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.

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.

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:30043-3321485@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:20161002T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161002T170000 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.

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.

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.

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:30043-3321486@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:20160922T105229 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161003T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161003T130000 SUMMARY:Other:The Silence Shoot DESCRIPTION:The Silence Shoot started out as a small project in 2011 out of an apartment in Mount Pleasant\, Michigan. The goal was to bring awareness to individuals who have suffered from bullying\, depression\, loneliness to the point of suicide attempts. It is important to ensure people they are not alone in this world. The Silence Shoot offers individuals the opportunity to show up as their authentic selves and capture these moments in a photoshoot.\n  \nThe concept behind these images is to show both individuality\, but also unity. Participants are encouraged to dress how they wish\, and pose how they wish\, to show that being yourself is nothing to be ashamed of\, but the images are edited all the same to show the solid stance of each person in what The Silence Shoot stands for. \n  \nRed duct tape is used to represent the silencing that bullying condones a person to physically\, mentally\, and emotionally. It also represents the community that is willing to stand as survivors of bullying or allies to those who have survived. We use red to also symbolize the bloodshed that bullying can cause in an act of violence either on another person\, or on one’s self. \n  \nThe black and white editing of everything besides the red tape is a concept that allows the image to show our oneness in the love we have for those being bullied\, and the survivors from said torment. \n\nFor more about The Silence Shoot\, visit www.thesilenceshoot.com.

DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 3\, 2016\n11:30am to 1:00pm (pizza provided 11:20am for first 100 guests)\nGerald R. Ford School of Public Policy\nWeill Hall\, Betty Ford Classroom (1110)\n735 South State Street\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48109\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nSponsored by:\nCenter for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\n \nCo-Sponsors: \nThe University of Michigan’s Graham Sustainability Institute\, Energy Institute\, Program in the Environment (PitE)\, and Evironmental Law & Policy Program (ELPP)\n\n\nDescription:\nThis talk explores a surprising new strategy for climate change policy that has emerged in the last 10 years: “reclaiming the atmospheric commons.” The strategy combines the idea of making polluters pay for their greenhouse gas emissions with the additional idea of using those revenues to generate tangible\, broadly distributed public benefits. The strategy emerged in the creation of the first major U.S. climate change policy\, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)\, in 2008 and has since expanded to other climate policy venues in the United States and abroad. The talk also considers how a focus on new egalitarian principles for any use of the “atmospheric commons” by private companies may also facilitate the implementation of future state climate change and energy policies\, in particular response to U.S. EPA Clean Power Plan regulations.\n\n\nAbout the speaker:\nLeigh Raymond is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for the Environment at Purdue University. He received his Ph.D. in Environmental Science\, Policy\, and Management from U.C. Berkeley\, and a B.A. in Philosophy from Yale University. Dr. Raymond’s research focuses on influence of norms of justice and fairness on the design and implementation off market-based environmental policies\, including emissions trading policies to address climate change. He has also done research on political communication\, policy adoption\, and implementation in a wide range of other environmental policy areas\, including environmental risk management\, renewable fuels\, conservation tillage\, and biodiversity protection on private lands. Dr. Raymond has served as PI or Co-PI on more than $1.2 million in external research grants and is the author or co-author of three books on property rights and environmental policy and more than 30 refereed articles or book chapters\, including a forthcoming book on recent changes in U.S. climate change policy. Dr. Raymond teaches courses related to public policy and the environment\, and was a winner of the Kenneth T. Kofmehl Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Award in the College of Liberal Arts. \n\nAs director of the Center for the Environment\, Dr. Raymond helps organize and promote cross cutting\, interdisciplinary research at Purdue focused on pressing environmental challenges. Prior to his appointment as director of the Center for the Environment\, he was an associate director and founding executive committee member of the Purdue Climate Change Research Center\, a similar program dedicated to interdisciplinary research and teaching on climate change. Raymond also co-organized and led a university cluster hire of seven new faculty members across seven departments at Purdue on the theme of Building Sustainable Communities\, from 2013-2015.\n\nhttp://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/environment/\n\nhttps://www.cla.purdue.edu/polsci/directory/index.aspx?p=Leigh_Raymond\n\n\n\nFor more information visit www.closup.umich.edu or call (734) 647-4091.

Engaging the Discourse of Universality: A Historical Perspective on the Politics of Human Rights in North Africa DESCRIPTION:The foundational instruments of the modern human rights framework were negotiated in the 1950s\, as many colonies were achieving independence. North African states gave support to the human rights treaties\, but for more than a decade the discourse of human rights was controlled by the state. This lecture will trace the spread of human rights ideas to and through North Africa with particular attention to the decade of the 1980s\, when a local human rights movement flowered in the Maghreb. \n \nSusan Waltz is both a scholar and a practitioner in the field of international human rights. She began her career as an area specialist\, focusing on the North African countries of Tunisia\, Morocco\, and Algeria. Over the past twenty years she has conducted research on North African regional politics and the local human rights movement. More recently\, her research has focused on the historical origins of international human rights instruments and the political processes that produced them. She is co-author of the website Human Rights Advocacy and the History of International Human Rights Standards\, hosted by The Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan.

Zhao Jilong has been practicing Qigong and Kung Fu since he was five years old. His specialty is internal power\, which includes things similar to the “five-point-palm-exploding-heart-technique” from Kill Bill\, but also seemingly unrelated skills\, such as writing calligraphy and playing the zither. Master Zhao is also the host of several popular Chinese TV documentaries about traditional Chinese martial arts\, as well as the K-1 Global Kung Fu Ambassador. \n\nThe Zhao Jilong Residency is sponsored by Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies.

The ultimate goal is to give a description of the possible bifurcations that can occur\, i.e.\, given an arbitrary point c in parameter space\, what are the topological-equivalence classes that intersect every neighborhood of c? The goal of this talk is to describe the non-splitting bifurcations: the bifurcations that can occur when when the multiplicities of the equilibrium points are preserved under small perturbation. It will be proved that any non-splitting bifurcation can be realized as a composition of simpler bifurcations from a finite list.

