This year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. Clark’s exquisite, hand-cut paper creations highlights work from his two collections, “Chasing the Cherubim” and “Fiery Furnace”. Cherubim, the higher order of angels, are guardians representing divine authority in human life. Clark explores themes of changing human experience and consciousness and the evolution of authority though images of these winged beings and other manifestations. A former U-M physician, Clark, a.k.a. Dr. Snowflake, has been exhibiting his snowflakes at U-M Hospitals since 1987.

While Chicagoan Lisa S. Goesling has spent her life creating art, she discovered scratchboards (boards made of clay and India ink) while undergoing a cancer diagnosis in 2006. The idea that adversity teaches us to turn the negative into a positive is a great analogy for transforming these black boards into thriving works of art. Her past careers in graphic design and art direction continue to influence her art by incorporating the fundamentals of design, such as composition, pattern, texture, contrast, line, etc. Using nature as her muse, Goesling scratches fine lines into a layer of ink until meticulous images appear in the clay.

Ann Arbor artists Dick and Sue Rigterink use digital photography to share the joy and splendor of nature. By stopping fast motion, their photographs capture the moment and the personalities, whether a bird in flight or song, or a chipmunk jumping for a flower. They focus attention on the diversity, habitats, behavior, and beauty of local, recognizable wildlife to evoke memories in viewers. Dick has a Bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture from Michigan State and a Master’s from Harvard Graduate School of Design. Sue has a Bachelor’s from Michigan State in Mathematics. Their wildlife photographs have been published in Audubon Magazine and National Wildlife Federation.

Story greatly influences the clay sculptures of Leanne Schnepp. By combining animal and human forms and characteristics, she tells stories of connection and transformation. Humans, coyotes, frogs, and birds interact and “converse,” and mischievous children become monsters and tumble about. There is a sense of play and whimsy in the work and the opportunity for viewers to use their imagination. Schnepp earned her BFA at Michigan State University and has worked as an artist and teacher for the past 20 years. She currently lives and works in East Lansing.

Exhibition:"Now or Never": Collecting, Documenting, and Photographing the Aftermath of World War I in the Middle East
2015-04-04 08:30 - 19:00, 2015-04-05 08:30 - 19:00, 2015-04-06 08:30 - 19:00, 2015-04-07 08:30 - 19:00, 2015-04-08 08:30 - 19:00, 2015-04-09 08:30 - 19:00, 2015-04-10 08:30 - 19:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room
World War I was far from over in the Middle East when the Germany officially surrendered to the Entente forces on 11 November 1918. As the European colonial powers sought to divide up the territory of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire, the forces of Turkish nationalist leader Mustafa Kemal fought a war of independence claiming victory and announcing the establishment of a Turkish Republic on 29 October 1923. It was in the context of continued conflict that University of Michigan Professor of Archaeology Francis Willey Kelsey (1858-1927) traveled to the Near East. Accompanied by his wife Isabelle (Mary) Badger Kelsey (1867-1944), his fifteen-year old son Easton Trowbridge Kelsey (b. 1904) and University of Michigan staff photographer George Robert Swain (1866-1947), Kelsey visited a region of the world that not only had experienced four-years of destructive war and devastating famine, but also was the site of genocide.

The initial mission was to collect ancient manuscripts that were destined to disappear in the post war chaos. To initiate the mission, Prof. Kelsey wrote an urgent letter to Miss Belle da Costa Greene of the Pierpont Library on October 3, 1918. He solicited her support for an immediate expedition into the aftermath of war for “unless peace comes soon enough to save the remnants” of Greek and Armenian society, who have “been practically exterminated in certain large regions of Asia Minor” no record of these Christian communities would remain. It was “now or never” he writes that ancient and medieval manuscripts may be purchased from “unappreciative hands” for a token price. It was now or never that Greek, Syriac, Persian and Armenian manuscripts could be easily picked up and the “possession of these, and their proper preservation, will be a gain to science of inestimable value.” Little did Kelsey know that his travels to the Near East would also become a moment of witnessing. Kelsey’s diaries and Swain’s photographs on exhibit leave an important historical record that links them personally and the University of Michigan to one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history.

Organizers: Kathryn Babayan, associate professor of history and Near Eastern studies, U-M; and Melanie Tanielian, assistant professor of history, U-M.

Exhibition:The Jewish Tradition of Tsedakah as Exemplified in Pushkes, Charity Donation Boxes

This exhibit features an eclectic selection of Pushkes (פּושקעס) – the common Yiddish moniker for charity/donation boxes. In Judaism, dispensing of charity is not simply a monetary transaction. Rather, the act is a beautiful exemplar of an individual’s conscious choice to help another person, while also acknowledging the transience of material wealth and paying one’s good fortunes forward.

