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.

Please email umma-programregistration@umich.edu.\nThis workshop requires a reading fluency of Japanese and a basic knowledge of Kabuki theater and the cultural history of the late Edo period.Exhibition co-curators Natsu Oyobe and Mariko Okada will lead an in-depth exploration of Kabuki prints in conjunction with the UMMA exhibition Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art. This workshop is designed for a general audience. Participants will become familiar with Kabuki prints and theater\, as well as the popular culture and society of the late Edo period.Kabuki prints are filled with information on the popular culture and human experience of the late Edo Period. Kabuki attracted enormous attention and developed a huge following in the late Edo Period—a phenomenon comparable to contemporary movie and television\nstars. The prints’ enormous popularity contributed to advances in print technology\,\nfacilitating an unprecedented speed of production and a sophisticated system of\ndistribution and circulation. This workshop requires a reading fluency of Japanese and a basic knowledge of Kabuki theater and the cultural history of the late Edo period.

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.

They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment.

The growing evidence shows that research teams with raised ambitions to find practical solutions and seek foundational theories simultaneously have a greater chance of achieving both (ABC Principle: Applied & Basic Combined).\n\nThis talk will guide students\, faculty\, business leaders\, and government policy makers on how to produce high-impact research. Teamwork becomes an even more valuable approach since it facilitates the blending of research methods (SED Principle: Blend Science\, Engineering and Design Thinking). It’s time to replace Vannevar Bush’s dated (1945) linear model with new guiding principles to shift the way that governments fund research\, universities train students\, researchers conduct projects (teams\, partnerships)\, and organizations reward/recognize outcomes.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nBen Shneiderman is a Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Computer Science\, Founding Director (1983-2000) of the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory\, and a Member of the UM Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS) at the University of Maryland. He is a Fellow of the AAAS\, ACM\, IEEE\, and NAI\, and a Member of the National Academy of Engineering\, in recognition of his pioneering contributions to human-computer interaction and information visualization. His contributions include the direct manipulation concept\, clickable highlighted web-links\, touchscreen keyboards\, dynamic query sliders for Spotfire\, development of treemaps\, novel network visualizations for NodeXL\, and temporal event sequence analysis for electronic health records.\n\nShneiderman is the co-author with Catherine Plaisant of Designing the User Interface: Strategies for Effective Human-Computer Interaction (6th ed.\, 2016). With Stu Card and Jock Mackinlay\, he co-authored Readings in Information Visualization: Using Vision to Think (1999). His book Leonardo’s Laptop (MIT Press) won the IEEE book award for Distinguished Literary Contribution. He co-authored Analyzing Social Media Networks with NodeXL with Derek Hansen and Marc Smith. Shneiderman’s latest book is The New ABCs of Research: Achieving Breakthrough Collaborations (Oxford\, February 2016).\n\nA light lunch will be provided.

In New York on 28 October\, some of the most powerful countries in the world - both human rights allies and aggressors - will be elected to membership. In this context\, how can we hope to advance accountability - in Syria or Cambodia or Guantanamo\, for disappearances of human rights defenders and for violence against LGBT individuals and communities? Without political support for using both carrots and sticks\, how can we hope for intergovernmental processes like the UPR\, or the recommendations of UN experts\, to be implemented on the ground?\n\nFrom the perspective of an advocacy NGO\, there is a real danger in ending the first decade of the Human Rights Council without reflection. Current trends of political inertia and challenges to universality threaten the interdependence of both international human rights in principle\, and the Council and other UN human rights mechanisms in practice. And yet\, at the same time\, progressive governments\, activists and NGOs see great value in the results of the system\; building broad\, public confidence in those tools is essential. We will discuss a few cases\, both far from home and in Ann Arbor's own backyard\; I challenge you to find at least one thing about the UN\, whatever your interest\, that makes fighting for a better system worth it.\n\nFinally\, as an international community\, how do we get there? Thankfully\, there are some straightforward solutions that don't require rewriting history or international law\; just persistence and political will. We'll conclude with some recommendations for reform and sharing what we have done\, or think we can do\, to make the voices of human rights defenders\, communities\, and victims more present and more protected in the UN system.\n \nSarah Brooks is an advocate and programme manager at the International Service for Human Rights (ISHR)\, based in Geneva.

She received her M.A. in political science from the University of Michigan Rackham School of Graduate Studies in 1942 and in the fall of 1942 began at the University of Michigan Law School. She graduated from the Law School in 1944 and passed the Michigan bar examination. After graduation\, her first job was in the law office of Arthur Davis Shores\, the only Black lawyer in Alabama. Because of the hurdles placed in her way\, she was not able to sit for the Alabama bar examination before she married and moved to Fairmont Height\, Maryland. In 1946\, she became the first African-American woman to pass the Maryland bar and was invited to join the Howard University law faculty becoming the first woman to teach full-time on the law faculty.

However\, it has not been modeled in a phonetically comprehensive manner. The current study aims to present an analysis of VOT in English in terms of a model of phonetic knowledge. Previous research has shown that VOT in English voiceless stops is sensitive to factors such as the height\, tenseness\, and duration of the following vowel\, place of articulation\, the voicing of coda consonants\, and speaking rate. We analyzed 120 /p/- and /k/-initial words produced by 123 Canadian English speakers. VOTs of the initial stops were measured semi-automatically and all other segment durations were measured using forced alignment. The results of a mixed- effects regression support earlier findings that VOT is longer in /k/\, directly related to following vowel duration\, inversely related to speech rate\, longer before tense vowels\, and shorter before voiceless codas. Additionally\, we find that VOT is shorter when the following syllable starts with a voiceless obstruent (the effect is greater for plosives than fricatives)\, and that the most relevant measure of vowel duration includes the duration of postvocalic liquids\, even those that are typically analyzed as onsets. The effect of speech rate was shown to vary across speakers\, while the effects of voiceless coda and following voiceless onset were relatively consistent across speakers.

In the talk I present new convergence results for modern variants of this scheme\, in particular in the multi-phase case with arbitrary surface tensions. The main result establishes convergence towards a weak formulation of (multi-phase) mean curvature flow in the BV-framework of sets of finite perimeter. The proofs are based on the interpretation of the thresholding scheme as a minimizing movements scheme by Esedoglu and Otto. This interpretation means that thresholding preserves the structure of (multi-phase) mean curvature flow as a gradient flow w. r. t. the total interfacial energy. Our proofs are similar in spirit to the convergence result of Luckhaus and Sturzenhecker\, which establishes convergence of the minimizing movements scheme introduced by Almgren\, Taylor and Wang\, and Luckhaus and Sturzenhecker. Like theirs\, also ours is a conditional convergence result\, which means that we assume the time-integrated energies to converge to those of the limit. This is a natural assumption\, which is however not ensured by the compactness coming from the basic estimates. We show that the methods can incorporate external forces and a volume constraint. Furthermore\, I will present a similar result for the vector-valued Allen-Cahn Equation.

