The \"forgotten space\" of Sekula and Burch's essay film is the sea\, the oceans through which 90% of the world's cargo now passes.

This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art.

Born in the tiny town of Centralia\, Washington–about midway between Portland and Seattle–Gundersen has honed his craft through a series of albums\, both solo (with his sister Abby\, an expert string player) and with their band The Courage. He’s already placed songs on TV shows like \"Sons of Anarchy\" \"Vampire Diaries\,\" and \"One Tree Hill.\" (“Middle of June” from his 2009 EP Saints and Liars). His full-length solo debut\, \"Ledges\,\" represents the latest stop in a journey that began in his strictly conservative\, religious home growing up\, where he was strictly forbidden to listen to secular music. Instead he grew up listening to Bob Dylan’s gospel albums\, along with Christian artists such as Keith Green\, Larry Norman\, and Rich Mullins. “I’m not a religious person anymore\, but I’ve learned that spiritual energy transcends religion and that’s something I’ve attempted to incorporate into my music\,” Noah explains. An impressive personal work\, Ledges co-mingles the sensual and the sexual with the spiritual\, often using religious and biblical imagery\, much like Leonard Cohen\, to plumb the depths of everyday emotions and feelings. Songwriter and \"anti-star\"(Mojo) Doug Paisley is tonight's special guest.

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.

Pielke describes his new concept of \"the iron law of climate policy.\" It dictates that when climate policy and economics are placed in opposition to each other\, economics always wins. His focus on adaptation to climate change sidesteps the unending debate over climate change and opens the possibility of effective action that places \"human dignity and democratic ideals at the center of climate policies.\" Sydney Kaufman\, who has previously led study groups on climate change at OLLI\, will lead the first discussion. Volunteers will lead discussions of the remaining chapters.

In spite of the efforts of authoritarian governments and the region’s status on the periphery of the Islamic world\, advances in communications technology and large-scale migration are allowing Central Asians to increasingly participate in trans-national Islamic discourses through digital media. Religious quarrels between Saudi Salafi scholars and competing styles of Islamically-inspired women’s fashion from Turkey or Egypt can now inform debates about how to be a good Muslim among young Uzbeks and Kazakhs who have no personal connection to the Middle East. A new generation of Islamic scholars educated and living abroad increase the representation of trans-national Islam\, often translating texts and popular religious media and sharing them through social media and sites supported by foreign religious foundations dedicated to popularizing piety and often “purifying” Central Asian beliefs and practices. This workshop will examine the medium and the messages in this expanding marketplace\, draw comparisons both within the region (with scholars working in Uzbek\, Kazakh\, and Tajik) and with other contexts where this process is already well underway\, and lay the foundations for a larger research project to explore the issues in detail and try to assess their social impact. \n\n2:00-4:15 Presentations followed by Q&A\n\n4:15-4:30 Coffee Break \n\n4:30-5:30 Round table discussion \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by CMENAS.

