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.

Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph\, a graphic design or a painting. She digitally prints variations of the image on fabric and divides the copies into many small squares (no two alike). 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.

Among the collections severely impacted by the muddy waters were those in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze. Book conservators from the United States and Western Europe were called in to help with the recovery efforts. The exhibit features a British team\, headed by Peter Waters\, which created a washing-drying-mending-rebinding system to deal with tens of thousands of books damaged by the disaster.\n\nThe two most important outcomes of the tragedy are the professional training of library conservators and the establishment of disaster preparedness and response programs.\n\nLearn more and register for the symposium\, The Flood in Florence\, 1966: A Fifty-Year Retrospective\, happening November 3-4\, 2016. https://www.lib.umich.edu/flood-florence-1966-fifty-year-retrospective UID:33962-4826133@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33962 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, 2nd Floor Hatcher CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160816T170457 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160925T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160925T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:It's Still Terrific!

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:30043-3321478@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:20160925T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160925T170000 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.

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.

Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays.

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.

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.

In order to understand how \"undocumented\" became a powerful political term\, or why Voter ID laws spark such intense debate\, Adair's research brings together an unlikely archive of minor \"identification wars.\" Together\, these scenes help illuminate the longer history of friction between state categorization and minority self-definition.\n\nEmergent Research events (http://www.lib.umich.edu/research/events) are aimed at better understanding the various types of research undertaken across campus\, particularly as they relate to library services and support\, opportunities for collaboration\, data management and preservation\, and beyond.

This class will teach you enough physical science to understand many of the issues in the news related to energy - and to make decisions about alternatives. He uses the Kahn Academy approach\, where you learn at your own pace outside of class-reading\, watching videos\, and searching the Internet-and then share discoveries and ask questions in class. John Preston taught physics at Belleville High School and technology at EMU. This class for adults over 50 meets alternate Mondays: 9/26\, 10/10\, 10/24\, 11/7\, and 11/21. \n https://olli-umich.org/olli/index.php/member/ctlg/viewEventDetails/870 UID:31966-4454919@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31966 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Engineering,Lifelong Learning,Retirement,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160801T125909 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160926T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160926T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:What Do I Do Now?

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:30043-3321479@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:20161011T063024 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160926T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160926T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Visit The University Career Center on The Diag!

Piracy\, Slavery\, and Ransom in the Early Modern Ottoman Mediterranean DESCRIPTION:Beginning in the 1570s and continuing for over century\, the eastern half of the Mediterranean was gripped by a plague of piracy. Although the activities of North African corsairs in the western Mediterranean during this era are better known\, the Ottoman Mediterranean hosted a wide variety of foreign and homegrown Christian and Muslim maritime predators and Ottoman subjects--Muslims\, Christians\, and Jews--were their prey. This lecture explores the reasons for and consequences of the explosion of piracy in this period and tells the stories of Ottoman subjects who were despoiled and enslaved. \n \nJoshua Michael White is an assistant professor of history at the University of Virginia. He received his PhD from the University of Michigan in 2012. He studies and teaches the history of the medieval and early modern Middle East and Mediterranean\, with a particular focus on the social\, legal\, and diplomatic history of the early modern Ottoman Empire. \n\n** For CMENAS students only **\n1:30-2 pm — CMENAS students workshop/discussion with the lecturer/professor.

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.

Newspapers use key words such as extremists\, terrorists and fanatics to describe Arabs. The present day Arab stereotype parallels the image of Jews in pre-Nazi Germany\, where Jews were painted as dark\, shifty-eyed\, venal and threateningly different people. These representations of Arab and Muslim Americans have created a general mistrust and dislike among Americans. Who are Muslim and Arab-Americans? Why are they portrayed negatively? Who benefits from these phenomena? This class will help answer these and many other questions. This class for adults over 50 meets the fourth Monday through May 22\, 2017.

Students’ ability levels affect the cost of their efforts. We solve and compare the equilibria of “centralized college admissions” (CCA) where students apply to all colleges and “decentralized college admissions” (DCA) where students only apply to one college. We show that lower ability students prefer DCA whereas higher ability students prefer CCA. Many predictions of the theory are supported by a lab experiment designed to test the theory\, yet we find a number of differences that render DCA less attractive than CCA compared to the equilibrium benchmark.

The original topological Euler characteristic of the Donaldson-Thomas moduli space is modified by the Behrend function which is now called the weighted Euler characteristic. This is the same as the Donaldson-Thomas invariant defined by R. Thomas using the techniques of virtual fundamental class. In this talk I will talk about the notion of Behrend function and its relation to the recent consection localization techniques of Kiem-Li.\n\nI will also talk about the motivic version of the Behrend function in order to categorify Donaldson-Thomas invariants. The motivic version of the Joyce-Song formulas for the Behrend function identities are essential to the wall crossing of the motivic Donaldson-Thomas invariants and I will outline the proof ofsuch formulas.

It may not be obvious that non-trivial examples of such matrices even exist. However\, we will give a bijection between totally positive $n \times n$ matrices and $\mathbb{R}_{>0}^n$. On our way to describing parametrizations of such matrices\, we will prove Lindstrom's Lemma\, which is a combinatorial tool that relates planar networks to minors of a corresponding weight matrix.\n\nThis talk will be accessible to all grad students in the department.

I will then discuss a construction of certain integral forms of these categories\, which reduce well modulo primes and give insight into the asymptotic behavior of the modular representation theory of these groups. Finally\, I will discuss some ongoing progress toward generalizing these results in the setting of quantum groups and Iwahori-Hecke algebras.

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.

Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph\, a graphic design or a painting. She digitally prints variations of the image on fabric and divides the copies into many small squares (no two alike). 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:30043-3321480@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:20160927T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160927T170000 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.

