SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents A Gathering of Friends: Linocut Prints
DESCRIPTION:Laura B. DeLind has been cutting and hand-printing linocuts for over 40 years. She enjoys linoleum as a print medium because it is unpretentious\, has no pre-existing texture\, and lends itself to bold\, spontaneous images. DeLind is fascinated by black and white design and the interactions of positive and negative space. Her prints are inspired by organic shapes\, birds providing a ready-made “excuse” to explore pattern. DeLind’s work has been exhibited regionally and nationally.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art from My Heart: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Daria White Paik grew up in Seoul\, Korea where she received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1983. In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Before the decline of its industrial landscape\, Lackawanna\, New York was a lively steel city that employed more than half its population at the Bethlehem Steel plant. In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\,  in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography  when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962. These photos were ultimately used in his first and one of his most popular books\, “The Forgotten Ones.”\n\nLocated in Monts Hall\, “A Yemeni Community” runs from January 15 – February 27\, 2016. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.\, and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday\, including complimentary parking and admission.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Drug Discovery Lecture Series — \"Molecular target identification in kidney disease across disciplines and continents\"
DESCRIPTION:Learn how researchers at University Michigan have used a precision medicine strategy to attack chronic kidney disease —identifying new biomarkers for disease progression\, and targets for drug discovery projects to develop new therapeutics. \n \nMore than 20 million Americans — 1 in 10 adults — have some level of chronic kidney disease\, making the search for better diagnostic tools and new therapies a high priority for researchers.\n\nThe current biomarkers do a poor job in predicting disease progression\, and patients have few options beyond burdensome dialysis or kidney transplant.  Frances Collins\, Director NIH\, recently highlighted the importance of Matthias’s research in a recent blog post. \n\nhttp://directorsblog.nih.gov/2015/12/15/pursuing-precision-medicine-for-chronic-kidney-disease/\n\nAbstract\n\nChronic kidney disease\, particularly DN\, leads to immeasurable individual suffering\, but also present unprecedented economic challenges to our society. Endstage renal disease costs\, largely driven DN\, consume already more than $42 Billion/year (1.2% of the federal budget of the USA). With the ongoing obesity and diabetes epidemic we can expect\, with a 12-15 year delay\, a tidal wave of DN overwhelming our health care system. We have to use this narrow time window to establish effective therapies to prevent or at least augment diabetic endorgan damage. Innovative approaches are needed\, as DN has not seen any novel therapies introduced over the last two decades. In response to this challenge\, our research team has embraced the concept of Precision Medicine and have established a global research network linked to an analytical systems biology infrastructure at U.Michigan (UM). Over the last 2 decades we have pioneered the study of molecular regulatory programs in human renal tissue to establish a molecular taxonomy of renal disease as a prerequisite for the identification of novel treatment strategies and diagnostic markers. \n\nA critical element was the development of a standardized clinical and sample procurement protocol for integrative –omic analysis in renal disease cohort linked to a robust bioinformatics analysis pipeline I have established in the Applied Systems Biology Core I lead in the UM Kidney Translational Core Center. Sharing our innovative cohort study designs with the key leaders in nephrology allowed us to establish cohort studies for molecular disease definition in Europe (ERCB\, EURenOmics)\, North America (CPROBE\, NEPTUNE)\, China (Joint Renal Institute PKU-UM\, NEPTUNE-China) and sub-Saharan Africa (H3-CKD-Africa). These cohorts capture the genotype-phenotype continuum of renal disease with the goal to define key molecular drivers. Taking advantage of the access to human renal biopsy tissue to study the molecular programs\, our research networks have mapped the intra-renal transcriptional programs in glomerular diseases including early and progressive CKD and DN\, defined murine models recapitulating human DN pathways for target validation\, identified a molecular marker panel for prediction of CKD progression and mapped genetic risk loci of DN into their functional context using a systems genetics approach. Most importantly\, our studies convinced Eli Lilly and Company to test Baricitinib\, a Jak2 inhibitor developed for rheumatoid arthritis\, for treatment of DN\, moving from target identification to successful completion of  aPhase II in less than 42 month (Clinicaltrials.gov:NCT01683409)\, a paradigm shift in clinical trials in DN towards personalized medicine in DN. The rich data sets allow to go beyond repurposing towards development of novel therapeutic targets supported by multiple lines of evidence from human studies and animal models. The CDNM is a critical partner in this effort to pursue novel targets identified by our precision medicine approach. Access to the deeply phenotyped observational cohorts around the globe for interventional trials provides the needed infrastructure to rapidly test novel or repurposed compounds in CKD and DN to meet the challenge of this global epidemic in time. \n\nAbout the speaker\n\nThe overarching goal of Kretzler’s research is to define renal disease in mechanistic terms and to use this knowledge for targeted therapeutic interventions. To reach this goal\, Kretzler has developed a translational research pipeline centered on integrated systems biology analysis of glomerular disease. He is the principal investigator of the U54 Nephrotic Syndrome Research Network (Neptune) in the Rare Disease Clinical Research Network II\, the Data Coordinating Center for the UM1 CureGN network\, and the Director of the Applied Systems Biology Core at the O’Brien Renal Center at University of Michigan. Kretlzer has 20 years of experience in integration of bioinformatics\, molecular and clinical approaches in more than 150 collaborative studies on molecular analysis of renal disease.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Soviet Constructivist Posters
DESCRIPTION:During the 1920s the Soviet Union emerged on the world stage. The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n	UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n	Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n	Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s
DESCRIPTION:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s\, the first major museum survey to examine the art of this pivotal decade in its historical context\, showcases over 64 works by 46 artists born or practicing in the United States. The exhibition\, whose title references the 1992 Nirvana song (considered by many an anthem for the decade)\, focuses on three principal themes—debates over “identity politics\,” the digital revolution\, and globalization—and explores a range of geopolitical milestones and social issues through the perspective of artists working at that time. The exhibition also illustrates the diverse ways in which the developments of the 1990s redefined contemporary approaches to artistic practice and\, in the words of exhibition curator Alexandra Schwartz\, “writes a history of the ’90s through the lens of the visual arts.”\n\nCome as You Are looks at the dramatic changes in the art world itself\, including the ongoing culture wars\; issues of artistic freedom and censorship\; the impact of new media and the emergence of video\, sound\, and digital art\; the expansion of the global art market\; and the explosion of art fairs and biennials. It also investigates the art world’s increasing heterogeneity as artists of color\, women artists\, and LGBT artists attained increased prominence. Artists include Doug Aitken\, Felix Gonzalez-Torres\, Glenn Ligon\, Julie Mehretu\, Prema Murthy\, Shirin Neshat\, Catherine Opie\, Gabriel Orozco\, Diana Thater\, Rirkrit Tiravanija\, and Kara Walker in a wide range of works including installations\, paintings\, sculptures\, drawings\, prints\, photography\, video\, and digital art.\n\nCome as You Are: Art of the 1990s is organized by the Montclair Art Museum and curated by Alexandra Schwartz\, curator of contemporary art\, with Kimberly Siino\, curatorial assistant. This exhibition is made possible with generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support is provided by Samantha and Ross Partrich\, Andrea and Joel Brown\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, Residential College\, and Department of American Culture.

