The Jay Ungar & Molly Mason Family Band features Jay\, Molly\, Jay's daughter Ruth Ungar\, and her husband Mike Merenda. And Mike & Ruthy's two children Will\, born January 2008\, and Opal\, born June 2012\, also join them on the road\, though rarely onstage. With exceptional musicianship and a vast knowledge of numerous musical styles\, Jay & Molly are one of the most celebrated duos in American acoustic music. They achieved international acclaim in 1990 when their performance of Jay's composition Ashokan Farewell became the musical hallmark of Ken Burns' \"The Civil War\" on PBS. You may know Mike & Ruthy from The Mammals. Ruthy cut her teeth on traditional music\, and grew up to be a top-flight performer. She brings fiddle\, ukulele\, guitar and deeply moving vocal performances to the Family Band. Mike Merenda favored rock and ska before being drawn into the world of acoustic music and brings those sensibilities to his playing on old-time banjo\, guitar\, percussion and his own compelling vocals. Four terrific musicians. Put them together and the sum really is greater than its parts. Double fiddles\, sweet vocal harmonies and rhythmic energy abound as two generations collaborate to entertain you with music from the heart and soul of America. \n UID:15253-1194154@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15253 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:jay ungar,jay ungar and molly mason family band,molly mason,music,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

With understanding of basic linear regression concepts as a prerequisite\, the instructors will cover a wide range of topics including clustered data\, longitudinal studies\, and clustered longitudinal data. Participants will be introduced to the use of HLM 7.0 software. The workshop will consist of lively lectures and hands-on examples using HLM software.Many studies in social sciences (e.g.\, education\, human development\, public health\, sociology) are multilevel\, longitudinal\, or both. Multilevel data arise when participants are clustered within social settings. The variation and covariation within and between such settings are often of interest substantively and should not be ignored when assessing relationships between explanatory variables and outcomes. In longitudinal research\, we repeatedly observe subjects. These repeated measures for each participant will be correlated and explanatory variables may be time-varying or time-invariant. This workshop will consider the issues of analysis that arise in multilevel and longitudinal research settings.\n\nWe will first consider two-level cross-sectional studies in which persons (level-1) are nested within groups (level-2). The level-1 model specifies a process within each group\, and the level-2 model explains how these processes are different between groups. Next\, we will discuss two-level studies of individual growth and compare the structures of these studies to multilevel studies. We will also consider three-level models. We will focus on the case in which repeated measures (level-1) are nested within persons (level-2) who are themselves nested in organizations (level-3).\n\nAll of these studies will involve nearly continuous outcomes for which the normality distribution is at least plausible. They will also feature purely nested designs (e.g.\, persons nested within organizations). The workshop will provide participants with an overview of other types of applications where hierarchical linear models or generalized hierarchical linear models are appropriate (e.g.\, binary outcomes)\, and briefly discuss how the HLM software could be used to model such data.

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:16957-1199984@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:20140319T111223 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140407T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140407T180000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:19th Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners DESCRIPTION:This annual exhibit\, sponsored by the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP)\, sheds light on the talents found behind prison walls\; with limited resources\, artists create work in a rich range of styles\, mediums\, and themes.\n\nDuderstadt Gallery Hours are:\nSunday-Monday 12 noon to 6 p.m.\nTuesday-Saturday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. UID:16972-1200109@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16972 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art,exhibit,library,pcap,prison LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130130T170154 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140407T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140407T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:International Student Conversation Hour DESCRIPTION:The International Student Conversation Hour will meet from 4:00-5:00 pm on the 1st and 3rd Monday of the month at the International Center (603 E.

The lecture will be followed by a reception and book signing in the UMMA Forum.\n\nAbout the book: In this brilliant\, breathtaking book by Pulitzer Prize-winner Katherine Boo\, a bewildering age of global change and inequality is made human through the dramatic story of families striving toward a better life in Annawadi\, a makeshift settlement in the shadow of luxury hotels near the Mumbai airport. As India starts to prosper\, the residents of Annawadi are electric with hope. Abdul\, an enterprising teenager\, sees “a fortune beyond counting” in the recyclable garbage that richer people throw away. Meanwhile Asha\, a woman of formidable ambition\, has identified a shadier route to the middle class. With a little luck\, her beautiful daughter\, Annawadi’s “most-everything girl\,” might become its first female college graduate. And even the poorest children\, like the young thief Kalu\, feel themselves inching closer to their dreams. But then Abdul is falsely accused in a shocking tragedy\; terror and global recession rock the city\; and suppressed tensions over religion\, caste\, sex\, power\, and economic envy turn brutal. With intelligence\, humor\, and deep insight into what connects people to one another in an era of tumultuous change\, Behind the Beautiful Forevers\, based on years of uncompromising reporting\, carries the reader headlong into one of the twenty-first century’s hidden worlds–and into the hearts of families impossible to forget.\n\nPresented by the Institute for the Humanities and LSA Theme Semester: India in the World with support from the Zell Visiting Writers Series\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, and the Center for South Asian Studies.\n\n UID:17088-1200335@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/17088 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:india in the world,literary,multicultural,social justice LOCATION:Museum of Art - Helmut Stern Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140407T000007 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140407T173000 SUMMARY:Performance:Masters Recital: Jacob Wright\, tenor DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM: Butterworth - A Shropshire Lad\; Vaughan Williams - On Wenlock Edge\; Britten - Canticle II: Abraham and Isaac op. 51.

