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. 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:30043-3321496@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.

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.

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:44929-10012285@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:20161004T113143 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161014T091000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161014T110000 SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: \"Mood Dysregulation Assessment in Young Children According to Research Domain Criter\" DESCRIPTION:Committee Members:\nNestor Lopez-Duran\, Co-Chair\nMaria Muzik\, Co-Chair\nSheryl Olson\nAshley Gearhardt\nKatherine Rosenblum UID:34579-4964896@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/34579 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Psychology LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - East Conference Room - 4th floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161003T155944 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161014T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161014T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Microeconomics/IO DESCRIPTION:Abstract and paper not yet available.

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.

In the early twentieth century\, securities underwriters commonly held directorships with American corporations\; this was especially true for railroads\, the largest enterprises of the era. Section 10 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914 prohibited investment bankers from serving on the boards of railroads for which they underwrote securities\, in order to eliminate the bankers' conflicts of interest. Using the volume of underwriting done by bankers on their boards to capture the extent to which railroads were affected by the regulation\, we find that following the implementation of Section 10 in 1921\, railroads that had maintained close affiliations with underwriters saw declines in their valuations\, investment rates and leverage ratios\, and increases in their costs of external funds. We perform falsification tests using data for industrials and utilities\, which were not subject ​to the prohibitions of Section 10\, and find no differential effect of relationships with underwriters on these firms following 1921. Our results are consistent with underwriters on corporate boards acting as delegated monitors. Our findings also highlight the potential for regulations intended to address conflicts of interest to disrupt valuable information flows.​ UID:34968-5054729@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/34968 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Business,Economics,seminar LOCATION:Ross School of Business - R1230 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160915T082730 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161014T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161014T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Prison Creative Arts Project Traveling Exhibit DESCRIPTION:PCAP's traveling exhibition includes reproductions of artwork from 20 years of the Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners.

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:30043-3321497@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:20161014T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161014T170000 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.

Has Cambodia also shaped the practice of clinical trials? If so\, how\, and to what effect? I take up this question of how contexts shape scientific practices by exploring Cambodia’s first experimental trial\, the Cambodia Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis trial. The trial was designed to test the safety and efficacy of tenofovir as a prevention for HIV infection\, and was cancelled in 2004. Debates about ethics of the trial invoked international bioethics guidelines\, as well as historical relations of vulnerability and responsibility between foreigners and Cambodians\, and between Cambodian leaders and Cambodian subjects. These debates shifted the object of concern in classical bioethics\, from the experimental human subject to the relation between subjects and researchers. This case illuminates how a postcolonial field of articulation in Cambodia reformulates classical bioethics.

A rigorous assessment of all FDA-approved NMEs reveals that NPs and their derivatives represent over 50% of currently marketed drugs. However\, their representation has diminished over the past two decades\, in part because of technical hurdles associated with screening of natural products in high-throughput assays against molecular targets\, and the reoccurrence of previously reported metabolites in follow-up processes. Here\, I present innovative\, state-of-the-art strategies for discovery of NMEs and describe the recent technical advances that have significantly reduced the barriers to discovery of NMEs. I will also assess the use of new genomic-based approaches to augment traditional strategies for studying NPs using a case study from my research in antimicrobial drug discovery.

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.

As shown in (1)\, the sentence permits more than one verb in a mono-clause without any markers of subordination or coordination. The pivot noun phrase NP 2 ta ‘he’ is regarded as both the theme of V 1 rang ‘let’ and the agent of VP 2 zuo baogao ‘make a report’. This phenomenon violates the bi-uniqueness requirement from the theta criterion\, causing the argument sharing problem.\n(1) NP 1 V 1 NP 2 VP 2\na.

However\, the formulation of PRO has theoretical limitations\, and it faces more challenges in analyzing Chinese in which the finiteness and non-finiteness distinction remains disputable. Although the Movement Theory of Control eliminates some limitations of the control theory\, it does not solve the argument sharing problem because the theta criterion is disregarded. This paper aims at providing a derivational account of the argument sharing problem in PCs.