Charles Darwin highlighted this dependence by inviting his reader to imagine a “tangled bank\,” chocked full of interacting plants and animals. How then does evolution proceed in such a tangled bank? In the first part of my talk I will discuss how host-parasite coevolution in populations of self-replicating computer programs shapes what is adaptive for the hosts and ultimately drives the evolution of biological complexity. I will show how we can use these evolving digital communities to study how networks of host-parasite interactions are formed in more detail than is currently possible in the lab or in nature. Finally\, I will discuss a new method of growing microbes in millions of easy-to-create droplets of media isolated by an oil phase. These emulsions allow us to test how competition for shared resources (i.e.\, intraspecific interactions) affects the evolutionary trajectory a population takes\, and how that trajectory aligns with our predictions. Together\, these projects harness technology\, including computational simulations and novel culturing methods for microbes\, to address fundamental questions about evolution in dynamic and entangled contexts.

Lee pokes and prods through Li Zhi’s sprawling corpus of writings and shows how Li slyly redefines mundane everyday words\; effectively cites (slightly mis-remembered\, or intentionally so?) ancient literary references\; subtly but powerfully redirects the reading of seemingly trivial throw-away passages in classics\, and more ––all in the service\, and effectively so\, of reclaiming or further opening up the written world in which each woman can create and live her distinctive life. Li takes seriously tradition and the power of reading and writing—rather than legal change\, activism\, or changes in social structure—to affect our hearts and minds and substantively transform our lives.\n\nPauline Lee is an Associate Professor of Chinese Religions and Cultures at Saint Louis University. She received her A.B. (English Literature\, honors in Humanities\, 1991) from Stanford University\, her M.T.S. (Comparative Religions\, 1995) from Harvard Divinity School\, and her Ph.D. (Religious Studies\, minor in Philosophy\, 2002) from Stanford University. She teaches East Asian religions and philosophy with courses in Chinese thought\, Confucianism\, Daoism\, East Asian women and feminisms\, Chinese Civilization\, and children’s studies. Previous to her current position\, she has taught at Santa Clara University and Washington University. Her first monograph\, \"Li Zhi\, Confucianism\, and the Virtue of Desire\" (State University of New York Press\, 2012)\, examines the 16th century thinker Li Zhi 李贄 and his views on the role of self-expression and desire in a good life. With Rivi Handler-Spitz and Haun Saussy she has published the first book-length English language translation of Li Zhi’s writings\,\" A Book to Burn and A Book to Hide\" (Columbia UP\, June 2016)\; and (with Handler-Spitz and Saussy) is collaborating on a volume of critical essays on this major iconoclastic thinker (\"The Objectionable Li Zhi: Fiction\, Syncretism\, and Dissent in Late Ming China\"). In the Journal of Chinese Religions\, Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy\, the Journal of Chinese Philosophy\, and edited volumes on women and Chinese thought she has published in the areas of Chinese feminisms\, space and place\, Chinese conceptions of childhood\, and comparative religions and philosophy. Professor Lee’s current major project\, provisionally entitled \"Play in China: The Trifling\, the Wicked\, and the Sacred\,\" examines changing views of play in China from ca. 200-1800 CE through a study of Chinese religious and philosophical classics\, the rich but too often neglected tradition of commentaries on these works\, as well as paintings and playthings. Her present interests include outreach to the larger community including children from K-12 on the subject of intercultural dialogue\; in collaboration she has established at Saint Louis University “The Matteo Ricci Religious Pluralism Project\,” mapping the changing religious landscape of the Greater St. Louis area\, and the “Ricci Speakers Series” on the subject of Christianity in early modern China.

In particular\, when one considers finite groups\, determining that the ring of invariants is finitely generated and finding a bound on the degree of a set of generators were problems addressed by Hilbert and Noether\, respectively. In the case of Abelian groups\, there is a conjecture for the bound that has been proven in some cases\, but still remains open in the general case. We discuss this problem and present a possible approach to it.

Although radiative heat transfer at macroscopic distances is well understood\, radiative heat transfer at the nanoscale remains largely unexplored. In this talk\, I will describe ongoing efforts in our group to experimentally elucidate nanoscale heat radiation. Specifically\, I will present our recent experimental work where we have addressed the following questions: 1) Can existing theories accurately describe radiative heat transfer in single nanometer sized gaps1? 2) What is the role of film thickness on nanoscale radiation2? and 3) Can radiative thermal conductances that are orders of magnitude larger than those between blackbodies be achieved3? In order to address these questions we have developed a variety of instrumentation including novel nanopositioning platforms and microdevices\, which will also be described. Finally\, I will briefly outline how these advances can be leveraged for future investigations of both nanoscale radiative heat transport and thermophotovoltaic energy conversion. \n\nReferences: \n\n[1] K.

Jack Jacobs argues in this talk that there was an inverse relationship\, among associates of the School\, between knowledge of Judaism and positive attitudes towards the State: the deeper their knowledge\, the stronger their critique of Israel.\n\nJack Jacobs is a professor of political science at John Jay College and the Graduate Center\, City University of New York. He is the author of On Socialists and “the Jewish Question” after Marx (1992)\, Bundist Counterculture in Interwar Poland (2009)\, and The Frankfurt School\, Jewish Lives\, and Antisemitism (2015)\, and is the editor of Jewish Politics in Eastern Europe: The Bund at 100 (2001)\, and\, most recently\, of Jews and the Political Left\, which will be published by Cambridge University Press.