I will first review these variables and then show how they may be understood on a mathematical level as a generalization of geometric quantization. Playing a central role here is the Heisenberg group and its commutative subgroups. Our usual notion of classical space can be identified with a particular choice of commutative subgroup corresponding to a classical Lagrangian subspace of phase space\, that is a choice of classical polarization. There are however purely quantum polarizations that correspond to a choice of modular variables. Such quantizations generically involve a dimensional scale in addition to \hbar. In simple quantum systems\, the scale is set contextually\, for example by a slit spacing. A new notion of quantum space(time) emerges if we suppose instead that the scale is fundamental. I will provide substantial evidence that\, contrary to the textbook accounts\, this mechanism is present in ordinary string theory. Thus string theory describes an inherently quantum gravitational theory\, for which the usual string constructions correspond to certain semi-classical limits with a local space-time interpretation\, with string dualities manifest.

This collection of Newton polygons forms a partially ordered set\, and if we refine this construction by restricting to Newton polygons associated to elements in a fixed stratum of the affine Bruhat decomposition\, there is a unique maximum element. The primary goal of this talk will be to provide a closed formula for computing this maximal element in terms of directed paths in the quantum Bruhat graph. Curiously\, combining this result with work of Postnikov shows that our formula for the maximal Newton polygon coincides with that for the minimal monomial in the product of two Schubert classes in the quantum cohomology of the complete complex flag variety.

We formally investigate these arguments in a two-task moral hazard model in which the agent is privately informed about which task is less costly for him. We examine a simple class of incentive schemes that are “opaque” in that they make the agent uncertain ex ante about the incentive coefficients in the linear payment rule. Relative to transparent menus of linear contracts\, these opaque schemes induce more balanced efforts\, but also impose more risk on the agent per unit of aggregate effort induced. We identify settings in which optimally designed opaque schemes not only strictly dominate the best transparent menu but also eliminate the efficiency losses from the agent’s hidden information. Opaque schemes are more likely to be preferred to transparent ones when i) efforts on the tasks are highly complementary for the principal\; ii) the agent’s privately known preference between the tasks is weak\; iii) the agent’s risk aversion is significant\; and iv) the errors in measuring performance have large correlation or small variance.

This revolution is already impacting energy use\, transportation\, and employment. When combined with new materials and associated applications\, there is potential for disruptive changes to metal markets and hence mining and exploration.\n\nThese developments build on existing trends that already affect mining such as population growth\, basic human needs\, emerging economies\, and heightened expectations for quality of life and a clean environment. \nPredicting how these factors will play out in the short to long term is challenging. Potential decline in metal demand would clearly reduce exploration expenditure while rapid increases in metal use\, or supply constraints\, could cause metal-specific exploration booms\, as happened with rare earth elements in 2010-11. Neither support consistent exploration efforts.\n\nMining and exploration have always adapted to fluctuating demand. The first primitive miners responded to early metal use\, and new mines and more sophisticated tools developed over the subsequent 6000 years. The rate of change increased with the industrial revolution\, new bulk mining methods\, and dramatic changes in processing. Exploration responded with explorers going to new places\, with new ideas and technology\, and many excellent discoveries followed. While a spirit of adventure and field skills have remained consistent ingredients for success\, many aspects of modern exploration would be unrecognizable to practitioners operating thirty-five years ago. Change will continue but predicting the end-result in thirty-five years is as difficult as it would have been to predict the present thirty-five years ago. \nGiven current trends in exploration\, the following will be important areas for change.\n\nBusiness and partnerships: The effectiveness of funding strategies and partnerships among exploration-focused juniors and mid-tier or major producers has declined. New business models are needed. National companies and downstream technology companies both need to secure resources\, a need that may offer exploration investment opportunities. Lastly\, gaining community support will require models involving shared benefits and innovative partnerships.\n\nTechnology and tools: New mobile analytical equipment and sensors will generate increasing amounts of field data\, which if used in conjunction with traditional techniques\, will accelerate programs and decision making. Rapid drilling technology from fewer\, smaller drill pads with real-time data will result in more targets being tested for less dollars and less impact.\nData: The data explosion also threatens to hinder effective exploration if not managed appropriately. Intelligent methods for QA-QC\, integration and interrogation will help significantly if geared towards results.\n\nExploration strategy: In spite of new ore deposit models\, we struggle to understand system footprints\, the clusters of deposits they contain\, and the potential for quality discoveries. Brownfields and Greenfields exploration require different applications\, and Greenfields in particular needs renewed impetus that is only likely with new business and funding models.\nIn spite of global change and all its ramifications\, quality discoveries are clearly required. These still create the most value with the least impact. It remains to be seen whether we can harness change to improve our odds of making these discoveries.

