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:30043-3321471@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:20160918T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160918T170000 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.

Beginning their career by playing for tips at a local farmer’s market in the Pacific Northwest\, now the sisters regularly perform more than 120 shows a year nationally and internationally. Their special brand of Celtic-inspired original music pays respect to the older traditions of folk and classical music\, while reintroducing them to a modern audience through beautiful new arrangements. Although much of the sisters’ inspiration comes with a distinct Celtic flair\, hints of their western American heritage can be heard in what Irish Central calls “an earthiness that gives the songs a lively\, approachable\, down-home sound.” In addition to their musical endeavors\, Greta\, Willow\, and Solana are highly trained in competitive Irish dance\, bringing the exciting rhythms of Ireland to their live shows through dance\, music\, song\, and storytelling.

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.

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.

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:30043-3321472@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:20160907T125305 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160919T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160919T150000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Monday Art DESCRIPTION:You decide what to create in this informal\, year-round class.

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.

Halal Metropolis: New Strategies for Urban Renewal in Detroit DESCRIPTION:Urban spaces are sites of contest between strangers\, especially those who encounter each other across lines of difference defined by religious identity and migration. In Detroit today\, the fastest growing populations of immigrants are Muslim (African\, Arab\, Eastern European\, and South Asian). They are filling in and reshaping the city itself\, most notably in neighborhoods adjoining Dearborn\, Hamtramck\, and Highland Park\, where ethnic and halal marketplaces are springing up around mosques\, revitalizing local housing markets\, and transforming the educational landscape. Similar developments are visible in the outer suburbs as well\, where newer migrants from Yemen\, Syria\, and Iraq encounter older Arab and Muslim migrations. These encounters can be portrayed as a source of social creativity and political dynamism\, or alternatively as generators of new ethnoracial\, class\, and religious tensions. This talk will mine my ongoing research for insights about how local Muslim and other understandings of space intersect and transform one another. \n \nSally Howell is director of the Center for Arab American Studies and associate professor of history at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. Her recent books include Arab Detroit 9/11: Life in the Terror Decade (2011\, Wayne State University Press)\, and Old Islam in Detroit: Rediscovering the Muslim American Past (2014\, Oxford University Press). Howell is also active in public cultural work that explores the intersection of Arab and Muslim diasporas in Detroit via documentary video\, cultural and historical exhibitions\, art installations\, and community-based research. She is curator of the Building Islam in Detroit website.\n\n** For CMENAS students only **\n1:30-2 pm — CMENAS students workshop/discussion with the lecturer/professor.

How will gender relations and family behavior be affected by the expected increase in female labor force participation? How can policies effectively support these changes and help structuring Japan’s new social model? Dr. Fukuda will address the issue of gender gaps in economic opportunities and the latest policy initiatives on gender and family formation in Japan. He will also discuss how gender equity can be achieved in Japan’s gender revolution. \n \nSetsuya FUKUDA is a social demographer and full-time researcher at the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research where he conducts demographic research on the inter-relationships between gender\, family formation and family policy. He received his B.A.\, M.A. and Ph.D. in economics from Meiji University. After graduate study\, he worked as a researcher at Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock\, Germany (2008-2011). From 2011-13\, he worked in the government as an expert in the Ministry of Health\, Labor\, and Welfare\, analyzing governmental statistics. In 2014-15\, he received an Abe fellowship\, and conducted a US-Japan comparative study on educational differentials in marriage at the Center for Demography and Ecology\, University of Wisconsin-Madison. His current research focuses on gender role division\, couples’ well-being and fertility in international comparative settings\, looking\, in particular\, at how Japan’s gender structure is going to change in relation to population decline and new family policies developed in “Abenomics”. \n \nDr. Fukuda is travelling the US as a member of the New Voices from Japan (NVJ) program\, which is administered by the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) with funding from the Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF).

Using detailed network data and exogenous variation in the exposure to the intervention\, I causally estimate spillover effects on academic outcomes that are transmitted through study partners. I find positive spillover effects on untreated students' usage of an online learning applet. The average spillover effect on untreated is about 30% of the direct treatment effect. I use tie strength and network position to argue that a contagious use of the applet is a more plausible mechanism than information sharing. However\, I find negative spillover effects on treated students' applet usage. Possible explanations can be preferences for information scarcity and coordination costs between treated students as they have already created plans. Despite finding spillover effects on study behaviors\, I do not find spillover effects on performance outcomes measured by exam scores and course grades. This evidence highlights that spillover effects in naturally formed peer groups can interact with the intervention. Policy makers need to carefully engineer intervention targeting.

