As a self-taught artist\, Kohli is not bound to school taught rules but rather follows instinct and spontaneity. This also allows her to freely create her own processes. Moments of introspection and feelings of acceptance are what Kohli wishes to offer viewers of her work\, and these goals are inspired by her deep love of spirituality and Bikram yoga.

They often incorporate parts of the landscape and found objects\, such as cracks in concrete or leaves on the ground. He is inspired by a desire to place cheerful art underfoot in unexpected places and to embrace the temporary nature of all things. For this exhibit\, photographs of his street art installations will be on display. Zinn is a lifelong Michigander with a degree in creative writing from the U-M Residential College\, and he worked for many years as a children’s radio host on WCBN and Michigan Radio.

The root of her work is an emotional reaction to the environment\, implying landscapes not necessarily seen but felt. Veedell lives and works in San Francisco\, and she is inspired by her global travels to places as far away as India and as near as Napa Valley\, California. Travel is an important component of her work as it allows her to observe and compare gradients of color\, light and atmosphere in different geographic locations.

Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays UID:30043-3321464@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Photography Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160706T154352 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160911T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160911T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mira Henry: The View Inside DESCRIPTION:Before joining the faculty of the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles\, Mira Henry spent several years as a project architect\, immersed in the everyday\, banal details of how buildings get built: construction drawings\, material specs\, and building codes. She became an expert in seeing the world the way an architect sees it. But as a progressive architectural thinker\, Henry’s inspiration has been to deconstruct that vision\, to “unsee” the very forms and representations that constitute an architect’s basic language.\n\nThrough speculative experiments and conceptual drawings Henry discovers in static architectural details an unsettling range of figurative expression\, including\, for example\, the way the profiles of roof eaves resemble human heads. Wallpaper\, with its ability to mask\, transform\, or animate a space\, is also a prominent element in her work. Her projects explore how these features animate our subjective experience—what she calls our “shifting fantasies”—of architectural space.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Nesta Spink\, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979\, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. This selection of their gifts\, exhibited together for the first time\, provides insight into the minds of two connoisseurs with tastes that range far beyond their areas of specialization\; highlights include exquisite Whistler prints that are rarely on display and a rich representation of South Asian folk art. The Connoisseurs’ Legacy also honors the Spinks’ long relationship with the museum\, their roles as teachers of future scholars and curators\, and their commitment to public education.

Invisible Women: Portraits of Aging in Ukraine DESCRIPTION:Photography by Ashley Bigham\, 2015-16 Walter B. Sanders Fellow\, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, U-M\; Watercolors by Grace Mahoney\, doctoral student in Slavic languages and literatures\, U-M.\n\nIn this exhibition\, artists Bigham and Mahoney investigate the visibility and social role of Ukraine’s older generation of women—embodied in a figure both iconic and ubiquitous\, the babusya. Seen in public transport\, in the market\, and on the street\, each babusya has a story to tell. Each has something to say\, something to gossip about\, and something to complain about. The current generation of Ukrainian grandmothers survived World War II\, the Holodomor\, and multiple repressions. They are also active in the present—although civic activism is often thought to be the province of the young\, many babusya joined in the actions of Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity in Kyiv and throughout the country. Now they witness the war in Eastern Ukraine. Many of them have lost their homes and some of them have lost their children or grandchildren. The generation called\, “The Children of War” are now seniors of war. \n \nIn addition to their historic significance as a generation\, these women are present in the spheres of daily life throughout the country. Possibly overlooked in society\, these women are vibrant and active in the public spaces of contemporary Ukraine. Working in the open-air bazaars\, resting on public park benches\, or strolling through cemeteries\, these women stake their claim on the urban space—blending\, coalescing\, disappearing. This exhibit endeavors to tell the stories of these grannies. It’s an invitation to look closer\, to see the stories which are written on their faces – they are old and tired\, but not invisible. \n \nAshley Bigham is a lecturer and the 2015-2016 Walter B. Sanders Fellow at the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. Prior to her appointment at Taubman College\, Ashley was a Fulbright Fellow in Lviv\, Ukraine\, researching and teaching at the Center of Urban History of East Central Europe. Bigham holds a Master of Architecture from Yale University and a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Tennessee. \n \nGrace Mahoney is a Ph.D. student in Slavic Languages and Literatures. In 2014-15 she lived in Ukraine on a U.S. Student Fulbright fellowship and interned with the Revolution of Dignity Museum in Kyiv in summer 2016. She has Bachelor's degrees in Visual Art and English Literature from Seattle University. Her work from this show was originally shown in the exhibition Portraits of the Unlost at America House in Kyiv in summer 2015. \n \nAn artists’ talk will be held from 4-5:30 pm on Friday\, September 23 in 1636 SSWB.\n\nExhibition sponsors: Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies\; A.

It intends to engage the campus and Ann Arbor community with national and international graffiti artists and their work\, offering a global perspective of street art and its importance as a part of public space and discourse within the public sphere. \n\nThe Greek capital of Athens is a vibrant cultural hot spot as a result of the financial crisis. Some are calling it the New Berlin\, as the next generation of artists and designers are turning to the streets to express social messages. \n\nGreek Artists Olga Alexopoulou and Cacao Rocks will be painting murals on the building façade at Washington and North State. Alexopoulou’s graphic figurative work and Rocks' vibrant cubist influenced imagery represent the diversity of expression in the Greek street art scene.\n\nThe project also includes exhibitions\, and public lectures and discussions\, all free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the artist: Olga Alexopoulou\, [Athenian born 1980]\, graduate of the Ruskin School of Art of Oxford University. In the last years her works have been exhibited in museums like Nigbo in China and her solo show in the Ethnological Museum of Thrace\, her latest solo exhibition at the Museum of Spyros Vasiliou in Athens\, but also in galleries around the world. Olga was ‘Artist in Spotlight’ for 2014 at the International Exhibition Tio Ilar Athens and was chosen to represent Greece in the global graffiti event 'She's a Leader' by Women's Forum. She has completed the largest\, so far\, graffiti in Greece and she was invited to the award winning Street Art Österlen festival\, Sweden.

Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays UID:30043-3321465@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Photography Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160422T140757 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160912T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160912T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink DESCRIPTION:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink celebrates gifts to the museum from two accomplished scholars with eclectic interests\, a keen appreciation of form\, and a love of learning from objects. Nesta Spink\, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979\, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. This selection of their gifts\, exhibited together for the first time\, provides insight into the minds of two connoisseurs with tastes that range far beyond their areas of specialization\; highlights include exquisite Whistler prints that are rarely on display and a rich representation of South Asian folk art. The Connoisseurs’ Legacy also honors the Spinks’ long relationship with the museum\, their roles as teachers of future scholars and curators\, and their commitment to public education.

Musical improvisation is captured as choreographic experience\, then encoded into digital animation and 3D-printed sculptural forms. The performances are transformed by their conversion into visual media: sound is removed\, movement is abstracted from human anatomy into non-representational geometry\, and time is rendered as space. Removed creates a dialogue between the intuitive and the formalized\, and invites questions about the nature of translation and the absences it conceals.\n\nJoin us for an exhibit reception on Tuesday\, September 13th.\n\nChristopher Burns is a composer\, improviser\, and multimedia artist whose works explore collage\, layering\, and the use of generative algorithms to form and develop both musical and visual elements. His work creates a dialogue between complexity and clarity\, incorporating densely braided\, rapidly shifting materials alongside gradually evolving\, linearly directed textures. He is currently scholar-in-residence at the Digital Media Commons.

An agent wants to communicate with another party but any revealed information can be intercepted and sold to a third party whose reaction harms the agent. The market for information induces an adverse sorting effect\, allocating the information to those types of third parties who harm the agent most. In equilibrium\, this limits information transmission by the agent\, but never fully deters it. We also consider agents who naively provide information to the market. Their presence renders traded information more valuable and\, thus\, harms sophisticated agents by increasing the third party’s demand for information. Half-baked regulatory interventions may hurt naive agents without helping sophisticated agents. Comparing monopoly and oligopoly markets\, we find that oligopoly is often better for the agent: it requires a higher value of traded information and therefore has to grant the agent more privacy.

Symmetric products have been used to produce examples of endomorphisms of P^k with certain characteristics. We use them in this talk to produce endomorphisms of P^k that are strongly postcritically finite. We also use them to characterize families of Lattes maps.