For this purpose\, we use a model drug\, Clofazimine (CFZ)\, which is an FDA approved\, weakly basic and poorly soluble drug that has been used worldwide to treat patients with leprosy and tuberculosis diseases\, curing over 14 million people in the last twenty years\, to investigate its bioaccumulation and stabilization properties. During prolonged oral administration\, CFZ accumulates in macrophages of humans and mice as Crystal Like Drug Inclusions (CLDIs)\, which have been chemically characterized to be composed of hydrochloride salts of CFZ (CFZ-HCl) crystals. However\, the mechanism by which the formation and stabilization of these insoluble complexes in cells is not known. Thus\, due to sufficient proton and chloride levels in endolysosomes\, we hypothesize that the drug accumulation and stabilization processes are occurring inside intracellular compartments of likely endolysosomal origin\, in macrophages of humans as well as mice. To test our hypothesis\, we adapt a systems-based mathematical lysosomal ion regulation model which consists of lysosomal membrane proteins\, such as\, the Vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase)\, Cl-/H+ antiporter known as CLC7\, and membrane proton leak in order to investigate the key lysosomal parameters that play essential role in the physiological\, dose-dependent CFZ-HCl crystal bioaccumulation. Furthermore\, we examine the stabilization of the free base (CFZ) versus salt form (CFZ-HCl) of the drug by mathematically fitting an in vitro pH-dependent solubility data of CFZ-HCl crystals obtained at pH ranging between extracellular\, cellular and subcellular pH values\, and determining the solubility properties dictated by the apparent pKa\, intrinsic free base and salt solubility\, pHmax\, and Ksp values. Collectively\, our computational results as well as the CFZ-HCl solubility parameters in relation to the ion contents and pH of the microenvironment suggest that the physiological and preferential accumulation and stabilization mechanisms of CFZ-HCl crystals in macrophages\, more specifically in macrophage lysosomes\, are primarily determined by the lysosomal V-ATPase. \n\nJason Karslake\n\"Population Density Modulates Drug Inhibition and Treatment Outcomes for Bacterial Infections\"\n\nThe inoculum effect (IE) is an increase in the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of an antibiotic as a function of the initial size of a microbial population. The IE has been observed in a wide range of bacteria\, implying that antibiotic efficacy may depend on population density. Such density dependence could have dramatic effects on bacterial population dynamics and potential treatment strategies\, but explicit measures of per capita growth as a function of density are generally not available. Instead\, the IE measures MIC as a function of initial population size\, and population density changes by many orders of magnitude on the timescale of the experiment. Therefore\, the functional relationship between population density and antibiotic inhibition is generally not known\, leaving many questions about the impact of the IE on different treatment strategies unanswered. To address these questions\, here we directly measured real-time per capita growth of Enterococcus faecalis populations exposed to antibiotic at fixed population densities using multiplexed computer-automated culture devices. We show that density-dependent growth inhibition is pervasive for commonly used antibiotics\, with some drugs showing increased inhibition and others decreased inhibition at high densities. For several drugs\, the density dependence is mediated by changes in extracellular pH\, a community-level phenomenon not previously linked with the IE. Using a simple mathematical model\, we demonstrate how this density dependence can modulate population dynamics in constant drug environments. Then\, we illustrate how time-dependent dosing strategies can mitigate the negative effects of density-dependence. Finally\, we show that these density effects lead to bistable treatment outcomes for a wide range of antibiotic concentrations in a pharmacological model of antibiotic treatment. As a result\, infections exceeding a critical density often survive otherwise effective treatments.

In this talk\, we will present our recent subconvexity bound for the central value of the L-function associated to a fixed cuspidal newform f twisted by a Dirichlet character chi of a high prime power conductor. From an adelic viewpoint\, the analogy between this so-called \"depth aspect\" and the familiar t-aspect is particularly natural\, as one is focusing on ramification at one (finite or infinite) place at a time. We prove our results by exhibiting strong cancellation between the Hecke eigenvalues of f and the values of chi\, which act as twists by exponentials with a p-adically analytic phase. Among the tools\, we develop p-adic counterparts to Farey dissection and van der Corput estimates for exponential sums. This is joint work with Valentin Blomer.

In our culture\, viruses\, bacteria and parasites are mistakenly seen as the cause for illness\, when in reality they are the symptoms of a weakened immune system. When we are really healthy\, we can ward off these attacks without a problem. But how often do we aim to get rid of these symptoms with antibiotics\, sulfites etc.\, leaving the cause - a compromised immune system - undisturbed? \n\nAt this time of severe honeybee crisis\, we must ask ourselves not only which agricultural practices and chemicals contribute to the severe colony losses\, but also which beekeeping practices have been developed over the last 150 years that contribute to weakening the immune system of the honeybee. To avoid looking at the beekeeper's part of the problem\, we strive to aim at breeding a 'Super Bee'\, which is able to withstand all the inflictions imposed on her. This is\, to my understanding\, an illusionary goal! It is time\, and of highest importance\, to face the fact that beekeeping practices have become as exploitive and mechanized as the rest of agricultural practices and we beekeepers must also bear our own responsibility for the honeybees' plight. Biodynamic\, sustainable methods in beekeeping and agriculture offer real solutions.

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 city is literally sinking while also experiencing climate change related sea-level rise. Add to that the yearly heavy rainfall the city sees from the Southeast Asian monsoon and a population that has swelled beyond ten million due to rapid urbanization\, and it’s easy to see why Jakarta’s infrastructure is experiencing significant strain.

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:44929-10012307@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:20160930T082359 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161105T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161105T210000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bristle Mammoth Exhibit Opening Weekend DESCRIPTION:Visitors will be able to touch one of the Bristle Mammoth’s bones\, see some of the evidence for human activity at this site (such as removing edible tissues from parts of the carcass)\, and explore how the Bristle Mammoth’s bones\, teeth and tusks will help scientists understand how these animals lived and why they went extinct.\n\nThe Bristle Mammoth will be on display beginning Saturday\, November 5\, 2016.

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.

To understand biology\, physics\, and materials science on the molecular scale\, Professor Biteen has been building super-resolution microscopes that bridge the gap between traditional microscopy and the nanometer scale of molecules. These new methods allow direct visualization of very subtle details—down to just one protein moving inside a living cell! Professor Biteen will discuss how this single-molecule fluorescence imaging can measure properties that have remained inaccessible due to the fundamental limitations of traditional approaches\, with an emphasis on questions important to human health\, for instance\, “How do the bacteria in our guts ensure digestive health?” and \"How is the cholera disease regulated?\" UID:33534-4754856@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33534 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Culture,Free,Graduate,Lecture,Physics,Science,Talk,Undergraduate LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 170 & 182 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160422T140125 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161105T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161105T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Catie Newell: Overnight DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based architect Catie Newell’s work is focused on the tactile\, sensory qualities of the materials we use to build things: their texture\, density\, or malleability. 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.

They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

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.

Sometimes dark and heartbreaking\, but mostly fun and satirical\, they change up their instruments and musical styles with ease. From classic country to swing to garage rock\, Jo’s original material often sounds very familiar\, yet with a fresh\, smart voice. The LaFawndas are Drew Howard (pedal steel\, guitars\, Dobro\, banjo)\, Dave Roof (bass\, guitars\, trumpet\, organ\, backing vocals)\, Laura Ann Bates (piano\, organ\, bass\, backing vocals) and Stuart Tucker (drums and percussion).

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 city is literally sinking while also experiencing climate change related sea-level rise. Add to that the yearly heavy rainfall the city sees from the Southeast Asian monsoon and a population that has swelled beyond ten million due to rapid urbanization\, and it’s easy to see why Jakarta’s infrastructure is experiencing significant strain. Jakarta isn’t an isolated example of this perfect storm. It represents the future difficulty that coastal cities all over the world are likely to face.\n\nUnderstanding that lessons learned in Jakarta can have a global impact\, University of Michigan alumus Frank Sedlar set out to help with flood mitigation in Jakarta. Frank earned his master of science degree from Michigan Engineering and also studied the Indonesian language while at the university. Photojournalist and filmmaker Marcin Szczepanski and writer Ben Logan from Michigan Engineering chronicled Frank’s experience while in Jakarta working on modern solutions to Jakarta’s growing problem.\n\nPlease join us for an opening reception on Friday\, October 21 at 5 PM at the International Institute Gallery.

