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.

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.

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.

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 UID:29456-3120367@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160512T143154 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160313T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160313T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Extreme Time DESCRIPTION:Think you know all about time?

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.

His distinctive style of artistic expression captured the spirit of civil rights and black pride.\n\nAs an artist and educator\, Lockard was a mentor to many on the University of Michigan campus and beyond. Among other accolades\, he was a founder of the U-M Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

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.

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.

And did you hear them at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival a few years ago\, playing the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony\, minus the voices but with pretty much everything else intact? Like most Californians\, the three members of the California Guitar Trio all come from someplace else: Bert Lams is Belgian\, Hideyo Moriya is from Japan (where the band has a strong following)\, and Paul Richards is from Salt Lake City. All three felt the call to push themselves to the limit by enrolling in Robert Fripp’s challenging Guitar Craft courses\, where they first met in 1987. They went on to tour together as part of Fripp’s League of Crafty Guitarists before forming The California Guitar Trio in Los Angeles four years later. The CGT is a melding of diverse talents unlike anything you've heard before\, and one you can't afford to miss!

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.

Starting with the Second Folio (1632)\, our display includes a selection of landmark editions by authors and scholars like John Dryden\, Nicholas Rowe\, Alexander Pope\, Samuel Johnson\, and Edmond Malone. It explores the staging and costuming of productions such as Charles Kean’s archaeologically-informed\, elaborately-costumed 1856 production of The Winter’s Tale\, and Maurice Browne-Ellen Van Volkenburg 1930 production of Othello casting Paul Robeson as the first black actor to play Othello in a century.\n\nMost of the titles included in this display come from the McMillan Shakespeare Library.

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.

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 UID:29456-3120368@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160301T155151 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160314T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160314T130000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:CGIS Study Abroad Info Table DESCRIPTION:Chat with representatives and students from the Center for Global and Intercultural Study (CGIS) office.

Responsibility for child care delivery has been shared in both countries between federal\, “meso” (provincial/state)\, and local governments with more of that responsibility being downloaded to the state/provincial level since the 1990s. In this research presentation\, I compare two of these meso level cases (Ontario and Michigan) to understand how child care advocates have navigated these decentralized landscapes. What factors explain successful policy outcomes and what barriers persist? Are universal programs and longer term social justice advocacy claims viable in decentralized federations?\n\nAbout the speaker:\nCheryl N. Collier is an Associate Professor and Undergraduate Chair in the Department of Political Science at the University of Windsor and the co-director of the university’s cross-disciplinary Health Research Centre for the Study of Violence against Women. Her primary areas of research include Canadian federal and provincial child care and anti-violence policy\, comparative women’s movements and gender\, federalism and political parties. This semester she is teaching a graduate seminar in Public Management in the Ford School of Public Policy as an Adjunct Professor. She holds a PhD in Political Science from the University of Toronto and an MA in Canadian Studies and a Bachelor of Journalism from Carleton University.\n\nFor more information contact Bonnie Roberts at fischerb@umich.edu or 734-647-4091\, or visit www.closup.umich.edu.

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.

The latter finding replicates the findings in Lacetera et al. (2012)\, whereas the first dimension cannot be analyzed with their US data because only German cars have such legally mandated and regulated “birthdates”. Hence we have the unique opportunity to study the presence of coarse information processing within the same dataset and decision problem but across two separate domains. We document that discontinuities in these two domains are of comparable size. While Lacetera et al. (2012) explain\ntheir result with a left-digit bias in the processing of numerical information\, vintage discontinuities cannot be explained by this. We propose a slightly more general model of information prominence and availability bias to accommodate our findings.\nWe continue to show evidence from a natural field experiment in another online market to disentangle the effects of inattention and \"standard\" search costs to such discontinuities. We finally document similar discontinuities in German wage data and show that these disontinuities are linked to economically important outcomes like job satisfaction and job search.

For the first time\, a non-state actor\, al Qaida\, had inflicted significant damage on a state. In one hour and 17 minutes\, 19 terrorists murdered 2977 people from more than 90 countries and inflicted tens of billions of dollars of damage on the United States. Hear how the rise of non-state actors with global reach\, like al Qaida and ISIS\, has significantly complicated an already difficult international security environment.\n\nFrom the speaker's bio:\n\nGeneral George W. Casey\, Jr. served at the 36th Chief of Staff for the U. S. Army from April 10\, 2007 to April 11\, 2011. In his previous assigment\, he was the Commander of the Multi-National Force - Iraq\, a coalition of over thirty countries from July 1\, 2004 to February 10\, 2007. George Casey was commissioned a second lieutenant of Infantry from Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in 1970. Throughout his career\, Casey has served on operational assignments in Germany\, Italy\, Egypt\, Southwest Asia\, and the United States. He has commanded at every level from platoon to division.

They were self-made men and women -- merchants\, barley-mongers\, and cotton importers (among others) -- who were dubbed with the neologism “new money” (dhul tarif) or “merit-folk” (dhul-hasab)\, and when that did not ring a bell\, the phrase \"neither royalty nor rabble.\" Defined by negation\, they existed in a boundary condition on the selvages: beneath the nobility\, and having risen from humble\, often stigmatized\, origins. This paper explores their vulnerability and the emergence of a kind of public humanism that saturated the lives of this mercantile sub-nobility with symbolic resources to project subjectivity\, as well as political and poetic leverage in society. This new \"adab\" humanism enabled them to come together as a public around issues of common concern\, such as the essence of personhood\, dignity\, and leadership\, and push back against the state.

Using Bill de Blasio’s New York City Mayoral campaign in 2013 as a case study\, I highlight specific media moments in which de Blasio’s children and his interracial marriage to a black woman are deployed as symbols of political (and by extension\, racial) futurity. The key questions of this paper ask: How was mixed-race as a symbol deployed in the de Blasio campaign\, particularly in the context of the family? What specifically did mixed-race symbolize in this political sphere? Did de Blasio's family fight back against essentialized multicultural ideals or simply deploy them to capture the minority vote? In answering these questions I conduct a close reading of de Blasio’s well-known TV advertisement featuring his then 15-year-old son Dante\, and put it in conversation with persistent racisms in the form of police brutality\, an issue that was central to de Blasio’s campaign. This work engages topics at the intersection of critical mixed-race studies\, performance studies\, and visual culture\, drawing upon and contesting current research that places mixed-race people at the forefront of a changing American demographic and political climate.\n\n\n\nThe Black Humanities Collective (BHC) is an interdisciplinary graduate student organization at the University of Michigan that fosters a community of scholars invested in the intellectual\, professional\, and social growth and development of students across disciplines whose research interests focus on the African Diaspora.