They are defined as intersection numbers on a certain moduli space\, and many individual Gromov-Witten invariants can be computed explicitly. Mirror symmetry is a beautiful conjecture about the structure of all genus-zero Gromov-Witten invariants of X\, which says that they are determined by a very explicit formula. The conjecture has been proved for toric varieties and toric stacks (and certain complete intersections in them). The proofs depend on the fact that these spaces have torus actions with isolated fixed points and 1-dimensional orbits. We prove the conjecture in the case X=Sym^d(P^r)\, whose 1-dimensional torus orbits are not isolated\, by evaluating certain integrals (trivial in the toric case) over Losev-Manin spaces of rational curves.\n Speaker(s): Rob Silversmith (Michigan) UID:33091-4684033@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33091 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 4088 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160908T113443 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160912T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160912T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | SPT3G: Constraining Fundamental Physics with a New Receiver for the South Pole Telescope DESCRIPTION:Precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have been among the most powerful probes of cosmological physics\, providing information about the structure and matter content of the universe. Even more precise measurements of the CMB and its polarization have the potential to constrain additional physics: testing models of inflation that operate at energy scales of ~1e16 GeV\, constraining the sum of the neutrino masses\, and probing dark energy. The 3rd-generation of receiver for the South Pole Telescope (SPT)\, SPT3G\, will provide a major advance in CMB sensitivity using an array of 16\,000 bolometers operating at 90\, 150\, and 220 GHz—10 times more detectors than the existing receiver of the SPT. In addition to the scientific motivation for this new instrument\, I will describe technical developments in pixel architecture\, readout electronics\, and optics which enable the large increase in detector count in SPT3G\, as well as the status of final ongoing integration occurring at Fermilab before shipping to the South Pole in November. Finally\, I will highlight some recent results from the existing receiver on the SPT\, SPTpol\, to illustrate the prospects for SPT3G.

This talk excavates the butcher’s philosophy of the twentieth century and its consequences for the chemical landscapes of life in the twenty-first century. The history of medicated feed for animals in the twentieth century has traditionally been seen as a rather specialized corner of agricultural history: the story of how antibiotics\, arsenicals\, hormones\, and vitamins were used to grow animals to market size earlier with less feed is an important part of the industrialization of American food systems. Yet it is also the history of a major re-articulation of the metabolic interrelations of bacteria\, fungi\, plants\, animals\, and humans\, in which flows of enzymes\, amino acids\, and secondary metabolites between organisms changed profoundly. This talk uses insights from this history to rethink frameworks for investigating the relationship between diet and health\, arguing for experimental and epidemiological approaches that are better equipped to take account of the historically-specific metabolic landscapes of human development and health.

The first is the view that S has a modal belief that p (e.g.\, S believes that probably-p) if and only if S has a corresponding degree of credence that p (e.g.\, S has a moderately high credence that p). This view is a component of credal expressivism\, a popular view among philosophers working on epistemic modals. The second is the view that S believes that p only if S has some credence that p. This view is entailed by most theories about the relationship between belief and credence. The third is that certain intuitive judgments about certain cases\, to be presented below\, are true. He will then attempt to solve the puzzle by arguing against the second view. He argues that one can believe that p without having any credence that p.\nThis paper advances the literature in a couple of ways. First\, the puzzle is new and connects three areas of philosophy: the semantics of epistemic modals\, the nature of belief\, and the relationship between belief and credence. These connections are not easy to see\, and it is valuable to see how views in one area have implications for views in the other areas. Second\, the puzzle provides an endorser of any one of the three views with the dilemma of having to reject one of the other two independently supported views. It is valuable\, for example\, to see that credal expressivism faces a dilemma\, since it is a relatively new and prominent view. \n\nMMP Event UID:33115-4691127@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33115 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Philosophy LOCATION:Angell Hall - Tanner Library, 1171 Angell Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160830T125942 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160912T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160912T210000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Author Event at Literati: \"Back Channel to Cuba\" DESCRIPTION:Featuring journalist and Back Channel to Cuba coauthor Peter Kornbluh in conversation with University of Michigan Professor Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof.\n\nChallenging the conventional wisdom of perpetual conflict and aggression between the United States and Cuba since 1959\, Peter Kornbluh and William M.

Invisible Women: Portraits of Aging in Ukraine DESCRIPTION:Photography by Ashley Bigham\, 2015-16 Walter B. Sanders Fellow\, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, U-M\; Watercolors by Grace Mahoney\, doctoral student in Slavic languages and literatures\, U-M.\n\nIn this exhibition\, artists Bigham and Mahoney investigate the visibility and social role of Ukraine’s older generation of women—embodied in a figure both iconic and ubiquitous\, the babusya. Seen in public transport\, in the market\, and on the street\, each babusya has a story to tell. Each has something to say\, something to gossip about\, and something to complain about. The current generation of Ukrainian grandmothers survived World War II\, the Holodomor\, and multiple repressions. They are also active in the present—although civic activism is often thought to be the province of the young\, many babusya joined in the actions of Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity in Kyiv and throughout the country. Now they witness the war in Eastern Ukraine. Many of them have lost their homes and some of them have lost their children or grandchildren. The generation called\, “The Children of War” are now seniors of war. \n \nIn addition to their historic significance as a generation\, these women are present in the spheres of daily life throughout the country. Possibly overlooked in society\, these women are vibrant and active in the public spaces of contemporary Ukraine. Working in the open-air bazaars\, resting on public park benches\, or strolling through cemeteries\, these women stake their claim on the urban space—blending\, coalescing\, disappearing. This exhibit endeavors to tell the stories of these grannies. It’s an invitation to look closer\, to see the stories which are written on their faces – they are old and tired\, but not invisible. \n \nAshley Bigham is a lecturer and the 2015-2016 Walter B. Sanders Fellow at the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. Prior to her appointment at Taubman College\, Ashley was a Fulbright Fellow in Lviv\, Ukraine\, researching and teaching at the Center of Urban History of East Central Europe. Bigham holds a Master of Architecture from Yale University and a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Tennessee. \n \nGrace Mahoney is a Ph.D. student in Slavic Languages and Literatures. In 2014-15 she lived in Ukraine on a U.S. Student Fulbright fellowship and interned with the Revolution of Dignity Museum in Kyiv in summer 2016. She has Bachelor's degrees in Visual Art and English Literature from Seattle University. Her work from this show was originally shown in the exhibition Portraits of the Unlost at America House in Kyiv in summer 2015. \n \nAn artists’ talk will be held from 4-5:30 pm on Friday\, September 23 in 1636 SSWB.\n\nExhibition sponsors: Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies\; A.

Some are calling it the New Berlin\, as the next generation of artists and designers are turning to the streets to express social messages. \n\nGreek Artists Olga Alexopoulou and Cacao Rocks will be painting murals on the building façade at Washington and North State. Alexopoulou’s graphic figurative work and Rocks' vibrant cubist influenced imagery represent the diversity of expression in the Greek street art scene.\n\nThe project also includes exhibitions\, and public lectures and discussions\, all free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the artist: Olga Alexopoulou\, [Athenian born 1980]\, graduate of the Ruskin School of Art of Oxford University. In the last years her works have been exhibited in museums like Nigbo in China and her solo show in the Ethnological Museum of Thrace\, her latest solo exhibition at the Museum of Spyros Vasiliou in Athens\, but also in galleries around the world. Olga was ‘Artist in Spotlight’ for 2014 at the International Exhibition Tio Ilar Athens and was chosen to represent Greece in the global graffiti event 'She's a Leader' by Women's Forum. She has completed the largest\, so far\, graffiti in Greece and she was invited to the award winning Street Art Österlen festival\, Sweden.

Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays UID:30043-3321466@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Photography Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160706T154352 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160913T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160913T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mira Henry: The View Inside DESCRIPTION:Before joining the faculty of the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles\, Mira Henry spent several years as a project architect\, immersed in the everyday\, banal details of how buildings get built: construction drawings\, material specs\, and building codes. She became an expert in seeing the world the way an architect sees it. But as a progressive architectural thinker\, Henry’s inspiration has been to deconstruct that vision\, to “unsee” the very forms and representations that constitute an architect’s basic language.\n\nThrough speculative experiments and conceptual drawings Henry discovers in static architectural details an unsettling range of figurative expression\, including\, for example\, the way the profiles of roof eaves resemble human heads. Wallpaper\, with its ability to mask\, transform\, or animate a space\, is also a prominent element in her work. Her projects explore how these features animate our subjective experience—what she calls our “shifting fantasies”—of architectural space.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Nesta Spink\, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979\, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. This selection of their gifts\, exhibited together for the first time\, provides insight into the minds of two connoisseurs with tastes that range far beyond their areas of specialization\; highlights include exquisite Whistler prints that are rarely on display and a rich representation of South Asian folk art. The Connoisseurs’ Legacy also honors the Spinks’ long relationship with the museum\, their roles as teachers of future scholars and curators\, and their commitment to public education.