Screenwriter Ulrich Peltzer will be joined for the discussion by Bastian Obermayer\, Knight-Wallace Fellow from the Süddeutsche Zeitung who helped break the Panama Papers. Johannes von Moltke\, Chair of German and SAC\, will moderate.\n\nThe Lies of Victors is a tight-knit thriller that takes place at the intersection of politics\, finance capital and the world of journalism. Told in stunning images captured by Reinhold Vorschneider’s roaming camera\, the film follows the exploits of investigative journalist Fabian Groys as he becomes sucked into a story of corruption and manipulation that threatens to devour him and his career. \nChristoph Hochhäusler\, whose previous films include Milchwald (This Very Moment\, 2003)\, Falscher Bekenner (Low Profile\, 2005) and Unter Dir die Stadt (The City Below\, 2010)\, has been at the forefront of contemporary German cinema as member of the “Berlin School” and co-editor of the influential journal Revolver. With Lies of Victors\, Hochhäusler joins a trend of many fellow Berlin-School-Filmmakers who have begun to explore the and revise the conventions of Hollywood and genre filmmaking – which receive a cinephile nod in Lies when we see Bogart making a phone call in the Hollywood reporter film Deadline USA (1952) declaring “That’s the Press\, Baby!”\n\nSponsored by the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures\, the Department of Screen Arts and Cultures\, and the Screenwriting Program.

We hope someone else fixes it. Or\, we give the offending team member the “stink-eye.” Or\, we just complain to our colleagues about the work habits of our team members. While any of these might make us feel better in the moment\, none of them are actually effective in addressing a team member’s problem behavior. Wouldn’t it be great if you knew exactly how to have that conversation?\n\nYou will learn to:\n\nDiscuss the behavioral differences between job performance and work habits\nDevelop an appreciation as to why dealing with unsatisfactory work habits early\, before they require disciplinary action is the better choice\nExplain clearly and specifically to a team member the nature of his/her unsatisfactory work habits in a way that focuses on behavior rather than personality or attitude\nIdentify ways to involve the team member in the problem-solving process to maintain their self-esteem\nFind ways to gain team member commitment toward a clear plan of action and review progress fairly to increase their accountability\n\nYou will benefit by:\n\nExperiencing a reduction in the stress that often precedes these feedback conversations\nFeeling more comfortable and confident in these interactions\nDeveloping a style and reputation for being a manager who doesn’t look the other way\nIncreasing the productivity and engagement in your work area—yours and your team members’\n\nAudience:\n\nAny manager or supervisor that would like to improve their feedback process for problem behaviors UID:31707-4392943@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31707 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Career,Leadership,Networking,Professional Development,Workshop LOCATION:Administrative Services Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160824T154349 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160920T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160920T123000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Determining Sufficient Sample Size DESCRIPTION:This workshop outlines how to calculate an appropriate sample size (n) to address the objectives of a research project.

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.

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:30043-3321473@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:20160920T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160920T170000 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 this study\, I firstly use regression discontinuity methods to show that a large fraction of urban male heads of households in Brazil (roughly 45%) react contemporaneously to pension eligibility by retiring. Because retirement is not required to receive the pension and because the return to working does not change discontinuously at the eligibility cutoff\, workers should not react contemporaneously unless optimization frictions\, such as credit constraints\, are at work. Secondly\, I show that those in demographic groups more likely to be credit constrained are more reactive to pension eligibility. Thirdly\, I develop a model of retirement decisions that explores how pensions in the face of credit constraints can influence such decisions\, and I use this model to estimate bounds for the welfare costs these credit constraints may be imposing through the disutility of workers supplying excess labor.

Whenever agents can adapt their behavior to achieve competitive advantage\, especially by subverting the operating rules of the system itself\, cheating and other destructive behaviors often emerge. For example\, viruses and cancer exploit the reproductive mechanisms of host cells to replicate and spread\; bullies use intimidation to exert power\, violating social norms\; investors are duped by numerous schemes to manipulate financial markets\; and cybercriminals exploit software vulnerabilities\, eroding trust in networked systems. Studying the general principles that complex systems use to manage such threats can suggest techniques for tackling the problem of cyber security. The talk will highlight research that studies how ideas from biological defense systems have been applied to solve cybersecurity problems. It will also discuss how using the tools of complexity science to understand today's technological networks and their linkages to human behavior\, social norms\, and economic incentives can help us address the global scale of today's many cybersecurity problems.