DESCRIPTION:The Late Cretaceous period is described as being a “cool greenhouse” climate\, with temperatures somewhat warmer than today and elevated atmospheric CO2 levels of 400-1000 ppm. Exactly how much warmer\, and the spatial pattern of that warming\, remain under debate due to disagreements between different temperature proxies and model output. I will present new clumped isotope temperature data from the Maastrichtian age (72-66 Ma) and compare it to existing proxy data and new global climate model simulations. The clumped isotope proxy also measures the isotopic composition of seawater (δ18Oseawater)\, a quantity that has not previously been constrained for the Cretaceous and is assumed to be -1‰ in most paleoclimate studies. With this new data we can directly test whether these assumptions are valid. This talk will have three focal points – a global look at equator-to-pole temperature and δ18Oseawater gradients\, a regional study of δ18Oseawater and salinity in the disappearing Western Interior Seaway\, and an in-depth look at climate on the Antarctic Peninsula at the end of the Cretaceous. This last vignette will look at the climate impacts of Deccan Traps volcanism and the Chicxulub meterorite impact event that\, together or separately\, wiped out the dinosaurs and caused the most famous of the “big five” mass extinctions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jeffrey Wilson\, Associate Curator in the Museum of Paleontology and and Associate Professor in the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences at the University of Michigan\n\nThe Indian subcontinent had a dynamic geographic and geologic history that is important to understanding major events in Earth history\, including the extinction of dinosaurs\, the uplift of the Himalayas\, and the origin\, evolution\, and dispersal of major groups of land-based backboned animals. India was originally a southern landmass\, interlocked with Australia\, Africa\, Antarctica\, and other Gondwanan landmasses until the middle of the dinosaur era. Some 150 million years ago\, India began its northern migration partially in isolation\, across the equator to contact Asia around 50 million years ago.\n\nTwo profound events shaped India's biota during this northward journey: a lengthy interval of geographic isolation and the aftereffects of the outpouring of the Deccan Trap flood basalts. Geographic isolation of large landmasses tends to produce dramatic examples of endemic floras and faunas such as those of Madagascar and Australia—what were the effects on the Indian biota? The outpouring of the Deccan Trap flood basalts\, whose after-effects may have led to climate change and acid rain\, may have been important in destabilizing ecosystems in the run-up to the extinction of dinosaurs at the end of the Mesozoic. Wilkinson will give some examples of recent biodiversity research in South Asia. Beyond the biology per se\, he will also highlight and discuss obstacles to biodiversity research in South Asia from a historical perspective. Wilkinson suggests that\, at least in some areas\, there are strong indications of substantial advances in science quality associated with the maturation of a new generation of biodiversity scientists.\n\nJeff Wilson is an Associate Curator in the Museum of Paleontology and and Associate Professor in the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on the evolution of long-necked dinosaurs\, on the vertebrate paleontology of the Indian Subcontinent\, and on fossil tracks and trackways. Jeff's conducts field work in India and Jordan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: Alexandra Neyman\, of AGG Lab
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Epigenesis: Plastic Assemblages\, a lecture by Alexandra Neyman\, of AGG Lab.\n\nIdentity - Human\, Animal\, and Architectural - can no longer be defined by a singular character. It is a complex behavorial hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian \"becoming\"\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavorial traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative \n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nBodies are cultivated through systemic logics that exhibit emergent behavior\, and are examined based on the production of evolutionary traits. Design techniques are set up through the concept of growing self-similar assemblages\, with varied degrees of differentiated characteristics - where surface\, structure and volume are integrated. In its commitment to metamorphosis\, rather than metaphor\, bodies are pushed to the extreme to investigate their full growth capabilities toward a maximum of difference and a hybridization of behavioral conditions.\n\nThe work investigates the development of plastic ecologies that are bred from the evolution of variegated assemblies. Assemblages operate at multiple scales - from the scale of the body\, to skin and surface\, to integrated structural wall systems\, to landscapes to ornament. Bodies fluctuate between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication. Emphasis is placed on multiple acts of translation\, which tend towards contamination. Evolution is sponsored by interferences\, corruptive infiltrations\, and intricate articulation of surface.\n\nAbout Alexandra Neyman\n\nAlex holds both a Master of Architecture and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.  She also attended University of Michigan School of Art and Design.\n\nAlex has a bit over 10 years of professional experience in the field of architecture: ranging from housing projects to libraries and schools to small scale residential remodeling and renovation.  She has worked in multiple architectural offices and has taught architecture at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.  Alex is currently teaching architecture at the Academy of Art University.  She also is a founding partner at agglab.\n\nAlex’s experimental research is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic language\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication. The processes developed diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields\, yet are always endowed with material architectural tendencies.  Logics are cultivated through systematic processes\, and examined based on the production of evolutionary traits. Formal invention is evaluated through the assembly of design outcomes.\n\nAbout Agg Lab\n\nAgg lab is a San Francisco based interdisciplinary research practice led by Monica Tiulescu and Alexandra Neyman (Taubman alumna).\n\nAgg lab is pursuing generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields.  Design is approached through experimental methodologies that are initially influenced by concepts derived  from systems thinking and specific observations extracted from basic biological behaviors such as genetic variation.\n\nAgg Lab is interested in the production of non-traditional architectural language\, both formal and methodological\, that is always in a fluctuating state of constant growth and regeneration. The work produces methods for design that in result operate more like species then objects and produce alternative tectonic languages of representation. Tectonics are cultivated through systematic logics\, and examined based on the production of evolutionary traits. Formal invention is evaluated through the assembly of design outcomes.\n\nDesign techniques are set up through the concept of growing self-similar assemblages with varied degrees of differentiated characteristics. These are imbued with logics extracted from organic systems.  Explicit Behaviors are displayed in highly articulated and distinctive formal conditions at the local and global level. The logic for establishing formal and continuous seeming relationships\, is contingent upon generating autonomous procedures.\n\nExhibition opening to follow at the Liberty Annex (305 W. Liberty)\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

DeLind is fascinated by black and white design and the interactions of positive and negative space. Her prints are inspired by organic shapes\, birds providing a ready-made “excuse” to explore pattern. DeLind’s work has been exhibited regionally and nationally.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art from My Heart: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Daria White Paik grew up in Seoul\, Korea where she received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1983. In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Scenes in Fabric
DESCRIPTION:Lenore Crawford uses fabric to express her love of French architecture and flowers. The pieces are inspired by photos she has taken\, and she creates her fiber art with an eye for color and realism using a raw edged fusing technique. Small amounts of fabric paint provide detail and shading. The texture and warmth achieved from the fabric itself lends the work an impressionistic softness. Capturing the beauty of everyday life and her surroundings in fiber is her passion.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Splits & Music: Snowflake Paper Cuttings
DESCRIPTION:This year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. Clark’s exquisite\, hand-cut paper creations highlights work from his book Splits as well as a collection of snowflakes about music. Each of these exquisite designs are intricate works of art\, yet as a group\, they tell stories that encompass much more than the sum of their parts. In addition to their pictorial detail\, the perfect symmetry of snowflake design contributes to the metaphorical meanings. A former U-M physician\, Clark\, a.k.a. Dr. Snowflake\, has been exhibiting his snowflakes at U-M Hospitals since 1987. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday\, January 7 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Before the decline of its industrial landscape\, Lackawanna\, New York was a lively steel city that employed more than half its population at the Bethlehem Steel plant. In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\,  in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography  when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962. These photos were ultimately used in his first and one of his most popular books\, “The Forgotten Ones.”\n\nLocated in Monts Hall\, “A Yemeni Community” runs from January 15 – February 27\, 2016. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.\, and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday\, including complimentary parking and admission.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition On-View: AGG Lab
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Exhibition On-View: AGG Lab. \n\nExhibition On-View: January 16 – February 21\n\nIdentity—human\, animal and architectural—can no longer be defined by a singular character. It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nAGGLAB/LABORATORIA. www.agglab.com Agg lab is a San Francisco based design collaborative and interdisciplinary research practice led by Alexandra Neyman and Monica Tiulescu. Agglab is interested in production of generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields.\n\nLABORATORIA is a research practice led by Alexandra Neyman focusing on experimental research which is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic languages\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication.\n\nIn collaboration with AAU Architecture students:\n\nYi Wang\, Saraswati Sri Lalitadewi Latumahina\, Sami Almidani\, Rapeepong Tanmanee\, Ke Wang\, Jesus Gutierrez\, Si Beck Nam\, Alnofai Amany\, Andrade Anderson\, Andreas Christina\, Arabshahi Alireza\, Baker Ryan\, Chen Chao\, Conrad Nathan\, Duarte Kenia\, Fabelhaft\, Nasira\, Gao\, Yuan\, Jean\, Rodly\, Jiang\, Dinghong\, Liu\, Yaxin\, Liu\, Yumin\, Mead\, Matthew\, Wan\, Jane Gee-Yeng\, Wang\, Ximai\, Zhu\, Jiongyu\, Domingcil Rhonuel\, Kanamori Fernanda\, Ameziane\, Lamiae\, Li Yu-Hsin\, Ma Cheng\, Sathawarintu Chayakorn\, Ela Edjang\, Imelda\, Ghimire\, Verna\, Ingle Dylan\, Mlynar Lyndsay\, Oye Kenta\, Rojas Naomi\, Ruiz Alvaro.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Soviet Constructivist Posters