But what makes reinforced concrete 'modern'? As a medium\, it is as much un-modern as it is modern. Why were architects throughout the twentieth century so determined to promote the modernity of concrete? And what have the consequences of this fixation been - for architecture\, and for concrete?\n\nAdrian Forty is a distinguished scholar of architecture and design at the Bartlett (UCL) in London. His most recent book\, Concrete and Culture\, is a favorite of some of our students. Earlier books have been tremendously influential\, especially Words and Buildings and Objects of Desire. Adrian is also a major figure in the EAHN (European Architectural History Network).\n\nWith Steven Mankouche\, Prof. Ratté and Prof. Terrenato our research grant: \"Architectural Revolutions from the Roman Empire to the Digital Age\" undertakes an interdisciplinary investigation of the relationship between architecture and technology\, focusing on architectural \"revolutions\" sparked by innovations in technology. The project embraces a comparative historical perspective\, taking the \"Roman architectural revolution\" (the development of structural concrete) and modern developments in digital design and digital fabrication as starting points.

But he's an artist of international repute as well\, with a rabid American fan base that fills houses wherever he goes\, and collaborations with country star Kathy Mattea (and even Jennifer Lopez) to his credit. A performer with a gift for making something universal of his own experiences and of the sheer beauty of his native land\, Dougie MacLean has been called \"Scotland's greatest living songwriter\" by Celtic World.

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.

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.

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.

This examination of history has implications for what Europe and other areas should do today\, and for what policies should be used in future crises.\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nChristina Romer is the class of 1957 Garff B.

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.

With understanding of basic linear regression concepts as a prerequisite\, the instructors will cover a wide range of topics including clustered data\, longitudinal studies\, and clustered longitudinal data. Participants will be introduced to the use of HLM 7.0 software. The workshop will consist of lively lectures and hands-on examples using HLM software.Many studies in social sciences (e.g.\, education\, human development\, public health\, sociology) are multilevel\, longitudinal\, or both. Multilevel data arise when participants are clustered within social settings. The variation and covariation within and between such settings are often of interest substantively and should not be ignored when assessing relationships between explanatory variables and outcomes. In longitudinal research\, we repeatedly observe subjects. These repeated measures for each participant will be correlated and explanatory variables may be time-varying or time-invariant. This workshop will consider the issues of analysis that arise in multilevel and longitudinal research settings.\n\nWe will first consider two-level cross-sectional studies in which persons (level-1) are nested within groups (level-2). The level-1 model specifies a process within each group\, and the level-2 model explains how these processes are different between groups. Next\, we will discuss two-level studies of individual growth and compare the structures of these studies to multilevel studies. We will also consider three-level models. We will focus on the case in which repeated measures (level-1) are nested within persons (level-2) who are themselves nested in organizations (level-3).\n\nAll of these studies will involve nearly continuous outcomes for which the normality distribution is at least plausible. They will also feature purely nested designs (e.g.\, persons nested within organizations). The workshop will provide participants with an overview of other types of applications where hierarchical linear models or generalized hierarchical linear models are appropriate (e.g.\, binary outcomes)\, and briefly discuss how the HLM software could be used to model such data.

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.

