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.

The exhibit features a British team\, headed by Peter Waters\, which created a washing-drying-mending-rebinding system to deal with tens of thousands of books damaged by the disaster.\n\nThe two most important outcomes of the tragedy are the professional training of library conservators and the establishment of disaster preparedness and response programs.\n\nLearn more and register for the symposium\, The Flood in Florence\, 1966: A Fifty-Year Retrospective\, happening November 3-4\, 2016. https://www.lib.umich.edu/flood-florence-1966-fifty-year-retrospective UID:33962-4826147@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33962 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, 2nd Floor Hatcher CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160816T170457 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161009T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161009T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:It's Still Terrific!

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:44929-10012280@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:20161006T120303 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161009T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161009T120000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:\"My Turn\" Special ASD Access Hours DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, October 9\, UMMA will open from 10 a.m.–12 p.m. exclusively for a FREE ASD friendly program allowing families to enjoy art in a fun and welcoming atmosphere.

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:30043-3321492@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:20161009T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161009T170000 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.

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.

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 LHC’s 2015 run demonstrated the ability to run at 13 TeV\, and a substantial amount of data are expected at this energy Summer 2016. These data will represent a real window of opportunity for discovery that will rapidly push into a new regime and probe many models at the TeV scale. \n\nShould a discovery be made\, this workshop will be the ideal opportunity to bring together experts to try and place any excesses in the context of underlying theories. In the absence of immediate signals\, it will be a chance to regroup\, and consider what the foci should be for BSM physics in the upcoming years. \n\nThe workshop will be around 2.5 days. Participants are welcome to stay for the remainder of the week (with fewer talks\, but opportunity for informal discussions and collaboration).\n\nFor registration information\, please contact Karen O'Donovan\, killwick@umich.edu UID:34515-4957127@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/34515 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science,Workshop LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160914T142524 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161010T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161010T163000 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:44929-10012281@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:20160907T192718 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161010T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161010T113000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Beginning Lip Reading DESCRIPTION:Do you want to read lips?

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.

After a brief introduction\, participants will read and hear examples of different verse forms: sonnets\, couplets\, alliterative verse\, blank verse\, free verse and poems in unusual meters and stanzas. Examples will be drawn from very early English poetry up to the 20th century. We'll consider how poetry works as narrative\, as a vehicle for experience and as self-expression. We'll use a short anthology that the instructor will make available to the class. James McIntosh is Professor Emeritus of English and American Culture. This class for adults over 50 meets Mondays through December 5th. There will be no class on Oct 17.

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:30043-3321493@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:20160818T152733 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161010T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161010T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Colloquium Series. Muslim Pathways: Ethics of Cohabitation\, Assembly\, and Informality DESCRIPTION:Drawing upon field research in different Muslim cities\, Professor Haines analyzes the diverse ways modernity reshapes community\, belonging\, and cohabitation through the mapping and policing of a diversity of borders: between modernity and tradition\, centers and peripheries\, wealthy and poor\, as well as between national territories. He questions how crossing borders and disrupting normative claims to purifying the ‘in-group’ become contested aspirations and practices to forge new kinds of community\, ones often rooted in Islamic ideals and ethics. \n \nChad Haines is a cultural anthropologist and assistant professor of Religious Studies and Global Studies at Arizona State University. He earned his PhD in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2000). Haines’ publications include Nation\, Territory\, and Globalization in Pakistan: Traversing the Margins (Routledge 2012) that analyzes the mapping of marginal spaces within the nation-making processes of Pakistan\, particularly focusing on the remote\, mountainous northern region of Gilgit-Baltistan. He is co-editor of Women and Peace in the Islamic World: Gender\, Agency\, and Influence (I.B. Taurus 2015) and the forthcoming People’s Peace: Prospects for a Human Future. He is currently completing a manuscript titled: Muslim Pathways: Negotiating Modernity\, Religion\, and Urbanity. \n\nBefore moving to ASU\, Haines taught at American University in Cairo (2004-2008) and was a Senior Fulbright Research Fellow in Pakistan (2009). He held a number of visiting and research positions at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill’s University Center for International Studies\, at Duke University’s Center for South Asian Studies\, the Center for Civilizational Dialogue in the University of Malaysia\, and the Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict at ASU.\n\n** For CMENAS students only **\n1:30-2 pm — CMENAS students workshop/discussion with the lecturer/professor.