These Pushkes function as vessels that anonymize the donations within, stressing that the act of giving should not be done for acknowledgement. Instead, giving should signify a gesture of honest good will. Furthermore, the amalgam of wealth inside these boxes is comprised of the materiality and benevolence of an entire community.

Exhibition:Flip Your Field: Objects from the Collection
2015-04-04 11:00 - 17:00, 2015-04-05 12:00 - 17:00, 2015-04-07 11:00 - 17:00, 2015-04-08 11:00 - 17:00, 2015-04-09 11:00 - 17:00, 2015-04-10 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
For the third installation of the Flip Your Field series, UMMA invites Georgios Skiniotis, Professor of Biological Chemistry at U-M’s Life Sciences Institute and Medical School, to curate an exhibition from the Museum’s collection of three-dimensional objects.
As a scientist, Skiniotis creates three-dimensional models of cellular components by combining their magnified shadows or projections viewed from different perspectives. This type of study inevitably raises questions regarding the cognition of the objects around us—how, in the absence of perspective, are we to read elements like color, contrast variation, and depth of field in the dark outlines of objects? How do we make the cognitive connection between a two-dimensional shadow and the three-dimensional object that casts it? How many two-dimensional projections are needed for us to understand what we are looking at, and at what level of detail?
This exhibition poses such questions by juxtaposing three-dimensional objects from the Museum’s collection with two-dimensional projections created by Skiniotis using a similar process with which he creates models of cellular components. The presentation aims to provide a glimpse of the impressions of the selected works from varied directions through interplay with their own projections and our minds.
The UMMA Flip Your Field series asks noted University of Michigan faculty members to consider artwork outside their field of specialization in order to guest curate an exhibition using works from UMMA's renowned collection. The UMMA Flip Your Field series is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Exhibition:Guido van der Werve: Nummer veertien, home
2015-04-04 11:00 - 17:00, 2015-04-05 12:00 - 17:00, 2015-04-07 11:00 - 17:00, 2015-04-08 12:00 - 17:00, 2015-04-09 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
Nummer veertien, home, Dutch artist Guido van der Werve’s 54-minute film, weaves together three stories of journeys away from home: the death of Frédéric Chopin in Paris and his sister’s quest to bring the composer’s heart back to his native Poland for burial; Van der Werve’s own quest to retrace, in reverse, the route of Chopin’s heart in a three-week, thousand-mile trek of biking, running, and swimming; and the story of Alexander the Great, a traveling warrior who is one of Van der Werve’s personal heroes.

The film explores themes that are common in Van der Werve’s work: extreme physical and mental endurance, man’s struggle with the intensity of nature, the interplay of history and geography, the power of melancholy, and the solitary traveler. The artist’s signature sensibility—simultaneously surreal and deadpan—is accentuated in the film by the full orchestra that accompanies him on every stage of his journey. Van der Werve spent a year composing the film’s score, a classical requiem for forty voices and twenty strings, and the film’s structure mirrors that of the requiem: three movements of four acts apiece, with each act introduced by title shots to reinforce this organizational system. The tripartite framework underscores the three legs of Van der Werve’s personal triathlon and the three odysseys that intersect and inform one another throughout the film.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Exhibition:Hana Hamplová: Meditations on Paper
2015-04-04 11:00 - 17:00, 2015-04-05 12:00 - 17:00, 2015-04-07 11:00 - 17:00, 2015-04-08 11:00 - 17:00, 2015-04-09 11:00 - 17:00, 2015-04-10 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
Inspired by a story by Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal, Czech photographer Hana Hamplová created a memorable body of work during the 1970s based on how important paper and the written word are to civilization—including how easily writings and, consequently knowledge, can be lost. This exhibition, consisting of 19 photographs from UMMA’s collection, was inspired by the presence of the Frank Gehry chair made of cardboard in UMMA’s Design Gallery, and of and the need to address how artists from different cultures (present-day America and communist Czechoslovakia) view a commodity as common as paper.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for European Studies, Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

Exhibition:HE: The Hergott Shepard Photography Collection

For more than 25 years, Los Angeles-based collectors Alan Hergott and Curt Shepard have built a world-class collection of contemporary art that is focused on men and male identity as its subject matter. This exhibition features works from their vast holdings in photography. Guest curator Mario Codognato examines the lives of men in contemporary Western societies—with all their contradictions—through themes of competition and solidarity, confrontation with identity, and diverse explorations of the body and sexuality (as both sign and experience). Together, these thematic groups form a fictional, somewhat idealized, tale in 13 chapters, inviting viewers to reflect upon their own stories as well.