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.

Starting with the Second Folio (1632)\, our display includes a selection of landmark editions by authors and scholars like John Dryden\, Nicholas Rowe\, Alexander Pope\, Samuel Johnson\, and Edmond Malone. It explores the staging and costuming of productions such as Charles Kean’s archaeologically-informed\, elaborately-costumed 1856 production of The Winter’s Tale\, and Maurice Browne-Ellen Van Volkenburg 1930 production of Othello casting Paul Robeson as the first black actor to play Othello in a century.\n\nMost of the titles included in this display come from the McMillan Shakespeare Library. Materials are also displayed from the Maurice Browne and Ellen Van Volkenburg Papers\, 1792-1968 and the Zelma Weisfeld Archive\, 1954-2006. All these books and artifacts are held in the Special Collections Library.\n\nAudubon Room Hours: Monday-Friday 8:30 am to 7 pm\, Saturday 10 am to 6 pm\, Sunday 1 pm to 7 pm UID:26647-2127331@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/26647 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Books,Exhibition,Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Audubon Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160309T163823 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160315T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160315T170000 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.

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.

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 UID:29456-3120369@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160315T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160315T170000 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.

Subsequently\, housing-price inequality has risen to pre-War levels\, while rent inequality has risen less. Combining both measures\, we see inequality in housing consumption equivalents mirroring patterns in income across both space and time\, according to an income elasticity of housing demand just below one. These patterns occur mainly within cities\, and are not explained by observed changes in dwelling characteristics or locations. Instead\, recent increases in housing inequality are driven most by changes in the relative value of locations\, seen especially through land.

DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the 54th Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Ernst Karel will present his collaborative project Ah humanity! at the Work Gallery\, 306 S State St\, Ann Arbor\, from March 15 - April 1. Ah humanity! was created by Karel in conjunction with Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing- Taylor.\n\nAn installation for video and four-channel audio\, Ah humanity! reflects on the fragility and folly of humanity in the age of the Anthropocene. Taking the 3/11/11 disaster of Fukushima as its point of departure\, it evokes an apocalyptic vision of modernity\, and our predilection for historical amnesia and futuristic flights of fancy. The images were shot on a telephone through a handheld telescope\, at once close to and far from its subject\, while the audio composition combines empty excerpts from Japanese genbaku and related film soundtracks\, audio recordings from seismic laboratories\, and location sound. He will present a talk about the work at the gallery at 3pm on Thursday\, March 17th.

This talk discusses a relatively underexamined chapter in the life of the Orphan play—the adaptations of its basic plot to southern operatic forms during the Ming dynasty. These little-known dramatic texts reveal a great deal about the interplay and synergies among dramatic performance\, urban spectacle\, visual representation\, and print culture during the mid- to late Ming.\n\nYuming He received her BA and MA from Peking University and PhD from UC Berkeley. She taught at Reed College and the University of Chicago before joining the faculty at UC Davis. Her recent work is focused on the history of the book\, theater\, and epistemological processes in late-imperial China.

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.

Especially in two manuscripts whose provenance links them closely to Browne himself\, the text of Religio Medici is broken into smaller portions of prose than are found in the print editions from 1642 onward. Considered together with the fact that in the first manuscript stage of composition\, but also in the 1643 authorized edition Browne divides his meditations by numbers rather than titles\, this brokenness prompts us to consider the possibility that the mode if not the genres of Religio Medici was intended by the author and received by its earliest readers aphoristically.

Marginalized and fearful\, many of these mothers spoke no English\, and charged that they had been coerced into tubal ligation — having their tubes tied — by doctors during the late stages of labor. Often the procedure was performed after asking the mothers under duress.\n\nThe mothers’ cause was eventually taken up by a young Chicana lawyer armed with hospital records secretly gathered by a whistle-blowing doctor. In their landmark 1975 civil rights lawsuit\, Madrigal v. Quilligan\, they argued that a woman’s right to bear a child is guaranteed under the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade.\n\nThe filmmakers spent five years tracking down sterilized mothers and witnesses. Most were reluctant at first to come forward\, but ultimately agreed to tell their story. Set against a debate over the impact of Latino immigration and overpopulation\, and the birth of a movement for Chicana rights and reproductive choice\, No Más Bebés revisits a powerful story that still resonates today.\n\nRenee Tajima-Peña is an Academy Award nominated filmmaker whose credits include Who Killed Vincent Chin?\, MY AMERICA...or Honk if You Love Buddha\, and Calavera Highway. Her films have screened at the Cannes Sundance and Toronto film festivals and she has been awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship\, USA Broad Fellowship\, Alpert Award in the Arts for Film/Video\, a Peabody and a Dupont-Columbia Award.\n\nTajima-Peña teaches social documentary at UCLA\, where she is a professor of Asian American Studies\, the director of the Center for EthnoCommunications and holds an endowed chair in Japanese American Studies. She never went to film school\, but traces the origins as a filmmaker to her student activism. She was chair of the United Front Against Apartheid at Harvard\, and while a student\, made her first short film documenting the Socialist New Jewel Movement in Grenada. She has been deeply involved in filmmakers of color movements and started her career as a member of the Third World Newsreel film collective.\n\nPresented by IRWG's Reproductive Justice Facutly Program\, cosponsored by Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology\, Fellowship in Family Planning\, Medical Students for Choice\, Students for Choice\, Department of Women's Studies\, Law Students for Reproductive Justice\, Latina/o Studies\, The Michigan Journal of Gender & Law\, Latino Law Students Association\, Michigan Immigration and Labor Law Association\, ACLU MLaw Chapter\, and Asian Pacific American Law Students Association\, The Michigan Journal of Race & Law.\n\nPresented by IRWG's Reproductive Justice Faculty Program.

