SUMMARY:Other:Harnessing the Wind to Pump Water: Elementary School Outreach via GradSWE's SWEEET
DESCRIPTION:Join the GradSWE outreach team in this semester's SWEEET (Society of Women Engineers Elementary Engineering Topics). Volunteers will facilitate weekly hands-on sessions to build a wind-powered water pump over a course of 5-8 weeks. These one-hour sessions will begin in February at two local elementary schools.Please use the Doodle link to sign up and indicate all days/times that you are available. Doodle: http://doodle.com/poll/kpg7qin4fd3dwvd7 We are using this Doodle to determine which DAY of the week\, and which TIME to schedule SWEET. Use this as an indicator of the DAY of the week\, not the DATE. SWEET is a weekly recurring program for 5-8 weeks. For example\, if Monday 9-10am is most popular\, volunteers will go to the school every Monday 9-10am for a few weeks. Substitute teachers will be available if you can't make it to one of your assigned weeks.

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:Exhibition On View: Exquisite Corb
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Exquisite Corb\". \n\nThis exhibition explores an undocumented private house\, the Menuserie Sylva\, in the French town of St. Dié des Vosges. This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience. Organized by Anya Sirota and Akoaki.\n\nMatthieu Gafsou (CH\, 1981) lives and works in Lausanne\, Switzerland. After completing a master of arts in philosophy\, literature and cinema at the Université de Lausanne\, he studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey. Since 2006\, Gafsou has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions\, and published a series of photographic works\, including: Ce rêve étrange : Le Corbusier à Firminy\, Surfaces\, and Sacré. In 2009 Gafsou was awarded the prestigious “Prix de la fondation HSBC pour la photographie” and subsequently was invited to contribute to the Aperture Foundation's 2010 reGeneration2 exhibition. In 2014\, Lausanne’s influential Musée de l'Elysée hosted Gafsou’s solo show titled Only God Can Judge Me. In addition to his artistic practice\, Gafsou is on faculty at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL).\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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero:  The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii - February 19-May 15\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:Organized in cooperation with the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii and the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas\, this international traveling exhibition explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of some of ancient Rome’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens\, who vacationed along the Bay of Naples. Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

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. 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.

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: Exquisite Corb
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Exquisite Corb\". \n\nThis exhibition explores an undocumented private house\, the Menuserie Sylva\, in the French town of St. Dié des Vosges. This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience. Organized by Anya Sirota and Akoaki.\n\nMatthieu Gafsou (CH\, 1981) lives and works in Lausanne\, Switzerland. After completing a master of arts in philosophy\, literature and cinema at the Université de Lausanne\, he studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey. Since 2006\, Gafsou has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions\, and published a series of photographic works\, including: Ce rêve étrange : Le Corbusier à Firminy\, Surfaces\, and Sacré. In 2009 Gafsou was awarded the prestigious “Prix de la fondation HSBC pour la photographie” and subsequently was invited to contribute to the Aperture Foundation's 2010 reGeneration2 exhibition. In 2014\, Lausanne’s influential Musée de l'Elysée hosted Gafsou’s solo show titled Only God Can Judge Me. In addition to his artistic practice\, Gafsou is on faculty at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL).\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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero:  The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii - February 19-May 15\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:Organized in cooperation with the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii and the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas\, this international traveling exhibition explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of some of ancient Rome’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens\, who vacationed along the Bay of Naples. Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.

SUMMARY:Performance:David Mayfield
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve seen David Mayfield perform with The Avett Brothers\, Mumford & Sons\, or Jessica Lea Mayfield\, or at Bonnaroo (or at The Ark)—or as MC at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival—you’ve caught the charisma\, the heart\, and the comedy\, and you're likely ready for more. With eclectic\, cinematic songs that stir up images of the old West and urban cityscapes\, the singer-songwriter-bandleader's latest release\, \"Good Man Down\,\" takes chances musically and delves into adventurous production while still tapping into bluegrass roots. David's live shows are lively and sometimes comical. He grew up playing bass and touring with his family’s bluegrass band. As a teenager he established himself as a hot picker\, collecting national awards for his dexterity on guitar and mandolin. Conscious of being not just a musician\, but an entertainer—something his father instilled in him in the family band—he certainly makes an impression live. But it’s the strength of his songwriting and musicianship\, combined with that charm and personality\, that keep audiences coming back again and again.

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.

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.

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:Exhibition On View: Exquisite Corb
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Exquisite Corb\". \n\nThis exhibition explores an undocumented private house\, the Menuserie Sylva\, in the French town of St. Dié des Vosges. This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience. Organized by Anya Sirota and Akoaki.\n\nMatthieu Gafsou (CH\, 1981) lives and works in Lausanne\, Switzerland. After completing a master of arts in philosophy\, literature and cinema at the Université de Lausanne\, he studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey. Since 2006\, Gafsou has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions\, and published a series of photographic works\, including: Ce rêve étrange : Le Corbusier à Firminy\, Surfaces\, and Sacré. In 2009 Gafsou was awarded the prestigious “Prix de la fondation HSBC pour la photographie” and subsequently was invited to contribute to the Aperture Foundation's 2010 reGeneration2 exhibition. In 2014\, Lausanne’s influential Musée de l'Elysée hosted Gafsou’s solo show titled Only God Can Judge Me. In addition to his artistic practice\, Gafsou is on faculty at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL).\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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero:  The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii - February 19-May 15\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:Organized in cooperation with the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii and the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas\, this international traveling exhibition explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of some of ancient Rome’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens\, who vacationed along the Bay of Naples. Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.

SUMMARY:Performance:David Ramirez
DESCRIPTION:The life of the traveling songwriter certainly seems romantic. But as Austinite David Ramirez notched mile number 260\,000 traveled in his 2006 Kia Rio\, the novelty began to wear off. \"I've learned a lot from being alone and isolated\,\" says David\, who until recently toured completely by himself\, without a band\, manager or anyone else for company. \"Yes\, it's romantic in a way. But it has also been kind of rough on my head and my heart. After a while it made it difficult to connect with people on a personal level when I got home.\" It's taken three years since that realization\, but with his new album\, \"Fables\,\" David shows personal growth both as a musician and as a man. That newfound maturity and clarity translated into a new approach in the studio as David traveled to Seattle to work with friend and producer Noah Gundersen\, who produced the album. \"Fables\" is a sparse\, poignant set of songs crafted around David's starkly beautiful baritone\, which The New York Times once  described as full of \"haggard loneliness.\" Songwriter Lucette\, who has toured with Sturgill Simpson and Joe Ely\, is tonight's special guest.

SUMMARY:Other:Harnessing the Wind to Pump Water: Elementary School Outreach via GradSWE's SWEEET
DESCRIPTION:Join the GradSWE outreach team in this semester's SWEEET (Society of Women Engineers Elementary Engineering Topics). Volunteers will facilitate weekly hands-on sessions to build a wind-powered water pump over a course of 5-8 weeks. These one-hour sessions will begin in February at two local elementary schools.Please use the Doodle link to sign up and indicate all days/times that you are available. Doodle: http://doodle.com/poll/kpg7qin4fd3dwvd7 We are using this Doodle to determine which DAY of the week\, and which TIME to schedule SWEET. Use this as an indicator of the DAY of the week\, not the DATE. SWEET is a weekly recurring program for 5-8 weeks. For example\, if Monday 9-10am is most popular\, volunteers will go to the school every Monday 9-10am for a few weeks. Substitute teachers will be available if you can't make it to one of your assigned weeks.