Drawing upon the Hergott Shepard collection as well as select works gifted by the collectors to the Hammer Museum at UCLA, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA), the exhibition will include more than 60 works by some of the most important names in late 20th and early 21st century art, including Doug Aitken, John Baldessari, Matthew Barney, Rineke Dijkstra, Gilbert and George, Nan Goldin, Robert Mapplethorpe, Catherine Opie, Herb Ritts, Thomas Ruff, Andres Serrano, and Wolfgang Tillmans.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Vice Provost for Equity, Inclusion, and Academic Affairs, Department of the History of Art, Institute for Research on Women and Gender, Institute for the Humanities, and Residential College, and the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund.

This exhibition celebrates the upcoming 2015 opening of the new Medicinal Garden at the University of Michigan’s Matthaei Botanical Gardens. The earliest botanical garden at the University was a pharmaceutical garden established in 1897 just off the Diag, at the heart of Central Campus. The new garden, developed in partnership with the College of Pharmacy and Medical School faculty, will continue that legacy, aiming to explore the botanical origins of historical and current medicines, and to promote a better understanding of the profound relationship between plants and human health.
Preceding the garden’s opening, this exhibition at UMMA will feature rarely seen archival plant specimens, deposited by pharmaceutical companies at the University Herbarium, along with newer herbarium specimens that reveal the captivating forms of these medicinal plants. These dried and pressed plant specimens will be accompanied by the presentation of the few remaining historic images of the original pharmaceutical garden, as well as a drawing of the layout of new garden at Matthaei, which is uniquely organized according to the systems of the human body that these medicinal plants are used to treat.
This exhibition is part of the U-M Collections Collaborations series, co-organized by and presented at UMMA and designed to showcase the renowned and diverse collections at the University of Michigan.

2015-04-04 19:00 - 21:00 | East Quadrangle - Keene Theater
The Illness Narratives seeks to foster a discussion of both sickness and humanity. With a mixture of community-submitted and professionally-written works, we wish to provide varied perspectives on illness. What does it mean to be sick, and to fight against one’s own body? What lies beyond illness? Finally, how does illness affect not only those who are sick, but their loved ones? Join us as we mount a production under the auspices of RC Players, the UM Residential College, the UM Honors Program, and the UM chapter of the American Medical Student Association, examining what the word “illness” truly means.

Come see us in East Quad's Keene Theater!

Performance:Feufollet
2015-04-04 20:00 | Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S. Main, Ann Arbor, MI
In Louisiana Cajun folklore, "feufollet" is the word for the will-o-the-wisp, the mysterious light that can be seen hovering near the ground, usually in dark swamplands or marshes. The feufollet, or “dancing fire,” guides travelers to safety in many folktales, or at least back to the road through the wilderness. For the members of La Bande Feufollet, who have been performing Louisiana music since they were kids, Cajun songs are not unlike these alluring lights, enchanting their audiences. Cajun music for this young sextet is a way to have fun and play and sing, but also a way to understand and fathom the roots of their culture and heritage. Feufollet has been featured several times on NPR's "American Routes," and Elvis Costello called their release "En Couleurs" "the most beautifully melodic album I’ve heard all year.” They come to town with a much-awaited new release, "Two Universes."

Our understandings of gender have shifted dramatically in recent decades. No longer is gender a matter of an immutable binary, or a set of predetermined preferences and predilections. This exhibition--the first of its kind--both celebrates and interrogates the visual aspects of the re- imaging of gender.

Re-imaging Gender features the work of 15 promising artists who take on one of the most important challenges facing contemporary art: how to render the modern spectrum of gender, going beyond the simple male/female binary to include a wide variety of identities and sexualities.

The Re-imaging artists, MFA students enrolled at Michigan and CIC universities (Big 10, plus Chicago), responded to an IRWG-issued Call for Art. The result is an exhibition of 17 works in a variety of media, including photography, paint, lithograph, mixed media, and video, which reflect new understandings of gender.

The exhibit will be displayed at the Lane Hall Gallery, a space shared by IRWG and the U-M Department of Women’s Studies, from January 15 - June 26, 2015.

Guy Michael Davis and Katie Parker
(collaboratively working under the name Future Retrieval)

The objects presented merge the strengths of our studio practice – a dark vein backed by a historical current. Ornament and detail collide with a fascination of taxidermy and natural order. Each object contains a history, reaching back and highlighting ideals of time and labor.
Three-dimensional scans and photographs have been rapid prototyped, processed in the studio, and molded into porcelain mimicking the world of European decorative arts. Inspired also by German animal sculptures and cut silhouettes, we are using digital translation to both highlight and transform these details that fascinate us. The interest in new technologies and industrial methods is that each piece is handmade, but maintains the record of a computer driven interpretation. Our intention is to make art objects that reference design and are held together by craft.