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:16957-1199986@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:20140317T123740 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140409T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140409T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Engaging Aliens: Ming “Inward Imperialism” and the Construction of the “Great Wall on the Chu Borderland” DESCRIPTION:During the last century of China’s Ming Dynasty (1368-1644)\, the government of Huguang Province constructed a “border wall” in the “Miao territory” (aka the “Great Wall on the Chu Borderland” in the late Ming\, or the “Southern Great Wall” as promoted in China today). While this border wall is smaller in scale and thus less known compared to the Great Wall in the northern frontiers\, it is by no means less significant in illustrating the enduring process of identity building in China during both imperial times and the People’s Republic. Drawing on my field research as well as historical documents\, this talk seeks to explore the cultural meaning of the Great Wall on the Chu Borderland\, examining how the Ming government perceived and constructed the cultural and ethnic identity of their political entity along the Han-Miao borderlands. It will address some critical issues regarding the empire-building in the Ming\, such as What kind of country should be built? Where were its boundaries? What values should be embraced? Who should be included? And what was the nature of the “Miao territory”? It will point out that the Ming quest for their new identity after overthrowing the Mongol regime left remarkable legacy for modern China’s identity search and construction.

But hundreds of thousands of unarmed civilians were also victimized as a result of expulsions\, pogroms\, and other forms of persecution and mass violence. The Balkan Wars of 1912–13 erased the Ottoman Empire from the Balkans and marked a devastating blow to Ottoman political culture. The years 1915–16 saw the destruction of the Anatolian Armenians\, organized by the Young Turk political elite and carried out by a host of forces. Lastly\, the period 1917-23 is of great significance for the history of the Caucasus\, both North and South\, as it witnessed total war and massacres of civilians. Many studies of this kaleidoscope of violence have focused on the domestic roots and impacts of these processes. But might a transnational perspective offer a new understanding of their genesis\, the scope of the events\, and the scale of their implications? This lecture will approach these conflicts by developing a transnational perspective and exploring to what extent they were related to each other.\n\nUgur Ãœmit Ãœngör (1980) gained his Ph.D. in 2009 (cum laude) at the University of Amsterdam. In 2008–09\, he was lecturer in international history at the Department of History of the University of Sheffield\, and in 2009–10\, he was post-doctoral research fellow at the Centre for War Studies of University College Dublin. Currently he is assistant professor at the Department of History at Utrecht University and at the NIOD: Institute for War\, Holocaust\, and Genocide Studies in Amsterdam. His main area of interest is the historical sociology of mass violence\, especially during the fragmentation and collapse of states. His most recent publications include Confiscation and Destruction: The Young Turk Seizure of Armenian Property (Continuum\, 2011) and The Making of Modern Turkey: Nation and State in Eastern Anatolia\, 1913-1950 (Oxford University Press\, 2011).

Yet the most prevalent remaining buildings are much smaller in scale\; they are the houses abandoned by or appropriated from Japanese residents upon the defeat in war and a chaotic withdrawal from the colonies. This talk turns to the “enemy house” to ask how the homely figures in the domestication of colonial history.\n\nJanet Poole is an Associate Professor in the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Toronto\, Canada.

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.

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.

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.

Results indicate that official poverty rates based on single-mother households overstate the economic disadvantage of single mothers by 10-20 per cent by excluding those who are coresiding with parents. We also find that the rise in single parenthood accounts for most of the difference in poverty among mothers between 1986 and 2007 and that shared income is the most important factor in limiting poverty among single mothers living with parents.\n\nBio\n\nJim Raymo is Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he is also director of the Center for Demography and Ecology.

Covalent post-translational modifications modulate the activity of cellular proteins and expand the amino acid code from 20 amino acids to several hundred different building blocks. Each modification uniquely alters protein function\, such as targeting to the lipid membrane (prenylation\, palmitoylation) or regulation of protein structure or function (acetylation\, methylation\, phosphorylation). This vast array of modifications means that understanding the function and regulation of a protein in a cell includes identification of post-translation processing steps. Numerous human diseases have been linked to post-translational modifications\, and inhibitors of enzymes that catalyze these modifications are attractive targets for developing new drugs to treat an array of diseases. \n\nThe Fierke lab investigates the specificity and biological function of two medically important classes of post-translational modifications\, lipidation and acetylation and the enzymes that catalyze these reactions: protein farnesyltransferase (FTase)\, protein geranylgeranyltransferase type I (GGTase-I)\, and histone deacetylases (HDACs). Enzymes that catalyze post-translational modifications face similar molecular recognition challenges\; they must recognize and efficiently modify a range of protein substrates in the midst of a larger number of non-substrate proteins\, making identification of the in vivo substrates an important and difficult task. For both the prenyltransferases and HDAC8 we have examined the substrate selectivity and have developed rules for molecular recognition\, including computational algorithms. Based on these data we have proposed that several hundred proteins are prenylated and validated these as substrates by in vivo analysis. Similarly\, for HDAC8 we have identified highly reactive peptide substrates using both computational and biological approaches as well as demonstrating increased reactivity with protein substrates. Furthermore\, we have analyzed regulation of the activity and specificity of HDAC8 by phosphorylation and Zn/Fe metal switching. These data provide insight into the biological substrates and function of HDAC8. \n UID:16046-1196959@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16046 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:dup,lecture LOCATION:Alumni Center - Founders Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140304T160855 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140410T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140410T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series DESCRIPTION:Over 30 years ago\, it was learned that the so-called microbial loop in marine planktonic ecosystems is responsible for processing about half of the primary productivity. Since then\, a series of discoveries have shown with increasing detail the processes that make up this loop and the organisms involved. Viruses went from being completely unknown and ignored to now known as the most abundant biological entities\, with many ecological\, biogeochemical\, and evolutionary impacts. Results from cloning and sequencing 16S rRNA yielded the totally unexpected result that mesophilic archaea\, previously unknown\, are remarkably abundant in seawater\, with metagenomics and then cultivation showing many are ammonia-oxidizing chemoautotrophs. Patterns in the distribution of microbes is now studied by high-throughput molecular methods. At our 13-year San Pedro Ocean Time Series\, we have found repeating seasonal patterns in community composition near the sea surface\, though much less in water slightly deeper at the chlorophyll-maximum depth. We developed tools to show Microbial Association Networks\, and these are showing many potential interactions among bacteria\, archaea\, protists\, and viruses\, with interesting patterns like contrasting network connectivity in bacteria-protist vs bacteria-virus networks.