Ex-ante forward\, guaranteed contracts can reduce uncertainty for migrants. I combine aspects of the two and ask\, how does origin-market uncertainty affect out-migration under forward contracts? I model migration under forward contracts and then turn to new\, unique microdata on roughly 250\,000 Indian indentured servants sent around the world under forward contracts. The migration decision is consistent with migrating to escape price volatility (my main measure of uncertainty). A one-standard deviation increase in price volatility increases extensive margin migration by 2% and the intensive margin by 5%. I find compositional differences by social network (caste)\, with networks responding differently to volatility. Lower-caste people respond more to prices\, wages\, and volatility\, and higher-caste people are more able to smooth against volatility. This is suggestive of caste-specific insurance networks. Finally\, volatility exerts a persistent negative effect on the return migration choice. A one-standard deviation in volatility at the time of departure lowers return migration (within roughly 10 years) by 5%.

For several centuries from the Ming and to the Qing dynasty\, The Peony Pavilion moved many readers and audiences for many years\, particularly female audiences at the final scene when they learned about the tragic fate of Du Liniang. In this presentation\, Professor Zou will delve into Du Liniang’s character\, a woman who lived under the extremely strict constraint on her living space and spiritual world\, both from ideological pressure and constraints on her body. Professor Zou explained that Du Liniang is not a “being” because she is alienated from the real word until she enters a condition of boundless life (death) and starts to have a song of her own\, a song that signifies “being.”\n\n*Image: Du Liniang and her “being” in three zones\n\nBiography\n\nZOU Yuanjiang is Professor of Philosophy and a supervisor of doctoral degree candidates at Wuhan University.

Comparative studies of decision-making in our closest living relatives—chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and bonobos (Pan paniscus)—are critical to disentangle the biological bases of human choice. I will present evidence that humans and nonhuman apes share similar patterns of decision-making in several contexts\, including high levels of patience and a bias against choosing the unknown. However\, human choices are also modulated by currency: decisions about money are treated differently from decisions about biologically-relevant rewards such as food. This suggests that human economic behaviors have evolutionary roots as far back as the last common ancestor with nonhuman apes\, but humans may also have specialized psychological skills for dealing with novel types of abstract rewards.

Musical improvisation is captured as choreographic experience\, then encoded into digital animation and 3D-printed sculptural forms. The performances are transformed by their conversion into visual media: sound is removed\, movement is abstracted from human anatomy into non-representational geometry\, and time is rendered as space. Removed creates a dialogue between the intuitive and the formalized\, and invites questions about the nature of translation and the absences it conceals.\n\nJoin us for an exhibit reception on Tuesday\, September 13th.\n\nChristopher Burns is a composer\, improviser\, and multimedia artist whose works explore collage\, layering\, and the use of generative algorithms to form and develop both musical and visual elements.

In particular\, the ability to fabricate heterostructures between different 2D materials allows for designer condensed matter systems. In this talk\, I will discuss our latest experimental progress on three different types of van der Waals heterostructures. I will first talk about interlayer excitons in semiconductor heterobilayers\, which are analogous to spatially indirect excitons in double quantum wells\, but with additional valley pseudospin properties. I will then discuss interlayer electron-phonon interactions in heterostructures formed by monolayer WSe¬2 and atomically thin boron nitride\, in which a Raman silent phonon in boron nitride is activated by resonantly coupling to the electronic states in WSe2. Finally\, I will conclude with a discussion of heterostructures formed by a monolayer semiconductor and a layered ferromagnetic semiconductor\, a new system for controlling spin and pseudospin in 2D semiconductors by magnetic proximity effect.\n\nBio: Xiaodong Xu is a Boeing Distinguished Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Washington.

His main research and teaching interests are in Latin literature and its reception. He has written books on Virgil\, Horace and on the Roman novelist Apuleius\, and has edited\, co-edited or co-authored more than twenty books on Virgil\, Horace\, the Roman Novel\, Classics and literary theory and Latin literature in general\, and on the reception of classical literature\; his most recent monograph is Framing The Ass: Literary Texture in Apuleius' Metamorphoses (OUP\, 2013)\, and his commentary on Horace Odes 2 will appear with CUP in 2016. He is currently working on further books on the receptions of Horace and Apuleius. He is very interested in how Classics is taught and researched elsewhere in the world. Outside his tutorial duties (still very much the core of what he does) he has been a visiting lecturer in five continents\, makes regular visits to North America and Italy\, has recently become more involved in classics in Malta\, Brazil and Japan\, and worked for some years on collaborative Latin commentary projects in the Netherlands and Germany\; he is an occasional visiting professor at the University of Copenhagen.

Loser’s Consent and Winner’s Restraint: The State of Democracy in Southeast Asia DESCRIPTION:What are the keys to stable\, effective democracy? Allen Hicken explores this question by drawing on the cases of Thailand\, Indonesia\, and the Philippines. First\, he will examine the state of political parties in the region and whether they are a necessary ingredient for a healthy democracy. He will then discuss what voters need to know in order to make good choices. Finally\, he will present two attitudes that must be present for a democracy to endure. \n \nAllen Hicken studies political institutions and political economy in developing countries. His primary focus has been on political parties and party systems in developing democracies and their role in policy making. His regional specialty is Southeast Asia where he has worked in Thailand\, the Philippines\, Indonesia\, Malaysia\, Singapore\, and Cambodia. Professor Hicken is the author of Building Party Systems in Developing Democracies\, published by Cambridge University Press in 2009. He is also the editor of Politics of Modern Southeast Asia: Critical Issues in Modern Politics (Routledge Press\, 2009)\, and coeditor of Party and Party System Institutionalization in Asia (Cambridge\, 2015).

We demonstrate that we can use emerging\, large-scale time-series data from modern sensors to directly construct\, in an adaptive manner\, governing equations\, even nonlinear dynamics\, that best model the system measured using sparsity-promoting techniques. Recent innovations also allow for handling multi-scale physics phenomenon and control protocols in an adaptive and robust way. The overall architecture is equation-free in that the dynamics and control protocols are discovered directly from data acquired from sensors. The theory developed is demonstrated on a number of example problems. Ultimately\, the method can be used to construct adaptive controllers which are capable of obtaining and maintaining optimal states while the machine learning and sparse sensing techniques characterize the system itself for rapid state identification and improved optimization.

How do people continue to live as citizens of a state that once sought their annihilation? While there is a plethora of work on the Armenian genocide and subsequently the diaspora\, there is a dearth in the literature on the Armenian citizens of Turkey\, especially those in Anatolia. This lecture examines the difficulties and possibilities of writing the Armenian past of genocide survivors in Anatolia when people and their stories are fragmented\, displaced\, and left no archives. The lecture will present a reading of the recent oral accounts of Armenians in Turkey in the light of Walter Benjamin’s concept of history with the aim of situating these works as possible sources of historiography\, and exploring critical methods for writing undocumented pasts.