DESCRIPTION:During the 1920s the Soviet Union emerged on the world stage. The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n	UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n	Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n	Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s
DESCRIPTION:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s\, the first major museum survey to examine the art of this pivotal decade in its historical context\, showcases over 64 works by 46 artists born or practicing in the United States. The exhibition\, whose title references the 1992 Nirvana song (considered by many an anthem for the decade)\, focuses on three principal themes—debates over “identity politics\,” the digital revolution\, and globalization—and explores a range of geopolitical milestones and social issues through the perspective of artists working at that time. The exhibition also illustrates the diverse ways in which the developments of the 1990s redefined contemporary approaches to artistic practice and\, in the words of exhibition curator Alexandra Schwartz\, “writes a history of the ’90s through the lens of the visual arts.”\n\nCome as You Are looks at the dramatic changes in the art world itself\, including the ongoing culture wars\; issues of artistic freedom and censorship\; the impact of new media and the emergence of video\, sound\, and digital art\; the expansion of the global art market\; and the explosion of art fairs and biennials. It also investigates the art world’s increasing heterogeneity as artists of color\, women artists\, and LGBT artists attained increased prominence. Artists include Doug Aitken\, Felix Gonzalez-Torres\, Glenn Ligon\, Julie Mehretu\, Prema Murthy\, Shirin Neshat\, Catherine Opie\, Gabriel Orozco\, Diana Thater\, Rirkrit Tiravanija\, and Kara Walker in a wide range of works including installations\, paintings\, sculptures\, drawings\, prints\, photography\, video\, and digital art.\n\nCome as You Are: Art of the 1990s is organized by the Montclair Art Museum and curated by Alexandra Schwartz\, curator of contemporary art\, with Kimberly Siino\, curatorial assistant. This exhibition is made possible with generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support is provided by Samantha and Ross Partrich\, Andrea and Joel Brown\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, Residential College\, and Department of American Culture.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Korean Cinema NOW | Gangnam Blues 강남 1970
DESCRIPTION:2015  |  135 minutes  |  Directed by Yoo Ha\n\nGangnam Blues (Gangnam 1970) is an intense crime action film starring K-drama star Lee Min-ho (Boys Over Flowers) in his first leading role in a film. Director Yoo Ha \"thought it would be a good idea to drop Lee Min Ho’s second-generation chaebol heir image to the floor as a low-life.\"\n\nIn the 1970s\, during the height of political corruption\, Gangnam\, the southern part of Seoul is starting to be transformed into a developed area. Childhood friends Jong-dae and Yong-ki struggled to get by\, until their shanty homes are demolished by local thugs. Desperate for cash\, they get involved in violent political clashes\, and are separated during one of the skirmishes. Three years later\, Jong-dae lives as an honest man with former gang leader Kil-su. Meanwhile\, Yong-ki has joined Seoul’s most powerful criminal organization and fights over the lands in Gangnam\, all in the name of putting together secret political funds that drive up the value of the city. As the gangs fight over the rights to various plots\, Yong-ki is captured and interrogated by a rival gang...\n\nFree  |  Open to the public  |  In Korean with English subtitles

DESCRIPTION:Laura B. DeLind has been cutting and hand-printing linocuts for over 40 years. She enjoys linoleum as a print medium because it is unpretentious\, has no pre-existing texture\, and lends itself to bold\, spontaneous images. DeLind is fascinated by black and white design and the interactions of positive and negative space. Her prints are inspired by organic shapes\, birds providing a ready-made “excuse” to explore pattern. DeLind’s work has been exhibited regionally and nationally.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art from My Heart: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Daria White Paik grew up in Seoul\, Korea where she received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1983. In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

DESCRIPTION:Lenore Crawford uses fabric to express her love of French architecture and flowers. The pieces are inspired by photos she has taken\, and she creates her fiber art with an eye for color and realism using a raw edged fusing technique. Small amounts of fabric paint provide detail and shading. The texture and warmth achieved from the fabric itself lends the work an impressionistic softness. Capturing the beauty of everyday life and her surroundings in fiber is her passion.

DESCRIPTION:This year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. Clark’s exquisite\, hand-cut paper creations highlights work from his book Splits as well as a collection of snowflakes about music.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition On-View: AGG Lab
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Exhibition On-View: AGG Lab. \n\nExhibition On-View: January 16 – February 21\n\nIdentity—human\, animal and architectural—can no longer be defined by a singular character. It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nAGGLAB/LABORATORIA. www.agglab.com Agg lab is a San Francisco based design collaborative and interdisciplinary research practice led by Alexandra Neyman and Monica Tiulescu. Agglab is interested in production of generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields.\n\nLABORATORIA is a research practice led by Alexandra Neyman focusing on experimental research which is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic languages\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication.\n\nIn collaboration with AAU Architecture students:\n\nYi Wang\, Saraswati Sri Lalitadewi Latumahina\, Sami Almidani\, Rapeepong Tanmanee\, Ke Wang\, Jesus Gutierrez\, Si Beck Nam\, Alnofai Amany\, Andrade Anderson\, Andreas Christina\, Arabshahi Alireza\, Baker Ryan\, Chen Chao\, Conrad Nathan\, Duarte Kenia\, Fabelhaft\, Nasira\, Gao\, Yuan\, Jean\, Rodly\, Jiang\, Dinghong\, Liu\, Yaxin\, Liu\, Yumin\, Mead\, Matthew\, Wan\, Jane Gee-Yeng\, Wang\, Ximai\, Zhu\, Jiongyu\, Domingcil Rhonuel\, Kanamori Fernanda\, Ameziane\, Lamiae\, Li Yu-Hsin\, Ma Cheng\, Sathawarintu Chayakorn\, Ela Edjang\, Imelda\, Ghimire\, Verna\, Ingle Dylan\, Mlynar Lyndsay\, Oye Kenta\, Rojas Naomi\, Ruiz Alvaro.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s
DESCRIPTION:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s\, the first major museum survey to examine the art of this pivotal decade in its historical context\, showcases over 64 works by 46 artists born or practicing in the United States. The exhibition\, whose title references the 1992 Nirvana song (considered by many an anthem for the decade)\, focuses on three principal themes—debates over “identity politics\,” the digital revolution\, and globalization—and explores a range of geopolitical milestones and social issues through the perspective of artists working at that time. The exhibition also illustrates the diverse ways in which the developments of the 1990s redefined contemporary approaches to artistic practice and\, in the words of exhibition curator Alexandra Schwartz\, “writes a history of the ’90s through the lens of the visual arts.”\n\nCome as You Are looks at the dramatic changes in the art world itself\, including the ongoing culture wars\; issues of artistic freedom and censorship\; the impact of new media and the emergence of video\, sound\, and digital art\; the expansion of the global art market\; and the explosion of art fairs and biennials. It also investigates the art world’s increasing heterogeneity as artists of color\, women artists\, and LGBT artists attained increased prominence. Artists include Doug Aitken\, Felix Gonzalez-Torres\, Glenn Ligon\, Julie Mehretu\, Prema Murthy\, Shirin Neshat\, Catherine Opie\, Gabriel Orozco\, Diana Thater\, Rirkrit Tiravanija\, and Kara Walker in a wide range of works including installations\, paintings\, sculptures\, drawings\, prints\, photography\, video\, and digital art.\n\nCome as You Are: Art of the 1990s is organized by the Montclair Art Museum and curated by Alexandra Schwartz\, curator of contemporary art\, with Kimberly Siino\, curatorial assistant. This exhibition is made possible with generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support is provided by Samantha and Ross Partrich\, Andrea and Joel Brown\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, Residential College\, and Department of American Culture.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Soviet Constructivist Posters
DESCRIPTION:During the 1920s the Soviet Union emerged on the world stage. The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n	UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n	Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n	Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

SUMMARY:Performance:John Primer
DESCRIPTION:John Primer followed the great blues highway and moved to Chicago from his hometown of Camden\, Mississippi\, in 1963. Soon he was rocking such West Side clubs as The Place\, The Bow Tie\, and Lover's Lounge. Over the years he was a member of the house band at the South Side's legendary Theresa's club\, of Willie Dixon's Chicago All-Stars\, and\, until 1995\, of Magic Slim & the Teardrops. That year he released his Atlantic Records debut\, \"The Real Deal\,\" and his nine albums since then have been classics of traditionalist blues phrasing and lightning-fast slide guitar. A master storyteller and songwriter\, he has an endless repertoire and a sound that's at once very familiar and pretty hard to find these days. John is the real deal in Chicago blues!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents A Gathering of Friends: Linocut Prints
DESCRIPTION:Laura B. DeLind has been cutting and hand-printing linocuts for over 40 years. She enjoys linoleum as a print medium because it is unpretentious\, has no pre-existing texture\, and lends itself to bold\, spontaneous images. DeLind is fascinated by black and white design and the interactions of positive and negative space. Her prints are inspired by organic shapes\, birds providing a ready-made “excuse” to explore pattern. DeLind’s work has been exhibited regionally and nationally.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art from My Heart: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Daria White Paik grew up in Seoul\, Korea where she received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1983. In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Scenes in Fabric
DESCRIPTION:Lenore Crawford uses fabric to express her love of French architecture and flowers. The pieces are inspired by photos she has taken\, and she creates her fiber art with an eye for color and realism using a raw edged fusing technique. Small amounts of fabric paint provide detail and shading. The texture and warmth achieved from the fabric itself lends the work an impressionistic softness. Capturing the beauty of everyday life and her surroundings in fiber is her passion.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Splits & Music: Snowflake Paper Cuttings
DESCRIPTION:This year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. Clark’s exquisite\, hand-cut paper creations highlights work from his book Splits as well as a collection of snowflakes about music. Each of these exquisite designs are intricate works of art\, yet as a group\, they tell stories that encompass much more than the sum of their parts. In addition to their pictorial detail\, the perfect symmetry of snowflake design contributes to the metaphorical meanings. A former U-M physician\, Clark\, a.k.a. Dr. Snowflake\, has been exhibiting his snowflakes at U-M Hospitals since 1987. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday\, January 7 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1.