Problems typically arise from their high scattering and optical densities and sometimes from the large birefringence and dichroism. In this seminar I will describe the preparation of stable water suspensions of nanocrystalline compounds and demonstrate their use in the characterization of solid-state spectroscopic properties using simple transmission procedures. As a starting point we selected well-known photophysical probes with characteristic solid state properties to illustrate the fact that nanocrystals are a state of matter in transition between supramolecular structures and bulk solids. We gathered conclusive experimental evidence that the nanocrystals used in these experiments have the same morphology as the macroscopic specimens grown from solution. Analysis of size and size distribution by polarized microscopy\, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and probe microscopy methods (AFM\, SEM) indicates that optimal samples should be of the order or 200 nm in size\, which is below the wavelength of light used in most experiments\, and a key parameter for the method to work well. Examples will be shown to illustrate the use of nanocrystals to obtain detailed mechanistic information of excited state processes and highly selective reactions in crystals\, including a novel strategy for signal amplification with a gain based on a very unusual excited state chain reaction.\nMiguel Garcia-Garibay (UCLA) UID:31411-4260671@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31411 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160927T181743 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160927T161000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160927T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Colloquium Series DESCRIPTION:\nI will outline how one starts with a symplectic manifold and defines a category enriched in local systems (up to homotopy) on this manifold. The construction relies on deformation quantization and is related to other methods of constructing a category from a symplectic manifolds\, such as the Fukaya category and the sheaf-theoretical microlocal category of Tamarkin. The talk will be accessible\, with main examples being the plane\, the cylinder\, and the two-torus.

Ten photographs will be displayed at the Institute for the Humanities and 40 at the Duderstadt Gallery.\n\nArtist's Statement: Bureaucratics is a project consisting of a book and a traveling exhibition that has so far been shown in museums and galleries in some twenty countries on five continents. The book and the exhibition contain 50 photographs and are the product of an anarchist’s heart\, a historian’s mind and an artist’s eye. Bureaucratics is a comparative photographic study of the culture\, rituals and symbols of state civil administrations and its servants in eight countries on five continents\, selected on the basis of political\, historical and cultural considerations: Bolivia\, China\, France\, India\, Liberia\, Russia\, the United States\, and Yemen. In each country\, I visited up to hundreds of offices of members of the executive in different services and at different levels. The visits were unannounced and the accompanying writer\, Will Tinnemans*\, by interviewing kept the employees from tidying up or clearing the office. That way\, the photos show what a local citizen would be confronted with when entering.\n\nThe photography has a conceptual\, typological approach reminding of August Sander’s ‘Menschen des 20 Jahrhunderts’ (‘People of the Twentieth Century’). Each subject is posed behind his or her desk. The photos all have a square format (fitting the subject)\, are shot from the same height (that of the client)\, with the desk – its front or side photographed parallel to the horizontal edges of the frame – serving as a bulwark protecting the representative of rule and regulation against the individual citizen\, the warm-blooded exception. They are full of telling details that sometimes reveal the way the state proclaims its power or the bureaucrat’s rank and function\, sometimes of a more private character and are accompanied by information such as name\, age\, function and salary. Though there is a high degree of humour and absurdity in these photos\, they also show compassion with the inhabitants of the state’s paper labyrinth. -Jan Banning UID:34117-4856574@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/34117 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160908T134725 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160927T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160927T183000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Exhibit Reception: Bureaucratics DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reception celebrating the exhibit Bureaucratics\, which displays photos from Dutch photographer Jan Banning that document offices in different bureaucracies around the world.\n\nIt's a comparative photographic study of the culture\, rituals and symbols of state civil administrations and its servants in eight countries on five continents\, selected on the basis of political\, historical and cultural considerations.

Unfortunately\, there are many basic things we don't know about its geometry and its symmetries: for example\,\n (1) Is every embedding of A^k into A^n linearizable?\n (2) What is the automorphism group of A^n?\n (3) (The Jacobian Conjecture) Is every endomorphism of A^n with invertible Jacobian an isomorphism?\nThe Abhyankar-Moh theorem provides answers to some of these and other related questions in dimension n=2. What's surprising is that even though the statement is purely algebraic\, the shortest known proof utilizes knot theory\, specifically that of torus knots. We will explain how torus knots naturally appear in algebraic geometry\, and present Rudolph's knot-theoretic proof of the Abhyankar-Moh theorem.

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.

Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph\, a graphic design or a painting. She digitally prints variations of the image on fabric and divides the copies into many small squares (no two alike). 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.

Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines.

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:30043-3321481@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:20160928T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160928T170000 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.

Polish Towns? Jewish Towns? Urban Development in Interwar Eastern Poland DESCRIPTION:With their central market squares\, churches and synagogues\, and mixed Polish-Jewish populations\, the small towns of interwar eastern Poland have come to be viewed\, somewhat simplistically\, as places of either prewar interethnic tolerance or simmering ethnic tensions on the eve of the Holocaust. The story was of course more complicated—and more interesting. This talk will explore how Polish modernizers in the borderlands framed their attempts to create explicitly “modern” urban spaces—with paved streets\, regulated borders\, and orderly town councils—through a national lens. In what ways did Poles on the supposedly more “tolerant” wing of the political spectrum seek to transform towns into anti-Jewish spaces? How did the local context intersect with broader ideas about nationalism\, civilization\, and modernity? Ultimately\, to whom did these towns belong—and who decided the answer to this question? By illuminating local stories from the archives\, this presentation invites us to explore how global ideas about civilizational hierarchies and the construction of a European-centric civilizing project were used to marginalize certain populations as “foreign” in the very places that they called home. \n \nKathryn Ciancia is assistant professor in the History Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She received her Ph.D. in history from Stanford University in 2011 and went on to work as a postdoctoral lecturer in two of Stanford’s liberal arts programs before moving to Madison in 2013. She is currently completing her first book manuscript\, Civilizers in Their Own Backyard: Interwar Poland and Its Eastern Borderlands\; an article based on part of the book\, entitled “Borderland Modernities: Poles\, Jews\, and Urban Spaces in Interwar Volhynia\,” is forthcoming in the Journal of Modern History. She is also beginning work on a second book project\, which will explore the everyday role of Polish consulates in Western Europe\, the Middle East\, and the Americas between the wars. \n \nPart of the Minorities series which will focus on the fates and challenges various minorities face\, from ethnic and racial groups to people with disabilities and members of LGBT communities. How do different political regimes come to define groups as minorities\, and how do they engage with them as a result? What can the experience of minorities in the other parts of the world teach us?