DESCRIPTION:Ever since the onset of the global financial crisis in 2008\, China's continuous rapid growth has led many to see the Chinese model as a viable alternative to neoliberal development. But in fact\, rather than constituting a progressive alternative to neoliberalism\, China's stellar economic growth was a core part of the global neoliberal order and part of the global imbalance leading to the crisis. China's apparent success in weathering the global financial crisis was grounded on an investment spree which is unsustainable and has started to create an economic crisis in China.

These experiments claimed 12-15% rain enhancement in the catchment area of the Sea of Galilee\, around 20-25 km downwind of the seeding line. However\, the seeding efficiency has been debated\, and several studies have challenged this claim [Gagin\, 1975\; Gagin and Neumann\, 1981\; Rangno and Hobbs\, 1995\; Levi and Rosenfeld\, 1996\; Levin et al.\, 2010]. This prompted the fourth seeding experiment (\"Israel-4\")\, which is still ongoing. As part of Israel-4 experiment\, we sampled precipitation in northern Israel for chemical analysis in order to obtain information on the aerosols' load in air masses. This data was combined with information on cloud properties retrieved from the METEOSAT geostationary satellite. Seeding effect was examined by comparing cloud properties (cloud top phase (CTP) and cloud top temperature (CTT) and by comparing Ag concentrations and enrichments between seeded and unseeded clouds. This comparison was done for different air masses detected by the method detailed in Zipori et al [2015]. Our results show that AgI reached the target area\, as Ag/Al and Ag/Na values were higher in seeded rain samples\, especially in samples collected during marine air masses relative to unseeded rain. In addition\, our results show that AgI has the strongest impact on marine clouds probably because these clouds have low ice nuclei concentrations. This work provides a physical evidence for the seeding impact\, and should help sorting out the ongoing debate on this subject.

Hebrew culture developed multiple texts and practices that underscored the national significance of the Bible as one of its foundations. Although scholars marked its decline within secular Israeli culture since the 1970s\, the lecture explores the production of artistic works and popular forms in recent decades. It suggests that in spite of significant changes\, secular Israelis continue to be engaged with the Hebrew Bible\, though their interest may take different\, and at times contested\, directions.\n\nYael Zerubavel is the Director of the Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life and Professor of Jewish Studies and History at Rutgers\, the State University of New Jersey.

Two accelerating beam trajectories were generated within the glass and imaged onto a CCD\; close agreement is shown with theory. The simplicity and compactness of the proposed planar-optics approach to generating accelerating beams opens new opportunities in the realization of accelerating beams and related devices for advanced manipulation of light.\n2) Coherent control of quantum dots has been intensively investigated for fundamental interest in physics as well as potential applications. While there are a lot of advantages for using an ensemble of quantum dots\, most of studies have been conducted by using single quantum dots due to the technical difficulties. In this talk\, I will discuss the experimental demonstration which clearly reveals coherent evolution in the exciton/biexciton system in an InAs self-assmebled quatum dot ensemble [1]. I will first talk about the experimental technique\, the pre-pulse two-dimensional spectroscopy\, used to observe the coherent evolution in the ensemble system. I will then talk about the experimental results revealing coherent manipulation of exciton and biexciton population by the pre-pulse. Lastly\, I will discuss the detuning and trions’ effects\, which two dimensional coherent spectroscopy can successfully elucidate. \n\n[1] Takeshi Suzuki\, Rohan Singh\, Manfred Beyer\, Arne Ludwig\, Andreas D.

Techniques to improve the substrate scope and alter the selectivity of natural enzymes are now well established\, and examples in which enzymes are used to catalyze synthetically useful\, non-native reactions are appearing with increasing frequency. This trend of using proteins to control chemical reactivity has been further extended through the development of artificial metalloenzymes\, hybrid catalysts comprised of synthetic cofactors linked to protein scaffolds. I will discuss efforts by my group aimed at engineering natural enzymes and artificial metalloenzymes for selective C-H bond functionalization and other challenging transformations.