The intricate dynamics of these two-phase flows is governed by momentum transfer between the continuous fluid phase and the dispersed particulate phase. When significant temperature differences exist between the fluid and particles and/or chemical reactions take place at the fluid/particle interfaces\, the phases also exchange heat and/or mass\, respectively. While some multi-phase processes may be successfully modeled at the continuum scale through closure approximations\, an increasing number of applications require resolution across scales\, e.g. dense suspensions\, fluidized beds. Within a multi-scale micro/meso/macro-framework\, we develop robust numerical models at the micro and meso scales\, based on a Distributed Lagrange Multiplier/Fictitious Domain method and a two-way Euler/Lagrange method\, respectively. Collisions between finite size particles are modeled with a Discrete Element Method. Many real-life processes and/or flows involve non-spherical particles. Although there is still a lot to learn about flows laden with spherical particles\, there is also a strong incentive to develop new modeling tools to account for non-spherical\, angular\, convex or even non-convex particles. We discuss assorted issues related to the numerical modeling of flows laden with particles of arbitrary shape. Along the way\, we also address high performance computing issues related to our massively parallel numerical tools and challenges to efficiently transfer knowledge from small scales to large scales. We illustrate the modeling capabilities of our tools on the two following problems relevant of applications from the chemical engineering and process industry: (i) a rotating drum filled with non-convex particles and (ii) fixed and fluidized beds of multilobic (and hence non-convex) particles.

We introduce N copies of the Standard Model with varying values of the Higgs mass parameter. This generically yields a sector whose weak scale is parametrically removed from the cutoff by a factor of 1/√{N}. Ensuring that reheating deposits a majority of the total energy density into this lightest sector requires a modification of the standard cosmological history\, providing a powerful probe of the mechanism. Current and near-future experiments will explore much of the natural parameter space. Furthermore\, supersymmetric completions which preserve grand unification predict superpartners with mass below mW × Mpl / MGUT 〜 10 TeV.

Thus\, the question of the representation of spoken English\, transmitted via the oral-aural modality\, in the visuo-spatial modality of ASL\, and vice versa\, poses a problem for their linguistic analysis. The focus of this abstract is one of these outcomes\, ‘fingerspelling’\, in which signers represent English words by spelling them via the manual alphabet\, in the congenitally d/Deaf community\, and its implications for theories of lexical borrowing.

In Antarctica\, ice-free geologic exposures are particularly difficult to access and study despite their importance for understanding polar processes\, climate variability\, and Antarctic geologic history. Satellite observations of the Antarctic\, however\, require revised calibration and atmospheric removal techniques in order to compare these orbital data to data measured in the field or laboratories. Since these methodologies were developed\, they have helped to revolutionize our understanding of the Antarctic. Properties and processes ranging from magma differentiation to the distribution of algal communities can be investigated remotely in the Antarctic. One such process\, the chemical alteration of rock surfaces under cold and dry environmental conditions\, can be directly related to processes occurring on the surface of Mars. Our ongoing Mars research incorporates data collected by the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover to determine the similarities between weathering process on Earth and on Mars.

The accumulation of a large body of knowledge over the last 50 years has paved the way to understanding the biology of the cell in amazing detail. While many molecules have been discovered\, their effects mapped by genetics and mutational analysis\, and in some cases their three dimensional structures solved with x-ray crystallography and EM\, we still do not fully understand the physical basis of many cellular events. I believe that by watching the functional behavior of these large meso-scale complexes in living cells—the native states of the enzymes—we will more clearly understand their complexity\, regulation\, and mechanisms.