We then discuss two different smooth formulations of the model and compare model predictions with data on freshwater plankton collected from Lake Constance on the German-Swiss-Austrian border. Finally\, we discuss a 1 fast-3 slow system for one predator feeding adaptively on two different prey types and inspired by the first model.\n Speaker(s): Sofia Piltz (University of Michigan) UID:34529-4959714@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/34529 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161003T170509 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161010T121000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161010T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantitative Biology Seminar | A Piecewise-Smooth\, Two Smooth\, and a Fast-Slow System for Plankton Population Dynamics DESCRIPTION:Phytoplankton\, and the zooplankton that graze upon them\, play a crucial role in the dynamics observed at higher levels of the aquatic ecosystem.

She studies policy and politics related to science and technology\, as well as the politics of evidence and expertise in policymaking\, in the United States\, Europe\, and India. She is the author of numerous articles and a book\, Building Genetic Medicine: Breast Cancer\, Technology\, and the Comparative Politics of Health Care (MIT Press\, 2007). Findings from this book\, which compared the development of genetic testing for breast and ovarian cancer in the United States and Britain\, helped to inform the 2013 US Supreme Court case over gene patents. Her second book\, Patently Political: Life\, Markets\, and Morality in the United States and Europe\, is forthcoming with University of Chicago Press. Comparing recent controversies over life form patents in the United States and Europe\, it demonstrates how political culture\, ideology\, and history shape patent systems in fundamental ways. She is starting a new project that aims to develop a better understanding of grassroots innovation in India\, which often takes place outside the global marketplace and is low-tech and small-scale\, in the hope that it might usefully inform both our theories of innovation and our innovation and development policies. She is a Faculty Affiliate in UM's Science\, Technology\, and Society and Feminist Science Studies programs. She sits on the Council of the Society for the Social Studies of Science\, and the Governing Council of the Science and Democracy Network.\n\nPaul Courant has served as provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs\, University Librarian and Dean of Libraries\, as associate provost for Academic and Budgetary Affairs\, as chair of the Department of Economics\, and as director of the Institute of Public Policy Studies (predecessor of the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy). He served as a senior staff economist at the Council of Economic Advisers from 1979 to 1980. Courant has authored half a dozen books\, and over seventy papers covering a broad range of topics in economics and public policy. Most recently\, his academic work has considered the economics of universities\, the economics of libraries and archives\, and the effects of new information technologies and other disruptions on scholarship\, scholarly publication\, and academic libraries. He is active in a number of national initiatives\, including the Digital Public Library of America and the Authors Alliance.\n\nJoy Rohde\, assistant professor of public policy\, is a historian who works at the intersection of U.S. intellectual and policy history\, the history of U.S. foreign relations\, and science and technology studies. She is currently working on a book project that explores how ideas about cybernetics and advances in information technology\, like research databases and statistical software\, impacted the social sciences and policy analysis in the United States since World War II. Joy's first book\, Armed with Expertise: The Militarization of American Social Research during the Cold War (Cornell University Press\, 2013)\, investigates the Cold War origins and contemporary consequences of the Pentagon&rsquo\;s social research contracting system. At Michigan\, Joy is a member of the core faculty in the Science\, Technology\, and Society Program. She also holds a courtesy appointment in the Department of History. Prior to joining the Ford School\, Joy was an assistant professor of history at Trinity University.\n\nSidonie Smith is the Mary Fair Croushore Professor of the Humanities\, and Director of the Institute for the Humanities. Her interests include autobiography studies\, feminist theories\, women’s literature\, human rights and narrative\, and the future of doctoral studies in the humanities.

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.

Choosing Wisely® (www.choosingwisely.org) is a large-scale\, evidence-based campaign to raise awareness of low-value health services that has gained international momentum since being launched in the United States in 2012. However\, simple awareness of evidence is often insufficient to change many clinical decisions without strategies that target factors underlying clinicians’ decisions to order these services. \n\nOne factor that can drive clinicians to order low-value health services is the context in which they typically make such decisions. Even when clinicians know certain services do not improve population-level outcomes\, their decisions to order these services for individual patients are often made quickly in the midst of seeing patients and multi-tasking. These constraints may lead clinicians to rely on heuristics rather than careful deliberation. Further\, clinicians can be influenced by patient requests that stem from beliefs that more health care intervention is superior. \n\nA promising solution to this problem that leverages insights from behavioral economics is to ask clinicians to commit to follow specific Choosing Wisely recommendations before patient encounters when their thinking can be more deliberative\, and then provide point-of-care supports to promote adherence to these commitments during patient encounters. We recently tested this strategy in 6 primary care clinics and found it led to a significant reduction in orders for potentially low-value services\, but may also have increased substitute orders of questionable value. These results highlight not only the great potential of this low-cost\, highly exportable strategy to discourage clinicians from ordering low-value services in a range of health care settings\, but also the potential for unintended consequences of efforts to reduce low-value care.