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. 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:A Wall in Process
DESCRIPTION:This wall-in-process represents a snapshot into the year long collaborative project Humanize the Numbers at the University of Michigan. Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition On View: Exquisite Corb
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Exquisite Corb\". \n\nThis exhibition explores an undocumented private house\, the Menuserie Sylva\, in the French town of St. Dié des Vosges. This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience. Organized by Anya Sirota and Akoaki.\n\nMatthieu Gafsou (CH\, 1981) lives and works in Lausanne\, Switzerland. After completing a master of arts in philosophy\, literature and cinema at the Université de Lausanne\, he studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey. Since 2006\, Gafsou has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions\, and published a series of photographic works\, including: Ce rêve étrange : Le Corbusier à Firminy\, Surfaces\, and Sacré. In 2009 Gafsou was awarded the prestigious “Prix de la fondation HSBC pour la photographie” and subsequently was invited to contribute to the Aperture Foundation's 2010 reGeneration2 exhibition. In 2014\, Lausanne’s influential Musée de l'Elysée hosted Gafsou’s solo show titled Only God Can Judge Me. In addition to his artistic practice\, Gafsou is on faculty at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL).\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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Take Back the Archive: Advocacy by Design
DESCRIPTION:Purdom Lindblad\, head of graduate programs in the Scholars’ Lab at the University of Virginia Library\, gives a talk centered on the Take Back the Archive project. She says\,\n\n\"Starting with the premise that\, for making to matter in the humanities\, we must focus making in ways that encourage attention to—and advocacy for—the humane. Regardless of whether the act of making is one of production\, praxis\, theory\, or a combination of the three\, thoughtful making in the humanities should forefront reflection on human experiences and impacts. Centered on the Take Back the Archive project\, this talk will explore what it means to make things in humane\, empathetic ways—and how can we create spaces and foster relationships to focus on humane\, empathetic making in the humanities?\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Queering Like a State: Naturalization\, Race\, and Colonial Desire
DESCRIPTION:This talk traces a genealogy of a familiar state practice – the naturalization ceremony - through an unexpected site: the Indian reservation. Prof. Somerville explores a ritual that is not typically considered part of U.S. naturalization history\, but was carried out by federal officials in the early twentieth century to confer citizenship on American Indians under the Dawes Act. Drawing on archival materials\, she contextualizes these ceremonies within the longer history of U.S. policies and practices for producing new citizens. In stark and startling terms\, these materials demonstrate the federal state’s fantasy that naturalization could dramatize and install settler norms of race\, sexuality\, and gender among American Indians. But\, in practice\, other things could happen – and often did.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral\, and Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:We consider the dynamic relationship between trader emotions and asset market behavior. We create experimental asset markets with the structure first studied by Smith\, Suchanek and Williams (1988)\, which is known to generate price bubbles and crashes. To track traders’ emotions in real time\, we analyze participants' facial expressions with facereading software before and while the market is operating. We find that a positive emotional state correlates with purchases and overpricing. Fear correlates with low prices\, price decreases\, and selling. The experiment confirms the intuition that emotions and market dynamics are closely related.​

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Positioning Yourself for a Career Change Part 1:
DESCRIPTION:This program is the first in a two-part workshop addressing job and career transition. Participants will explore a full trajectory from the initial “I want to make a change\,” through identifying potential paths\, and on to the tangible pieces of applying for positions.\n\nProgram Audience:\n•	Experienced professionals transitioning into different fields\n•	Students whose current focus and goals are different than their previous job experience and/or degree might suggest\n•	Employees seeking a different role in their current industry\n•	Anyone else considering “shaking things up” in the job-related sphere\n\nThe first session will focus on examining and defining your professional trajectory. Participants will explore their goals\, skills\, and interests and connect the dots between knowledge\, experience\, and goals. We will work to identify key transferable skills to be capitalized upon in the job search process. Key questions will include:\n•	I know I want a change\, but now what?\n•	Who am I as a professional? What is important to me in the world of work?\n•	What other life roles am I balancing\, and how do they intersect with my career goals?\n•	Where have I been\, where do I want to go\, and how can I get there?\n•	What resources exist within myself and my environment for helping me plan this path?\n\nRegister here:  http://www.cew.umich.edu/progevents/positioning-yourself-career-change-part-1-thinking-about-your-professional-identity/20160

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Finance
DESCRIPTION:This paper provides the first in-depth study of the organization of knowledge in multi-national firms. The paper develops a theoretical model that studies how firms optimally split knowledge between their headquarters and their production plants if communication costs impede the access of production plants to headquarter knowledge. The paper assumes that the foreign plants of multinational firms face higher communication costs with headquarters than their domestic plants\, and shows that multinational firms therefore systematically assign more knowledge to both their foreign and domestic plants than non-multinationals. This helps explain why multinational firms pay higher wages to their production workers than non-multinational firms\, and why their sales and their investment probability decrease across space. Empirical evidence from novel data on corporate transferees confirms the model predictions for multinationals’ organization of knowledge. Comprehensive data on German multinational firms corroborate the model implications in relation to the geography of multinationals’ sales and investments.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Near Eastern Studies Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Arab writers have often invoked the elusive legacy of the Nahda at moments of crisis as well as hope\, most recently amid the current wave of Arab uprisings. The Arabic revival and reform period of the long nineteenth century which Albert Hourani famously conceived as the liberal age and periodized from 1798-1939\, has\, indeed\, functioned as the foundational process of Arab modernity as well as a bedrock of cultural self-reflection. Historically\, the Nahda – literally “rising up\,” but usually glossed as “renaissance” or “awakening” – was not a unified process or stable actor-category\; nor did it have a single\, incontestable moment of inception. In light of a growing interest in the Nahda in English-language scholarship between September 2001 and the uprisings of 2011\, this talk will offer some reflections on the place of the Nahda in Arab modernity discourses.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Nam Center Special Screening | \"Songs from the North\" with Director Soon-Mi Yoo
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Soon-Mi Yoo\, Assistant Professor of Film/Video\, Massachusetts College of Arts\n\n2014  |  72 minutes  |  Directed by Soon-Mi Yoo\n\nJoin us for a screening of award-winning documentary ‘Songs from the North’ followed by a Q&A session with acclaimed Director and Assistant Professor of Film/Video at Massachusetts College of Arts Soon-Mi Yoo. \n\nSONGS FROM THE NORTH is an essay film which looks differently at the enigma of North Korea\, a country typically seen only through the distorted lens of jingoistic propaganda and derisive satire. Interweaving footage from her three visits to North Korea\, together with songs\, spectacle\, popular cinema and archival footage\, SONGS FROM THE NORTH tries to understand\, on their own terms\, the psychology and popular imaginary of the North Korean people and the political ideology of absolute love which continues to drive the nation towards its uncertain future. To look closely and objectively at North Korea\, a country that challenges our most fundamental assumptions about the human condition\, is ultimately to question the meaning of freedom\, love and patriotism.\n\nCheck out this review on Indiewire. http://www.indiewire.com/article/locarno-review-north-korean-history-takes-on-personal-dimension-in-songs-from-the-north-20140810\n\nAnd view the trailer here: https://youtu.be/Lv9K9ywqOlc\n\nFree  |  Open to the public  |  In English and Korean with English subtitles

SUMMARY:Performance:Alan Kelly Gang
DESCRIPTION:Fronted by Ireland’s piano accordion maestro\, described by New York’s Irish Voice as “in league with the best piano accordionists in the world\,” and with three of Ireland’s finest musicians in tow\, The Alan Kelly Gang have been taking their audiences by storm. Performing powerful instrumentals and beautifully arranged songs\, skillfully executed and soulfully delivered\, their live performances have been described by Timber and Steel as “a true collective of musicians… their mastery of their respective instruments—sublime.\" Ireland is just the starting point for the Alan Kelly Gang as they catapult themselves and their audiences through the repertoire of the Celts\, taking influence from regions including Ireland\, Brittany\, Asturias and America and combining these with original compositions that stem from a deep traditional understanding. Here\, innovation meets sensitivity as the four musicians push the conventional boundaries of traditional music yet remain sympathetic to its past\, present and future\, infecting the listener with a sense of musical delight—magical\, joyous and uplifting!