The star\, now in his mid-60s\, has become synonymous with larger than life characterizations in big budget films shot all over the world with elaborate music\, costumes\, and action sequences. The documentary explores how the star and every detail of his life become integral to the identities of the fans themselves as well as those around them. The visual ethic of fandom and star mimicry reveal a form of star worship that is unique to Indian cinema culture. The lives of fans and their families open us to themes of brotherhood\, aspiration\, political affiliation\, or even just means of being noticed. From bankruptcies to reformations from lives of crime\, the lives of the fans offer stories that range from the heroic to the horrific\, all in a day's work of turning a film star into a deity.\n\n\"For the Love of a Man\" an independent\, self-funded documentary\, and the first Tamil-language film to screen at the Venice Film Festival\, where it was nominated for the \"Venice Classics Award for Best Documentary on Cinema\" in the 2015.\n\nTrailer available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPuPmqsgwBc\n\nJoyojeet Pal is an assistant professor at the School of Information. His research is on technology and global development\, particularly issues of how technology is represented\, and its impact on individual and collective aspiration. He works on digital accessibility and social inclusion for people with disabilities in low- and middle-income countries\, specifically the role of mobile devices in workplace and social access for people with visual impairments. In addition\, he studies the use of social media in political outreach and brand building in the Global South\, particularly India. His interest in mainstream media and social movements in India led to the researching and production of \"For the Love of a Man\" an independent\, self-funded documentary on the religious\, political\, and economic origins of cinema fandom in India. It was nominated for the \"Venice Classics Award for Best Documentary on Cinema\" in the 2015 Venice Film Festival\, where the film premiered.\n\nDr. Swarnavel Eswaran Pillai is an assistant professor in the English\, and Media and Information Departments at Michigan State University.

Inspired by a poem written by Paul Laurence Dunbar\, this moving narrative shares their struggle to overcome racism\, disability and discrimination. An important film on African-American deaf culture\, Davis innovatively incorporates silent film techniques (such as title cards and vintage photos) to make the piece accessible to hearing and deaf viewers alike\, and to share the vast possibilities of language and communication.\n\"Her Giveaway\": Carole Lafavor\, member of the Ojibwe tribe\, activist\, mother and registered nurse\, is a person with AIDS. In this candid and moving portrait\, Lafavor relates how she has come to terms with AIDS by combining her traditional beliefs and healing practices with Western medicine. Her \"giveaway\" to the larger AIDS community is more than just basic information\, it is an inspiring example of how we can all learn from the Native American philosophy of illness. \n\n\"Talk to Me\" is a documentary that takes viewers into the lives of children with autism at home and at school\, and profiles the efforts of their parents and teachers to help them achieve their potential. The families we meet are of different racial and socio-economic backgrounds struggling to obtain appropriate services for their children. … Whatever their incomes\, these families struggle to obtain appropriate services for their children\, and the film shows realistically that such resources are not always distributed fairly. Emma's parents have enrolled her in an at-home program\, while Adre's single mother\, who could certainly use such a program\, isn't even aware that they exist.

Examples of active matter include schools of fish\, flocks of birds\, collections of bio-polymers such as microtubules and actin\, and swimming bacteria - the focus of the remainder of the talk. A kinetic theory describing the time-dependent distribution of bacterial swimmers is presented. The model includes hydrodynamic interactions among swimmers mediated through the surrounding low-reynolds-number flow. Through this model\, we ask \"how does confinement of active matter affect its dynamics?\" We consider the dynamics of concentrated regions of active matter and active matter confined to a droplet.

Come alone\, or with a team of up to four. Registration begins on Friday at 5:00 PM. We will also offer free pizza for all participants on Saturday at 6:00 PM.What is a Game Jam?A Game Jam (akin to a musical jam session) is a condensed length of time for developers to get together and create a video game. Game Jams provide a fun\, collaborative environment with many teams participating\, as well as a way for developers to test their own skills and see what they can accomplish in a short amount of time. At the end of the Jam\, teams play each others' creations and vote on their favorite games.There are prizes for the best teams\, but the real experience of a Game Jam is the knowledge gained during your development. The difference is immense between someone who has never completed a game\, and someone who has completed even a small one. Much of the development cycle happens AFTER the game is finished (polishing\, deployment\, marketing\, etc.) and much of the knowledge of game development comes from working on a project with a team\, and seeing it to completion.If any of this sounds interesting\, please come join us this weekend! We will be hosting tutorials in the first few hours of the Jam\, so no prior experience is necessary.