SUMMARY:Other:6th Annual Right to Success
DESCRIPTION:Delta Tau Lambda Sorority\, Inc. and Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity\, Inc. are Latino-based organizations with multicultural membership who share goals of academic excellence and community service. The purpose of Right to Success is to introduce successful and underrepresented students from Grand Rapids Public High Schools to their older counterparts in a university setting here at the University of Michigan. Additionally\, we wish to assist students begin and/or continue their applications while welcoming all students to Michigan’s diverse campus. We hope that this experience will change the limited perspective of higher education in urban schools due to cultural and socioeconomic barriers. Together\, we will be able to build students’ confidence in applying to the University of Michigan by welcoming them into a strong and diverse community\, as many have the potential to shape the dynamic of student life\, but may not have had the opportunity to begin exploring the option.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Before the decline of its industrial landscape\, Lackawanna\, New York was a lively steel city that employed more than half its population at the Bethlehem Steel plant. In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\,  in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography  when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962. These photos were ultimately used in his first and one of his most popular books\, “The Forgotten Ones.”\n\nLocated in Monts Hall\, “A Yemeni Community” runs from January 15 – February 27\, 2016. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.\, and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday\, including complimentary parking and admission.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition On-View: AGG Lab
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Exhibition On-View: AGG Lab. \n\nExhibition On-View: January 16 – February 21\n\nIdentity—human\, animal and architectural—can no longer be defined by a singular character. It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nAGGLAB/LABORATORIA. www.agglab.com Agg lab is a San Francisco based design collaborative and interdisciplinary research practice led by Alexandra Neyman and Monica Tiulescu. Agglab is interested in production of generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields.\n\nLABORATORIA is a research practice led by Alexandra Neyman focusing on experimental research which is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic languages\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication.\n\nIn collaboration with AAU Architecture students:\n\nYi Wang\, Saraswati Sri Lalitadewi Latumahina\, Sami Almidani\, Rapeepong Tanmanee\, Ke Wang\, Jesus Gutierrez\, Si Beck Nam\, Alnofai Amany\, Andrade Anderson\, Andreas Christina\, Arabshahi Alireza\, Baker Ryan\, Chen Chao\, Conrad Nathan\, Duarte Kenia\, Fabelhaft\, Nasira\, Gao\, Yuan\, Jean\, Rodly\, Jiang\, Dinghong\, Liu\, Yaxin\, Liu\, Yumin\, Mead\, Matthew\, Wan\, Jane Gee-Yeng\, Wang\, Ximai\, Zhu\, Jiongyu\, Domingcil Rhonuel\, Kanamori Fernanda\, Ameziane\, Lamiae\, Li Yu-Hsin\, Ma Cheng\, Sathawarintu Chayakorn\, Ela Edjang\, Imelda\, Ghimire\, Verna\, Ingle Dylan\, Mlynar Lyndsay\, Oye Kenta\, Rojas Naomi\, Ruiz Alvaro.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Film & Discussion Part 1: Foreigners in Their Own Land
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes\, Director Latina/o Studies Program\, Associate Professor of American Culture leads tonight’s screening and discussion of the film Foreigners in their Own Land (1565-1880) begins one hundred years after Columbus' arrival in the Caribbean\, as Spanish Conquistadors and Priests push into North America in search of gold and to spread Catholicism. With the arrival of the British in North America\, the two colonial systems produce contrasting societies that come in conflict as Manifest Destiny pushes the U.S into the Mexican territories of the South West.\n\nThrough the Mexican American War\, the U.S. takes a full half of Mexico's territory by 1848. Over seventy thousand Mexicans are caught in a strange land and many become American citizens.\n\nAs the Gold Rush floods California with settlers\, complex and vital communities are overwhelmed. Mexicans and Mexican Americans are treated as second-class citizens\, facing discrimination and racial violence. Resistance to this injustice appears in New Mexico as Las Gorras Blancas (The White Caps)\, burn Anglo ranches and cut through barbed wire to prevent Anglo encroachment. At the same time\, New Mexicans manage to transform themselves through education\, managing to preserve Hispano culture in New Mexico and their standing in the midst of an era of conquest and dispossession.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art from My Heart: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Daria White Paik grew up in Seoul\, Korea where she received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1983. In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Scenes in Fabric
DESCRIPTION:Lenore Crawford uses fabric to express her love of French architecture and flowers. The pieces are inspired by photos she has taken\, and she creates her fiber art with an eye for color and realism using a raw edged fusing technique. Small amounts of fabric paint provide detail and shading. The texture and warmth achieved from the fabric itself lends the work an impressionistic softness. Capturing the beauty of everyday life and her surroundings in fiber is her passion.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Splits & Music: Snowflake Paper Cuttings
DESCRIPTION:This year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. Clark’s exquisite\, hand-cut paper creations highlights work from his book Splits as well as a collection of snowflakes about music. Each of these exquisite designs are intricate works of art\, yet as a group\, they tell stories that encompass much more than the sum of their parts. In addition to their pictorial detail\, the perfect symmetry of snowflake design contributes to the metaphorical meanings. A former U-M physician\, Clark\, a.k.a. Dr. Snowflake\, has been exhibiting his snowflakes at U-M Hospitals since 1987. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday\, January 7 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Before the decline of its industrial landscape\, Lackawanna\, New York was a lively steel city that employed more than half its population at the Bethlehem Steel plant. In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\,  in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography  when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962. These photos were ultimately used in his first and one of his most popular books\, “The Forgotten Ones.”\n\nLocated in Monts Hall\, “A Yemeni Community” runs from January 15 – February 27\, 2016. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.\, and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday\, including complimentary parking and admission.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition On-View: AGG Lab
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Exhibition On-View: AGG Lab. \n\nExhibition On-View: January 16 – February 21\n\nIdentity—human\, animal and architectural—can no longer be defined by a singular character. It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nAGGLAB/LABORATORIA. www.agglab.com Agg lab is a San Francisco based design collaborative and interdisciplinary research practice led by Alexandra Neyman and Monica Tiulescu. Agglab is interested in production of generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields.\n\nLABORATORIA is a research practice led by Alexandra Neyman focusing on experimental research which is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic languages\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication.\n\nIn collaboration with AAU Architecture students:\n\nYi Wang\, Saraswati Sri Lalitadewi Latumahina\, Sami Almidani\, Rapeepong Tanmanee\, Ke Wang\, Jesus Gutierrez\, Si Beck Nam\, Alnofai Amany\, Andrade Anderson\, Andreas Christina\, Arabshahi Alireza\, Baker Ryan\, Chen Chao\, Conrad Nathan\, Duarte Kenia\, Fabelhaft\, Nasira\, Gao\, Yuan\, Jean\, Rodly\, Jiang\, Dinghong\, Liu\, Yaxin\, Liu\, Yumin\, Mead\, Matthew\, Wan\, Jane Gee-Yeng\, Wang\, Ximai\, Zhu\, Jiongyu\, Domingcil Rhonuel\, Kanamori Fernanda\, Ameziane\, Lamiae\, Li Yu-Hsin\, Ma Cheng\, Sathawarintu Chayakorn\, Ela Edjang\, Imelda\, Ghimire\, Verna\, Ingle Dylan\, Mlynar Lyndsay\, Oye Kenta\, Rojas Naomi\, Ruiz Alvaro.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Soviet Constructivist Posters
DESCRIPTION:During the 1920s the Soviet Union emerged on the world stage. The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n	UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n	Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n	Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s
DESCRIPTION:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s\, the first major museum survey to examine the art of this pivotal decade in its historical context\, showcases over 64 works by 46 artists born or practicing in the United States. The exhibition\, whose title references the 1992 Nirvana song (considered by many an anthem for the decade)\, focuses on three principal themes—debates over “identity politics\,” the digital revolution\, and globalization—and explores a range of geopolitical milestones and social issues through the perspective of artists working at that time. The exhibition also illustrates the diverse ways in which the developments of the 1990s redefined contemporary approaches to artistic practice and\, in the words of exhibition curator Alexandra Schwartz\, “writes a history of the ’90s through the lens of the visual arts.”\n\nCome as You Are looks at the dramatic changes in the art world itself\, including the ongoing culture wars\; issues of artistic freedom and censorship\; the impact of new media and the emergence of video\, sound\, and digital art\; the expansion of the global art market\; and the explosion of art fairs and biennials. It also investigates the art world’s increasing heterogeneity as artists of color\, women artists\, and LGBT artists attained increased prominence. Artists include Doug Aitken\, Felix Gonzalez-Torres\, Glenn Ligon\, Julie Mehretu\, Prema Murthy\, Shirin Neshat\, Catherine Opie\, Gabriel Orozco\, Diana Thater\, Rirkrit Tiravanija\, and Kara Walker in a wide range of works including installations\, paintings\, sculptures\, drawings\, prints\, photography\, video\, and digital art.\n\nCome as You Are: Art of the 1990s is organized by the Montclair Art Museum and curated by Alexandra Schwartz\, curator of contemporary art\, with Kimberly Siino\, curatorial assistant. This exhibition is made possible with generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"'Coming Aut'. or Disclosing Autism to Doubting Publics\"