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 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.

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:A Wall in Process
DESCRIPTION:This wall-in-process represents a snapshot into the year long collaborative project Humanize the Numbers at the University of Michigan. Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition On View: Exquisite Corb
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Exquisite Corb\". \n\nThis exhibition explores an undocumented private house\, the Menuserie Sylva\, in the French town of St. Dié des Vosges. This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience. Organized by Anya Sirota and Akoaki.\n\nMatthieu Gafsou (CH\, 1981) lives and works in Lausanne\, Switzerland. After completing a master of arts in philosophy\, literature and cinema at the Université de Lausanne\, he studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey. Since 2006\, Gafsou has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions\, and published a series of photographic works\, including: Ce rêve étrange : Le Corbusier à Firminy\, Surfaces\, and Sacré. In 2009 Gafsou was awarded the prestigious “Prix de la fondation HSBC pour la photographie” and subsequently was invited to contribute to the Aperture Foundation's 2010 reGeneration2 exhibition. In 2014\, Lausanne’s influential Musée de l'Elysée hosted Gafsou’s solo show titled Only God Can Judge Me. In addition to his artistic practice\, Gafsou is on faculty at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL).\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:Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero:  The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii - February 19-May 15\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:Organized in cooperation with the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii and the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas\, this international traveling exhibition explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of some of ancient Rome’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens\, who vacationed along the Bay of Naples. Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:How Memory Speaks
DESCRIPTION:We will investigate \"autobiographical\" memory\, our link to generations past and indeed to our own past. Is this kind of memory accurate? How does it work? What does it mean? Above all\, what is its power? The course is a distillation of John Kotre's book White Gloves (purchase would be helpful but not necessary). Topics include the perfect memory\, memory's truth\, the autobiographical memory system\, memory in the young\, memory in the mature\, and memory inspirited. Mr. Kotre is a retired \"narrative\" psychologist from UM-Dearborn and creator of the award-winning PBS series Seasons of Life. This class for adults 50+ meets Tuesdays through April 5th.\nhttps://olli-umich.org/olli/index.php/member/ctlg/viewEventDetails/739

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:EVENT CANCELLED\n\nSpeaker: Raoul Birnbaum\, Professor of Buddhist Studies\, University of California\, Santa Cruz\n\nIn human social life\, in whatever domain of activity\, the ability to say no may be rare\, yet for some it is fundamental to survival. And “no” to one thing of course usually implies “yes” to something else. This talk considers the pivotal role of refusal in the lives of two very fascinating Buddhist figures in Chinese cultural history: the seventeenth-century Chan master and painter Kuncan \, and the multi-talented twentieth-century Vinaya master and pure land practitioner Hongyi . Would there be a “Kuncan” or a “Hongyi\,” these two exceptional figures still remembered today\, had they not made use of the power of “no”?\n\nRaoul Birnbaum is Professor of Buddhist Studies at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, where he also holds both the Rebele Endowed Chair in History of Art & Visual Culture and the Gary Lick Memorial Chair at Cowell College (2015-2018). His early scholarship focused on Buddhist “deity”cults – the buddhas\, bodhisattvas\, and guardian figures – in Chinese Buddhist worlds\, and also the great mountain pilgrimage centers that have defined territorial flows in Buddhist China. His present on-going research projects focus on major Buddhist figures of the Republican period\, especially Hongyi\, and their late seventeenth-century predecessors.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Lecture: Aztlán Unprotected: Gil Cuadros’s City of God and the Aftermath of HIV/AIDS
DESCRIPTION:Among U.S. Latino men who have sex with men\, HIV/AIDS remains an urgent health concern. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\, Latinas/os accounted for more than one-fifth of all new HIV infections in 2010 despite representing only 16% of the U.S. population\; most resulted from male-to-male sexual contact. The gravity of these numbers is compounded by the fact that in 2012\, after the passage of the Affordable Care Act\, nearly one-third of all Latinas/os under 65 lacked health insurance. Despite these statistics\, the primary story about HIV/AIDS now told in the United States is what sociologist Claire Laurier Decoteau calls the aftermath narrative. In response\, this talk examines what the gay Chicano writer Gil Cuadros\, whose book City of God depicts queer and Chicana/o communities living with HIV/AIDS in Los Angeles during the late 1980s and early 1990s\, teaches us in the era of the so-called aftermath. Cuadros offers contemporary readers a fierce critique of the political communities – including those constructed by Chicano nationalism and white gay homonormativity – that leave queer Latinos with HIV/AIDS unprotected. Challenging health care inequities and interrogating dominant understandings of “healthy” sexuality\, the work of Gil Cuadros remains profoundly relevant at a time when comprehensive health care access for young\, queer Latino men remains tenuous.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nJulie Avril Minich is assistant professor of English and Mexican American & Latina/o Studies at the University of Texas at Austin\, where she teaches courses in Latina/o studies\, disability studies\, and feminist/LGBT studies. Minich is the author of Accessible Citizenships: Disability\, Nation\, and the Cultural Politics of Greater Mexico (Temple University Press\, 2014)\, which won the 2013-2014 MLA Prize in Latina and Latino and Chicana and Chicano Literary and Cultural Studies. Her articles have appeared or are forthcoming in GLQ\, Modern Fiction Studies\, MELUS\, and the Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies. She is currently working on a new book about Latina/o literature\, compulsory able-bodiedness\, and racialized health disparities\, tentatively titled Enforceable Care: Health\, Justice\, and Latina/o Expressive Culture.\n\nOrganized by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, co-sponsored by Border Collective Workshop\, Latina/o Studies\, Initiative on Disability Studies.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic History
DESCRIPTION:The positive correlation of mortality risk with early and mid-life BMI is well-documented for modern populations but less well known for earlier cohorts when average BMI was lower and medical knowledge more limited. Recent scholarship has called into question the assumption that the mortality risk of being overweight is unchanged historically. We use two large samples of New Zealand men who survived World War I or World War II\, and trace nearly 80% to death records. We find no evidence of higher mortality risk for men with low BMI\, but in both cohorts there was a significantly greater risk of early mortality for men with a BMI over 27 at enlistment. However\, the magnitude of the increased risk from being overweight halved between the two cohorts. Thus our study contributes new evidence that twentieth century improvements in nutrition and medicine allowed people to live longer at high body masses.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Moving from Career Success to Retirement Success
DESCRIPTION:For those anticipating retirement in the next 24 months\, this six-session group on preparing for a satisfying retirement will combine exploration of relevant topics with creative expression and supportive discussion. The focus of this group will be on the transition of retirement and the challenges that come with it -- from questions like \"How will I define myself?\" to “How will I establish priorities and spend my time?”\n\nThis series will help you plan for the non-financial aspects of retirement\, such as redefining who you are\, revisiting what is most important to you\, exploring new interests and opportunities\, and maintaining social connections. You will also learn about what researchers find makes for a fulfilling retirement. \n\nThis program is open to all U-M personnel (staff\, faculty\, and students) and to the general public.\n\nYou must register for the entire series\, as each session is sequenced to provide an optimal experience. The registration fee of $150 covers all six sessions.\nhttp://www.cew.umich.edu/progevents/moving-career-success-retirement-success/20160113