For example\, they naturally contain accidentally stable ‘baryon’ and/or ‘pion’ Dark Matter candidates. Moreover\, if the strong sector enjoys chiral and custodial symmetries\, it can offer a framework for Composite Higgs models\, where the Higgs doublet is a partially-composite light ’pion’. I will discuss how this can be made consistent with the flavor sector of the SM and comment on the main LHC phenomenology both in direct and indirect searches.

While these performances helped introduce Peking Opera abroad and earned Mei Lanfang universal praise and admiration\, they more importantly gave Peking opera an opportunity to highlight\, for international audiences\, its new cultural identity\, to present its art as a modern aesthetic system\, and to project its claim to historical authenticity. The Peking opera presented there was not a form preserved from time immemorial\, but the outcome of an intense ideological debate among the younger generation of the cultural elite within China as to the validity of traditional Chinese theater with the most radical opinion denouncing Peking opera as the dregs of traditional society\, bond up with everything dispicable of the old social order and values\, and their opponents boldly claiming the modern relevancy of the form by actively engaging with international performing arts as present in Europe\, the US and Japan. Mei Lanfang’s carefully prepared international tours with the radically reformed Peking opera were to decide this debate and the domestic fate of genre altogether through international recognition by audiences that included foreign cultural elite and much of the international avant-garde. In this sense\, these tours were the catalyst and the crowning glory of the modernization of the genre. The talk will explore these tours in the context of the shifting self- definition\, self-narration and self-historization of Peking opera in its struggle to become China’s “national opera.”\n\n*Image:“Mei Lan-fang\, China’s Greatest Actor Here for His American Premiere.” Drawing\, 1930.

DESCRIPTION:Future data from galaxy redshift surveys\, combined with high-resolutions maps of the cosmic microwave background\, will enable measurements of the pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) signal with unprecedented statistical significance. This signal probes the matter-velocity correlation function\, scaled by the average optical depth (tau) of the galaxy groups and clusters in the sample\, and is thus of fundamental importance for cosmology. However\, in order to translate pairwise kSZ measurements into cosmological constraints\, external constraints on tau are necessary. In this talk I will present the current state of kSZ measurements\, including a recent measurement by SPT and DES\, insights from simulations\, as well as recent progress in modeling the tau profile of galaxy clusters.

Upon illumination with resonant light\, these gold nanocrystals generate plasmons (coherent oscillations of conduction band electrons). These plasmons\, in turn\, can produce local electric fields and heat. In this talk I will discuss four short stories about gold nanocrystals and their plasmons. In “Physics” we will discuss how molecules experience the local electric field. In “Chemistry” we will discuss how the surface chemistry of the nanocrystals can be tuned with both hard and soft shells\, and how the particular chemistry at the surface dictates molecular function. In “Biology” I will discuss how these nanocrystals interact with biological fluids and living cells\; and in “Ecology” I will discuss how these nanoparticles are distributed in an estuarine ecosystem as a function of surface chemistry.\nCatherine Murphy (University of Illinois) UID:30414-3452060@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30414 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160916T171328 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160928T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160928T230000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:IMSB to Reopen September 28\, 2016 DESCRIPTION:After a long-awaited 17-month\, $21.4 million renovation\, the Intramural Sports Building will officially reopen on Wednesday\, September 28\, 2016 at 4:00pm\, with regular facility hours to follow.

Was the “Marxism” of iconologists in Czechoslovakia real intellectual endeavor\, or was it only a somewhat clumsy (possibly intentionally clumsy) answer to what was asked by the programmatic documents of “socialist art history\,” formulated in 1951? How did they understand the word “iconology”? What did this word connote and what role did it play in the choice of topics\, methodology and argumentation strategies in their research? Was there a clear demarcation line between the ideas belonging to a genuine social history of art and the opportunist acceptance of certain Marxist-Leninist doctrines motivated by pragmatic calculations beyond academic interest in the subject of investigation? In the introductory part of the lecture\, these questions will be opened on a general level. Thereafter\, an attempt will be made to answer them in relation to concrete persons and their works. The interpretation of \"Dürer´s Apocalypse\" by Rudolf Chadraba will be shown in context of his and contemporary criticism of the Roman Catholic Church. The reconstruction of ancient myths in medieval artworks\, as performed by Karel Stejskal\, will be contextualized in the framework of traditional iconology as well as in its relation to the Leninist theory of culture.

Several classical notions describe how ``unconstrained'' the solutions are\, i.e.\, how close X is\nto projective space: there are notions of rational\, unirational and stably rational varieties. Over the field of complex numbers\, these notions coincide in dimensions one and two\, but diverge in higher\ndimensions.

This random Taylor series is distinguished by the invariance of its zero set with respect to the isometries of the complex plane. \n\nI will show that the law of the zero set\, conditioned on the GEF having no zeros in a disk of radius r\, and properly normalized\, converges to an explicit limiting Radon measure in the plane\, as r goes to infinity. A remarkable feature of this limiting measure is the existence of a large 'forbidden region' between a singular part supported on the boundary of the (scaled) hole and the equilibrium measure far from the hole. This answers a question posed by Nazarov and Sodin\, and is in stark contrast to the corresponding result known to hold in the random matrix setting\, where such a gap does not appear.\n\nThe talk is based on a joint work with S. Ghosh.\n Speaker(s): Alon Nishry (UM) UID:33350-4724271@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33350 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 2866 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160922T111712 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160928T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160928T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Marcel Gani Internships Panel DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear from past Marcel Gani student interns on how they spent their summer working at a startup\, VC firm\, or their own entrepreneurial venture.

