SUMMARY:Exhibition:In the Garden Grows a Lump: Rare Books on the Picturesque
DESCRIPTION:\"In the Garden Grows a Lump\" is an exhibition and drawing colloquium organized around rare illustrated manuscripts on picturesque gardens. The basis of the project is a large collection of 18th and 19th century books on the picturesque held in the University of Michigan Library special collections\, which are rarely available for public view and have not had a prominent place in teaching or scholarship in the Department of Architecture. The exhibition will include 15-20 manuscripts\, a series of printed\, enlarged reproductions of drawings in the manuscripts to show detail and technique\, and a series of large-format drawings that interpret and analyze the historical source material. It will be accompanied by a colloquium with visiting scholars. Assistant Professor Andrew Holder organized the exhibition and designed the installation.\n\nSponsored by The Guido A. Binda Lecture and Exhibition Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Plainly Spoken
DESCRIPTION:View a range of binding ideas that came to fruition: models that replicate books from a historical period\, cut-aways that visually reveal their hidden structure\, design bindings that interpret a concept from the text\, and artists’ bindings that play with structures and materials to create something new.\n\nIn this traveling exhibit the Midwest Chapter of the Guild of Book Workers showcases archivist and book conservator Julia Miller’s text Books Will Speak Plain. Incorporating 30 years of her notes and observations\, the 500-page handbook is aimed at conservators\, collectors\, librarians\, and book lovers\, for the identification and description of book structures and styles. Bookbinders from across the country acquired the text of the book in folded sheets and\, months later\, presented them to a jury as completed books with custom bindings.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Doris Duke's Shangri La: Architecture\, Landscape\, and Islamic Art
DESCRIPTION:Adventurous\, intelligent and independent\, Doris Duke traveled the world and acquired countless treasures including a remarkable collection of Islamic art.  Doris Duke’s Shangri-La is the first exhibition to present her five-acre Honolulu estate and its collections to audiences throughout the continental United States. Ceramics\, textiles\, paintings\, tile panels\, and full-scale architectural elements are juxtaposed with historic photographs and drawings. Also\, new works by six contemporary artists–including Walid Raad\, Shahzia Sikander\, and Afruz Amighi–demonstrate the diverse and dynamic nature of current art production and reflect the mix of cultures at Shangri La. This wealth of Islamic art provides a great opportunity for patrons to become familiar with this rich cultural tradition. Ashley Dimmig\, UM PhD student in History of Art\, will introduce the exhibition and various highpoints of this eclectic and legendary collection. More broadly\, we will think about what it is that makes art “Islamic” and perhaps dispel some of the misconceptions we have about the style and content of what we call “Islamic art.” Join us in conversation in the gallery.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kelly Joe Phelps
DESCRIPTION:With a background in jazz and experimental music\, Kelly Joe Phelps emerged in the late 1990s as an unknown master of 6- and 12-string acoustic guitars. His original songs were intricate portraits and tales rooted in the blues. And his voice was a one-of-a-kind thing\, soulful yet smooth. Since then he's put together a powerful body of original songwriting work. If you're new to Kelly Joe Phelps\, check out the amazing ten-minute version of Skip James's \"Hard Time Killin' Floor Blues\" on his \"Tap the Red Cane Whirlwind\" live album and then come on down to The Ark to experience one of the great roots musicians of our time. He can play straight blues\, classic folk\, and one-of-a-kind originals with equal\, slightly mystic grace. Recently back on the road after recovering from a hand malady\, Kelly Joe Phelps has increasingly drawn on the gospel side of the blues with his recent music.