Due to the size of the dataset\, Belle sampled a record breaking 1ab-1 delivered by the B-factory KEK-B\, as well as the precision instrumentation and PID capabilities\, this dataset represents a milestone for our studies of non-perturbative QCD effects in hadronization. \n\nOne focus of the Belle program is the precision measurement of Parton Fragmentation Functions\, which parametrize non-perturbative hadronization effects in QCD factorization formulas if final state hadrons are detected in semi-inclusive measurements\, e.g. in deep inelastic scattering or proton-proton collisions. \n\nIn particular\, Belle results sensitive to transverse polarization dependent fragmentation functions\, which can serve as ‘quark polarimeters’\, play a crucial role in our understanding of the transverse spin structure of the nucleon. Beyond determining Fragmentation Functions\, the study of hadronization allows us access to perturbative and non-perturbative QCD effects\, which is complimentary to using the nucleon as our QCD laboratory. \n\nThis talk will present the latest results from th ongoing program of hadronization studies at Belle. I will also give an outlook towards related physics opportunities at Belle II\, which will start data taking next year\, sampling about 40 times the luminosity that Belle did.

We present the inverse scattering transform method for the solution of the Cauchy initial value problem for sufficiently decaying initial data. As is well known\, the Toda lattice equations can be recast as an isospectral flow on Jacobi matrices and this gives rise to the existence of a Lax pair. Thus we move on to cover scattering theory for Jacobi matrices\, introduce the scattering transform and scattering data associated with a Jacobi matrix. Then we cover the time evolution of the scattering data under the dynamics induced by the Toda lattice equations and present the Riemann-Hilbert formulation of the inverse scattering transform. We review some results on long-time asymptotics of the solutions of the Cauchy initial problem for sufficiently decaying initial data. Time permitting\, we plan to consider Hamiltonian perturbations of the Toda lattice.

Linear independence of columns is\, of course\, equivalent to non-vanishing of the corresponding determinant\, or \"maximal minor.\" If we impose the additional condition that all non-zero maximal minors are positive\, then we get a special kind of matroid--a positroid!\n\nIn this talk\, I will show how positroids are indexed by Postnikov's \"Le Diagrams\,\" and I will explain how to use planar networks to generate all the matrices corresponding to a given positroid. I will try to indicate some of the reasons why positroids are such a nice class of matroids.

These meromorphic invariants arise from the uniqueness of Whittaker model. Among their local applications one finds irreducibility results and a formula for Plancherel measures. In the context of metaplectic groups\, uniqueness of Whittaker model does not hold anymore. Yet\, an analog for these coefficients exists. This analog goes back to Kazhdan-Patterson seminal work on the exceptional representations and is often referred to as a scattering matrix. In this talk we shall give new and simple interpretation to these matrices for coverings of p-adic SL(2) and relate them to Tate-type gamma factors. We shall also give some local applications. This talk should be accessible also for non-experts.

Given this\, Western scholars generally view Iranian cinema as poor territory for exploring love\, sex\, and desire\, with some even suggesting that pornography and Iranian cinema are two contrasting entities. Granted\, it is difficult to find a direct representation of love and sex in Iranian movies but this limitation does not mean that Iranian cinema is devoid of such topics. In fact\, as Hamid Naficy and Shahla Haeri both argue\, Iranian directors have proposed very sophisticated\, complex\, and ingenious methods for discussing eroticism\, love\, and passion in their movies. When faced with strict censorship and social and moral barriers\, what methods have Iranian directors developed in order to address love\, desire\, and passion? In what ways do these methods emancipate or emasculate Iranian artists in their quest to express love and eroticism? Ganjavie attempts to answer these questions\, arguing that it makes little sense to say that any authoritative system with a system of hegemony could prevent its citizens from expressing this impulse in their works since the sexual instinct is life’s drive and only at the moment of death can humans deny its existence. What is essential\, radical\, and utopian is to read the meaning of eroticism in Iranian cinema through the specific culture in which the drive has been developed and shaped.\n \nAmir Ganjavie\, a PhD student in communication and culture at York University\, is a Toronto-based writer\, cultural citric\, and festival director. Fascinated by the issue of alternative and utopian space in modern urban settings\, Ganjavie has published several articles and two books\, one on utopia (Le rôle de la pensée utopique dans l’aménagement des villes de demain) and the other on walkable neighborhoods (Pour une ville qui marche). Aside from academic life\, he writes for Filmint\, Mubi\, Senses of Cinema\, Offscreen\, and Brightlight and also works as the CEO of Cine-Iran festival\, an annual festival of contemporary Iranian cinema held in Toronto\, Canada. He has recently co-edited a special volume on alternative Iranian cinema for film International and edited Humanities of the Other\, an essay collection on the Dardanne Brothers. He is now working on a special issue on Iranian cinema and eroticism for Asian Cinema journal.

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:30043-3321487@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:20161004T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161004T170000 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 instrumental variable approaches and a panel dataset constructed from the ACS and Quarterly Workforce Indicators\, it finds that higher proportions of undocumented workers in metropolitan areas generate increased worker reallocation rates\, churning rates\, and employment rates. These findings are especially salient in industries where undocumented workers make up a larger share of the workforce. In order to place these empirical results in a tractable context\, this paper develops a search model of the local labor market with heterogeneous agents\, building upon the work of Chassamboulli and Peri (2015). Augmenting these models by allowing for endogenous job destruction and on-the-job search generates accurate predictions for the response of gross worker flows to increased proportions of undocumented workers. Further analysis of individuals in the Current Population Survey (CPS) demonstrates that job-to-job transitions drive the market-level results.\n\nThe Economic Consequences of Immigrant Disenfranchisement: Evidence from the United States Abstract:\nWhat are the effects of disenfranchisement on immigrants? This paper studies a little-known episode in United States history in which twenty-three states and territories disenfranchised non-citizen immigrants between 1864-1926. This disenfranchisement represented a significant shock to the political equilibrium of the time: mayoral and gubernatorial vote shares fell immediately by 13 and 7 percentage points\, respectively. There is no evidence that disenfranchisement affected the immediate labor market outcome for affected immigrants\, but there were intergenerational effects. Children of immigrants exposed to disenfranchisement at a young age had worse educational outcomes\, and earned less\, as adults\, than comparable children of natives. The results are robust to controlling for two sets of non-linear trends that account for\, respectively\, the changing composition of immigrant sending countries and changing conditions within state of residence (short run) or state of birth (intergenerational). I find support for two countervailing mechanisms for the intergenerational results: upon disenfranchisement\, states reduced public spending toward immigrants – particularly\, in public employment - but immigrants were also more likely to complete naturalization proceedings\, possibly signaling their value of assimilation and thus mitigating adverse effects.