Come alone\, or with a team of up to four. Registration begins on Friday at 5:00 PM. We will also offer free pizza for all participants on Saturday at 6:00 PM.What is a Game Jam?A Game Jam (akin to a musical jam session) is a condensed length of time for developers to get together and create a video game. Game Jams provide a fun\, collaborative environment with many teams participating\, as well as a way for developers to test their own skills and see what they can accomplish in a short amount of time. At the end of the Jam\, teams play each others' creations and vote on their favorite games.There are prizes for the best teams\, but the real experience of a Game Jam is the knowledge gained during your development. The difference is immense between someone who has never completed a game\, and someone who has completed even a small one. Much of the development cycle happens AFTER the game is finished (polishing\, deployment\, marketing\, etc.) and much of the knowledge of game development comes from working on a project with a team\, and seeing it to completion.If any of this sounds interesting\, please come join us this weekend! We will be hosting tutorials in the first few hours of the Jam\, so no prior experience is necessary.

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.

Under the guidance of Detroit photographer and photography instructor Bill Rauhauser\, students turned the urban landscape into works of art.\n\nThis exhibition offers a select sample of a vast collection that includes nearly 1\,250 photographs of Detroit\, from churches to construction sites\, grocery stores to warehouses\, hospitals to schools\, and many others. The collection also provides a snapshot of visual symbols of Detroit during 20th century\, including the Michigan Central Train Station\, the J. L. Hudson’s Department Store on Woodward Avenue\, construction of the Renaissance Center and Joe Louis Arena\, and the abandonment of Poletown and the Warehouse District. Photographs also document everyday Detroit\, such as favorite restaurants (Jacoby’s\, Astoria Bakery\, Pegasus Taverna\, Circa 1890 Saloon\, and Sweetwater Tavern)\, families on Belle Isle\, and vendors at Eastern Market.\n\nYou can search the entire Documenting Detroit collection and develop your own primary source sets by visiting: http://detroiths.pastperfect-online.comand search for “Documenting Detroit.” The current exhibit is available during regular Detroit Center hours\, now through November 30\, 2016.

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:44929-10012286@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:20161015T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161015T163000 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.

They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

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:30043-3321498@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:20161016T120125 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161015T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161015T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:MCRHL Preseason Event DESCRIPTION:The Preseason event of the MCRHL\, giving teams exhibition games before the regular season begins to help prepare.

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.

David Fricke of Rolling Stone describes them as \"a quartet with a rich line in acoustic textures and chamber-rock dynamics.\" The band’s sound\, with classical strings\, tight vocal arrangements\, bluegrass and rock instrumentation\, and smart lyricism\, is the product of complete collaboration among the four close friends. The group has no frontman\; instead\, lead vocals are traded from moment to moment\, and each song features a new combination of instruments and textures\, pulling heavily from folk\, retro-pop\, barbershop\, and chamber music. The music Darlingside plays is serious\, cinematic\, and deeply moving. Darlingside has been featured on NPR's World Cafe and in Paste magazine\, and they were a breakout act at the 2016 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

Come alone\, or with a team of up to four. Registration begins on Friday at 5:00 PM. We will also offer free pizza for all participants on Saturday at 6:00 PM.What is a Game Jam?A Game Jam (akin to a musical jam session) is a condensed length of time for developers to get together and create a video game. Game Jams provide a fun\, collaborative environment with many teams participating\, as well as a way for developers to test their own skills and see what they can accomplish in a short amount of time. At the end of the Jam\, teams play each others' creations and vote on their favorite games.There are prizes for the best teams\, but the real experience of a Game Jam is the knowledge gained during your development. The difference is immense between someone who has never completed a game\, and someone who has completed even a small one. Much of the development cycle happens AFTER the game is finished (polishing\, deployment\, marketing\, etc.) and much of the knowledge of game development comes from working on a project with a team\, and seeing it to completion.If any of this sounds interesting\, please come join us this weekend! We will be hosting tutorials in the first few hours of the Jam\, so no prior experience is necessary. Whether you are a programmer\, artist\, musician\, designer\, or just someone who wants to learn how to make games\, we look forward to seeing you there!  UID:35043-5101963@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/35043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Design Lab 3, 3rd Floor Duderstadt Center CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161030T120021 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161016T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161016T235959 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Involvement Drop-Ins DESCRIPTION:Looking to get involved at the University of Michigan?