DESCRIPTION:When autistic people disclose being autistic\, we are often met with intrusive questions and hostile responses: Who diagnosed you? Have you tried B-12 supplements? Well\, you don't look autistic to me.\n\nAutism disclosure can provide entry for others to tally our symptoms\, to compare the context of our disclosures against their knowledge (or lack thereof) of autism stereotypes or lay understandings of diagnostic criteria. In this talk\, I examine the ways in which autism disclosure functions as a metonym for diagnostic assessment. That is\, declaring one’s neuroqueerness is often culturally read as an invitation for neurotypicals to theorize and assess what neuroqueerness is. In this way\, autism disclosure is often agonistic\, expectant of non-autistic refutation. The ability to say\, “I have autism\,” for example\, is intuited as evidence that one does not have autism — or\, at least\, not “real” or “severe” autism. In particular\, I look toward what Margaret Price (2009) has called “counter-diagnosis” as one means through which autistic people queer the contours of rhetorical containment\, of diagnostic fixity. In toying with the very idea of diagnosis itself\, autistic rhetors instill their own queered credibilities\, in which authority is derived from one’s pathological lack of authority.\n\nMelanie Yergeau is assistant professor of English at the University of Michigan. Her academic interests include digital media studies and disability studies\, and\, more specifically\, what the neurodiversity movement has to teach us about learning\, teaching\, writing\, difference\, and being. She received the 2011 Hugh Burns Dissertation Award\, and I am currently working on a book project about autism and embodied authorship.\n\nYergeau has published in Kairos\, Computers and Composition Online\, Disability Studies Quarterly\, and College English. For many years she served on the board of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN)\, a nonprofit organization run for and by individuals on the autism spectrum\, and currently serves on the board of the Autism National Committee (also known as AutCom). She blogs semi-regularly on matters of rhetoric\, autistic culture\, and technology at aspierhetor.com.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Tappan Talks: \"Cassettes 100: Site and Sound in Philippine Performance\"
DESCRIPTION:History of Art PhD candidate Tina Le gives a 20-minute presentation followed by discussion.\n\nOn March 8\, 1971\, one hundred people carrying cassette players descended on the lobby of the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Called Cassettes 100\, the happening was orchestrated by composer Jose Maceda one year prior to Ferdinand Marcos’ declaration of Martial Law in the Philippines. Under the veil of performance\, Cassettes 100 provided an occasion for a reconfiguration of public space and different articulations of agency within the bounds of an authoritarian\, state-sanctioned institution. Maceda had composed a score of one hundred complementary parts individually recorded onto cassettes played by the participants. The cassettes included sound from musical instruments and environmental noises such as gongs\, human voices\, clappers\, flutes\, leaves\, shells and so forth. The grand lobby of the Cultural Center had been adorned with rolls of white toilet paper and panels of paper. Floodlights flashed at six-minute intervals into relative darkness to indicate a change of positioning. Audience members were invited to circulate\, interact and perform with the original hundred participants as images were projected onto the surfaces of paper and walls\, blurring the distinction between participant and public amidst the chaos. The happening concretized a public that could refuse or resist Marcos’ claim of perfect national unity\, a public that paradoxically could only persist due to the regime’s attention to state building and desire of foreign approval.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents A Gathering of Friends: Linocut Prints
DESCRIPTION:Laura B. DeLind has been cutting and hand-printing linocuts for over 40 years. She enjoys linoleum as a print medium because it is unpretentious\, has no pre-existing texture\, and lends itself to bold\, spontaneous images. DeLind is fascinated by black and white design and the interactions of positive and negative space. Her prints are inspired by organic shapes\, birds providing a ready-made “excuse” to explore pattern. DeLind’s work has been exhibited regionally and nationally.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art from My Heart: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Daria White Paik grew up in Seoul\, Korea where she received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1983. In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

DESCRIPTION:Lenore Crawford uses fabric to express her love of French architecture and flowers. The pieces are inspired by photos she has taken\, and she creates her fiber art with an eye for color and realism using a raw edged fusing technique.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Before the decline of its industrial landscape\, Lackawanna\, New York was a lively steel city that employed more than half its population at the Bethlehem Steel plant. In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\,  in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography  when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962. These photos were ultimately used in his first and one of his most popular books\, “The Forgotten Ones.”\n\nLocated in Monts Hall\, “A Yemeni Community” runs from January 15 – February 27\, 2016. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.\, and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday\, including complimentary parking and admission.

DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Exhibition On-View: AGG Lab. \n\nExhibition On-View: January 16 – February 21\n\nIdentity—human\, animal and architectural—can no longer be defined by a singular character. It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nAGGLAB/LABORATORIA. www.agglab.com Agg lab is a San Francisco based design collaborative and interdisciplinary research practice led by Alexandra Neyman and Monica Tiulescu. Agglab is interested in production of generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields.\n\nLABORATORIA is a research practice led by Alexandra Neyman focusing on experimental research which is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic languages\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication.\n\nIn collaboration with AAU Architecture students:\n\nYi Wang\, Saraswati Sri Lalitadewi Latumahina\, Sami Almidani\, Rapeepong Tanmanee\, Ke Wang\, Jesus Gutierrez\, Si Beck Nam\, Alnofai Amany\, Andrade Anderson\, Andreas Christina\, Arabshahi Alireza\, Baker Ryan\, Chen Chao\, Conrad Nathan\, Duarte Kenia\, Fabelhaft\, Nasira\, Gao\, Yuan\, Jean\, Rodly\, Jiang\, Dinghong\, Liu\, Yaxin\, Liu\, Yumin\, Mead\, Matthew\, Wan\, Jane Gee-Yeng\, Wang\, Ximai\, Zhu\, Jiongyu\, Domingcil Rhonuel\, Kanamori Fernanda\, Ameziane\, Lamiae\, Li Yu-Hsin\, Ma Cheng\, Sathawarintu Chayakorn\, Ela Edjang\, Imelda\, Ghimire\, Verna\, Ingle Dylan\, Mlynar Lyndsay\, Oye Kenta\, Rojas Naomi\, Ruiz Alvaro.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Soviet Constructivist Posters
DESCRIPTION:During the 1920s the Soviet Union emerged on the world stage. The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n	UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n	Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n	Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s
DESCRIPTION:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s\, the first major museum survey to examine the art of this pivotal decade in its historical context\, showcases over 64 works by 46 artists born or practicing in the United States. The exhibition\, whose title references the 1992 Nirvana song (considered by many an anthem for the decade)\, focuses on three principal themes—debates over “identity politics\,” the digital revolution\, and globalization—and explores a range of geopolitical milestones and social issues through the perspective of artists working at that time. The exhibition also illustrates the diverse ways in which the developments of the 1990s redefined contemporary approaches to artistic practice and\, in the words of exhibition curator Alexandra Schwartz\, “writes a history of the ’90s through the lens of the visual arts.”\n\nCome as You Are looks at the dramatic changes in the art world itself\, including the ongoing culture wars\; issues of artistic freedom and censorship\; the impact of new media and the emergence of video\, sound\, and digital art\; the expansion of the global art market\; and the explosion of art fairs and biennials. It also investigates the art world’s increasing heterogeneity as artists of color\, women artists\, and LGBT artists attained increased prominence. Artists include Doug Aitken\, Felix Gonzalez-Torres\, Glenn Ligon\, Julie Mehretu\, Prema Murthy\, Shirin Neshat\, Catherine Opie\, Gabriel Orozco\, Diana Thater\, Rirkrit Tiravanija\, and Kara Walker in a wide range of works including installations\, paintings\, sculptures\, drawings\, prints\, photography\, video\, and digital art.\n\nCome as You Are: Art of the 1990s is organized by the Montclair Art Museum and curated by Alexandra Schwartz\, curator of contemporary art\, with Kimberly Siino\, curatorial assistant. This exhibition is made possible with generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support is provided by Samantha and Ross Partrich\, Andrea and Joel Brown\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, Residential College\, and Department of American Culture.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Taking the Place of Stalin: The Story of Late Communism
DESCRIPTION:In 1955\, an enormous statue of Stalin was unveiled in Prague. Measuring over 100 feet\, the granite monument dominated the city’s skyline. But a year later\, following Khrushchev’s “secret speech\,” Stalin went from hero to villain. Six years later\, Prague’s Stalin was obliterated with 1600 pounds of explosives. Paulina Bren will talk about what came next\, about the vast plinth that thereafter remained empty\, about the period of history known as late communism. While much has been written about the 1950s and 1960s\, the 1970s and 1980s remain largely uncharted territory for historians. How can we begin to understand late communism as a distinct era? What\, if anything\, was normal about this period of so-called “normalization”? Paulina Bren’s lecture will focus on the post-1968 experience in the Eastern Bloc\, with an emphasis on media and material consumption\, their influence on everyday life\, and the shaping of a new ‘communist culture’ in the aftermath of the Prague Spring.\n\nPaulina Bren is the author of The Greengrocer and His TV: The Culture of Communism after the 1968 Prague Spring (Cornell UP\, 2010)\, which won the Council for European Studies 2012 Book Prize\, the Austrian Studies Association 2012 Book Prize\, and was shortlisted for the 2011 Vucinich Book Award. In 2013\, it was translated into Czech and published by Academia Press (Prague). Dr. Bren is also the co-editor of Communism Unwrapped: Consumption in Cold War Eastern Europe (Oxford UP\, 2012)\, in addition to having written many articles on the culture of politics and everyday life in Eastern Europe. The recipient of various fellowships\, most recently from the National Endowment for Humanities\, she teaches in the multidisciplinary programs at Vassar College. \n\nPart of the CREES-sponsored series\, Buying and Selling\, States and Markets\, which focuses on various aspects of economies in Russia\, Eastern Europe\, and Eurasia. How did socialist regimes theorize money\, consumption\, wages\, and pricing? How did markets during state socialism actually work\, and what is their legacy in contemporary times? What are the social roles of commodities and economic transactions today?

