SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Guynecology: Men\, Medical Knowledge\, and Reproduction
DESCRIPTION:Medical researchers have been making headlines with a surprising series of findings about men and reproduction. It turns out that the health status of men’s bodies prior to conception can directly affect the health of their children. As a result\, many of the warnings that women receive about pregnancy - regarding their age and watching what they eat\, drink\, and smoke - also apply to men during the three months that sperm develops inside their bodies. The average American man does not know any of this because basic medical knowledge about the effects of men’s bodily health on reproductive outcomes has only recently begun to be produced. This lack of knowledge is only made more glaring when one thinks of the enormous efforts to understand and treat women’s reproductive bodies over the past 150 years. This begs the question: Why did it take so long for researchers to begin asking basic questions about how men matter for reproduction?\n\nRene Almeling is Associate Professor of Sociology and Public Health at Yale University with her area of interests in gender and medicine. Using a range of historical\, qualitative\, and quantitative methods\, Rene examines questions about how biological bodies and cultural norms interact to influence scientific knowledge\, medical markets\, and individual experiences. Her first book\, Sex Cells: The Medical Market for Eggs and Sperm (University of California Press\, 2011)\, received awards from the American Sociological Association and the American Anthropological Association. In 2013\, she received the Arthur Greer Memorial Prize for Outstanding Scholarly Research at Yale.\n\nThis talk is presented by IRWG's Feminist Science Studies Program.

Many independent game developers stretch the definition of what a game can be and create games that blur the boundaries between art and traditional entertainment.\n\nThe games in this exhibition—all created by individual or small groups of developers—will lead you into realms of sound and beauty\, or provoke reflection on the human condition\, or entertain you with innovative takes on established game genres—or perhaps all of the above at once!\n\nThis is a hands-on exhibition. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Shakespeare on Page and Stage: A Celebration
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit is a historical journey through different versions of Shakespeare’s plays as they were edited for publication or interpreted  for the stage. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Accent Elimination
DESCRIPTION:About Accent Elimination\n\nNina Katchadourian’s work Accent Elimination\, the last installation in the Institute’s Year of Conversions\, meanders and parses through our notions of identity. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fellow Fellows
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Fellow Fellows\"\, the Architecture Fellows Presentation and Exhibition Opening. \n\nThe exhibition of projects of the 2015-2016 Architecture Fellows opens on Wednesday\, March 23 and runs through the end of the Winter term (May 2). The Fellows will present their projects to the college at 6:00 p.m. in the Auditorium. The projects present their ongoing research during their yearlong fellowship. A reception will follow the presentations\, with exhibition on view in the college gallery.\n\n\nCyrus Peñarroyo - William Muschenheim Fellow\n\nBLDG_DRWG\nBLDG_DRWG recoups handwrought drawing effects and rearranges drawing conventions at the building scale in order to reorient the ways in which architecture is produced and consumed. Oscillating between analog methods (ink\, paint\, tape) and digital processes (scanning\, photoshop filtering\, milling)\, this project intensifies attributes of drawing otherwise lost in translation. A series of 1:1 investigations harnesses the potency of these effects and uses them to emphasize\, deemphasize\, or reconstitute existing architectural conditions. The results of these studies are reassembled in the gallery as a room––one fragment of an unfinished building––that speaks to the instability of its own representation.\n\nTeam members: Andrew Barkhouse\, Peter Watkins\nWith assistance from: Chris Campbell\, Samantha Eng\, Matt Culver\, Asa Peller\, Tafhim Rahman\n\n\nAshley Bigham - Walter B. Sanders Fellow\n\nSafety Not Guaranteed\nArchitecture is inseparable from defense. From its most primitive and revered “origins\,” architecture was rehearsed in environments of conflict. As an alternative to the term defense architecture\, a category which typically refers to forms and types (fortresses\, citadels\, bastions\, urban walls)\, this project proposes the idea of an architecture of defense. An architecture of defense sees all of architecture as a reaction to some measure of paranoia and studies the built environment to recognize measures and methods used to subdue these fears. Safety Not Guaranteed explores the architecture of paranoia through a series of design manipulations and exaggerations. Its setting is the network of suburbia and everyday domestic scenes—spaces most commonly associated with privacy\, safety\, and security and where fortification occurs on the scale of the front door\, the home\, the cul-de-sac\, and the neighborhood.\n\nTeam Members: Connor Brindza\, James Howe\, Neall Oliver\, Sasha Pfeiffer\, Mark Boynton\, Kamsy Anyachebelu\n\n\nDavid Eskenazi - Willard A. Oberdick Fellow\n\nFor the Trees\nAt first I noticed how naked the papers were\, since they didn’t seem to be acting like something else. I guess they were supposed to be models\, it was an architecture exhibit after all\, but they were missing all those things that point elsewhere: no doors\, no windows\, nothing that particularly looks like anything but itself. They were formed\, sure\, but that’s not really enough to point outwards. Or is it? Before you answer\, there was one more thing: some of the papers were near an enlarged duplicate. Actually\, maybe they were shrunken copies. It was a lot like that moment at the top of Runyon Canyon when you turn around and realize there’s an entire other\, slightly smaller Los Angeles behind you. Were you just looking at the original\, or the copy? I think the most interesting part is right afterwards when your focus shifts around you to the ground\, the dirt\, the trees.. all that stuff that frames what you’re looking at\, like the base of a model or scale figures or model trees. Come to think of it\, the papers did look like trees. But the resemblance is fleeting\, and now I’m certain the papers were in fact models pointing around at each other. Or were they in the background\, acting like a frame for something else\, something that wasn’t there?\n\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibit:On the Trail of Wonder: Selections from the Collection of Rolf Sapoli
DESCRIPTION:What makes an object wonderful? Is it an objective quality that can be measured and studied? Or is it an instinctive reaction\, welling up within the observer\, prompting us to ask: where did this come from? What does it mean? Is it real?\nNoted natural philosopher Rolf Sapoli has generously lent prized pieces from his world-renowned collection to the U-M Museum of Natural History for a short-term imposition. Objects rarely seen in a museum will be on display\, including a native Michigan koala\, Henry Ford’s pet dodo\, and a miniature manatee.  The items will be integrated with the permanent collections and interspersed throughout the galleries\, creating a trail of wonderful objects.  How many will you find?  The exhibit opens March 26 and runs through April 10\, though Mr. Sapoli tells us the best viewing will be on Friday\, April 1\, at 4:01 pm.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Microeconomics/IO
DESCRIPTION:We study the process of industry consolidation with endogenous mergers\, innovation\, and entry-exit. We develop an empirical model of a dynamic game with a random proposer of merger in each period\, and estimate it using data from the hard disk drive industry. We find mergers became a dominant mode of exit and sometimes generated productivity improvement (i.e.\, synergies). Our counterfactual simulations feature antitrust policy regimes with alternative tolerance levels of mergers\, and highlight a dynamic welfare tradeoff between the ex-post pro-competitive effects of blocking mergers and its negative side effects due to the destruction of ex-ante option values. The results suggest approximately four firms as the optimal regulatory threshold.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ah humanity!
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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Careers for Humanities PhDs
DESCRIPTION:While graduate education in the humanities remains geared primarily toward training future generations of scholars and college professors\, the role of the humanities PhD is also shifting. More students today enter graduate school with every intention of seeking post-graduation employment outside of academia. Conversely\, as Anthony Grafton has pointed out\, “in many organizations outside the academy\, a doctorate is a vital asset for those who want to rise above the entry level.” How\, and for what careers\, does graduate training in the humanities prepare today’s generation of young scholars?\n\nIn the context of ongoing discussions about graduate education and the academic job market in the humanities\, we will consider career paths and opportunities for humanities PhDs. Two U-M PhDs (German and SAC\, respectively)\, a current PhD candidate in History at MSU\, and the Head of Arts and Humanities at the U-M Library will share thoughts on graduate education\, career preparation\, skills and perspectives for a variety of trajectories after the PhD. Join us.\n\nLunch will be served\; please RSVP: http://goo.gl/forms/IM92cha489\n \nPanelists include:\nBeau D. Case\, Head of Arts and Humanities at U-M Library\nDavid Choberka\, PhD in German Studies at U-M\, now Mellon Academic Coordinator at UMMA\nAlex Galarza\, PhD candidate in History at MSU\, currently the Digital Liberal Arts Fellow for the Mellon Scholars Program at Hope College\nKristy Rawson\, PhD in Screen Arts and Cultures at U-M\, now Assistant Director in Graduate Career Development at the University of Chicago\nJohannes von Moltke\, Chair of the German Department\, will moderate.\n\nCo-Sponsored by: \nRackham Graduate School\nDepartment of Screen Arts & Cultures

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Fridays at Noon Lecture Series\, “Subversions of the American Century: The Surprising Challenges of 20th-Century Filipino Literature in Spanish”
DESCRIPTION:At the start of the 20th century\, radical Filipino operas in Spanish openly challenged the American rule over the Philippines that had begun in 1898 – and they did so with the American colonial governors sitting as star guests at the gala performances!  Nearly half a century later\, Filipinos secretly wrote novels in Spanish that protested the Japanese rule that had taken over the archipelago during World War II.  Yet despite this compelling tradition\, which also includes the only Asian science fiction novel in Spanish\, 20th century Filipino literature in Spanish is virtually unknown to exist.  This talk will discuss the rise and fall of the tradition and the many unexpected perspectives it voiced along the way.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi
DESCRIPTION:Carmel O'Shannessy will speak on \"Obstruent Discrimination and Production in Light Warlpiri.\"\n\nAbstract\nLight Warlpiri is a mixed language that combines nominal structure from Warlpiri with verbal structure from English and Kriol (an English-lexified creole) with innovations (O'Shannessy\, 2005\, 2013). The lexicon is drawn from both Warlpiri and English-lexified sources. Warlpiri has one series of obstruents and no fricatives or affricates (Hale\, 1977\; Laughren\, 1984) while Kriol (Baker\, Bundgaard-Nielsen\, & Graetzer\, 2014) and English have voiced and voiceless obstruents as well as fricatives and affricates. Kriol differs from English in also relying on duration to realise the stop contrast\, and in having a limited set of voiceless fricatives (/s ʃ f/\; /v/ is an allophone of /b/).\n\nHow do these systems combine in Light Warlpiri? I report on a task about English and Kriol-like obstruent discrimination by speakers of Light Warlpiri. The study tests whether speakers of Light Warlpiri behave in accordance with a phonological inventory like that of 1) Warlpiri\, resulting in difficulties discriminating all stop and fricative voicing distinctions\; 2) Kriol\, resulting in difficulties discriminating stop and fricative distinctions based on voicing\, but improved discrimination of stop-distinctions based on voicing and duration\, or 3) English\, resulting in good voicing-based stop and fricative discrimination. I then present preliminary analysis of VOT and constriction duration in stops from Light Warlpiri production data.

DESCRIPTION:This interdisciplinary conference is being held in conjunction with the international loan exhibition\, Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero: The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology (February 19–May 15\, 2016).\n\nThe conference will expand and complicate our perception of Roman luxury (luxuria) associated in the ancient literary record with the moral decline of elite Romans who lived lives of leisure in their lavishly adorned houses and villas. Recent research at Oplontis and other sites indicates that this reductive view is ripe for reassessment.\n\nSee conference program for details.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Science\, Art\, and Spirituality
DESCRIPTION:Science\, Art\, and Spirituality examines the interplay of humanity's attempts to understand its existence through its rational (scientific)\, aesthetic (artistic)\, and transcendent (spiritual) faculties. These three great human enterprises have marked our progress as a species from the early glimmerings of prehistoric cave paintings to the Hubble Space Telescope. The long path from one to the other has been blazed by such pioneers as Pythagoras\, Da Vinci\, Copernicus\, Spinoza\, Newton\, Luther\, Jefferson\, Faraday\, Darwin\, Cezanne\, Einstein\, and Le Maître - just to name a few. We will search historical records for the patterns that connect and drive our historical imaginations forward. Instructor: Michael Kapetan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Energy & Environmental Economics
DESCRIPTION:​Abstract: The standard approach to recovering the cost of electricity provision is through postpaid metering with monthly bills for consumption already incurred. These bills represent a substantial share of income for poor customers\, and vary unpredictably from month to month. For poor\, liquidity constrained customers\, finding resources to pay these monthly bills therefore presents a major challenge. If unable to pay\, customers face disconnection\, the utility loses revenue\, and the service provision model is undermined. A possible solution to this problem is prepaid metering\, in which customers buy electricity upfront and use it until the prepaid amount is consumed. We partner with the City of Cape Town to examine customer responses to prepaid electricity metering. Approximately 2200 postpaid customers were involuntarily assigned to receive a prepaid meter\, with exogenous variation in the timing of the switch. We first establish the impact of prepaid metering on electricity use\, which falls by about 10 percent and remains lower for the first year after the switch. Larger proportional reductions from customers with larger outstanding balances and those with a history of paying bills late. We observe no within-household spillovers to water use\, though the likelihood that other bills\, including water\, are paid late increases substantially. The overall impact on revenue to the utility is mixed\, since the greatest reductions come from revenue-generating portions of the increasing block tariff schedule. We conclude with a discussion of implications for revenue and also for customer welfare.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:​Abstract: The standard approach to recovering the cost of electricity provision is through postpaid metering with monthly bills for consumption already incurred. These bills represent a substantial share of income for poor customers\, and vary unpredictably from month to month. For poor\, liquidity constrained customers\, finding resources to pay these monthly bills therefore presents a major challenge. If unable to pay\, customers face disconnection\, the utility loses revenue\, and the service provision model is undermined. A possible solution to this problem is prepaid metering\, in which customers buy electricity upfront and use it until the prepaid amount is consumed. We partner with the City of Cape Town to examine customer responses to prepaid electricity metering. Approximately 2200 postpaid customers were involuntarily assigned to receive a prepaid meter\, with exogenous variation in the timing of the switch. We first establish the impact of prepaid metering on electricity use\, which falls by about 10 percent and remains lower for the first year after the switch. Larger proportional reductions from customers with larger outstanding balances and those with a history of paying bills late. We observe no within-household spillovers to water use\, though the likelihood that other bills\, including water\, are paid late increases substantially. The overall impact on revenue to the utility is mixed\, since the greatest reductions come from revenue-generating portions of the increasing block tariff schedule. We conclude with a discussion of implications for revenue and also for customer welfare.