How do literature and politics intersect? What role do both transnationalism and nation play in the self-understanding of authors\, in the ways that literature circulates? How does contemporary German literature cross boundaries of genre - between prose and poetry\, narrative and performance\, fiction and documentation\, literary text and film script? And how do these authors approach their own work: how\, in other words\, do they write? \n\nProfessors Kristin Dickinson (German) and Johannes von Moltke (German/SAC) will moderate. Readings will be in German\, with text available in English translation. The discussion will be in English.\n\nSelim Özdogan is the 2016 Max Kade Visiting Author at the University of Michigan. He is a bilingual author of Turkish heritage. His first novel was published in 1995\, and he has since then published 10 novels and 4 short story collections. His most recent book Wieso Heimat\, ich wohne zur Miete (Who Said Home\, I’m Only Renting) follows its protagonist Krishna Mustafa from Freiburg\, Germany to Istanbul\, where he hopes to discover his roots but ends up amid the protests against Erdogan at Gezi Park. Özdogan has received numerous awards and fellowships\, including the Adelbert von Chamisso Prize (1999). He also works as a columnist for the newspaper Zeit Online.\n\nKerstin Hensel is a renowned German author who works across a vast array of genres. Though she returns most often to lyric poetry\, she has penned radio features and operas\, screenplays\, short stories\, novels\, plays and children’s stories. Hensel grew up and studied in the former GDR\, and has held teaching appointments at the film academy in Potsdam\, the German Institute for Literature in Leipzig\, and currently at the Hochschule für Schauspielkunst (Acting Academy) “Ernst Busch” in Berlin\, where she teaches poetry. Hensel is the recipient of the Anna-Seghers prize\, the Lessing Prize\, and the Walter-Bauer prize in literature\, and of a fellowship at the Villa Massimo in Rome. She is a member of the Akademie der Künste (Academy of Arts)\, whose Literature Section she co-directs with Ulrich Peltzer. \n\nUlrich Peltzer is the author of numerous books and two screenplays. His novel Bryant Park creates a vivid montage of New York City in the tradition of Dos Passos but under the impression of 9/11. His most recent novel\, Das bessere Leben (The Better Life) continues to elaborate Peltzer’s vivid\, hard-driving style as it explores the world of finance capital against the backdrop of terror and utopia. Winner of the Heinrich-Böll\, Marieluise-Fleißer\, and Peter-Weiss prizes\, among many others\, Peltzer is a member of the Akademie der Künste (Academy of Arts)\, whose Literature Section he co-directs with Kerstin Hensel. He is a member of PEN Germany and was elected to the German Academy for Language and Literature (Deutsche Akademie für Sprache und Dichtung) in 2015.

I will discuss some new work in this area\, namely Lie algebras and algebraic groups over S\, their representations\, and some aspects of Harish-Chandra theory. The specific concepts treated are guided by constructing a knot invariant called sl_k Khovanov homotopy type at a prime large relative to k. I will discuss the history of what led to this problem\, and the current version of its solution.

Hunter\, Henry A. Gleason Collegiate Professor of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:Biologists have become increasingly interested in understanding the links between population processes and ecosystem processes. Ecological interactions\, and the evolutionary changes that they mediate\, have important effects on the transfer of energy and the cycling of matter at ecosystem scales. Simultaneously\, ecosystem processes provide the energy and materials by which ecological and evolutionary change takes place. Elucidating the mechanisms by which population and ecosystem processes are linked is fundamental to our ability to understand and manage judiciously Earth’s ecosystems. In this talk\, I introduce the concept of the “phytochemical landscape\,” and suggest that it provides the nexus through which population process and ecosystem processes are linked. The phytochemical landscape is based on the dazzling array of primary and secondary metabolites synthesized by the primary producers (e.g. land plants\, algae\, bacteria) of our aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Because the phytochemical landscape is both a cause and a consequence of variation in trophic interactions and nutrient dynamics\, it serves as the nexus through which powerful feedback loops link population and ecosystem processes.

Bill's songs have turned into folk standards\, running through the repertoires of several generations of performers including Jerry Jeff Walker\, Grandpa Jones\, Fairport Convention\, Priscilla Herdman\, Gordon Bok\, Aiofe Clancy\, and Peter\, Paul and Mary. He's a champion yodeler\, a wit to match the standup world's best\, a guitarist with a unique style (a southpaw\, he plays a right-handed guitar upside down)\, and a musician with a gift for instantly memorable tunes that are liable to turn into singalongs at any time. Says Nanci Griffith (for whom Staines's \"Roseville Fair\" has been a longtime staple): \"Bill Staines has been my hero since 1977. He carries on where Woody left off—carrying on the tradition of stories and characters you wish you knew.\" UID:29771-3203002@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29771 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Music,The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

When she carefully reassembles and sews together the squares\, parts of the image seem to move across and down the surface of the quilt. Ault exhibits nationally at fiber and quilt shows\, such as Quilt National in Athens\, Ohio and Fiberart International in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania.