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:44929-10012308@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:20161106T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161106T163000 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.

They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

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.

Composer and lead guitarist Gonzalo Bergara mixes a cascade of arpeggios with the sounds of Paris and his native Argentina. His first CD\, \"Porteña Soledad\,\" was Editor’s Pick in Guitar Player\, and Vintage Guitar called it a \"masterpiece.\" The Gonzalo Bergara Quartet consists of Gonzalo Bergara on lead guitar\, Jeffrey Radaich on rhythm guitar\, Leah Zeger on violin\, and Brian Netzley on upright bass. The music is heavily influenced by Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club of France\, as well as the traditional jazz and music of Bergara's true home\, Buenos Aires. \"Gonzalo Bergara’s music exists in a way that very little music does\,\" says one writer. \"He has lavished such care on every phrase\, built each arrangement with such lapidary precision and pared away anything extraneous\, the music becomes sculpture. It has weight\, density\, gravity. This is serious ... and deeply moving.

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

Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph\, a graphic design or a painting. She digitally prints variations of the image on fabric and divides the copies into many small squares (no two alike). When she carefully reassembles and sews together the squares\, parts of the image seem to move across and down the surface of the quilt. Ault exhibits nationally at fiber and quilt shows\, such as Quilt National in Athens\, Ohio and Fiberart International in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania.

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

The city is literally sinking while also experiencing climate change related sea-level rise. Add to that the yearly heavy rainfall the city sees from the Southeast Asian monsoon and a population that has swelled beyond ten million due to rapid urbanization\, and it’s easy to see why Jakarta’s infrastructure is experiencing significant strain. Jakarta isn’t an isolated example of this perfect storm. It represents the future difficulty that coastal cities all over the world are likely to face.\n\nUnderstanding that lessons learned in Jakarta can have a global impact\, University of Michigan alumus Frank Sedlar set out to help with flood mitigation in Jakarta. Frank earned his master of science degree from Michigan Engineering and also studied the Indonesian language while at the university. Photojournalist and filmmaker Marcin Szczepanski and writer Ben Logan from Michigan Engineering chronicled Frank’s experience while in Jakarta working on modern solutions to Jakarta’s growing problem.\n\nPlease join us for an opening reception on Friday\, October 21 at 5 PM at the International Institute Gallery.

OX-producing neurons project widely to key areas of the brain and are predominantly involved in the control of wakefulness and also in the regulation of food intake\, reward\, addictive behaviors and stress. The OX neuropeptides mediate their effect by stimulating two distinct G-protein coupled receptors\, orexin-1 (OX1R) and orexin-2 (OX2R) that are co-located or selectively located in specific brain areas suggesting differentiated roles. As such\, orexin receptor antagonists have been pursued by numerous laboratories as potential sleep promoting agents and several groups have demonstrated that blockade of the orexin-1 and orexin-2 receptors by dual OR1R/OR2R antagonists promotes sleep both in rats and in humans. Our research efforts have focused on the discovery of selective OR2R antagonists\, selective OR1R antagonists\, and the characterization of the sleep promoting effects of selective blockade of either the orexin-2 receptor or the orexin-1 receptor. Pre-clinical studies have shown that selective orexin-2 receptor antagonists are effective sleep promoting agents\, indicating that selective antagonism of the orexin-2 receptor is sufficient to promote sleep. Additional studies have shown that an orexin-1 receptor antagonist\, when dosed alone\, has no significant effect on sleep parameters in rat and in fact can attenuate the sleep promoting effects of a selective orexin-2 antagonist when dosed together with an orexin-2 antagonist. These data led us to develop selective orexin-2 receptor antagonists as sleep promoting agents. Towards that end\, we now present the medicinal chemistry efforts and the pre-clinical characterization of a series of novel selective orexin-2 receptor antagonists that led to the discovery of JNJ-42847922 along with human pharmacokinetic data and safety data from Phase 1 clinical trials in healthy volunteers.

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:44929-10012309@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:20160907T191437 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161107T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161107T120000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:British Women in India 1615-1947 DESCRIPTION:You will learn about the experiences of British women (the Memsahibs) who lived in India in the Raj era that ended in 1947.

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.

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.

They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment.

They must travel to 6 countries in 2 regions over the course of 8 months and are expected to immerse themselves in independent and enriching explorations. Bonderman Fellows engage with cultures\, people\, and areas of the world with which they are not familiar\, providing them the opportunity to develop entirely new perspectives.\n\nUM is one of only two schools—along with the University of Washington—to offer the Bonderman award. David Bonderman traveled internationally as a Sheldon Fellow after graduating from Harvard Law School in the 1960s\, and that experience shaped the rest of his life.

Trans-imperial History and the North-South Divide DESCRIPTION:Through the lens of Ottoman history\, I will argue for the necessity of understanding history across imperial (and national) boundaries in order to dislodge the firmly entrenched conceptual North-South divide. It is crucial that we understand how the all-but-accepted assumptions of a standard North-South relations (ruler/ruled\, colonizer/colonized\, South-to-North migration. etc) grew out of a specific historical moment during the age of High Imperialism and was later emphasized through the telling of history from a European imperial perspective. Exploring an alternative narrative\, would allow us to better understand how global policies (from refugee policies\, to the focus of the international criminal court) could reshaped through a dismantling of a Euro-centric historical narrative. \n \nMostafa Minawi is an assistant professor of history at Cornell University and the director of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Initiative at Cornell University. His research explores late Ottoman historical through a trans-imperial lens. He also works on bringing awareness to plight of the 60 million displaced people across the globe\, by focusing on what North American educational institutions can do to help university-ready refugees in the Middle East and Africa.\n\n** For CMENAS students only **\n1:30-2 pm — CMENAS students workshop/discussion with the lecturer/professor.