As climates change and fires become more frequent and intense\, it will be critical to understand what factors determine the resilience of ecosystems to fire. Here\, I will present work from tropical savannas in Africa and South America that tests how fire changes ecosystem carbon storage\, and the role that climate\, nutrients\, and plant traits play in mediating the response of savannas to fire. By sampling fire manipulation experiments that have been ongoing for half a century\, I found that fire depleted carbon and nutrient pools in soils and vegetation\, but that the degree of the effect and the regulating mechanisms depended on climate. The fire-driven nutrient losses filtered the plant community towards more nutrient conservative slow-growing species\, suggesting nutrient limitation may limit the recovery of vegetation. Along similar lines\, particular plant traits regulated whether species could avoid mortality during fire and were significant determinants of carbon losses at the landscape scale. These results raise new questions about how nutrient losses may limit carbon sequestration\, and whether the distribution of plant functional traits can be used to predict resilience across different ecosystems\, which I will discuss in the context of my current and future work.

I will discuss the role of SNIa in a new local measurement of the Hubble Constant by the SH0ES team that is in tension with measurements of the Hubble Constant from analysis of the Cosmic Microwave Background. I will discuss ongoing analyses from PanSTARRS and The Dark Energy Survey to provide state-of-the-art constraints on dark energy with SNIa.

Finally I will look ahead to the next generation of surveys including LSST and WFIRST and discuss critical questions about systematics of current analyses that must be solved for these future surveys to be successful.

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.

A conjecture of Kottwitz (as generalized by Rapoport and Viehmann) asserts that this relationship appears in a precise way in the cohomology of \"local Shimura varieties\"\, which were shown to exist by Scholze. We don't know how Galois acts on this cohomology yet\, but we can verify much of the rest of the conjecture\, in a large degree of generality\, using a Lefschetz-Verdier fixed point formula. This is joint work with Tasho Kaletha.

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

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:44929-10012282@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:20161011T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161011T163000 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.

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:30043-3321494@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:20161011T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161011T170000 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.

Since Robert Kelley coined the terms in the early 1970s at the University of California at Santa Barbara\, public history programs have been created all over the United States. Its success now goes well beyond North America as proved by the existence of an international federation\, international conferences\, international projects\, and the newly created Italian Federation for Public History. In his talk\, Professor Cauvin will question the successes and the limits of an international public history\, the transformation of the original model\, and the future of public history training in universities.\n\nThomas Cauvin is an assistant professor of history at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Born in France\, he received his PhD at the European University Institute (Italy) and has taught in France\, Ireland\, Italy\, and the United States. His research focuses on memory and museums\, Irish history\, and Louisiana's French-speaking heritage. Cauvin is a board member of the International Federation for Public History and has written the first single-authored textbook on public history: Public History: A Textbook of Practice.\n\nFree and open to the public. Lunch provided. \n\nThis event is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

Employing a dataset drawn from historical narratives published in 2\,215 county and city annals\, we can trace the temporal and geographic spread of a mass insurgency\, its evolution through time\, and the repression through which militarized state structures were rebuilt. The macro-patterns yield observations that conflict with impressions of the period based on accounts from selected large cities\, and reveal previously unsuspected political dynamics. The materials also yield grounded estimates of the numbers of dead and other victims and permits us to assess these upheavals from a broader comparative perspective.\n\nAndrew Walder is Professor of Sociology at Stanford University\, and the author of \"Fractured Rebellion: The Beijing Red Guard Movement\" (Harvard University Press\, 2009)\, and \"China Under Mao: A Revolution Derailed\" (Harvard\, 2015). This talk is based on a book in progress that will analyze\, from the perspective of historically-oriented political sociology\, the conflicts that destroyed China’s civilian state in 1967 and the repression through which state structures were rebuilt over the following two years.