He is Editor of the Administrative Science Quarterly and Director of the Interdisciplinary Committee on Organization Studies (ICOS) at the University of Michigan.\n \nDavis’s research is broadly concerned with the effects of finance on society. Recent writings examine how ideas about corporate social responsibility have evolved to meet changes in the structures and geographic footprint of multinational corporations\; whether \"shareholder capitalism\" is still a viable model for economic development\; how income inequality in an economy is related to corporate size and structure\; why theories about organizations do (or do not) progress\; how architecture shapes social networks and innovation in organizations\; why stock markets spread to some countries and not others\; and whether there exist viable organizational alternatives to shareholder-owned corporations in the United States.\n\nCHRIS WHITE leads the Center for Positive Organizations at The University of Michigan. The Center helps leaders build high-performing organizations that bring out the best in people through ground-breaking research\, educational programs and organizational partnerships. The Center won the 2012 Research Center Impact Award from The Academy of Management.\n\nAt the Ross School of Business\, Chris co-developed and teaches the MBA class on Social Intrapreneurship\, which has since been replicated in other top business schools. He also teaches in the Executive Education program on selling internally. Chris is co-author of Changing Your Company From the Inside Out: A Guide for Social Intrapreneurs (Harvard Business Review Press\, 2015).\n\nChris has been leading and consulting to purpose-driven organizations for 15 years. His career has spanned the non-profit\, corporate\, and philanthropic sectors. His work has been featured by outlets including Fast Company\, Inc.\, Forbes\, CBS\, The Huffington Post\, and Talent Management Magazine. \n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public.

There sincerity was interpreted not as a writer’s inclination to “open” his/her inner world to the public\, but rather as a moral demand to critically represent the social environment and social conditions. This view acquired wide support in the milieu of reformatory-minded Soviet writers\, especially those who specialized in children's literature. This talk is intended to discover what literary plots\, images and devices were required and were really used in order to fulfill this moral and social duty and what peculiar and sometimes odd literary forms arose in response to the new imperatives.\n\nMaria Maiofis is an Associate Professor and Senior Research Fellow at the School of Advanced Research in the Humanities\, Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration.

Starting with the Second Folio (1632)\, our display includes a selection of landmark editions by authors and scholars like John Dryden\, Nicholas Rowe\, Alexander Pope\, Samuel Johnson\, and Edmond Malone. It explores the staging and costuming of productions such as Charles Kean’s archaeologically-informed\, elaborately-costumed 1856 production of The Winter’s Tale\, and Maurice Browne-Ellen Van Volkenburg 1930 production of Othello casting Paul Robeson as the first black actor to play Othello in a century.\n\nMost of the titles included in this display come from the McMillan Shakespeare Library. Materials are also displayed from the Maurice Browne and Ellen Van Volkenburg Papers\, 1792-1968 and the Zelma Weisfeld Archive\, 1954-2006.

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.

Katchadourian considers the ongoing quandary of where we really come from\, who we are\, trying to isolate our sense of ourselves in counterpoint with the way people define or judge us based upon their assumptions. It is\, of course\, the unique combination of things that offers our most comprehensive and authentic self-reflection\, not one thing or another\, and this amalgamation is to some degree indecipherable.\n\n\nAlthough they have lived in the United States for over 45 years\, Katchadourian’s foreign-born parents both have distinctive but hard-to-place accents that the artist has never been able to imitate correctly. Inspired by posters around New York advertising courses in “accent elimination\,” Katchadourian decided to hire a professional who could teach her to speak in each of her parents’ accents and teach them to speak with a so-called “standard American accent.” Katchadourian and her parents took intensive lessons with accent coach Sam Chwat at his office every other day for several weeks\, and also practiced in the artist’s studio between lessons. They worked with two scripts: one written by her mother and the other by her father\, both modeled on the typical conversation that each of them has when talking with a stranger who notices an accent and is curious about its origins.\n\nKatchadourian plays the part of the stranger. The dialogues are first performed in everyone’s natural accents\, then at the end of the piece\, after much practice and struggle\, they attempt to perform the\nsame scripts—in the best version they can muster—of their new accents.\n\nIn light of recent and all-too-familiar seismic political shifts consumed with “otherness\,” and building walls rather than bringing them down\, Accent Elimination feels especially prescient. It reminds us there\nare so many layers that comprise our cultural identities\, stacked up like markers\, artifacts of our points of origin as well as our extraordinary journeys. It is an ongoing and painstaking process as to what we save and what we lose along the way by choice\, necessity\, or circumstance. And in all of this\, perhaps we discover ourselves on common ground.\n\nAccent Elimination was included at the 2015 Venice Biennale in the Armenian pavilion\, which won the Golden Lion for Best National Participation. Nina Katchadourian is represented by Catharine Clark Gallery.\n\nNina Katchadourian’s University of Michigan visit is the result of a collaboration between the Institute for the Humanities and the Armenian Studies Program.

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.

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 UID:29456-3120370@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160202T134236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160316T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160316T170000 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.

Dr. Dhar’s transdisciplinary research explores\, though the lens of gender\, the intersections between disciplines\, epistemic frames\, theory and praxis\, in order to ask critical questions pertaining to gender\, sexual violence\, and education.\n\nThe talk will interrogate how hegemonic understandings of “bodies” — seen in terms of both gender and knowledge — frame and mediate national and transnational initiatives on sexual violence and education. Dr. Dhar is particularly interested in situating these initiatives within the difficult dialogues between “the east” and “the west\,” in light of past and present colonial practices\, to examine the possibilities and limitations of love as a (feminist) method.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the 54th Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Ernst Karel will present his collaborative project Ah humanity! at the Work Gallery\, 306 S State St\, Ann Arbor\, from March 15 - April 1. Ah humanity! was created by Karel in conjunction with Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing- Taylor.\n\nAn installation for video and four-channel audio\, Ah humanity! reflects on the fragility and folly of humanity in the age of the Anthropocene. Taking the 3/11/11 disaster of Fukushima as its point of departure\, it evokes an apocalyptic vision of modernity\, and our predilection for historical amnesia and futuristic flights of fancy. The images were shot on a telephone through a handheld telescope\, at once close to and far from its subject\, while the audio composition combines empty excerpts from Japanese genbaku and related film soundtracks\, audio recordings from seismic laboratories\, and location sound. He will present a talk about the work at the gallery at 3pm on Thursday\, March 17th.