Nature has developed elegant methods to activate and utilize hydrogen\, especially for the purpose of carbon dioxide CO2 fixation. One such enzyme\, mono-[Fe] hydrogenase\, uses a unique array of non-proteinaceous ligands to activate H2 and perform hydride transfer to the CO2-carrier substrate\, H4MPT+. The iron center is ligated by a unique organometallic pyridone-acyl cofactor\, which along with two carbonyls and a Cys-S stabilizes a low-spin Fe(II) center. We have developed a novel anthracene-scaffold ligand the mimics the biological coordination sphere – in both the identity and crucial facial geometry of the CNS donor set. Studies of H2 activation and hydride transfer will be discussed.\n\nSecond\, a key component of solar energy storage is H2 generation from solar fuels devices. Our work utilizes a combination of silicon photoelectrodes\, molecular interfaces and metal oxide passivating layers to achieve stable photoelectrochemical performance. The devices are characterized primarily by XPS and photoelectrochemistry. We have shown that the molecular nature of the interface between the electrode and the passivating metal oxide is critical in controlling electron transfer and\, ultimately\, the efficiency of H2 generation. We have utilized both molecular catalysts (PNP-Ni\; Re-bpy) and Pt/Au nanoparticles for H2 generation and CO2 reduction. We are also investigating the use of embedded molecular wires in metal oxides (Al2O3\, TiO2\, ZnO) to enhance electron transport across these insulating oxide materials. Our newest findings will be highlighted.\nMike Rose (UT Austin) UID:31403-4251850@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31403 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CHEM CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161019T123030 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161004T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161004T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Preparing for the Actuarial Career Expo DESCRIPTION:This is a closed session for SAM.

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.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012276@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160915T082349 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161005T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161005T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Foreshadowing - Endangered and Threatened Plant Species DESCRIPTION:A unique exhibit of botanical portraits that illuminates native and invasive plant species in a different light. 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:30043-3321488@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:20161005T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161005T170000 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.

Speaking into this self-awareness can help other people address uncertainties in their lives. As a journalist\, Delece Smith-Barrow’s stories and reports hold strong personal interest for her. As Smith-Barrow researches and runs stories on these topics\, she’s realized that people\, both near and far\, share her perspective. By exposing herself\, she is able to voice questions they have\, but don't feel comfortable voicing. Involving herself in the quest for answers\, she is able to offer a story-telling perspective in national media that isn’t often seen. \n\nDelece Smith-Barrow is a higher education reporter at U.S. News & World Report\, where she covers admissions challenges and trends\, and the connection between higher education and employment. She has also been a producer\, online writer and editor\, and reporter for a wide range of issues.

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.

This talk will be an introduction to the physics controlling different aspects of this problem. including the response of the global mean precipitation\, controlled by the energy balance of the troposphere\; the response of the horizontal vapor transport\, controlled by the increasing moisture content of the atmosphere and resulting in the \"wet-get wetter\" and \"dry-get drier\" paradigm in the absence of changes in atmospheric circulation\; and how the changes in atmospheric circulation\, such as the poleward shift of the midlatitude storm tracks can be understood as responses to the changes in water vapor transport. Key observations supporting these theories will be highlighted.

Following Hobson's approach\, I will reformulate this problem as a constrained Skorokhod embedding problem\, and show a natural supperreplication result. Furthermore\, I will show a monotonicity principle for the constrained SEP\, giving a geometric characterisation of the support of the optimisers (in the spirit of Beiglboeck\, Cox and Huesmann (2014)) which allows to link the additional information with geometric properties of the optimizers to the constrained embedding problem. Surprisingly\, for certain types of information the absence of arbitrage can be easily checked by considering only unconstrained solutions. This is a powerful setup in that one can find analytic and numerical solutions to certain pricing and hedging problems.\nThe talk is based on a joint work with Alex Cox and Martin Huesmann.

One way to encode some of these singularities is to look at the summands appearing in the decomposition theorem. In this talk\, we focus on the subvarieties of the target of the Hitchin map that support such summands. I will report on work on done in the case of SL(n) and in joint work in progress with J. Heinloth and L. Migliorini in the case of GL(n). My goal is to walk the audience through the main concepts\, results and techniques.

This inequality states that for every compact set A\,B in R^n\, one has Vol(A+B)^{1/n} >= Vol(A)^{1/n} + Vol(B)^{1/n}\, where Vol denotes Lebesgue measure\, and A+B = {a+b : a in A\, b in B} is the Minkowski sum of A and B. The class of log-concave measures contains fundamental probability measures\, such as the Gaussian measure\, the exponential measure\, and the uniform measure. In this talk\, we show that the Brunn-Minkowski inequality is valid for log-concave measures\, under symmetry assumptions. We then discuss some applications to new isoperimetric-type inequalities.

Most examples in the literature\, exemplified by the well studied pentapyridyl PY5 ligand introduced by Stack and Feringa\, are overall neutral donors\, rendering their transition metal complexes dicationic. We have incorporated two borate functions into this framework\, rendering the ligand dianionic. This more electron rich donor supports neutral M(II) complexes and makes higher oxidation state derivatives more accessible. This talk will explore the coordination chemistry of these ligands with first row transition metals like Ti\, Fe\, Co and Ni and discuss our efforts to generate and characterize higher oxidation state complexes that are key intermediates in catalytic processes involving\, for example\, C-H activation or oxygen reduction.\nWarren Piers (University of Calgary) UID:31404-4251851@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31404 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160919T132550 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161005T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161005T183000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Annual Distinguished Lecture on Europe.