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap Screening
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate International Women's Day with Women Who Launch and the University of Michigan Center for Entrepreneurship! We will be screening CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap. After the film\, we will have refreshments and networking to discuss how to engage more women in tech in our community.\n\nFilm synopsis: Tech jobs are growing three times faster than our colleges are producing computer science graduates. By 2020\, there will be one million unfilled software engineering jobs in the USA. Through compelling interviews\, artistic animation and clever flashpoints in popular culture\, CODE documentary examines the reasons why more girls and people of color are not seeking opportunities in computer science and explores how cultural mindsets\, stereotypes\, educational hurdles and sexism all play roles in this national crisis. Expert voices from the worlds of tech\, psychology\, science\, and education are intercut with inspiring stories of women who are engaged in the fight to challenge complacency in the tech industry and have their voices heard. CODE aims to inspire change in mindsets\, in the educational system\, in startup culture and in the way women see themselves in the field of coding.

SUMMARY:Performance:Sideline
DESCRIPTION:Sideline is a powerful group of seasoned bluegrass pros that has been getting busier and busier since this \"side project\" became a main gig for its members. Sideline consists of Steve Dilling (banjo)\, Skip Cherryholmes (guitar)\, Jason Moore (bass)\, Brian Aldridge (mandolin)\, and Nathan Aldridge (fiddle). As the name suggests\, Sideline intended to be a sometime band\, but the success of their debut album made Sideline a main line. Sideline captures much of what was great about bluegrass in the 1980s and early 1990s. Serving up what was contemporary bluegrass thirty years ago. they sound traditional in 2015. Sideline's driving bluegrass with killer harmonies and propulsive rhythm\, well-chosen blend of new and old material\, and especially the focus being an equal ensemble takes the listener right back in time to when these guys were jamming in the campground.

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.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Causal Inference in Education Research Seminar (CIERS)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nSchool choice can potentially serve as a strategy for improving the outcomes of low-income students. But for school choice to be effective\, low-income students and their families need the resources\, information\, and supports to select high-performing high schools. Even when students have information about school quality\, they may not use it effectively and may not know how to improve their chances of getting into selective high schools. These issues are especially important in New York City\, home to the nation’s largest high school choice program. This seminar will explore these issues.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Wall in Process
DESCRIPTION:This wall-in-process represents a snapshot into the year long collaborative project Humanize the Numbers at the University of Michigan. Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition On View: Exquisite Corb
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Exquisite Corb\". \n\nThis exhibition explores an undocumented private house\, the Menuserie Sylva\, in the French town of St. Dié des Vosges. This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience. Organized by Anya Sirota and Akoaki.\n\nMatthieu Gafsou (CH\, 1981) lives and works in Lausanne\, Switzerland. After completing a master of arts in philosophy\, literature and cinema at the Université de Lausanne\, he studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey. Since 2006\, Gafsou has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions\, and published a series of photographic works\, including: Ce rêve étrange : Le Corbusier à Firminy\, Surfaces\, and Sacré. In 2009 Gafsou was awarded the prestigious “Prix de la fondation HSBC pour la photographie” and subsequently was invited to contribute to the Aperture Foundation's 2010 reGeneration2 exhibition. In 2014\, Lausanne’s influential Musée de l'Elysée hosted Gafsou’s solo show titled Only God Can Judge Me. In addition to his artistic practice\, Gafsou is on faculty at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL).\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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero:  The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii - February 19-May 15\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:Organized in cooperation with the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii and the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas\, this international traveling exhibition explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of some of ancient Rome’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens\, who vacationed along the Bay of Naples. Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Depression on College Campuses Conference
DESCRIPTION:Social support and interpersonal relationships are important for both mental and physical health. Despite impressions that today’s college students are hyper-engaged with the world around them\, many are actually under-connected to the people and resources that could be most beneficial to their overall well-being. According to a recent study\, college freshmen are spending less time with friends than ever. In addition\, for students struggling with mental health concerns\, their symptoms can make it difficult to start new relationships\, or to get the most out of existing relationships – be it with peers\, romantic partners\, family members\, professors\, campus administrators\, or clinicians.\n\nJoin us for the 14th Annual Depression on College Campuses Conference to learn about new research findings\, model programs\, and innovative strategies to encourage the formation of positive interpersonal relationships which promote student mental health.\n\nThe 2-day conference will feature a choice of intensive three-hour workshops in addition to keynote presentations\, panel discussions\, and concurrent sessions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sahie Kang\, Professor and Director\, The School of Korean\, Middlebury College\n\nThis talk will be Co-sponsored by the U-M Language Resource Center\, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and the Korean Language Program.\n\nAssessment is a critical component of curriculum design.  Yet\, educators often put the priority on the curriculum first\, and then set the assessment standards after the main elements of curriculum are established.  However\, in order to reach the clear learning outcomes at the end of a course\, setting standards for the assessment should lead any curriculum development.  This is what “Backward Design” has been emphasizing for the last decade.\n\nBackward Design is a process that focuses on assessment first and instructional activities last.  It shifts teacher perspectives. Traditional curriculum design often begins with really interesting materials or activities we want to teach or are required to cover. We then design a curriculum\, often on the go and then decide on some type of assessment at the end.  Backward Design forces teachers to look at the big picture with the end goals in mind.  In backward planning teachers set the vision or the essential understanding of their curriculum or unit\, decide how students will provide evidence of their learning\, and finally design instructional activities to help students learn what is needed to be successful.\n\nSahie Kang is the inaugural Director of the School of Korean\, Middlebury College and Professor Emeritus at Defense Language Institute. She holds a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Florida. She has worked in the field of Language and Linguistics for over 30 years and has been at DLI for 23.5 years. Dr. Kang has received several official commendations and awards for her work at DLI including Instructor of the Year in 1993 and received a National Order of Cultural Merit from the Korean government in 2010.  She has also taught Linguistics and Korean at Middlebury Institute of International Studies and Ewha Women’s University as a visiting professor.\n\nWith her research interests in socio-linguistics and language and culture education\, she has given numerous presentations and published articles dealing with them. Outside her institution\, she has been the Master ACTFL OPI trainer/tester since 2002\, the President of American Association of Teachers of Korean for 2015-2018\, and a founding Chair of Korean Special Interest Group at the American Council on Teachers of Foreign Languages in (2006-2009\; 2012-2015).

DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Reception to follow.\nThis event will be live webstreamed. Please visit fordschool.umich.edu on the day of the event for viewing access.\n\nJoin the conversation on Twitter: #policytalks\n\nFrom the speaker's bio:\n\nSister Simone Campbell has served as Executive Director of NETWORK since 2004. She is a religious leader\, attorney and poet with extensive experience in public policy and advocacy for systemic change. In Washington\, she lobbies on issues of peace-building\, immigration reform\, healthcare and economic justice. Around the country\, she is a noted speaker and educator on these public policy issues. During the 2010 congressional debate about healthcare reform\, she wrote the famous “nuns’ letter” supporting the reform bill and got 59 leaders of Catholic Sisters\, including LCWR\, to sign on. This action was cited by many as critically important in passing the Affordable Care Act. She was thanked by President Obama and invited to the ceremony celebrating its being signed into law.\n\nIn 2012\, she was also instrumental in organizing the “Nuns on the Bus” tour of nine states to oppose the “Ryan Budget” approved by the House of Representatives. This budget would decimate programs meant to help people in need. “Nuns on the Bus” received an avalanche of attention across the nation from religious communities\, elected officials and the media. She has led three cross-country “Nuns on the Bus\" trips\, focused on economic justice\, comprehensive immigration reform\, and (most recently) voter turnout.\n\nFor more details\, please visit http://fordschool.umich.edu/events/2016/sister-simone-campbell

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition Presentations: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making. \n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n“Domestic Visitors\,”  Adam Fure\n“Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\,”  Ana Morcillo Pallares\n“Dip and Dive in the D\,”  Claudia Wigger\n“Soundspheres\,”  Geoff Thun\n“Post Rock\,”  Meredith Miller and Thom Moran \n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. \n\nExhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted. \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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dave Alvin & Phil Alvin w/The Guilty Ones
DESCRIPTION:“Lost time is not found again.” This ancient proverb is at the heart of Blasters brother duo Dave Alvin and Phil Alvin’s long\, tumultuous relationship.  However\, in Dave’s own words\, “Sometimes Fate\, or God or the Universe\, gives you a rare chance to prove an old saying is wrong.” The brothers’ new album\, appropriately titled \"Lost Time\" does just that. Over the album's 12 tracks\, Dave and Phil pay homage to a number of artists and songs that had an early\, formative influence.  Everyone from Lead Belly to James Brown is represented\, but the figure who looms largest on the album\, and in the brothers’ own musical journey\, is Big Joe Turner. The Alvins met Big Joe as teenagers\, and he would mentor them for the remainder of his life.  They remain his humble students\, and they have cut four Big Joe songs for \"Lost Time.\" If their Grammy-nominated 2014 album \"Common Ground\" was the sound of a partnership rekindled\, \"Lost Time: is a four-alarm fire.  Dave’s guitar work slithers and stings as never before\, and Phil’s feral howl cuts to the core. This is the first Ark show by either Alvin since they began creating this profound reflection on their musical roots. Massachusetts singer-songriter Sarah Borges\, who describes her shows as \"a lot of loud guitars and loud singing\,\" is special guest.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Avoiding Group Think
DESCRIPTION:Group think is defined as: “the practice of thinking or making decisions as a group in a way that discourages creativity or individual responsibility.” While we feel that surrounding ourselves with like minds can produce a powerful end product\, the truth is very much the opposite. The good thing is that you can get out and stay out of group think and re-invigorate your creative work processes.\n\nYou will learn to:\n\nIdentify the signs that you may be getting stuck in group think\nApply techniques that promote creative and divergent thinking in your group\nUse strategies that replace “happy thought and skepticism” with “optimism and realism”\nUtilize 7 practical strategies to reduce or even avoid group failure\nDetermine when to use the knowledge of experts over the wisdom of the group \n\nYou will benefit by:\n\nExperiencing increased work group effectiveness\nAvoiding a watered-down end product when embarking on a group project\nWitnessing a reinvigorated team as they see real results\nObserving improved intra-team communications\n\nAudience:\n\nManagers who want to increase the effectiveness and communication of their teams

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Depression on College Campuses Conference
DESCRIPTION:Social support and interpersonal relationships are important for both mental and physical health. Despite impressions that today’s college students are hyper-engaged with the world around them\, many are actually under-connected to the people and resources that could be most beneficial to their overall well-being. According to a recent study\, college freshmen are spending less time with friends than ever. In addition\, for students struggling with mental health concerns\, their symptoms can make it difficult to start new relationships\, or to get the most out of existing relationships – be it with peers\, romantic partners\, family members\, professors\, campus administrators\, or clinicians.\n\nJoin us for the 14th Annual Depression on College Campuses Conference to learn about new research findings\, model programs\, and innovative strategies to encourage the formation of positive interpersonal relationships which promote student mental health.\n\nThe 2-day conference will feature a choice of intensive three-hour workshops in addition to keynote presentations\, panel discussions\, and concurrent sessions.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Shakespeare on Page and Stage: A Celebration

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Wall in Process
DESCRIPTION:This wall-in-process represents a snapshot into the year long collaborative project Humanize the Numbers at the University of Michigan. Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition On View: Exquisite Corb
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Exquisite Corb\". \n\nThis exhibition explores an undocumented private house\, the Menuserie Sylva\, in the French town of St. Dié des Vosges. This vernacular house cum architectural test site is so outwardly banal that it remained virtually invisible for more than half a century. The interior details\, however\, express the avant-garde edge of the modernist canon and are attributable in varying degrees to Le Corbusier and/or Jean-Jacques Prouvé. Commissioned by industrialist Jean-Jacques Duval at a moment when he was working closely with Le Corbusier on other projects\, the house is a site of historical approximation\, one that allows for the reconstruction of a nuanced and complex affiliation between an affluent client and a prominent architect\, as well as raising questions about the dichotomy between authorship and appropriation\, authenticated remnants\, and constructed fictions.\n\nExquisite Corb takes stock of the details\, opening up this enigmatic house for collective consideration through a series of revealing photographs by Swiss photographer Matthieu Gafsou and studied drawings\, the first and only documents revealing the aesthetic and organizational logics of the site. The representations in their appreciation of juxtaposition\, irregularity\, chance and idiosyncrasy make a case for architecture’s material\, discursive\, and narrative capacities to produce something larger\, perhaps even transcendental\, as a projected experience. Organized by Anya Sirota and Akoaki.\n\nMatthieu Gafsou (CH\, 1981) lives and works in Lausanne\, Switzerland. After completing a master of arts in philosophy\, literature and cinema at the Université de Lausanne\, he studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Vevey. Since 2006\, Gafsou has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions\, and published a series of photographic works\, including: Ce rêve étrange : Le Corbusier à Firminy\, Surfaces\, and Sacré. In 2009 Gafsou was awarded the prestigious “Prix de la fondation HSBC pour la photographie” and subsequently was invited to contribute to the Aperture Foundation's 2010 reGeneration2 exhibition. In 2014\, Lausanne’s influential Musée de l'Elysée hosted Gafsou’s solo show titled Only God Can Judge Me. In addition to his artistic practice\, Gafsou is on faculty at the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL).\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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero:  The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii - February 19-May 15\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:Organized in cooperation with the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii and the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas\, this international traveling exhibition explores the lavish lifestyle and economic interests of some of ancient Rome’s wealthiest and most powerful citizens\, who vacationed along the Bay of Naples. Julius Caesar\, Cicero\, Augustus\, and Nero all owned villas in this region. With more than 200 objects on loan from Italy\, the exhibition focuses on two structures at Oplontis that were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. One is an enormous luxury villa that may once have belonged to the family of Nero’s second wife Poppaea. The other is a nearby commercial-residential complex—a center for the trade in wine and other produce of villa lands. Together these two establishments speak eloquently of the ways in which the Roman elite built\, maintained\, and displayed their vast wealth\, political power\, and social prestige. In presenting a selection of impressive works of art along with ordinary utilitarian objects\, the exhibition also calls attention to Roman disparities of wealth\, social class\, and consumption. Such disparities were as problematic for Roman society as they are for ours today.\n\nThis exhibition in Ann Arbor will remain open to the public until May 15\, 2016. It will also be shown at the Museum of the Rockies at the Montana State University\, Bozeman (June 17-December 31\, 2016) and the Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton\, Massachusetts (February 3-August 13\, 2017).\n\nOplontis inv. 73412a: Image of gold and emerald necklace courtesy of Pio Foglia\, Fotographica Foglia s.a.s.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CAN WE REALLY CURE CANCER?
DESCRIPTION:Despite progress in developing effective cancer therapies\, many 
patients still succumb. Breakthroughs in three areas offer new hope for more effective therapies and ultimate cure: first\, the ability to determine the genetic makeup of tumors and develop tailored treatments\; second\, highlighting the importance of targeting “stem-like” cells resistant to many therapies\; finally\, breakthroughs in unleashing the body’s immune system to fight cancer.  The development of new therapies offers hope that cancer may be conquered.\n\nMax S. Wicha\, M.D. is the Madeline and Sidney Forbes Professor of Oncology and a leader in the science of cancer stem cells. He was Founding Director of U. of M.’s Comprehensive Cancer Center\, a position he held for 27 years. Dr. Wicha co-founded OncoMed\, a company that develops drugs to target cancer stem cells. He was recently appointed to the National Cancer Advisory Board\, which advises the President on 
cancer research and treatment.\n\nThis is the third in a six-lecture series. The subject is Biomedical Breakthroughs: The Future is Here. The next lecture will be March 17\, entitled THE BIONIC EYE AND NEW TREATMENTS FOR BLINDNESS FROM RETINAL DISEASE