Transformations in Knowledge and Activism DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Professor Sikkink draws on material from her forthcoming book Making Human Rights Work: Evidence for Hope. Recently there has been a surge of pessimism about the legitimacy and effectiveness of human rights law\, institutions\, and movements. Sikkink argues that transformations in the world generated by human rights ideas and activism have paradoxically clouded our ability to evaluate and measure progress because we now know more and care more about human rights issues than even before. To engage in a more productive debate\, the nature of the critique\, definitions of terms\, and methods being used to measure progress all need to be clarified. Professor Sikkink examines these issues\, and argues that careful issue-by-issue examination of the evidence on human rights progress and decline offers a more complex and hopeful picture than that suggested by the pessimists. \n\nKathryn Sikkink is the Ryan Family Professor of Human Rights Policy at the Kennedy School of Government\, and the Carol K. Pforzheimer Professor at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Sikkink works on international norms and institutions\, transnational advocacy networks\, the impact of human rights law and policies\, and transitional justice. Her publications include The Justice Cascade: How Human Rights Prosecutions are Changing World Politics (awarded the Robert F. Kennedy Center Book Award\, and the WOLA/Duke University Award)\; Mixed Signals: U.S. Human Rights Policy and Latin America\; Activists Beyond Borders: Advocacy Networks in International Politics (co-authored with Margaret Keck and awarded the Grawemeyer Award for Ideas for Improving World Order\, and the ISA Chadwick Alger Award for Best Book in the area of International Organizations)\; and The Persistent Power of Human Rights: From Commitment to Compliance\, (co-edited with Thomas Risse and Stephen Ropp). She holds an MA and Ph.D. from Columbia University. Sikkink has been a Fulbright Scholar in Argentina and a Guggenheim fellow. She is a member of the American Philosophical Society\, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Council on Foreign Relations\, and a member of the editorial board of the International Studies Quarterly\, International Organization\, and the American Political Science Review.

Despite many advances in addressing reactivity and refining mechanistic understanding\, catalytic enantioselective transformations remain very challenging. The often required harsh reaction conditions\, the use of uncommon ligand systems or bar metal salts have hampered developments in this area. The development of efficient ligands is crucial to success for asymmetric reactions. The presentation will cover enantiotopic functionalizations of C(sp3)-H bonds using Pd(0) complexes. Moreover\, the development of chiral cyclopentadienyls (Cpx) as enabling ligand platform will be presented. Equipped with these Cpx ligands\, a variety of late transition-metals are competent catalysts for enantioselective C-H activations. Several examples illustrate their utility for a streamlined access to functionalized chiral building blocks.\nNicolai Cramer (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) UID:34501-4957111@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/34501 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161011T181707 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161011T161000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161011T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Colloquium Series DESCRIPTION:The uniform spanning tree on Z2 is just one point of a two-parameter family of measures on \"essential spanning forests\" in Z2. These are spanning forests with a positive density of component trees\, each with two ends. These measures first appeared (in disguised form) in work of Carroll/Speyer on the cube recurrence\, and work of Fomin on the loop-erased walk.\n\nWe explain how these measures arise naturally in the study of the graph Laplacian (for planar graphs). We then construct scaling limits of spanning forest processes on multiply connected domains with fixed boundary connections and paths having prescribed homotopy type. The resulting limit objects are singular measured foliations.

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.

A precursor to the Common Core\, the MMC was first implemented on the 8th grade cohort of the 2006-2007 academic year. I study how post-secondary outcomes change when this STEM-focused curricular reform was put in place. I show that there was a marked increase in college attendance\, especially among 4-year colleges\, in treated cohorts. Under the MMC\, community college students took substantially more STEM coursework\, and performed better across all fields\, but these gains are not observed among students at 4-year schools. In fact\, 4 year students perform significantly worse after the MMC\, which I argue is a compositional effect of the policy.

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:44929-10012283@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:20161012T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161012T163000 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:30043-3321495@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:20161012T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161012T170000 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.

The difference in ethnicity of an outreach worker and that of a prospective patient can limit the success of such efforts. Using a field experiment in Nepal\, we investigate the extent of such barriers and if differential incentives can help offset them. We varied the amount of financial incentives provided to health outreach workers by the ethnicity of the client they recruited for a free sugar-level assessment. We also varied the amount the clients received for appearing for the assessment. We find that the barriers due to ethnicity are high. Even a highly differential incentive in the ratio of 5:2\, geared toward encouraging the workers to recruit clients from an ethnic group different than their own\, is insufficient to fully offset the barriers. In sub-group analysis\, we find suggestive evidence that differential incentives to advantaged outreach workers have the potential to improve access for traditionally disadvantaged groups. We also find that the advantaged and disadvantaged health workers face different amounts of barriers to outreach efforts. Financial incentives to the clients had no effect on their decision to appear for the assessment.