Invisible Women: Portraits of Aging in Ukraine DESCRIPTION:Photography by Ashley Bigham\, 2015-16 Walter B. Sanders Fellow\, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, U-M\; Watercolors by Grace Mahoney\, doctoral student in Slavic languages and literatures\, U-M.\n\nIn this exhibition\, artists Bigham and Mahoney investigate the visibility and social role of Ukraine’s older generation of women—embodied in a figure both iconic and ubiquitous\, the babusya. Seen in public transport\, in the market\, and on the street\, each babusya has a story to tell. Each has something to say\, something to gossip about\, and something to complain about. The current generation of Ukrainian grandmothers survived World War II\, the Holodomor\, and multiple repressions. They are also active in the present—although civic activism is often thought to be the province of the young\, many babusya joined in the actions of Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity in Kyiv and throughout the country. Now they witness the war in Eastern Ukraine. Many of them have lost their homes and some of them have lost their children or grandchildren. The generation called\, “The Children of War” are now seniors of war. \n \nIn addition to their historic significance as a generation\, these women are present in the spheres of daily life throughout the country. Possibly overlooked in society\, these women are vibrant and active in the public spaces of contemporary Ukraine. Working in the open-air bazaars\, resting on public park benches\, or strolling through cemeteries\, these women stake their claim on the urban space—blending\, coalescing\, disappearing. This exhibit endeavors to tell the stories of these grannies. It’s an invitation to look closer\, to see the stories which are written on their faces – they are old and tired\, but not invisible. \n \nAshley Bigham is a lecturer and the 2015-2016 Walter B. Sanders Fellow at the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. Prior to her appointment at Taubman College\, Ashley was a Fulbright Fellow in Lviv\, Ukraine\, researching and teaching at the Center of Urban History of East Central Europe. Bigham holds a Master of Architecture from Yale University and a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Tennessee. \n \nGrace Mahoney is a Ph.D. student in Slavic Languages and Literatures. In 2014-15 she lived in Ukraine on a U.S. Student Fulbright fellowship and interned with the Revolution of Dignity Museum in Kyiv in summer 2016. She has Bachelor's degrees in Visual Art and English Literature from Seattle University. Her work from this show was originally shown in the exhibition Portraits of the Unlost at America House in Kyiv in summer 2015. \n \nAn artists’ talk will be held from 4-5:30 pm on Friday\, September 23 in 1636 SSWB.\n\nExhibition sponsors: Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies\; A.

It intends to engage the campus and Ann Arbor community with national and international graffiti artists and their work\, offering a global perspective of street art and its importance as a part of public space and discourse within the public sphere. \n\nThe Greek capital of Athens is a vibrant cultural hot spot as a result of the financial crisis. Some are calling it the New Berlin\, as the next generation of artists and designers are turning to the streets to express social messages. \n\nGreek Artists Olga Alexopoulou and Cacao Rocks will be painting murals on the building façade at Washington and North State. Alexopoulou’s graphic figurative work and Rocks' vibrant cubist influenced imagery represent the diversity of expression in the Greek street art scene.\n\nThe project also includes exhibitions\, and public lectures and discussions\, all free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the artist: Olga Alexopoulou\, [Athenian born 1980]\, graduate of the Ruskin School of Art of Oxford University. In the last years her works have been exhibited in museums like Nigbo in China and her solo show in the Ethnological Museum of Thrace\, her latest solo exhibition at the Museum of Spyros Vasiliou in Athens\, but also in galleries around the world. Olga was ‘Artist in Spotlight’ for 2014 at the International Exhibition Tio Ilar Athens and was chosen to represent Greece in the global graffiti event 'She's a Leader' by Women's Forum. She has completed the largest\, so far\, graffiti in Greece and she was invited to the award winning Street Art Österlen festival\, Sweden.

Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness.

His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays UID:30043-3321467@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Photography Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160706T154352 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160914T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160914T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mira Henry: The View Inside DESCRIPTION:Before joining the faculty of the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles\, Mira Henry spent several years as a project architect\, immersed in the everyday\, banal details of how buildings get built: construction drawings\, material specs\, and building codes. She became an expert in seeing the world the way an architect sees it. But as a progressive architectural thinker\, Henry’s inspiration has been to deconstruct that vision\, to “unsee” the very forms and representations that constitute an architect’s basic language.\n\nThrough speculative experiments and conceptual drawings Henry discovers in static architectural details an unsettling range of figurative expression\, including\, for example\, the way the profiles of roof eaves resemble human heads. Wallpaper\, with its ability to mask\, transform\, or animate a space\, is also a prominent element in her work. Her projects explore how these features animate our subjective experience—what she calls our “shifting fantasies”—of architectural space.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Nesta Spink\, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979\, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. This selection of their gifts\, exhibited together for the first time\, provides insight into the minds of two connoisseurs with tastes that range far beyond their areas of specialization\; highlights include exquisite Whistler prints that are rarely on display and a rich representation of South Asian folk art. The Connoisseurs’ Legacy also honors the Spinks’ long relationship with the museum\, their roles as teachers of future scholars and curators\, and their commitment to public education.

The Past\, Present and Future of Disability Rights in Ukraine DESCRIPTION:In her 2011 book Disability and Mobile Citizenship in Postsocialist Ukraine (Indiana U Press)\, Phillips documented some of the significant strides that the disability rights movement in contemporary Ukraine has made in securing rights and recognition for people with disabilities. She argued that by mobilizing a set of narratives that emphasize both socialist-era attention to collectivism\, entitlements and state support\, as well as more individualist\, consumer-based narratives privileging self-sufficiency\, people with disabilities in postsocialist societies such as Ukraine are enacting a new kind of “mobile citizenship” to create and access opportunities for rehabilitation\, education\, and employment. \n \n How have disability rights changed during the last 5-10 years in Ukraine? What effects have the Ukrainian (Maidan) revolution of 2014-15 and the ongoing war in eastern Ukraine had on the disability rights movement\, especially with thousands of veterans with disabilities returning from the front? What might the future of disability rights in Ukraine look like? \n \n In this lecture Phillips considers how recent events have impacted disability rights initiatives in Ukraine by tracking the ongoing life trajectories of the “heroes” of her 2011 book—men and women living with serious physical disabilities—to ask whether people with disabilities in Ukraine are still “mobile citizens” making successful claims for individual and collective rights in a war-torn country in deep economic\, social and political crisis. \n \n Sarah D. Phillips is professor of anthropology and director of the Russian and East European Institute (REEI) at Indiana University. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2002. Her research specialties are in gender\, health\, disability\, social movements\, and identity politics in the former Soviet Union\, especially Ukraine. Phillips has published two books with Indiana University Press\, Women’s Social Activism in the New Ukraine: Development and the Politics of Differentiation (2008) and Disability and Mobile Citizenship in Postsocialist Ukraine (2011). She is currently co-investigator on a collaborative four-year research project at the intersection of anthropology and public health called “A Novel\, Bottom-up Approach to HIV prevention among Injecting Drug Users in Ukraine.” Phillips teaches courses in the Anthropology of Russia and East Europe\, Postsocialist Gender Formations\, and Medical Anthropology\, as well as the REEI MA Capstone seminar. \n \n Part of the Minorities series which will focus on the fates and challenges various minorities face\, from ethnic and racial groups to people with disabilities and members of LGBT communities.

Musical improvisation is captured as choreographic experience\, then encoded into digital animation and 3D-printed sculptural forms. The performances are transformed by their conversion into visual media: sound is removed\, movement is abstracted from human anatomy into non-representational geometry\, and time is rendered as space. Removed creates a dialogue between the intuitive and the formalized\, and invites questions about the nature of translation and the absences it conceals.\n\nJoin us for an exhibit reception on Tuesday\, September 13th.\n\nChristopher Burns is a composer\, improviser\, and multimedia artist whose works explore collage\, layering\, and the use of generative algorithms to form and develop both musical and visual elements. His work creates a dialogue between complexity and clarity\, incorporating densely braided\, rapidly shifting materials alongside gradually evolving\, linearly directed textures.

However\, the origins of these behaviors are unclear. Are humans initially driven by purely selfish motives and must be taught to be cooperative? Or do we have a biological predisposition for cooperation? How do humans learn to share a common resource according to what’s ‘fair’? \nI will present a framework that derives hypotheses about the critical proximate mechanisms supporting cooperation from evolutionary theory. I propose that for cooperation to evolve\, individuals have to possess two distinct sets of psychological skills: the ability to identify and create opportunities for cooperative interactions with others (creating benefit) and mechanisms to solve the free-rider problem to sustain cooperation as a viable strategy (distributing benefit). \nTo evaluate this framework\, I will present empirical studies with children examining how these two sets of skills develop over childhood. In particular\, while young children already possess basic skills to help others and share valuable resources\, social norms and social experience begin to influence children’s cooperation in later ontogeny. These results are complemented by studies with chimpanzees to illuminate the extent to which these abilities are unique to humans\, or shared with our evolutionary relatives. I conclude with a proposal of how this framework motivates new developmental\, comparative\, and cross-cultural research to shed light on the ontogenetic and phylogenetic roots of the psychological abilities underpinning human cooperation.