Uxbal Encarnación—father\, husband\, political insurgent—refuses to leave behind the revolutionary ideals and lush tomato farms of his sun-soaked homeland. His wife Soledad takes young Isabel and Ulises hostage and flees with them to America\, leaving behind Uxbal for the promise of a better life. But instead of settling with fellow Cuban immigrants in Miami’s familiar heat\, Soledad pushes further north into the stark\, wintry landscape of Hartford\, Connecticut. There\, in the long shadow of their estranged patriarch\, now just a distant memory\, the exiled mother and her children begin a process of growth and transformation.\n\nEach struggles and flourishes in their own way: Isabel\, spiritually hungry and desperate for higher purpose\, finds herself tethered to death and the dying in uncanny ways. Ulises is bookish and awkwardly tall\, like his father\, whose memory haunts and shapes the boy’s thoughts and desires. Presiding over them both is Soledad. Once consumed by her love for her husband\, she begins a tempestuous new relationship with a Dutch tobacco farmer. But just as the Encarnacións begin to cultivate their strange new way of life\, Cuba calls them back. Uxbal is alive\, and waiting.\n\nBreathtaking\, soulful\, and profound\, The Mortifications is an intoxicating family saga and a timely\, urgent expression of longing for one’s true homeland.\n\n“A revelatory tale of Cuba and America\, of faith and family\, of the spirit and the flesh\, The Mortifications is a debut remarkable for its wise and scrupulous insight into the human heart. Palacio feelingly reminds us that all immigrants are also exiles\, wounded with loss\, striving to make a home even as they yearn for the one they’ve left behind.” —Peter Ho Davies UID:34725-4978905@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/34725 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Books,Literature,Writing LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161101T172213 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161005T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161005T203000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Peer Led Support Group Meetings DESCRIPTION:SAPAC's Peer-led Support Group is a weekly\, drop-in and confidential group for survivors to express concerns and find support among peers in a comfortable setting facilitated by student staff.

We are harnessing interactions between molecular catalysts and their environment to control organometallic catalysis. Incorporating a crown ether macrocycle into a robust pincer ligand enables the donor properties of such “pincer-crown ether” ligands to be tuned through cation-macrocycle interactions. Mechanistic studies of the dynamic interactions between catalysts\, cations\, and substrates provide an emerging picture of how cations can tune ligand substitution\, oxidative addition\, and migratory insertion in catalysis.\nAlexander Miller (UNC Chapel Hill) UID:31405-4251852@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31405 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 Chemistry CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160801T125703 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161006T054500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161006T200000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Active Learning Laboratory DESCRIPTION:This session offers an opportunity to practice active learning techniques by presenting a lesson to a small peer group.

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.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012277@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160915T082349 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161006T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161006T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Foreshadowing - Endangered and Threatened Plant Species DESCRIPTION:A unique exhibit of botanical portraits that illuminates native and invasive plant species in a different light. 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:30043-3321489@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:20161006T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161006T170000 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.

My question is whether it is possible for cinema to help locate forms of refuge today that are distinct from security. Drawing on several examples of moving image media in Japan\, I will argue that one of the key components of locating refuge involves a shift of emphasis from a politics of visibility to one of vulnerability. Visibility is central to the politics of security in all its modalities. While amplifying fear\, security works to obscure any kind of care (indeed\, etymologically\, the term security—securitas—refers to the absence of care). Vulnerability\, on the other hand\, opens possibilities for care foreclosed by the fear and aggression of security. Such a distinction raises multiple questions. How does an image that emphasizes visibility differ from one that emphasizes vulnerability? How does the relationship between visibility and vulnerability intersect with that between image and narrative (or other non-visual elements)\, or specific modes\, such as documentary\, or animation?\n\nPhil Kaffen’s research and teaching interests revolve around the role of the image in modern societies\, from intersections of art and technology in optical media to theoretical reflections on imagination and representation to the politics of surveillance and security. His primary research field is Japan. He has published essays on bodies and urban space in documentary and fiction film\, and on violence in cinema during the 1970s.

But in fact\, the archaeological record is one of tremendous variability in warfare over time and space. Here I compare three different moments in the Andean sequence to highlight the most marked contrasts in the practice and the symbolism of warfare. Societies of the Early Intermediate Period\, most famously represented by the Moche\, developed elaborate traditions of warlike imagery and performance as the elite class engaged in factional rivalries and attempted to naturalize relationships of social dominance. Societies of the Late Intermediate Period in the highlands waged fierce land wars that threatened the population at large\, without referencing warfare in symbolism or spectacle. Chimu and Inca conquests inaugurated a new role for war as the primary technique of coercive control of populations and their territories. In this talk\, I inquire how changing conditions of political interaction over time may have shaped the aims of both warfare and war-related spectacle in the Andes.

The real and imagined intimacies—whether expressed through friendship\, love\, or eroticism—threatened U.S. gender and sexuality norms. To codify U.S. heteronormative behavior\, the colonial government prohibited anything loosely defined as perverse\, which along with popular representations of Filipinos\, regulated colonial subjects and depicted them as sexually available\, diseased\, and degenerate. Mendoza analyzes laws\, military records\, the writing of Philippine students in the United States\, and popular representations of Philippine colonial subjects to show how their lives\, bodies\, and desires became the very battleground for the consolidation of repressive legal\, economic\, and political institutions and practices of the U.S. colonial state. By highlighting the importance of racial and gendered violence in maintaining control at home and abroad\, Mendoza demonstrates that studies of U.S. sexuality must take into account the reach and impact of U.S. imperialism.\n\nCosponsored by the Department of Women's Studies.

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

I outline a research program that applies a hierarchical approach to address this challenge in tropical coastal marine ecosystems. Specifically\, I show how the study of consumer-mediated nutrient dynamics integrates behavioral\, community\, and ecosystem ecology in a framework that can be applied to identify underlying mechanisms of ecosystem function at multiple spatial scales. First\, I show how artificial reefs enhance local ecosystem processes and initiate biogeochemical hotspots at the patch scale. I then explain a series of studies that identify drivers by which fish communities regulate nutrient supply and storage at the ecosystem scale. I demonstrate the relevance of these processes for the structure and function of habitats (e.g.\, coral reefs) that in turn are critical for supporting fish communities. Finally\, I discuss on-going and future research efforts to understand the role of consumer behavior in spatially coupling energy and nutrient dynamics at the landscape scale. Importantly\, my research program is structured such that it bridges science with conservation efforts. Throughout\, I demonstrate how a theory-driven approach to ecology can be directly applied to help solve real-world conservation problems in highly impaired coastal tropical ecosystems.\n\nWatch YouTube video: https://youtu.be/2-aezXOK8Aw UID:34080-4846716@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/34080 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Environment,Research,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160830T130432 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161006T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161006T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"A Sino-Jewish Encounter\, A Humanitarian Fantasy\" DESCRIPTION:In the late 1930s and early 1940s\, tens of thousands of European Jews fleeing Nazi genocide found a temporary safe haven in Shanghai. They were able to do so because Shanghai was an open city under divided governance and because China was at war with Japan and could not exercise sovereign control over its borders.