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 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:Lecture / Discussion:Copernicus Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Karen Underhill\, Assistant Professor of Polish Literature and Culture\, University of Illinois at Chicago\n\nThe work of Galician Polish-Jewish modernist prose writer and graphic artist Bruno Schulz (1892-1942) evinces a post-Imperial nostalgia and uneasy suspicion of national literatures that resonates with the present-day scholarly interest in post-national and transnational approaches to the study of culture. This talk will consider Schulz’s aesthetics of hybridity and evasion\, exploring his work as an example of “writing in the Third Language.” A discussion of the early development of Bruno Schulz’s artistic career in the multilingual cultural context of Interwar Lwów/Lemberg offers an opportunity to consider the transformation of the field of Polish literary and cultural studies currently underway – characterized by a shifting focus from Polish culture as a nationally and philologically-based subfield within Slavic Studies\, to its reframing as a dynamic\, multilingual space of encounter\, in which Galician-Jewish literature and culture play a key role.\n\nKaren Underhill is assistant professor of Polish literature and Polish-Jewish studies in the Department of Slavic and Baltic Languages and Literatures at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She completed her doctoral dissertation\, entitled “Bruno Schulz and Jewish Modernity” at the University of Chicago in June 2011. She is founder of Massolit Books & Cafe in Kraków\, and is a member of the Board of Directors of the Chicago YIVO Society. Her recent publications include “Next Year in Drohobych: On the Uses of Jewish Absence” (East European Politics and Societies and Cultures\, 2011)\; “Writing in the Third Language: Between Sacred and Profane in Gershom Scholem and Jacques Derrida\,” in The Effect of Palimpsest\, edited by Bozena Shallcross and Ryszard Nycz (2010)\; and “Ecstasy and Heresy: Martin Buber\, Bruno Schulz and Jewish Modernity\,” in (Un)masking Bruno Schulz (2009).\n\nSponsors: Copernicus Program in Polish Studies\, Frankel Center for Judaic Studies

SUMMARY:Performance:Defibulators
DESCRIPTION:Described alternately as “Hee-Haw on mescaline” and “CBGB-meets-Grand Ole Opry\,” The Defibulators are a New York City country band. First-and-foremost a live band\, they've quickly earned a devoted following in a city not known for its love of country music. No Depression cited their new album\, \"Debt'll Get 'Em\,\" as “a blistering\, let’s-get-down-to-the-truth\, eclectic mix of musical styles that push and stretch the boundaries of country music by blending genre-bending guitars\, fiddles\, and banjo with the often haunting vocals of Erin Bru and the won’t-let-you-stop-thinking lyrics of Bug Jennings\,\" who only discovered classic country music after moving from Texas to New York. \"I'm sure if I stayed in Texas\, I would not be in a country band right now. There's something about the fast-paced\, frantic\, neurotic energy of New York that forged our style\,\" he says. Come hear the music Earfarm.com calls \"sinister\, squawking urban honky-tonk and rockabilly served hot and dirty.\"\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 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:Lecture / Discussion:Connecting Thought and Action across Borders: The Challenge of Contemporary Slavery
DESCRIPTION:Can one use the word \"slavery\" to describe modern forms of labor exploitation when nations no longer recognize a right of property in persons? Rebecca Scott begins her lecture by examining the 1814 enslavement in New Orleans of a child refugee named Sanitte\, and tracing the mechanisms by which a freeborn girl came to be held as a slave. Nearly 200 years later\, in 1994\, an adolescent from Togo\, Henriette Akofa\, who had been held as an unpaid domestic servant in a household in Paris\, brought suit in the European Court of Human Rights which then deliberated on whether to use the term \"slavery\"  to describe her situation.  Juxtaposing these two experiences and looking at the contemporaneous legal debate unfolding in Brazil Scott suggests ways in which cross-national discussions can yield legal definitions and strategies for addressing the phenomenon of coerced labor.

SUMMARY:Performance:Carlos Nunez
DESCRIPTION:Carlos Núñez comes from Galicia\, in northern Spain\, and he's the undisputed master of Galicia’s signature musical instrument\, the gaita\, or Galician bagpipes. “What the flamenco guitar is to the south\, the gaita is to the north\,” he explains. “The pipes have been here for over a thousand years. Everyone knows Scottish bagpipes and Irish uillean pipes\, but now they are supposed to be the descendants of the Galician pipes.” The gaita is arguably musically more flexible than its Irish and Scottish relations\, and in the hands of Carlos–who also plays pennywhistle\, ocarina\, Jew’s harp\, tin whistle and flute–an exciting and funky 21st century instrument. “People say I play the pipes like the electric guitar!” he says. Carlos is well known in Irish music circles thanks to his early adoption by The Chieftains (he's been dubbed “The Seventh Chieftain”)\, and he played on many of the Irish group’s CDs including \"Treasure Island\,\" \"The Long Black Veil\,\" the Grammy-winning \"Santiago\" (inspired by Galician music)\, the Irish-Mexican project \"San Patricio\,\" and the Chieftains' latest release\, \"Voice of Ages.\"

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.