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.

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

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012287@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:20161016T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161016T163000 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.

They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

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:30043-3321499@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:20161016T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161016T170000 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.

David Fricke of Rolling Stone describes them as \"a quartet with a rich line in acoustic textures and chamber-rock dynamics.\" The band’s sound\, with classical strings\, tight vocal arrangements\, bluegrass and rock instrumentation\, and smart lyricism\, is the product of complete collaboration among the four close friends. The group has no frontman\; instead\, lead vocals are traded from moment to moment\, and each song features a new combination of instruments and textures\, pulling heavily from folk\, retro-pop\, barbershop\, and chamber music. The music Darlingside plays is serious\, cinematic\, and deeply moving. Darlingside has been featured on NPR's World Cafe and in Paste magazine\, and they were a breakout act at the 2016 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

Come alone\, or with a team of up to four. Registration begins on Friday at 5:00 PM. We will also offer free pizza for all participants on Saturday at 6:00 PM.What is a Game Jam?A Game Jam (akin to a musical jam session) is a condensed length of time for developers to get together and create a video game. Game Jams provide a fun\, collaborative environment with many teams participating\, as well as a way for developers to test their own skills and see what they can accomplish in a short amount of time. At the end of the Jam\, teams play each others' creations and vote on their favorite games.There are prizes for the best teams\, but the real experience of a Game Jam is the knowledge gained during your development. The difference is immense between someone who has never completed a game\, and someone who has completed even a small one. Much of the development cycle happens AFTER the game is finished (polishing\, deployment\, marketing\, etc.) and much of the knowledge of game development comes from working on a project with a team\, and seeing it to completion.If any of this sounds interesting\, please come join us this weekend! We will be hosting tutorials in the first few hours of the Jam\, so no prior experience is necessary. Whether you are a programmer\, artist\, musician\, designer\, or just someone who wants to learn how to make games\, we look forward to seeing you there!  UID:35043-5101964@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/35043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Design Lab 3, 3rd Floor Duderstadt Center CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160711T095059 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161017T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161017T235900 SUMMARY:Other:Fall Study Break DESCRIPTION:Fall 2016 study break UID:31292-4178853@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31292 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161030T120021 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161017T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161017T235959 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Involvement Drop-Ins DESCRIPTION:Looking to get involved at the University of Michigan?

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

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

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012288@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:20160907T125122 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161017T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161017T130000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Film Comedy DESCRIPTION:We’ll look at the content\, techniques and variety of twentieth-century American film comedy by examining some of its key moments.

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.

They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

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:30043-3321500@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:20160909T063032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161017T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161017T123000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Immersion Group Debrief Session DESCRIPTION:Immersion Group Debrief Sessions are for our students that attended an Immersion on the previous Friday.

In many practical applications of statistics\, the vast majority of time is spent preparing the data for eventual analysis. However\, this also where many practitioners who use R often have relatively little training. In recent years\, a variety of packages have become available to make data wrangling\, summarizing\, generation and other common operations more straightforward\, and easier to read for future use (e.g. via piping and clearer syntax). In addition\, some newer visualization packages work these approaches\, allowing one to go quite seamlessly from raw data to interactive graphics. This workshop will introduce participants to a handful of tools that can make their data exploration and analytical flow more streamlined and reproducible.