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.

Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph\, a graphic design or a painting. She digitally prints variations of the image on fabric and divides the copies into many small squares (no two alike). 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.

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

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.

He focuses on ethnicity and politics in Eastern Europe. He has been a visiting professor in Moscow\, Budapest\, Tel Aviv\, and Jerusalem.\n\nInspired by Karl Marx’s vision of a “world without nations\,” the\nBolsheviks believed that religion and nations were artificial constructs of the capitalists designed to keep the working class divided against itself. National passions forced them to recognize the staying power of ethnicity and they constructed a federal state as an interim measure. While the U.S.S.R. did integrate politically a large variety of peoples and cultures\, ultimately it fragmented into 15 states\, many of which now confront minority nationalisms. Russia itself has become militantly nationalistic. Professor Gitelman will explore the theories\, hopes\, and realities surrounding the “national question” in the former Soviet space for the past century.\n\nThis is the second in a six-lecture series. The subject is Russia – Unriddled\, The next lecture will be October 6\, entitled The Importance of Misreading Russia.

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:30043-3321482@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:20160929T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160929T170000 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.

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.

Lech's limit formula states that for a fixed system of parameters f_1\, ...\, f_d on M\, the length of M/(f_1^t_1\, ...\,f^d/t^d)M divided by the product of the t's approaches the multiplicity of the f's on M as the t_i approach infinity. It is natural to ask whether powers of a fixed sequence of parameters may be replaced by any sequence of parameter ideals I_n contained in m^n. Recalling that the multiplicity may be realized as the alternating sum of the lengths of Koszul homology modules\, it is also natural to ask for which i > 0 we have the length of the i^th homology module of the I_n on M divided by the length of M/I_nM approaching 0 as n approaches infinity. In this talk\, we will consider the latter question in the case where R is a complete regular local ring containing a field and M is faithful. We will show that under those conditions the M satisfying that condition for all i > 0 are exactly those that are locally Cohen-Macaulay.\n Speaker(s): Patricia Klein (University of Michigan) UID:33314-4714943@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33314 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 3096 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160916T112903 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160929T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160929T163000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Decision Consortium DESCRIPTION:Can respondent race alter perception of events?

I find evidence in favor of greater conformity with group behavior in public\, with randomization into public bidding increasing the odds of individuals bidding closer to their expectations regarding the average group bid. The intersection of preferences for conformity with low expectations regarding the average willingness to pay for the product results in lower bids in public than private. On the other hand\, bidders who express no expectations regarding group behavior have higher bids when randomized into public bidding\, in line with status seeking in the absence of motives to conform. I find stronger patterns of conformity in environments characterized by high levels of water contamination. However\, priming bidders with salience of health externalities and the negative spillovers from poor investment in preventative health weakens conformity trends. When self-selection into bidding environments is permitted\, conformity trends decline and more standard status seeking motivations emerge.

However\, the fate of this carbon sink is highly uncertain\, in large part because global models diverge in their predictions of ecosystem responses to climate change\, drought\, and other perturbations. Although there is little agreement on how terrestrial ecosystems will respond to global change on decadal and longer time-scales\, there is wide consensus that current global models are overly simplistic in their representation of important ecological processes. I will discuss our current understanding of how tree functional diversity is maintained in forests\, the consequences of including more realistic levels of functional diversity in global models\, and the computational challenges that need to be overcome in order to introduce ecological realism into the Earth System Models that the scientific and policy communities rely on for climate projections. A key result that is emerging from empirical and theoretical studies is that shifts in species composition across time or space (beta diversity) have different (and sometimes opposite) effects on ecosystem stability as local (alpha) diversity.\n\nWatch YouTube video: https://youtu.be/Xv5RtsmMm9Q UID:31886-4437139@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31886 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Engineering,Environment,Information and Technology,Research,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160926T122428 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160929T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160929T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Immigration\, Party Politics\, and America's Racial Divide DESCRIPTION:We know that immigration is profoundly changing the demographics of America but we know less about how it is changing our politics. This presentation seeks to show how immigration is shaping the partisan politics of white Americans. We show that whites’ views on immigration and Latinos are strongly related to their core political identities and vote choices. Spurred on by the Republican Party’s attack on immigrants\, more and more white Americans are shifting to the right. This rightward shift harkens back to an earlier period of white defection from the Democratic Party and has disquieting implications for the future of race relations in America.