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 third\, and last\, of this series of talks.

What can we then say about M? Examples are provided by tori\, in which case the covering is a linear endomorphism. Under the assumption that all iterates of the covering of M are regular\, we show that any self-cover is induced by a linear endomorphism of a torus on a quotient of the fundamental group. Under further hypotheses we show that M admits the structure of a principal torus bundle. We use this to give an application to holomorphic self-covers of Kaehler manifolds.

We show that the convergence result obtained by Niethammer (J. Nonlinear Sci. 2003) can be extended to proof the convergence not only for solutions of the Becker-Doering equation towards the Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner equation of coarsening\, but also the convergence of the associated gradient structures. \n \nFurthermore\, we will discuss the role of well-prepared initial data for the convergence statement and its relation to the relaxation of solutions of the Becker-Doering equation towards a quasistationary distribution dictated by the monomer concentration on the considered time-scale.

Some of them insisted on strict observance\; others argued that only parts of the Law needed to be observed\; and yet others claimed that Law had never been part of God’s plan. These early Christian groups did\, however\, agree on one point: Jesus’ own words\nwere to form the basis for his followers’ ethical and communal lives. This lecture will examine how the Christian faith moved from embracing the “old” covenant focused on Torah to adopting a “new” covenant centered on the life\, death\, and teachings of Jesus.\n\nProfessor Bart Ehrman is the James A.

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.

Whereas the study of what we hear has conventionally been reserved for the medical specialist\, the acoustic engineer\, and the ethnomusicologist\, in recent years the life of sounds – from the most refined of classical music to the most irritating of street noises – has become a topic for disciplines as diverse as history\, law\, economics\, performance studies\, film studies. Sound studies\, now a burgeoning field\, has often focused on Europe and the United States\, leaving regions such as the Indian subcontinent outside of its purview\, while within South Asian studies\, the aural has arguably been neglected as an analytic\, in comparison to the rich and diverse scholarship on the visual. This conference\, drawing on recent developments in both sound studies and South Asian studies\, seeks to remedy this relative absence by engaging scholars across these fields.\n\nThis two-day conference will bring together scholars from India and the United States to explore and answer several interrelated questions. How does sound become a commodity in South Asia\, whether through its purchase in music stores or through its theft in digital arenas? How do the instruments through which we receive sound\, from seemingly optional technologies like the radio to expensive medical technologies like the hearing aid\, shape our understandings of the social worlds that we inhabit? What might we learn from studying sound in performance contexts that are not solely focused on music\, such as the Urdu poetry recitation known as the mushaira or the Tamilian dance forms of sadir and bharatanatyam? And might South Asian film and moving image media\, with their distinctive song-and-dance traditions\, provide a distinctively subcontinental ideal for the use of sound? In keeping with these guiding questions\, the conference is organized around four major themes: instruments of sound\; sound in performance\; sonic commodities\; and the sound of images.\n\nWe look forward to welcoming Jayson Beaster-Jones (University of California\, Merced)\, Corey Creekmur (University of Iowa)\, Vebhuti Duggal (Sarai-CSDS\, India)\, Michele Friedner (Stony Brook University)\, Linda Hess (Stanford University)\, Isabel Huacuja Alonso (California State University\, San Bernardino)\, Neepa Majumdar (University of Pittsburgh)\, Madhuja Mukherjee (Jadavpur University\, India)\, Davesh Soneji (University of Pennsylvania)\, Pavitra Sundar (Hamilton College)\, Nathan Tabor (Western Michigan University)\, and Amanda Weidman (Bryn Mawr College).\n\nThis conference was made possible by generous support from Ranvir and Adarsh Trehan and the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\, with additional support from the: School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\; Departments of Communication Studies\, History\, English Language and Literature\, and Screen Arts and Cultures\; the Global Media Studies Initiative\; and U-M Initiative on Disability Studies.\n\nA schedule and a list of speakers are available here: http://ii.umich.edu/csas/news-events/events/conferences.html UID:32219-4518193@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/32219 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia,Film,Music LOCATION:School of Social Work Building - Room 1636 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160914T142524 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161007T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161007T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Documenting Detroit - A Monts Hall Photo Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Documenting Detroit is a collection of photographs taken by students from the College for Creative Studies during the 1970s and 1980s.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012278@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160929T162357 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161007T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161007T103000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:What does it take?

For Weber\, Catholicism was too affiliated with spiritual transcendence to give rise to a capitalist subject\, fully dedicated to the mundane labors of everyday life. Immediately controversial yet powerful even today\, this thesis has long impacted scholarship and debate about the history of capitalism. But it has tended to relegate Spain and its empire to capitalism’s temporal “pre-history” or spatial “outside\,” chalking the activities of the colonizers up to little more than the self-evidently non-modern auri sacra fames (greed for gold) that Columbus so clearly displayed in his writings.\n\nTaking Weber’s work and legacy as a point of departure\, this one-day\, interdisciplinary workshop aims to explore the intersections of Capitalism\, Catholicism\, and Colonialism in the early modern Iberian world. Topics could include\, but are not limited to\, scholasticism and value\; commerce\, communication\, and conversion\; austerity and asceticism\; spiritual capital\; evangelization and accounting\; religion\, blood\, and race\; violent vs. peaceful evangelization and primitive accumulation\; secularism and the Jesuits\; fetishism of relics and commodities\; the labor theory of value and the School of Salamanca\; and usury and finance.

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:30043-3321490@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:20161022T063022 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161007T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161007T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:McKinsey&Company Women's Speed Dating Brunch DESCRIPTION:Please RSVP here by Tuesday\, October 4th at 2pm ET: https://doodle.com/poll/6mbk9fvstwwc8zr8 \nA confirmation email will be sent on Wednesday\, October 5th UID:33790-4787024@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33790 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160706T154352 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161007T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161007T170000 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.