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 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:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Emily Baran\, assistant professor of history\, Middle Tennessee State University\n\nIn this lecture\, Baran will examine the history of the Soviet  Jehovah’s Witnesses. Their story begins in the western borderlands in interwar Eastern Europe. Border shifts as a result of World War II brought these largely Ukrainian and Romanian believers onto Soviet soil. Now Soviet citizens\, they not only survived decades of state persecution\, but maintained their religious beliefs\, communities\, and way of life\, and even found converts. Their journey suggests the need to broaden historical  conceptions of dissent beyond the well-known urban\, intellectual dissidents of the late Soviet era. The Witnesses\, a rural\, religious community\, provide an ideal vehicle to do so because they ran one of the largest and most complex underground organizations in the postwar USSR. Their apocalyptic beliefs\, door-to-door preaching\, and rejection of secular society compelled them not to conform to even the most basic cultural and political norms of Soviet life. This lecture will explore the ways in which religion provided a powerful structure for ordinary\, often rural citizens to form complex alternative  communities that pushed the boundaries of control established by the Soviet state.\n\nEmily B. Baran is assistant professor in the Department of History at Middle Tennessee State University. Her research explores the shifting contours of state control\, human rights\, and religious freedom in the Soviet Union and post-Soviet states. Her first monograph\, Dissent on the Margins: How Soviet Jehovah’s Witnesses Defied Communism and Lived to Preach about It\, will be published by Oxford University Press in April 2014. Her articles have appeared in Cahiers du Monde russe\, Journal of Church and State\, Russian Review\, and Religion\, State and  Society. She is currently working on a second monograph\, tentatively titled\, Communism or Armageddon: Forging an Atheist State in Postwar Ukraine\, which will examine the Soviet Union’s efforts to construct a cohesive sociopolitical order in its newly annexed western borderlands after World War II. It will offer a case study of one 1949 police investigation into a religious community in the village of Bila Tserkva\, Ukraine.\n\nSponsors: CREES\, Eurasia Collective\, 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:Lecture / Discussion:ASP Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Vahé Tachjian\, chief editor\, Houshamadyan Project\n\nWith the end of 1918\, the Armistice\, and the liberation of the Armenian deportees in Bilad al-Sham\, a new chapter began in the history of the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire after the Catastrophe. Two Armenians from Aintab\, Krikor Bogharian and Der Nerses Tavukjian\, were among tens of thousands of exiles who spent more than three years in the Syrian towns of Hama and Salamiya. Both of them kept diaries which report the level of day-to-day existence\, the gradual impoverishment that deprived an exiled family of basic nourishment\, as well as the mutual assistance relatives gave each other\, but also the limits of such assistance. The two diarists recount the deaths of loved ones and the coerced religious conversions or other moral compromises to which people resorted in order to survive. In this talk\, Vahé Tachjian uses these two diaries to narrate the quotidian world of deportees–ordinary lives caught in an extraordinary historical moment. Tachjian will attempt to describe and analyze the initial experiences of the two diarists at the end of the war and their liberation\, as well as the general mood prevailing at that time in the Armenian community. Beyond the ongoing efforts to regroup the Armenian survivors after the Catastrophe and to reconstruct the nation\, there was also a debate among the Armenians concerning the collective responsibility of the Turks or the question of their collective guilt. What was to be remembered and what was to be forgotten? Was it possible to co-exist with the Turks?\n\nBorn in Lebanon\, Vahé Tachjian earned his Ph.D. in History and Civilization at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris. He is now the chief editor of the houshamdyan website (based in Berlin)\, a scientific project that aims to reconstruct the Ottoman Armenians’ local history and the memory of their lives. His publications include: La France en Cilicie et en Haute-Mésopotamie. Aux confins de la Turquie\, de la Syrie et de l’Irak (Paris\, 2004)\; Les Arméniens\, 1917-1939. La quête d’un refuge\, co-editor (Paris\, 2007)\; Les Arméniens de Cilicie: habitat\, mémoire et identité\, co-editor (Beirut\, 2012)\; and Ottoman Armenians: Life\, Culture\, Society\, editor (Vol 1\, Berlin\, 2014).\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: ASP\, CES