The Thing-System of Soviet Productivism: Building the Economy of Storage in the Late USSR DESCRIPTION:In my talk I explore late Soviet views on specificities of socialist commodity and commodity context\, moving beyond the powerful paradigms of “the culture of shortage” and “the economy of scarcity” that defined the studies of socialist consumption for the last few decades. My goal is to show that by displacing “scarcity” as the primary explanatory lens on Soviet consumption\, we can clear up some analytical and ethnographic room for processes\, practices\, concepts\, or paradigms that have been routinely overshadowed by the politically charged emphasis on shortages. I am less concerned with the political management of shortages through which socialist bureaucracy increased its “allocative power.” Instead\, I want to foreground the economy of storage by tracing the emergence of what Boris Arvatov\, a Soviet theorist\, called a thing-system (veshchnaia sistema)—that is\, a historically specific constellation of tangible objects\, institutional infrastructure\, classification protocols\, and ideological values which determined the parameters of the commodity context in late Soviet society.\n\nThe change of perspective\, I hope\, can modify the interpretative matrix: for instance\, what is perceived now as the ill-conceived “overmanning” (hoarding of labor) might reemerge as a historically available mode of (working-) class production\, or what seems as the irrational overstocking of commodities could reappear as a crucial material precondition for stimulating centripetal tendencies in an otherwise fragmented country. As I will demonstrate\, the will to rationalize the production\, accumulation\, and redistribution of objects of consumption triangulated a particular emphasis on materiality of objects able to satisfy rational needs (use-value)\, a specific economic formation for integrating space\, things\, people\, and classificatory models (Soviet storage economy)\, and a distinctive set of moral assumptions and rules aimed at regulating consumption in non-economic way (the doctrine of a Soviet mode of life).\n\nSerguei Oushakine has conducted fieldwork in the Siberian part of Russia\, as well as in Belarus and Kyrgyzstan. His research is concerned with transitional processes and situations: from the formation of newly independent national cultures after the collapse of the Soviet Union to post-traumatic identities and hybrid cultural forms. His first book The Patriotism of Despair: Loss\, Nation\, and War in Russia focused on communities of loss and exchanges of sacrifices in provincial post-communist Russia. His current project explores Eurasian postcoloniality as a means of affective reformatting of the past and as a form of retroactive victimhood. Oushakine’s Russian-language publications include edited volumes on trauma\, family\, gender and masculinity. Prof. Oushakine is director of the Program in Russian and Eurasian Studies at Princeton.\n\nPart of the CREES-sponsored series\, Buying and Selling\, States and Markets\, which focuses on various aspects of economies in Russia\, Eastern Europe\, and Eurasia. How did socialist regimes theorize money\, consumption\, wages\, and pricing? How did markets during state socialism actually work\, and what is their legacy in contemporary times? What are the social roles of commodities and economic transactions today?

Mahayana Buddhism syncretized with Confucianism\, Taoism\, Korean Shamanism and Japanese Shinto as Buddhism spread to the East. Each syncretization gave birth to unique Buddhist art aesthetics. The transformation of Buddhist sculpture stopped [MU1] as the religion reached Far East. How does an artist reboot the transformation? This lecture will discuss Yoosamu’s journey to Jingdezhen\, China to infuse contemporary aesthetics into the traditional Guanyin sculpture.\n\nBiography:\n\nYoosamu is a contemporary Korean artist. His current research works are 1) exploring secret government documents and 2) investigating the culture of remakes and the transformation of tradition. Having a multidisciplinary background in visual art as both an artist and an art director\, Yoosamu utilizes painting\, sculpture\, installation\, film and K-POP music video in creating his works. His works were included in the 2015 Animamix Biennial at Daegu Art Museum in South Korea. He has received recognitions from Cannes Lions in France and The One Show in New York. Yoosamu is currently an MFA student at the Stamps School of Art & Design\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. To learn more about Yoosamu’s work\, visit www.yoosamu.com.

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 paternal trope gains its strength from its integration of law\, body\, and affect-in the affirmative model of fatherhood\, the biological father\, the legal father\, and the father who protects and nurtures his children are one and the same\, and in a complex system of mutual interdependence\, the father of the family is symbolically linked to the paternal gods of monotheism and the paternal ruler of the monarchic state.\n\nIf tragedy is the violent eruption of a necessary conflict between competing\, legitimate claims\, The Tragedy of Fatherhood argues that fatherhood is an essentially tragic structure. Silke-Maria Weineck traces both the tensions and various strategies to resolve them through a series of readings of seminal literary and theoretical texts in the Western cultural tradition. In doing so\, she demonstrates both the fragility and resilience of fatherhood as the most important symbol of political power.\n\nA long history of fatherhood in literature\, philosophy\, and political thought\, The Tragedy of Fatherhood weaves together figures as seemingly disparate as Aristotle\, Freud\, Kafka\, and Kleist\, to produce a stunning reappraisal of the nature of power in the Western tradition.\n\nSilke-Maria Weineck is chair of Comparative Literature and Professor of German Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan\, USA. She is the author of The Abyss Above: Philosophy and Poetic Madness in Plato\, Hölderlin\, and Nietzsche (SUNY Press\, 2002). \n\nJonathan Freedman is professor of English\, American and Jewish Studies at the University of Michigan. He has written on late-19th- and early 20th-century literature\, film\, and Jewish-American cultural formations.\n\nThe Author's Forum is a collaboration between the U-M Institute for the Humanities\, University Library\, & Ann Arbor Book Festival.\n\nAdditional support for this event provided by the departments of German\, English\, and American Culture.\n\nToday's book signing and sale courtesy of Literati Bookstore.

Ms. Rodriguez will bring additional information as to how the political and educational scene has changed since the protests depicted in the documentary\, as well as issues that continue to affect the Hispanic community today.\n\nIn the 1960s and 1970s a generation of Mexican Americans\, frustrated by persistent discrimination and poverty\, find a new way forward\, through social action and the building of a new \"Chicano\" identity. The movement is ignited when farm workers in the fields of California\, led by César Chavez and Dolores Huerta\, march on Sacramento for equal pay and humane working conditions. Through plays\, poetry and film\, Luis Valdez and activist Corky Gonzalez create a new appreciation of the long history of Mexicans in the South West and the Mestizo roots of Mexican Americans. In Los Angeles\, Sal Castro\, a schoolteacher\, leads the largest high school student walkout in American history\, demanding that Chicano students be given the same educational opportunities as Anglos. In Texas\, activists such as José Ángel Gutiérrez\, create a new political party and change the rules of the electoral game. By the end of the 1970s\, Chicanos' activism and identity have transformed what it means to be an American. Chicano and Latino studies are incorporated into school curriculum\; Latinos are included in the political process.\n\nThe Ann Arbor District Library is one of 203 sites nationwide to host this series\, which has been made possible through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association.