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SoConDi
DESCRIPTION:Sandhya Narayanan will speak on \"Verb Placement and Word Order Variation in Quechua: Preliminary Investigations.\"\n\nThis presentation will present some preliminary investigations in the distribution of verb placement and word order variation in Puno Quechua. This investigation is part of a larger project looking at contact induced effect of long-term Quechua-Aymara contact in Puno\, Peru\, focusing primarily on the variations and changes that have affected word order\, and more specifically\, location of the verb in Quechua and Aymara sentences. My analysis departs from prior studies on word order in Quechua (and eventually) by focusing primarily on naturally occurring data that has come from public uses of Quechua in political and media domains. From my preliminary investigations\, I will present a typology of sentential and clausal verb placement in Quechua. Based on this typology\, I will also set the stage for the theoretical questions that will guide the remainder of my investigation into verb placement in Aymara\, and help track potential contact-induced changes in word order that are a result of long term Quechua-Aymara contact.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe say that a social choice rule is implementable with (small) transfers if one can design a mechanism whose set of equilibrium outcomes coincides with that specified by the rule but the mechanism allows for (small) ex post transfers among the players. We show in private-value environments that any incentive compatible rule is implementable with small transfers. We obtain this permissive implementation result by proposing a natural extension of Abreu and Matsushima (1994) to incomplete information environments. Furthermore\, in order to showcase the applicability of our results\, we relate them to the recent developments in implementation theory. Next we revisit the conjecture by Abreu and Matsushima (1994)\, who claim that the extension of Abreu and Matsushima (1994) may be possible by mimicking the argument of Abreu and Matsushima (1992b). To the extent that our mechanism is a natural extension of that of Abreu and Matsushima (1994)\, we show by example that their conjecture is not unconditionally warranted to cover fully interdependent-value environments. We therefore identify a condition under which our results can be extended to interdependent-value environments and tightly connect this identified condition to the notion of strategic distinguishability due to Bergemann and Morris (2009b).

DESCRIPTION:Tropical landscape is everything but stable. We are studying a number of drastic landscape changes that have occurred in the tropics over the past 140 million years and how they have influcence the extinction and origination of tropical biotas:   from the extreme effects of global warming during the early Cenozoic to the global cooling of the Pliocene\; from the lifting the Andes mountains to the creation of savannas\; from periods with low levels of CO2 to events with extreme high levels of CO2. We use the geological\, fossil and DNA records to answer these questions.

DESCRIPTION:This paper is an attempt to understand music theory from the perspective of written and sounding media. We will examine three radically different music-theoretical practices\, which operate with different forms of written notation\, different musical instruments\, and with surprisingly different purposes in mind: the monochord-based theory of Franchises Gaffurius (1518)\, the siren-based theory of Wilhelm Opelt (1834)\, and the piano-and-score based theory commonly practiced in our age.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:John Dinkeloo Memorial Lecture: David Adjaye
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...the John Dinkeloo Memorial Lecture by David Adjaye. \n\nDavid Adjaye OBE is recognized as a leading architect of his generation. Adjaye was born in Tanzania to Ghanaian parents and his influences range from contemporary art\, music and science to African art forms and the civic life of cities. In 1994 he set up his first office\, where his ingenious use of materials and his sculptural ability established him as an architect with an artist’s sensibility and vision.\n\nHe reformed his studio as Adjaye Associates in 2000 and immediately won several prestigious commissions. In Oslo he designed the Nobel Peace Centre in the shell of a disused railway station (completed in 2005). In London his design for the Whitechapel Idea Store pioneered a new approach to the provision of information services (2005). Later projects in London included the Stephen Lawrence Centre\, with teaching and community spaces (2007)\, Rivington Place\, an exhibition venue and resource centre (2007)\, and the Bernie Grant Centre for the performing arts (2007). Adjaye Associates’ largest completed project to date is the £160 million Moscow School of Management Skolkovo (2010). \n\nAdjaye Associates now has four international offices\, with projects throughout the world. These include a shopping and cultural complex in Beirut (ongoing)\, a concept store in Lagos (2014)\, a new headquarters building for the International Finance Corporation in Dakar (ongoing) and a hospital in Rwanda (ongoing).\n\nAdjaye frequently collaborates with contemporary artists on art and installation projects. Examples include The Upper Room\, with thirteen paintings by Chris Ofili (2002)\, Within Reach\, a second installation with Ofili in the British pavilion at the Venice Biennale (2003)\, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art for the 21st Century Pavilion that was designed to show a projection work by Olafur Eliasson\, Your Black Horizon\, at the 2005 Venice Biennale. The Upper Room is now in the permanent collection of Tate Britain. Adjaye is now collaborating with Okwui Enwezor on the design of the forthcoming 56th Venice Art Biennale.\n\nAdjaye has taught at the Royal College of Art\, where he had previously studied\, and at the Architectural Association School in London\, and has held distinguished professorships at the universities of Pennsylvania\, Yale and Princeton. He is currently the John C. Portman Design Critic in Architecture at Harvard. He was awarded the OBE for services to architecture in 2007\, received the Design Miami/ Year of the Artist title in 2011\, the Wall Street Journal Innovator Award in 2013 and the W.E.B. Du Bois medal from Harvard University.\n\nThe material from Adjaye’s ten-year study of the capital cities of Africa was shown in Urban Africa\, an exhibition at the Design Museum\, London (2010) and published as African Metropolitan Architecture (New York\, 2011\, and as Adjaye Africa Architecture\, London\, 2011). He was the artistic director of GEO-graphics: A map of art practices in Africa\, past and present\, a major exhibition at the Centre for Fine Arts\, Brussels (2010). The last exhibition of his architectural work\, David Adjaye: Output\, was held at Gallery MA\, Tokyo (2010) and he is now collaborating with Haus der Kunst in Munich and the Art Institute of Chicago on a comprehensive retrospective exhibition\, which will open in 2015.\n\nThe John Dinkeloo Memorial Lecture was established to recognize John Dinkeloo's extraordinary contributions to architecture\, to honor his distinguished professional work and to pay tribute to this highly respected alumnus of the Architecture Program at the University of Michigan.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Pompeii’s Great Project: New Life for the Dead City
DESCRIPTION:Since 2014\, Professor Osanna has been in charge of Pompeii\, one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. Pompeii was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Large scale excavations began in the 18th century\, and since then\, Pompeii has been a popular destination for tourists and an invaluable source of information about ancient Roman life. The site now attracts millions of visitors each year.\n\nThe ancient ruins of Pompeii have been subject to increasing deterioration as a result of centuries of exposure to the elements and to wear and tear caused by visitors.\n\nProfessor Osanna spearheads the ongoing Grande Progetto Pompei (the Great Pompeii Project)—an enormous undertaking in which teams of architects\, skilled workers\, restorers and archaeologists use the latest technologies to manage ongoing research\, conservation\, restoration\, and infrastructure at Pompeii. As a result of this impressive project\, more of Pompeii than ever before is open to the public. This project is the subject of his lecture.\n\nA Professor of Classical Archaeology at the University of Basilicata\, and Professor of Classical Archaeology at the University of Naples – Federico II\, Professor Osanna was educated at the University of Perugia and the University of San Marino. He has directed numerous excavations in Europe at ancient sites including Satriano\, Siris and Herakleia\, Alesia\, and Gabii. He is an expert on Archaic and Iron Age Italy\, on Greek colonization\, and on cultural interactions in Italy.\n\nThis lecture and the conference\, \"Reframing Roman Luxury\"\, is sponsored by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, the Institute for the Humanities\, the Departments of Classical Studies and History of Art\, the Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology\, the Interdepartmental Program in Greek and Roman History\, and an anonymous donor.\n\nThe lecture is free and open to the public.

DESCRIPTION:This interdisciplinary conference is being held in conjunction with the international loan exhibition\, Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero: The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology (February 19–May 15\, 2016).\n\nThe conference will expand and complicate our perception of Roman luxury (luxuria) associated in the ancient literary record with the moral decline of elite Romans who lived lives of leisure in their lavishly adorned houses and villas. Recent research at Oplontis and other sites indicates that this reductive view is ripe for reassessment.\n\nSee conference program for details.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Film Screenings: History and Culture in Chinese and Greek Film
DESCRIPTION:The U-M Confucius Institute and Modern Greek Program at the Department of Classical Studies present its fourth joint exploration of modern Chinese and Greek cultures\, comparing these two countries’ rich cultures and histories in the global context. This unique collaboration is to compare the ways contemporary Chinese and Greeks engage with their respective histories\, cultures\, performing arts\, and films. This year we will discuss “History and Culture in Chinese and Greek Film.” In conjunction with the double lectures on March 31st by Professor Jing Zhang and Vassiliki Rapti\, two film screenings will be held. There will be a brief introduction for each film before the screening begins.\n\n6:00 – 8:10 pm\, \"Dearest\" (2014)\, Directed by Peter Chen. 130 min.\n\nFollowing years of unrelenting search\, Tian Wenjun and ex-wife Lu Xiaojuan finally locate their abducted son in a remote village. After the boy was violently taken away from the village\, the abductor’s widow Li Hongqin— the boy’s foster mother — also loses her foster daughter to a state-owned orphanage in Shenzhen Heartbroken\, Li goes on a lone but determined journey to get her daughter back. The movie was based on a real life story of a father who used social media to find his missing boy. Courtesy of Wikipedia. https://goo.gl/T5vreq\n\n8:10 – 9:10 pm\, \"The Aegean in the Words of the Poets\" (2003)\, Directed by Loukia Rikaki. 61 min.\n\nA cinematic voyage based on the words of travel writers and poets from around the world who visited and wrote about the Aegean archipelago over the centuries. Images from most of the Aegean islands and the sea that links them. These texts blend poems and records of journeys from most of the writers who visited the Aegean over the centuries\, and who felt compelled to share the emotions the archipelago inspired in them. We are confronted with vivid descriptions of those same emotions which the Aegean triggers in visitors today. Apart from their literary revelations\, these texts  weave a complex tissue of travellers’ impressions of the Aegean over the centuries. Different opinions \,meanings and formats blend into a common experience of the archipelago through several languages.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Winteractive: The Art of Video Games
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for a game to be art? Many independent game developers stretch the definition of what a game can be and create games that blur the boundaries between art and traditional entertainment.\n\nThe games in this exhibition—all created by individual or small groups of developers—will lead you into realms of sound and beauty\, or provoke reflection on the human condition\, or entertain you with innovative takes on established game genres—or perhaps all of the above at once!\n\nThis is a hands-on exhibition. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Reframing Roman Luxury
DESCRIPTION:This interdisciplinary conference is being held in conjunction with the international loan exhibition\, Leisure and Luxury in the Age of Nero: The Villas of Oplontis near Pompeii at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology (February 19–May 15\, 2016).\n\nThe conference will expand and complicate our perception of Roman luxury (luxuria) associated in the ancient literary record with the moral decline of elite Romans who lived lives of leisure in their lavishly adorned houses and villas. Recent research at Oplontis and other sites indicates that this reductive view is ripe for reassessment.\n\nSee conference program for details.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fellow Fellows
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Fellow Fellows\"\, the Architecture Fellows Presentation and Exhibition Opening. \n\nThe exhibition of projects of the 2015-2016 Architecture Fellows opens on Wednesday\, March 23 and runs through the end of the Winter term (May 2). The Fellows will present their projects to the college at 6:00 p.m. in the Auditorium. The projects present their ongoing research during their yearlong fellowship. A reception will follow the presentations\, with exhibition on view in the college gallery.\n\n\nCyrus Peñarroyo - William Muschenheim Fellow\n\nBLDG_DRWG\nBLDG_DRWG recoups handwrought drawing effects and rearranges drawing conventions at the building scale in order to reorient the ways in which architecture is produced and consumed. Oscillating between analog methods (ink\, paint\, tape) and digital processes (scanning\, photoshop filtering\, milling)\, this project intensifies attributes of drawing otherwise lost in translation. A series of 1:1 investigations harnesses the potency of these effects and uses them to emphasize\, deemphasize\, or reconstitute existing architectural conditions. The results of these studies are reassembled in the gallery as a room––one fragment of an unfinished building––that speaks to the instability of its own representation.\n\nTeam members: Andrew Barkhouse\, Peter Watkins\nWith assistance from: Chris Campbell\, Samantha Eng\, Matt Culver\, Asa Peller\, Tafhim Rahman\n\n\nAshley Bigham - Walter B. Sanders Fellow\n\nSafety Not Guaranteed\nArchitecture is inseparable from defense. From its most primitive and revered “origins\,” architecture was rehearsed in environments of conflict. As an alternative to the term defense architecture\, a category which typically refers to forms and types (fortresses\, citadels\, bastions\, urban walls)\, this project proposes the idea of an architecture of defense. An architecture of defense sees all of architecture as a reaction to some measure of paranoia and studies the built environment to recognize measures and methods used to subdue these fears. Safety Not Guaranteed explores the architecture of paranoia through a series of design manipulations and exaggerations. Its setting is the network of suburbia and everyday domestic scenes—spaces most commonly associated with privacy\, safety\, and security and where fortification occurs on the scale of the front door\, the home\, the cul-de-sac\, and the neighborhood.\n\nTeam Members: Connor Brindza\, James Howe\, Neall Oliver\, Sasha Pfeiffer\, Mark Boynton\, Kamsy Anyachebelu\n\n\nDavid Eskenazi - Willard A. Oberdick Fellow\n\nFor the Trees\nAt first I noticed how naked the papers were\, since they didn’t seem to be acting like something else. I guess they were supposed to be models\, it was an architecture exhibit after all\, but they were missing all those things that point elsewhere: no doors\, no windows\, nothing that particularly looks like anything but itself. They were formed\, sure\, but that’s not really enough to point outwards. Or is it? Before you answer\, there was one more thing: some of the papers were near an enlarged duplicate. Actually\, maybe they were shrunken copies. It was a lot like that moment at the top of Runyon Canyon when you turn around and realize there’s an entire other\, slightly smaller Los Angeles behind you. Were you just looking at the original\, or the copy? I think the most interesting part is right afterwards when your focus shifts around you to the ground\, the dirt\, the trees.. all that stuff that frames what you’re looking at\, like the base of a model or scale figures or model trees. Come to think of it\, the papers did look like trees. But the resemblance is fleeting\, and now I’m certain the papers were in fact models pointing around at each other. Or were they in the background\, acting like a frame for something else\, something that wasn’t there?\n\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibit:On the Trail of Wonder: Selections from the Collection of Rolf Sapoli
DESCRIPTION:What makes an object wonderful? Is it an objective quality that can be measured and studied? Or is it an instinctive reaction\, welling up within the observer\, prompting us to ask: where did this come from? What does it mean? Is it real?\nNoted natural philosopher Rolf Sapoli has generously lent prized pieces from his world-renowned collection to the U-M Museum of Natural History for a short-term imposition. Objects rarely seen in a museum will be on display\, including a native Michigan koala\, Henry Ford’s pet dodo\, and a miniature manatee.  The items will be integrated with the permanent collections and interspersed throughout the galleries\, creating a trail of wonderful objects.  How many will you find?  The exhibit opens March 26 and runs through April 10\, though Mr. Sapoli tells us the best viewing will be on Friday\, April 1\, at 4:01 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Hidden Worlds: The Universe of Pollen Revealed in Large-scale Ceramic Sculptures
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the beautiful forms that pollen takes\, the amazing power of these tiny grains of life\, and the challenges that honeybees and pollinators face\, U-M Stamps School of Art & Design professor Susan Crowell fashioned large-scale ceramic sculptures of pollen. The sculptures will be displayed in the conservatory at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. As part of the exhibit Crowell has also created three sculptures of  pollen collected from the 80-year-old agave that bloomed at Matthaei in 2014. The agave pollen sculptures are based on scanning electron microscope images of the pollen taken by the U-M Hospitals imaging lab.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:44th Annual Dance for Mother Earth Powwow
DESCRIPTION:The Powwow was started in 1972 by a community group\, American Indians at the University of Michigan (AIUM)\, at that time primarily a staff\, faculty and graduate student group. The Native American Student Association (NASA) which primarily was an undergraduate group was formed in 1976\, at which time they began helping out with the Powwow as well. \n\nTraditionally\, every year NASA would evolve into a group whose emphasis was planning the powwow. This group consisted of community members and students (undergraduate and graduate students alike) who work year-round on making Powwow a success by fundraising and publicizing for the up-coming year. Each year\, the Powwow grew to be bigger and better and it was then that the Powwow was brought under U of M's financial umbrella which was in 1982.\n\nFor the past three years\, we have held the powwow in Skyline High School with assistance and collaboration with the EMU's NASO. \nThe Powwow Committee has been privileged to work with many coordinators since its beginning. These coordinators have helped the Powwow's attendance increase dramatically\, strengthened the Powwow's ties to the local community\, expanded the educational aspect of its mission and aided the committee in many ways.\n\nFree M-Bus shuttle for students: Satuday & Sunday \nBegins at 11:30 am\nEnds at 8:00 pm\n\nIf you are an Alumnus/a of NASA please reconnect by emailing nasa.exec@umich.edu to see what we are doing these days!