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Transformation of America’s Metropolitan Area Economies:  Lessons from Four Decades
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public.\n\nSpeaker:\nGeorge Fulton\, Director\, Research Seminar in Quantitative Economics\, Department of Economics\, Research Professor\, Institute for Research on Labor\, Employment\, and the Economy\, University of Michigan\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nGeorge A. Fulton received his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Michigan.  He is currently the director of the Research Seminar in Quantitative Economics (RSQE) and research professor at the University’s Institute for Research on Labor Employment\, and the Economy\, where he is director of the Center for Labor Market Research.\n\nDr. Fulton has been forecasting economic and fiscal activity in the state of Michigan annually for over three decades.  In addition\, he is co-director of a project to generate long-term economic and demographic projections for all the counties of Michigan.  He is also a principal advisor to the University administration and to the state government on the economic situation in Michigan.\n\nAbout the Presentation:\nWhat factors contribute to the well-being of U.S. metropolitan area economies\, and why have some areas been more successful in re-making their economies than others?  Can lessons learned from these more successful metropolitan areas help guide longer-term economic development policies in Michigan and elsewhere–or not?\n\nAbstract:\nWith a unique approach and expanded data measures\, this study attempts to extend the analysis to date of what leads metro economies in the United States to function the way they do\, what makes some of the economies more successful than others\, and what policy handles\, if any\, can improve their profiles.  The primary tool for analysis is regression\, and two measures\, income and employment\, are used to represent economic success.  Two dimensions of analysis are considered: time and space (geography).  For time\, we investigate the hypothesis that behavioral relationships can vary in a meaningful way depending on the time period selected for analysis\, while other relationships remain robust over time.  For space\, we compare results for metro areas in the “rust belt” region of the country with those for metro areas collectively in the nation.  To address the constraints\, or “tyranny\,” of best practices\, we carry out an analysis of residuals to gain insight into which metro areas least conformed to the fit of the general model\, and why.  The results suggest that findings can be quite sensitive to the time period selected\, but also that there are structural and policy-related drivers that are more robust to different time periods and geographies.  Among the strongest indicators of the well-being of a metro area are the initial conditions in the metro area\, the industry structure\, the innovative environment\, crime\, and educational attainment.  Metro areas that least fit the general model tended to have economies influenced by major unique events not easily measured.\n\nSponsored by: \n\nUniversity of Michigan Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\n\nContact Information:  (734) 647-4091\;  closup@umich.edu\; http://fordschool.umich.edu/events/calendar/closup/1603/\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Robert Ellis
DESCRIPTION:Robert Ellis is a 24-year-old songwriter from Houston who just made the move to Nashville and recorded his third album\, \"The Lights from the Chemical Plant.\" His earlier music was steeped in classic country\, and he's toured with such bands as Old Crow Medicine Show. But now he's breaking out in new directions. \"Obviously\,\" he told Rolling Stone\, classic country is \"a part of who I am. But I want them to hear the other stuff.\" The other stuff includes the line of serious American pop running through Paul Simon and Randy Newman and veers off into R&B\, bossa nova\, and even fusion jazz. All of it's boiled down into concise songs that reflect this youthful road warrior's experiences in concert halls and clubs around the country. The festival buzz around this new artist is strong\, and we're excited to welcome him for his Ark debut as he sets out on a new direction.