In Korea\, colonized by Japanese in 1910\, the situation was somewhat different. Not unlike the European colonies in Asia\, the administration of the colonial Korea was predicated on the ethno-racial hierarchy in the relationship between “natives” and Japanese settlers. However\, in the perspective the Koreans were supposed to be assimilated into the ranks of full-blown “Imperial subjects”\, and intermarriage\, seen as a strong assimilation tool\, was seen by the colonial administrators in a positive light. The renewed emphasis was placed on the Korean-Japanese marriages in the end of the 1930s\, as Korea’s resources were to be fully used in the all-out war-time mobilization. By the end of 1941\, 5\,747 registered mixed couples resided in Korea only\; significant number of such marriages\, not reflected in the colonial statistics\, also took place in Japan proper.\n\nThe present talk will focus on how such marriages were perceived by the Japanese settler society and the colonized. On the Japanese administration’s side\, the expectation was that “blood ties” between the two ethnic groups would bring a “union of emotions” between them dispelling the anti-colonial nationalist sentiments of the colonized and curbing down the anti-Korean colonial racism of the Japanese settlers. The literary works by the Korean authors dealing with the issues of mixed Korean-Japanese marriage and mixed offspring\, which I will analyze in this presentation\, show\, however\, that the reality was completely different. Ethnic discrimination often overlapped with the patterns of class-based exclusion and was complexly entangled with the patriarchal customs and legal practices. We will also see that it was sometimes the anti-systemic\, “subversive” ideology and practice\, rather than “blood ties” per se that could bring the Japanese and Koreans together\, to experience solidarity in the ways the colonial administrators disapproved of.\n\nVladimir Tikhonov\n\nBorn in Leningrad (St-Petersburg) in the former USSR (1973) and educated at St-Petersburg State University (MA:1994) and Moscow State University (Ph.D. in ancient Korean history\, 1996). Vladimir Tikhonov (Korean name – Pak Noja) has worked for Russian State University of Humanities (1996)\, KyungHee University (1997-2000) and for Oslo University as associate professor (2000-2006) and as a full professor (from 2006). His main field is the history of ideas in early modern Korea\, particularly Social Darwinist influences in the formative period of Korean nationalism in the 1880s-1910s. Another major area of Tikhonov’s research is the history of Korean Buddhism in modern times\, particularly in connection with nationalism and militarist violence. His book\, Usung yolp’ae ui sinhwa (The Myth of the Survival of the Fittest\, 2005) is one of the first monographic studies of Social Darwinism in modern Korea and its relations to Korean nationalism. The same topic has been dealt with in English in his Social Darwinism and Nationalism in Korea: The Beginnings (1880s-1910s) (Brill\, 2010). Recently\, he edited\, together with Torkel Brekke\, a book on the connections between Buddhism and militarism in Asia: Buddhism and Violence: Militarism and Buddhism in Modern Asia (Routledge\, 2012). He also regularly contributes to South Korea’s liberal and progressive media\, including socialist website www.redian.org UID:15636-1195359@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15636 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:japan,korea LOCATION:School of Social Work Building - Room 1636 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140307T103012 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140331T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140331T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Networked Diplomacy: Exercising Influence in a Modern World DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public.\nReception to follow.\n\nFollow the conversation on Twitter: #policytalks\n\nThis event will be live webstreamed.

Wege Lecture on Sustainability DESCRIPTION:Biomimicry is the practice of learning from and then emulating life’s best ideas to create a more sustainable world. By mimicking nature's time-tested strategies\, biomimics are learning to capture fog like a desert beetle\, preserve vaccines like a resurrection fern\, resist bacteria like a shark\, and gather energy like a leaf. Based on 3.8 billion of years of R&D\, these designs sip energy\, shave material use\, eliminate toxins\, and turn waste into opportunities. \n\nOnce a specialty science\, Biomimicry has spread virally in the last 15 years. Hundreds of Biomimicry start-ups are making headlines with nature-inspired technologies that solve global challenges and disrupt business as usual. Leading companies such as Natura\, Arup\, Airbus\, Boeing\, HOK\, IDEO\, Interface\, Levi’s\, and Nike use biomimicry in their labs as well as their boardrooms\, finding inspiration for product and management redesign. \n\nSince the publication of her seminal book\, Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature\, Janine Benyus and her colleagues at Biomimicry 3.8 have developed a methodology for bio-inspired design while introducing millions to its potential. They’ve worked with over 250 corporate clients and professors from more than 100 universities to embed biomimicry in both design and decisionmaking. They’ve been “biologists at the design table” with some of the world’s greatest innovators\, reimagining everything from solar manufacture to city planning. In this talk\, Janine will give an insider’s view of the latest biomimicry advances on the drawing board and in the market. She’ll discuss the worldwide spread of the meme\, and how it is being heralded as a “one of the top 20 breakthrough business ideas” (Harvard Business Review\, HBR List)\, “a paradigm shift for the world of design” (Smithsonian National Design Awards)\, and “one of 10 innovations that will change the way you manufacture” (Society of Manufacturing Engineers). At this critical tipping-point for the field\, she’ll describe what’s needed to take biomimicry global while cultivating ethical thought leadership that will focus Biomimicry on what’s worth doing. Come learn what all the excitement is about from the founder of this practical\, radical\, and powerfully hopeful approach to innovation. Hear what happens when inventors become nature’s apprentices\, creating world-changing technologies that create conditions conducive to all Life.