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

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

DESCRIPTION:This exhibit\, on display in the Fine Arts Library\, honors the life and work of the late U-M Professor Jon Onye Lockard\, who was instrumental in the development of African-American arts and culture in Michigan.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Performance:Penny and Sparrow
DESCRIPTION:Penny and Sparrow are Andy Baxter and Kyle Jahnke\, from the heart of Texas. Previously roommates\, the duo makes music influenced by The Swell Season\, Bon Iver\, Mumford and Sons\, and others. They also love musicals\, and you can hear that in the way their music effortlessly draws you in with their rich harmonies and deep\, moving lyrics. Penny & Sparrow make music with a stripped-down\, return-to-basics approach that yields extraordinary results\, without artifice or gimmicks. Other influences include the books The Fault in Our Stars and A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. The most recent Penny & Sparrow album\, \"Struggle Pretty\,\" was released independently and landed at No. 2 on the iTunes sales chart and in Billboard magazine's top 50 at No. 49. Ear to the Ground Music praises this duo for “raw\, wonderful\, fierce talent ... It’s evident throughout the album that they are conveying more than words and ideas\; they are conveying genuine heartfelt emotions.” Nashville songwriter Corey Kilgannon opens.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Winteractive: The Art of Video Games
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for a game to be art? Many independent game developers stretch the definition of what a game can be and create games that blur the boundaries between art and traditional entertainment.\n\nThe games in this exhibition—all created by individual or small groups of developers—will lead you into realms of sound and beauty\, or provoke reflection on the human condition\, or entertain you with innovative takes on established game genres—or perhaps all of the above at once!\n\nThis is a hands-on exhibition. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fellow Fellows
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Fellow Fellows\"\, the Architecture Fellows Presentation and Exhibition Opening. \n\nThe exhibition of projects of the 2015-2016 Architecture Fellows opens on Wednesday\, March 23 and runs through the end of the Winter term (May 2). The Fellows will present their projects to the college at 6:00 p.m. in the Auditorium. The projects present their ongoing research during their yearlong fellowship. A reception will follow the presentations\, with exhibition on view in the college gallery.\n\n\nCyrus Peñarroyo - William Muschenheim Fellow\n\nBLDG_DRWG\nBLDG_DRWG recoups handwrought drawing effects and rearranges drawing conventions at the building scale in order to reorient the ways in which architecture is produced and consumed. Oscillating between analog methods (ink\, paint\, tape) and digital processes (scanning\, photoshop filtering\, milling)\, this project intensifies attributes of drawing otherwise lost in translation. A series of 1:1 investigations harnesses the potency of these effects and uses them to emphasize\, deemphasize\, or reconstitute existing architectural conditions. The results of these studies are reassembled in the gallery as a room––one fragment of an unfinished building––that speaks to the instability of its own representation.\n\nTeam members: Andrew Barkhouse\, Peter Watkins\nWith assistance from: Chris Campbell\, Samantha Eng\, Matt Culver\, Asa Peller\, Tafhim Rahman\n\n\nAshley Bigham - Walter B. Sanders Fellow\n\nSafety Not Guaranteed\nArchitecture is inseparable from defense. From its most primitive and revered “origins\,” architecture was rehearsed in environments of conflict. As an alternative to the term defense architecture\, a category which typically refers to forms and types (fortresses\, citadels\, bastions\, urban walls)\, this project proposes the idea of an architecture of defense. An architecture of defense sees all of architecture as a reaction to some measure of paranoia and studies the built environment to recognize measures and methods used to subdue these fears. Safety Not Guaranteed explores the architecture of paranoia through a series of design manipulations and exaggerations. Its setting is the network of suburbia and everyday domestic scenes—spaces most commonly associated with privacy\, safety\, and security and where fortification occurs on the scale of the front door\, the home\, the cul-de-sac\, and the neighborhood.\n\nTeam Members: Connor Brindza\, James Howe\, Neall Oliver\, Sasha Pfeiffer\, Mark Boynton\, Kamsy Anyachebelu\n\n\nDavid Eskenazi - Willard A. Oberdick Fellow\n\nFor the Trees\nAt first I noticed how naked the papers were\, since they didn’t seem to be acting like something else. I guess they were supposed to be models\, it was an architecture exhibit after all\, but they were missing all those things that point elsewhere: no doors\, no windows\, nothing that particularly looks like anything but itself. They were formed\, sure\, but that’s not really enough to point outwards. Or is it? Before you answer\, there was one more thing: some of the papers were near an enlarged duplicate. Actually\, maybe they were shrunken copies. It was a lot like that moment at the top of Runyon Canyon when you turn around and realize there’s an entire other\, slightly smaller Los Angeles behind you. Were you just looking at the original\, or the copy? I think the most interesting part is right afterwards when your focus shifts around you to the ground\, the dirt\, the trees.. all that stuff that frames what you’re looking at\, like the base of a model or scale figures or model trees. Come to think of it\, the papers did look like trees. But the resemblance is fleeting\, and now I’m certain the papers were in fact models pointing around at each other. Or were they in the background\, acting like a frame for something else\, something that wasn’t there?\n\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

But if \"orthodox\" means \"standard amongst physicists\" then the orthodox interpretation is not orthodox at all: orthodoxy is something much more minimal\, from which the philosophers' orthodoxy is obtained by adding substantive metaphysical assumptions and by trying to clear up philosophical confusion in the physicists' approach. Since virtually no-one actually thinks the (philosophers') \"orthodox interpretation\" is any good as an interpretation of quantum mechanics\, it might be better to take the more minimal physics version as a starting point from which to formulate the measurement problem.\n\n4:40 - 6:00 pm\, Forum Hall\, Palmer Commons\nSir Anthony Leggett\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Physics)\n\"Realism versus quantum mechanics: implications of recent experiments\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:44th Annual Dance for Mother Earth Powwow
DESCRIPTION:The Powwow was started in 1972 by a community group\, American Indians at the University of Michigan (AIUM)\, at that time primarily a staff\, faculty and graduate student group. The Native American Student Association (NASA) which primarily was an undergraduate group was formed in 1976\, at which time they began helping out with the Powwow as well. \n\nTraditionally\, every year NASA would evolve into a group whose emphasis was planning the powwow. This group consisted of community members and students (undergraduate and graduate students alike) who work year-round on making Powwow a success by fundraising and publicizing for the up-coming year. Each year\, the Powwow grew to be bigger and better and it was then that the Powwow was brought under U of M's financial umbrella which was in 1982.\n\nFor the past three years\, we have held the powwow in Skyline High School with assistance and collaboration with the EMU's NASO. \nThe Powwow Committee has been privileged to work with many coordinators since its beginning. These coordinators have helped the Powwow's attendance increase dramatically\, strengthened the Powwow's ties to the local community\, expanded the educational aspect of its mission and aided the committee in many ways.\n\nFree M-Bus shuttle for students: Satuday & Sunday \nBegins at 11:30 am\nEnds at 8:00 pm\n\nIf you are an Alumnus/a of NASA please reconnect by emailing nasa.exec@umich.edu to see what we are doing these days!