They are relatively easy to record but difficult to interpret: since electric field is long range one can observe neural activity several millimeters from its source. As a consequence\, every recording reflects activity of many cells\, populations and regions\, depending on which level we focus. One way to overcome this problem is to reconstruct the distribution of current sources (CSD) underlying the measurement.\n\nWe recently proposed a kernel-based method of CSD estimation from multiple extracellular recordings from arbitrarily placed probes (i.e. not necessarily on a grid) which we called kernel Current Source Density method (kCSD). In my presentation\, I will present the recent advances of this method\, latest software implementations\, and explain why it works. I will also show two recent developments\, skCSD (single cell kCSD) and kESI (kernel Electrophysiological Source Imaging). skCSD assumes that we know which part of the recorded signal comes from a given cell and we have access to the morphology of the cell. This could be achieved by patching a cell\, driving it externally while recording the potential on a multielectrode array\, injecting a dye\, and reconstructing the morphology. In this case we know that the sources must be located on the cell and this information can be successfully used in source estimation. In kESI we consider simultaneous recordings with subdural ECoG (strip and grid electrodes) and with depth electrodes (SEEG). Such recordings are taken on some epileptic patients prepared for surgical removal of epileptogenic zone. When MR scan of the patient head is taken and the positions of the electrodes are known as well as the brain’s shape\, the idea of kCSD can be applied to constrain the possible distribution of sources facilitating localization of the foci.\n Speaker(s): Daniel Wojcik (Nencki Institute for Experimental Biology\, Warsaw) UID:35559-5272169@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/35559 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161101T140123 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161107T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161107T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantitative Biology Seminar | Source Reconstruction from Extracellular Potentials: From Single Cells to the Whole Brains DESCRIPTION:Extracellular recordings of electric potential remain a popular tool for investigations of brain activity on all scales in animals and humans\, from single cells (spikes) to systems studied with depth electrodes (LFP\, SEEG)\, subdural recordings (ECoG)\, and on the scalp (EEG).

This anthropology of objects considers questions about everyday life\, and how our daily rhythms are dependent on purchase\, use\, and inevitable waste. How do we understand the passage of time? How do we interpret permanence and ephemerally what endures and for how long? And what constitutes value?\n\nThe artist will work with students to package a group of objects collected by them into a sculptural form. The work will be buried on the Diag\, still viewable through a custom made acrylic box that serves as a crypt-like container.\n\nThe burial pays homage to the layered life of each object\, including all the beings that have participated in creating them. It symbolically honors the land\, the individuals and the groups that were altered through the making of each object and the earth itself. It serves to commemorate the comings and goings of students on campus\, their vast and varied imprints\, what they cultivate\, and what they leave behind.. \n\n\"Objects Unveiled: Boxing\, Rolling\, Stretching\, and Cutting\,\" an exhibition in the Institute for the Humanities gallery will include photographs and text about the groupings of objects.

Without gainsaying the great challenges that persons with disabilities faced historically in China (and every other society)\, this talk contends that there are at least five important threads – in philosophy\, imperial policy\, law\, social practice\, and self-help by persons with disabilities – that suggest a more nuanced portrayal is warranted. This is important both for our understanding of the Chinese past and to address arguments\, both from within and beyond the PRC\, about the limits of what is possible in contemporary Chinese society. \n\nWilliam Alford is the Henry L.

Diversity matters because it influences the degree of strategic uncertainty that players face. We model this by incorporating the dual process account of Theory of Mind into the standard game-theoretic framework. Whether diversity is a cost or a benefit depends on whether the primary concern is to avoid mis-coordination or to break out of an inefficient Nash equilibrium.

Given this\, it's troubling that we know so little about 1) the degree to which biotic interactions shape contemporary distribution patterns\, 2) how interactions themselves are likely to change due to climate change or extinction\, and 3) whether those interactions will help or hinder a species' ability to track its climatic niche through space and time. In this talk\, I'll discuss three case studies from the recent geologic record that shed light on the causes of climate-driven extinction\, and the impacts of extinction on plant community dynamics and distributions at the macroecological scale.

It should be seen as the counterpart of Gromov-Witten (GW) theory for hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces via the so-called Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau (LG/CY) correspondence.\nIn 2003\, Lee established a K-theoretic version of GW theory. However\, some aspects of GW theory\, such as mirror symmetry\, were still missing until last year. Indeed\, Givental gave in 2015 a refined version called permutation equivariant GW K-theory\, and proved some mirror symmetry statements in this new context\, e.g. for the quintic hypersurface in P^4.\nIn this talk\, I will describe a joint work with Valentin Tonita and Yongbin Ruan\, in which we define a K-theoretic version of FJRW theory and we study its permutation equivariant part. I will focus on the quintic polynomial and explain how to prove mirror symmetry and the LG/CY correspondence.

Vector-like quarks are the simplest colored fermion extra generation currently allowed by data and many new physics scenarios predict their existence. The decay of vector-like quarks to Standard Model particles\, via Yukawa interactions\, results in rich final states consisting of many hadronic and leptonic boosted objects. This seminar will summarize searches for vector-like quarks in the 1-lepton final state based on 14.7 /fb of pp collisions at sqrt{s} = 13 TeV recorded in 2015 and early 2016 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.

In rough terms\, we can express the partition function (and many other related quantities) of random matrix models in terms of orthogonal polynomials\, so that asymptotic questions in random matrix theory can be immediately translated to the asymptotic theory of orthogonal polynomials. A natural generalization of standard orthogonality on the real line is provided by non-Hermitian orthogonality\, where the standard bona fide inner product is replaced by orthogonality with respect to a non-Hermitian bilinear form\, typically expressed in terms of contour integrals in the complex plane. Although the direct connection to random matrix theory is lost\, the formal partition function associated to the model is meaningful to enumeration problems of graphs in compact Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. Hence the asymptotic theory of these non-Hermitian orthogonal polynomials is still of interest. However\, due to the analytic character of the integrands defining the orthogonality there is a lot of freedom in the choice of contour of integration for the orthogonality\, and consequently classical potential-theoretic techniques have to be suitably adapted and improved in combination with more recent Riemann-Hilbert methods. In the first part of our talk\, we will survey some old and not-so-old results on the asymptotic theory of these non-Hermitian orthogonal polynomials\, focusing on how their asymptotics can be extracted with the aid of the S-curves. This first part is partially based on joint work with Arno Kuijlaars (KU Leuven - Belgium). But this story is not yet over! Another generalization of standard or- thogonality is provided by the multiple orthogonality\, where the conditions of orthogonality are split into two (or more) measures. This generalization is again physically meaningful: many random matrix models (and also random path models) can be described in terms of such multiple orthogonal polynomials. However\, the asymptotic analysis of such polynomials has so far been restricted to situations involving symmetries in the model. So in the second part of our talk we plan to discuss some more recent developments towards removing such symmetry constraints. This is an ongoing project with Andrei Martinez-Finkelshtein (Universidad de Almeria - Spain)\, and as such the whole picture is not yet complete. At any rate we will talk about how the S-contour business can be generalized to this situation\, and how a salad of critical measures and quadratic differentials comes to the table.

A recent contribution in this direction was made by Minhyong Kim\, by defining the arithmetic Chern-Simons functional. This provides\, in the least\, a large set of invariants for a number field. We will provide a Galois theoretic interpretation of some of these invariants\, and also compute some of them. This is joint work with H. Chung\, M. Kim\, J. Park\, and H.