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 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:Lecture / Discussion:The Fun and Fear of Encore Careers-How Older Adults Can Help Themselves and the Michigan Economy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Randal Charlton who currently directs Boom!The New Economy\, a collaboration of non-profit organizations that helps the 50+ adult pursue career changes\, entrepreneurship and meaningful volunteer service. After Asterand\, a medical supply company he co-founded in 2000\, went public in 2007\, Charlton became executive director of Wayne State’s Research and Technology Park (TechTown). TechTown has expanded its incubator facility to 250 companies\, trained 2200 entrepreneurs\, and raised $14 million for clients. \n\nRandal Charlton will describe his own experience as a serial entrepreneur in which he enjoyed some success\, followed by a period of financial and personal failure. He arrived at the age of sixty with few resources or confidence\, but rebuilt his career and his life. Mr. Charlton will discuss how his personal experience has informed his belief that with the right support older adults can be an important part of Michigan’s economic future.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:German Jews and Gender Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:\"Modernity and its discontents: Jewishness and gender in Gustav Freytag's Debit and Credit\"\nPresented by: Christine Achinger\n\nGustav Freytag's novel Soll und Haben (Debit and Credit\, 1855) was one of the most widely read German novels of the second half of the 19th century\, its author a leading liberal journalist and writer. More recently\, however\, the book has mostly been discussed as an example of literary antisemitism. I want to investigate this apparent contradiction between liberalism and antisemitism by looking at the ways in which notions of Germanness\, Jewishness and gender interact in the text to undergird a vision of a specifically German way to capitalist modernity\, and the ways in which these concerns are reflected in aesthetic debates surrounding the text.\n\n\"Parenting\, Courtship\, Gender\, and the Making of Individuals and Community\"\nPresented by: Ben Baader\n\nThe diaries and letters by members of the Dann family in mid-19th century Frankfurt offer a glimpse into the lives of the mothers and fathers\, sons and daughters\, sisters and brothers who composed them. In fact\, I propose reading the documents as windows into the process by which these humans constructed reality\, gave meaning to their world\, drew boundaries\, and forged coherence as men or women\, Jews\, and middle-class Germans.  \n\n\"Aspects of Gender and Community in an Early Modern Christian-Jewish Murder Case\"\nPresented by: Verena Kasper-Marienberg\n\nIn August 1781\, Gumpel May\, son of one of the richest Jewish families of Frankfurt/Main\, was brutally murdered in the home of one of his Christian clients. The murderer\, a young local Lutheran beer brewer\, was presumably not only a debtor\, but also a sexual partner of the victim. The interaction between the Christian and Jewish authorities\, as well as the daily encounters between individual Jews and Christians in Frankfurt unfold in the many interrogations following the murder\, and shed a new light on perceptions\, ways of communication\, and interrelations between the two societies.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CBSSM Seminar: \" The Visualizing Health Project: In Pursuit of Intuitively Understandable Health Data Graphics\" with Brian Zikmund-Fisher\, PhD and Angela Fagerlin\, PhD (Feb. 13)
DESCRIPTION:CBSSM seminar “The Visualizing Health Project: In Pursuit of Intuitively Understandable Health Data Graphics\" will be held on Feb. 13th\, from 3-4:30 p.m.in Room 266C\, Building 16\, North Campus Research Complex\, 2800 Plymouth Road. Featuring: Angela Fagerlin\, Ph.D.\, Co-Director\, CBSSM and Associate Professor of Medicine and Brian Zikmund-Fisher\, Ph.D.\, Assistant Professor\, Health Behavior and Health Education.\n\nSummary: We live in an era of health data. Patients often have direct access to test results\, risk estimates\, and other data related to their health. Drugs come with information about potential side effect risks which vary in severity and likelihood. People facing particularly complex medical decisions may receive decision aids. Yet\, the fact that we have those numbers does NOT mean that people can use them. Visual displays are a key approach to overcoming numeracy deficits and enabling people to make sense of the health data they have.\n\n    The Visualizing Health project was a short and highly intense (only 5 months long!) project funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation designed to push the envelope both in considering visual designs for communicating health risk data and in developing iterative research approaches for testing them. The project involved a large team combining researchers and staff from both the University of Michigan's Center for Health Communications Research and the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine. The UM team then worked closely on a week by week basis with Thomas Goetz (former editor of Wired magazine) who envisioned the project\, Tim Leong (graphic designer\, author of Super Graphic)\, and teams of graphic designers that Tim recruited.