SUMMARY:Other:Islam\, Buddhism and the Mongols: Debating the Fate of Chinggis Khan's Soul in Medieval Iran
DESCRIPTION:The Life of the Buddha\" in the Compendium of Chronicles (Jami' al-Tawarikh)\, the famed world history (in Persian) authored by Rashid al-Din (d. 1318)\, vizier to the Mongol rulers of Iran (1258-1336)\, is one of the best noted examples of inter-ecumenical exchange and cross-cultural translation in the eastern Islamic World in later the Middle Ages. Scholars have particularly noted the way Rashid al-Din attempted to make the Dharma comprehensible to a Muslim audience by comparing Buddhist perceptions of Heaven and Hell to the Muslim visions of the afterlife and by ingeniously presenting the Buddha as a prophet with a book.\n\nFar less noted\, however\, are Rashid al-Din's extensive writings against the Buddhist dogma of reincarnation. This brief talk examines three treatises in which Rashid al-Din makes the case against the transmigration of souls and in favor of the resurrection of the bodies on the Day of Judgment. I suggest that we should consider Rashid al-Din's \"favorable\" presentation of Buddhism in the \"Life of the Buddha\" and his passionate anti-Buddhist polemics together within the context of the cosmopolitan and highly competitive environment of the Mongol court in Iran\, where Buddhists and Muslims competed over influence\, resources and access to the Mongol rulers by showcasing the ability of their traditions to support the Mongol claims to sacred kingship

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Patient-centered Technologies: Making a Difference in Cancer Care
DESCRIPTION:Continuously funded by NIH since 1998\, Dr. Berry has pioneered in two important areas: patient-centered oncology care and nursing leadership within oncology research. To implement her patient-centered care paradigm\, Dr. Berry formulated an interdisciplinary team and then led that team to successfully design and implement an accessible\, computerized system to assess symptom experiences and quality of life variables. The Electronic Self report Assessment-Cancer (ESRA-C) has been found to increase patient-provider discussions of symptom and quality of life issues plus decrease symptom distress. She has led another large\, multi-disciplinary team to develop\, produce and test the first and only Internet intervention based on personal factors to support treatment decision-making by men with localized prostate cancer. The Personal Patient Profile-Prostate (P3P) has been shown to significantly reduce decisional conflict in men. Recognized by nomination to and election to Fellowship in the American Academy of Nursing\, she has assumed increasing leadership and responsibility for transforming health care. In 2011\, the Oncology Nursing Society honored Dr. Berry with the Annual Distinguished Researcher Award. The Association of Community Cancer Centers named her as the 2012 recipient of their Annual Clinical Researcher Award.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Artist Kent Monkman talks about his latest installation\, Scent of a Beaver\, in the Institute for the Humanities gallery through Feb. 26.\n\nAbout Scent of a Beaver:\n\nBased on the rococo masterpiece The Swing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard\, Scent of a Beaver is a sculptural installation that features the artist Kent Monkman’s alter ego Miss Chief Eagle Testickle dangling on a swing between a French and English general. With Miss Chief dressed in an opulent silk and fur gown\, the work functions as a metaphor for the power relationships between the major players that shaped the social fabric\, political structures\, and economy of North America. True to Monkman’s modus operandi\, Scent of a Beaver takes on white-washed\, colonialist notions of history and overturns them\, employing kitsch as a path toward self-determination and veering away from painful\, misrepresented histories. It is this sort of conversion that is at the crux of Monkman’s powerful work—the transformation from age-old traditional stories which distort and oppress into something a little fantastical\, a bit cathartic\, and ultimately redeeming.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nKent Monkman is well known for his provocative reinterpretations of romantic North American landscapes.  He explores themes of colonization\, sexuality\, loss\, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience—in a variety of mediums including painting\, film and video\, performance\, and installation.

SUMMARY:Other:Author's Forum Presents The Cherokee Rose: A Conversation with Tiya Miles and Martha Jones
DESCRIPTION:Today's book signing and sale courtesy of Common Language Bookstore.\n\nThe Cherokee Rose explores territory reminiscent of the bestselling and beloved works of Alice Walker\, Octavia Butler\, and Louise Erdrich. Now\, Tiya Miles's luminous but highly accessible novel examines a little-known aspect of America’s past—slaveholding by Southern Creeks and Cherokees—and its legacy in the lives of three young women who are drawn to the Georgia plantation where scenes of extreme cruelty and equally extraordinary compassion once played out.\n\nBased on the author's in-depth and award-winning research into archival sources at the Chief Vann House Historic Site in Chatsworth\, Georgia\, and the Moravian mission sponsored there in the early 1800s\, Miles has blended this fascinating history with a contemporary cast of engaging and memorable characters\, including Jinx\, the free-spirited historian exploring her tribe’s complicated racial history\; Ruth\, whose mother sought refuge from a troubled marriage in her beloved garden and the cosmetic empire she built from its bounty\; Cheyenne\, the Southern black debutante seeking to connect with a meaningful personal history\; and\, hovering above them all\, the spirit of long-gone Mary Ann Battis\, a young woman suspected of burning a mission to the ground and then disappearing from tribal records. Together\, the women’s discoveries about the secrets of the Cherokee plantation trace their attempts to connect with the strong spirits of the past and reconcile the conflicts in their own lives.\n\nIn addition to her recognition as a MacArthur recipient\, Tiya Miles has been selected for Ebony Magazine’s Power 100 and The Grio’s 100 lists of African American leaders. Her nonfiction books\, The House on Diamond Hill: A Cherokee Plantation Story (UNC Press\, 2010) and Ties That Bind: The Story of an Afro-Cherokee Family in Slavery and Freedom (University of California Press\, 2005) received numerous awards. She is a professor in American Culture\, History\, Afroamerican & African Studies\, Native American Studies\, and Women’s Studies at the University of Michigan.\n\nMartha S. Jones is a member of the Law School's Affiliated LS&A Faculty and professor of history and associate chair of U-M's Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. She is codirector of the Michigan Law Program in Race\, Law & History. She holds a PhD in history from Columbia University and a JD from the CUNY School of Law. Prior to joining the Michigan faculty\, she was a public interest litigator for the HIV Law Project and MFY Legal Services\, where her work focused on the rights of people with disabilities.\n\nThe Author's Forum is a collaboration between the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, University Library\, & Ann Arbor Book Festival.\n\nAdditional support for this event provided by the departments of Afroamerican and African History\, American Culture\, History\, and Women's Studies.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Film & Discussion Part 1: Foreigners in Their Own Land
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes\, Director Latina/o Studies Program\, Associate Professor of American Culture leads tonight’s screening and discussion of the film Foreigners in their Own Land (1565-1880) begins one hundred years after Columbus' arrival in the Caribbean\, as Spanish Conquistadors and Priests push into North America in search of gold and to spread Catholicism. With the arrival of the British in North America\, the two colonial systems produce contrasting societies that come in conflict as Manifest Destiny pushes the U.S into the Mexican territories of the South West.\n\nThrough the Mexican American War\, the U.S. takes a full half of Mexico's territory by 1848. Over seventy thousand Mexicans are caught in a strange land and many become American citizens.\n\nAs the Gold Rush floods California with settlers\, complex and vital communities are overwhelmed. Mexicans and Mexican Americans are treated as second-class citizens\, facing discrimination and racial violence. Resistance to this injustice appears in New Mexico as Las Gorras Blancas (The White Caps)\, burn Anglo ranches and cut through barbed wire to prevent Anglo encroachment. At the same time\, New Mexicans manage to transform themselves through education\, managing to preserve Hispano culture in New Mexico and their standing in the midst of an era of conquest and dispossession.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dan Bern
DESCRIPTION:Iowa-born\, Santa Monica–based singer-songwriter Dan Bern is a modern-day Lenny Bruce: topical\, intelligent\, and totally unpredictable. Says the Baltimore Sun: \"He's a folky troubadour with a rock-and-roll heart and the all-too-rare skill of combining humor and intelligence.\" Dan tends to alternate between documenting the zeitgeist and writing about the personal concerns with which we all grapple\, and he's overflowing with songs: his full-length albums often alternate with EPs that offer fascinating windows on his soul (his concerts are a good place to pick those up). Dan Bern's songs are direct\, often very amusing\, and always on target musically. He's got a strong surrealistic streak\, a major strand of Dylan's influence\, and a great storyteller's eye. Come by and pick up a copy of Dan's new novel\, \"10\,000 Crappy Songs & Other Tales of Detection\,\" which includes 22 non-crappy songs!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents A Gathering of Friends: Linocut Prints
