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: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:Poverty in Southeast Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Panelists: Sandra Danziger (Social Work\, Public Policy)\, Kristin Seefeldt (Social Work)\, and Sarah Burgard (Sociology).\n\nWhile the Great Recession officially ended in June 2009\, the recovery that followed has been slow and high unemployment rates and high levels of hardship persist. The Detroit Metropolitan Area was much harder hit by the Great Recession than many other areas of the nation. We present information from the first two waves of the Michigan Recession and Recovery Survey\, a stratified random sample of households in Wayne\, Oakland and Macomb counties. We highlight findings on employment\, income\, safety net program participation\, material hardships\, and health and mental health\, particularly among low income households.

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?

I will show how I have adjusted my approach to teaching and how it has improved my students' performance significantly.\n\nThis event is open to all faculty\, graduate students\, and postdocs. Please register in advance at http://www.crlt.umich.edu/node/58500.\n\nEric Mazur is the Balkanski Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Harvard University.

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.

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.

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!

SUMMARY:Performance:Graham Colton
DESCRIPTION:Nearly five years since his break with major label Universal Music -- a relationship that spanned four years\, two albums and saw Colton perform on The Tonight Show\, The Late Show\, debut videos on TRL and more – Colton’s new album Lonely Ones marks a huge leap forward\, seeing him move away from his singer-songwriter past and into an entirely different direction. After reconnecting with himself as an artist outside the world of major label influence\, Colton began collaborating with good friend and fellow Oklahoma City musician Wayne Coyne and The Flaming Lips. Coyne inspired him to experiment and change the way he looked at the songwriting process. \n\n“Wayne loaned me some keyboards and told me to push buttons and songs would appear\,” said Colton. “And they did! It's amazing what happened when I put the guitar down.” \n\nColton holed up at Blackwatch Studios in Norman\, OK with producers/ bandmates Chad Copelin & Jarod Evans for 18 months to write and record the album. They enlisted Steven Drozd (Flaming Lips) to aide in the early recordings and offer new textures and sounds that Colton wouldn't otherwise use. The result is ten tracks of lush indie/psych pop gems\, each with its own interesting twist. Playful touches like handclaps and la-la-las accent ear-wormy melodies. As the follow-up to 2010’s Pacific Coast Eyes and 2008’s Twenty Something EP\, Lonely Ones shows not just growth but almost complete reinvention – an exciting move for an artist who has already seen his share of commercial success.

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: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:Other:Paying for the Party: How College Maintains Inequality
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Elizabeth A. Armstrong (Sociology\, Women's Studies\, Organizational Studies)\n\nDiscussants: \nMichael Bastedo (Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education)\,\nElizabeth Cole (Women’s Studies\, Psychology\, Afroamerican and African Studies)\,\nPhilip DeLoria (LSA Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education\, History & American Culture)\n\nSociologists Elizabeth Armstrong and Laura Hamilton spent five years tracking a cohort of college women at a large Midwestern public university from freshman year though graduation and into the labor force. Their findings reveal how outcomes can differ so dramatically for those whom universities enroll.\n\nIn an era of skyrocketing tuition and mounting concern over whether college is “worth it\,” \"Paying for the Party\" is an indispensable contribution to the dialogue assessing the state of American higher education. A powerful exposé of unmet obligations and misplaced priorities\, it explains in vivid detail why so many leave college with so little to show for it.\n\nGender: New Works\, New Questions draws attention to new works that engage gender and sexuality\, and are produced by U-M faculty members.