Enemies: Diplomacy Documentary\, Espionage Film\, and the Persistence of Class in Cold War China DESCRIPTION:This talk draws from both documentary films consolidating international friendships and espionage films uncovering hidden enemies to situate cinema at the center of manufacturing class visibility and certainty in a Cold War environment where identities and alliances were in constant flux. Flourishing in the 1950s and early 1960s\, espionage films mapped class differences onto bodily practices\, sensorial experiences and the urban space\, just when political and economic changes had gradually eliminated the foundations of class politics. The persistence of the spectre of class in China’s socialist space\, then\, must be read in relation to Cold War anxieties of national security and anti-revolutionary infiltration. Indeed\, as the Sino-Soviet brotherhood and Sino-Indonesian honeymoon\, both celebrated on screen\, ended in deepened international hostility and China’s ideological hardening\, we see a triple crisis of domestic politics\, international relations and visual representation. Diplomacy documentary descended into compulsive repetition and hysterical excess to bolster new screen friendships\, for example\, that with Albania. Viewing positions from espionage films were applied to real-life political struggles\, most telling in using documentary “evidence” to incriminate Liu Shaoqi and Wang Guangmei for their alleged defection. Moving between documentary and fiction\, domestic class politics and Cold War geopolitics\, this talk attempts to think through the persistence and hardening of the notion of class in a socialist China through the central mediation of cinema.Through textual analysis and historical investigation\, this paper argues that cinema’s power in the PRC had deep connections to the country’s spiritual traditions\, displacing and re-assembling it to create a new society.\n\n*Image: Wang Guangmei in Indonesia UID:32829-4627111@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/32829 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chinese Studies,colloquium,Film,Food,Free,Lecture,Research,Talk LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161004T155757 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161007T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161007T140000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Live broadcast: Bankole Thompson\, 910 AM Superstation DESCRIPTION:Come by the Ford School's Great Hall to watch journalist Bankole Thompson host a live broadcast of his radio program.

Here we describe a more efficient\, machine-learning-based alternative. Acoustic measurements of 29 features were used to train a Support Vector Machine\, allowing the classification of English vowels as “oral” or “nasalized”. The best-performing features were then tested using modified experimental stimuli with human listeners. The SVM model and human listeners showed similar patterns of confusion and perception\, suggesting that SVMs can be used to predict the utility of different features for human perception.

As EIT\, MAET aims at imaging of the non-uniform conductivity inside an object. To this end\, the object is placed in a magnetic field and subjected to ultrasound waves. As a result\, Lorentz force generates currents that can be measured outside of the object. After a short theoretical introduction into MAET\, I will present the design of a simplified 2D MAET scanner we have built\, and will discuss new mathematical problems associated with this device\, and the methods that can be used to solve them.

If the trees are duals to sphere systems one can give a description of the core using the intersection patterns of spheres. We investigate how the core changes along a surgery sequence. We then use this to show that forward and backward surgery paths have a Hausdorff distance of at most 4 in the sphere graph.

First\, we develop a diagnostic of quantum chaos by directly considering the time evolution of a simple local operator. This leads us to out-of-time-order correlation functions as a natural measure of quantum chaos. We explain how such correlators are natural probes of the black hole interior in holography. Using tools from quantum information\, we use a generalization of these correlators to develop a lower bound on the computational complexity of an ensemble of unitary operators. Finally\, we introduce a conjecture that the quantum complexity of a holographic state is dual to the space-time action of the black hole interior.

At a conference in his honor\, a select group of historians\, anthropologists\, and political scientists from across the globe will assemble to speak on topics that he has pioneered. Regional and topical sessions will address nationhood and identity in late imperial and Soviet history\; Marxism\; empire in Russia and elsewhere\; and genocide. Intellectually adventurous and ready to delve into new theoretical literatures\, Professor Suny has enriched and inspired research in all of these disparate areas. The panelists all draw on his ground-breaking work on constructed nationhood\, the tensions and synergies between imperial and national formations\, and the critically important contribution of emotion to political life\, both positive and\, in the case of genocide\, deadly.\n\nTo register for the conference and access the pre-circulated papers\, please contact Krista Goff (kgoff@miami.edu).

Increasing warming in the Arctic is leading to an acceleration of the hydrologic cycle\, warming of permafrost\, and broad shifts in vegetation. All of these changes are likely to affect the delivery\, reactivity\, and burial of tPOC in nearshore Arctic regions\, making the Arctic an ideal place to study the effects of climate change on tPOC delivery. However\, to date\, most studies of tPOC delivery from North America to the Arctic Ocean have focused on large Arctic rivers like the Mackenzie and Yukon\, and a significant portion of those watersheds lie in sub-Arctic latitudes\, meaning that their tPOC delivery is likely not uniquely representative of the high Arctic tundra. Here\, we focus on tPOC delivery by the Colville River\, the largest North American river with a watershed that does not include sub-Arctic latitudes. Water column particulates and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) samples\, surface sediment samples\, and long cores from the river delta and nearby Simpson’s Lagoon were taken in multiple field campaigns from 2010 – 2015. Results from bulk and compound specific OC analyses show that tPOC delivery near the river mouth is sourced from coastal plain tundra\, with additional delivery of tPOC from peat released into the lagoon from the seaward limit of the tundra by coastal erosion\, and a clear differentiation between tPOC delivered by the river and tPOC delivered by coastal retreat in the lagoon. Additionally\, a significant portion of the OC released by the Colville River is relatively thermochemically reactive and sourced from Pleistocene-aged yedoma-like deposits\, and could contribute to increased OC mineralization in the Beaufort shelf.

Similarly\, many epistemic decision theorists hold an Epistemic Dominance Principle\, which says that one should not adopt a dominated belief state --one that is less accurate than some other belief state no matter what the state of the world. The Epistemic Dominance Principle is useful for vindicating probabilism.\n\nRecently\, authors like Michael Caie and Richard Pettigrew have raised doubts about the epistemic version of the Dominance Principle. They argue that where a dominating belief state is unavailable or unchoiceworthy (in the right way)\, it cannot give us sufficient reason to reject the belief state it dominates. \n\nI argue that the correct response to these challenges is to break the Dominance Principle into two parts: one that connects dominance to value comparisons\, and another that connects value comparisons to choices. According this response\, domination by an unavailable belief state is not a sufficient reason to reject a belief state\, but domination by an unchoiceworthy belief state sometimes is.