DESCRIPTION:Laura B. DeLind has been cutting and hand-printing linocuts for over 40 years. She enjoys linoleum as a print medium because it is unpretentious\, has no pre-existing texture\, and lends itself to bold\, spontaneous images. DeLind is fascinated by black and white design and the interactions of positive and negative space. Her prints are inspired by organic shapes\, birds providing a ready-made “excuse” to explore pattern. DeLind’s work has been exhibited regionally and nationally.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art from My Heart: Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Daria White Paik grew up in Seoul\, Korea where she received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1983. In 1988\, she moved to the US where she gained her foundation in ceramics at the University of Alabama. When she works with clay\, she starts with a blank state of mind\, and her work comes from her heart. She feels that creativity cannot be learned\; only the techniques can be taught. When she touches clay\, she forgets time\, seeing the only prerequisite for art as a spark of creativity. Paik now teaches at the Ann Arbor Art Center\, is a student advisor at Washtenaw Community College\, and is a member of the Ann Arbor Potter’s Guild.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Scenes in Fabric
DESCRIPTION:Lenore Crawford uses fabric to express her love of French architecture and flowers. The pieces are inspired by photos she has taken\, and she creates her fiber art with an eye for color and realism using a raw edged fusing technique. Small amounts of fabric paint provide detail and shading. The texture and warmth achieved from the fabric itself lends the work an impressionistic softness. Capturing the beauty of everyday life and her surroundings in fiber is her passion.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Splits & Music: Snowflake Paper Cuttings
DESCRIPTION:This year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. Clark’s exquisite\, hand-cut paper creations highlights work from his book Splits as well as a collection of snowflakes about music. Each of these exquisite designs are intricate works of art\, yet as a group\, they tell stories that encompass much more than the sum of their parts. In addition to their pictorial detail\, the perfect symmetry of snowflake design contributes to the metaphorical meanings. A former U-M physician\, Clark\, a.k.a. Dr. Snowflake\, has been exhibiting his snowflakes at U-M Hospitals since 1987. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday\, January 7 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Before the decline of its industrial landscape\, Lackawanna\, New York was a lively steel city that employed more than half its population at the Bethlehem Steel plant. In this city was a small\, but unique community of immigrants from the country of Yemen. \n\nWhen photographer Milton Rogovin visited the city in 1977\, he was fascinated by the people’s interest in embracing modern-day American experiences while embracing their old-world Yemeni traditions.\n\nNow this unique blend of culture and identity can be experienced at the University of Michigan Detroit Center with the photo exhibition\, “A Yemeni Community: Photographs from the 1970s\,” an exhibition of the Arab American National Museum.\n\nBorn in 1909\, Milton Rogovin was raised during the Great Depression and became politically active as a direct result of his childhood experiences with poverty. He studied optometry at Columbia University and opened a shop in Buffalo\, New York in 1938. He purchased his first camera in 1942 and\,  in 1958\, spawned a lifelong passion for documentary photography  when he collaborated with a music professor to document music at churches. Rogovin began to photograph coal miners from across the world in 1962. These photos were ultimately used in his first and one of his most popular books\, “The Forgotten Ones.”\n\nLocated in Monts Hall\, “A Yemeni Community” runs from January 15 – February 27\, 2016. The gallery is open to the public Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.\, and 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday\, including complimentary parking and admission.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Converging Paths: The Photography of Pawel Figurski
DESCRIPTION:Converging Paths: The Photography of Pawel Figurski explores the invisible boundary between the sacred and profane and the people who pass through those spaces\, leaving one world to enter another. Figurski focuses his gaze on the ways in which his subjects’ relationship to faith are transformed through the act of pilgrimage and through the encounter with sacred spaces. He is particularly interested in the intrusion of the quotidian into the realm of the sacred.\n\nWhile the exhibition deals primarily with religious life in Figurski’s native Poland\, the artist brilliantly captures Eastern Europe’s diverse religious worlds\, tracing a plurality of spiritual paths\, whether in the pilgrimages of Hasidic Jews to Lezajsk\, or those of Orthodox Christians in Romania and Moldova..\n\nReligious life in that part of the world is sociologically interesting and aesthetically arresting.  It is this intersection of the social and aesthetic domains that make Figurski’s photographs so captivating.\n\nPawel Figurski is a graduate of the prestigious Lodz film school. He has shot and directed music videos\, television serials and documentary films\, for which he received several awards\, including an Emmy (2005). For almost a decade (2002-2011)\, he documented Jewish life in Eastern Europe as part of the Archives of Historical and Ethnographic Yiddish Memories at Indiana University. Figurski's photography\, in Converging Paths\, explores the invisible boundary between the sacred and profane and the people who pass through those spaces\, leaving one world to enter another.\n\nPresented in conjunction with the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies and the Copernicus Program in Polish Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition On-View: AGG Lab
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Exhibition On-View: AGG Lab. \n\nExhibition On-View: January 16 – February 21\n\nIdentity—human\, animal and architectural—can no longer be defined by a singular character. It is a complex behavioral hybrid\, in the process of responsive and adaptive change\, a state of Deleuzian “becoming”\, expressing plastic identity through the territorializing of behavioral traits. This differentiated identity becomes an instrument for spatializing innovative lineages\, as it reconstitutes ideas of space and time and reshapes the cultural landscape through morphogenetic means.\n\nThe work scrutinizes the notion of the generic through the process of recombining physical members\, growing new appendages and intensifying the human perception of normality. Regenerative bodies develop through differentiation from singular cells. These differentiated assemblages with multi coded surfaces act as malleable bilateral collectives with a varied capacity for new growth possibilities.\n\nAGGLAB/LABORATORIA. www.agglab.com Agg lab is a San Francisco based design collaborative and interdisciplinary research practice led by Alexandra Neyman and Monica Tiulescu. Agglab is interested in production of generative tectonic languages which diverge from specific typological classification established in singular design fields.\n\nLABORATORIA is a research practice led by Alexandra Neyman focusing on experimental research which is invested in the development and production of an array of affective architectural environments through generative architectural tectonic languages\, both formal and methodological\, that is fluctuating between growth and regeneration through digital and analogue algorithmic techniques of design and fabrication.\n\nIn collaboration with AAU Architecture students:\n\nYi Wang\, Saraswati Sri Lalitadewi Latumahina\, Sami Almidani\, Rapeepong Tanmanee\, Ke Wang\, Jesus Gutierrez\, Si Beck Nam\, Alnofai Amany\, Andrade Anderson\, Andreas Christina\, Arabshahi Alireza\, Baker Ryan\, Chen Chao\, Conrad Nathan\, Duarte Kenia\, Fabelhaft\, Nasira\, Gao\, Yuan\, Jean\, Rodly\, Jiang\, Dinghong\, Liu\, Yaxin\, Liu\, Yumin\, Mead\, Matthew\, Wan\, Jane Gee-Yeng\, Wang\, Ximai\, Zhu\, Jiongyu\, Domingcil Rhonuel\, Kanamori Fernanda\, Ameziane\, Lamiae\, Li Yu-Hsin\, Ma Cheng\, Sathawarintu Chayakorn\, Ela Edjang\, Imelda\, Ghimire\, Verna\, Ingle Dylan\, Mlynar Lyndsay\, Oye Kenta\, Rojas Naomi\, Ruiz Alvaro.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scent of a Beaver: An Installation by Kent Monkman
DESCRIPTION:Based on the rococo masterpiece The Swing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard\, Scent of a Beaver is a sculptural installation that features the artist Kent Monkman’s alter ego Miss Chief Eagle Testickle dangling on a swing between a French and English general. With Miss Chief dressed in an opulent silk and fur gown\, the work functions as a metaphor for the power relationships between the major players that shaped the social fabric\, political structures\, and economy of North America. True to Monkman’s modus operandi\, Scent of a Beaver takes on white-washed\, colonialist notions of history and overturns them\, employing kitsch as a path toward self-determination and veering away from painful\, misrepresented histories. It is this sort of conversion that is at the crux of Monkman’s powerful work—the transformation from age-old traditional stories which distort and oppress into something a little fantastical\, a bit cathartic\, and ultimately redeeming.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nKent Monkman is well known for his provocative reinterpretations of romantic North American landscapes.  He explores themes of colonization\, sexuality\, loss\, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience—in a variety of mediums including painting\, film and video\, performance\, and installation.\n\nMonkman’s glamorous diva alter-ego Miss Chief appears in much of his work as an agent provocateur\, trickster\, and supernatural being who reverses the colonial gaze\, upending received notions of history and indigenous people.  With Miss Chief at center stage\, Monkman has created memorable site-specific performances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection\, the Royal Ontario Museum\, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian\, Compton Verney\, and most recently at the Denver Art Museum. His award-winning short film and video works have been screened at various national and international festivals\, including the 2007 and 2008 Berlinale\, and the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:THE VIOLENCE OF MASS INCARCERATION: REFORM AND A “NEW NORMAL”?