Through an analysis of trial records of the Spanish Inquisition\, this talk examines the spiritual career of a young Morisco prophet in sixteenth-century Toledo\, Spain. It pays attention to the spiritual transformation of the boy from Christian visionary\, to Muslim saint\, and finally his promised prophethood as “God’s envoy” (enviado de Alá) The boy’s visions of heaven and hell\, and his journey to Mecca accompanied by the angel Gabriel not only shed light on the tensions between forced assimilation and the desire to preserve religious and cultural forms\, but ultimately it forced us to reexamine the boundaries of Islamic studies in the Middle Period.

Ukraine: The Next Stage of Transition DESCRIPTION:Ukrainians overwhelmingly voted 25 years ago for freedom and independence\, to break from the tyrannical past of communism and the Soviet Union. Natalie Jaresko will review how Ukraine has become stronger or weaker since independence\, and look at efforts to rebuild society\, the economy\, institutions\, rules\, regulations\, and systems. Focusing on developments in the past two years\, during which Ukrainians have fought to retain their valuable freedom and independence\, she will look at how the horrendous war to defend territorial integrity and the values of Ukrainian people has affected the transition process. Drawing on her experience as Finance Minister\, Jaresko will explore what can be done to hasten this transition\, asking how Ukraine can cement the progress of the past while defending itself in a hybrid war and avoiding the risks of populism. She will offer suggestions for urgent steps that need to be taken to turn Ukraine's opportunity and potential into competitive realities. \n \nNatalie A. Jaresko has enjoyed a distinguished international career in public service and private industry. As Ukraine’s Finance Minister from December 2014 to April 2016\, she served at a particularly critical moment when the post-revolutionary state was rocked by deep recession and war on part of its territory. During her tenure she led the successful negotiation of the largest IMF program in the institution’s history\, as well as a complex debt restructuring. Her government’s success in restoring macroeconomic stability enabled the creation of a broad international financial coalition to support Ukraine’s transition. She led the reduction of public spending\, cutting the deficit by more than 75% to 2.1% of GDP in 2015. She also advanced tax reform resulting in an almost 50% reduction in payroll tax\, eliminated tax privileges which favored vested interests\, implemented a transparent e-data system placing all treasury transactions online in real time\, and initiated corporate governance reform in state-owned banks. \n \nPreviously\, she spent two decades creating a platform for private equity investment in the region\, working as co-founder and CEO of Horizon Capital\, a fund with over $600 million under management\, and as president and CEO of Western NIS Enterprise Fund. Jaresko began her career in public service in the United States\, serving in the State Department from 1989-92\, then as Economic Section Chief of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine from 1992-95. She currently serves as Trustee Board Chair for Aspen Institute Kyiv and is a member of the WEF Global Agenda Council on the Future of Financing and Capital.\n\nAbstracts reflect the views of our speakers\, which may be varied. We expect a lively discussion.

Brandeis: American Prophet\" DESCRIPTION:As America confronts a new\, intensely contested Supreme Court vacancy\, there is no justice who can teach us more about our current constitutional debates than Louis D. Brandeis. Brandeis waited 125 days between his nomination and his confirmation a hundred years ago on June 1\, 1916\, and his confirmation battle was the most contentious in Supreme Court history. Once he joined the Court\, Brandeis wrote some of the most influential opinions on issues we are still grappling with today\, including privacy\, free speech\, and excesses of corporate and federal power. He was also the first Jewish justice\, the leader of the American Zionist Movement\, a powerful advocate for the role of education in democracy\, and a jurist whose emphasis on facts transformed the way the Court does business.\n\nJeffrey Rosen is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the National Constitution Center\, the only institution in America chartered by Congress “to disseminate information about the United States Constitution on a non-partisan basis.” Rosen is also a professor at The George Washington University Law School\, a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution\, and a contributing editor for The Atlantic. He is a highly regarded journalist whose essays and commentaries have appeared in The New York Times Magazine and The Atlantic\, on National Public Radio\, and in The New Yorker\, where he has been a staff writer. The Chicago Tribune named him one of the 10 best magazine journalists in America and a reviewer for the Los Angeles Times called him “the nation’s most widely read and influential legal commentator.” He received the 2012 Golden Pen Award from the Legal Writing Institute for his “extraordinary contribution to the cause of better legal writing.” Rosen is the author of The Supreme Court: The Personalities and Rivalries that Defined America\; The Most Democratic Branch: How the Courts Serve America\; The Naked Crowd: Reclaiming Security and Freedom in an Anxious Age\; and The Unwanted Gaze: The Destruction of Privacy in America. He is co-editor\, with Ben Wittes\, of Constitution 3.0: Freedom and Technological Change. Rosen is a graduate of Harvard College\; Oxford University\, where he was a Marshall Scholar\; and Yale Law School.\n\nSponsored by Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, Ann Arbor Jewish Community Center and Ann Arbor District Library.\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

A Maine native and a Boston coffeehouse sensation\, Patty headed south to Austin\, and her work combines Southern roots sounds and Northeastern poetry. Her elegant lyrics\, bluesy alto vocals\, and melodic guitar style aim directly at the deepest emotions of her listeners\, and top artists on the country and acoustic side—like Emmylou Harris and even Kelly Clarkson—keep close tabs on what she's up to. Emmylou says\, \"I would go anywhere\, any time\, to hear Patty Griffin sing her extraordinary songs.\" Patty can rock a bit\, she can sing straight gospel (and win a Best Traditional Gospel Grammy for it)\, she can do the sparest and most minimal kind of folk singer-songwriter performance. But what really distinguishes Patty Griffin is a body of deeply poetic songs\, personal in unexpected ways\, that can stand with the output of anyone else in the business. Patty's latest is called \"Servant of Love\,\" and it's rooted in the mysteries of the natural world\, the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman\, and human relationships to nature\, society\, and time. As the album travels through different musical terrains—folk and blues\, rock and jazz\, ancient sounds and modern—a spare\, organic quality persists. It's profound stuff\, from a songwriter who has the chops to pull it off. Kentucky-born singer-songwriter Joan Shelley\, who was recently featured on NPR's \"Fresh Air\" and has been compared to Sandy Denny and Vashti Bunyan\, opens the show.