\n\n    We created 16 distinct visual data display tasks related to health risks\, had teams of graphic designers develop display concepts\, and iteratively tested these displays using multiple online survey methodologies. The resulting designs and data were then assembled in a project website that included all the images\, plus commentary and additional features such as a design \"wizard\" to help guide users to visual displays that best fit their personal needs.\n\n    The CBSSM seminar will provide an overview of the project as well as the visual designs it helped create. We will also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this research approach\, what worked well\, and what was sacrificed in the name of speed and creativity.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Animals use their sensory and motor systems to navigate their environment and to mediate interactions with other animals. Ion channels expressed in excitable membranes are critical for encoding information about and producing responses to environmental stimuli. Given the critical role of ion channels in transmitting neuronal signals and producing muscle contractions\, it is not surprising that some animals have evolved toxins that bind ion channels and disrupt their activity. Toxin producers use their chemical weapons to subdue their prey and to deter predators. Toxins that induce pain\, paralysis\, seizures and death may impose strong selection on the receiver\, potentially driving the evolution of adaptations that mediate interactions between toxin producers and their enemies. \n\nMy goal is to understand how receivers respond to these selection pressures. Specifically\, I want to determine the effects of toxins on the structure and function of ion channels expressed in the nerve and muscle tissue of receivers\, and\, ultimately\, understand how changes in channels feed back on and influence predatory\, foraging and feeding behavior in the receiver. Bark scorpions (Centruroides spp.) produce toxins that selectively bind sodium- (Na+) and potassium- (K+) ion channels expressed in peripheral pain-pathway neurons (nociceptors) and skeletal-muscle fibers. Bark scorpion venom induces intense pain\, uncontrolled muscle contractions and respiratory failure in sensitive mammals. Grasshopper mice (Onychomys spp.)\, predators of bark scorpions\, have evolved resistance to their venom. Physiological assays demonstrated that grasshopper mice’s skeletal muscle is insensitive to bark scorpion toxins. Recordings of Na+ current from channels expressed in grasshopper mice’s nociceptors revealed a novel mechanism where a component of bark scorpion venom is co-opted by these Na+ channels – to block the very pain signals that the toxins are generating. Cloning and sequencing of genes that encode the muscle and nociceptor Na+ channels from grasshopper mice revealed structural modifications in both channel subtypes that are positioned to either inhibit or co-opt toxin activity. Current work is focused on using mutagenesis\, expression and electrophysiology to determine how structural modifications of grasshopper mice Na+ channels produce functional changes in skeletal muscle and nociceptors that explain insensitivity to bark scorpion venom.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Mei-Po Kwan\; The Uncertain Geographic Context Problem: Implications for Social Science and Health Research
DESCRIPTION:Mei Po Kwan\n\nDepartment of Geography and Geographic Information Science\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\n\nLecture Title: The Uncertain Geographic Context Problem: Implications for Social Science and Health Research\n\nThe modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP) is a fundamental issue much of social science and health research has faced. Studies that examine the effects of area-based attributes on individual behaviors or outcomes also face another fundamental methodological problem. This is the problem that findings about the effects of area-based attributes may be affected by how contextual units (e.g.\, neighborhoods) are geographically delineated and the extent to which these areal units deviate from the “true causally relevant” geographic context. I recently articulated this problem as the uncertain geographic context problem (UGCoP)\, which is also a significant methodological problem because it means that analytical results can be different for different delineations of contextual units even if everything else is the same. I have also emphasized that the UGCoP is a problem as fundamental as the MAUP for any study that uses area-based contextual attributes\, but it is a different kind of problem because it is not due to the use of different zonal schemes or spatial scales for area-based variables. In this presentation I discuss the nature and sources of the UGCoP. Using recent studies on neighborhood effects and environmental health as examples\, I explore how geospatial technologies and GIS-based methods can help mitigate the problem in social science and health research.\n\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 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:Lecture / Discussion:Peer Instruction: Confessions of a Converted Lecturer (Eric Mazur\, Harvard University)
DESCRIPTION:I thought I was a good teacher until I discovered my students were just memorizing information rather than learning to understand the material. Who was to blame? The students?