American cultural anthropologist Erica Lehrer and Polish cultural historian Magdalena Waligórska explore a phenomenon that has attracted a great deal of attention and provoked many controversies: Jewish heritage revival in Poland. Described as the world’s largest Jewish cemetery and the realm of “virtual Jewishness\,” Poland is a space where the non-Jewish interest in things Jewish has been looked upon with particular scepticism. Lehrer\, with Jewish Poland Revisited\, and Waligórska\, with Klezmer’s Afterlife\, venture into this territory\, both fascinating and fraught with tension\, giving a fresh glimpse into the backstage of the Jewish heritage industry.\n\nIn this joint book presentation\, the authors will read excerpts of their books and discuss Jewish heritage revival as a space of profound encounter for Jews and non-Jews.

This lecture explores the significance of this work for interpreting Jewish visual culture during Roman antiquity\, through the focal lens of the Arch of Titus Digital Restoration Project. In July 2012\, this project discovered that the Arch of Titus menorah was originally colored with yellow ochre paint. The article begins by presenting the general field of polychromy research\, which has developed in recent years and resulted in significant museum exhibitions in Europe and the US. It then turns to resistance to polychromy studies among art historians\, often called\n“chromophobia\,” and to uniquely Jewish early twentieth century variants that claimed that Jews were especially prone to colorblindness. After surveying earlier research on polychromy in Jewish contexts\, we turn to polychromy in ancient Palestinian synagogue literature and art. Finally\, the article explores the significance of polychromy for the study of the Arch of Titus menorah panel\, and more broadly considers the importance of polychromy studies for contextualizing Jewish attitudes toward Roman religious art (avodah zarah).\n UID:15533-1194990@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15533 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:jewish studies LOCATION:202 S.

Carmen was born in Lisbon\, Portugal\, into a Cape Verdean family and grew up speaking Portuguese and Cape Verdean Creole. As a teen she sang in a Portuguese gospel choir until she was discovered by bassist and producer Theo Pas'cal\, who introduced her to jazz\, fusion\, and other contemporary sounds. Carmen wanted to create a new sound\, in her ancestors' Creole dialect\, that would mix traditional African and Cape Verde rhythms like Batuke\, Morna\, Cola djon\, and others\, with her jazz and contemporary influences\, in a totally intimate and acoustic vibe\, different from the traditional festive environment of Cape Verdean sounds.

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.

In fact\, the first use of the concept in a penal sense came three decades before\, in the Allies’ May 24\, 1915 Note to the Ottoman government regarding the Armenian genocide. This presentation will examine three stages of the emergence of this concept: first\, the 19th-century precedents of the concept of “crimes against humanity”\; second\, the negotiations and drafting of the Allies’ 1915 note and debates around the use of the term “crimes against humanity” (a note initiated and drafted by the Russian government\, which also introduced this key term to the note)\; and\, finally\, the fate of the concept in the interwar years\, leading up to the Nuremberg Trials in 1945-46. In particular\, the presentation will trace the remarkable and overlooked role of imperial Russia in the development and usage of this concept.\n\nPeter Holquist received his Ph.D. with distinction from Columbia University in 1995. Prior to joining Penn’s History Department as associate professor in Fall 2006\, he taught for nine years at Cornell University. Holquist’s teaching and research focus on the history of Russia and modern Europe. He is the author of Making War\, Forging Revolution: Russia’s Continuum of Crisis\, 1914-1921 (Harvard\, 2002). He is also founder and editor of the journal Kritika: Explorations in Russian and Eurasian History and serves as editor for the Kritika Historical Studies. He has published articles on Russia”˜s experience in the First World War and Russian Revolution\, questions of continuity and change from the imperial period into the Stalin era\, and other topics. Holquist’s current project\, \"By Right of War\,\" explores the emergence of the international law of war in the late 19th and early 20th century. The project asks by what means\, and to what degree\, can one bring people’s conduct\, even in extremis\, into line with normative and ethical prescriptions.\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: CREES\, ASP\, CES UID:15892-1196477@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15892 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:armenia,ottoman empire,turkey,world war i LOCATION:School of Social Work Building - 1636 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140225T200343 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140402T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140402T153000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:A Short History of Nearly Everything DESCRIPTION:Class meets Wednesdays\, April 2 - May 21\n\nThis popular class will be held again to describe how science informs us about our world.