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.

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:30043-3321474@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:20160921T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160921T170000 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.

Ramanujan sums satisfy \"orthogonality relations\,\" which raises the possibility of writing a general arithmetic function as an infinite sum of Ramanujan sums with complex coefficients similar to a Fourier series. In this talk\, I will prove some basic properties of Ramanujan sums\, including the orthogonality relations. We'll look at some examples of Ramanujan expansions of arithmetic functions found by Ramanujan and Hardy. Finally\, I'll show how one of Hardy's examples\, combined with a formula analogous to the Wiener-Khinchin Theorem in Fourier analysis\, \"almost\" proves the twin prime conjecture.

To do so would require a global decolonization movement that reshapes existing modes of thought\, regrounds intellectual practices in “world views” already existing in popular life-worlds\, and reopens regional and inter-regional network channels disabled by imperialization. This insight has been at the heart of Kuan-Hsing Chen’s practice as a scholar\, public intellectual\, and an activist since the 1990s. In this talk\, Prof. Chen will share lessons in decolonization he has learned over the last three decades at the forefront of an inter-Asia cultural studies movement\, and tease out from these lessons proposals relevant for the future of Asian Studies. The proposals issue\, in turn\, a broader call to revive the spirit of Bandung in building grounded intellectual movements that connect across Africa\, Asia\, Caribbean and Latin America.

Thinking of energy as an extra \"coordinate\"\, one can motivate a geometric description of such flows. This has a precise realization in the context of gauge-gravity duality. I will provide a pedagogical introduction to these ideas and demonstrate them in a particular example that offers an explicit precision-test of the geometric approach.

I will then focus on three related topics in this area: 1) the discovery of individual nanobubbles in single-particle collision\, 2) the use of fast-scan cyclic voltammetry to obtain chemical resolution and study electron-transfer kinetics\, and 3) the observation of current oscillations in the oxidation of single silver nanoparticles. \nBo Zhang\, University of Washington\n Electrochemistry of Single Nanoparticle Collision UID:31647-4377381@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31647 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160921T181711 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160921T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160921T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics DESCRIPTION:(joint work in progress with Masaaki Fukasawa and Martin Herdegen) Speaker(s): Johannes Muhle-Karbe (UM) UID:33097-4686389@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33097 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1360 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160920T082642 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160921T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160921T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:II Career Event: Webinar for Avascent Consulting DESCRIPTION:Eoin Power earned his MA in REES with the International Institute.

With singular insight and narrative grace\, Pollack explores the moral complexities of scientific discovery through the story of a brilliant research biologist facing heartrending decisions about her personal life and the fate that genetics may have preordained for her. \n\nJane Weiss is a young post doc at MIT who is obsessed with finding the genetic marker for Valentine’s disease\, a neurodegenerative disorder that killed her mother. With the clear vision of a scientist\, she knows that she and her sister each stand a fifty percent chance of inheriting the disease\, and her research is fueled by a need to discover if they are genetic carriers. Having witnessed the devastating effect that Valentine’s had on her parents’ marriage\, Jane has vowed to steer clear of love unless she is sure she is free of the disease\, refusing to become a burden on anyone else. But that determination is upended when she meets and falls in love with Willie\, whose own father died of Valentine’s. Suddenly\, with the very real possibility of their relationship ending in tragedy\, her research takes on a new ferocity.\n\n“A Perfect Life probes how we live in the face of uncertainty and the ways risk can both disable and empower us. Eileen Pollack has crafted a tender exploration of family love that is as smart and thought-provoking as it is moving.”--Celeste Ng\, author of Everything I Never Told You UID:32037-4490291@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/32037 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Books,Culture,Literature,Storytelling,Writing LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160921T180136 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160921T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160921T200000 SUMMARY:Other:First Mass Meeting!!!