In general\, quantum phase transitions can be classified into two categories: (1) conventional and (2) topological. Conventional quantum phase transitions are the quantum generalization of thermal phase transitions. Similar to their classical counterparts\, they are characterized by spontaneous symmetry breaking. A topological phase transition doesn’t have any symmetry breaking. Instead\, it is the singular point where the quantum wavefunction changes its topology. In comparison to conventional phase transitions\, our knowledge on topological phase transitions are much more limited. In fact\, we don’t even have a general recipe yet to determine whether two quantum states have the same topology or not\, and a complete and constraint-free classification of topological states is still absent. As a step toward this ultimate goal\, we prove a general theorem: for two arbitrary quantum states\, as long as the inner product between the two wavefunctions is nonzero\, there exists an adiabatic path connecting the two quantum states. This theorem can be utilized to study all topological phase transitions in non-interacting or weakly-correlated systems\, as well as certain strongly-correlated systems. For topological phase transitions\, our theorem implies that two quantum states with finite wavefunction inner product must belong to the same quantum phase and thus have exactly the same topological structure. We will further discussion how this theorem can help us understand the classification of topological states\, as well as its implications in experiments.

The most notable of these narratives concerns the history of anti-Japanese armed struggle. Conferring a sense of sovereignty\, authenticity\, and legitimacy to the North Korean state\, anti-Japanese armed struggle has continued to serve as a rich source of nationalist lore and a highly effective vehicle for forging identity and unity. In fact\, it was by laying claim to this history and narrativizing it in specific ways that Kim Il-sung was able to transform national longing into personal charisma. Kim Il-sung will thus emerge in this presentation not merely as the represented hero of anti-Japanese armed struggle\, but as that narrative’s definitive author.\n\nHyungki Shin is a professor at the Department of Korean Language and Literature of Yonsei University in South Korea\, where he teaches Korean literature and history of modern Korean criticism.\n\nProfessor Shin has conducted research\, among other topics\, on Korean literature in the post-liberation period and on North Korean literature.\n\nHis publications include “A Study on Literary Movements after the Liberation of Korea” (1988) (Haebang chikhu ŭi munhak undongnon)\, “A Study on Stories in the Liberation Period” (Haebanggi sosŏl yŏn'gu) (1992)\, “Understanding North Korean Fiction” (Pukhan sosŏl ŭi ihae) (1996)\, “Transition and Fate” (Pyŏnhwa wa unmyŏng) (1997)\, “A History of North Korean Literature: From Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Literature to ‘Juche’ Literature” (Pukhan munhaksa : hangil hyŏngmyŏng munhak esŏ chuch'e munhak kkaji) (2000)\, “Fascism in Literature” (Munhak sok ŭi p'asijŭm) (2001)\, “Beyond Nation Narrative” (Minjok iyagi rŭl nŏmŏsŏ) (2003)\, “Narrated History―A Criticism on the Figure of History depicted by Narrative” (Iyagi toen yŏksa : Nam-Pukhan minjok iyagi ka kŭryŏnaen yŏksasang pip'an) (2005)\, “Records of Schizophrenia\; Re-reading Fictions Modernism from the Periphery” (Punyŏl ŭi kirok : chubyŏnbu modŏnijŭm sosŏl ŭl tasi ikta) (2010)\, “Narratives of the Age\, Age of Narratives” (Sidae ŭi iyagi\, iyagi ŭi sidae) (2015).

In this talk I'll give an introduction to the Hilbert metric on a manifold with a real projective structure and give a number of applications. My plan is to first describe a theorem of Kobayashi which gives a sufficient condition for the developing map to be a diffeomorphism onto a convex domain. Then I plan on describing work of Benoist which gives further restrictions on the developing map when the fundamental group is Gromov hyperbolic. I will end the talk with some open questions.

Bryant and P. Griffiths. It stayed largely unnoticed that one and the only PDE (but with different initial data) lies in the base of many classical isoperimetric inequalities. But more importantly\, by a funny change of variables (provided\, for example\, via EDS) this PDE can be made linear: namely\, the inverse heat equation. Then such classical inequalities as log-Sobolev\, Poincare\, Beckner--Sobolev\, Bobkov's inequality become particular solutions of this linear inverse heat equation. This observation allows us to invent many new isoperimetric inequalities (sharp of course) that are ``MORE sharp\" than the sharp classical ones. For example\, we improved the Beckner--Sobolev inequality\, and the talk will contain such an improvement for a particular exponent (where the new inequality looks especially nice). There are also other new isoperimetric inequalities in the paper having as CONSEQUENCES the classical ones. Our understanding is that the method of exterior differential systems (EDS) has been never used in any harmonic or geometric analysis inside the scope of our knowledge .\n(Joint work with Paata Ivanisvili).

In particular\, games belong to and complicate the experimental economy of the early twenty-first century. A central aspect of this economy has been the mobilization of forethought and forms of nonconscious cognition. How then can the non-conscious affects of games help us change conscious levels of human life\, such as critical thought\, judgment\, and ultimately action? In their interplay between rationality and affect\, videogames have a formidable concept-generating capacity. To demonstrate the possibilities and limits of this medium\, this talk ultimately turns to the case study of Anna Anthropy's Dys4ia: an autobiographical piece that uses game-specific elements such as unfair rules\, unsatisfying mechanics\, unattainable objectives\, and diverse avatars to convey the difficulties of transgender experience within heteronormative culture.\n \nPatrick Jagoda is associate professor of English and Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Chicago. He is also a co-editor of Critical Inquiry and co-founder of the Game Changer Chicago Design Lab and the Transmedia Story Lab. Two of his books have been published in 2016: Network Aesthetics (University of Chicago Press) and The Game Worlds of Jason Rohrer (co-authored with Michael Maizels\, MIT Press). Jagoda has also worked on several projects related to digital storytelling\, transmedia game design\, and new media learning. For more information\, see: http://patrickjagoda.com/.

The causal theory of reference often used by naturalistic moral realists entails that such disagreement is impossible. To avoid this bad result\, I invoke the experientialist analysis of moral concepts\, on which they apply to objective properties represented by feelings like guilt\, horror\, and admiration. Combined with a new theory of reference based on empathy\, the experientialist analysis accounts for interplanetary disagreement and entails ethical hedonism.

Invisible Women: Portraits of Aging in Ukraine DESCRIPTION:Photography by Ashley Bigham\, 2015-16 Walter B. Sanders Fellow\, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, U-M\; Watercolors by Grace Mahoney\, doctoral student in Slavic languages and literatures\, U-M.\n\nIn this exhibition\, artists Bigham and Mahoney investigate the visibility and social role of Ukraine’s older generation of women—embodied in a figure both iconic and ubiquitous\, the babusya. Seen in public transport\, in the market\, and on the street\, each babusya has a story to tell. Each has something to say\, something to gossip about\, and something to complain about. The current generation of Ukrainian grandmothers survived World War II\, the Holodomor\, and multiple repressions. They are also active in the present—although civic activism is often thought to be the province of the young\, many babusya joined in the actions of Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity in Kyiv and throughout the country. Now they witness the war in Eastern Ukraine. Many of them have lost their homes and some of them have lost their children or grandchildren. The generation called\, “The Children of War” are now seniors of war. \n \nIn addition to their historic significance as a generation\, these women are present in the spheres of daily life throughout the country. Possibly overlooked in society\, these women are vibrant and active in the public spaces of contemporary Ukraine. Working in the open-air bazaars\, resting on public park benches\, or strolling through cemeteries\, these women stake their claim on the urban space—blending\, coalescing\, disappearing. This exhibit endeavors to tell the stories of these grannies. It’s an invitation to look closer\, to see the stories which are written on their faces – they are old and tired\, but not invisible. \n \nAshley Bigham is a lecturer and the 2015-2016 Walter B. Sanders Fellow at the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. Prior to her appointment at Taubman College\, Ashley was a Fulbright Fellow in Lviv\, Ukraine\, researching and teaching at the Center of Urban History of East Central Europe. Bigham holds a Master of Architecture from Yale University and a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Tennessee. \n \nGrace Mahoney is a Ph.D. student in Slavic Languages and Literatures. In 2014-15 she lived in Ukraine on a U.S. Student Fulbright fellowship and interned with the Revolution of Dignity Museum in Kyiv in summer 2016. She has Bachelor's degrees in Visual Art and English Literature from Seattle University. Her work from this show was originally shown in the exhibition Portraits of the Unlost at America House in Kyiv in summer 2015. \n \nAn artists’ talk will be held from 4-5:30 pm on Friday\, September 23 in 1636 SSWB.\n\nExhibition sponsors: Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies\; A.