Lulling and Soothing in 'Lullay lullay little child’ DESCRIPTION:This paper examines a “Lullay lullay littel child\, why wepëstou so sore?” our earliest witness to what we easily label as a “lullaby.” It seeks to pull apart this quick identification and really put pressure on what the term “lullaby” carries with it\, and what we bring to a poem when we apply this label. It at once uses the categorical type to put pressure on the particular poem and the particular poem to put pressure on the category. The crux of understanding the history of the lullaby lies in the essential concept of soothing. This paper traces the meaning back from our modern sense based on comfort to the medieval idea of truth to propose that the truth-telling capacity of the lullaby in and of itself provided a source of comfort for its audience (or performer).

Multiple explanations have been proposed to understand why such differences exist\, including historical philosophies\, subsistence methods\, social mobility\, social class\, climatic stresses\, and religion. With the growing body of theory and data\, some broader questions are becoming pertinent. What are the foundational dimensions of culture? What are the origins of psychological variation between groups? I propose that a behavioral ecological approach\, particularly the idea of phenotypic plasticity\, can (1) help unite existing explanations\, (2) generate novel predictions\, and (3) ultimately facilitate the creation of an ecological taxonomy of cultures\, from which one might derive a rich set of predictions with respect to psychological variation across human groups. I will focus on relevant work and predictions on the psychological effects of population density\, genetic relatedness\, and pathogen prevalence.

DESCRIPTION:With the restoration of the Juanqin zhai within the Forbidden City\, the scenic illusion paintings commissioned by the emperor Qianlong have received unprecedented attention. The scholarly literature in both Chinese and English on scenic illusion painting has traced a direct line of descent from the Jesuit painter Andrea Pozzo’s painting for ecclesiastical spaces. However\, the discovery of one such scenic illusion painting that had originally hung as a stage backdrop furnishes visual evidence that speaks to the importance of Italian scenic design for the stage in these paintings\, and allows us to see them quite literally in a new perspective. In this lecture\, I address the importance of the training of the Italian painters who came to Beijing\, Gherardini and Castiglione\, in the Bolognese school of polyfocal perspectivalism\, and most crucially\, show how monofocal perspectivalism was understood by Chinese artists and theorists in terms of proportional representation. Perspectivalism is so often made to bear the weight of indexing European contact with Chinese artists\; this material crucially allows us to open the conception of perspectivalism and to reduce the emphasis on monofocal perspective in scholarly thinking regarding the contact of Chinese artists with the west.\n\n*Image: The Juanqinzhai of the Forbidden City\n\nBiography\n\nSophie Volpp is Associate Professor of Chinese and Comparative Literature at the University of California Berkeley.

A distinguishing feature of HFTs is that they trade intraday\, ending the day flat. To shed light on the economics of HFTs\, and in a departure from existing market making theories\, we model a profit maximizer HFT that has access to unlimited leverage intraday but must fund any end-of-day inventory at an exogenously determined cost. We provide a complete solution to the discrete-time control problem using the invariant concave structure of the value function. We find that smooth fit holds on the boundaries\, and hence the value function is continuously differentiable in the inventory level at any time. \nEven though the inventory costs only occur at the end of the day\, they impact intraday price and liquidity dynamics. This gives rise to an intraday endogenous price impact mechanism. As time approaches the end of the trading day\, the sensitivity of prices to inventory levels intensifies\, making price impact stronger and widening bid-ask spreads. Moreover\, imbalance of buy and sell orders may catalyze hikes and drops of prices\, even under fixed supply and demand functions. Empirically\, we show that these predictions are borne out in the U.S. Treasury market\, where bid-ask spreads and price impact tend to rise towards the end of the day. Furthermore\, price movements are negatively correlated with changes in inventory levels as measured by the cumulative net trading volume.\n\n(joint work with Tobias Adrian\, Erik Vogt\, and Hongzhong Zhang) Speaker(s): Agostino Capponi (Columbia University) UID:32001-4474746@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/32001 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1360 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161020T133338 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161012T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161012T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:II Career Event: International Job Searches DESCRIPTION:Want to work abroad after graduation?

