of buildings in Detroit and explores her fascination with empty spaces – the terrain vagues – left by the destruction and reclamation of Detroit's neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Textures & Patterns: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The compositions in Mary Ellen Taylor's abstract ceramic pieces touch on chaos but maintain clarity through positive and negative spaces\, continuous and broken lines\, and repeating colors. Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds\, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats\, stamps\, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered. She uses opaque and thinned applications of color for the glaze firing. Taylor\, who is a retired art educator based in Toledo\, Ohio\, earned a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Toledo and a MFA from Bowling Green State University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scales of Contact:
DESCRIPTION:Scales of Contact: Architecture & Global Infrastructures\, an exhibition of architecture research by Taubman College graduate students\, opens to the public at the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History this Monday\, December 16. \n\nTen students collaboratively designed and fabricated a modified cabinet-of-curiosities to contain select images\, drawings\, and models from the fall semester’s Vast Machines architecture studio taught by Assistant Professor Meredith Miller. Centered in the museum’s rotunda\, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes\, offering glimpses of the students’ globally-oriented design and research projects\, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an “earth observatory” at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments\, material conditions\, and visual cultures that system intersects.\n\nStudio Brief:\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards\, A Vast Machine: Computer Models\, Climate Data\, and the Politics of Global Warming\, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring\, scholarship and policy\, instruments and standards\, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements\, account for variations in instruments\, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\n\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization\; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the “whole earth” came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness\, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political\, theological\, and existential ideas associated with them.\n\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent\, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence\, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today’s “Whole Earth.” Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition\, Scales of Contact\, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Lynne Haney\, professor of sociology\, New York University\n\nThis talk will examine the politics of punishment in contemporary Central Europe through a case study of the social construction of Roma crime. It explores how penal politics in the post-socialist period has devolved into a form of penal nationalism\, premised on the national criminalization of the other. The political use of Romani crime is a uniting force among these countries. The Roma are presumed to commit most crime\; they are thought to reject common national  values and norms\; and they are said to be most transgressive. They remain the cultural icon of criminality\, worthy of their own term in Hungarian\, “gypsycriminality” in one word (ciganybunözés). Like other nationalist gestures\, the concept of “gypsycriminality” gains power from its mythical nature\; this power is made even stronger by restrictions on collecting empirical data on the race/ethnicity of criminal defendants and offenders. In this way\, the paper outlines how penal nationalism evokes an extreme politics of exclusion–a politics that treats perceived differences through confinement\, while insisting on a  hierarchical version of social and cultural inclusion. The political uses of Roma crime thus become a way to explore the form and focus\, as well as the preoccupations and anxieties\, of penal nationalism in Central Europe.\n\nLynne Haney\, professor of sociology at New York University\, has conducted research on the welfare and penal systems in both the U.S. and Eastern Europe. Her most recent book\, Offending Women: Power\, Punishment\, and the Regulation of Desire (California 2010)\, is a historical ethnography of two California prisons for mothers. She is also the author of Inventing the Needy: Gender and the Politics of Welfare in Hungary (California 2002) and the co-author of The  Sociology Project (Pearson 2011) and Global Ethnography: Forces\, Connections\, and Imaginations in a Postmodern World (California 2000). She is the co-editor of Families of a New World: Gender\, Politics\, and State Development in a Global Context (Routlege 2003). She is currently completing a book on the politics of punishment in post-socialist Eastern Europe and has begun new research that examines the penal state’s construction of fatherhood through a comparative and historical study of the penalization of child support.\n\nSponsors: CREES\, WCED\n\nPart of the series Pluralism in Politics and Culture\, a new initiative jointly sponsored by CREES and WCED that examines the foundations of free and open societies. The project builds on the university’s rich legacy of study and support of the dissident culture in the former Soviet Union and on several existing efforts at U-M. The series focuses on multiple facets of political pluralism\, including its legal\, cultural\, and economic dimensions\, and explore them in a broader historical context.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CBSSM Seminar: Aisha Langford\, PhD\, MPH (Jan. 29)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our next CBSSM 2013-2014 seminar:\n\n\"RETHINKING MINORITY PARTICIPATION IN CLINICAL TRIALS:   \nMORE THAN MISTRUST\"\n\nAisha Langford\, PhD\, MPH\, Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, VA & CBSSM\n\nSummary: The underrepresentation of minorities has received considerable attention since the 1990s when NIH required that all sponsored research include adequate representation of women and minorities. Without the full participation of minority groups in medical research\, it is difficult to assess the effectiveness of therapies across populations and to evaluate disparities in non-medical factors that may impact how patients develop and manage health conditions. In this talk\, I will share results from my dissertation research.  In study 1\, I examined the willingness of African Americans to participate in a future clinical trial. In study 2\, I examined racial/ethnic differences in clinical trial enrollment\, refusal\, ineligibility\, and desire to participate in medical research among cancer patients in the National Cancer Institute’s Community Cancer Centers Program.  In study 3\, I examined enrollment into the U-M Clinical Studies Registry among African Americans. \n\nMy overaching hypothesis is that medical mistrust and knowledge of the US Public Health Service Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male are not the underlying drivers of low minority participation in clinical trials. Instead\, I suggest that African Americans are willing to participate and will enroll in clinical trials at rates equivalent to other racial and ethnic groups when explicitly invited and given the opportunity.  \n