It intends to engage the campus and Ann Arbor community with national and international graffiti artists and their work\, offering a global perspective of street art and its importance as a part of public space and discourse within the public sphere. \n\nThe Greek capital of Athens is a vibrant cultural hot spot as a result of the financial crisis. Some are calling it the New Berlin\, as the next generation of artists and designers are turning to the streets to express social messages. \n\nGreek Artists Olga Alexopoulou and Cacao Rocks will be painting murals on the building façade at Washington and North State. Alexopoulou’s graphic figurative work and Rocks' vibrant cubist influenced imagery represent the diversity of expression in the Greek street art scene.\n\nThe project also includes exhibitions\, and public lectures and discussions\, all free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the artist: Olga Alexopoulou\, [Athenian born 1980]\, graduate of the Ruskin School of Art of Oxford University. In the last years her works have been exhibited in museums like Nigbo in China and her solo show in the Ethnological Museum of Thrace\, her latest solo exhibition at the Museum of Spyros Vasiliou in Athens\, but also in galleries around the world. Olga was ‘Artist in Spotlight’ for 2014 at the International Exhibition Tio Ilar Athens and was chosen to represent Greece in the global graffiti event 'She's a Leader' by Women's Forum. She has completed the largest\, so far\, graffiti in Greece and she was invited to the award winning Street Art Österlen festival\, Sweden.

Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays UID:30043-3321468@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Photography Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160706T154352 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160915T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160915T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mira Henry: The View Inside DESCRIPTION:Before joining the faculty of the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles\, Mira Henry spent several years as a project architect\, immersed in the everyday\, banal details of how buildings get built: construction drawings\, material specs\, and building codes. She became an expert in seeing the world the way an architect sees it. But as a progressive architectural thinker\, Henry’s inspiration has been to deconstruct that vision\, to “unsee” the very forms and representations that constitute an architect’s basic language.\n\nThrough speculative experiments and conceptual drawings Henry discovers in static architectural details an unsettling range of figurative expression\, including\, for example\, the way the profiles of roof eaves resemble human heads. Wallpaper\, with its ability to mask\, transform\, or animate a space\, is also a prominent element in her work. Her projects explore how these features animate our subjective experience—what she calls our “shifting fantasies”—of architectural space.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Nesta Spink\, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979\, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. This selection of their gifts\, exhibited together for the first time\, provides insight into the minds of two connoisseurs with tastes that range far beyond their areas of specialization\; highlights include exquisite Whistler prints that are rarely on display and a rich representation of South Asian folk art. The Connoisseurs’ Legacy also honors the Spinks’ long relationship with the museum\, their roles as teachers of future scholars and curators\, and their commitment to public education.

In light of Kolomoki’s proposed emphasis on communal\nceremony\, internal divisions between groups of households highlight the tension\nbetween public and private expressions of social difference and cohesion in early\nvillages. New radiocarbon dates from the southern margins of the village have\nallowed us to assess the contemporaneity of these patterns\, and by extension\,\nthe chronology of village aggregation.

Musical improvisation is captured as choreographic experience\, then encoded into digital animation and 3D-printed sculptural forms. The performances are transformed by their conversion into visual media: sound is removed\, movement is abstracted from human anatomy into non-representational geometry\, and time is rendered as space. Removed creates a dialogue between the intuitive and the formalized\, and invites questions about the nature of translation and the absences it conceals.\n\nJoin us for an exhibit reception on Tuesday\, September 13th.\n\nChristopher Burns is a composer\, improviser\, and multimedia artist whose works explore collage\, layering\, and the use of generative algorithms to form and develop both musical and visual elements. His work creates a dialogue between complexity and clarity\, incorporating densely braided\, rapidly shifting materials alongside gradually evolving\, linearly directed textures. He is currently scholar-in-residence at the Digital Media Commons.

The main result is that there is a positive integer B(n\,d) such that given n forms F_i of positive degree at most d in a polynomial ring R in N variables over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic 0 or greater than d (note that B = B(n\,d) does NOT depend on N or K)\, there exists a regular sequence of forms g_1\, ...\, g_h\, where h is at most B\, of degree at most d such that the F_i are in the ring K[g_1\, ...\, g_h]. This places the F_i in a \"small\" polynomial subring of R over which R is faithfully flat (in fact\, free). This implies Stillman's conjecture that the projective dimension of the ideal I generated by the F_i is bounded independent of N in the case where the characteristic is 0 or large: it will be at most B(n\,d). The authors had\nearlier shown this only up to degree 4. One can also bound all numerical data about the\nprimary decomposition of I independent of N. The authors have also obtained these\nresults for d = 2 and d = 3 with no restriction on the characteristic\, and in degree 4 except in characteristic 2. Many open questions remain.

I use worker- and establishment-level data to test the regulation using complementary regression discontinuity and difference-in-difference approaches. I find that regulation is\, at best\, a partial explanation\, accounting for no more than one quarter of the rapid\, widespread change in harvesting practices. I develop a tipping-point model to show how rising wages may have played an important role even though the change in wages was gradual and the change in harvesting was abrupt\; instrumental variables estimates imply that increasing wages alone are sufficient to explain the adoption of green technology.

Understanding which aspects of the within-host environment limit drug resistant pathogens\, and how these ‘superbugs’ interact with other populations of pathogens in that environment\, is vital for the development of novel\, ecologically-inspired resistance management strategies. Using a malaria mouse model\, we demonstrate that a nutrient limits drug resistant malaria parasites and mediates competition between drug resistant and drug susceptible parasites. We then show that manipulating the availability of such within-host nutrients can prevent the emergence of drug resistant parasites by intensifying competitive interactions between resistant parasites and their susceptible competitors. An ecological approach thus reveals an evolutionarily robust means of thwarting the emergence and spread of drug resistance.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m. UID:32827-4627100@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/32827 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160901T145354 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160915T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160915T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FALL 2016 COMMUNICATION & MEDIA SPEAKER SERIES The Naked Blogger of Cairo: Towards an Inclusive Global Media Studies DESCRIPTION:Uprisings spread like wildfire across the Arab world from 2010 to 2012\, fueled by a desire for popular sovereignty. In Tunisia\, Egypt\, Syria\, and elsewhere\, protesters flooded the streets and the media\, voicing dissent through slogans\, graffiti\, puppetry\, videos\, and satire that called for the overthrow of dictators and the regimes that sustained them.\n\nInvestigating what drives people to risk everything to express themselves in rebellious art\, The Naked Blogger of Cairo uncovers the creative insurgency at the heart of the Arab uprisings. While commentators have stressed the role of social media\, Marwan M. Kraidy shows that the essential medium of political expression was not cell phone texts or Twitter but something more fundamental: the human body. Brutal governments that coerced citizens through torture and rape found themselves confronted with the bodies of protesters\, burning with defiance and boldly violating taboos. Activists challenged authority in brazen acts of self-immolation\, nude activism\, and hunger strikes. The bodies of dictators became a focus of ridicule. A Web series presented Syria’s Bashar al-Assad as a pathetic finger puppet\, while cartoons and videos spread a meme of Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak as a regurgitating cow.\n\nThe rise of digital culture complicates our understanding of the human body in revolutionary times. As Kraidy argues\, technology publicizes defiance\, but the body remains the vital nexus of physical struggle and digital communication\, destabilizing distinctions between “the real world” and virtual reality\, spurring revolutionary debates about the role of art\, and anchoring Islamic State’s attempted hijacking of creative insurgency.\n\nMarwan M. Kraidy is the Anthony Shadid Chair in Global Media\, Politics and Culture\, and Founding Director of the Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication (CARGC) at the Annenberg School for Communication\, University of Pennsylvania\, where he is also affiliated with the Middle East Center. An expert in global communication and a specialist in Arab media and politics\, he also researches the relationship between culture and geopolitics\, global media industries\, theories of identity and modernity\, and the political symbolism of the human body in the public sphere. Currently he is also an Andrew Carnegie Fellow.\n\nKraidy’s work is distinctive for its deep reliance on primary materials\, theoretical grounding in a multilingual literature\, and a comparative approach across historical periods\, geographical sites\, cultural forms\, and media platforms. Ongoing research focuses on war machines in the digital age (particularly Islamic State)\, speed\, spectacle and security in global communication\, and the rise and fall of Turkey in Arab public culture. He teaches courses on globalization\, culture and revolution\, the body in digital culture\, contentious publics\, and the geopolitics of popular culture.\n\nKraidy has published 10 books\, penned 120 essays and chapters\, won 50 awards for teaching and scholarship\, delivered keynote addresses and named lectures worldwide\, and advised universities\, civil society organizations\, foundations\, and governments. Notable books include Hybridity\, or the Cultural Logic of Globalization (Temple University Press\, 2005)\, and Reality Television and Arab Politics: Contention in Public Life (Cambridge University Press 2010)\, supported by a Fellowship from the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and a grant from the United States Institute of Peace\, and winner of three major prizes: the Diamond Anniversary Best Book Award and the Roderick P.