However\, defining the precise biological impacts of localized signals that engage with specific protein targets under physiologic conditions has proven to be highly challenging. This abstract presents a unique set of proximity-directed chemical tools that enables powerful interrogation into functional consequences of on-target redox events through precision redox targeting in living systems. With this in vivo-validated redox-targeting toolset\, we identify isozyme-specific “first responders” sufficient to drive phenotypic responses at organismal level. Our unique chemical biology toolset sets the stage for ruling in gain-of-function (or dominant loss-of-function) redox modifications and relating them to phenotype in an unbiased experiment that is not hampered by functional redundancy.\nYimon Aye (Cornell University) UID:31412-4260672@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31412 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161012T181711 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161012T161000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161012T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry DESCRIPTION:The study of the birational group of Fano hypersurfaces was undertaken by Fano in dimension three\, and has lead to the proof\, by Iskovskikh and Manin\, that smooth quartic threefolds are not rational.\nTheir work eventually led to the notion of birational rigidity. In this talk I will overview the problem. I will start from Segre and Manin's theorem on cubic surfaces over nonclosed fields\, and explain how similar ideas can be used to establish birational rigidity in higher dimensions.

In this talk\, we consider the case of dimension two\, for which a continuum limit (due to Migdal-Witten) is known and exactly solvable. We discuss two mysterious occurrences of stochastic analysis in this setting: (1) the appearance of GUE integrals arising from heat kernel asymptotics and complex-analytic integrals\; (2) an adaptation of stochastic calculus to \"Gaussian\" free fields that have indefinite covariance matrix. These results fall under the author's program of investigating the relationship between lattice and continuum quantum gauge theories.\n Speaker(s): Timothy Nguyen (Michigan State University) UID:32860-4629453@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/32860 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 2866 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161007T093738 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161012T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161012T190000 SUMMARY:Other:National Coming Out Week DESCRIPTION:Please join us to one or more events taking place during this year's National Coming Out Week.

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:44929-10012284@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:20161013T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161013T163000 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.

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:30043-3321496@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:20161013T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161013T170000 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.

The key elements to build this system include internationalizing RMB\, building an international financial center\, and making Chinese capital market one of the most important global asset allocation destinations. Focusing on the capital market\, there is still a huge gap between China’s ideal capital market and the current market. To bridge this gap\, the Chinese government needs to reconfigure the reform\, open up the stock and bond market\, and change the regulations and related laws.\n\nProfessor WU Xiaoqiu is a renowned economist and financial securities expert in China.

Ozu's consciousness of form extends beyond camera level and the construction of space recognized by prior authors to the signifying power of the intertitle as a form of “visual speech.” In the presentation\, Raine will provide an historical context for Ozu’s engagement with the intertitle and then survey his changing usage\, in particular in the late silent films from Woman of Tokyo (Tokyo no onna\, 1933) to College is a Nice Place (Daigaku yoi toko\, 1936\, lost). He argues that we can tease out a succession of aesthetic projects in these films: first\, an exploration of the properties of intertitle syntax and frequency in the films of 1933 and then a heretofore unrecognized exploitation of the “sound version” (films with music and sometimes sound effects and speech\, but no synchronized dialog) to silence the bathos of benshi narration and create subtle\, synaesthetic effects that we might liken to visual repartee. \n \nMichael Raine is an Assistant Professor at the film studies department of Western University\, Canada. He received his Ph.D. in film studies from the University of Iowa and has taught Japanese Cinema and World Cinema at Yale University and the University of Chicago. He has published on a wide range of topics in Japanese cinema and has subtitled approximately 60 films for classes\, commercial release\, and the Udine film festival. His research interests lie in the transition to sound in Japanese cinema\, wartime image culture\, and the Japanese new wave.

Previous research has largely focused on how personality characteristics affect cultural adaptation in the host country. In this project we extend previous research by measuring the influence of the social context\, specifically the heterogeneity of the host country’s inhabitants. We predicted that individuals would have an easier time adapting to historically more heterogeneous contexts. In Studies 1 and 2\, we used publicly available data to test whether heterogeneity influences cultural adaptation of International Business Students and Peace Corps volunteers. In Study 2\, we experimentally manipulated heterogeneity and tested whether individuals anticipated adapting more in hypothetical work assignments that were in historically heterogeneous locations. Across both studies we found support for our hypothesis that greater historical heterogeneity is associated with higher levels of cultural adaptation. Implications for acculturation and immigration will be discussed.