This Nederland\, Colorado\, quintet falls into the pocket of a groove containing elements of gypsy\, rock\, Celtic\, alt-country and folk. The Indie Acoustic Music Project simply labeled their sound \"progressive edge.\" It’s as good a label as any to convey what Dango Rose has described as their mission: \"to close the gap of separation between us through the eternal revelry of song and dance.\" Elephant Revival also shares a commitment to responsible stewardship of the planet and its inhabitants\, working with organizations such as the Conscious Alliance\, Calling All Crows\, Trees Water & People\, and other nonprofits supporting humanitarian causes. Their very name was chosen out of empathy for a pair of zoo pachyderms who\, upon being separated after 16 years\, died on the same day. In the words of the rather unsmiling New York Times: \"If this doesn't make you smile\, something is wrong with you.\" The fast-rising acoustic Oshkosh trio Dead Horses arrive with new music as special guests.

She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

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.

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:30043-3321475@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:20160922T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160922T170000 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 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)\, 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 earlier shown this only up to degree 4. One can also bound all numerical data about the primary decomposition of I independent of N. The authors have also obtained these results for d = 2 and d = 3 with no restriction on the characteristic\, and in degree 4 except in characteristic 2. Many open questions remain.

To justify our measure\, we first show the costs for a research community when every study relies on its own specification of what constitutes successful integration. We then adumbrate the criteria for a successful measure. Once set\, we outline six dimensions of integration—psychological\, economic\, political\, social\, linguistic and navigational – each with a set of survey questions. With these questions\, we run pretests to determine the degree to which our questions meet our criteria for a good measure\, and to reduce our tool to six key questions that could be incorporated in all studies of integration at low cost. We report on the data we have so far collected and the issues they raise. However imperfect\, we foresee substantial payoffs for scientific progress of community “buy in” for our measure.\n \nBio:\nDavid D. Laitin is the James T. Watkins IV and Elise V.

I study how jobs in the formal sector\, in manufacturing\, and at export-assembly plants (maquiladoras) in Mexico shape childbirth\, selection into fertility\, and the timing of births. I adopt two complementary identification strategies. The first strategy exploits exogenous shocks to local demand for male versus female labor using a shift-share index\, and the second uses establishment-level data from the universe of maquiladoras to construct an instrumental variable based on large expansions and contractions in plant employment. Results show that positive shocks in the short run to men's employment have large\, positive effects on fertility\, whereas positive shocks to women's employment have negligible impacts in the short run.

These factors are inter-related\, and understanding their roles in shaping overarching\, integrative ecosystem functions such as carbon storage and biogeochemical cycling are crucial to appreciating the functioning of ecosystems at larger scales (e.g.\, watersheds to landscapes). At UMBS\, a rich ecosystem classification framework makes it possible to place studies of carbon cycling and biogeochemistry in a larger spatial and conceptual realm. I will offer results and synthesis from several UMBS-based projects aimed at understanding C cycling and biogeochemical processes in soils and vegetation\, focusing on three key findings: 1) Physiographic factors explain the spatial distribution of carbon stocks across the landscape\; 2) Pedogenic pathways control the fate of the largest carbon stocks on the landscape\; 3) Groundwater is the most important physical force shaping soil development\, carbon distribution and biogeochemical cycling on the landscape.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m. UID:31821-4428286@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31821 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Environment,Research LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160830T130444 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160922T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160922T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: “The Spirit of Speculation: John Law and Economic Theology in the Age of Lights” DESCRIPTION:Professor Coleman's lecture traces the surprising influence of sacramental theology on the reception of John Law’s efforts to reform public finances and colonial trade in France. Allusions to the mysteries of transubstantiation and transmutation abounded in cultural productions of the period\, which depict Law’s new banknotes and company shares as giving rise to unimaginable riches seemingly overnight. Professor Coleman will argue that a Eucharistic-alchemical complex lent itself not only to describing the function of these instruments\, but also to rendering intelligible their myriad effects on private and public affairs. The spiritual desideratum of inexhaustibility underwrote popular participation in Law’s system\, which demanded that French subjects invest themselves with abandon in the dream of limitless accumulation.\n\nCharly Coleman is an assistant professor of history at Columbia University\, where he teaches courses on early modern and modern Europe\, as well as in the Core Curriculum. He received his PhD in history at Stanford University. Before coming to Columbia\, he taught at the University of Chicago and Washington University in St. Louis. Coleman specializes in the history of 18th-century France\, with a particular emphasis on the intersections between religion and Enlightenment thought. His first book\, The Virtues of Abandon (Stanford University Press\, 2014\; awarded the 2016 Laurence Wylie Prize in French Cultural Studies)\, fundamentally recasts the French Enlightenment as a protracted struggle to fix the self’s relationship to property in its myriad forms. In so doing\, it uncovers a wide-ranging\, coherent\, and influential culture of dispossession\, the partisans of which fought to strip the self of its property\, its personality\, and even its very existence as an individual. Coleman has further elaborated the stakes of this anti-individualist history of the period in a series of articles and book chapters\, including pieces for The Journal of Modern History and The Cambridge Companion to the French Enlightenment. His most recent research has turned to the crucial role played by economic theology during the long 18th century in France\, with an eye to revealing a distinctly Catholic ethic that animated the spirit of capitalism at its inception.\n \nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