This is because they are related by mutation\, an operation on knots that has subtle geometric effects. Many classical and modern knot invariants cannot tell mutants apart. In this talk\, I will discuss how various flavors of knot Floer homology detect and/or fail to detect mutations. The main result is a partial proof of Baldwin and Levine's conjecture that Conway mutation preserves delta-graded knot Floer homology.

Williams fills a number of pot holes with his comical and (dis)figured sculptures that are composites of everyday and sculptural objects\, such as clothing articles and resin-coated toruses. His interventions become a morphological inquiry that strives toward a greater fertility between objects and beings\, language and the world.\n\nArtist's Statement: Pot hole. Hole saw. Hole in one. Hole in many. Hole out. Hole up. A hole in the wall. A hole in the heart. A hole in a sole. A whole-full soul. The existence of a hole is the fantasy of possibility\, the possibility of possession\, and the possession of a hole-full knowledge. Everything could be engaged through holes.\n\nAn asshole allows for the turning inward and outward of itself and\, thus\, commits itself to a perpetual transaction and contact of things. Like an asshole\, a pot hole is gaping for matter. Unlike an asshole\, a pot hole is gaping to matter to not matter anymore. Nonetheless\, the forming of pot holes evinces everything: commerce\; transportation\; class\; race\; water\; economics\; topography of basins\, streets\, and glaciers\; urban planning\; politics\; anatomy\; public policy\; etc. The hole theory may reveal such phenomenon.\n\nArtist William Pope.L writes about the hole theory—a theory of nothingness. His theory propagates without a point (to make). Nonetheless one (or many) exists. It resides in-between the spaces of the theoretical discourse\, away from definitive linguistic acts\, and in the imaginary faculty of our minds. Such theoretical elusion and self-reflexivity provides the means to occlude the theory: yet\, its paradoxical framing leaves the discourse wide open. The application of the theory ensures failure while its non-activity succeeds in procuring validation. A theory of nothingness has no substance\, yet it provides subsistence\; moreover\, it allows extensive contact with other modes of being\, even those that are existentially marginal. \n\nThe wholesomeness of a pot hole relies not on the integrity of a cohesive whole but on the incongruity of wholeness—a paradox of being. Such paradox affords the presence of a pot hole or any hole to reside at the brink of a soulfulness of all things. A worldly (de)formation. A holy reformation of life.\n\nCurator's Statement: Levester Williams’ work offers the unusual synthesis of the profane and the sublime… \n\nLike a sonnet\, a gutter\, a lover’s flesh\, a siren\, like sweat\, a high polish\, a thud in a bucket\, \n\nLike muck\, like gold\, like marble\, like a growl\, a dusk\, like a gust\, a gnarl\, a sapphire\, a spit wad\, like a last murmur. \n\nAnd it is this unabashed particularity… the hand in hand of the big picture that sets his work apart. \n\nAs an artist\, he is a humanist\, a natural\, authentic\, with a wholly original voice\, both Id and tribunal.\n\nAs part of the Institute’s year of Public Policy\, Williams maintained a studio on North Campus\, but also worked in the field\, isolating and making impressions of potholes from Detroit residential neighborhood roads in disrepair.\n\nHe returned to the original pot holes\, filling them with pieces of clothing and mundane household objects imbedded in the resin casts. In the process these too became imprints\, referencing the deeply invested communities and relationships that offer sustenance in the city of Detroit despite many challenges and deficits.\n\nConceptually\, Williams’ work is as much about filling as failing\, what can and cannot hold us\, as much about impermanence as sustenance\, acknowledging ultimately there is no quick fix\, despite a pavement loaded with good intentions. -Amanda Krugliak\, Institute for the Humanities curator UID:33043-4653283@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Detroit,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

Their dynamic and warm live performances mix the most touching old Irish songs with hard-hitting reels and jigs\, and the band members' interest in and sheer enjoyment of each other musically is apparent even to audience members new to the Irish tradition. For the Irish music enthusiast\, Altan has a treasure trove of brilliant moves to offer: the mix of sounds from Donegal with outside influences\, the sheer virtuosity of the players\, the beauty\, delicate singing\, and down-to-earth charm of singer and fiddler Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh. Anywhere they go\, a concert by Altan is the Irish music event of the year. Popmatters calls the band's latest album\, \"The Widening Gyre\,\" \"a defining moment for Altan.\" UID:29358-3076212@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29358 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Music,The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

Invisible Women: Portraits of Aging in Ukraine DESCRIPTION:Photography by Ashley Bigham\, 2015-16 Walter B. Sanders Fellow\, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, U-M\; Watercolors by Grace Mahoney\, doctoral student in Slavic languages and literatures\, U-M.\n\nIn this exhibition\, artists Bigham and Mahoney investigate the visibility and social role of Ukraine’s older generation of women—embodied in a figure both iconic and ubiquitous\, the babusya. Seen in public transport\, in the market\, and on the street\, each babusya has a story to tell. Each has something to say\, something to gossip about\, and something to complain about. The current generation of Ukrainian grandmothers survived World War II\, the Holodomor\, and multiple repressions. They are also active in the present—although civic activism is often thought to be the province of the young\, many babusya joined in the actions of Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity in Kyiv and throughout the country. Now they witness the war in Eastern Ukraine. Many of them have lost their homes and some of them have lost their children or grandchildren. The generation called\, “The Children of War” are now seniors of war. \n \nIn addition to their historic significance as a generation\, these women are present in the spheres of daily life throughout the country. Possibly overlooked in society\, these women are vibrant and active in the public spaces of contemporary Ukraine. Working in the open-air bazaars\, resting on public park benches\, or strolling through cemeteries\, these women stake their claim on the urban space—blending\, coalescing\, disappearing. This exhibit endeavors to tell the stories of these grannies. It’s an invitation to look closer\, to see the stories which are written on their faces – they are old and tired\, but not invisible. \n \nAshley Bigham is a lecturer and the 2015-2016 Walter B. Sanders Fellow at the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. Prior to her appointment at Taubman College\, Ashley was a Fulbright Fellow in Lviv\, Ukraine\, researching and teaching at the Center of Urban History of East Central Europe. Bigham holds a Master of Architecture from Yale University and a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Tennessee. \n \nGrace Mahoney is a Ph.D. student in Slavic Languages and Literatures. In 2014-15 she lived in Ukraine on a U.S. Student Fulbright fellowship and interned with the Revolution of Dignity Museum in Kyiv in summer 2016.

Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays UID:30043-3321469@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Photography Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160706T154352 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160916T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160916T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mira Henry: The View Inside DESCRIPTION:Before joining the faculty of the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles\, Mira Henry spent several years as a project architect\, immersed in the everyday\, banal details of how buildings get built: construction drawings\, material specs\, and building codes. She became an expert in seeing the world the way an architect sees it. But as a progressive architectural thinker\, Henry’s inspiration has been to deconstruct that vision\, to “unsee” the very forms and representations that constitute an architect’s basic language.\n\nThrough speculative experiments and conceptual drawings Henry discovers in static architectural details an unsettling range of figurative expression\, including\, for example\, the way the profiles of roof eaves resemble human heads. Wallpaper\, with its ability to mask\, transform\, or animate a space\, is also a prominent element in her work. Her projects explore how these features animate our subjective experience—what she calls our “shifting fantasies”—of architectural space.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Nesta Spink\, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979\, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. This selection of their gifts\, exhibited together for the first time\, provides insight into the minds of two connoisseurs with tastes that range far beyond their areas of specialization\; highlights include exquisite Whistler prints that are rarely on display and a rich representation of South Asian folk art. The Connoisseurs’ Legacy also honors the Spinks’ long relationship with the museum\, their roles as teachers of future scholars and curators\, and their commitment to public education.

