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.

Engerman\, professor of history\, Brandeis University\n\nThe Soviet example of central economic planning came up frequently amid discussions over India’s economic future in the last years of colonial India\, and even more so in the first decades of independent India. With the arrival of the first Soviet economic experts in India in the mid-1950s\, the Soviet example became even more important–and also the subject of increasingly intense public and private debate. Using archival and published material from India and Russia\, “Separated by a Common Language” examines the fraught relationship between Soviet and Indian experts–and what the tensions meant for both Soviet and Indian history.\n\nDavid C. Engerman is professor of history at Brandeis University\, where he has taught international history and modern American history since receiving his Ph.D. from the University of California-Berkeley in 1998. His Berkeley dissertation\, revised\, appeared as Modernization from the Other Shore: American Intellectuals and the Romance of Russian Development (Harvard\, 2003)\; it won the Stuart Bernath and Akira Iriye Prizes and was named a Choice Outstanding Academic Title. He has also published Know Your Enemy: The Rise and Fall of America’s Soviet Experts (Oxford\, 2009)\, edited a new edition of The God That Failed (Columbia\, 2003) and co-edited two sets of essays on modernization and development programs. Engerman was named a “Top Young Historian” by the History News Network and was awarded the Bernath Lectureship by the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations\; his Bernath lecture appeared in Diplomatic History as “American Knowledge and Global Power.” Building on his earlier scholarship on American programs of development aid\, his current project is “Planning for Plenty: The Economic Cold War in India” (under contract to Harvard University Press).\n\nPart of the LSA Theme Semester “India in the World.” UID:15884-1196470@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15884 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:economic policy,india,soviet union LOCATION:School of Social Work Building - 1636 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140206T150913 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140312T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140312T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Xiqu Productions in China since 1978 DESCRIPTION:After the Cultural Revolution ended\, Mainland China welcomed\, a new era of Reform and Openness\, generating waves of aesthetic and cultural changes. Since the 1990s\, the Chinese government has introduced many competitions and prizes to promote creative works of literature and performing arts. Reflecting broad social changes and responding to government incentives\, the Mainland Chinese theaters started producing many innovative shows. Some would critically comment on social and political practices of the past\, and some would respond to current and governmental calls for works that highlight main motives (zhu xuanlü) of the time. Since the 2000s\, when UNESCO honored kunqu and Peking opera as intangible cultural heritages\, the Chinese government and theatrical institutions have strived to train young performers and safeguard traditional repertoires. Subsequently\, a number of positive new developments have emerged.\n\nImage: \"Han Xin's Success and Failure\" performed by Shanghai Peking Opera Theatre UID:16409-1199407@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16409 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:chinese theatre,performing arts,xiqu LOCATION:Michigan League - Koessler Room (3rd Floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140312T000011 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140312T121500 SUMMARY:Performance:Brown Bag Recital: Paul Giessner and Stephanie Yu\, organ DESCRIPTION:Thirty minutes of organ solo music performed by local musicians.

While GPA is a traditional benchmark of student success\, there are other outcomes which may be more important for long-term student wellbeing. Research shows that symptoms of depression predict retention and graduation rates\, and mentally healthy students are better learners – so it follows that supporting student mental health benefits the entire campus.\n\nJoin us for the 12th Annual Depression on College Campuses Conference to learn about new research findings and model programs which demonstrate how a focus on improving student mental health can benefit student success in all areas of the college experience – emotionally\, physically\, socially\, and academically – and allow students to achieve their full potential.\n\nThe conference will feature a choice of intensive three-hour workshops in addition to keynote presentations\, panel discussions\, and concurrent sessions. The conference will run from 12:30-6:00 on March 12\, and from 8:30-4:00 on March 13.\n\nQuestions?

In particular\, it will address the meaning of (filmic) images for remembering the genocide and thereby consolidating the Armenian (Western) diaspora. Because there are few graphic images of this violent history and because those that do exist are not circulated in the public visual sphere\, this lecture will look at various filmic strategies that not only compensate this lack of representation\, but also more profoundly interrogate the very status of images for diasporic communities in today’s visual culture. Some contemporary filmmakers and visual artists–such as Atom Egoyan\, Gariné Torossian\, and Mekhitar Garabedian–challenge at once the aesthetic qualities of images and their crucial role in constructing memory. Baronian will reflect upon the “aesthetics of displacement” that characterize their visual enterprise as an obsessive\, repetitive yet lacunary necessity for connecting the past in a tangible here and now.\n\nMarie-Aude Baronian is the 2014 Manoogian Visiting Professor at the University of Michigan and an associate professor in film and visual culture at the University of Amsterdam. Her research focuses on various topics such as Armenian diasporic visual culture\, ethics and aesthetics\, French thought\, archive\, and memory. She has specifically worked on the representation of the Armenian genocide in the works of contemporary visual artists such as Atom Egoyan\, Gariné Torossian and Mekhitar Garabedian. Her most recent books are Mémoire et Image. Regards sur la Catastrophe arménienne (2013) and Cinéma et Mémoire. Sur Atom Egoyan (2013). She currently works on fashion and costume in philosophy and film.\n\nSponsors: ASP\, Department of Screen Arts & Cultures\, Program in International & Comparative Studies UID:15885-1196471@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15885 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:armenia LOCATION:Museum of Art - Helmut Stern Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140312T000011 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140312T190000 SUMMARY:Performance:Master Class: James Houlik\, saxophone DESCRIPTION:James Houlik is the leading performer on his instrument in the world.