Brit will be joined in conversation by Chris McCormick\, the author of Desert Boys.\n\nSet within a contemporary black community in Southern California\, Brit Bennett’s mesmerizing first novel is an emotionally perceptive story about community\, love\, and ambition. It begins with a secret. “All good secrets have a taste before you tell them\, and if we’d taken a moment to swish this one around our mouths\, we might have noticed the sourness of an unripe secret\, plucked too soon\, stolen and passed around before its season.”\n\nIt is the last season of high school life for Nadia Turner\, a rebellious\, grief-stricken\, seventeen-year-old beauty. Mourning her own mother’s recent suicide\, she takes up with the local pastor’s son. Luke Sheppard is twenty-one\, a former football star whose injury has reduced him to waiting tables at a diner. They are young\; it’s not serious. But the pregnancy that results from this teen romance—and the subsequent cover-up—will have an impact that goes far beyond their youth. As Nadia hides her secret from everyone\, including Aubrey\, her God-fearing best friend\, the years move quickly. Soon\, Nadia\, Luke\, and Aubrey are full-fledged adults and still living in debt to the choices they made that one seaside summer\, caught in a love triangle they must carefully maneuver\, and dogged by the constant\, nagging question: What if they had chosen differently? The possibilities of the road not taken are a relentless haunt.\n\nIn entrancing\, lyrical prose\, The Mothers asks whether a “what if” can be more powerful than an experience itself. If\, as time passes\, we must always live in servitude to the decisions of our younger selves\, to the communities that have parented us\, and to the decisions we make that shape our lives forever.

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:44929-10012289@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:20161018T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161018T163000 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.

They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

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:30043-3321501@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:20161012T112259 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161018T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161018T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Health\, History\, Demography & Development (H2D2) DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nPatients often rely on personal interactions with health care providers to form and update their beliefs about quality. In this study\, we examine the role played by initial patient-provider interactions in determining the demand for elective surgery\, a setting in which patients and providers interact in two well-defined phases: initial diagnosis and\, if appropriate\, surgery. We implemented an experiment in a low-cost cataract surgery clinic in Mexico City\, in which we randomized the price of a “premium” diagnostic consultation meant to increase perceptions of clinic quality by improving the consumer experience. Demand for the premium consultation is downward sloping and highly nonlinear. Using the price randomization to instrument for premium consultation take-up\, we find that improving the quality of the initial patient-provider interaction dramatically increases the probability of surgery take-up (which is two orders of magnitude more expensive than the diagnostic session) for those with positive diagnoses. The large price elasticity of demand for the premium consultation suggests that investing in improving the quality of initial interactions can substantially increase the subsequent demand for health care.

In combination with the advanced materials synthesis technique to tailor novel low-dimensional electronic systems\, new doors are open toward design and realization of nanophotonic devices with novel functionalities. Here I will present two areas that have been pursued in my research group. The first concerns optical coherent control of semiconductor quantum dots as quantum light sources for quantum information applications[1-4]. In particular\, I will discuss resonant excitation of quantum emitters in a cavity which enables observation of key signatures of resonant fluorescence such as Mollow triplets and Rabi oscillations in second order photon correlations. The second topic deals with recent exciting development in metal based plasmonic platform which enables the realization of plasmonic nanolasers that break the diffraction limit[5-7]. I will discuss the first CW operation of plasmonic nanolaser with ultra-low thresholds and show that the underlying mechanism is spasing. Future perspectives of an all plasmonic photonic circuits will also be discussed. \n\n1. Htoon\, H.\, et al.\, Interplay of Rabi oscillations and quantum interference in semiconductor quantum dots.

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.

In this project\, we investigate the factors that affect students’ loan repayment choices. We test how the framing of the two key features that distinguish income-driven schemes – protection from unaffordable loan payments in periods of low earnings versus potentially higher costs over the life of the loan – affects empirical measures of adverse selection. In a survey of University of Maryland undergraduates\, we elicit students’ expectations of future labor market outcomes and preferences for income-driven repayment by presenting students with scenarios in which both the percentage of income that payments represent and the framing of the alternative plan are randomly assigned. Consistent with adverse selection\, students who expect to have better labor market outcomes are less likely to prefer IDR. We also find a strong relationship between the framing of IDR and students preferences\, with students significantly more likely to report preferring IDR when the insurance aspect of the plan is emphasized and less likely to prefer IDR when the length of repayment and total interest paid are highlighted.