Her video piece \"Accent Elimination\,\" which was included in the 2015 Venice Biennale as part of the Armenian exhibition\, was inspired by her parents and their accents and life stories\, which suggest that the question as to where a person comes from is not so simple to answer\, and the answers speak to a larger family story about displacement migration\, intermarriage\, and diaspora. With the help of an “accent elimination” coach\, Katchadourian sets out to learn to speak in her parents’ accents\, and for them to acquire a “standard American accent.” As the video reflects\, it proves to be a moving\, confusing\, frustrating and often hilarious experience.

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.

Starting with the Second Folio (1632)\, our display includes a selection of landmark editions by authors and scholars like John Dryden\, Nicholas Rowe\, Alexander Pope\, Samuel Johnson\, and Edmond Malone. It explores the staging and costuming of productions such as Charles Kean’s archaeologically-informed\, elaborately-costumed 1856 production of The Winter’s Tale\, and Maurice Browne-Ellen Van Volkenburg 1930 production of Othello casting Paul Robeson as the first black actor to play Othello in a century.\n\nMost of the titles included in this display come from the McMillan Shakespeare Library. Materials are also displayed from the Maurice Browne and Ellen Van Volkenburg Papers\, 1792-1968 and the Zelma Weisfeld Archive\, 1954-2006.

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.

Katchadourian considers the ongoing quandary of where we really come from\, who we are\, trying to isolate our sense of ourselves in counterpoint with the way people define or judge us based upon their assumptions. It is\, of course\, the unique combination of things that offers our most comprehensive and authentic self-reflection\, not one thing or another\, and this amalgamation is to some degree indecipherable.\n\n\nAlthough they have lived in the United States for over 45 years\, Katchadourian’s foreign-born parents both have distinctive but hard-to-place accents that the artist has never been able to imitate correctly. Inspired by posters around New York advertising courses in “accent elimination\,” Katchadourian decided to hire a professional who could teach her to speak in each of her parents’ accents and teach them to speak with a so-called “standard American accent.” Katchadourian and her parents took intensive lessons with accent coach Sam Chwat at his office every other day for several weeks\, and also practiced in the artist’s studio between lessons. They worked with two scripts: one written by her mother and the other by her father\, both modeled on the typical conversation that each of them has when talking with a stranger who notices an accent and is curious about its origins.\n\nKatchadourian plays the part of the stranger. The dialogues are first performed in everyone’s natural accents\, then at the end of the piece\, after much practice and struggle\, they attempt to perform the\nsame scripts—in the best version they can muster—of their new accents.\n\nIn light of recent and all-too-familiar seismic political shifts consumed with “otherness\,” and building walls rather than bringing them down\, Accent Elimination feels especially prescient. It reminds us there\nare so many layers that comprise our cultural identities\, stacked up like markers\, artifacts of our points of origin as well as our extraordinary journeys. It is an ongoing and painstaking process as to what we save and what we lose along the way by choice\, necessity\, or circumstance. And in all of this\, perhaps we discover ourselves on common ground.\n\nAccent Elimination was included at the 2015 Venice Biennale in the Armenian pavilion\, which won the Golden Lion for Best National Participation. Nina Katchadourian is represented by Catharine Clark Gallery.\n\nNina Katchadourian’s University of Michigan visit is the result of a collaboration between the Institute for the Humanities and the Armenian Studies Program.

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.

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 UID:29456-3120371@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160301T160334 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160317T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160317T130000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:CGIS Study Abroad Info Table DESCRIPTION:Chat with representatives and students from the Center for Global and Intercultural Study (CGIS) office.

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.

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.

Access to iodine\, a key determinant of cognitive ability\, rose sharply. We compare outcomes for cohorts exposed in utero to iodized salt with those of slightly older\, unexposed cohorts\, across states with high versus low iodine deficiency rates prior to salt fortification. Incomes for cohorts who benefited from iodized salt access went up by 3%\, with a nearly 8% increase during school-going ages. We find a small but precisely measured decline in educational attainment (-0.04 years)\, mainly due to decreased schooling in states with blue-collar jobs. Employment rose by 1%\, driven by a 2% rise at school-going ages and focused on entry into low-wage jobs. Later in life\, exposed cohorts began to shift into self-employment. These results are consistent with a model of schooling choice in which cognitive ability raises both the returns to education as well as the wage at labor force entry\, leading to a rise in income and employment but an ambiguous effect on educational attainment.

Narrative\, Archetypes\, and Myth in Islamic Historiography.\" DESCRIPTION:What is history? Did the early Muslim historians intend their work to be read as dry accounts of the past or were they trying to tell their audiences something more? In this talk\, D. Gershon Lewental will explain the challenges in studying early Islamic history and propose a novel interpretation: that the historical texts should be read like epic literature.\n\nD. Gershon Lewental is a cultural historian of the Middle East\, focusing on how societies use religion\, memory\, and conflict to define and maintain their identities. He has been the Schusterman visiting assistant professor in the Departments of History and International & Area Studies at the University of Oklahoma since 2012. He earned his degrees from Cornell University and Brandeis University\, writing a dissertation on the changing perceptions of the Arab-Islamic conquest of Iran that received the Foundation of Iranian Studies Best Dissertation Award and the Brandeis University Glazter Dissertation Prize. His fields of specialization include early Islamic history and historiography\, Iranian history\, the Baha?i faith\, and Israeli society.\n\nOrganized by the Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar (IISS)\, the only academic forum at the University of Michigan that engages students and faculty who are interested in the study of Islam and Muslim societies in an interdisciplinary and cross-regional conversation. Following our inception in the winter term 2010\, IISS has grown to include a large number of both student and faculty participants. They represent a wide range of departments and programs including American Culture\, Anthropology\, Architecture and Urban Planning\, Asian Languages and Cultures\, History\, Law\, Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Musicology\, Natural Resources and Environment\, Near Eastern Studies\, Political Science\, Romance Languages and Literatures\, South Asian Studies\, and Southeast Asian Studies.