These forums will create a space for dialogues among faculty\, students\, staff\, and the Ann Arbor community on a range of issues pertinent to the local and national Latina/o community. The forums will include the participation of University of Michigan faculty members\, graduate and undergraduate students\, and invited speakers from other institutions and organizations.\n\nThe first forum\, “Pulse and Queer Latinidad\,” is Thursday\, September 29\, 2016\, from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm at Haven Hall 3512. This forum is dedicated to the June 12\, 2016 shooting at Pulse\, a gay nightclub in Orlando\, Florida. The participants will discuss the importance of spaces such as Pulse for young queer Latinas/os\, the mainstream media’s coverage of the shooting\, the impact such a tragedy had on the LGBTQ and Latina/o communities\, the ways in which many young Latinas/os used on-line forums to create a support network\, and the ongoing systemic violence against queer Latinas/os. The forum participants are Dr. Ramón Rivera-Servera\, Associate Professor and Chair\, Department of Performance Studies\, Northwestern University\; Dr. Larry La Fountain-Stokes\, Associate Professor\, Departments of American Culture\, Romance Languages and Literatures\, and Women’s Studies\; Vicky Koski-Karell\, doctoral student\, Medical School and Department of Anthropology\; and Patrick Mullen-Coyoy\, BA student\, Honors Latina/o Studies\, Spanish\, and History. Dr. María Cotera\, Associate Professor\, Departments of American Culture and Women’s Studies\, will moderate.\n\nThe second forum\, “Latinas/os and the 2016 Election\,” is Thursday\, November 3\, 2016\, from 4:00 to 6:00 pm at North Quad 2435. Just five days before the 2016 presidential election\, this forum will address the political mobilization of Latinas/os in response to Donald Trump’s campaign\, the community’s engagement with policy debates regarding immigration\, and the response of a diverse Latina/o community (in terms of ethnicity\, age\, and gender) to the Republican and Democratic candidates and platforms. The participants are Dr. John García\, Research Professor Emeritus\, Institute for Social Research\, ICPSR and Center for Political Studies\; Dr. Mara Cecilia Ostfeld\, Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science\; and Vanessa Cruz Nichols\, doctoral candidate in the Department of Political Science. Dr. Silvia Pedraza\, Professor\, Departments of American Culture and Sociology\, will moderate.\n\nThe forums in winter 2017 will be part of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial events. Under the general theme of “The University\, the Nation\, and the Future of Latina/o Studies\,” these engagements will explore the themes of Immigration and Afro-Latinidad. The “Migration” forum will address the impact the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) immigration policy has had at the University of Michigan and at the national level. The “Afro-Latinidades” forum will focus on Afro-Latino and African-American relationships during particular historical periods and especially the relationship between these two groups institutionally at the University of Michigan. More information about the winter 2017 forums will be provided later in the semester.\n\nPARTICIPANTS\n\nDr. Ramón Rivera-Servera\, Associate Professor and Chair\, Department of Performance Studies\, Northwestern University\n\nDr. Larry La Fountain-Stokes\, Associate Professor\, Department of American Culture\, Romance Languages and Literatures\, and Women's Studies\, University of Michigan\n\nVicky Koski-Karell\, Doctoral Student\, Medical School and Department of Anthropology\, University of Michigan\n\nPatrick Mullen-Coyoy\, BA Student\, Latina/o Studies\, Spanish\, and History\, University of Michigan\n\nMODERATOR\n\nDr. María Cotera\, Associate Professor\, Department of American Culture and Women’s Studies\, University of Michigan UID:31453-4276167@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31453 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion LOCATION:Haven Hall - 3512 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160928T093831 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160929T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160929T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lecture: \"Revolutionary melancholy\, narratives of paternity\, and the project of a \"perfect biography\" in the work of Danilo Kiš\" DESCRIPTION:Danilo Kiš used the phrase a \"perfect biography\" for the first and only time in his story \"A Tomb for Boris Davidovich.\" Boris Davidovich Novsky\, the protagonist of this famous story\, ended his life by jumping into the cauldron of boiling tar. The scenography of Novsky’s suicide recalls the aesthetics of his early revolutionary actions as something that simultaneously makes him a transgressor of the revolution and its saint. Novsky-the-terrorist was known for surprising and elegant terrorist acts\, shocking by their speed\, unpredictability\, and large number of victims. Tar\, which ultimately hides Novsky from the revolution\, is traditionally used to publicly mark the traitors of community who had violated its taboos. The flame\, boiling\, explosion and fire\, are the most common symbols by which revolution itself is represented. In the metonymic reading Novsky would be the Revolution itself\, but a revolution that is narcissistic\, suicidal and melancholic.\n\nThe lecture interrogates revolutionary melancholy in the oeuvre of Danilo Kiš as gender melancholy that is always the melancholy of revolutionary masculinity itself. In the work of Danilo Kiš the iconography of the revolutionary initiation - without which Revolution is ineffective - is represented as paternalistic one\, based in the cult of heroic sacrifices. Thus\, the figure of the revolutionary in Kiš’s work is always a male figure: the role of the revolutionary in the sphere of public discourse is inherited along the male lineage\, from the father (of Revolution) to the son (of Revolution). The same patriarchal initiation iconography is also used in Kiš’s poethics lectures on the art of writing through which the figure of the writer is (re)constituted as a heroic and revolutionary male figure. In Kiš’s literary work\, the figure of the writer is palimpsestic and it is melancholically inscribed in the figure of a revolutionary (and vice versa). Boris Davidovich Novsky is a revolutionary and a conformist\, a humanist and a terrorist\, a murderer and a writer\, a bon vivant and a ghost at the same time. His biographies constantly multiply undermining the establishing of \"the true one\" and include the process of inscription of one figure into the other as paradigmatic poetic characteristic of Kiš’s work. Therefore the lecture will also ask questions about the role these inscriptions have had in the constitution of the figure of the writer in Serbian and Yugoslav cultures since the 1980s of the 20th century until today.\n\nThe lecture will be focused on gender(ed) revolutionary melancholy embodied in the ambivalent project of a “perfect biography.” Novsky’s death is spectacular precisely because it has been carefully planned with the one and only purpose: to create an image of a perfect revolutionary. The narratives of paternity\, one of the most important Biblical narratives\, is in the basis of the “perfect biography” project dominated by the totalitarian cult of the revolutionary leader as an iconic ideological father-figure. But the project of a “perfect biography” turns out to be an impossible one. Novsky’s suicidal signature is conceived to be a heroic phase of the Revolution but it paradoxically subverts the revolutionary heroic tradition\, transforming the Great Father/Leader of the Revolution into its Great Other.\n\nThis discussion will also investigate the specific status of the writer figure and his artistic-aesthetic biography in the context of imperatives and transformations of the project of a “perfect biography” in Kiš’s work. The project of a “perfect biography” will be discussed as a project shaped through an ambivalent struggle for a revolutionary/artistic initiation and revolutionary maturity\, for the forgotten past as well as for the lost future of revolution/art\, in which sons and fathers play their tragic\, mutually interchangeable historical and ideological roles. The project of a perfect biography reveals complex political processes of the (re)production and interpellation of revolutionary and artistic figures/names in which Revolution transmutates into a killing machine with its history crowded by scenes of filicide and patricide.\n\nTatjana Rosić Ilić is associate professor at the Faculty of Media and Communications of Singidunum University and a research fellow at the Institute for Literature and Art\, both in Belgrade\, Serbia.