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:44929-10012290@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:20160922T122934 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161019T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161019T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Urban Entrepreneurship Symposium DESCRIPTION:The Urban Entrepreneurship Symposium convenes entrepreneurs and thought leaders in business\, academia\, community organizations\, and government to facilitate business innovation that improves the quality of life in urban communities. The first Urban Entrepreneurship Symposium (UES2014) was held at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. The 2015 edition (UES2015) took place at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit\, Michigan. In 2016\, the location and focus of the symposium will be the city of Flint\, Michigan. Why Flint? Because Flint’s ongoing water crisis is but a symptom of the ills threatening many urban communities. UES2016 will focus the best minds in the city\, region\, and country on applying entrepreneurial innovation to revitalize Flint and similar communities.\n\nThis year’s symposium will focus on entrepreneurial ACTION to address issues such as Flint’s water crisis\, urban unemployment\, and more.\n\nUES 2016 Mission\n• Focus the entrepreneur community on solving urban problems via for-profit businesses.\n• Forge productive connections between entrepreneurs\, investors\, students\, faculty\, and urbancommunities.\n• Identify important urban problems that can benefit from for-profit business innovation.\n• Identify new business models that can result in repeatable\, scalable businesses that address key urban problems.\n• Identify and recognize existing businesses that are applying innovative business models to solve important urban problems.\n• Share best practices in community engagement\, problem identification\, human-centered design\, business model creation and validation\, finance and support systems\, and other key areas.\n\nSave the date!\n\nMore information will be provided in the coming weeks.\n\nFor more information about the Urban Entrepreneurship Initiative and the Urban EntrepreneurshipSymposium\, see urbanei.org.\n\nSee UES2015 Detroit video trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO0yiwriFM0&feature=youtu.be\n\nTo register and buy tickets\, visit: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/urban-entrepreneurship-symposium-2016-urban-revival-tickets-27123894298 UID:34072-4846709@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/34072 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Entrepreneurship,Flint,Innovate Blue,Urban Entrepreneurship LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160915T082349 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161019T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161019T163000 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.

They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G.

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:30043-3321502@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:20161005T142852 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161019T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161019T133000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Bending Not Breaking: Crimean Tatar Resilience in Ukraine and Russian-occupied Crimea DESCRIPTION:Based on ethnographic fieldwork in 2015 and 2016\, this presentation explores the lived experience of Crimean Tatars in Ukraine\, including Russian-occupied Crimea. While Ukraine has passed legislation recognizing the Crimean Tatars as an indigenous people\, the Russian Federation rejects the validity of this status and clings to the minority label. There is a correspondingly sharp difference in the treatment the group has received in territory controlled by Ukraine and Russian Federation. On the Ukrainian side\, a sense of political agency animates discourses of a common civic\, as opposed to ethnic Ukrainian identity. On the Russian side\, forced disappearances\, searches\, detentions\, beatings\, and surveillance suggest the genocidal policies begun by the Russian Empire in the eighteenth century continue. The common denominator under the sharp contrast is that neither government has truly defended the rights of the indigenous people. On both sides\, creativity and resilience developed over three tumultuous centuries is evident among the Crimean Tatar people. \n \nGreta Uehling received her Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from the University of Michigan in 2000. In 2004\, she completed a post-doctoral fellowship with the Solomon Asch Center for the Study of Ethnopolitical Conflict. Her first book\, Beyond Memory (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2004)\, provides the first comprehensive study of the Crimean Tatars’ 1944 deportation\, and explores how memory and history facilitated repatriation to the historic homeland. Uehling is also the author of scholarly articles\, book chapters\, and blogs. Her 2013 fieldwork yielded “Genocide’s Aftermath: Neostalinism in Contemporary Crimea.” Uehling has contributed online articles to Cultural Anthropology\, Anthropology News\, Euromaidan Press\, The Conversation\, Antropoliteia\, Dissident\, and Savage Minds. A number of international organizations\, including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees\, have drawn upon Uehling’s expertise. In 2015\, she was awarded a Fulbright scholar grant. Uehling currently teaches in the Program in International and Comparative Studies and is also a faculty associate of U-M’s Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies. \n \nPart of the Minorities series which will focus on the fates and challenges various minorities face\, from ethnic and racial groups to people with disabilities and members of LGBT communities.