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibit:On the Trail of Wonder: Selections from the Collection of Rolf Sapoli
DESCRIPTION:What makes an object wonderful? Is it an objective quality that can be measured and studied? Or is it an instinctive reaction\, welling up within the observer\, prompting us to ask: where did this come from? What does it mean? Is it real?\nNoted natural philosopher Rolf Sapoli has generously lent prized pieces from his world-renowned collection to the U-M Museum of Natural History for a short-term imposition. Objects rarely seen in a museum will be on display\, including a native Michigan koala\, Henry Ford’s pet dodo\, and a miniature manatee.  The items will be integrated with the permanent collections and interspersed throughout the galleries\, creating a trail of wonderful objects.  How many will you find?  The exhibit opens March 26 and runs through April 10\, though Mr. Sapoli tells us the best viewing will be on Friday\, April 1\, at 4:01 pm.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Performance:The Oh Hellos
DESCRIPTION:The Oh Hellos began in a cluttered bedroom\, where siblings Maggie and Tyler Heath (born and raised in southern Texas) recorded their self-titled EP in 2011. In the fall of 2012\, the sibling duo released their debut full-length record\, \"Through the Deep\, Dark Valley\,\" which they wrote\, recorded\, produced\, mixed\, and mastered themselves. Their second full-length album\, \"Dear Wormwood\,\" is a collection of songs inspired in part by C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters and Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind\, mythology\, folklore\, and apocalyptic literature. The album tells the story of a protagonist trapped in an abusive relationship\, by way of letters written to the antagonist. The music of the Oh Hellos is at times delicate\, intimate\, affectionate\; and at others soaring and towering and joyfully explosive. Their influences range from Fleet Foxes and Sufjan Stevens to the Middle East and the Muppets as they bend and blend styles and genres into a unique mixture of eclectic folk rock. This band made quite the splash at the 2016 Ann Arbor Folk Festival! The seven-piece North Carolina band The Collection opens.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Winteractive: The Art of Video Games
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for a game to be art? Many independent game developers stretch the definition of what a game can be and create games that blur the boundaries between art and traditional entertainment.\n\nThe games in this exhibition—all created by individual or small groups of developers—will lead you into realms of sound and beauty\, or provoke reflection on the human condition\, or entertain you with innovative takes on established game genres—or perhaps all of the above at once!\n\nThis is a hands-on exhibition. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Shakespeare on Page and Stage: A Celebration
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit is a historical journey through different versions of Shakespeare’s plays as they were edited for publication or interpreted  for the stage. 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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Accent Elimination
DESCRIPTION:About Accent Elimination\n\nNina Katchadourian’s work Accent Elimination\, the last installation in the Institute’s Year of Conversions\, meanders and parses through our notions of identity. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fellow Fellows
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Fellow Fellows\"\, the Architecture Fellows Presentation and Exhibition Opening. \n\nThe exhibition of projects of the 2015-2016 Architecture Fellows opens on Wednesday\, March 23 and runs through the end of the Winter term (May 2). The Fellows will present their projects to the college at 6:00 p.m. in the Auditorium. The projects present their ongoing research during their yearlong fellowship. A reception will follow the presentations\, with exhibition on view in the college gallery.\n\n\nCyrus Peñarroyo - William Muschenheim Fellow\n\nBLDG_DRWG\nBLDG_DRWG recoups handwrought drawing effects and rearranges drawing conventions at the building scale in order to reorient the ways in which architecture is produced and consumed. Oscillating between analog methods (ink\, paint\, tape) and digital processes (scanning\, photoshop filtering\, milling)\, this project intensifies attributes of drawing otherwise lost in translation. A series of 1:1 investigations harnesses the potency of these effects and uses them to emphasize\, deemphasize\, or reconstitute existing architectural conditions. The results of these studies are reassembled in the gallery as a room––one fragment of an unfinished building––that speaks to the instability of its own representation.\n\nTeam members: Andrew Barkhouse\, Peter Watkins\nWith assistance from: Chris Campbell\, Samantha Eng\, Matt Culver\, Asa Peller\, Tafhim Rahman\n\n\nAshley Bigham - Walter B. Sanders Fellow\n\nSafety Not Guaranteed\nArchitecture is inseparable from defense. From its most primitive and revered “origins\,” architecture was rehearsed in environments of conflict. As an alternative to the term defense architecture\, a category which typically refers to forms and types (fortresses\, citadels\, bastions\, urban walls)\, this project proposes the idea of an architecture of defense. An architecture of defense sees all of architecture as a reaction to some measure of paranoia and studies the built environment to recognize measures and methods used to subdue these fears. Safety Not Guaranteed explores the architecture of paranoia through a series of design manipulations and exaggerations. Its setting is the network of suburbia and everyday domestic scenes—spaces most commonly associated with privacy\, safety\, and security and where fortification occurs on the scale of the front door\, the home\, the cul-de-sac\, and the neighborhood.\n\nTeam Members: Connor Brindza\, James Howe\, Neall Oliver\, Sasha Pfeiffer\, Mark Boynton\, Kamsy Anyachebelu\n\n\nDavid Eskenazi - Willard A. Oberdick Fellow\n\nFor the Trees\nAt first I noticed how naked the papers were\, since they didn’t seem to be acting like something else. I guess they were supposed to be models\, it was an architecture exhibit after all\, but they were missing all those things that point elsewhere: no doors\, no windows\, nothing that particularly looks like anything but itself. They were formed\, sure\, but that’s not really enough to point outwards. Or is it? Before you answer\, there was one more thing: some of the papers were near an enlarged duplicate. Actually\, maybe they were shrunken copies. It was a lot like that moment at the top of Runyon Canyon when you turn around and realize there’s an entire other\, slightly smaller Los Angeles behind you. Were you just looking at the original\, or the copy? I think the most interesting part is right afterwards when your focus shifts around you to the ground\, the dirt\, the trees.. all that stuff that frames what you’re looking at\, like the base of a model or scale figures or model trees. Come to think of it\, the papers did look like trees. But the resemblance is fleeting\, and now I’m certain the papers were in fact models pointing around at each other. Or were they in the background\, acting like a frame for something else\, something that wasn’t there?\n\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibit:On the Trail of Wonder: Selections from the Collection of Rolf Sapoli
DESCRIPTION:What makes an object wonderful? Is it an objective quality that can be measured and studied? Or is it an instinctive reaction\, welling up within the observer\, prompting us to ask: where did this come from? What does it mean? Is it real?\nNoted natural philosopher Rolf Sapoli has generously lent prized pieces from his world-renowned collection to the U-M Museum of Natural History for a short-term imposition. Objects rarely seen in a museum will be on display\, including a native Michigan koala\, Henry Ford’s pet dodo\, and a miniature manatee.  The items will be integrated with the permanent collections and interspersed throughout the galleries\, creating a trail of wonderful objects.  How many will you find?  The exhibit opens March 26 and runs through April 10\, though Mr. Sapoli tells us the best viewing will be on Friday\, April 1\, at 4:01 pm.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Humanities Tools for Library Resources
DESCRIPTION:Hilde De Weerdt\, Professor of Chinese History at Leiden University\, reviews recent efforts to connect text databases\, biographical databases\, geographic information systems\, and tools generated from within the humanities community. She argues that connecting databases and tools\, open access as well as commercial\, is an important mission for researchers and librarians in Chinese Studies and one that has been ignored for too long.\n\nDe Weerdt says\,\n\"In the first part of the presentation I will briefly discuss the limitations of well-known textual databases in pre-twentieth century and modern Chinese Studies with regard to search functionality\, data discovery\, exportability\, and accessibility. Next I will demonstrate how customized humanities tools can help overcome many of these limitations\, using as an example the basic and new functionality of the MARKUS platform. I will conclude that the generation of humanities-specific platforms and tools is necessary for the development of Chinese Studies and compatible with the goals and premises of philological inquiry. I will also emphasize that the realization of resources and tools that conform with academic standards and research flows requires far more engagement from within the Chinese Studies community and closer collaboration between librarians\, computer scientists\, and humanities researchers and teachers.\"

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:IISS Graduate Symposium: Topics in Vernacular Islam
DESCRIPTION:As we envision it\, Vernacular Islam is every expression of Islam within the Islamicate world. The focus of our definition is on the domestic and functional—versus the rigid and standard—aspects of the term vernacular. Being a social and expressive faith\, there are no practices of Islam nor are there Muslim communities that do not fall under the umbrella of vernacular. Thinking about the vernacular for us also describes a phenomena in Muslim societies wherein particular Islamic expressions position themselves in relation to an imagined standard or orthodoxy on a social\, political\, economic\, and historical level. In the words of Tom Pepinsky\, “All Islam is vernacular Islam. All of it. Wahhabis and Salafis in the Arab Middle East are just as much products of particular historical moments and sociopolitical contexts as are other Sunni Muslims who don’t happen to speak a form of Arabic as their native language (to say nothing of Ibadis\, Ismailis\, Alevis\, etc.).”\n\nSpeaker Schedule:\n12:30 - 1:00 pm: Welcome and Keynote Address with Alexander Knysh\n1:00 - 1:30 pm: Emma Nolan-Thomas (U-M)\n1:30 - 2:00 pm: Dr. Philipp Bruckmayr (University of Vienna)\n2:00 - 2:15 pm: Break\n2:15 - 2:45 pm: Paul Love (U-M)\n2:45 - 3:15 pm: Jonathan Allen (University of Maryland\, College Park)\n3:15 - 3:45 pm: Sara Katz (U-M)\n3:45 - 4:30 pm: Q&A\nView speaker abstracts here: http://www.ii.umich.edu/isp/graduates/interdisciplinary-islamic-studies-seminar.html\n\nPlease refer any questions to IISScoordinators@umich.edu. \n\nThe Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar (IISS) is 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ending Gender and Imperial Violence: Palestine\, Beirut\, Chicago and Detroit
DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores the ways U.S.-led empire seeps into the lives and labor of feminist and queer activists of the Arab region and its diasporas. It focuses on the ways moments of intensive state violence\, have produced radical transformations within the analyses and visions of freedom among feminist and queer movements on the ground. Overall\, this lecture offers a transnational feminist and queer analysis of how manifestations of U.S. empire “over there” (in the Arab region) and “over here” (among Arab American communities) magnify each other and are moving parts of the same imperial present.\n\nNadine Naber is Associate Professor in Gender and Women's Studies and Asian American Studies at the University of Illinois\, Chicago. She is co-founder of the Arab and Muslim American Studies program at UM\, Ann Arbor\; author of Arab America: Gender\, Cultural Politics\, and Activism (NYU Press\, 2012)\; and co-editor of the Race and Arab Americans (Syracuse University Press\, 2008)\; Arab and Arab American Feminisms (Syracuse University Press\, 2010)\; and The Color of Violence (South End Press\, 2006).

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

SUMMARY:Performance:Film Screening: Mestiza Music
DESCRIPTION:Western classical music\, traditionally known for scores that go back as far as 1000 AD\, is a genre that is still being written today. Modern composers continue to develop new ways to present a style that is centuries old. Symphony orchestras are starting to make room for new instruments in their ensembles.\n \nFor one North American composer\, multi-cultural fusion within the classical world has become a passionate mission to create mestiza (mixed-race) music. Grammy-winning Peruvian-American composer Gabriela Lena Frank recently brought her unique music-making process to the University of Michigan for an experiment: After years of planning\, musicians with roots in Finland\, Korea\, China and the United States\, join three talented Ecuadorian panpipe players in Ann Arbor\, to premiere a new rendition of Mestiza Music. \n\nThe film is produced by WFYI-Indianapolis with support from the U-M Office of Research\, the School of Music\, Theater and Dance\, and the Residential College\, and filmed during a visiting artist residency at U-M in the fall of 2014. \n\nThe screening will be accompanied by a question and answer session with the composer Gabriela Lena Frank\, filmmaker Aric Hartvig and performers Andrew Jennings (violin) and Katri Ervamaa (cello). A reception to follow.\n\nWatch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8jldNI5NmA

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Queering the Ambiguity: Identity\, Entertainment\, and Politics in Chinese Popular Music
DESCRIPTION:Chinese popular music displays increasingly high levels of queer visuality. But visual productions of queer romance and eroticism here do not necessarily produce a political presence of gender\, sexuality\, or the queer. On the contrary\, the interventions of government in production and communication and of families in consumption and recontextualization produce its absence. This paradox creates an ambiguous social space where sameness and difference\, art and eroticism\, performance and performativity\, hetero- and homonormativity\, entertainment and politics are woven into a sophisticated network in which queers can make their political statements and opportunists can capitalize on these for publicity and popularity. The pursuit of stardom also seduces queer musicians to compromise through the entertainmentization of identity. This allows them to break into the mainstream market—on Sing My Song or The Voice of China—where their queerness is rendered as desexualized “difference” for purposes of sentimental spectacle. The ambiguous policy of “No Support\, No Oppression\, No Advocacy” for queer social movements seems to symbolize official permission for queer liberation in China\, and a number of queer songs have been released\, such as “Rainbow” and “Girls Love Girls.” But the dual logics of avant-gardism and commercialism in queer representation control the structure of ambiguity and maintain a heteronormative politics and social order beneath a flamboyant queer visuality. (Image: Disco-TECA on stage)\n\nAbout the speaker: \n\nQian Wang earned his PhD in 2007 from the Institute of Popular Music in the University of Liverpool (UK) and was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Sociology at Tsinghua University in China. His research focuses on Chinese popular music and its cultural scene in P.R. China. Looking at the redevelopment and transformation of Chinese popular music since the economic and political reform of 1979\, he analyzes its intertwined relationship with industrial progress and the stratification of Chinese society and writes on politics\, mass communication\, gender\, and sexuality. Currently\, he is a lecturer at Yibin University in China.\n\nThis presentation is co-sponsored by the Lesbian-Gay-Queer Research Initiative in the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Confucius Institute at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Silent Babel: Cinematic Multilingualism Beyond the Soundtrack
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Lisa Patti (Hobart and William Smith Colleges) and Tijana Mamula (John Cabot University) advocate the opening of film studies to a broader appreciation of the ways in which linguistic difference has shaped\, and continues to shape\, the medium's history. While most studies of the subject have explored linguistic difference as a largely audible phenomenon – manifested through polyglot dialogues\, or through the translation of monolingual dialogues for international audiences – this talk explores some of its unheard histories\, thus contributing to a new field of enquiry based on an attentiveness to multilingualism's work beyond the soundtrack.\n\n*Patti and Mamula are the editors of the forthcoming anthology The Multilingual Screen: New Reflections on Cinema and Linguistic Difference (Bloomsbury\, Spring 2016).\n\n*With generous cosponsorship from: the Department of Comparative Literature\, the Sheldon Cohn Fund in the Department of Screen Arts & Cultures\, the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures\, the Department of Linguistics\, the Department of History\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Department of American Culture\, the Institute for the Humanities\, the Rackham Graduate School\, and the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The non-obvious foundations of human thought
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture by Distinguished University Professor Susan A. Gelman\, followed by a reception.\n\nLecture Abstract:\nA hallmark of human cognition is the capacity to look beyond outward appearances to consider ideas that are non-obvious or abstract.  We see this from commonsense construals of experience (with ideas regarding germs\, ownership\, or fairness) to some of the most sophisticated concepts of our species (microscopic structure\, shape of the earth\, formal logic).  Where do such ideas come from\, and how do they develop?  Professor Gelman will review evidence that\, contrary to prevailing assumptions\, children's early thought is not wholly grounded in the tangible \"here-and-now\".  To the contrary\, young children readily consider hidden\, internal\, abstract entities in numerous domains of thought.  Gelman will discuss examples from categorization\, language\, and children's understanding of everyday experience. These findings have implications for the minds of children\, the social nature of cognition\, and the foundations of human thought.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Collaborative Feminist Scholarships and Activisms Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the varied histories of diverse feminist movements\, collaboration has been both charged with revolutionary potential and fraught with debilitating failure. In this roundtable\, we aim to delve deeply into this experience of collaboration: What makes collaborative projects so profoundly powerful\, yet so remarkably challenging? Is it possible to engage in a politics of collaboration that elides assimilation? How can we work together across boundaries of geographical location and social identity without obscuring the differences in experience and power that these borders produce?\n\n \n\nWe invite you to join us for this conversation with Amy Sara Carroll\, Amber DiPietra\, Katherine Gibson\, Petra Kuppers\, and Nadine Naber. Identifying as feminist scholars\, performance artists\, poets\, artist-activists (artivists)\, archivists\, educators\, bodyworkers\, and organizers\, and engaging in work in the fields of disability studies\, Arab-American studies\, Latin@ studies\, literary studies\, and economy and geography studies\, these presenters will lead us in sharing stories of collaboration\, discussing the value and influence of collaboration\, and strategizing about to how to engage in collaborative practices. \n\n\nSponsored by: Arab and Muslim American Studies and the Border Collective Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop

SUMMARY:Performance:Open Stage Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the organizers of The Ark's monthly Open Stage pick one or two artists who they feel have really honed their stuff and are ready for prime time. This year's Open Stage Showcase features Casey Harwood.  As a lifelong lover of good writing\, and good music\, Casey Harwood seeks to pen songs that are equal parts cerebral and personal\, with a bit of humor sprinkled in. Though he hails from the Pacific Northwest\, the past decade has carried him to New York\, Alaska\, Hawaii\, and many places in between by air\, sea\, and land (on both two wheels and four). Since beginning his Ph.D. in Naval Architecture at the U-M four years ago\, he has frequented The Ark’s open stage with guitar and ukulele in hand. Ed Scruggs is a familiar face on the local openmic scene.  He can be seen around the area almost any night of the week. He is best known for taking songs that you think you know and singing them in his own way. Ed's voice of soulful gravel is often compared to those ofHarry Chapin\, Tom Waits and Richie Havens.  As one DJ put it\, “He sings folk music with an attitude.” He will sing music of Paul Simon\, Joni Mitchell\, John Prine and many others.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Winteractive: The Art of Video Games
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for a game to be art? Many independent game developers stretch the definition of what a game can be and create games that blur the boundaries between art and traditional entertainment.\n\nThe games in this exhibition—all created by individual or small groups of developers—will lead you into realms of sound and beauty\, or provoke reflection on the human condition\, or entertain you with innovative takes on established game genres—or perhaps all of the above at once!\n\nThis is a hands-on exhibition. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Shakespeare on Page and Stage: A Celebration
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit is a historical journey through different versions of Shakespeare’s plays as they were edited for publication or interpreted  for the stage. 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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Accent Elimination
DESCRIPTION:About Accent Elimination\n\nNina Katchadourian’s work Accent Elimination\, the last installation in the Institute’s Year of Conversions\, meanders and parses through our notions of identity. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fellow Fellows
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Fellow Fellows\"\, the Architecture Fellows Presentation and Exhibition Opening. \n\nThe exhibition of projects of the 2015-2016 Architecture Fellows opens on Wednesday\, March 23 and runs through the end of the Winter term (May 2). The Fellows will present their projects to the college at 6:00 p.m. in the Auditorium. The projects present their ongoing research during their yearlong fellowship. A reception will follow the presentations\, with exhibition on view in the college gallery.\n\n\nCyrus Peñarroyo - William Muschenheim Fellow\n\nBLDG_DRWG\nBLDG_DRWG recoups handwrought drawing effects and rearranges drawing conventions at the building scale in order to reorient the ways in which architecture is produced and consumed. Oscillating between analog methods (ink\, paint\, tape) and digital processes (scanning\, photoshop filtering\, milling)\, this project intensifies attributes of drawing otherwise lost in translation. A series of 1:1 investigations harnesses the potency of these effects and uses them to emphasize\, deemphasize\, or reconstitute existing architectural conditions. The results of these studies are reassembled in the gallery as a room––one fragment of an unfinished building––that speaks to the instability of its own representation.\n\nTeam members: Andrew Barkhouse\, Peter Watkins\nWith assistance from: Chris Campbell\, Samantha Eng\, Matt Culver\, Asa Peller\, Tafhim Rahman\n\n\nAshley Bigham - Walter B. Sanders Fellow\n\nSafety Not Guaranteed\nArchitecture is inseparable from defense. From its most primitive and revered “origins\,” architecture was rehearsed in environments of conflict. As an alternative to the term defense architecture\, a category which typically refers to forms and types (fortresses\, citadels\, bastions\, urban walls)\, this project proposes the idea of an architecture of defense. An architecture of defense sees all of architecture as a reaction to some measure of paranoia and studies the built environment to recognize measures and methods used to subdue these fears. Safety Not Guaranteed explores the architecture of paranoia through a series of design manipulations and exaggerations. Its setting is the network of suburbia and everyday domestic scenes—spaces most commonly associated with privacy\, safety\, and security and where fortification occurs on the scale of the front door\, the home\, the cul-de-sac\, and the neighborhood.\n\nTeam Members: Connor Brindza\, James Howe\, Neall Oliver\, Sasha Pfeiffer\, Mark Boynton\, Kamsy Anyachebelu\n\n\nDavid Eskenazi - Willard A. Oberdick Fellow\n\nFor the Trees\nAt first I noticed how naked the papers were\, since they didn’t seem to be acting like something else. I guess they were supposed to be models\, it was an architecture exhibit after all\, but they were missing all those things that point elsewhere: no doors\, no windows\, nothing that particularly looks like anything but itself. They were formed\, sure\, but that’s not really enough to point outwards. Or is it? Before you answer\, there was one more thing: some of the papers were near an enlarged duplicate. Actually\, maybe they were shrunken copies. It was a lot like that moment at the top of Runyon Canyon when you turn around and realize there’s an entire other\, slightly smaller Los Angeles behind you. Were you just looking at the original\, or the copy? I think the most interesting part is right afterwards when your focus shifts around you to the ground\, the dirt\, the trees.. all that stuff that frames what you’re looking at\, like the base of a model or scale figures or model trees. Come to think of it\, the papers did look like trees. But the resemblance is fleeting\, and now I’m certain the papers were in fact models pointing around at each other. Or were they in the background\, acting like a frame for something else\, something that wasn’t there?\n\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibit:On the Trail of Wonder: Selections from the Collection of Rolf Sapoli
DESCRIPTION:What makes an object wonderful? Is it an objective quality that can be measured and studied? Or is it an instinctive reaction\, welling up within the observer\, prompting us to ask: where did this come from? What does it mean? Is it real?\nNoted natural philosopher Rolf Sapoli has generously lent prized pieces from his world-renowned collection to the U-M Museum of Natural History for a short-term imposition. Objects rarely seen in a museum will be on display\, including a native Michigan koala\, Henry Ford’s pet dodo\, and a miniature manatee.  The items will be integrated with the permanent collections and interspersed throughout the galleries\, creating a trail of wonderful objects.  How many will you find?  The exhibit opens March 26 and runs through April 10\, though Mr. Sapoli tells us the best viewing will be on Friday\, April 1\, at 4:01 pm.

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

DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Health\, History\, Demography and Development (H2D2)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nWhat are the labor market effects of disenfranchisement? A large literature documents the impact of enfranchisement on public spending\, but less is known about the interaction of voting status and labor market outcomes. One potential mechanism is that of political patronage employment: the exchange of government employment for electoral support. Using for identification the repeal of state-level laws which enfranchised non-citizen immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries\, I find that from 1900-1930\, non-citizen immigrants were 28 – 42% more likely to obtain public employment while enfranchised than after the repeal of the laws. This result is robust to a variety of specifications. Consistent with a patronage mechanism\, I find that this effect is strongest in local electoral environments in which a single vote constituted a higher fraction of the expected winning margin: those counties with a recent history of more contested congressional races\, and a smaller overall voting pool.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Take Back the Economy: Building Community Economies
DESCRIPTION:In 1996 feminist economic geographer\, political economist and collective author J.K. Gibson-Graham wrote of giving up on “waiting for the revolution.” Instead Gibson-Graham proposed to smash capitalism while working at home in her spare time. In the twenty years since writing The End of Capitalism (As We Knew It): A Feminist Critique of Political Economy\, Gibson-Graham and members of the Community Economies Collective have developed numerous strategies for taking back the economy for people and the planet. In this presentation\, Katherine Gibson will review some of these strategies that link to economic experiments forging post-capitalist ways of being all over the world.\n\nKatherine Gibson is a Professorial Research Fellow in the Institute for Culture and Society at the University of Western Sydney. She is an economic geographer with an international reputation for innovative research on economic transformation and over 30 years’ experience of working with communities to build resilient economies. As J.K. Gibson-Graham\, the collective authorial presence she shares with the late Julie Graham (Professor of Geography\, University of Massachusetts Amherst)\,  her books include The End of Capitalism (As We Knew It): A Feminist Critique of Political Economy (Blackwell 1996) and A Postcapitalist Politics(University of Minnesota Press\, 2006). Her most recent books are Take Back the Economy: An Ethical Guide for Transforming Our Communities\, co-authored with Jenny Cameron and Stephen Healy (University of Minnesota Press\, 2013)\, Making Other Worlds Possible: Performing Diverse Economies\, co-edited with Gerda Roelvink and Kevin St Martin (University of Minnesota Press\, 2015) and Manifesto For Living in the Anthropocene\, co-edited with Deborah Bird Rose and Ruth Fincher (Punctum Press\, 2015).\n\nSponsored by: The Border Collective Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop and the Marxisms Interdisciplinary Working Group

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Film Screening of \"The Art of Ama Ata Aidoo\"
DESCRIPTION:Yaba Badoe is a Ghanaian-British documentary filmmaker\, journalist and author.\n\nHer most recent film\, launched in 2014\, is entitled The Art of Ama Ata Aidoo.\n\nThe Art of Ama Ata Aidoo explores the artistic contribution of one of Africa’s foremost woman writers\, a trailblazer for an entire generation of exciting new talent. The film charts Ama Ata Aidoo’s creative journey in a life that spans 7 decades from colonial Ghana through the tumultuous era of independence to a more sober present day Africa where nurturing women’s creative talent remains as hard as ever.\n\nOver the course of a year the film follows Aidoo as she returns home to her ancestral village in the Central Region of Ghana\, launches her latest collection of short stories in Accra\, and travels to the University of California\, Santa Barbara to attend the premier of her seminal play about the slave trade\,Anowa.\n\nWith contributions from Carole Boyce Davies\, Nana Wilson- Tagoe and Vincent Odamtten\, The Art of Ama Ata Aidoo gives a fascinating insight into the life of a feminist poet and novelist and brings Aidoo’s writing to new audiences.\n\n \n\nGenerous support was provided by the CEW Frances & Sydney Lewis Visiting Leader Fund. \n\n\n​For further information\, please contact (734) 764-5517 or email ecnirp@umich.edu​

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Hilde De Weerdt\, Professor of Chinese History\, Leiden University\n\nIn twelfth-century Song China governmental control over current information circulated orally\, in manuscript\, and print became stricter. At the same time\, the private and commercial publication of state documents\, court news\, and recent history grew exponentially. The former aspect\, censorship\, has received much attention in Chinese Studies. Professor de Weerdt  proposes that both aspects\, secrecy and publicity\, need to be understood together\, and she  will reflect on the causes for central and local governments’ ambivalent stance towards the circulation of archival materials and current affairs and their longer-term consequences on imperial Chinese political culture.\n\nShe argues\, in part on the basis of digital analyses of notebooks and letters\, that the paradigmatic shift towards localism amongst political elites in the twelfth century was accompanied by a structural transformation in political communication between court and provincial elites. This transformation was characterized by the dissemination of shared political imaginaries based on territorial claims and the consolidation of the position of the literati or cultural elites as the main producers and consumers of history and current affairs texts. Special consideration will be given to the question of how we can trace and analyze communication networks and political networking and their role in the history of Chinese polities.\n\nHilde De Weerdt is Professor of Chinese History at the Leiden Institute for Area Studies. Prior to this she taught at King’s College London (Reader in Chinese History\, 2012-13)\, Oxford University (University Lecturer/Associate Professor in Chinese History\, 2007-2012) and Pembroke College (Fellow\, 2007-2012)\, and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (Assistant Professor of Chinese History\, 2002-2007). She wrote an intellectual history of the civil service examinations\, titled\, \"Competition over Content: Negotiating Standards for the Civil Service Examinations in Imperial China (1127-1276)\" (Harvard University Asia Center\, 2007). Her research focuses on the question of how social networks shaped Chinese politics. Her interests in intellectual and political history\, information technologies\, social networks\, and digital research methods have also led to her involvement in several comparative and digital humanities projects including “Communication and Empire: Chinese Empires in Comparative Perspective” (funded by the European Research Council\, 2012-17) and “DID-ACTE: Digging into Data: Automating Chinese Text Extraction” (funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council\, the Joint Information Systems Committee\, and the National Endowment for the Humanities\, 2014-2016). She is the co-editor of \"Knowledge and Text Production in an Age of Print--China\, Tenth-Fourteenth Centuries\" (Brill\, 2011). Her most recent book\, \"Information\, Territory\, and Networks: The Crisis and Maintenance of Empire in Song China\" (Harvard University Asia Center\, 2015)\, takes a fresh look at the question of how the ideal of the unified territorial state took hold in Chinese society.\n\nThis presentation is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Library.\n\nProfessor de Weerdt will also be giving a public presentation in the gallery space of the U-M Hatcher Library at 10am Monday\, April 4\, 2016.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Using Art to Disrupt the Criminal Justice System
DESCRIPTION:Presented as part of a campus wide collaboration with the Prison Creative Arts Project and visiting photographer and activist Mark Strandquist.\n\nMark Strandquist is an artist\, activist\, and educator who has spent years using art as a vehicle for connecting diverse communities to build empathy and support for social justice movements. At the core of his practice is the belief that those most impacted by a given issue are the experts society needs to listen. He works across disciplines connecting those directly impacted with a multitude of community experts to impact change on personal and policy levels. His projects include from working with incarcerated youth to train police officers\, to connecting incarcerated men and women with thousands through interactive public art installation\, to creating teams of lawyers\, artists\, and formerly incarcerated individuals to help facilitate free legal clinics that have cleared the records of thousands of individuals.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Marvin Parnes Retirement Party
DESCRIPTION:After 41 years of distinguished service at the University of Michigan\, Marvin Parnes has retired. Parnes was Managing Director of the U-M Institute for Social Research\, a position he held from 2013 through the end of February.