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 is the second of this series of talks.

The design principles incorporate two separate\, photosensitive semiconductor/liquid junctions that will collectively generate the 1.7-1.9 V at open circuit to support both the oxidation of H2O (or OH-) and the reduction of H+ (or H2O). The photoanode and photocathode will consist of rod-like semiconductor components\, with attached heterogeneous multi-electron transfer catalysts\, needed to drive the oxidation or reduction reactions at low overpotentials. The high aspect-ratio semiconductor rod electrode architecture allows for the use of low cost\, earth abundant materials without sacrificing energy conversion efficiency due to orthogonalization of light absorption and charge-carrier collection. Additionally\, the high surface-area design of the rod-based semiconductor array electrode inherently lowers the flux of charge carriers over the rod array surface relative to the projected geometric surface of the photoelectrode\, lowering the photocurrent density at the solid/liquid junction and thereby relaxing demands on the activity (and cost) of any electrocatalysts. Flexible composite polymer film will allow for electron and ion conduction between the photoanode and photocathode while simultaneously preventing mixing of the gaseous products. Separate polymeric materials will be used to make electrical contact between the anode and cathode and also provide structural support. Interspersed patches of an ion conducting polymer will maintain charge balance between the two half-cells. The modularity design approach allows each piece to be independently modified\, tested\, and improved\, as future advances in semiconductor\, polymeric\, and catalytic materials are made. This work will demonstrate a feasible and functional prototype and blueprint for an artificial photosynthetic system\, composed of inexpensive\, earth-abundant materials while simultaneously efficient\, durable\, manufacturably scalable\, and readily upgradeable.\nNathan Lewis (California Institute of Technology) UID:31333-4201025@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31333 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chemistry 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160929T181725 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160929T161000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160929T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Arithmetic Geometry Learning Seminar DESCRIPTION:Speaker(s): Brandon Carter (UM) UID:33819-4806427@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33819 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1360 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160906T093735 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160929T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160929T190000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Presidential Elections & Historic Views of the Markets DESCRIPTION:A lecture presented by TIAA UID:33107-4691093@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33107 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:History LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160909T144309 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160929T171000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160929T183000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Mark Mothersbaugh: Myopia DESCRIPTION:A composer\, multi-instrumentalist\, record producer\, author\, and visual artist\, Mark Mothersbaugh is best known as co-founder\, lead singer\, and keyboardist of the popular new wave band DEVO\, which released a top 20 hit in 1980 with the single “Whip It” and has maintained a cult following throughout its existence.\n\nIn addition to his work with DEVO\, Mothersbaugh has made music for television series\, films\, and video games via his production company\, Mutato Muzika\, and has had a solo career with four studio albums. In film\, he has worked frequently with filmmaker Wes Anderson\, scoring half of his feature films\, including Bottle Rocket\, Rushmore\, The Royal Tenenbaums\, and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. His music has been a staple of children’s television\, appearing in shows such as Rugrats\, Beakman’s World\, Santo Bugito\, Pee-Wee’s Playhouse\, and Regular Show. The character design for Chuckie Finster on Rugrats was based on him.\n\nWith a lifelong interest in creating multimedia art pieces\, Mothersbaugh’s visual art practice preceded his musical career\, and he continues to add to a prolific body of work that includes prints\, drawings\, paintings\, postcard diaries\, sculptures\, rugs\, musical instruments\, videos\, and performances. From his popular music to his personal artwork\, Mothersbaugh’s unique artistic view constantly foregrounds the relationship between technology and individuality. Mothersbaugh will be in conversation with Adam Lerner.\n\nAdam Lerner\, Director and Chief Animator at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver\, author of the book Mark Mothersbaugh: Myopia\, and curator of the accompanying traveling museum retrospective which traces the path from DEVO days to the present.

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.

Due to their ability to internalize competition across OSs\, telecom carriers choose lower two-year contract prices for smartphones with large OSs. In this paper\, I first analyze a two period theoretical model to explain the intuition of multi-network carriers’ pricing strategy. Then I design a structural model of consumer demand and the carrier dynamic pricing game for smartphones\, and empirically study the impact of the OS network effect and carriers’ pricing strategy on the smartphone industry. I estimate the model using product level data from August 2011 to July 2013 in the US. I deal with the empirical challenges of dynamic prices for multi-product carriers\, high dimension continuous state variables\, and asymmetric oligopolistic firms in the estimation. The estimate of the OS network effect in consumer utility is positive and significant. Counterfactual analyses show that the multi-network carriers’ differentiated prices contributed to the smartphone penetration and the OS concentration.

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:30043-3321483@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:20161015T063029 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160930T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160930T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Marketing Track: Office Hours with Brett Friedman DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in exploring careers in media?

While a student at the University\, Brett was a member of Theta Chi Fraternity\, Michigan Sport Business Association\, ICCP (International Coalition of College Philanthropists)\, and interned at Michigan IMG Sports Marketing.Brett graduated from UMICH in 2016 with a major in Sport Management.\n \nFollowing his junior year in 2015\, Brett held a summer internship at Horizon Media in New York\, in their Digital Media department. Here\, he held theresponsibilities of an Assistant Digital Planner\, while working across multiple client accounts including: Little Caesars\, StarKist Tuna\, Ruby Tuesday\, Golden Corral\, Franklin Templeton Investments\, and more. During this internship\, he developed a passion for marketing/advertising and decided that he wanted to pursue a career in marketing in New York City.\n \nIn May 2016\, shortly after graduation\, Brett began his career at Horizon Media as an Assistant Strategist in the Brand Strategy department. During his brief time at Horizon\, Brett is presently working on two client accounts being that of GEICO and i-Health’s Culturelle. He is also currently enrolled in Horizon’s UpStartU program\, which is a 12-week NYU course focusing on Invention and Intrapreneurship within the workplace.\n\nTo schedule an appointment click “Join Event” (lower left navigation bar) and follow these steps: \n- Select Schedule New Appointment\n- Under Category select Office Hours/Consultations\n- Under Appointment Type select Office Hours/Consultations\n- Under Staff Preference click \"Brett Friedman\"\n\nNote: PLEASE SIGN UP ONLY IF YOU ARE 100% COMMITTED TO HONOR YOUR APPOINTMENT.