The unique history of the U.S. has meant that the U.S. political discussion has historically been unconcerned with income inequality\; however\, rising inequality during the past three decades is attracting increased attention and concern. Growing economic inequality is also closely correlated with rising inequality in a variety of other social domains. This includes evidence of growing differences by economic status in education\, housing\, health\, and marital/fertility choices. Many of the major causes of this rising inequality are not easily addressed in any direct way. In fact\, some of these causes have produced other substantial benefits. Within the political economy of the U.S.\, there are only a limited number of areas where inequality can be addressed in ways that might garner widespread support\, including efforts aimed at greater opportunity for low-income families in education\, health care\, and (perhaps) political participation. Other approaches\, particularly those focused on changes in taxation or in job opportunities\, are less politically feasible.\n\nAbout the event:\n\nRebecca Blank will deliver the Citi Foundation Policy Talks @ the Ford School keynote of the two-day Poverty\, Policy\, and People: 25 Years of Research and Training at the University of Michigan.\n\nThe Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy will host this conference as one of the highlights of the school's year-long centennial celebrations. The conference is organized by Maria Cancian external link and Mary Pattillo external link\, will celebrate and explore the contributions to scholarship and professional development of the University of Michigan's Research and Training Program on Poverty and Public Policy\, directed for a quarter of a century by Professor Sheldon Danziger.

The two different archives of arguments and episodes that emerged from this early seventeenth-century debate offered distinct models of regional exemplarity\, scriptural exegesis\, and textual production. In this way\, the apparently chauvinistic struggle over how to eliminate Islam from the Crowns of Castile and Aragon became an engine of scholarly innovation.

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.

With understanding of basic linear regression concepts as a prerequisite\, the instructors will cover a wide range of topics including clustered data\, longitudinal studies\, and clustered longitudinal data. Participants will be introduced to the use of HLM 7.0 software. The workshop will consist of lively lectures and hands-on examples using HLM software.Many studies in social sciences (e.g.\, education\, human development\, public health\, sociology) are multilevel\, longitudinal\, or both. Multilevel data arise when participants are clustered within social settings. The variation and covariation within and between such settings are often of interest substantively and should not be ignored when assessing relationships between explanatory variables and outcomes. In longitudinal research\, we repeatedly observe subjects. These repeated measures for each participant will be correlated and explanatory variables may be time-varying or time-invariant. This workshop will consider the issues of analysis that arise in multilevel and longitudinal research settings.\n\nWe will first consider two-level cross-sectional studies in which persons (level-1) are nested within groups (level-2). The level-1 model specifies a process within each group\, and the level-2 model explains how these processes are different between groups. Next\, we will discuss two-level studies of individual growth and compare the structures of these studies to multilevel studies. We will also consider three-level models. We will focus on the case in which repeated measures (level-1) are nested within persons (level-2) who are themselves nested in organizations (level-3).\n\nAll of these studies will involve nearly continuous outcomes for which the normality distribution is at least plausible. They will also feature purely nested designs (e.g.\, persons nested within organizations). The workshop will provide participants with an overview of other types of applications where hierarchical linear models or generalized hierarchical linear models are appropriate (e.g.\, binary outcomes)\, and briefly discuss how the HLM software could be used to model such data.