Parnes also chaired the OVPR Faculty Grants & Awards Committee\, and participated in a number of planning and advisory committees and task forces throughout the University.\n\nIn alignment with his interest in social equity\, he coordinated many U-M efforts to increase the participation of women and underrepresented minorities in research\, including providing oversight for over twenty years to the Women in Science and Engineering program\, co-founding programs with the Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs to hire minority junior faculty\, serving on a Committee that fostered collaboration with HBCUs\, and being an inaugural recipient of the National Center for Institutional Diversity Exemplary Diversity Engagement and Scholarship Award.\n \nHe was a major contributor in developing the organizational and resource infrastructure for the University’s rapidly expanding research program during its period of greatest growth. During his tenure\, he shared oversight for infrastructure and administration\, research administration\, technology transfer\, liaison with industry\, and day-to-day administration of units reporting to the Vice President for Research.  He was very involved in the creation of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG)\, the Program in Complex Systems\, the Business Engagement Center (BEC)\, and the Institute for Research on Labor\, Employment\, and the Economy (IRLEE)\, ArtsEngine\, and led the development of eResearch.   He coordinated seed funding for new scholarly projects and special needs in the research community and worked closely with the university’s executive officers on the role and strategy of the University in regional economic development\, resulting in the formation of SPARK\, a partnership between universities\, government\, and businesses to promote innovation in the Ann Arbor area. For many years he very capably represented the U-M in Washington at the National Institutes of Health (NIH)\, the National Science Foundation (NSF)\, and other funding organizations and served on multiple review committees and special task forces.\n\nParnes has served as the Principal Investigator of the Michigan Initiative for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (MIIE)\, a statewide consortium of public universities promoting regional economic development and entrepreneurism and on many local\, regional\, and national committees and boards.  He is the past Chair and Treasurer of the Ann Arbor Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and served as Chair of the Council on Governmental Relations (COGR)\, a national association of research universities based in Washington\, D.C.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Muslims in America: A Forgotten History\,\" An evening with Laila Lalami
DESCRIPTION:The year 2015 has seen a spike in anti-Muslim rhetoric. Presidential candidates have suggested\, among other things\, that American Muslims \"celebrated\" the attacks of September 11\, that they should be forced to register in a federal database\, and that refugees be forced to undergo a religious test. This rhetoric is vicious and shrill\, but it is not new. And it persists regardless of what the facts may say. Part of the reason for this is that Muslims are presented as latecomers to America\, recent arrivals who’ve grafted themselves into an already thriving country. In fact\, Muslims have been part of America since before it became a nation. In this talk\, Laila Lalami will discuss history\, its transmission\, and how fiction can help us fill in some of its many gaps and silences.\n\nLaila Lalami is the author\, most recently\, of The Moor’s Account\, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. She writes the “Between the Lines” column for The Nation\, and is a professor of creative writing at the University of California\, Riverside. Booksigning & sale immediately following.\nFree and open to the public. Seating is limited\; please arrive early.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS African Workshop “Water to Swallow the Pill of Wisdom: Humour in African Proverbs”
DESCRIPTION:Kofi Asare Opoku is a former chair of the Ghana Institute of African Studies and a retired Professor of African Traditional Religion from Lafayette College in Pennsylvania\, USA. He has taught and delivered numerous lectures on African culture and world religions across the globe in the past forty years. Professor Opoku’s grandfather\, Theophilus Opoku\, was the first African to be ordained in Ghana in 1872. After Professor Opoku graduated from seminary\, he became interested in African Traditional Religion\, and made the decision not to be ordained. He holds degrees from Yale University Divinity School and the University of Ghana. \n  Opoku has published several books\, including West African Traditional Religion (1978)\; Healing for God’s World: Remedies from Three Continents\, with Kim Yong-Bock and Antoinette C. Wire (1991)\; Hearing and Keeping: Akan Proverbs (1997)\; andSpeak to the Winds: Proverbs from Africa (1975). Opoku has also authored numerous articles and papers on African culture\, spirituality\, and religions and their impact on Western ideas. He is currently a farmer at Mampong\, Akuapem\, in Ghana’s Eastern Region.\n\nAbstract: The humour found in African proverbs is not merely intended to induce laughter or amusement. Rather\, it is the water with which the pill of wisdom (proverbs) is swallowed.\n\nGenerous support was provided by the Center for World Performance Studies and the African Studies Center\n\n​For further information\, please contact (734) 764-5517 or email ecnirp@umich.edu​

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Distinguished Lecture: Road Toward the New Light - The Invention of High Efficient Blue LEDs and Future Lighting
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Shuji Nakamura\, Nobel Laureate in Physics for the invention of efficient\, practical\, blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs)\, will talk about his engineering breakthrough as well as the future of lighting in the 21st century.\nDevelopment of an efficient blue LED enabled a new source of bright white light that is ten times as efficient as today's incandescent bulbs\, and they last for 50 years. With about 25% of the world's electricity used for lighting\, the impact of his work is global\, and not just for highly industrialized countries. LEDs are so energy-efficient\, they can be powered by cheap local solar power\, which brings the possibility of light to the 1.5 billion people who live and work off the energy grid.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic History
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIt is well documented that married men earn higher wages than single\nmen. One of the explanations for this phenomenon is the theory of\nintra-household specialization with marriage making men more\nproductive in the workplace with discrimination and selection being\ncompeting alternatives. Decreasing returns to marriage since 1960 goes\nin tandem with less specialization in the home\, but there is little\nevidence of how men benefited from marriage in the past when few\nmarried women worked and the male breadwinner norm was strong. The\nwage premium for married men is investigated using matched\nemployer-employee data from the Swedish manufacturing industry circa\n1900. The extent to which pay differences between married and single\nmen were related to productivity (work effort)\, selection/sorting (on\nfirms) or to discrimination can be explored thanks to detailed\ninformation. We find marriage premia of similar magnitude to those\nfound in the US today. Among those who worked for productivity-related\npay\, married men earned a premium because they were more productive.\nAmong those who worked for time rates in more modern occupations\,\nmarried men sorted themselves across employers and a premium was\nsupported by the union. The results indicate that the marriage premium\nemerged from productivity differentials but became a general strategy\nwith the emergence of the modern labor market.

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

SUMMARY:Performance:Marshall Crenshaw & the Bottle Rockets
DESCRIPTION:Can anyone who was listening to new music in the 1980s forget the songs of Marshall Crenshaw? To New Wave pop they brought country and R&B elements\, they brought romantic yearning\, they brought the craft of a true songwriter. Unlike most of the acts of that era of youthful musical attitude\, southest Michigan native Marshall Crenshaw is still going strong. These days the bespectacled romantic fool of the early 1980s is all grown up\, but with his fabulous songwriting chops undiminished—and even augmented a bit by jazz harmonies on occasion. Marshall comes to town with St. Louis alt-country band The Bottle Rockets\, who will play a set of their own and then join Marshall as his backing band. He'll be bringing his first new album in six years\, \"The EP Collection.\"

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Winteractive: The Art of Video Games
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for a game to be art? Many independent game developers stretch the definition of what a game can be and create games that blur the boundaries between art and traditional entertainment.\n\nThe games in this exhibition—all created by individual or small groups of developers—will lead you into realms of sound and beauty\, or provoke reflection on the human condition\, or entertain you with innovative takes on established game genres—or perhaps all of the above at once!\n\nThis is a hands-on exhibition. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Causal Inference in Education Research Seminar (CIERS)
DESCRIPTION:Abstracts: \n\"A Passage to America: University Funding and International Students\" (with John Bound\, Breno Braga\, Gaurav Khanna and Sarah Turner):\nSubstantial state subsidies to public higher education in the United States have historically allowed in-state students at public colleges and universities to pay significantly lower tuition and fee levels than their out-of-state counterparts. With the marked decline in state appropriations for higher education in recent years\, some university leaders are faced with the choice between  increasing tuition levels\, cutting expenditures – and thereby reducing resources per student\, or enrolling a greater proportion of students paying full out-of-state tuition. With strong economic growth in countries like China and India\, the pool of undergraduate students from abroad who are academically and financially prepared to attend U.S. colleges has increased markedly in the last decade. In this paper\, we examine whether declines in state appropriations have led public universities to enroll more foreign students who are able to pay the full-fare tuition. Our empirical results\, in combination with a model of university behavior\, tell a compelling story about the link between changes in state funding and foreign enrollment in recent years.  \n\n\n\"Preschool and Special Needs Placement: Learning more from the Head Start Impact Study\":\nEvidence suggests that one of the potential long-term benefits of early childhood education is a reduction in rates of special education placement in K-12. Using data from the Head Start Impact Study\, the first randomized control trial of Head Start\, I will present preliminary estimates of the impact of attending Head Start on special education placement in third grade.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Shakespeare on Page and Stage: A Celebration
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit is a historical journey through different versions of Shakespeare’s plays as they were edited for publication or interpreted  for the stage. 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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Accent Elimination
DESCRIPTION:About Accent Elimination\n\nNina Katchadourian’s work Accent Elimination\, the last installation in the Institute’s Year of Conversions\, meanders and parses through our notions of identity. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fellow Fellows
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Fellow Fellows\"\, the Architecture Fellows Presentation and Exhibition Opening. \n\nThe exhibition of projects of the 2015-2016 Architecture Fellows opens on Wednesday\, March 23 and runs through the end of the Winter term (May 2). The Fellows will present their projects to the college at 6:00 p.m. in the Auditorium. The projects present their ongoing research during their yearlong fellowship. A reception will follow the presentations\, with exhibition on view in the college gallery.\n\n\nCyrus Peñarroyo - William Muschenheim Fellow\n\nBLDG_DRWG\nBLDG_DRWG recoups handwrought drawing effects and rearranges drawing conventions at the building scale in order to reorient the ways in which architecture is produced and consumed. Oscillating between analog methods (ink\, paint\, tape) and digital processes (scanning\, photoshop filtering\, milling)\, this project intensifies attributes of drawing otherwise lost in translation. A series of 1:1 investigations harnesses the potency of these effects and uses them to emphasize\, deemphasize\, or reconstitute existing architectural conditions. The results of these studies are reassembled in the gallery as a room––one fragment of an unfinished building––that speaks to the instability of its own representation.\n\nTeam members: Andrew Barkhouse\, Peter Watkins\nWith assistance from: Chris Campbell\, Samantha Eng\, Matt Culver\, Asa Peller\, Tafhim Rahman\n\n\nAshley Bigham - Walter B. Sanders Fellow\n\nSafety Not Guaranteed\nArchitecture is inseparable from defense. From its most primitive and revered “origins\,” architecture was rehearsed in environments of conflict. As an alternative to the term defense architecture\, a category which typically refers to forms and types (fortresses\, citadels\, bastions\, urban walls)\, this project proposes the idea of an architecture of defense. An architecture of defense sees all of architecture as a reaction to some measure of paranoia and studies the built environment to recognize measures and methods used to subdue these fears. Safety Not Guaranteed explores the architecture of paranoia through a series of design manipulations and exaggerations. Its setting is the network of suburbia and everyday domestic scenes—spaces most commonly associated with privacy\, safety\, and security and where fortification occurs on the scale of the front door\, the home\, the cul-de-sac\, and the neighborhood.\n\nTeam Members: Connor Brindza\, James Howe\, Neall Oliver\, Sasha Pfeiffer\, Mark Boynton\, Kamsy Anyachebelu\n\n\nDavid Eskenazi - Willard A. Oberdick Fellow\n\nFor the Trees\nAt first I noticed how naked the papers were\, since they didn’t seem to be acting like something else. I guess they were supposed to be models\, it was an architecture exhibit after all\, but they were missing all those things that point elsewhere: no doors\, no windows\, nothing that particularly looks like anything but itself. They were formed\, sure\, but that’s not really enough to point outwards. Or is it? Before you answer\, there was one more thing: some of the papers were near an enlarged duplicate. Actually\, maybe they were shrunken copies. It was a lot like that moment at the top of Runyon Canyon when you turn around and realize there’s an entire other\, slightly smaller Los Angeles behind you. Were you just looking at the original\, or the copy? I think the most interesting part is right afterwards when your focus shifts around you to the ground\, the dirt\, the trees.. all that stuff that frames what you’re looking at\, like the base of a model or scale figures or model trees. Come to think of it\, the papers did look like trees. But the resemblance is fleeting\, and now I’m certain the papers were in fact models pointing around at each other. Or were they in the background\, acting like a frame for something else\, something that wasn’t there?\n\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibit:On the Trail of Wonder: Selections from the Collection of Rolf Sapoli
DESCRIPTION:What makes an object wonderful? Is it an objective quality that can be measured and studied? Or is it an instinctive reaction\, welling up within the observer\, prompting us to ask: where did this come from? What does it mean? Is it real?\nNoted natural philosopher Rolf Sapoli has generously lent prized pieces from his world-renowned collection to the U-M Museum of Natural History for a short-term imposition. Objects rarely seen in a museum will be on display\, including a native Michigan koala\, Henry Ford’s pet dodo\, and a miniature manatee.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Urban Hunters: Hustling and Gathering in Postsocialist Ulaanbaatar
DESCRIPTION:A major preoccupation of post-socialist anthropology has been to criticize modernist assumptions about linear progress and economic development by replacing these with more nuanced ethnographic accounts of social life in diverse post-socialist settings. At the heart of this approach lies a premise about the continuity of social\, cultural political and cultural forms. Indeed\, the standard anthropological argument goes\, social\, political and cultural forms never appear ex nihilo\, for while traditions\, institutions and modes of livelihood change by merging with others and assume new shapes\, there are never any clean ruptures with the past\, which is always somehow “carried on” into the present. Heeding Joel Robbins’ call to take peoples’ experiences of discontinuity seriously\, the aim of this paper is to analyze post-socialist transition as a distinct existential predicament imbued with unique temporal dynamics. More precisely\, by chronicling the hopes and the hardships of Ulaanbaatar’s so-called “lost generation” of men and women who turned 30 around the turn of the millennium\, the paper explores what happens when post-socialist transition becomes permanent and acquires a logic of its own\, across different arenas of economic and religious life. As Mongolia became stuck in what was supposed to have been a temporary economic crisis\, “transition” became a way of life. Far from resisting change\, people internalized and embodied permanent rupture to such an extent that it almost became second nature to them.\n\nMorten Axel Pedersen is professor of social anthropology at the University of Copenhagen. Since 1995\, he has conducted four years of fieldwork in Mongolia\, the Russian Far East and in Western China on topics as diverse as shamanism\, political cosmology\, post-socialism\, infrastructure\, debt and hope. Most recently\, he has conducted research in Denmark on interdisciplinary collaboration and on Protestantism. He is the author of The Ontological Turn: An Anthropological Exposition (Cambridge\, 2016\, with M. Holbraad)\, and Not Quite Shamans: Spirit Worlds and Political Lives in Northern Mongolia (Cornell\, 2011). His co-edited works include Times of Security: Ethnographies of Fear\, Protest and the Future (Routledge\, 2013). He is currently completing two co-authored monographs: a comparative ethnography of Chinese resource-extraction projects in Mongolia and Mozambique\, and a monograph on Ulaanbaatar’s dispossessed urban youth.\n\nPart of the CREES-sponsored series\, Buying and Selling\, States and Markets\, which focuses on various aspects of economies in Russia\, Eastern Europe\, and Eurasia. How did socialist regimes theorize money\, consumption\, wages\, and pricing? How did markets during state socialism actually work\, and what is their legacy in contemporary times? What are the social roles of commodities and economic transactions today?