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits
DESCRIPTION:The first major U.S. exhibition of the accomplished Chinese artist Xu Weixin (b. 1958)\, Xu Weixin: Monumental Portraits will focus on two of his acclaimed\, large-size portrait series: Miner Portraits and Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976. The subjects in Miner Portraits are coal miners working in harsh conditions in contemporary China. Chinese Historical Figures: 1966–1976 depicts people who lived—known and unknown\, and some of whom eventually perished—during the turbulent time of the Cultural Revolution. By portraying these individuals with monumentality and poignant realism\, Xu Weixin brings our focus to their lives and ordeals\, inviting an emotional connection. Reflecting the artist’s deep interest in the human condition\, these single-person portraits challenge our expectations and compel us to see beyond official narratives of historical events and social conditions. Xu Weixin is currently a professor of painting and the former executive dean of the School of Arts\, Renmin University\, Beijing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Satsuki Takahashi\, Toyota Visiting Professor\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the University of Michigan\; Assistant Professor of Sociology and Anthropology\, George Mason University\n\nSince the 2011 Fukushima nuclear meltdown\, the future of the sea is precarious. Radioactive wastewater continues to be poured into the ocean\, while consumers continue to fear the possibility that their seafood is contaminated. Nevertheless\, the post-disaster sea is filled with hopeful narratives about a bright future. Even as they acknowledge the ruins of today\, these narratives gaze at the future\, by talking about hope\, ranging from the recovery of fish population\, to the improvement of marine conservation\, and to the development of floating offshore wind farms. But given the heightened precarity\, how do people actually imagine the future in the ruined seascape? How does the future that is imagined in the present link to the past? While these questions in the background\, the presentation will build from my ethnographic and historical research on fishing communities in and near Fukushima\, and discuss how Japanese modernization efforts have repeatedly ruined the seascape and yet simultaneously regenerated hope for the future.\n\nDr. Satsuki Takahashi is an assistant professor of anthropology at George Mason University\, and currently Toyota Visiting Professor with the Center for Japanese Studies at the University of Michigan (2015-2016). Her research interests are in environmental anthropology\, eco-development\, and ocean-human relations in Japan and around the world. She is a co-editor of the Japanese-English bilingual anthology: To See Once More the Stars: Living in a Post-Fukushima World (2014\, New Pacific Press).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Institute Fellow Talk: \"Swerving from the Sacred: Disenchanted Jews in the Vernon Manuscript\"
DESCRIPTION:“Swerving from the Sacred” queries the survival of three of the four surviving Marian lyrics in the fifteenth-century Vernon Manuscript (Eng. poet a. 1): “Child Slain by Jews\,” “Jewish Boy\,” and “Merchant’s Surety.” These three narratives perform a usefulness in two otherwise unrelated—if not downright antagonistic—cultural economies. In the medieval culture in which these narratives were born\, the sacred Marian narratives frame Jews as secularized outsiders\, concerned with material objects rather than perpetual sanctity. In the Early Modern culture in which they were preserved\, these three Marian legends immortalize antisemitism as the perfect refrain in sacred Christian temporality and\, perhaps more importantly\, as essential narratives in the growth of a nation.\n\nDr. Miriamne Ara Krummel is an Associate Professor of English at the University of Dayton and is currently serving as a Frankel Fellow at the Frankel Institute of Advanced Judaic Studies during the 2015-2016 academic year. Her first monograph\, Crafting Jewishness in Medieval England: Legally Absent\, Virtually\, was published in 2011 by Palgrave Macmillan in the New Middle Ages Series. Krummel is currently co-editing a book with Tison Pugh\, Jews in Medieval England: Teaching Representations of the ‘Other.’ The paper you will hear today\, “Swerving from the Sacred: Disenchanted Jews in the Vernon Manuscript\,” represents her current thinking about images of the Jewish figure in\, mostly\, late medieval English manuscripts. “Swerving from the Sacred” is part of a chapter in Krummel’s second monograph\, currently going under the title\, Sacred Matters: The Medieval Postcolonial Jew\, In and Out of Time. An author of creative and critical nonfiction\, Krummel’s scholarship has appeared in edited volumes and such journals as Exemplaria\, Shofar\, Postmedieval\, and Texas Studies in Literature and Language.\n\nSponsored by: Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies\n\nPhoto by permission of the Master and Fellows of St. John's College\, Cambridge

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Depression on College Campuses Conference - Closing Keynote Speech
DESCRIPTION:Robert Morris\, PhD\, Founder of “Koko\,” a social network for mental health and well-being will give the closing keynote speech at the 14th annual Depression on College Campuses conference. More than 30 million adults in the United States suffer from depression. Many more meet the diagnostic criteria for an anxiety disorder. Psychotherapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy can be extremely effective\, but the demand for these treatments exceeds the resources available. What if we could crowdsource this problem? In this talk\, Dr. Robert Morris will introduce Koko — a social network for mental health and well-being. He will describe the design\, deployment\, and evaluation of this platform and trace its evolution from an MIT side project to a mobile app now serving 145 countries around the world. He will also showcase some of the unanticipated benefits of the app\, including new findings which suggest that helping others on the platform conveys the most benefits.\n\nThis closing keynote presentation is part of the University of Michigan Depression on College Campuses\, and is open to the public.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\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.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CJS Film Series | The Boy and the Beast
DESCRIPTION:Opens Friday\, March 4 at the State. The film will be screened 20 times over the course of a week. Please see the full schedule and trailer here: http://www.michtheater.org/show/the-boy-and-the-beast/\n\nOne of Japan’s biggest theatrical hits of 2015\, this is the latest feature film from award-winning Japanese director Mamoru Hosoda (Summer Wars\, Wolf Children). When Kyuta\, a young orphan living on the streets of Shibuya\, stumbles into a fantastic world of beasts\, he’s taken in by Kumatetsu\, a gruff\, rough-around-the-edges warrior beast who’s been searching for the perfect apprentice. When a deep darkness threatens to throw the human and beast worlds into chaos\, the strong bond between this unlikely family will be put to ultimate test-a final showdown that will only be won if the two can finally work together using all of their combined strength and courage.\n\nSponsored by UM Center for Japanese Studies.\n\nAnime | 119 min | PG-13