His research focuses on Greek social and economic history\, with much of it treating activities and social classes peripheral to the polis and an ancient ideological focus on the citizen farmer. These interests include ancient fishing\, fishermen and\, more generally\, the sea. Such fluid subjects are not easily demarcated\, and while his research pays careful attention to epigraphic or literary texts it also tends to be wide-ranging and interdisciplinary\, incorporating interests that include\, for example\, ecology\, ethnography\, anthropology\, the history of technology\, and the longue durée. \n\nHe has published articles that treat historical questions related to various Greek epigraphic documents--the Kean ruddle decrees\, the temple accounts from Hellenistic Delos\, a Boeotian price decree\, an Ephesian building account\, a letter of Hadrian to Athens--as well as long-form articles that tackle problems ranging from the legal status of the sea and its fisheries in the ancient Mediterranean to the role of regional social and religious contexts in Oppian's Halieutica. His first book\, forthcoming at Cambridge University Press\, treats the social and economic importance of the tuna and its large-scale capture in Ancient Greece.

In this regard\, conjugated polymers and polyelectrolytes are both being explored for charge transport and ion transport applications. In this talk\, some synthetic methods to build well-defined polymeric materials will be discussed. For conjugated polymers\, Catalyst-Transfer Polycondensation (CTP) is typically employed to prepare materials with controlled molecular weights and relatively low dispersities. While Kumada cross-coupling is normally employed for these polymerization reactions\, Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling has tremendous potential to improve functional group tolerance and monomer scope. Our efforts to use nickel catalysts with Suzuki-Miyaura coupling for conjugated polymer synthesis will be discussed. Additionally\, some work on using Reversible-Deactivation Radical Polymerization (RDRP) to build phosphonium-based polyelectrolytes will be presented. \nKevin Noonan (Carnegie Mellon University) UID:30593-3599392@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30593 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161010T141520 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161013T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161013T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nElderly workers in developing countries face certain frictions\, such as credit constraints\, in their retirement decisions that may not be as common among their counterparts in the developed world\, and these concerns may lead workers to work more or less than their preferred number of years. In this study\, I firstly use regression discontinuity methods to show that a large fraction of urban male heads of households in Brazil (roughly 45%) react contemporaneously to pension eligibility by retiring. Because retirement is not required to receive the pension\, workers should not react contemporaneously unless optimization frictions\, such as credit constraints\, are at work. Secondly\, I show that those in demographic groups more likely to be credit constrained are more reactive to pension eligibility. Thirdly\, I develop a model of retirement decisions that explores how pensions in the face of credit constraints can influence such decisions\, and I use this model to determine how the excessive generosity of pensions can explain the observed behavior over and above the simple credit constraint story. The model I develop allows me to estimate the welfare consequences of both the credit constraints and the generosity of the pension system.

Multiple interacting environmental controls on respiration complicate its ability to be modeled and scaled\, and the direct and indirect environmental effects of climate change on this process further alters how plants cycle and store carbon over short and long time scales. Resolving major uncertainties – including the short-term temperature response and light inhibition of respiration – will greatly improve estimates of ecosystem carbon cycling\, especially in regions experiencing rapid environmental change\, as in the arctic tundra. Extensive field measurements made in intact ecosystems around the world reveal convergence of respiration responses to climate\, short-term change in temperature\, and leaf traits across diverse species representing different plant functional types. However\, evidence from experimentally altered boreal\, temperate\, and arctic ecosystems suggests potential adaptive differences among species under future climate change. When integrated into terrestrial biosphere models\, these results could provide more accurate estimates of current and projected carbon fluxes across the globe.\n\nWatch YouTube video: https://youtu.be/L4BBYq2VTEU UID:34081-4846717@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/34081 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Environment,Lecture,Research LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161013T081238 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161013T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161013T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:International Institute Career Pathways DESCRIPTION:As part of the International Career Pathways series\, the International Institute is hosting a panel of speakers to discuss how they used their language skills in their career path.

Kojima\, Mizushima\, and Tan give a definition of a circle packing on surfaces with complex projective structures. Unlike in the metric case\, there is a deformation space of complex projective circle packings with combinatorics given by $\tau$. They conjecture that this space is homeomorphic to Teichm\\"{u}ller space. I'll present progress towards this conjecture for certain classes of triangulations.