Bio
Future Retrieval

Guy Michael Davis was born in 1978 and raised in Bartlesville, OK. Katie Parker was born in 1980 in Jonesboro Arkansas, and grew up in Plano, Texas. They both attended the Kansas City Art Institute from 1999-2003 and received BFA degrees in ceramics.
Katie went straight to graduate school at The Ohio State University from 2003-2005, Guy followed suit three years later from 2006-2008. Both Katie and Guy received MFA degrees in ceramics.
Currently, Katie is an Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati, running the ceramics department. Guy works for multiple designers across the country, and is an adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati. For several years, they have also been collaborating together, making objects that combine new technology, porcelain, and good craft. The objects merge the strengths of their individual studio practice – a dark vein backed by a historical current. They have exhibited both nationally and internationally, with recent shows in New York City, Jingdezhen China, Cardiff Wales, Philadelphia, Kansas City, and Tempe Arizona. This summer they were both artists in residence at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art in Omaha, NE.

Lecture / Discussion:Distinguished University Professorship Lecture and Reception
2015-04-06 16:00 - 18:00 | Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Amphitheatre and Assembly Hall
"In Praise of Signal Transduction: Discovery of Pathways Affecting Growth, Obesity and Cancer"

The ability to correctly coordinate biochemical signaling events is essential for life. Signal transduction occurs when a hormone in the circulation or an extracellular ligand binds to a specific receptor protein and triggers a biochemical chain of signaling events inside the cell. Depending on the cell and the ligand, the chain of events alters the cell's metabolism, shape, gene expression, and/or ability to divide. We asked how growth hormone (GH) initiates cellular responses that ultimately result in a coordinated increase in body growth and altered fat and carbohydrate metabolism. We hypothesized that GH might function like the small group of growth factors then known to activate a tyrosine kinase built into their receptors. Instead, we found a new paradigm in which GH activates a separate tyrosine kinase (JAK2) that is recruited to the GH receptor. This paradigm was found to apply to a whole group of receptors that bind proteins involved in immune function, appetite suppression, hematopoiesis, and nerve function. We next determined that Stat transcription factors that regulate gene expression are phosphorylated and activated by JAK2. JAK2 and Stats were found to be essential for GH to regulate body height and metabolism. JAKs and Stats are now known to also cause a variety of cancers when activated abnormally. Much of our work has focused on identifying cellular targets of JAK2. One such protein is the scaffold protein SH2B1. SH2B1 is recruited to activated JAK2 and is critical for GH-dependent changes in the actin cytoskeleton and cell motility. SH2B1 is recruited to a variety of receptors implicated in neuronal function and body metabolism. Recently, human patients have been identified that carry genetic mutations in SH2B1. In addition to decreased adult height, these patients exhibit severe early onset childhood obesity and insulin resistance. Thus, by asking the simple question of how GH acts at the cellular and molecular level, we have identified proteins that regulate not just height, but also play critical roles in body weight regulation and multiple cancers.

Helen McCabe, Executive Director, The Five Project for International Autism and Disability Support

Though education and disability policy have indicated that education should be compulsory for all children in China, children with disabilities still are too often left out of the public school system. Due to the incomplete implementation of these policies, private organizations (“NGOs”) have been established to provide educational intervention to these children, including those with autism. This talk describes the policy and educational context for children with autism in China, and provides an examination of the achievements and challenges of NGOs for children with autism, with a focus on competition and collaboration between organizations.

Helen McCabe is Executive Director, of The Five Project for International Autism and Disability Support; and a Clinical Researcher at Hussman Institute for Autism. She began volunteering with children with autism in China in 1992, in Nanjing. She earned her Ph.D. in Special Education and International Education from Indiana University in 2004. Based on years of volunteering and research in China, in 2006 she co-founded the non-profit, The Five Project for International Autism and Disability Support. As Executive Director, she provides training and support to autism organizations and teachers around China. She is also Clinical Researcher at the Hussman Institute for Autism, where she conducts research about best practices in autism, both in China and the US.

Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture
2015-04-07 16:00 - 17:30 | School of Social Work Building - 1636
Speaker: Jennifer Miller-Gonzalez (PhD political science ’13), WCED Research Fellow, U-M

In this talk, Miller-Gonzalez asks why some mainstream, center-right parties in Western Europe seek the votes of ethnic minorities, non-Western immigrants, and their descendants, at some times and not others? The conventional wisdom is that center-right parties would forgo minorities’ votes and would concentrate instead on mobilizing native voters by expressing antagonism to these groups and portraying the presence of cultural diversity as a threat to national identity. After all, defense of tradition and the nation’s cultural self-understanding are central to these parties’ identity, and thus the retention of “core” supporters. Yet considerable spatial and temporal variation in center-right party strategy toward ethnic minorities challenges this view. These differences matter as they have distinct policy correlates as well as implications for the political incorporation of ethnic minorities.