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. is experiencing what observers call mass incarceration\, hyper-incarceration and “a plague of prisons” because it has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Many criminologists believe prison currently causes more crime than it reduces. With Republicans and Democrats crowing over the need for reform\, significant change may seem like a foregone conclusion. Is it? How far would reforms really go? What important ideas and potential solutions are not being discussed?\n\nDr. Paul Leighton is Professor of Criminology at Eastern Michigan University. He is a co-author of \"The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison\"\, and is working on the eleventh edition of that book. He is also the co-author of \"Punishment for Sale: Big Business\, 
Private Prisons and The Incarceration Binge.\" Leighton is also President of the Board of SafeHouse.\n\nThis is the third in a six-lecture series. The subject is \"Violence: Its Roots and Reasons.\" The next lecture will be January 28 entitled \"ISIS in the  Middle East: 100 Years in the Making.\"\n\nhttp://www.olli-umich.org/programs_activities/lectures/3rd_Lecture_Series.pdf

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Soviet Constructivist Posters
DESCRIPTION:During the 1920s the Soviet Union emerged on the world stage. The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n	UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n	Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n	Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s
DESCRIPTION:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s\, the first major museum survey to examine the art of this pivotal decade in its historical context\, showcases over 64 works by 46 artists born or practicing in the United States. The exhibition\, whose title references the 1992 Nirvana song (considered by many an anthem for the decade)\, focuses on three principal themes—debates over “identity politics\,” the digital revolution\, and globalization—and explores a range of geopolitical milestones and social issues through the perspective of artists working at that time. The exhibition also illustrates the diverse ways in which the developments of the 1990s redefined contemporary approaches to artistic practice and\, in the words of exhibition curator Alexandra Schwartz\, “writes a history of the ’90s through the lens of the visual arts.”\n\nCome as You Are looks at the dramatic changes in the art world itself\, including the ongoing culture wars\; issues of artistic freedom and censorship\; the impact of new media and the emergence of video\, sound\, and digital art\; the expansion of the global art market\; and the explosion of art fairs and biennials. It also investigates the art world’s increasing heterogeneity as artists of color\, women artists\, and LGBT artists attained increased prominence. Artists include Doug Aitken\, Felix Gonzalez-Torres\, Glenn Ligon\, Julie Mehretu\, Prema Murthy\, Shirin Neshat\, Catherine Opie\, Gabriel Orozco\, Diana Thater\, Rirkrit Tiravanija\, and Kara Walker in a wide range of works including installations\, paintings\, sculptures\, drawings\, prints\, photography\, video\, and digital art.\n\nCome as You Are: Art of the 1990s is organized by the Montclair Art Museum and curated by Alexandra Schwartz\, curator of contemporary art\, with Kimberly Siino\, curatorial assistant. This exhibition is made possible with generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support is provided by Samantha and Ross Partrich\, Andrea and Joel Brown\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, Residential College\, and Department of American Culture.

Crossing lines of racial\, ethnic\, and cultural acceptability by their very existence\, multiracial comedians reveal that meanings of race vary across ethnic combination\, gender\, place\, and time.\n\nThe film features the experiences\, perspectives\, and performances of American comedians of more than one racial ancestry. The timeliness of multiracial comedians' roles as crossracial mediators is underscored as they provide insight into controversies over how comedians express race (i.e.\, Michael Richards' use of the N-word\, Rosie O'Donnell's slurs)\, and other debated meanings of race in an increasingly diverse society. Exploring these questions exposes the very nature of where pain and laughter come from in a racially divided world.\n\nThis is one of a year-long series of events that explore what it means to be multiracial in a monoracially conceived world.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Speaker Series with Dr. Tim James
DESCRIPTION:Here I present recent research in our lab characterizing evolution in three types of fungal parasites: obligate specialist parasites highly adapted to their hosts\, generalist parasites which choose a parasitic lifestyle but maintain saprotrophic abilities\, and opportunistic parasites which appear to evolve from selection on diverse saprotrophic ability. First\, I describe the phylogeny of a novel group of obligate endoparasites\, the Cryptomycota which places a parasitic root on the fungal tree of life.  Then I describe our population genetic work on the amphibian killing chytrid\, where population genetics identifies a potent killer strain of unknown geographic origin. Finally\, I will touch on experimental approaches to characterize the genetics of virulence by forcing brewers yeast to behave pathogenically.  All fungi have the capacity to be killers\, because they digest the world around them.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"Longing to Stay or Go? East-West Migration and the Making of the 'Free World'\"
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in the nineteenth century millions of East Europeans left home. Their departures and returns reflected intense longings as well as bitter disappointments: the desire for economic security or prosperity\; dreams of political freedom\; longing to be reunited with family members (or to escape them)\; yearning for the security and familiarity of home. For states as well\, managing emigration came to be seen as a tool for realizing diverse visions of the future. Attempts to control mass migration gave rise to new forms of border control\, humanitarian activism\, social protection\, colonial fantasies\, and ethnic cleansing. And while many migrants insisted that they were leaving home out of longing for freedom and prosperity\, others claimed that emigration led only to new forms of slavery and exploitation. The movement of people from east to west ultimately shaped competing definitions of freedom itself--one linked to individual geographic and social mobility and another centered on social solidarity and the freedom to stay home.\n\nTara Zahra is Professor of East European History at the University of Chicago. She received her PhD from the University of Michigan’s History Department in 2005. Her research and teaching focus on the transnational and comparative history of modern Europe\, migration\, childhood and the family\, nationalism\, and European international history. Zahra is also co-chair of the Pozen Center for Human Rights and a member of the Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Chicago. She has recently completed a book about emigration from East Central Europe to the west from the 1880s to the present\, entitled The Great Departure: Mass Migration from Eastern Europe and the Making of the Free World\, which will be published by Norton in Spring 2016. She is also the author of Kidnapped Souls: National Indifference and the Battle for Children in the Bohemian Lands\, 1900-1948 (Cornell\, 2008) and The Lost Children: Reconstructing Europe’s Families after World War II (Harvard\, 2011).\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg and with the support of the Center for Russian\, East European and Eurasian Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Michigan Archaeological Society Lecture: Weaning age in late Pleistocene woolly mammoths supports hunting-induced extinction
DESCRIPTION:Did hunting cause the extinction of woolly mammoths or did populations fail as a result of vegetational changes at the end of the Pleistocene? Hunting pressure usually results in faster life histories\, but nutritional deficiency causes life processes to slow down. Evidence from tusk growth records suggest that Siberian woolly mammoths were weaning earlier at the end of the Pleistocene than during the last glacial maximum. This is consistent with hunting as the cause of their extinction.