The destruction of the Jerusalem temple at the end of the first century C.E. led to the effective demise of this practice\, and to the emergence of a common perception according to which sacrifices were superseded by religious practices that are taken to be more “modern” and refined\, such as prayer and study. Professor Balberg's paper seeks to challenge and refine the \"supersession\" hypothesis by examining two post-temple junctures in which biblical sacrifices are strongly endorsed but are radically reinterpreted: early rabbinic literature (2nd-3rd centuries CE) on the one hand\, and discourse among religious-Zionist circles in Israel in the 21st century on the other hand. The paper will argue that while early rabbis and contemporary religious leaders pursue diametrically opposed approaches to sacrifice\, they both insist on its physical concreteness and on its enduring relevance.\n\nSponsored by: Classical Studies\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, and Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies UID:26926-2261009@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/26926 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Classical Studies,History,Jewish Studies,Lecture LOCATION:Angell Hall - Classics Library, Room 2175 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160401T123008 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160317T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160317T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Land A Great Internship DESCRIPTION:Don't know where to start when looking for an internship?

Through these files\, a remarkable human drama unfolds—not just of life under a communist regime but of the courageous artistry that thrived in spite of that oppression.\n\nTheatre of the Eighth Day (Teatr Ósmego Dnia) was founded in 1964 and soon became one of the most significant alternative student theatre troupes in Poland. Its name derives from the Polish poet K.I. Galczynski\, who wrote that “On the seventh day\, the Lord God rested\, and on the eighth\, He created theatre.” Influenced mostly by the work of Grotowski\, the group developed their own acting method and approach to creating performances through group improvisation. For 25 years and despite constant surveillance by the secret police and government censorship\, Theatre of the Eighth Day managed to create some of the most important works for the Polish stage. By 1985\, most of the group had left the country and the Theatre remained in exile until 1989\, returning to Poland at the invitation of the first non-communist Minister of Culture. Since the collapse of the Communist regime\, the company\, which is based in Poznan\, continues to be recognized as a leader among Polish alternative theatres. \n\nRELATED EVENT: On Monday\, March 21 at 5:30 pm\, Ewa Wójciak\, Theatre of the Eighth Day director\, will deliver the Annual Copernicus Lecture\, “Breaking Boundaries before and after Censorship: A Personal Story of When and How You Should Say No.”\n\nThis residency is part of a semester-long series on Polish Theatre.\n\nSponsors: U-M’s Copernicus Program in Polish Studies\, Department of Theatre & Drama\, Third Century Initiative\; Culture.pl.

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.

Starting with the Second Folio (1632)\, our display includes a selection of landmark editions by authors and scholars like John Dryden\, Nicholas Rowe\, Alexander Pope\, Samuel Johnson\, and Edmond Malone. It explores the staging and costuming of productions such as Charles Kean’s archaeologically-informed\, elaborately-costumed 1856 production of The Winter’s Tale\, and Maurice Browne-Ellen Van Volkenburg 1930 production of Othello casting Paul Robeson as the first black actor to play Othello in a century.\n\nMost of the titles included in this display come from the McMillan Shakespeare Library.

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.

Katchadourian considers the ongoing quandary of where we really come from\, who we are\, trying to isolate our sense of ourselves in counterpoint with the way people define or judge us based upon their assumptions. It is\, of course\, the unique combination of things that offers our most comprehensive and authentic self-reflection\, not one thing or another\, and this amalgamation is to some degree indecipherable.\n\n\nAlthough they have lived in the United States for over 45 years\, Katchadourian’s foreign-born parents both have distinctive but hard-to-place accents that the artist has never been able to imitate correctly. Inspired by posters around New York advertising courses in “accent elimination\,” Katchadourian decided to hire a professional who could teach her to speak in each of her parents’ accents and teach them to speak with a so-called “standard American accent.” Katchadourian and her parents took intensive lessons with accent coach Sam Chwat at his office every other day for several weeks\, and also practiced in the artist’s studio between lessons. They worked with two scripts: one written by her mother and the other by her father\, both modeled on the typical conversation that each of them has when talking with a stranger who notices an accent and is curious about its origins.\n\nKatchadourian plays the part of the stranger. The dialogues are first performed in everyone’s natural accents\, then at the end of the piece\, after much practice and struggle\, they attempt to perform the\nsame scripts—in the best version they can muster—of their new accents.\n\nIn light of recent and all-too-familiar seismic political shifts consumed with “otherness\,” and building walls rather than bringing them down\, Accent Elimination feels especially prescient. It reminds us there\nare so many layers that comprise our cultural identities\, stacked up like markers\, artifacts of our points of origin as well as our extraordinary journeys. It is an ongoing and painstaking process as to what we save and what we lose along the way by choice\, necessity\, or circumstance. And in all of this\, perhaps we discover ourselves on common ground.\n\nAccent Elimination was included at the 2015 Venice Biennale in the Armenian pavilion\, which won the Golden Lion for Best National Participation. Nina Katchadourian is represented by Catharine Clark Gallery.\n\nNina Katchadourian’s University of Michigan visit is the result of a collaboration between the Institute for the Humanities and the Armenian Studies Program.

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.

However\, attempts to leverage peer effects by creative group assignment have often failed to account for endogenous peer group formation conditional on group assignment\, leading to erroneous inference\, especially when forecasting out-of-sample policies. I address this shortcoming within the context of a randomized evaluation of the effects of a girls’ extracurricular program in rural Rajasthan. I first show that the program under study has substantial heterogeneous treatment effects\, and that the program\, which only involves participation by a fraction of the girls in each school\, leads to substantial differential network formation. I further exploit detailed network data to document a number of stylized network facts. Building upon these stylized facts\, I then develop and estimate a model of network formation and non-linear peer effects in which actors make continuous linking decisions subject to a total effort constraint. Outcomes are determined by a model that allows for heterogeneous peer effects. I estimate the model using extensive longitudinal network and outcome data\, and show that the model’s predictions perform well when compared to realized out-of-sample outcomes. Finally\, I simulate expected outcomes for a counterfactual policy that preferentially assigns lower caste girls to participate in the program\, finding that this leads to higher educational aspirations but lower attitudes about gender roles when compared to random assignment.