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.

Debates around Fictional Child Characters in Japanese Popular Culture DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nDespite a tradition of inflammatory remarks in the Anglophone press concerning the unregulated nature of sexual and violent content in Japanese animation\, comics and gaming\, these products are in fact under intense scrutiny in Japan. Until recently most public debate has been over the sexual and violent content of boys’ manga and anime but in recent years girls’ manga\, too\, have come under increasing scrutiny. This paper looks at two recent developments in Japan: the 2008 furore over the large number of “Boys Love” titles available for loan in a library district in Osaka\, and the 2010 debate in Tokyo over the “Non-Existent Youth” Bill. It is argued that until recently debate about manga content in Japan was largely about protecting children and young people from supposedly harmful adult themes. However\, due to growing international pressures\, the debate has now shifted to the supposedly harmful depictions of children and young people in manga and anime themselves. Given that BL is a genre that specialises in the sexualisation of its youthful characters\, this paper argues that it is likely to come under increasing attack from conservative lobbyists in Japan and overseas as this material is liable to be classified as a “child abuse publication.” What does this classification mean for fans of the genre in Japan and overseas and how might fans and scholars engage the authorities in debate over the meaning of these cultural products?\n\nSpeaker Bio\n\nMark McLelland is Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies and an Australian Research Council Future Fellow at the University of Wollongong. Mark is author or editor of eight books focussing on issues to do with the history of sexuality\, popular culture and new media in Japan\, most recently\, Love\, Sex and Democracy in Japan during the American Occupation (2012). His Future Fellowship looks at debates around the influence Japanese popular culture is having on youth cultures globally.

The degree to which the changes provoked by computers leave prevailing inequalities is troubling.”\n–– Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society (1990)\n\nIssues of authority\, authoritative\, and authoritarian\, issues of access\, meditation\, and remediation\, and issues of visibility and exclusion will be central to my presentation and exchange with the audience. At a time when feminist\, critical race\, sexuality\, and class critical inquiries have had such a profound effect (and for decades) in the humanities\, the configurations of mainstream\, NEH-funded digital humanities are often similar to the politics of exclusion and occlusion we have worked so long to transform so that one emerging feminist scholar imagines that queer worlds must be built in the “digital margins”? What are the consequences of such frozen social orders when they are made to seem objective features of intellectual life? Of course merely noting the pervasive problem is not enough\, and in this presentation I will pursue some answers for transforming the digital humanities so that innovations are sociological and not only technical. I will ground my critical observations and innovative suggestions by looking at several digital Dickinsons\, including the Harvard Emily Dickinson Online (EDA)\, for which I serve on the Advisory Board. Currently the EDA\, which takes as its foundational texts Harvard’s own variorum of Dickinson poems\, features no editorial innovation and little innovation as a digital archive. These examples will be used to recommend ways in which methods generated by feminist criticism and theory\, critical race studies\, sexuality studies and queer theory\, and class studies can advance and otherwise improve the work of digital humanities\, scholarly editing\, computer science\, information studies\, library science\, and humanities computing.