Stachowiak\, University of Texas at Austin DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nMembrane traffic\, an essential cellular process that plays a role in many human diseases\, requires key biophysical steps including formation of membrane buds\, loading of these buds with specific molecular cargo\, separation from the parent membrane\, and fusion with the target membrane. The prevailing view has been that structured protein motifs such as wedge-like amphipathic helices\, crescent-shaped BAR domains\, curved coats and constricting dynamin rings drive these processes. However\, many proteins that contain these structural motifs also contain large intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) domains of 300-1500 amino acids\, including most clathrin and COPII coat components. While these IDP domains have been regarded primarily as flexible biochemical scaffolds\, we have recently discovered that IDPs are highly efficient physical drivers of membrane budding. Further\, our work demonstrates that IDP domains serve as strong drivers of membrane fission. How can molecules without a defined structure drive membrane budding and fission? Our results support the idea that disordered domains generate entropic pressure at membrane surfaces\, which is critical to overcoming key biophysical barriers to membrane traffic. IDPs are particularly efficient generators of entropic pressure owing to their very large hydrodynamic radii\, potential for electrostatic repulsion owing to high net charge\, and the substantial entropic cost of extending them. More broadly our findings suggest that any protein\, regardless of structure\, can contribute to membrane remodeling by increasing entropic pressure\, and paradoxically\, that proteins that lack a defined secondary structure\, IDPs\, may be among the most potent drivers of membrane traffic. Our ongoing work focuses on understanding how entropic pressure influences membrane traffic\, and designing biophysical tools for manipulating receptor recycling and signaling.

Weatherhead III University Professor at Harvard University. King is the director of the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard.\n\nAbstract: The spectacular progress the media describes as “big data” has little to do with the data. Data\, after all\, is becoming commoditized\, less expensive\, and an automatic byproduct of other changes in organizations and society. More data alone doesn’t generate insights\; it often merely makes data analysis harder. The real revolution isn’t about the data\, it is about the stunning progress in the statistical and other methods of extracting insights from the data. I illustrate these points with a wide range of examples from research I’ve participated in\, including forecasting the solvency of Social Security\; reverse engineering Chinese government censorship and fabrication of social media posts\; how the same methods can estimate the causes of death in developing countries and understand billions of social media posts\; an educational innovation that guarantee that students will do the reading\; among others.

Signed languages differ dramatically from spoken languages with respect to linguistic articulators and perceptual systems required for comprehension. I explore whether key brain areas identified for processing spoken language are also critical for the comprehension and production of sign languages. In addition\, my work investigates domains where language interfaces with other cognitive systems\, specifically motion processing\, spatial cognition\, and action generation. The study of sign languages provides a unique window into the factors that do and do not influence the neural organization for language. As we begin to uncover the new biology of language\, moving beyond the classic brain regions of Broca and Wernicke\, investigations of sign language will help characterize and identify the neural architecture that supports the human language faculty.\n\nKaren Emmorey is a Professor of Speech Language at San Diego State University UID:31064-4026876@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31064 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,colloquium,Discussion,Language LOCATION:Hutchins Hall - 250 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160923T151842 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161007T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161007T173000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Minor in Writing Information Session DESCRIPTION:The Sweetland Minor in Writing is designed for undergraduate students who are interested in developing their disciplinary and professional writing abilities while pursuing their majors.

If not\, what use is to be made of them? This talk will begin by briefly considering the “outmodedness” of scientific theories—sometimes paradoxical—and then contrast that with the situation of music theory. Keeping some salutary cautions in mind\, I will recount some past uses of older music theories\, good and bad\, in order to consider which uses are foundationally legitimate. With this as preface I will then turn to a perspective that permeated theoretical language of the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, that known as energetics. In current thinking\, energetics is downplayed as vague and ungrounded\, but I will argue that concepts we associate with Kurth are indispensable to Schenkerian analysis and even to Riemann’s metric analysis. This will be extensively demonstrated in a close reading of that most energetic work\, the first movement of Brahms’s Third Symphony.

Hear about this from one of the greatest astrophysicists of our time\, Rashid Sunyaev\, who will be giving the Mohler Prize lecture on Friday\, October 7 at 7pm. Professor Sunyaev will speak about the Cosmic Microwave Background and the event that led to its creation long before any stars or planets had formed. Through the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)\, we see tiny variations in the density of the universe that collapses under gravity to form the familiar galaxies and solar systems of today. The CMB also reveals the amounts of dark energy\, dark matter\, normal matter that comprise our Universe and dictate its evolution and future. \n\nRashid Sunyaev is one of the most distinguished theoretical astrophysicist\, with groundbreaking work in high energy astrophysics and physical cosmology. He has made many contribution in the study of the cosmic microwave background radiation\, including predictions of variations in the background due to oscillations and to the distortion of the background light through the hot gas in clusters of galaxies (the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect). Predicted well ahead of their discoveries\, these have become central fields in modern astrophysics. Another major contribution is his work with Shakura on the accretion disk of gas around black holes and neutron stars\, which is the cornerstone for understanding the environment and feeding of these exotic objects.\n\nIn addition to his theoretical work\, Professor Sunyaev has been deeply involved in a number of Soviet space missions: RELIKT\, which measured variations in the Cosmic Microwave Background (1980s)\; he led the team that operated an X-ray observatory on the Mir space station\; he was a principal in the GRANAT orbiting X-ray telescope\; and he is leading a team to launch the Spectrum-X-Gamma International Astrophysical Project in 2017. \n\nProfessor Sunyaev was won 14 major prizes or distinguished awards\, including the Heineman Prize (2003)\, the Crafoord Prize (2008)\, and the Kyoto Prize (2011)\; the earliest being the Bruno Rossi Prize of High Energy Astrophysical Division of the American Astronomical Society in 1988. In addition to being a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences\, he is a member of five other distinguished (exclusive) societies.\n\nOriginally from Tashkent\, Uzbekistan\, he was educated at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (PhD in 1968)\, where he became a professor (1975) and held a position at the Moscow Institute of Applied Mathematics\, along with being the head of the Laboratory for Theoretical Astrophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (1973-1982). More recently\, he holds several positions\, including Professor at the Institute of Physics and Technology in Moscow\, head of the High-Energy Astrophysics Dept. of the Institute for Space Research in Moscow (since 2002\; Chief Scientist since 1992)\, and Director and Scientific Member at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching\, Germany (since 1996). \n\nThe Orren C. Mohler Prize was established by the Department of Astronomy in 1986 and is awarded for excellence in research in astronomy and astrophysics.