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:CCS Noon Lecture Series: \"From Ruletakers to Rulemakers: Chinese and Global Governance\"
DESCRIPTION:\"Chinese government agencies\, companies\, and NGO's are become much more significant players in every area of global governance\, from trade remedies to the setting of technical standards to rules governing transnational investment. This presentation will explain how effectively Chinese are learning\, utilizing and shaping the rules of the game in these and other areas. Chinese effectiveness varies widely across regime areas\, and different kinds of Chinese companies have become more adept than others in their involvement. At the same time\, China's political system presents substantial obstacles to all Chinese being more effective and the country as a whole playing more of a leadership role globally.\n\nScott Kennedy (Ph.D.\, George Washington University\, 2002) is Director of the Research Center for Chinese Politics & Business (RCCPB)\, Associate Professor in the Departments of Political Science and East Asian Languages & Cultures\, and Adjunct Professor in the Kelley School of Business's Department of Business Economics and Public Policy at Indiana University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Ambiguity of Virtue: Gertrude van Tijn and the Fate of the Dutch Jews during the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:The Ambiguity of Virtue: Gertrude van Tijn and the Fate of the Dutch Jews challenges the simplistic\, ahistorical interpretation of the role of the Nazi-appointed Jewish councils in Nazi-occupied Europe that was offered by Hannah Arendt in her Eichmann in Jerusalem. The Ambiguity of Virtue tells the story of Gertrude van Tijn’s work on behalf of her fellow Jews as the avenues that might save them were closed off.  Between 1933 and 1940 Van Tijn helped organize Jewish emigration from Germany. After the Germans occupied Holland\, she worked for the Jewish Council in Amsterdam and enabled many Jews to escape. Some later called her a heroine\; others denounced her as a collaborator. Was she merely a pawn of the Nazis\, or should she be commended for taking advantage of such opportunities as offered themselves to save Jews from the gas chambers? In such impossible circumstances\, what is just action\, and what is complicity?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Pavel Ivlev\, chairman\, Committee for Russian Economic Freedom\n\nIn this lecture\, Pavel Ivlev will draw on his experience as Russian legal counsel to Yukos Oil and its management to analyze the case at its deepest level. Ivlev argues that the Khodorkovsky/Yukos affair reveals the flawed Russian prosecution and judiciary system that can prioritize politics over due process\, and that Putin’s regime works against free markets\, sound corporate governance\, transparency\, and the rule of law. He will draw lessons from the case that he feels anyone interested in dealing with Russia and its people should learn. \n\nPavel Ivlev\, former lawyer for Yukos and Mikhail Khodorkovsky\, fled to New York from Russia under fear of unjust prosecution. A district court in Moscow issued an arrest warrant for Ivlev in 2005 on charges of embezzlement and money laundering\, identical to those of Khodorkovsky and Lebedev. Ivlev believed that the arrest warrant was a result of his refusal to provide false incriminating evidence against Khodorkovsky and other key Yukos managers. Ivlev has vowed not to return to Russia. A graduate of Moscow State University Law School in 1993\, Ivlev also studied law at Columbia University (New York) and Queen Mary College (London)\, and is a member of the International Bar Association and the U.S.-Russia Business Council. In 1997 Ivlev became a partner at a leading Moscow-based international law firm\, ALM Feldmans\, which was effectively destroyed by the broader attack on Yukos and its advisors. Ivlev is Chairman of the Committee for Russian Economic Freedom\, which he founded in 2009 to campaign for “free markets\, free people\, and free ideas in Russia.”\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.\n\nSponsors: WCED\, CREES

SUMMARY:Other:CCS Film Event: Piercing I
DESCRIPTION:PIERCING I\n\nDir. LIU Jian\, 2010\nChina\, 75 min.\nChinese with English subtitles\n\nQ&A with film director Liu Jian will take place immediately after the screening.\n\nPIERCING I marks the first independently produced\, feature-length animation film to come out of China. In the heart of a Chinese factory town filled with darkness and corruption\, two young\, unemployed men struggle to make better lives for themselves and are willing to risk everything. Through an absurd chain of events that brings together an unlikely cast of characters–the wealthiest businessman in town and his competitor\, along with a corrupt\, thuggish Police Bureau and two irreverent young anti-heroes–the film presents the social realities of urban China in a strikingly raw\, sardonic vision. The film was hand-drawn\, frame-by-frame\, over a three-year period by filmmaker Liu Jian. With a deft style that reveals humor and poignancy in the context of everyday life in contemporary China\, Liu Jian’s PIERCING I is lucid\, compelling\, and provocatively original.\n\nLiu Jian studied Chinese landscape painting and graduated from the Nanjing University of the Arts in 1993. Over the past two decades\, his work has drawn on a range of media and aesthetic approaches and has been presented at major exhibitions both in China and abroad. In 1995\, he began making works of animation\, and in 2007 he independently established the Le-joy Animation Studio. His first feature-length animation work\, PIERCING I (2010)\, has received numerous prestigious awards at film festivals across Asia and Europe.\n\nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Performance:Habib Koite
DESCRIPTION:Malian guitarist Habib Koité is one of Africa’s most popular and recognized musicians. He comes from a noble line of Khassonké griots\, traditional troubadors who provide wit\, wisdom and musical entertainment at social gatherings and special events\, but \"nobody really taught me to sing or to play the guitar\,\" he explains. \"I watched my parents\, and it washed off on me.\" Habib takes some unique approaches to playing the guitar. Sometimes he plays music that sounds close to the blues or flamenco\, two styles he studied under Khalilou Traoré\, a veteran of the legendary Afro-Cuban band Maravillas du Mali. Habib's latest release\, \"Afriki\,\" finds him exploring new musical directions. The album's overarching theme is the strengths and challenges of the African continent. “People here in Africa are willing to risk death trying to leave for Europe or the USA\, but they are not willing to take that risk staying to develop something here in Africa\,” says Habib. “Life can be really good or really bad wherever you live. People need to understand that. Even though Mali is poor\, we still have good quality of life: You can walk outside and smile and someone will smile back. I have thought about it a lot\, and I am not sure if poor countries have a worse quality of life.”