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 UID:29456-3120372@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160315T181523 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160318T110000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EXCEL Guest Lecture: Delroy Lindo\, actor DESCRIPTION:Dean Aaron Dworkin and acclaimed stage and film actor Delroy Lindo discuss personal stories on the challenges of early-stage career development\, share pivotal career moments and lessons learned\, and address the changes they see in the professional landscape today including advice for students who want to transition into professional performing arts careers. \n\nRSVP at bit.ly/1KLufSg \n\nThis event will be live streamed at: http://www.music.umich.edu/live-stream/\n\nSponsored by EXCEL\, and the Departments of Theatre and Screen Arts & Cultures.

DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the 54th Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Ernst Karel will present his collaborative project Ah humanity! at the Work Gallery\, 306 S State St\, Ann Arbor\, from March 15 - April 1. Ah humanity! was created by Karel in conjunction with Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing- Taylor.\n\nAn installation for video and four-channel audio\, Ah humanity! reflects on the fragility and folly of humanity in the age of the Anthropocene. Taking the 3/11/11 disaster of Fukushima as its point of departure\, it evokes an apocalyptic vision of modernity\, and our predilection for historical amnesia and futuristic flights of fancy. The images were shot on a telephone through a handheld telescope\, at once close to and far from its subject\, while the audio composition combines empty excerpts from Japanese genbaku and related film soundtracks\, audio recordings from seismic laboratories\, and location sound. He will present a talk about the work at the gallery at 3pm on Thursday\, March 17th.

For example\, the Chinese word ‘fast’ have been transcribed as [khuai] and segmented as [k]-[h]-[u]-[a]-[i] in one analysis\, and transcribed as [khwai] and segmented as [khw]-[a]-[i] in another\, with quite a few other alternatives in between. Each analysis in turn will yield a different number of phones and phonemes. We propose a solution to the ambiguities\, which makes use of two criteria. First\, instead of simply comparing the number of phonemes in different analyses\, we propose comparing the number of ‘basic phonemes’. Second\, we compare how each analysis accounts for occurring and non-occurring syllables against all possible combinations of phonemes. We demonstrate our approach with two segmentation options of Old Chengdu\, the ‘finest’ segmentation vs. the ‘coarsest’ segmentation. We show that they end up being essentially the same analysis.

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.

Less research deals with perception of regional and social dialects in fictional media. This dissertation aims to fill that gap by examining the role fictional representations of dialect use on television might play in language attitudes. It will extend the study of social cognition and perception in linguistic media research by testing whether linguistic stereotypes primed by media representations are extended to a non-media speaker of a dialect and whether explicit knowledge that an actor is performing a dialect as a native or non-native speaker affects attitudes. The three main goals of the project are to (1) complement and augment research on language attitudes via media by empirically testing assumptions about media and language attitudes\, (2) provide a baseline study of explicit and implicit attitudes in language\, and (3) explore whether viewer knowledge that a dialect is being performed by a native versus non-native speaker of the dialect contributes to attitudes. I propose three experiments to address these research goals. Experiment 1 will test whether hearing an unintelligencharacter who speaks either a stigmatized or non- stigmatized American regional dialect in a scene from a fictional television show will shift explicit and implicit attitudes about the intelligence of an actual speaker of that dialect whom the participant interacts with in the form of a research assistant. Experiment 2 follows the same structure as Experiment 1\, but adds viewer knowledge about a speaker in the media as a variable. The viewer will be told the less intelligent speaker in the media clip is played by an actor who is either a native speaker of the dialect or a non-native performing it. Experiment 3 will test if listeners can identify whether they are hearing a native or non-native speaker of an American regional dialect.

Water links aquifers to surface waters\, hillslopes to oceans\, and our communities to our environments. However\, there is still a disconnect between the study of most environmental hydrological and biogeochemical phenomena. This disconnect limits our ability to anticipate how global change will alter Carbon and Nitrogen cycles\, ecosystems\, and our water resources. By embracing multidisciplinary approaches that unify hydrological and biogeochemical theory\, we can move beyond these limitations and develop novel approaches that address the complex nonlinear relationships inherent to biogeochemical systems. I will draw from my research program to illustrate how coupling hydrological and biogeochemical principles can uncover important processes and emergent patterns in Carbon and Nitrogen dynamics of river networks and groundwater-surface water interfaces. Specifically\, I will discuss how δ15N stable isotope tracer experiments and numerical models can reveal the function of the “River’s Liver” (the hyporheic zone) and quantify sources or sinks of Nitrogen in our fluvial landscapes. I will also discuss new theory that incorporates the role of river flow regimes on organic Carbon export from watersheds across the United States and its implication for regional and global Carbon cycle models.\n\nDr. Zarnetske is an Assistant Professor of Hydrological Sciences at Michigan State University in the Department of Geological Sciences.

Standard understandings of modernity\, for example\, rest\, as Homi Bhabha argues\, on ‘the writing out of the colonial and postcolonial moment’. The rest of the world is assumed to be external to the world-historical processes selected for consideration and\, concretely\, colonial connections significant to the processes under discussion are erased. By silencing the colonial past within historical narratives of modernity central to the formation of the social sciences\, the conceptual architecture of disciplines themselves is called into question.\n\nGurminder K Bhambra is Professor of Sociology at the University of Warwick. For the academic year 2014-15\, she was Visiting Fellow in the Department of Sociology\, Princeton University and Visitor at the Institute for Advanced Study\, Princeton.

Every such inquiry is guided by some concept of what ‘language’ is. Sharpening the core question – what is language? – and paying close attention to the basic property of the language faculty and its biological foundations makes it clear how linguistics is firmly positioned within the cognitive sciences. Here we will show how recent developments in generative grammar\, taking language as a computational cognitive mechanism seriously\, allow us to address issues left unexplained in the increasingly popular surface-oriented approaches to language.\"\n\nLink to the article can be found below.