To explain the timing and rationale behind outreach, Miller-Gonzalez will discuss how the way politicians see the complexity of this population drives their outreach strategies. Specifically, rather than treat all ethnic minorities the same, center-right parties distinguish between those with citizenship and those without. She will illustrate these factors in the context of six Western European countries—Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK—from 1970 through 2010. The comparative evidence suggests that changes in citizenship rates best explain party positions toward ethnic minorities, despite differences in institutional, competitive, and economic conditions. These findings have implications for our understanding of immigrant incorporation, the dynamics of national identity, and the relationship between party politics and identity more generally.

Jennifer Miller-Gonzalez is a WCED Research Fellow for the 2014-15 academic year. Her primary research interests revolve around the topics of race and ethnicity and party politics in Western Europe. She completed her PhD in Political Science at the University of Michigan in 2013. Her graduate studies were supported by National Science Foundation grants and a Jean Monnet Fellowship from the Center for European Studies.

Exhibition:Ramiro Gomez: Cut-Outs
2015-04-08 09:00 - 10:00 | 202 S. Thayer - Institute for the Humanities, Gallery
Artist Ramiro Gomez’s life-sized cardboard cutouts, paintings, and constructions bring attention to those who toil behind the familiar scenes of luxury and affluence in America.

LA based, he often focuses on the Hispanic work force in Beverly Hills—the nannies, and gardeners, housekeepers, and pool cleaners.

In 2014, he spent several weeks as an artist in residence with the U-M Institute for the Humanities, mounting his works across the Diag, changing our everyday landscape on campus. One installation depicted migrant workers in the field, incorporating cardboard vegetable boxes foraged from the dumpsters behind dorm cafeterias. Another illustrated a groundskeeper tending to fall leaves.

For his current exhibition, Gomez will create a room-sized installation of his cutouts in the Institute for the Humanities gallery.

Although his works contemplate issues of race and cultural identity, they more philosophically explore delineations and disconnects between people, the have and have-nots, the visible and invisible. His articulated figures are performative, capturing the rhythm and gesture of the service industry, their endless repetitions that keep things running. Almost naïve in materiality and process, his constructions are measured and deliberate actions of inclusion.

Seeing a Gomez figure propped on a manicured lawn—or in a Hockney painting, or pasted in a luxury goods magazine ad—permanently changes the picture, and our narratives about wealth and prosperity in our society.
-Amanda Krugliak, Institute for the Humanities curator

Dr. Elizabeth Bomberg, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh, Scotland

Description
The development of shale gas, especially through hydraulic fracturing (or ‘fracking’) has become increasingly important and contested. While much as been written on shale extraction policy in the US, coverage of shale politics and policy in Europe is less well known. In this talk Elizabeth Bomberg will explore the politics surrounding shale exploration in Europe, focusing on a series of core questions: Why has shale extraction become so contested in Europe? How important is shale to Europe’s energy mix? Why have different European states adopted such different positions on shale extraction? What role will the European Union (EU) play in shaping shale development in its member states? Throughout the talk Dr. Bomberg will make comparisons to shale developments and politics in the US.

Elizabeth Bomberg was born in California and moved to Scotland in the 1990s. She is currently senior lecturer (associate professor) and Deputy Head of Politics at the University of Edinburgh. She serves as associate director of the University’s Global Environmental and Society Academy (GESA) and directs the MSc program in Global Environment, Politics and Society. Her area of expertise is comparative environmental politics and policy, with a substantive focus on movements, climate change, energy, and sustainable development, and a geographic emphasis on the European Union. She is currently researching the politics of shale, especially issues linked to activism, regulation and risk. She is also involved in an AHRC project on church-based climate activism.

Lecture / Discussion:History, Health, and Rights in Guatemala
2015-04-08 16:00 - 17:30 | Tisch Hall - Room 1014
This panel brings together the historian who discovered that the United States conducted sexually transmitted disease (STD) experiments in Guatemala in the 1940s and a leading anthropologist with 25 years of experience investigating human rights abuses and genocide in that country. They will discuss their contributions to uncovering violations of health and human rights in Guatemala, and connect their vital work to contemporary global issues of transitional justice and medical ethics.

Panelists:

SUSAN M. REVERBY, Marion Butler McLean Professor in the History of Ideas and Professor of Women's and Gender Studies, Wellesley College

“Is Apology Enough? Putting the U.S.-Guatemalan STD Research in Historical and Human Rights Context”

It has not been uncommon in fiction (Sinclair Lewis’ Arrowsmith) or fact (U.S./Guatemalan research on STDs that involved infecting without consent) for questionable medical research to be agreed to by developing world physicians anxious to improve the health care of their populace. Based on my experience as an historian who brought the STD experiments in Guatemala to light, I will discuss how we come to understand this research as immoral as we link health rights to human rights. I will ask if just condemning these studies, or even apologizing for them at a high governmental level, is enough and what we might do to prevent their recurrences.