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Tolerance Trap: How God\, Genes\, and Good Intentions are Sabotaging Gay Equality
DESCRIPTION:What’s wrong with tolerance? And how could it possibly undermine real gay equality? In this talk\, Walters considers how the pseudo-science of “born this way” can combine with demands for marriage equality and a place in the military to create a “trap.” The trap is to imagine that being tolerated is the same as robust integration for America’s gay citizens. We tolerate what we find unpleasant: pain\, medicine\, annoying relatives. Walters looks at how science\, law and popular culture work to create a world where we have marriage equality and gay celebrities\, but we also have historically high rates of violence against LGBTQ citizens\, a variety of anti-gay legal initiatives and a supposedly gay-friendly Hollywood where very few stars actually come out. Tolerance is not the end goal\, but a dead end for anyone seeking genuine equality.\n\nSuzanna Danuta Walters’ work centers on questions of gender\, sexuality\, family\, and popular culture.  Her most recent book\, The Tolerance Trap: How God\, Genes\, and Good Intentions are Sabotaging Gay Equality (NYU Press\, 2014)\, explores how notions of tolerance limit the possibilities for real liberation and deep social belonging. She has also written extensively on feminist cultural theory\, mothers and daughters in popular culture\, queer theory and LGBT studies\, and popular culture. She is currently Editor-in-Chief of Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society.\n\nThis talk is presented by IRWG's Lesbian-Gay-Queer Research Initiative (LGQRI)\, and co-sponsored by Department of Communication Studies and Screen Arts & Cultures.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: \"Inside The Graduate School Mess\"
DESCRIPTION:According to Leonard Cassuto\, it is no secret that American graduate education is in disarray. Graduate students take too long to complete their studies and face a dismal academic job market if they succeed. His book\, The Graduate School Mess\, gets to the root of these problems and offers concrete solutions for revitalizing graduate education in the humanities. Cassuto\, Professor of English at Fordham University and graduate education columnist for The Chronicle of Higher Education\, argues that universities’ heavy emphasis on research comes at the expense of teaching. But teaching is where reforming graduate school must begin. In his talk\, Professor Cassuto will attempt to return our national conversation about graduate study in the humanities to first principles.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.\n\nPresented by the Department of History with support from the Rackham Graduate School\, Institute for the Humanities\, Department of English Language and Literature\, and Department of American Culture.

DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a book launch event for Zilka Joseph\, poet\, educator\, editor and manuscript coach\, who will talk about her poetry and read from her new book Sharp Blue Search of Flame published by Wayne State University Press.\n\nSharp Blue Search of Flame is an exploration in poetry of a complex network of nuanced journeys into a variety of worlds. The searingly rich poems reflect Zilka Joseph’s own history of living in Eastern and Western cultures\, as well as the influences of her Jewish Indian roots. Joseph’s free verse and forms shift scenes from the real to the imagined landscapes of the mind\, and search for fulfillment and solace amidst the terrifying beauty and chaos of the human condition.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public\, however registration is requested for planning purposes:\nhttp://www.cew.umich.edu/progevents/book-launch-sharp-blue-search-flame-zilka-joseph/20160210\n\nThis event is supported by the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund which promotes diversity and cultural awareness by bringing women leaders to campus.

SUMMARY:Other:Author's Forum Presents The Reformation of Emotions in the Age of Shakespeare: A Conversation with Steven Mullaney and Douglas Trevor
DESCRIPTION:Steven Mullaney reads from his new book\, followed by a discussion between Mullaney and Douglas Trevor.\n\nThe crises of faith that fractured Reformation Europe also caused crises of individual and collective identity. Structures of feeling as well as structures of belief were transformed\; there was a reformation of social emotions as well as a Reformation of faith.\n\nAs Steven Mullaney shows in The Reformation of Emotions in the Age of Shakespeare\, Elizabethan popular drama played a significant role in confronting the uncertainties and unresolved traumas of Elizabethan Protestant England. Shakespeare and his contemporaries—audiences as well as playwrights—reshaped popular drama into a new form of embodied social\, critical\, and affective thought. Examining a variety of works\, from revenge plays to Shakespeare’s first history tetralogy and beyond\, Mullaney explores how post-Reformation drama not only exposed these faultlines of society on stage but also provoked playgoers in the audience to acknowledge their shared differences. He demonstrates that our most lasting works of culture remain powerful largely because of their deep roots in the emotional landscape of their times.\n\nSteven Mullaney is professor of English at the University of Michigan.\n\nDouglas Trevor is professor of English at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"A Language of One's Own? Manet and Mallarmé's Collaboration with Poe\"
DESCRIPTION:Late nineteenth-century symbolism in painting and poetry is often seen as a solipsistic turn away from the depiction of modern life to focus on the mental life of the artist. I turn to Edouard Manet's illustrations for Stéphane Mallarmé's translation of Edgar Allan Poe's \"Raven\" to suggest that they were doing something more ambitious: exploring the limits of intelligibility by attempting to fix in visual and literary form the most resolutely subjective aspects of experience. Not only does this involve them in the allegedly absurd task of making private languages manifest to others\, but it reveals concerns akin to those of the era's mathematicians\, philosophers and other thinkers anxious about the possibility of objective knowledge and shared effort in a world of individuals.

DESCRIPTION:This roundtable marks the publication of \"Women's Hebrew Poetry on American Shores: Poems by Anne Kleiman and Annabelle Farmelant\" (Wayne State University Press\, 2016). \nAlthough Anne (Chana) Kleiman—who died in 2011 at the age of 101—was the first American-born Jewish woman to publish poems in Hebrew\, and Annabelle (Chana) Farmelant—who is still living and occasionally publishing—wrote a substantial body of Hebrew verse from the 1940s to the 1960s\, their work is virtually unknown today\, even to those familiar with Hebrew literature in America. The roundtable will discuss the singular voices of these women\, introduce their captivating and wide--ranging poetry and place it in its historical\, literary\, and cultural contexts. The roundtable will feature editor Shachar Pinsker\, the translator Adriana Jacobs\, Adina Kleiman (the daughter of the poet Anne Kleiman)\, and Anita Norich.

SUMMARY:Performance:Micah Smiles Benefit Concert for C.S. Mott Children's Hospital
DESCRIPTION:Fate has a magical way of bringing people together. Take the case of Joe and Hannah\, a.k.a Acoustic Eidolon. In 1995\, Hannah\, a studio cellist\, received a call to play on a Boulder ensemble’s record. Hannah listened in amazement as directions to the recording studio told her to turn on a small road near her home\, and then turn down her own street past her house. Little did Hannah know that across the street and three houses away lived Joe\, the greatest double-neck guitjo player in the world (OK\, the only double-neck guitjo player in the world). The double-neck guitjo\, somewhere between a guitar and a harp\, has 14 strings and Joe has developed his own style and technique\, playing both necks simultaneously. Later Joe called Hannah\, saying he’d always wanted to hear the cello and the guitjo together. He had a feeling the harp-like sound of the guitjo\, combined with the warmth of Hannah’s cello\, would be beautiful together. So on a snowy day in February 1998\, they got together to play for the first time. Captivated by the music they created together\, Joe and Hannah immediately agreed to clear out their schedules\, start rehearsing full-time\, and form what would become Acoustic Eidolon. Musical/business partnership and friendship blossomed into their marriage on October 14\, 2001. Hannah and Joe (and sons Zach and Alex) became a family. Joe and Hannah joke that this was a marriage of convenience since they were already together all the time anyway!\n\nNote special 7:30 p.m. starting time.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Winteractive: The Art of Video Games
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for a game to be art? Many independent game developers stretch the definition of what a game can be and create games that blur the boundaries between art and traditional entertainment.\n\nThe games in this exhibition—all created by individual or small groups of developers—will lead you into realms of sound and beauty\, or provoke reflection on the human condition\, or entertain you with innovative takes on established game genres—or perhaps all of the above at once!\n\nThis is a hands-on exhibition. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Accent Elimination
DESCRIPTION:About Accent Elimination\n\nNina Katchadourian’s work Accent Elimination\, the last installation in the Institute’s Year of Conversions\, meanders and parses through our notions of identity. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fellow Fellows
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Fellow Fellows\"\, the Architecture Fellows Presentation and Exhibition Opening. \n\nThe exhibition of projects of the 2015-2016 Architecture Fellows opens on Wednesday\, March 23 and runs through the end of the Winter term (May 2). The Fellows will present their projects to the college at 6:00 p.m. in the Auditorium. The projects present their ongoing research during their yearlong fellowship. A reception will follow the presentations\, with exhibition on view in the college gallery.\n\n\nCyrus Peñarroyo - William Muschenheim Fellow\n\nBLDG_DRWG\nBLDG_DRWG recoups handwrought drawing effects and rearranges drawing conventions at the building scale in order to reorient the ways in which architecture is produced and consumed. Oscillating between analog methods (ink\, paint\, tape) and digital processes (scanning\, photoshop filtering\, milling)\, this project intensifies attributes of drawing otherwise lost in translation. A series of 1:1 investigations harnesses the potency of these effects and uses them to emphasize\, deemphasize\, or reconstitute existing architectural conditions. The results of these studies are reassembled in the gallery as a room––one fragment of an unfinished building––that speaks to the instability of its own representation.\n\nTeam members: Andrew Barkhouse\, Peter Watkins\nWith assistance from: Chris Campbell\, Samantha Eng\, Matt Culver\, Asa Peller\, Tafhim Rahman\n\n\nAshley Bigham - Walter B. Sanders Fellow\n\nSafety Not Guaranteed\nArchitecture is inseparable from defense. From its most primitive and revered “origins\,” architecture was rehearsed in environments of conflict. As an alternative to the term defense architecture\, a category which typically refers to forms and types (fortresses\, citadels\, bastions\, urban walls)\, this project proposes the idea of an architecture of defense. An architecture of defense sees all of architecture as a reaction to some measure of paranoia and studies the built environment to recognize measures and methods used to subdue these fears. Safety Not Guaranteed explores the architecture of paranoia through a series of design manipulations and exaggerations. Its setting is the network of suburbia and everyday domestic scenes—spaces most commonly associated with privacy\, safety\, and security and where fortification occurs on the scale of the front door\, the home\, the cul-de-sac\, and the neighborhood.\n\nTeam Members: Connor Brindza\, James Howe\, Neall Oliver\, Sasha Pfeiffer\, Mark Boynton\, Kamsy Anyachebelu\n\n\nDavid Eskenazi - Willard A. Oberdick Fellow\n\nFor the Trees\nAt first I noticed how naked the papers were\, since they didn’t seem to be acting like something else. I guess they were supposed to be models\, it was an architecture exhibit after all\, but they were missing all those things that point elsewhere: no doors\, no windows\, nothing that particularly looks like anything but itself. They were formed\, sure\, but that’s not really enough to point outwards. Or is it? Before you answer\, there was one more thing: some of the papers were near an enlarged duplicate. Actually\, maybe they were shrunken copies. It was a lot like that moment at the top of Runyon Canyon when you turn around and realize there’s an entire other\, slightly smaller Los Angeles behind you. Were you just looking at the original\, or the copy? I think the most interesting part is right afterwards when your focus shifts around you to the ground\, the dirt\, the trees.. all that stuff that frames what you’re looking at\, like the base of a model or scale figures or model trees. Come to think of it\, the papers did look like trees. But the resemblance is fleeting\, and now I’m certain the papers were in fact models pointing around at each other. Or were they in the background\, acting like a frame for something else\, something that wasn’t there?\n\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibit:On the Trail of Wonder: Selections from the Collection of Rolf Sapoli
DESCRIPTION:What makes an object wonderful? Is it an objective quality that can be measured and studied? Or is it an instinctive reaction\, welling up within the observer\, prompting us to ask: where did this come from? What does it mean? Is it real?\nNoted natural philosopher Rolf Sapoli has generously lent prized pieces from his world-renowned collection to the U-M Museum of Natural History for a short-term imposition. Objects rarely seen in a museum will be on display\, including a native Michigan koala\, Henry Ford’s pet dodo\, and a miniature manatee.  The items will be integrated with the permanent collections and interspersed throughout the galleries\, creating a trail of wonderful objects.  How many will you find?  The exhibit opens March 26 and runs through April 10\, though Mr. Sapoli tells us the best viewing will be on Friday\, April 1\, at 4:01 pm.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HOW DO WE TALK TO PEOPLE WHO ARE DIFFERENT?
DESCRIPTION:The central and abiding value of the study of the humanities is to facilitate communication across cultural and economic divisions. It is through the \nexploration of expression – the core purpose of humanistic study – that we are able to better understand each other and to draw upon the shared experience of past and present diverse cultures to help us do so.   \n\nDavid Potter received his A.B. from Harvard and his Doctor of Philosophy from Oxford University. After two years as a visiting Assistant Professor at Bryn Mawr College\, he joined UM’s Department of Classical Studies in 1986. He has authored numerous books.\n\nThis is the first in a six-lecture series. The subject is \"The Power of the Liberal Arts.\" The next lecture will be April 14\, entitled “'DON’T JUST DO SOMETHING\, STAND THERE':  ON TEACHING STUDENTS HOW TO BE HUMAN AND DIVINE\"