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:16957-1199988@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:20140319T111925 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140411T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140411T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Adventures in Videoland: The Fun and Trouble of Researching Small-Town Video Stores DESCRIPTION:U-M faculty member Daniel Herbert presents material from his book \"Videoland: Movie Culture at the American Video Store\" (UC Press\, 2014)\, which details the impact video rental stores had on movie culture over the last several decades.\n\nHerbert focuses on his examination of small-town video stores and their workers. For many years\, rural Americans accessed movie culture at their local\, independently-owned video shops.

Language\, particularly with the format of a script\, is often used by these artists to negotiate the entanglements with their surroundings. Rather than adopting the format of a formal lecture\, Chong will attempt to produce this talk as a curatorial proposal for an imaginary exhibition dealing with these ideas. \n\nHeman Chong is an artist\, curator and writer based in Singapore. His conceptually-charged investigations into how individuals and communities imagine the future generates a multiplicity of objects\, images\, installations\, situations and texts. In this Plot & Lines\, Chong will speak about the combination of text and image in the work of artists living and working in cities located in South-east Asia as a method where preconceived ideas about place-making and community are challenged.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Dept. of Art History and the Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs.

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.

I will try to draw a narrative of my art practice. My art practice has been primarily read through the morbid and humorous representation of human and non-human\, organic and inorganic bodies.\n\nIt will be an insight into my works through my words. Through this talk I want to evade all the stereotypes that have come to be associated with me\; for I feel that change is essential and indispensable in making a body of art wholesome.\n\nI would like to look at ”˜feminism’ through the narrative of my work\, which is not central to one specific gender\, rather takes a more humane approach to appreciate life\, emotions and feelings and not only through the lens of acute eroticism and sexuality in my art practice.\n\nFurther I would like to explore the idea of language as it has evolved in my language over the years. Coming from a Bengali background and struggling with a more socially accepted “metropolitan” language like English I have come to use the unconscious and non-structured aspect of our consciousness in order to deal with this marginality. For me marginality is not only socio-political and cultural. It is also of our inner voices and emotions that we have come to ignore or forget under cultural pressure. This marginality resides in our body and our body resides on those margins.\n\nIn a way\, the narrative strewn through this talk will reflect the merging/fading of physical body into an abstract ”˜nothingness’ in my works: a nothingness which is intangible but with a presence of its own.\n\nFor more details.\n\nApril 11\, 4:00 PM\, Room 1636 School of Social Work Building\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 University of Michigan Museum of Art\, the Penny W.

From then on\, the Chinese cinema entered a brand new phase and enjoyed tremendous glory\; the 'Fifth Generation directors' won hundreds of awards at film festivals all over the world.

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.

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:16957-1199989@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:20140328T084554 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140412T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140412T170000 SUMMARY:Performance:Vanguards | Reflekt10ns DESCRIPTION:VANGUARDS is an annual event produced by FIGHTING OBSTACLES KNOWING ULTIMATE SUCCESS (FOKUS). Modeled with respect to a classic block party\, Vanguards is FOKUS’s flagship event\, showcasing and introducing the FOKUS vision of inclusivity\, fun\, creativity\, and collaborative learning to a wide array of students\, professors\, staff\, and Ann Arbor community.\n\nFor the past ten years\, Vanguards has taken place on a Saturday in April\, drawing over 500 people together from every walk of life in a day-long celebration. The individuals who attend or stumble upon Vanguards are reason for celebration enough – up-and-coming student artists\, trailblazing local musicians\, students at the end of another academic year\, and families passing through for a casual Saturday on campus. However\, it is the circulation of ideas and variety of experience that is Vanguards’ greater triumph. Creativity\, diversity\, and inclusivity are shared in the safe haven that FOKUS creates so all participants can come together and celebrate what makes them unique and find their common ground.\n\nFor 2014\, we are celebrating FOKUS’s 10 year anniversary. We want to honor FOKUS’s past and current dedication to diversity and social issues. Our goal this year is to embody our mission: to educate\, empower\, and unite communities using the arts. FOKUS’s motto “Art Is”¦” will provide the framework. Art is all around us and VANGUARDS 2014 will serve as a testament to the creativity that exists inside us all.\n\nHEADLINER PERFORMANCES: NoName Gypsy (Chicago)\, Kopelli (Detroit)\, Ty Beat and Matt Black (Grand Rapids)\, DJ AnnaMalistiik\n\nActivities: Live Painting + Giant Bubbles + Custom Tattoos + Henna + Yard Games + Zumba + Fun for ALL!!!

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.