VICTORIA SANFORD, Professor & Chair Department of Anthropology and Director of Center for Human Rights and Peace Studies, Lehman College-The City University of New York

“Anthropological Methods for Documenting Human Rights Violations and Genocide”

When asked why exhumations of mass graves were important for human rights investigations, the late, great Dr. Clyde Snow famously said, “The bones don’t lie.” From Argentina to Guatemala, Iraq to Sri Lanka, Mexico to Congo, and many other corners of the world, Dr. Snow investigated massive human rights violations and trained a new generation of human rights investigators. In the process, he built a new role for anthropology and anthropologists to investigate and document human rights violations for legal processes in truth commissions and courts as well as for the production of historical memory for society and reclaiming of historical subjectivity for victims and survivors.

Drawing on 25 years of experience investigating human rights violations and genocide in Guatemala, I will discuss the theory and practice of forensic exhumations, victim identification, archival and testimonial research and their interplay in legal processes and community desires for justice. I will explore the ways in which science, law and justice complement and collide with one another as investigations move forward from the field to legal courts and the court of public opinion. I consider the role of the researcher as both documentarian and participant in the production of history as well as legal precedence.

2015-04-08 19:00 - 21:00 | Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210
Sara Seager, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
"The Search for Earth 2.0"
The discovery and characterization of exoplanets have the potential to offer the world one of the most impactful findings ever in the history of astronomy—the identification of life beyond Earth. Life can be inferred by the presence of atmospheric biosignature gases—gases produced by life that can accumulate to detectable levels in an exoplanet atmosphere. Detection will be made by remote sensing by sophisticated space telescopes. The conviction that biosignature gases will actually be detected in the future is moderated by lessons learned from the dozens of exoplanet atmospheres studied in last decade, namely the difficulty in robustly identifying molecules, the possible interference of clouds, and the permanent limitations from a spectrum of spatially unresolved and globally mixed gases without direct surface observations. The vision for the path to assess the presence of life beyond Earth is being established.

Lecture / Discussion:FDR: PREPARING THE COUNTRY TO GO TO WAR
2015-04-09 10:00 - 11:30 | Off Campus Location
During the years prior to our entry into World War II, President FDR was facing a country that was largely against our involvement. The America First Committee, Charles Coughlin, and Charles Lindbergh were very vocal in their opposition. FDR moved slowly but persistently to overcome this resistance. We will focus on the importance of pre-war mobilization and the world and national events which led to the decision to build 500,000 airplanes a year at Ypsilanti’s Willow Run Bomber Plant.

A skilled flight trainer, Randy piloted the P-3 Orion airplane in the Vietnam War, and now flies the Yankee Air Museum’s B-17 bomber.

Conference / Symposium:CJS Special Event
2015-04-09 12:00 - 13:00 | School of Social Work Building - Room 1636
The Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami and the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster struck at a time of dramatic change in media and communications. The ways in which news of the disasters reached audiences around the world; the communication tools adopted by affected populations in the aftermath; our methods of recording and commemorating March 11th, 2011--all of these reflect the magnitude of that change. Through presentations on such topics as international media coverage of the disasters, citizen radiation mapping, and digital archiving, this panel event seeks to provide valuable insight into how our evolving media and communications landscape impacted the way people learned about, responded to, and remember 3/11.

Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series: Louis Benech
2015-04-09 17:10 - 18:00 | Off Campus Location
Renowned landscape designer Louis Benech has carried out some 300 park and garden projects around the world including at the Tuileries, the Elysée Gardens and the Quai d’Orsay, Pavlovsk’s Rose Pavilion (St Petersburg), and the Gardens of the Achilleion (Corfu). He has also worked for organizations such as Hermes, Axa and Suez. With each of his projects, Benech combines a desire to create long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing gardens with respect for a site’s history and ecosystem, while also considering its future upkeep. At the heart of his work is one simple idea — a garden is an artificial construction with elements of nature. It has to bring pleasure to those who experience it and a break in their life. A recipient of the Chevalier of the Légion d’Honneur and Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, Benech is now working at the Palace of Versailles on a contemporary garden for the Water Theatre Grove.

Film Screening:Cambodian Son Screening
2015-04-09 18:00 - 22:00 | Palmer Commons - Forum Hall
Cambodian Son is a 2014 documentary film about the journey of Kosal Khiev from prisoner in America to world-class poet in Cambodia.