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:ASP Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Ayse Parla\, associate professor of anthropology\, Sabanci University\n\nA recent revision to the regulation on education seemingly grants Armenian migrant children access to education in Turkey regardless of their legal status. However\, rather than constituting an actual right\, the revision in question limits access to “guest status\,” and thus adds yet another state of exception to the migration regime in Turkey that primarily operates through amnesties rather than rights for undocumented migrants. Although Turkey has ratified the UN Declaration on the Rights of Children\, which ensures access to elementary education for children regardless of legal status\, the very recent 2013 law on the Protection of Foreigners does not address the question of the education rights of undocumented children.  Given this general legal impasse\, which concerns all undocumented children in Turkey\, Parla’s research is particularly concerned with the additional states of exception that pertain to the specificity of being an Armenian undocumented migrant. Besides the problem of “guest status\,” what other reasons underlie many of the Armenian migrants’ reluctance to send their children to the Armenian minority schools in Istanbul? Why do they opt for the informal school in Kumkapi instead? What is the role of language\, social class\, and the legacy of the Soviet experience in shaping their decisions? While attending to the distinctive educational predicament of the Armenian migrant children vis-à-vis Istanbul Armenians\, Parla also examines the overarching structural violence that affects both groups with regard to “minority education” in a national culture marked by the denial of the genocide as well as the systematic injustices that have since continued.\n\nAyse Parla received her B.A. from Harvard in 1995 and her Ph.D. in anthropology from New York University in 2005. Since then she has been teaching at Sabanci University\, where she is associate professor of Anthropology. She has completed a three year TUBITAK project on the legalization strategies of Turkish migrants from Bulgaria. As a 2011 recipient of the Turkish Academy of Sciences Exceptional Young Scholar Award (TÃœBA-GEBÄ°P)\, her current research project involves a critical examination of the “Europeanization” of the field of migration in Turkey through a  focus on  undocumented migrants’ children’s access to education.   She has published her research on questions of migration\, citizenship\, labor\, and ethnicity in various journals including Alternatives: Global\, Local\, Political\; American Ethnologist\; Citizenship Studies\; Cultural Anthropology\; Differences\; and International Migration.

SUMMARY:Performance:Fair Lane Music Guild - CutTime Simfonica

SUMMARY:Performance:Tom Rush
DESCRIPTION:Tom Rush may not be as well known as some fellow veterans of Club 47 in 1960s Cambridge\, Massachusetts–people like Joan Baez\, Bob Dylan\, and Judy Collins. Yet he's second to none in terms of his impact down through the years. Rush's three albums for Elektra in the 1960s were key founding documents of the entire singer-songwriter concept\, and he's influenced everyone from James Taylor to Garth Brooks. A performer with an abiding love of being in front of an audience\, Rush is a rib-tickling storyteller\, an expressive singer\, and a guitarist capable of real melancholy. He's an Ark favorite\, and\, says the Chicago Tribune\, he's \"probably the only man alive who should be allowed to sing Joni Mitchell songs.\" Tom Rush is\, in short\, folk royalty. Tom recently released \"What I Know\,\" his first studio album in 30 years\, and the Montreal Gazette opined that he \"still has that deep\, relaxed voice that gives listeners the impression they're old friends listening in on a musical conversation.\" Come by and pick up a copy of Tom's new live CD/DVD\, recorded at Boston's Symphony Hall.\n