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Speaker Series with Dr. Ashley Shade\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics\, Michigan State University
DESCRIPTION:The overwhelming majority of biodiversity harbored within microbial communities is represented among their large proportion of rare taxa. We know almost nothing about these microorganisms aside from a small sequence from their ribosomal RNA genes. However\, there is accumulating evidence that rare taxa sometimes contribute to community stability by rapidly responding to environmental changes. Given the ongoing stressors of global changes on our planet\, there is a critical need to determine the specific roles that rare taxa play for community stability. Here\, we aim to extend knowledge of what often is investigated as a static property (rarity and prevalence) towards its true dynamic nature. We discuss a statistical method for uncovering dynamics of persistent\, rare taxa that occasionally become more prominent in their communities (\"conditionally rare\"). Using this method\, we quantified conditionally rare taxa in time series from a variety of ecosystems. We discovered that conditionally rare taxa were present in all habitats\, and that they disproportionately contributed to temporal changes in diversity when they were most abundant. We offer a case study in deciphering the ecology of conditionally rare taxa\, informed by time series observations before\, during and after an ecosystem manipulation. Our results suggest that persistent but rare microbial taxa contribute to high within-sample (alpha) diversity\, and help to maintain community stability after disturbance.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"Landscape and Longing: On the Perils of Gazing from a Height in Traditional China\"
DESCRIPTION:A familiar trope in the Chinese literary tradition is that of climbing to a height\, gazing out\, and experiencing an outpouring of sadness\, longing\, and nostalgia. The earliest traces of this trope can be found in the Songs of Chu\, a poetry anthology dating from the 3rd century BC\, and it would remain a recurring theme in poetic writings thereafter. This theme of “gazing from a height” has been explained both psychologically and as a symptom of the particularities of the traditional Chinese textual imagination. But it also bears examination as an aspect of the complex unfolding of other histories–those of visual perception\, emotions\, cognition\, and power. In her talk Professor Virág will discuss how these histories were interwoven\, drawing some conclusions about what the emotions bound up with seeing–and with failing to see–might reveal about the contentious domain of visual authority in traditional China.\n\nCurie Virág is an assistant professor in the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Toronto. An intellectual historian of premodern China\, she focuses on the history of ethics\, moral psychology\, and epistemology in the Warring States (4th-3rd centuries BCE) and Tang-Song (7th-12th centuries CE) periods. Professor Virág's current book projects cover the evolution of thinking about emotions in premodern China from roughly 400 BCE to 1200 CE. \"The Emotions in Early Chinese Philosophy\,\" which deals with the early phase of this history\, will be completed at the end of 2015. The sequel to this study\, covering the period of early empire to 1200\, is in preparation. In her work on emotions\, and in more recent investigations–which focus on conceptions of the self and the human\, models of cognition\, and the theory and practice of landscapes–she has been exploring how past ways of thinking about human attributes\, faculties\, and capacities are interwoven with ideas about the workings of the physical world. \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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Special Lecture - Maxim Romanov\, University of Leipzig
DESCRIPTION:With at least 25\,000 unique titles identifiable for the period before 1500 CE\, the Arabic written tradition is one of the greatest treasuries of knowledge in human history. Covering practically every aspect of Islamic culture\, this tradition is particularly rich in extensive historical sources such as chronicles and biographical collections. Most specimens of these two forms\, which often smoothly crossover into each other\, are multivolume titles that aggregate and copiously reuse earlier sources\, and\, in their turn\, get reused in later sources. Perhaps the largest specimen of these two genres is a 50-volume title\, “The History of Islam” (Taʾrīḫ al-islām)\, which was written by the famous Damascene religious scholar\, chronicler and biographer Šams al-dīn al-Ḏahabī (d. 748/1347 CE). Dubbed “one of the most ambitious histories of the entire world of Islam\,” this library of a book (~3\,4 mln. words) covers 700 years of Islamic history through over 30\,000 biographical records. Although nobody has ever doubted that this “History” is a compilation of earlier sources\, we have no understanding of the composition of this text: What earlier sources did al-Ḏahabī use? How and to what extent did he use his sources? Did he paraphrase\, summarize\, or quote his sources? How is his “History” related to his other writings? What kind of understanding did al-Ḏahabī have of the historical information that he collected? How does al-Ḏahabī’s work fit into the Arabic historiographical tradition? Was indeed a great historian who had written the most ambitious historical text or was he just an obsessive compiler?\n\nNone of these questions can be answered convincingly with traditional methods of historical inquiry. A computational approach of tracing text reuse in large corpora that fuels Viral Texts Project (http://viraltexts.org/ @ Northeasern University) offers a new perspective that will revolutionize the way how the scholars view not only the Arabic historiography\, but the entire Arabic written tradition. Using this approach that combines computational algorithms for tracing similarities among texts with the use of high-power computing\, the presentation will address three large sets of questions: 1) about the Arabic written tradition and the place of al-Ḏahabī’s “History” in it\; 2) his method of writing/compilation\; and 3) his work as a historian.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:20th Annual CLIFF Conference
DESCRIPTION:Over the past twenty years\, the rise of food studies has brought the culinary to the attention of academics\, particularly among social scientists and in departments of cultural studies. This brings new valence to widely circulated notions of cultural and material consumption and their affective dimensions (e.g. desires\, appetites). Building on foundational work by scholars including Pierre Bourdieu\, Claude Lévi-Strauss\, and Roland Barthes\, researchers have added food to the ever-growing list of cultural products deserving of inquiry. This relatively new concern with food opens up the possibility of thinking consumption and appetites in broader terms. How do we consume bodies\, images\, and cultures? How can the humanities engage with food studies? Is it possible to think the consumption of food alongside other forms of consumption? This conference\, aimed at graduate students in all disciplines across the humanities\, social sciences\, and sciences\, is concerned with appetite and consumption in all their varied aspects.\n\nWe are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Rey Chow\, the Ann Firor Scott Professor of Literature at Duke University. Situated at the intersection of critical theory\, cultural studies\, literary studies\, film and media studies\, and postcolonial studies\, many of Chow’s recent publications directly address the connections between the culinary and the cultural\, with food becoming a window into the depths of the ordinary. Chow’s work also focuses on issues of cultural translation as tied to commodification. This nexus is central to discourses of consumption (culinary and otherwise)\, while at the same time bringing visual culture\, cinema\, literature\, and new media into the conversation.\n\nThursday\, March 10 \n\nKeynote Lecture by Rey Chow\, Duke University\n“A Tale of Deliveries”  \n5:00 PM – 7:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nReception \n7:00 PM – 9:00 PM \nAssembly Hall\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\n\nFriday\, March 11 \n\nEdible and Eating Bodies \n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nCatherine Ellis\, University of Durham - ‘Sera-ce le contre-poison de la fatale Justine?’: Textual Antidotes\, Edible Prostitutes\, and Cannibal Monks in Rétif de la Bretonne’s l’Anti-Justine (1798)\n\nLisa Haushofer\, Harvard University – Appetite Historicized: The Eating Body and Nineteenth-Century Physiology of Digestion\n\nHelen Yilun Huang\, University of Oregon – Visual Sensations: From Josephine Baker’s Banana Skirt to Miss Chiquita’s Fruit Hat\n\nModerator: Mariane Stanev\n\nCLIFF@20 Lunchtime Roundtable \n12:15 PM – 1:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor \n\nJeffrey Middents\, American University - CLIFF 1996 \nMonika Cassel\, New Mexico School for the Arts - CLIFF 1996 \nCorine Tachtiris\, Earlham College - CLIFF 2006 & 2007 \nGenevieve Creedon\, Princeton University - CLIFF 2010 & 2011\nModerator: Mélissa Gélinas\, CLIFF 2016 \n\nFood in America \n1:45 PM – 3:45 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nNicole Rudisill\, University of Wisconsin – A Full Stomach: Life Behind the Façade of Fondant and Festivities\n\nBriel Kobak\, University of Chicago – Straight Whiskey and the Producer/Consumer It Protects\n\nNicolyn Woodcock\, Miami University – Remembering the “Forgotten War”: Transnational Entanglements and Foodie Trends in Eating Military Base Stew\n\nModerator: Xiaoxi Zhang \n\nFood as Data \n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM \nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nLelian Maldonado\, University of California\, Riverside – Artifact Acquisition\, Public Consumption\, and the Contemporary Destruction of Ancient Sites\n\nMarina Merlo\, University of Montreal – Food\, Porn\, and Selfies: Photographic Cultures of Consumption\n\nBrad Bolman\, Harvard University – Tasting/Testing Hogs: Cooking and Consumption as Science\n\nModerator: Vedran Catovic\n\n\nSaturday\, March 12 \n\nMaking the Nation \n10:30 AM – 12:30 PM\nWest Conference Room\, Rackham 4th Floor\n\nDenise Castillo\, University of Wisconsin – Chiles en nogada: The Creation of National Identity\n\nDiksha Dhar\, Fulbright Visiting Scholar\, University of Pennsylvania – Is It Actually about Beef?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Carrigan Lecture Series in Music Theory: Benjamin Steege\, Columbia
DESCRIPTION:This talk attends to a rich but largely unexplored aesthetic discourse of the interwar period by highlighting some ideas of two representative participants. When José Ortega y Gasset diagnosed the new literature\, music\, and painting of the post-World War I generation as an art of “dehumanization\,” he celebrated Claude Debussy as a formative example. But what did this slogan actually mean? The question can be answered in part by considering the mode of aesthetic engagement Ortega called “outward concentration” (concentración hacia afuera)\, drawing upon sources in early phenomenology.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Annual Pallas Lecture - Language and Politics in Greece Today: the New Face of an Old Problem
DESCRIPTION:A disconcerting outcome of the last two parliamentary elections in Greece has been the rise of the far-right party Golden Dawn into third position and its entry into parliament. While this mirrors parallel developments in France\, Austria\, Belgium\, the UK\, Hungary and elsewhere\, Golden Dawn is unique among European parties in its rejection of parliamentarianism\, openly embracing violence as a means of realizing its political goals\, and definition of the Greek nation on biological and racial grounds. Analysts have identified a range of endemic causes that underlie its recent electoral success: the economic crisis and record levels of unemployment\; the clientelism of the Greek political system that could not be sustained once the economy collapsed\; the long historical roots of authoritarianism\, patriarchy\, and social conservatism among a segment of the population. In this talk\, I explore some further potential explanations of this phenomenon. Drawing on the findings of the Youth and History project carried out in 27 European countries in the mid-1990’s\, I argue that the discourses of continuity\, Othering\, and Western condescension seen in Greek high-school students’ responses more than a decade before the crisis erupted reflect broader societal discourses also manifested in ideologies about language in Greece during the 19th and 20th centuries. While these discourses were a part of the nation-building process at the time\, the lack of historical awareness and naïve ethnocentrism that accompanied them left Greek society vulnerable and ideologically “ready” to be swayed to political extremes when faced with extreme circumstances (the current economic crisis coupled with the influx of immigrants and refugees).