Rather it is about the creation of a monetary regime–a regime impelled by a series of communicative experiments that predate the crisis and that have continued to be refined and modified in the teeth of unfolding turmoil. Indeed\, this compendium of experiments–in which we are all participants\, knowingly or not–has been instrumental in the management of some of the most vexing circumstances that arose in the wake of the failure of financial markets after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008.\n\nAt the heart of this regime is a far-reaching premise: the public broadly must be recruited to collaborate with central banks in achieving the ends of monetary policy\, namely\, “stable prices and confidence in the currency.” Persuasive analytical stories crafted by the personnel of central banks serve as the experimental instruments for shaping public sentiments and expectations and\, thus\, economic behavior prospectively. Research sustains and enlivens this evolving communicative relationship\, research that continually gleans the descriptive\, explanatory\, and interpretive labor of economic actors\, incorporating their intelligence for the purposes of formulating policy. The challenge for central bankers\, many of whom had a hand in designing this regime\, is to navigate and manage the shifting grounds upon which members of the public become protagonists in the monetary drama and their predicaments the imperatives of and for policy. The paper draws directly on ethnographic research at The European Central Bank\, the Bundesbank\, the Swedish Central Bank\, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand\, and the Bank of England.\n\nDouglas R. Holmes teaches anthropology at Binghamton University. His new book\, Economy of Words: Communicative Imperatives in Central Banks (Chicago 2014)\, examines an emerging monetary regime–a public currency–in which words and explanation play a decisive role. The book is based on research over the last decade at the European Central Bank\, the Deutsch Bundesbank\, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand\, the Swedish Riksbank\, and the Bank of England. He is currently working on a new project that examines what is at stake in the regulation and management of monetary affairs.\n\nSponsors: Center for European Studies\, Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies UID:15893-1196478@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15893 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:europe LOCATION:School of Social Work Building - 1636 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140312T131205 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140403T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140403T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series DESCRIPTION: UID:16885-1199573@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16885 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:ecology,evolutionary biology LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140320T141409 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140403T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140403T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Getting Credit DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Finn Brunton (NYU - Department of Media\, Culture\, and Communication).\n\nThis wide-ranging talk uses the current state of cryptocurrencies (most notably Bitcoin) and their underlying technologies to consider contemporary digital culture and its future.

Dealing with difficult people in your life can be extremely stressful. Unfortunately\, few people ever learn the high-level skills needed to manage difficult relationships. This series will help you do just that.\n\nSelf-Esteem and Relationships. Few things in your life can have a greater positive impact than learning to feel good about you. How we feel about ourselves can impact our relationships with friends\, family\, and significant others. In this workshop you will explore some of the earlier-life experiences that may have formed your current \"core beliefs\" about yourself. We will talk about how these beliefs influence your life\, relationships\, and behaviors currently. Lastly\, you will learn strategies for weakening some of the negative self-beliefs that hold you back in your life.\n\n\n\nEach Thursday from 4:15-5:30 p.m. you and other interested students will meet with a counselor and focus on one of the most frequent concerns of U-M students. These are the very issues that U-M students have told us are the most common issues they deal with every day. The counselor will share some helpful information\, talk about strategies and clinical resources\, and she or he will also make time for you to share a little bit about your concerns (if you wish to do so). \n UID:12291-1198164@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12291 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:friendship,health and wellness,mental health,relationships,self esteem LOCATION:Michigan Union - CAPS Annex CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140403T000008 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140403T163000 SUMMARY:Performance:Jessye Norman Masterclass Series: Axel Bauni DESCRIPTION:Pianist Axel Bauni will present a Master Class focusing on the Art of German Romantic Lieder and the 2nd Viennese School.

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.

If earlier scholars of Armenian studies have often treated the Armenian diaspora as a collection of independent\, self-sufficient communities\, limiting their studies to mostly descriptive observations\, a new generation of scholars has focused on the diversity\, flexibility\, and context-dependence of diasporic communities\, individual lives and identities\, as well as on investigating the changing roles and impacts of homelands and homeland-diaspora relations on the ways in which diasporas function.\n\nThe 1915 genocide of the Armenian subjects of the Ottoman Empire resulted in an outflow of refugees and survivors\; this\, combined with the independence acquired on a small piece of the Armenian homeland in 1918\, the Sovietization of Armenia in 1920\, and the founding of the Republic of Turkey in 1923\, created the conditions in which modern and contemporary Armenian diasporas have functioned\, embedded in a new era in the history of Armenians. The nature of Armenian diasporic communities\, the agendas of diasporic institutions\, varying perceptions of the Armenian homeland and the republics of Armenia\, intracommunal identities\, conflicts and cooperation\, and other elements of Armenian diasporic life took shape after the post-Lausanne disappointment\, under the influence of changing conditions in host countries and a complex international political context. Conceptions of what diasporas and diasporic identities are\, and how they should function\, developed heterogeneously in specific diasporic communities\, in the homeland\, and\, more recently\, in diaspora studies. This workshop will be dedicated to exploring the competing and sometimes conflicting conceptions of how the Armenian diaspora\, with its various communities and identities\, has functioned and is functioning in the challenging transnational environment of modernity and globalization as well as in relation to the transformations of the homeland.\n\nThis workshop on Armenia and Diaspora 1918-2013 is sponsored by the University of Michigan’s Armenian Studies Program and is organized by Vahe Sahakyan\, a graduate student in that Program with faculty advisors\, Professors Kevork Bardakjian (University of Michigan) and Khachig Tölölyan (Wesleyan University)\, and seeks to bring together younger scholars (graduate students engaged in research or those who defended their dissertations in the last three years) who work on diasporas within a variety of disciplines.