Given the complexity of detectors and scale of data\, the international collaborations of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN demanded it. By removing barriers to resource sharing\, the resulting data and computation platform democratized the physics process across collaborations. Accelerated modes of scientific discovery by thousands of physicists were forged using hundreds of data centers linked by very high bandwidth networks. Meanwhile the explosion of commercial\, social and enterprise data has driven innovation in resource abstraction and the creation of new service platforms\, offering fresh opportunities to accelerate science and intellectual inquiry at all scales and across all domains. In this talk I’ll discuss the strategic significance that cyberinfrastructure technology plays in this regard and describe models for creating ubiquitous “substrates” that remove obstacles to connecting campuses\, facilities\, instruments and researchers. \n\nBio: Robert Gardner is a Senior Scientist at the Computation Institute from the University of Chicago\, and a Senior Scientist in the Enrico Fermi Institute. He spent his early academic career doing experimental high-energy physics research at different universities in the Midwest. He has been a member of the ATLAS experiment using the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN Laboratory\, Geneva\, Switzerland since 1998. His experimental work led him to specialize in developing and improving distributed computing technologies necessary for discoveries at the frontier of particle physics. He was instrumental in developing early research computing grids in the U.S.: the International Virtual Data Grid Laboratory (iVDGL)\, and the first deployment of the Open Science Grid (OSG) (NSF\, Department of Energy). He have also generated systems for metrics collection for distributed systems (Grid Telemetry\, PI\, NSF-ITR). Currently\, he directs the ATLAS Midwest Tier2 Center\, which is comprised of integrated computing facilities from the University of Chicago\, Indiana University\, and the University of Illinois.

In the mid 80s\, Weiss proved that the equivalence relation generated by a finite family of commuting Borel automorphisms is hyperfinite\, and in the mid 90s\, Dougherty\, Jackson\, and Kechris proved that the equivalence relation generated by a single Borel endomorphism is hypersmooth. We will generalize both results to show that the equivalence relation generated by a finite family of commuting Borel endomorphisms is hypersmooth. As is typical in this area\, the proof will involve the construction of a suitable family of Borel marker sets. This talk will be part 1 of 2.

Stanton Collegiate Professor of French\, Women's Studies\, and Comparative Literature Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:There are many stories about wildmen in medieval Europe\, and in this lecture I focus on one particularly strange example from fourteenth-century France. Tristan de Nanteuil recounts the story of a foundling raised by animals in the forest\, but describes the forest as a place of organized social relations among the animals and the child\, and even imagines that they share a symbolic kinship. The wild boy discovers his human identity in a series of encounters with gendered bodies\, and ultimately leaves animal society to take his place in a noble human lineage. In its representations of animality and gendered embodiment\, this fictional text offers a perspective on what it means to be human\, even as it questions the categories through which human distinction is commonly defined.

There are other songwriters who populate their creations with small-time crooks\, small-town loners\, and working-class heroes. But Fred Eaglesmith's songs stand out for their edge of desperation and their raucous yet bemused humor—and for the incredible energy and on-the-edge quality of his live shows. Circulating on tour from his Ontario farm\, Fred harks back to an earlier era of roots music with his raw\, driving country soul. Best of all\, Fred's 20th album\, \"Tambourine\,\" draws on the spirit of pure 1960s rock and roll. He comes to town with his band The Traveling Steam Show\, which has lately jelled as a unit to a degree reminiscent of his legendary band of yore\, The Flying Squirrels.

She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

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.

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:30043-3321476@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:20160923T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160923T170000 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.