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 city is literally sinking while also experiencing climate change related sea-level rise. Add to that the yearly heavy rainfall the city sees from the Southeast Asian monsoon and a population that has swelled beyond ten million due to rapid urbanization\, and it’s easy to see why Jakarta’s infrastructure is experiencing significant strain. Jakarta isn’t an isolated example of this perfect storm. It represents the future difficulty that coastal cities all over the world are likely to face.\n\nUnderstanding that lessons learned in Jakarta can have a global impact\, University of Michigan alumus Frank Sedlar set out to help with flood mitigation in Jakarta. Frank earned his master of science degree from Michigan Engineering and also studied the Indonesian language while at the university. Photojournalist and filmmaker Marcin Szczepanski and writer Ben Logan from Michigan Engineering chronicled Frank’s experience while in Jakarta working on modern solutions to Jakarta’s growing problem.\n\nPlease join us for an opening reception on Friday\, October 21 at 5 PM at the International Institute Gallery.

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:44929-10012310@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:20161108T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161108T163000 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.

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.

They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment.

To understand how the brain computes we must first develop a precise language to speak about these spike trains. It is generally accepted that such language is provided by the theory of point processes. Interestingly\, this theory is also useful in the description of behavior of mice cohorts studied in modern intelligent cages\, such as the IntelliCage\, which allows for multiple mice to be kept together to study the social aspects of their behavior in an environment that is essentially human-free. In my lecture I will briefly discuss these two remote levels of animal functioning illustrating them with some results of specific experiments. I will then show how increasing mathematical precision of the description of the studied phenomena may lead to biologically interesting results.

In October 2013\, the central government announced a new policy prohibiting former government officials from working in firms. Firms previously having former government officials as independent directors were affected. There are two main findings in this paper. First\, the affected firms had on average a -10 pp buy-and-hold-abnormal-return (BHAR) in 6 to 12 months following the policy shock\, which can be attributed to a loss of political connections. Due to the favorable features of the policy shock\, this political connection value estimation has a cleaner interpretation and has greater potential to be generalized. Second\, the policy effects exhibit considerable heterogeneity\, which suggests firms count on political connections to different degrees. There is some suggestive evidence connecting the value of political connection for a firm to its certain characteristics.

Economic Reform Policy Under Xi Jinping DESCRIPTION:Xi Jinping came to power with an ambitious reform agenda\, but a series of reverses in 2015-16 have thrown this agenda into disarray. Which of these factors are most important in explaining this outcome: Xi’s commitment to reform objectives\; China’s political system\; or the nature of China’s economic challenges? \n\nBarry Naughton is Professor at the University of California\, San Diego specializing in the Chinese economy and economic policy. He spent fall 2012 and 2013 as a visiting scholar at Tsinghua University in Beijing\, following closely the economic initiatives of the then-new Xi Jinping Administration. He has consulted extensively for the World Bank\, as well as for corporate clients. Dr. Naughton’s comprehensive study\, The Chinese Economy: Transitions and Growth in 2007 (MIT Press) has been translated into Chinese and Korean. His first book\, Growing Out of the Plan: Chinese Economic Reform\, 1978-1993 (Cambridge University Press\, 1995) won the Masayoshi Ohira Memorial Prize. Naughton publishes extensively in top economics and social science journals. He also publishes regular quarterly analyses of China’s economic policy-making online at China Leadership Monitor. Naughton’s most recent book\, co-edited with Kellee Tsai\, is State Capitalism\, Institutional Adaptation and the Chinese Miracle\, published by Cambridge University Press\, 2015. Naughton received his Ph.D. in Economics from Yale University in 1986\, and was named the So Kuanlok Professor at the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies (IR/PS) of the University of California at San Diego in 1998.

Gailus’ work engages these contemporary debates by way of an historical detour. It explores the rich discourse of life in German literature\, philosophy and politics from the a late 18th to the mid-20th century\, analyzing\, in particular\, its sustained attention to questions of form and formation. Part historical study\, part philosophical essay\, the work seeks to develop a vocabulary that helps us articulate the many lives—biological and biographical\, political and psychical\, aesthetic and ethical—that we live and are.\n\nAndreas Gailus is associate professor\, Germanic languages and literatures\, and a 2015-16 fellow at the Institute for the Humanities.

In a shift from the 1990s\, rabbinic leadership has turned to interiority\, integrating theological concepts into a therapeutic framework to combat religious doubt. Analyzing a rally against the Internet and the emergence of religious therapy\, this presentation shows how current leadership has been protecting and treating hearts\, minds and souls in their struggle to claim ultra-Orthodox authenticity. \n\nAyala Fader received her PhD from New York University and is currently Associate Professor of Anthropology and Co-Director of the Women’s Studies Program at Fordham University.

The photon problem can be mapped exactly onto that of a many-body system of fermions\, which is known to exhibit an orthogonality catastrophe when a finite-range local potential is introduced. We predict that the motion of polarizable objects inside a cavity\, no matter how slow\, as well as their addition and removal from the cavity\, will generate a macroscopic\, diverging number of low-energy photons. The significance of these results in regard to the quantum measurement problem and the dynamical Casimir effect are also discussed.

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

The exhibit features a British team\, headed by Peter Waters\, which created a washing-drying-mending-rebinding system to deal with tens of thousands of books damaged by the disaster.\n\nThe two most important outcomes of the tragedy are the professional training of library conservators and the establishment of disaster preparedness and response programs.\n\nLearn more and register for the symposium\, The Flood in Florence\, 1966: A Fifty-Year Retrospective\, happening November 3-4\, 2016. https://www.lib.umich.edu/flood-florence-1966-fifty-year-retrospective UID:33962-4826178@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33962 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, 2nd Floor Hatcher CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161107T120851 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161109T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161109T100000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Causal Inference in Education Research Seminar (CIERS) DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nPublic School Districts across the country are setting ambitious student performance goals\, but quite often the types of actions they undertake to reach them aren't nearly as ambitious. As part of my role at Education Resource Strategies\, I've been working to build a tool that uses causal research\, and district administrative data to illustrate the relative performance gains districts might expect from different actions in order to help them understand this disconnect and bridge the gap between ambition and action. We have an initial prototype and are currently testing our assumptions and filling in gaps in the underlying research we're basing it on.

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:44929-10012311@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:20161017T121527 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161109T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161109T133000 SUMMARY:Other:Innervisions: The Arts and Social Justice DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Center is offering two new diversity programs focusing on Detroit arts and culture. \n\nAs a continuation of our “Beyond the Ivory Tower” Series\, the Detroit Center will host the mini-symposium\, Innervisions: The Arts and Social Justice\, at the Detroit Center from 9:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.\, Wednesday\, November 9.\n\nTransportation will be provided for those coming from the Ann Arbor campus (Ann Arbor pick up at 8:30 a.m.\; return to Ann Arbor by 2:30 p.m.).\n\nThe mini-symposium provides a unique opportunity for academic and community stakeholders to engage in discourse on a particular topic.