Through these files\, a remarkable human drama unfolds—not just of life under a communist regime but of the courageous artistry that thrived in spite of that oppression.\n\nTheatre of the Eighth Day (Teatr Ósmego Dnia) was founded in 1964 and soon became one of the most significant alternative student theatre troupes in Poland. Its name derives from the Polish poet K.I. Galczynski\, who wrote that “On the seventh day\, the Lord God rested\, and on the eighth\, He created theatre.” Influenced mostly by the work of Grotowski\, the group developed their own acting method and approach to creating performances through group improvisation. For 25 years and despite constant surveillance by the secret police and government censorship\, Theatre of the Eighth Day managed to create some of the most important works for the Polish stage. By 1985\, most of the group had left the country and the Theatre remained in exile until 1989\, returning to Poland at the invitation of the first non-communist Minister of Culture. Since the collapse of the Communist regime\, the company\, which is based in Poznan\, continues to be recognized as a leader among Polish alternative theatres. \n\nRELATED EVENT: On Monday\, March 21 at 5:30 pm\, Ewa Wójciak\, Theatre of the Eighth Day director\, will deliver the Annual Copernicus Lecture\, “Breaking Boundaries before and after Censorship: A Personal Story of When and How You Should Say No.”\n\nThis residency is part of a semester-long series on Polish Theatre.\n\nSponsors: U-M’s Copernicus Program in Polish Studies\, Department of Theatre & Drama\, Third Century Initiative\; Culture.pl.

David Fricke of Rolling Stone describes them as “a quartet with a rich line in acoustic textures and chamber-rock dynamics.” The band’s sound\, with classical strings\, tight vocal arrangements\, bluegrass and rock instrumentation\, and smart lyricism\, is the product of complete collaboration among the four close friends. The group has no frontman\; instead\, lead vocals are traded from moment to moment\, and each song features a new combination of instruments and textures\, pulling heavily from folk\, retro-pop\, barbershop\, and chamber music. The music Darlingside plays is serious\, cinematic\, and deeply moving. Darlingside has recently been the subject of features on NPR's World Cafe and in Paste magazine\, and their most recent local show is the 2016 Ann Arbor Folk Festival appearance in January. Songwriter and harmonica player P.M. Buys is special guest.

Through these files\, a remarkable human drama unfolds—not just of life under a communist regime but of the courageous artistry that thrived in spite of that oppression.\n\nTheatre of the Eighth Day (Teatr Ósmego Dnia) was founded in 1964 and soon became one of the most significant alternative student theatre troupes in Poland. Its name derives from the Polish poet K.I. Galczynski\, who wrote that “On the seventh day\, the Lord God rested\, and on the eighth\, He created theatre.” Influenced mostly by the work of Grotowski\, the group developed their own acting method and approach to creating performances through group improvisation. For 25 years and despite constant surveillance by the secret police and government censorship\, Theatre of the Eighth Day managed to create some of the most important works for the Polish stage. By 1985\, most of the group had left the country and the Theatre remained in exile until 1989\, returning to Poland at the invitation of the first non-communist Minister of Culture. Since the collapse of the Communist regime\, the company\, which is based in Poznan\, continues to be recognized as a leader among Polish alternative theatres. \n\nRELATED EVENT: On Monday\, March 21 at 5:30 pm\, Ewa Wójciak\, Theatre of the Eighth Day director\, will deliver the Annual Copernicus Lecture\, “Breaking Boundaries before and after Censorship: A Personal Story of When and How You Should Say No.”\n\nThis residency is part of a semester-long series on Polish Theatre.\n\nSponsors: U-M’s Copernicus Program in Polish Studies\, Department of Theatre & Drama\, Third Century Initiative\; Culture.pl.

The remaining 95% is made up of a recipe of 25% dark matter and 70% dark energy\, both nonluminous components whose nature remains a mystery. Professor Freese will recount the hunt for dark matter\, from the discoveries of visionary scientists like Fritz Zwicky\, the Swiss astronomer who coined the term \"dark matter\" in 1933\, to the deluge of data today from underground laboratories\, satellites in space\, and the Large Hadron Collider. She will provide an overview of this cosmic cocktail\, including the evidence for the existence of dark matter in galaxies. Many cosmologists believe we are on the verge of solving this mystery\, and this talk will provide the foundation needed to fully fathom this epochal moment in humankind's quest to understand the Universe.\n\nAll talks are free and refreshments will be served.

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 UID:29456-3120373@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29456 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Art,Exhibition,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160309T141313 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160319T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160319T160000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Iron Chef Competition DESCRIPTION:Do you have what it takes to be U-M’s next Iron Chef?

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.

DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the 54th Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Ernst Karel will present his collaborative project Ah humanity! at the Work Gallery\, 306 S State St\, Ann Arbor\, from March 15 - April 1. Ah humanity! was created by Karel in conjunction with Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing- Taylor.\n\nAn installation for video and four-channel audio\, Ah humanity! reflects on the fragility and folly of humanity in the age of the Anthropocene. Taking the 3/11/11 disaster of Fukushima as its point of departure\, it evokes an apocalyptic vision of modernity\, and our predilection for historical amnesia and futuristic flights of fancy. The images were shot on a telephone through a handheld telescope\, at once close to and far from its subject\, while the audio composition combines empty excerpts from Japanese genbaku and related film soundtracks\, audio recordings from seismic laboratories\, and location sound. He will present a talk about the work at the gallery at 3pm on Thursday\, March 17th.

Kitty has a Jamaican uncle named Bunny. Jack's babysitter was Tiny Tim. So it was inevitable the two would meet at an arts high school\, fall in love and spend the rest of their lives making music and art together. Maybe we should explain. Kitty's uncle is Bunny Wailer—you know\, of Bob Marley and the Wailers fame? So music is literally in her blood. She grew up listening to a healthy blend of reggae\, rap\, and R&B. At a young age Jack discovered his vaudevillian great grandfather's phonograph record collection and spent his childhood listening to cats like Bing Crosby\, Al Jolson\, and Rudy Vallee. As fate would have it\, oddball ukulele legend Tiny Tim moved in next door to the Norton household and somehow became Jack's babysitter. Seriously. That rich musical stew forms the blend of Jack and Kitty's Emmy Award winning artistic approach. It's organic and acoustic. It's laid-back with positive vibes that appeal to all ages. The \"all ages appeal\" comes from the years Jack and Kitty spent as co-creators and co-stars of the hit preschool kids' television series \"The Zinghoppers Show\,\" which currently airs on over 150 PBS member stations nationwide and has been nominated for six Emmy Awards. An average of five million families see Jack and Kitty every day—time to come see them in person!

His distinctive style of artistic expression captured the spirit of civil rights and black pride.\n\nAs an artist and educator\, Lockard was a mentor to many on the University of Michigan campus and beyond.

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.

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.

Tonight's \"acoustic living room\" show offers a rare chance for an up-close encounter with an icon of country music.