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Detroiters Speak - Fighting for Water and Homes
DESCRIPTION:In the first of three sessions to focus on current issues Detroit is facing\, Monica Lewis-Patrick (water warrior and President and CEO\, We the People of Detroit)\, Mark Fancher (Director of the Racial Justice Project at the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan) and Marilyn Mullane (Executive Director\, Michigan Legal Services) will address two related crises affecting Detroit residents: mass water-shut offs and mass tax foreclosures. The session will be facilitated by eliza pérez-ollin and Peter Hammer\, of WSU's Detroit Equity Action Laboratory.\n\nThe impacts of these newly heightened practices will be explored\, with a special focus on the mass displacement of long-time African-American residents\, the rapid deterioration of neighborhoods\, and the threat to a stable regional water system that supplies water to a significant percentage of the state’s residents. Proposed solutions will include those that already exist but have not been implemented\, such as the water affordability plan and tax relief policies\, as well as other frameworks that could promote equitable access to water and home ownership for Detroit’s residents.\n\nFree bus transportation from Ann Arbor to Detroit via the MDetroit Connector Bus will be provided for this class. The Bus (Indian Trails) will depart the Central Campus Transit Center at 5:40pm\, and stop directly outside of the Cass Corridor Commons right around 7pm. At the end of the class (no later than 9pm)\, the Bus will depart the Cass Commons Corridor and return to the Central Campus Transit Center by no later than 10pm. \n***Wifi is available on the bus.***

SUMMARY:Performance:The Paul Thorn Band
DESCRIPTION:Paul Thorn has had quite a life! He got into the ring with Roberto \"Hands of Steel\" Duran on national television. (Both ended up at Atlantic City Medical Center\, and Paul reaped a great song\, \"I'd Rather Be a Hammer Than a Nail.\") He's the son of a Pentecostal preacher who rode the tent-revival circuit. He paints. He had his first singing gig at age three. He comes from Tupelo\, Mississippi\, and absorbed the power of gospel music just like another famous native of that town. And he ties it all together in original songs\, masterpieces of gutbucket storytelling country and soul with a fearless confessional streak (and often very funny). Paul’s new album\, Too Blessed To Be Stressed\, stakes out new territory for the popular roots-rock songwriter and performer. “In the past\, I’ve told stories that were mostly inspired by my own life\,” Paul says. “This time\, I’ve written ten songs that express more universal truths\, and I’ve done it with a purpose: to make people feel good.” The title track borrows its tag from a familiar saying among the members of the African American Baptist churches Paul frequented in his childhood. “I’d ask\, ‘How you doin’\, sister?’ And what I’d often hear back was\, ‘I’m too blessed to be stressed.’” Canadian alternative country and folk band The Brothers Landreth\, whose debut release just won the Juno award for Best Roots Album of the year\, are tonight's openers.