When: Thursday April 9th

Time & Where:

Recption - 6PM Palmer Commons Atrium
Screening - 7 PM Palmer Commons Forum Hall
Cambodian Son documents the life of deported poet, Kosal Khiev after receiving the most important performance invitation of his career—to represent the Kingdom of Cambodia at the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad. Kosal would travel to London having only taken two flights prior; first, as a 1-year-old refugee child whose family fled Cambodia and, then as a 32-year-old criminal “alien” forcibly returned to Cambodia in 2011. Armed only with memorized verses, he must face the challenges of being a deportee while navigating his new fame as Phnom Penh’s premiere poet. After the performances end and the London stage becomes a faint memory, Kosal is once again left alone to answer the central question in his life: “How do you survive when you belong nowhere?”

Performance:Green Operas
2015-04-09 20:00, 2015-04-10 20:00 | Walgreen Drama Center - Stamps Auditorium
Timothy Cheek and Steven McGhee, music directors

Robert Swedberg’s Opera Studio classes are presenting performances of two one-act versions of Mozart operas: La Finta Giardiniera, written by 18-year-old Mozart and titled, in this version, Love in the Garden State, sung in Italian with English dialogue; and La Clemenza di Tito, written in Mozart’s last year, also sung in Italian. Both operas will be presented at each performance and will feature both undergraduate and graduate level students. This is the seventh year that U-M is presenting Green Operas as part of the Opera Studio program. Green Operas are designed to reduce the energy consumption associated with theatrical presentation by using mostly projected scenery, or otherwise recycled materials for scenic elements and costumes; LED lights; musical scores printed on recycled paper; and the avoidance of printed advertising or programs, offering, instead, a QR code link to a website for smart-phones. These efforts reduce energy consumption for these performances by as much as 95% relative to similar productions in similar venues without green economies.

Performance:Robert Earl Keen
2015-04-09 20:00 | Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S. Main, Ann Arbor, MI
It's not always easy to sum up a career, let alone a life's ambition, in five words, but "the road goes on forever," Robert Earl Keen's calling-card anthem, just about does it. You can complete the lyric with the next five words, the ones routinely shouted back at Robert by thousands of fans a night—"and the party never ends!" It's the journey that makes Robert Earl Keen tick. Some people take up a life of playing music with fame and fortune in mind, but from the get-go Robert Earl Keen just wanted to write and sing his own songs, and to keep writing and singing them for as long as possible. "I thought of it in terms of having a really, really good career and writing some good songs," he says, "and getting on stage and having a really good time." What other Texas songwriter sells his own brand of Bloody Mary mix? Robert Earl Keen comes to Michigan with a new bluegrass album, "Happy Prisoner."

Presentation:Faculty Candidate Talk: People, Policy, and Practice in the Learning Health System: A vision for the next generation
2015-04-10 12:00 - 13:00 | Palmer Commons
Jodyn Platt, MPH, PhD is a research investigator in the Department of Learning Health Sciences within the Medical School and in the Department of Health Management and Policy within the School of Public Health.

The next generation of health information technology, organized as a “learning health system,” promises efficient, engineered solutions to the well-known and enduring maladies of the existing U.S. health infrastructure: escalating costs, poor health outcomes, ineffective use of technology, sluggish research pipelines, dangerous medical error rates, and failure to implement known clinical best practices. A learning health system would enable continuously and rapidly operating virtuous cycles of health improvement through study, feedback, and change by capitalizing on increasing amounts of digital health data. This presentation examines the significance and role of public engagement and public trust in the emerging learning health system. It further considers how research in this area can inform stable policy platforms that will contribute to meeting the vision of the learning health system.

Lecture / Discussion:We Heart Malolos: Cultural Heritage Preservation/Tourism in Malolos, Bulacan, Philippines
2015-04-10 12:00 - 13:00 | School of Social Work Building - Room 1636
Speaker: Kale Fajardo, associate professor of American Studies and Asian American Studies, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities

Malolos, Bulacan, Philippines was at the heart of Philippine nationalism and nation-building at the end of the 19th Century. The town (now city) was the site of the 1898 constitutional convention and the first Philippine Republic was established in Malolos, at the sanctuary of the Barasoain Church. Additionally, the convent at the Malolos Cathedral served as the presidential palace for the first Philippine President, Emilio Aguinaldo. In this way, Malolos is seen as “the birthplace of the first constitutional republic in Asia.” In 2011, a leading cultural heritage preservation non-governmental organization (NGO), Heritage Conservation Society (based in Manila) threatened to remove Malolos from the Philippines’s lists of historical and cultural heritage and resources because the organization alleged, “there were no efforts done by the local government and the people to preserve the marked structures.” This lecture addresses the problems and possibilities of cultural heritage preservation/tourism efforts (including architectural preservation) in contemporary Malolos. In particular, Fajardo will discuss how “Manila-fication” or urbanization impacts cultural heritage preservation/tourism efforts in Malolos, as well as increased out-migration and increased local population densities, real estate developments, flooding resulting from climate change, and Philippine neoliberal economic policies. The lecture is based on participant-observation research and public education efforts Fajardo has been conducting and coordinating in Malolos in partnership with The Women of Malolos Foundation – a cultural heritage advocacy NGO, and Bahay-Saliksikan ng Bulacan (The Center for Bulacan Studies) at Bulacan State University.