SUMMARY:Other:Special Event 
DESCRIPTION:Join us at UMMA on Valentine's Day for some radical pataphysical explorations designed to put reality slightly out of kilter. Presented by UMMA\, the Avant-Garde Interest Group in the Rackham Graduate School\, and the UM Department of English\, this UMMA Dialogue features experimental poet Christian Bok (University of Calgary)\, art historian David Doris (UM)\, and music performance professor Stephen Rush (UM) in a series of presentations and performances inspired by 'Pataphysics. 'Pataphysics is a philosophical precursor of Dada and Surrealism that reveals and dissolves the conceptual categories that constitute our understanding of reality by playfully placing everyday objects that we take for granted into odd\, strange\, and funny contexts. Highlights include a presentation by Professor Bok on his xenotext project\, a collaboration with microbiologists to design a cell that can store and write a poem\, and an experimental performance art introduction to pataphysical concepts by Stephen Rush and some of his students in SMTD.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Space\, Language\, and Genre: For a Multilingual Literary History of Awadh
DESCRIPTION:While literary histories\, first written in the colonial-nationalist period\, have drawn firm boundaries around languages\, scripts\, and literary tastes\, a multilingual approach to literary history provides a more plausible\, layered\, and nuanced picture of literary culture in the early modern period. A geographical perspective and a sensitivity to linguistic registers and “traces” of other languages within texts\, and to the popularity and circulation of genres and people\, are particularly useful for highlighting interrelationships but also literary forms and sensibilities that single-language archives have obscured. In this talk\, I start applying this multilingual approach to a region\, Awadh (roughly from the 15c to the 18c)\, that was long at the centre of the North Indian Sultanates and later of the Mughal empire\, but also continuously contested between Sufi- and Persian-dominated qasbas and “recalcitrant zamindars” in the countryside. As both got drawn into the networks of Mughal administration\, how did linguistic choices and literary tastes evolve?\n\nThis program is organized by the Center for South Asian Studies with support from the U-M LSA Theme Semester and co-sponsored by the History Department\, the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, and the Department of Comparative Literature.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Plainly Spoken
DESCRIPTION:View a range of binding ideas that came to fruition: models that replicate books from a historical period\, cut-aways that visually reveal their hidden structure\, design bindings that interpret a concept from the text\, and artists’ bindings that play with structures and materials to create something new.\n\nIn this traveling exhibit the Midwest Chapter of the Guild of Book Workers showcases archivist and book conservator Julia Miller’s text Books Will Speak Plain. Incorporating 30 years of her notes and observations\, the 500-page handbook is aimed at conservators\, collectors\, librarians\, and book lovers\, for the identification and description of book structures and styles. Bookbinders from across the country acquired the text of the book in folded sheets and\, months later\, presented them to a jury as completed books with custom bindings.

SUMMARY:Community Service:17th Annual Dance Marathon at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:\"You can't.\" Two words that speak volumes. Two words that children with disabilities and their families hear all too often. Two words that we at Dance Marathon at the University of Michigan (DMUM) won't say. DMUM is a registered non-profit organization operated by U-M students that strives to support non-traditional pediatric rehabilitation programs at C.S. Mott and Beaumont Children's Hospitals. We tell kids they can. They can ride a bike. Play soccer. Learn karate. Climb a tree. Fly a plane. The money we raise funds amazing therapies that empower countless families and creates lasting memories. These programs change children's lives\, and they\, in turn\, change ours. Students involved in DMUM have the opportunity to build direct relationships with our beneficiaries through a year-long series of events. At our namesake event\, the Marathon\, we stand for 30 hours to demonstrate our support\, to make our statement. These kids break barriers\, push limits–so we do too. We don't let our bodies tell us that we can't. Because For the Kids\, we know we can. This year\, we invite you to join us! Drop in to visit a dancer\, or see what we're all about at Closing Ceremonies (1:00-4:00 pm\, Sunday 2/16)! COME STAND WITH US!\n

SUMMARY:Performance:27th Annual Storytelling Festival
DESCRIPTION:Each year The Ark revives the oldest of all the arts with our February Storytelling Festival\, featuring talespinners from far and wide. This year's tellers are Donna Washington\, Tim Tingle\, and Jane Fink. Donna Washington grew up an army brat in Colorado Springs\, Colorado\, where her father would sit at the dinner table and spin the wildest yarns imaginable. She is a multiple-award-winning recording artist and also the author of several books and the compiler of an anthology A Pride of African Tales. Storyteller and author Tim Tingle is an Oklahoma Choctaw whose great-great-grandfather\, John Carnes\, walked the Trail of Tears in 1835. Responding to a scarcity of Choctaw lore\, he began collecting tribal stories in the early 1990s and passing them along. Ann Arbor Storytellers' Guild member Jane Fink is a psychotherapist\, granola maker\, and painter as well as a teller at the 2013 Ann Arbor Tellabration. She has been telling stories to anyone who would listen since she was five years old.\n\nNote special 7:30 p.m. start time!\n\nhttp://www.dlwstoryteller.com/\nhttp://www.timtingle.com/