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

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

SUMMARY:Presentation:Department of Psychology Colloquium (Sponsored by the Personality and Social Contexts Area):  Multicultural Mind versus Multicultural Self - Linking Culture\, Cognition\, and Identity
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nIn the face of rapid globalization\, many individuals are being exposed to multiple cultural traditions and practices.  Although multiple cultural exposures have been shown to have beneficial effects (such as enhancing cultural frame switching and creativity)\, it could also threaten individuals’ own cultural identity.  To understand the interplay between these two opposing consequences\, I will delineate the concepts of Multicultural Mind and Multicultural Self.  Multicultural mind entails acquiring and applying knowledge of new cultures.  This process could benefit creativity and even reduce prejudice and discrimination.  By contrast\, multicultural self entails using cultural traditions to define the self\, a process that could lead to negative reactions toward new cultures if individuals endorse racial essentialism (believing that race has biological essence rather than it is a social construction).  In my talk\, I will first present empirical findings of multicultural mind and multicultural self\, and then discuss the latest extension to cultural mixing and cultural attachment.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Communicating Self in a Networked World
DESCRIPTION:Advances in social media technologies have brought unprecedented opportunities for communicating self on different online platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Many of these platforms facilitate self-disclosure to a network\, which blurs boundaries between what is public and what is private\, and raises questions about new self-disclosure practices. In this talk we will explore socio-cognitive dynamics underlying self-disclosure exchanges\, including motivations that drive people to share personal information in online networks and factors that influence psychological rewards people draw from it. We will also discuss issues of wellbeing and mental health in relation to communication in social media. \n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nNatalie Bazarova is an is an assistant professor in communication and director of the Social Media Lab at Cornell University. Her research examines social interactions mediated by information and communication technology in dyads\, groups and networks\, with a particular emphasis on self-disclosure\, privacy\, wellbeing and personal relationships. Her work has been funded by grants from the National Science Foundation\, National Institutes of Health\, United States Department of Agriculture\, Cornell Institute for the Social Sciences and Cornell’s Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research. She is a Faculty Fellow at the Cornell Institute for the Social Sciences for the 2015-16 academic year. \n\nAbout the series:\n\nThis series is co-sponsored by the School of Information and the Department of Communication Studies in the College of Literature\, Science and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Exhibition hours are Thursday to Sunday from 3:00-7:00pm unless otherwise noted.\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral\, and Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:In finitely repeated prisoner dilemma games\, two-person teams start with significantly less   cooperation than individuals\, consistent with results from the psychology literature. This quickly gives way to teams cooperating more than individuals. Team dialogues show increased payoffs from cooperation\, along with anticipating opponents’ recognition of same\, provides the basis for cooperation\, even while fully anticipating defection near the end game. A strong status quo bias in defecting across super-games limits unraveling. Defecting typically occurs’ one round earlier across super-games\, consistent with low marginal\, or even negative\, benefits of more than one-step-ahead defection. We briefly discuss the effect of cheap talk between opponents on outcomes\, and the driving forces for the results observed with cheap talk.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:​Abstract: \nWe examine whether returns to capital are higher for farmers who borrow than for those who do not\, a direct implication of many credit market models. We measure the difference in returns through a two‐stage loan and grant experiment. We find large positive investment responses and returns to grants for a random (representative) sample of farmers\, showing that liquidity constraints bind. However\, we find zero returns to grants for a sample of farmers who endogenously did not borrow. Thus we find important heterogeneity\, even conditional on a wide range of observed characteristics\, which has critical implications for theory and policy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar with Dr. Bree Rosemblum
DESCRIPTION:My research focuses on the processes that generate and threaten biological diversity. How are new species formed and why are species being lost at such an alarming rate in our contemporary world? Specifically\, I am interested in the fundamental processes that affect biodiversity: speciation and extinction. I focus on understanding mechanisms of rapid evolution across levels of organization -- from genes to ecosystems. I am motivated by research questions that cross scales\, and my lab uses diverse methods from field studies to laboratory experiments to full-genome sequencing. For this seminar\, I will present recent results from studies on two core systems I have been developing over the last decade. I will discuss insights into wildlife declines gained from studying disease-related extinctions in amphibian populations. I will then discuss insights into evolutionary predictability gained from studying rapid adaptation in desert lizard populations. Overall I hope to share the importance of understanding organismal response to changing environments.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/nVbGwNz8rCg

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"Progressive Thought after the End of Progress: The Longevity of an Idea in the 20th Century\"
DESCRIPTION:The idea of progress is closely related to the modern time regime that\, according to Reinhart Koselleck\, emerged around 1800. Historians commonly associate the 19th century with the widespread hope for a better future to be brought about by the advances of science and technology. By contrast\, in the 20th century\, observers located the death of progress in the industrialized mass killings of the world wars or the alleged transformations from modernity to postmodernity in the 1970s. These obituaries\, however\, should not be transferred into historiography as they overlook the continuing appeal of the idea of progress among scientific and technical as well as political elites throughout the century and into our present. \n\nRüdiger Graf (PD\, PhD) is currently the head of the research unit on the History of Economic Thought and Practice at the Center for Contemporary History\, Potsdam. He studied history and philosophy at Berlin and Berkeley. In 2006\, he received his PhD with a study on “The Future of Weimar Germany. Crises and Appropriations of the Future 1918-1933” at Humboldt University and\, in 2013\, his habilitation with a book on oil “Oil und Sovereignty. Petroknowlegde and Energy Policy in the United States and Western Europe in the 1970s”at Ruhr-University Bochum. He was a visiting scholar at New York University\, a Kennedy-Fellow at the Center for European Studies at Harvard University and a Fellow at the Historisches Kolleg in Munich. Apart from the history of Weimar Germany and the history of oil and energy\, he also published on historical theory and methodology.\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Comedy of Consent: Shakespeare’s Dream of Politics
DESCRIPTION:Joseph Loewenstein\, Washington University professor and a specialist in Renaissance Literature and Cuture\, unearths the constitutional politics of Shakespearean comedy and considers Shakespeare’s meditation on publicness in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. He says\, \"For all their remarkable achievements in fine arts\, literature\, astronomy\, philology\, mathematics\, and engineering\, Renaissance Europeans had few successes as political theorists. Or so we are told. But if we look in odd places—in the comedies of Shakespeare\, and in one or two of his tragedies—we may find that a few concepts crucial to modern political theory receive sustained attention. This lecture will consider two of them briefly\, and one at length.\"  \n\nSponsored by U-M Library and the English Department\, in conjunction with the exhibit Shakespeare on Page and Stage: A Celebration http://www.lib.umich.edu/events/shakespeare-page-and-stage-celebration and the commemoration of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture. Putin’s Kleptocracy: Who Owns Russia?
DESCRIPTION:The raging question in the world today is who is the real Vladimir Putin and what are his intentions. Karen Dawisha’s research provides an answer\, describing how Putin got to power\, the cabal he brought with him\, the billions they have looted\, and his plan to restore the Greater Russia. She presents extensive new evidence about the Putin circle’s use of public positions for personal gain even before Putin became president in 2000. She documents the establishment of Bank Rossiya\, now sanctioned by the US\; the rise of the Ozero cooperative\, founded by Putin and others who are now subject to visa bans and asset freezes\; the links between Putin\, Petromed\, and “Putin’s Palace” near Sochi\; and the role of security officials from Putin’s KGB days in Leningrad and Dresden\, many of whom have maintained their contacts with Russian organized crime.\n\nKaren Dawisha is the Walter E. Havighurst Professor of Political Science and founding director of the Havighurst Center for Russian and Post-Soviet Studies at Miami University in Oxford\, Ohio. She received her Ph.D. from the London School of Economics\, and her research and teaching focus on post-communist transitions and Russian politics. Dawisha’s latest work\, Putin’s Kleptocracy: Who Owns Russia? (Simon & Schuster 2014)\, chronicles the rise of Vladimir Putin during his time in St. Petersburg in the 1990s. With painstaking research to support her claims\, Dawisha exposes how Putin’s friends and coworkers from his formative years have accumulated mass amounts of wealth and power. She has been featured in the New York Times\, The Economist\, The Wall Street Journal\, and Foreign Affairs\, and has spoken at the Woodrow Wilson Center\, U.S. State Department\, and the Hudson Institute.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Lecture: Ships and Shippers of Pre-Modern Southeast Asia: A Neglected Link in Eurasian Trade Systems
DESCRIPTION:Until recently\, historians were content to acknowledge the sailing skills of the Austronesian speaking people of Southeast Asia\, without granting them any agency in World history. Triggered by sustained progress in the archaeology of both coastal sites and shipwrecks in Southeast Asia\, and by a reconsideration of textual sources of the past two millennia\, a new paradigm is now emerging\, where these same people play an active role as shipbuilders\, shipmasters\, and entrepreneurs in pan-Asian trade networks.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nPierre-Yves Manguin is emeritus professor of archaeology at the Ecole française d'Extrême-Orient (EFEO\, French School of Asian Studies\, Paris). His research focuses on early history and archaeology of coastal states and trade networks of Southeast Asia. Starting in the early 1980s\, he has lead archaeological work in the South Sumatra and West Java in Indonesia\, and in the Mekong Delta in Southern Vietnam\, focussing on harbour-city sites situated along the main trade routes\, and on shipwreck sites of Indonesia. He has published on themes related to the archaeology of the early states of Srivijaya (South Sumatra)\, Funan (Mekong Delta)\, Tarumanagara (West Java)\, and on trade and state formation processes in Southeast Asia.\n\nOrganized by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies\; co-sponsored by the Center for South Asian Studies\, Department of Anthropology\, Museum of Anthropological Archaeology\, and  Doctoral Program in Anthropology and History.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series Presents: Renny Ramakers
DESCRIPTION:Art historian turned curator turned environmental trendsetter\, Renny Ramakers is co-founder and creative director of Amsterdam-based design company Droog\, where she initiates projects\, curates exhibitions\, and stretches the borders of design thinking. Named one of the “150 Women Who Shake the World” by Newsweek\, Ramakers' aim is to deliver cutting edge content and unexpected perspectives in an interdisciplinary and a down-to-earth way. Droog has been pioneering new directions for design since the early nineties\, redefining international notions of luxury in design.

In a recent collaborative venture entitled “UP\,” Droog is working with companies to cut down on waste by using surplus materials to create new goods. Beauty and experience with minimal means\, always with a twist and respect for the existing. Not so much less is more\, as less and more. Droog has branches in Amsterdam and Hong Kong.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chris Hillman & Herb Pedersen
DESCRIPTION:Chris Hillman was part of two pretty popular little 1960s bands called the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers\, and he was making Americana music long before the genre had a name. A genuine California cowboy when he was young\, Chris grew up on a San Diego County ranch\, riding horses\, and doing ranch chores\, but his interests would soon change from spurs and saddles to guitars and mandolins. Chris received the Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005. Bluegrass has always been an important part of Chris's music\, and he has teamed up with his Desert Rose Band comrade Herb Pedersen for a wonderful series of bluegrass albums that encompass traditional sounds\, Byrds classics\, Desert Rose Band country hits\, and more. Herb Pedersen is the leader of the Laurel Canyon Ramblers\, long one of the preeminent bands in L.A. bluegrass\, and he's worked with a whole roster of stars in bluegrass\, country\, and rock. In person these two veterans deliver a relaxed bluegrass show with the spontaneous quality that comes only from absolute mastery.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dissertation Recital: Donia Jarrar
DESCRIPTION:Seamstress is a multimedia and interdisciplinary documentary song-cycle\, in six movements\, for solo soprano\, chamber ensemble\, chorus\, electronics\, recorded audio and video. \n\nIt is based on oral history interviews Jarrar conducted with Palestinian women from different generations and social sectors in the West Bank from the summer of 2012 through the summer of 2015. The women interviewed include Jarrar’s aunt\, a seamstress from Nablus\, former students\, and current artistic collaborators and colleagues. \n\nSong texts are adapted from the interviews\, weaving together their different voices\, perspectives and experiences in a way that challenges current existing media stereotypes of Palestinian culture and womanhood\, specifically\, through the portrayal of universal themes within a larger global context. The result is a sonic and visual exploration of personal experiences with place in relation to transnational intersectional feminist perspectives on the self/denial of the self\, the state\, personal identity\, the body\, sociality and agency.