About the Speaker:

Born in Malolos, Bulacan, Philippines and raised in Portland, Oregon, Kale Bantigue Fajardo is an associate professor of Asian/American Studies at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Fajardo completed his undergraduate degree at Cornell University where he studied Southeast Asian Studies/Philippine Studies and feminist studies. Fajardo completed his PhD in cultural anthropology from the University of California, Santa Cruz. His first book, Filipino Crosscurrents: Seafaring, Masculinities and Globalization was published by the University of Minnesota Press (2011). Filipino Crosscurrents was one of only two books published outside of the Philippines selected by the University of the Philippines Press for reprinting for a Philippine and Southeast Asian audience (2013). He has a forthcoming essay – “Queering and Transing the Great Lakes: Filipino/a Tomboy Masculinities and Manhoods Across Waters,” in an special issue of GLQ, titled Queering the Middle: Race, Region and a Queer Midwest. Fajardo has published other essays in Figures of Southeast Asian Modernity (2013); GLQ: Gay and Lesbian Studies Quarterly (2008) and Mains'l Haul (2002). He is currently conducting on-going advocacy-research on cultural heritage preservation/tourism in Malolos and is collaborating with cultural heritage preservation/tourism advocates and cultural workers in his hometown to produce a series of public education/anthropology events that center around cultural heritage preservation/tourism efforts in Malolos. This research and public education is funded by a two-year Grant-in-Aid of Research, Scholarship, and Artistry from the Office of the Vice President for Research at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

Lecture / Discussion:David Baysunghur’s Model Books: Making Manuscripts in Early Fifteenth-Century Herat
2015-04-10 16:00 - 18:00 | Tappan Hall - 180
Timurid prince Baysunghur (d. 1433), son of Shahrukh, grandson of Timur, has long been recognized as both generous patron and accomplished practitioner of art and literature. The effects of a rich corpus of written sources in Persian and the objects made for him—a personal library of finely made manuscripts—have led scholars to attribute to him creative agency and aesthetic adjudication. While the lecture questions this formulation, its chief concern is to reconsider the achievements of artists in the Herat workshop (kitabkhana) and the new kinds of books that they made. Baysunghur’s books were not only marked by technical accomplishment and formal coherence across media but by the studied emulation of selected artistic traditions throughout Greater Iran. The lecture gauges the implications and effects of these choices upon the beholder.

David J. Roxburgh is Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Professor of Islamic Art History at Harvard University where he has taught since he received the Ph.D. from University of Pennsylvania in 1996. In his publications, Roxburgh has pursued several interests—including aesthetics and the history of reception—and approaches to the study of art history.

Lecture / Discussion:Musicology Lecture: Professor Ellen Koskoff, Eastman School of Music
2015-04-10 17:00 | Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - East Conference Room
What, if anything, is feminist about ethnomusicology? What do fieldwork, ethnography, and music contribute to the process of dismantling hierarchies of power based on gender? And, what does feminism contribute to a deeper understanding of social and musical difference? In this talk, Koskoff draws on her recent collection of essays, A Feminist Ethnomusicology, raising the question posed in the title with the hope for lively discussion to follow.

Performance:The Bacchae of Euripides
2015-04-10 19:30 - 21:30 | Off Campus Location - Conservatory
Directed by Kate Mendeloff

Performance:Luke Wade
2015-04-10 20:00 | Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S. Main, Ann Arbor, MI
You've heard Luke Wade on "The Voice." Now get to know him better! Luke's music attempts to reflect honestly the human condition. Such a calling requires a humility and self-awareness that seldom find an artist until late in his career, when he’s turned the corner from idealistic to philosophical. Often young singer-songwriters aspire to draw a picture with words, a melodic expression of the visual, hoping to capture a single meaningful moment in time. Luke aspires to capture our journey through it—and his sophomore album, “The River," speaks to a brilliant departure on that journey.

Michael Haithcock, conductor; Dustin Barr, graduate conductor; Micah Smiley, trombone

What sparks a composer’s creative process? Recreating a bygone era for dramatic purposes, a musical reflection of the composer’s love of painting, pleasing a prospective patron, exploring the expressive possibilities of a particular instrument, and a musical portrait of ancient mythology characters provided the creative spark for the works to be performed on the final Symphony Band concert of the academic year. Classical structures meet romantic ideals.
PROGRAM: Mozart- Serenade No. 11 in E-flat; Britten- “Courtly Dances” from Glorianna; Husa- Al Fresco; Ticheli- Concertino for Trombone (featuring 2015 Concerto Competition winner, Micah Smiley); Schmitt- Dionysiaques