We draw from western training styles\, but we also draw from many other traditions. This workshop helps participants to experience song/dance/stories as a communal act. The warm up incorporates African diaspora traditions and unites students through chants and circle dances. Dancers then use movement and song to collectively shape choreographic space. Later\, they explore how each student’s personal rituals can expand to become fragments of choreography. At the end of the class\, dancers share their work and create a new devised piece of collaborative storytelling.” \nEach Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities.\nEach guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15 minutes\, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist\, discussing their career\; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional\, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.

As such\, the eigenvalue problem associated with linearizing about the traveling wave is often reduced to a boundary value problem of a linear non-autonomous ordinary differential equation on the line. In such problems\, one can use the geometry of vector bundles and the Grassmannian to recast the original (temporal) spectral problem as a geometric condition. I plan to talk about a couple of examples of how this technique has been applied\, first with some scalar-valued partial differential equations and then\, if time permits\, with systems.

As a higher order analogue\, we seek for similar characterizations for the Paneitz operator and Q-curvature in higher dimensions. For a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension at least six\, we prove that the existence of a conformal metric with positive scalar and Q-curvature is equivalent to the positivity of both the Yamabe invariant and the Paneitz operator. In addition\, we also study the relationship between different conformal invariants associated to the Q-curvature. This is joint work with Matt Gursky and Fengbo Hang.

Given the lack of clear evidence for WIMP signatures at direct\, indirect and collider searches\, we are motivated to look beyond the standard lore. In a model independent framework complementary to LHC monojet searches\, we discuss searches at high luminosity colliders for heavy quarkonium decays to dark matter particles with masses below the weak scale. Also\, we investigate unconventional MSSM parameter space by relaxing commonly made simplifying assumptions\, such as minimal flavor violation\, then reexamining constraints from direct dark matter detection and the associated nuclear physics uncertainties. Finally\, moving from a single particle to a multi-component dark matter framework\, we consider the impact of many particles decaying in the early universe on the application of constraints from light element abundances and the CMB.

In genus 0 and 1\, these representations grow factorially in the number of marked points\, but carry a \"secret filtration\" whose graded pieces are representation stable.\n\nAlthough I will present the complex in question as a moduli space for tropical curves\, it has other natural interpretations\, e.g. as topological quotients of Culler-Vogtmann Outer Space\, Harvey's complex of curves on a punctured surface\, and Hatcher's complex of sphere systems\; and as the dual complex of the boundary divisor in the Deligne-Mumford moduli space of stable algebraic curves. Hence the properties of this space and its homology have interpretations in each of these contexts.\n\nBased on joint work with Melody Chan and Soren Galatius. Speaker(s): Sam Payne (Yale U.)

This is particularly true when larger-scale processes\, such as climate and weather\, need to be translated to finer space-time scale process dynamics\, such as soil moisture\, channel hydraulics\, and erosion and sediment transport. In this context\, we pursue both modeling approaches and empirical observations and this presentation will illustrate both\, highlighting latest research efforts. Specifically\, we have developed a suite of integrated models simulating hydrologic and vegetation processes\, flow dynamics\, erosion\, and sediment transport\, tRIBS+VEGGIE-FEaST. The model aims to take advantage of the growing wealth of data representing watershed topography\, vegetation\, and soil\, as well as urban environment\, facilitating mechanistic exploration of (eco)hydrological factors and their feedback mechanisms. Research applications will demonstrate an urban flooding problem and a mechanistic attribution of non-uniqueness of upland soil erosion. Another example will focus on ecohydrology of Amazonian rainforests that experience seasonal droughts\, while showing maximum rates of photosynthesis and evapotranspiration during these dry intervals. This presentation will discuss a hypothesis of “root niche separation” and highlight preliminary results from the on-going field monitoring campaign\, its challenges and opportunities.

While global attention was transfixed by the capture of oil tankers and large container ships\, the expansion of piracy in the Indian Ocean led to many more engagements between pirates and motorized dhows that sail from port to port in the western Indian Ocean littoral. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in India\, UAE\, and Somalia this talk focuses on these interactions between pirates and dhows in the watery expanses of the Western Indian Ocean. Specifically\, by highlighting what came to be known as the practice of “mothershipping”–the use of captured dhows to expand the spatial and temporal range of piracy—I note worlds of violence\, threat and hospitality constructed in these moments of encounter. Instead of a vision of the Indian Ocean that foregrounds long histories and cosmopolitan exchange\, “mothershipping” emphasizes forms of contact that are both fleeting and overwhelmed by real and potential violence. Through an ethnographic engagement with this practice\, I show how these onboard encounters can help theorize spatial and regional futures in the Indian Ocean and beyond.

We do not view additional criteria necessary nor did we find significant deficiencies in the four Rule of 5 criteria originally proposed by Lipinski and coworkers. BDDCS builds upon the Rule of 5 and can quite successfully predict drug disposition characteristics for drugs both meeting and not meeting Rule of 5 criteria. More recent expansions of classification systems have been proposed and do provide useful qualitative and quantitative predictions for clearance relationships. However\, the broad range of applicability of BDDCS beyond just clearance predictions gives a great deal of further usefulness for the combined Rule of 5/BDDCS system.

Local artist and photographer Jane Kramer spent weeks exploring Michigan’s nature preserves and botanical gardens---including Matthaei---taking pictures of the shadows cast by native plant species. The shadow images were then transferred to handmade paper created from invasive plant species. For Kramer the shadows speak to the fragility of threatened plants and their struggle to survive in a changing environment that includes invasive species. The coupling of shadow and paper underscores the complex relationship between invasive and endangered plant species. Free admission. Open Wednesdays until 8 pm.

Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays UID:30043-3321470@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Photography Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170629T121706 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160917T110000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Michigan Volleyball vs. Eastern Michigan DESCRIPTION:Michigan Volleyball vs. Eastern Michigan UID:32598-4594623@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/32598 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Volleyball LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160706T154352 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160917T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160917T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mira Henry: The View Inside DESCRIPTION:Before joining the faculty of the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles\, Mira Henry spent several years as a project architect\, immersed in the everyday\, banal details of how buildings get built: construction drawings\, material specs\, and building codes. She became an expert in seeing the world the way an architect sees it. But as a progressive architectural thinker\, Henry’s inspiration has been to deconstruct that vision\, to “unsee” the very forms and representations that constitute an architect’s basic language.\n\nThrough speculative experiments and conceptual drawings Henry discovers in static architectural details an unsettling range of figurative expression\, including\, for example\, the way the profiles of roof eaves resemble human heads. Wallpaper\, with its ability to mask\, transform\, or animate a space\, is also a prominent element in her work. Her projects explore how these features animate our subjective experience—what she calls our “shifting fantasies”—of architectural space.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Nesta Spink\, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979\, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. This selection of their gifts\, exhibited together for the first time\, provides insight into the minds of two connoisseurs with tastes that range far beyond their areas of specialization\; highlights include exquisite Whistler prints that are rarely on display and a rich representation of South Asian folk art. The Connoisseurs’ Legacy also honors the Spinks’ long relationship with the museum\, their roles as teachers of future scholars and curators\, and their commitment to public education.

We’ll dissect a cow’s eye to take a closer look at the organ that helps us see the world. How is it similar to and different from our eyes\, and those of other animals? How did eyes evolve? Learn the parts of the eye and how they work together to clarify our sight. While exploring the lens\, we’ll also talk about why some of us need glasses and how we can keep our eyes and our vision healthy. Join us for this interactive and fascinating demonstration!\n\nHands-on demonstrations are 20-30 minute free interactive programs on the 2nd floor of the Museum. They include both brief presentations highlighting University research and engaging hands-on activities\, and are suitable for adults and children ages 5 and up.

We realize\, however\, that in a college with thousands of courses offered each term\, there is no way we can offer an Honors component for every course that Honors students are interested in taking. Attend ONE conversion workshop (or make an advising appointment) for details and access to the conversion paperwork required. (This is necessary\, even if you have completed Honors course conversions in the past).