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.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012279@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161003T145435 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161008T091500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161008T130000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:CSAS Sound and South Asia Conference DESCRIPTION:Please be aware that day two of this conference (October 8) meets at the U-M Ross School of Business\, Room 1240.\n\nThe Center for South Asian Studies (CSAS) is pleased to announce that we will be holding an international conference on “Sound and South Asia” in October 2016. Whereas the study of what we hear has conventionally been reserved for the medical specialist\, the acoustic engineer\, and the ethnomusicologist\, in recent years the life of sounds – from the most refined of classical music to the most irritating of street noises – has become a topic for disciplines as diverse as history\, law\, economics\, performance studies\, film studies. Sound studies\, now a burgeoning field\, has often focused on Europe and the United States\, leaving regions such as the Indian subcontinent outside of its purview\, while within South Asian studies\, the aural has arguably been neglected as an analytic\, in comparison to the rich and diverse scholarship on the visual. This conference\, drawing on recent developments in both sound studies and South Asian studies\, seeks to remedy this relative absence by engaging scholars across these fields.\n\nThis two-day conference will bring together scholars from India and the United States to explore and answer several interrelated questions. How does sound become a commodity in South Asia\, whether through its purchase in music stores or through its theft in digital arenas? How do the instruments through which we receive sound\, from seemingly optional technologies like the radio to expensive medical technologies like the hearing aid\, shape our understandings of the social worlds that we inhabit? What might we learn from studying sound in performance contexts that are not solely focused on music\, such as the Urdu poetry recitation known as the mushaira or the Tamilian dance forms of sadir and bharatanatyam? And might South Asian film and moving image media\, with their distinctive song-and-dance traditions\, provide a distinctively subcontinental ideal for the use of sound? In keeping with these guiding questions\, the conference is organized around four major themes: instruments of sound\; sound in performance\; sonic commodities\; and the sound of images.\n\nWe look forward to welcoming Jayson Beaster-Jones (University of California\, Merced)\, Corey Creekmur (University of Iowa)\, Vebhuti Duggal (Sarai-CSDS\, India)\, Michele Friedner (Stony Brook University)\, Linda Hess (Stanford University)\, Isabel Huacuja Alonso (California State University\, San Bernardino)\, Neepa Majumdar (University of Pittsburgh)\, Madhuja Mukherjee (Jadavpur University\, India)\, Davesh Soneji (University of Pennsylvania)\, Pavitra Sundar (Hamilton College)\, Nathan Tabor (Western Michigan University)\, and Amanda Weidman (Bryn Mawr College).\n\nThis conference was made possible by generous support from Ranvir and Adarsh Trehan and the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\, with additional support from the: School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\; Departments of Communication Studies\, History\, English Language and Literature\, and Screen Arts and Cultures\; the Global Media Studies Initiative\; and U-M Initiative on Disability Studies.\n\nA schedule and a list of speakers are available here: http://ii.umich.edu/csas/news-events/events/conferences.html UID:32219-4518194@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/32219 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia,Film,Music LOCATION:Ross School of Business - Room 1240 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161008T120030 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161008T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161008T160000 SUMMARY:Other:Arts and Crafts Show DESCRIPTION:The Ann Arbor Annual Arts & Crafts Show “Crafting with Grace” is holding its annual event on Saturday\, October 8\, 2016\, 10am-4pm.

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.

Behind marijuana\, prescription drugs are the second most abused substance among teens today. Many teens mistakenly view prescriptions as a medically safe way to get high. Prescription pain relievers\, such as OxyContin and Vicodin\, are most commonly abused and teens can get these easily from their homes. Help us keep our teens and children safe.

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:30043-3321491@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:20161008T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161008T170000 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.

Wang Wo\, 12 min.\, 2007)\nUp & Down exemplifies experimental filmmaker Wang Wo’s love of form and design. The film is split down the middle from beginning to end\, both vertically and horizontally. The initial split features a traveling shot out a car on top\, and another moving in the other direction from subway. Those familiar with the geography of Beijing will recognize that both have a similar trajectory\, Tiananmen Square\, where the split screen plays with the symmetrical built space of premodern and modern China— cleverly undercutting the awe that architecture is meant to inspire.\n\nWhen Night Falls 《我还有话要说》 (dir. Ying Liang\, 70 min.\, 2012)\nA literal translation for this film’s title is “I still have something to say.” It is based on the Yang Jia incident\, where a young man invaded a Shanghai police station and murdered six policemen with a knife. Yang was driven by revenge for being arrested and beaten by police for riding an unlicensed bicycle. The film focuses on the man’s mother and her own treatment by police\, as well as the controversial trial that led to Yang’s execution. It was one of three films produced by the Jeonju International Film Festival. The Chinese government attempted to purchase the rights of the film to prevent its public release\, a deal the festival refused.\n\nAbout the Directors\n\nWang Wo (王我) was born in Hebei Province\, and is currently living in USA. He studied graphic design at the Central Academy of Arts and Design\, and received an MA in Arts and Design from Tsinghua University. He began making films in 2004\, establishing himself as one the innovative of the independent documentary filmmakers. His experimental documentaries include Outside (2005)\, Noise (2007)\, Zhe Teng: According to China (2010)\, The Dialogue (2014) and Filmless Festival (2015). Along with his filmmaking\, Wang established himself as an artist and graphic designer. His powerful posters for the Beijing Independent Film Festival are admired the world around.\n\nYing Liang (应亮) is a feature film director currently living in Hong Kong. He was born in Chongqing\, and studied filmmaking at Chongqing Film Academy and Beijing Normal University. He began his career making short films\, before making his first feature\, Taking Father Home\, in 2005. His other major films include The Other Half (2006)\, Condolences (2009)\, Good Cats (2008) and When Night Falls (2012). The latter film led to his current exile in Hong Kong\, when the government refused to allow his re-entry after an international film festival visit. Ying is also the founder of the Chongqing Independent Film and Video Festival\, which started in 2007 and was the first film festival in Western China.