BMS) and infrared physics (eg. Weinberg's soft graviton theorem). One of the more exciting explorations in this vein was Hawking-Perry-Strominger's (HPS) investigation of the consequences of these new symmetries for black hole physics. I will show very concretely that the Ward identity for the BMS-like large U(1) gauge transformations discussed by HPS fixes the low energy black hole absorption rate for photons. Time permitting\, I will discuss broader implications and future extensions.

In recent years\, we have been developing and testing an alternative theoretical framework\, one that incorporates insights from life history theory into an affordance-management approach to social perception. Among other contributions\, this functional framework (1) provides a compelling account for why age and sex are core dimensions upon which stereotypes are built\; (2) introduces the idea of ‘ecology’ stereotypes (i.e.\, stereotypes about people who come from ‘desperate’ versus ‘hopeful’ ecologies)\; (3) emphasizes that the intersections of age\, sex\, and ecology better characterize the content of people’s naturally-existing stereotypes\; (4) predicts that natural stereotypes represent not general trait inclinations (e.g.\, young men are competitive) but rather behavioral inclinations as directed towards particular types of others (e.g.\, young men are competitive against young men)\; (5) suggests that\, at least in the U.S.\, many of the most pernicious race stereotypes are more usefully conceptualized in terms of ecology than of race\, per se\; (6) suggests the importance of differentiating between “base” and “affordance” stereotypes for predicting prejudices and discrimination\; and (7) suggests why certain social stereotypes are simultaneously as accurate as they are and biased in the particular directions they are.

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.

Evidence is emerging that such networks can exhibit rich mechanical phase behavior. A classic example of a mechanical phase transition was identified by Maxwell for macroscopic engineering structures: networks of struts or springs exhibit a continuous\, second-order phase transition at the isostatic point\, where the number of constraints imposed by connectivity just equals the number of mechanical degrees of freedom. We will present recent theoretical predictions and experimental evidence for mechanical phase transitions in in both synthetic and biopolymer networks. Living systems typically operate far from thermodynamic equilibrium\, which affects both their dynamics and mechanical response. As a result of enzymatic activity at the molecular scale\, living systems characteristically violate detailed balance\, a fundamental principle of equilibrium statistical mechanics. We discuss violations of detailed balance at the meso-scale of whole cells.

Automated text analysis methods are able to discover features of text\, but these methods cannot be used to obtain the estimates of causal effects—the quantity of interest for applied researchers. We introduce a new experimental design and statistical model to simultaneously discover treatments in a corpora and estimate causal effects for these discovered treatments. We prove the conditions to identify the treatment effects of texts and introduce the supervised Indian Buffet process to discover those treatments. Our method enables us to discover treatments in a training set using a collection of texts and individuals’ responses to those texts\, and then estimate the effects of these interventions in a test set of new texts and survey respondents. We apply the model to an experiment about candidate biographies\, recovering intuitive features of voters’ decisions and revealing a penalty for lawyers and a bonus for military service.

Starting from dimension 2\, the anti-canonical volume of a Q-Fano variety can be arbitrarily large\, e.g. weighted projective spaces. Recently\, Fujita showed that an n-dimensional Kahler-Einstein Q-Fano variety has volume at most (n+1)^n. In this talk\, I will discuss a refinement of Fujita's volume upper bounds involving invariants of the local singularities. If time permits\, I will also talk about an equivalent relation between K-semistability and de Fernex-Ein-Mustata type inequalities. Part of this work is joint with Chi Li.