If he was lucky\, he could serve the ruler himself\, become his confidant\, and perhaps even usurp imperial power. Focusing on Wei Zhongxian (1568-1627) and others from the Ming and Qing\, this talk will address key questions that lurk in the portrayal of eunuch: How and why did a man become a eunuch?

If earlier scholars of Armenian studies have often treated the Armenian diaspora as a collection of independent\, self-sufficient communities\, limiting their studies to mostly descriptive observations\, a new generation of scholars has focused on the diversity\, flexibility\, and context-dependence of diasporic communities\, individual lives and identities\, as well as on investigating the changing roles and impacts of homelands and homeland-diaspora relations on the ways in which diasporas function.\n\nThe 1915 genocide of the Armenian subjects of the Ottoman Empire resulted in an outflow of refugees and survivors\; this\, combined with the independence acquired on a small piece of the Armenian homeland in 1918\, the Sovietization of Armenia in 1920\, and the founding of the Republic of Turkey in 1923\, created the conditions in which modern and contemporary Armenian diasporas have functioned\, embedded in a new era in the history of Armenians. The nature of Armenian diasporic communities\, the agendas of diasporic institutions\, varying perceptions of the Armenian homeland and the republics of Armenia\, intracommunal identities\, conflicts and cooperation\, and other elements of Armenian diasporic life took shape after the post-Lausanne disappointment\, under the influence of changing conditions in host countries and a complex international political context. Conceptions of what diasporas and diasporic identities are\, and how they should function\, developed heterogeneously in specific diasporic communities\, in the homeland\, and\, more recently\, in diaspora studies. This workshop will be dedicated to exploring the competing and sometimes conflicting conceptions of how the Armenian diaspora\, with its various communities and identities\, has functioned and is functioning in the challenging transnational environment of modernity and globalization as well as in relation to the transformations of the homeland.\n\nThis workshop on Armenia and Diaspora 1918-2013 is sponsored by the University of Michigan’s Armenian Studies Program and is organized by Vahe Sahakyan\, a graduate student in that Program with faculty advisors\, Professors Kevork Bardakjian (University of Michigan) and Khachig Tölölyan (Wesleyan University)\, and seeks to bring together younger scholars (graduate students engaged in research or those who defended their dissertations in the last three years) who work on diasporas within a variety of disciplines.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThree Michigan Architects: Part 2–Metcalf is the second in a series of three consecutive exhibitions\, with subsequent presentation of domestic work by George Brigham (July 19–October 12\, 2014). Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1199982@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140405T000007 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140405T140000 SUMMARY:Performance:Dissertation Pedagogy Workshop: Christine Choi DESCRIPTION:AMERICAN PIANO METHOD BOOKS AND THEIR USE IN SOUTH KOREA UID:17122-1200405@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/17122 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music LOCATION:Earl V.

This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its fifth year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts.

The two began writing and singing together in Nashville and found that their similar influences of folk\, soul\, and rock blended together seductively\; they married in 2009\, and they've added a bit of Cuban spice and sultry French-movie atmosphere to their music since then. The name Johnnyswim comes from an episode involving Sudano's goldfish when she was little. The Nashville Tennessean describes Johnnyswim as \"a mix of Lauryn Hill and John Mayer\,\" and the duo\, stylish and romantic in music and attitude\, lives up to that billing. Johnnyswim has released three EPs and appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno\, A Prairie Home Companion\, NPR's Mountain Stage\, and lots of lists of rising stars. Their breakout set at the 2014 Ann Arbor Folk Festival introduced a lot of Midwesterners to this California sensation!