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.

In the standard ODE model of this process the number of possible molecule types in the resulting \"hypercycles\" is limited eventually by increasingly large swings in the populations of molecule types\, a barrier to complexity. In developing work\, I show that when the hypercycle model includes a malleable resource environment\, this barrier disappears. This fact highlights the importance of niche construction in evolutionary processes but also introduces new features and raises new questions.

Yet the fact that leaders have rarely carried out this advice suggests that existing analyses do not explain why there is a trap. This paper first offers a political explanation for the trap. It then explores the utility of this explanation with a comparative analysis of growth performance in the Malaysian and Thai rubber sectors\, focusing specifically on public testing-research (PTR) facilities and vocational-technical education (VTE).

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.

Lottery participants included oil companies\, as well as individuals without the capital or expertise to drill for oil. In the absence of reallocation\, we expect less drilling on leases won by individuals. We find that leases won by firms and individuals have similar short- and long-term outcomes\, suggesting that secondary markets rapidly and efficiently correct for misallocation to individuals. However\, a subset of parcels with nearby oil production have 50% less drilling when they are won by firms. We develop a simple model to demonstrate how information asymmetry adversely affects firms to a greater degree. Because individuals have larger gains from trade\, they are more likely to overcome asymmetric information and trade with a nearby producing firm.

The purpose of pulling is to get air bubbles into the taffy\, which gives it a nicer texture. Until the late 19th century\, taffy was pulled by hand\, an arduous task. The early 20th century saw an avalanche of new devices to mechanize the process. These devices have fascinating connections to the topological dynamics of surfaces\, in particular with pseudo-Anosov maps. Special algebraic integers such as the Golden ratio and the lesser-known Silver ratio make an appearance\, as well as more exotic numbers. We examine different designs from a mathematical perspective\, and discuss their efficiency.

Although sometimes perceived of as ephemeral or outside the purview of conventional academic norms\, an effective scholarly digital persona often merges the personal and political. \n \n\nHow can social media channels be used to narrowcast your research to useful potential audiences in academia and facilitate geographically distributed collaboration around rapidly developing research topics? What are the norms about negotiating power differentials both with students and with senior faculty? How can you protect yourself against potential online abuse? What are the best strategies for translating the online grey literature that you may generate into peer-reviewed print publications?\n\nIt uses ideas about DIY publishing and academic branding from MICA professor Ellen Lupton and UC Irvine professor Julia Lupton and will help more advanced participants consider how to create an integrated website as the main portal of an online academic presence.

The analysis shows that a full understanding of the meaning of this text requires an appreciation of its use of vari-directional voicing (Bakhtin 1984\, Rampton 1995\, 2006) to create both a parodic and\, arguably\, meta-parodic (Morson 1989\, Dentith 2000\, Coupland 2007) stance on racial\, class and gender politics within the context of contemporary post-Apartheid South Africa. On a purely parodic level\, the text is shown to clearly provide a critique of traditional Afrikaner identity as well as two more modern manifestations of this identity: nouveau-riche femininity and what we refer to as ‘hip-hop masculinity’\, both responses to globalisation. The status of zef itself as a socio-ideological phenomenon is\, however\, shown to be more ambiguous. On the one hand\, by drawing on Bakhtin’s (1965) work on the carnivalesque\, we are able to provide some evidence for a meta-parodic stance that is inherently ambiguous\, self-reflexive and open to self-critique. On the other hand\, it remains clear that Die Antwoord’s project (as reflected\, for example\, in Baby’s on Fire) has\, quite legitimately\, been the subject of accusations of cultural appropriation (Haupt 2012\, Scott 2012) given their use of salient elements of so-called ‘Coloured’ culture as part of accruing large amounts of material capital.

Upon removing the Schur terms whose shape is not contained in a fixed rectangle\, the resulting symmetric function is Schur-nonnegative\, and its Schur coefficients describe: (1) Schubert structure constants for the product of a Schur function and Schubert polynomial\; (2) cohomology classes of positroid varieties in a Grasssmannian\; (3) three-point Gromov-Witten invariants for Grassmannians. We describe a representation of the symmetric group whose Frobenius characteristic is this symmetric function. As a special case\, this includes Postnikov's conjecture that toric Schur functions are Frobenius characteristics of toric Specht modules. Speaker(s): Brendan Pawlowski (U.

However a new generation of extensional geodynamic models has highlighted the role of magmas in weakening the lithosphere and accommodating strain during the initiation and evolution of continental rifts. Studies of rift magmas therefore provide a way to probe the processes associated with lithospheric thinning\, and allow us to assess the possible long term consequences of this thinning on the upper mantle – the future source of mid-ocean ridge magmas. The Main Ethiopian Rift lies at the northern end of the archetypical East African Rift system and provides a 30 million year record of magmatism associated with the Afar plume and continental rifting. Here we present the results of spatial and temporal geochemical studies of rift magmatism in order to constrain the role of magmas in facilitating extension. These data are placed within the existing geodynamic and geophysical framework to provide an integrated model of rift evolution.

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:30043-3321484@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:20161001T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161001T170000 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.

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.