Such an examination exists at the confluence of a number of disciplines. First\, the focus on a single year draws on methodologies from book history\, notably Sydney Shep’s model of model of production\, distribution and consumption that focuses on “the complex dynamic intercrossings between people (prosopography)\, places (placeography) and objects (bibliography).” The rhetorical nature of Shep’s ideas\, combined with the necessity of situating comic book publishers as sponsors of multimodal literacy within such a model\, means that this project draws on methodologies and ways of thinking from a variety of fields\, including Comics Studies\, Rhetoric and Composition\, Literacy Studies\, and Book History.\n\nBy focusing on a single year\, I endeavor to show how and why it is important to examine the history of comics and the literacies surrounding that history in ways that go beyond the creation of a canon of great works in comics\, and why using a diverse set of methodologies is crucial in such an examination. This presentation will give a glimpse into some of the research and thinking I have done to this point\, both in terms of specifics from 1976 and the larger methodological and interdisciplinary implications outlined above.\" UID:32245-4518221@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/32245 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Comics,German LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - 3308 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160923T181716 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160923T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160923T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Interdisciplinary Mathematics DESCRIPTION:Public goods games involve the competitive interaction between players or organisms who produce a commonly available good (cooperators) and those who consume without producing (cheaters\, defectors\, freeloaders)\; several instances are known to occur in nature and economics.

Using that algorithm we construct algorithms for computing the weak width\, the width and the height of a quasiconvex subgroup of a negatively curved group.

In excess of five million gallons of water can be used to frack a single horizontal well with significant water returning to the surface as flowback and produced water. This returned water has poor quality. While recycling and reuse of waste water are actively pursued as preferred alternatives\, deep-well injection remains the most common means to dispose of flowback and produced water. Unsurprisingly\, disposal of waste fluids poses the greatest threat to groundwater when fracking a well. The technology used to dispose fluid by deep-well injection has remained the same for decades and has not been updated to reflect either the significant increase in the volume of liquid waste or from improved understanding of its impact on the environment. This presentation examines how environmental threats from deep-well injection can be mitigated by improved conceptualization of both deep-well injection and the real-world response of the physical system to high-volume\, long-term injection.

As the newly appointed interim director of CWPS\, I explore in this talk a number of potential themes that might be pursued in the coming year as galvanizing agents for this partnership. Improvisation is a primary consideration\, with recent years seeing increased attention in the ability to spontaneously create\, interact\, and adapt to unexpected developments as important not only across the arts but in the sciences and humanities as well. With improvisation playing a prominent role in jazz and much African American music\, direct connections open up to a second area—diversity—at a moment when conversation and action on this topic carry particular urgency on our campus\, and education and the world at large. I will share reflections from a chapter called “Black Music Matters” in a forthcoming book that juxtaposes the powerful tools African American music offers musicians for global navigation with the continued marginalization of black music in music studies. Linkages are also explored with the burgeoning academic areas of contemplative and consciousness studies\, in which education moves from conventional emphasis on exterior learning modalities to engagement with practices that probe the interior dimensions of the learner. Whereas improvisation embodies outer performance\, meditation and other contemplative methodologies can be viewed as kinds of inner performance.\nI close with a look at cutting-edge consciousness research that stretches the boundaries of how the educational world typically views the human being and human potential\; the point is not to critique these findings but rather to illustrate further ways an expanded view of performance can inform how we approach radical ideas that challenge existing assumptions. The ability to step outside our comfort zones and entertain new worldviews is perhaps the most important form of performance to be cultivated.\n \nThe talk will begin with a brief performance with RC faculty members.\n\nSponsored by RC Faculty Talks Series UID:33176-4700626@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33176 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Culture,Diversity,Free,Inclusion,Lecture,Music,Scholarship LOCATION:East Quadrangle - 1405 EQ CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160923T181718 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160923T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160923T175000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Preprint Algebraic Geometry Seminar DESCRIPTION:TBA UID:33876-4816213@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33876 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1866 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161008T123025 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160923T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160923T173000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Handshake Clinic: How to Connect to Employers\, Jobs\, and Campus Events DESCRIPTION:This event is catered towards doctoral students in the U of M physics department.

She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

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:30043-3321477@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:20160826T123955 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160924T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160924T140000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:MGC BBQ DESCRIPTION:Join the Multicultural Greek Council Executive board and chapters for an afternoon BBQ to learn more about getting involved with multicultural Greek Life.

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.

Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.