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.

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.

They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L.

Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment.

Founded in 2010\, today Ed Trust-Midwest is widely recognized as a leading voice for non-partisan data\, original analysis and research\, policy expertise and now a statewide coalition dedicated to making Michigan a top ten state for all groups of students. Under her leadership\, Ed Trust-Midwest led the coalition and original policy research that led to the legislative passage and cross-sector development of Michigan’s first statewide educator support and evaluation system. ETM has led successful efforts to ensure Michigan implemented college- and career-ready standards\, in collaboration with more than 140 organizations across the state. It also was the state’s first organization to call for quality standards and accountability for Michigan’s charter school authorizers. In partnership with the Steelcase Foundation\, Arellano also founded the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. The CETL has brought proven best practices from leading education states to West Michigan\, including an innovative new model for building and supporting teachers and principals to dramatically raise achievement in high-poverty schools. ETM is the Midwest division of the national Education Trust\, which is among the nation’s most respected research and policy think-tanks on closing achievement gaps for students of color and low-income students in the U.S. \n \nA first-generation college graduate\, Arellano’s multi-sector career has been devoted to improving public education and opportunity for Americans of all backgrounds. Previously she worked at the National Poverty Center and served as a Rackham Fellow at the University of Michigan\, Ford School of Public Policy\, where she earned her Master’s in poverty and inequality policy. At the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights’ Executive Office\, she helped develop and execute cross-country public engagement campaigns. Before joining the policy sector\, she earned accolades as a veteran journalist\, covering education and race relations for the Detroit Free Press and later as a columnist for the Detroit News. The National Association of Hispanic Journalists named her Commentator of the Year for her “influential and crusading work on behalf of Michigan’s vulnerable students.” Arellano started her career as a high school teacher\, and taught as an adjunct at Michigan State University\, where she earned her Bachelor’s in secondary education. She serves on the board of the Detroit Regional Chamber Foundation and the Michigan Economic Center’s Leadership Council. \n\nSponsored by: The University of Michigan Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP) \nCo-Sponsored by: The University of Michigan Education Policy Initiative (EPI)\, University of Michigan School of Education\n\nFor more information visit www.closup.umich.edu or call 734-647-4091.

DESCRIPTION:People unfamiliar with the Chinese language are often amazed by the sheer number of characters used in the written language: Chinese characters 汉字. A Chinese user needs to know about 3\,500 characters in order to have a >99% comprehension of the content of an ordinary newspaper article. Compared to the 26 letters in the Roman alphabet\, that seems like a lot. But is this an accurate comparison? Are characters in Chinese really equivalent to the letters in an alphabetic language? Does having over 3\,000 common characters really make Chinese inefficient\, placing an extra burden on learners? In this talk\, I will show how characters function in Chinese by discussing what the characters really stand for\; the difference between characters and words\; how words are formed in Chinese—and how that process differs in Classical vs. Modern Chinese. No linguistic background is needed.\n\nBiography\n\nLI Kening\, Director of the Chinese Language Program in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at University of Michigan. She received her MA and PhD in linguistics from the University of Washington. Afterwards she taught in the Department of Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University. Later\, as a faculty member at the University of California\, Berkeley\, she worked in Beijing\, China directing the prestigious Inter-University Program (IUP) for Chinese Language Studies. Her research interest is Chinese linguistics and how to apply linguistic theories to language teaching.

A Saint and his Fighting Peasants: Research into a Genre Painting from the Dutch Golden Age DESCRIPTION:The venerable icon of the \"Charity of St. Martin\" (a knight slicing his cloak to share it with a naked beggar) underwent a curious transformation in the genre painting of the Dutch Golden Age. Martin's Charity became compromised by the inclusion of battling peasants and other mendicants around the central figures. With a focus on a recently acquired panel attributed to the Utrecht painter Jost Corneslisz Droochsloot\, Prof. Walsh will explore the religious\, popular cultural\, and art historical questions raised by this manipulation of standard iconography.

We derive a stochastic control model to optimize banks' dividend and recapitalization policies in this situation\, and calibrate that to a sample of U.S. banks. By the calibrated model\, the noise in reported accounting asset values hides about one-third of the true asset return volatility and raises the banks' market equity value by 7.8% because the noise hides the banks' solvency risk from banking regulators. Particularly\, those banks with a high level of loan loss provisions\, nonperforming assets\, and real estate loans\, and with a low volatility of reported total assets have noisy accounting asset values. Because of the substantial shock on the true asset values\, the banks' assets were more opaque during the recent financial crisis.

TMLE involves maximizing a parametric likelihood along a so-called least favorable parametric model through an initial estimator of the data density\, and iterating this updating process till convergence. For one-dimensional target parameters\, we propose a universal least-favorable submodel that (a) guarantees that the TMLE only takes one step\, and thus always exists in closed form\, and (b) renders the targeting step of the TMLE maximally effective\, resulting in meaningful practical improvements relative to an iterative TMLE. We generalize this to multivariate and infinite-dimensional parameters\, and illustrate our proposal in several causal estimation problems. The asymptotic efficiency of the TMLE relies on the asymptotic negligibility of a second-order term. This typically requires the initial data density estimator to converge fast enough. We propose a new estimator\, the Highly Adaptive LASSO (HAL)\, of the data density (and its functionals) that converges at a sufficient rate regardless of the dimensionality of the problem\, under almost no additional regularity. This allows us to propose a one-step TMLE that is asymptotically efficient in great generality across all models and differentiable target parameters. We demonstrate the practical performance of HAL and its corresponding TMLE for the average causal effect.

As Hyun Ok Park demonstrates\, rather than territorial integration and family union\, the capitalist unconscious drives the current unification\, imagining the capitalist integration of the Korean peninsula and the Korean diaspora as a new democratic moment. \n Based on extensive archival and ethnographic research in South Korea and China\, The Capitalist Unconscious shows how the hegemonic democratic politics of the post-Cold War era—reparation\, peace\, and human rights—have consigned the rights of migrant laborers—protagonists of transnational Korea—to identity politics\, constitutionalism\, and cosmopolitanism. Park reveals the riveting capitalist logic of these politics\, which underpins legal and policy debates\, social activism\, and media spectacle.\n\nWhile rethinking the historical trajectory of Cold War industrialism and its subsequent liberal path\, this book also probes memories of such key events as the North Korean and Chinese revolutions\, which are integral to migrants’ reckoning with capitalist allures and communal possibilities. Casting capitalist democracy within an innovative framework of historical repetition\, Park elucidates the form and content of the capitalist unconscious at different historical moments and dissolves the modern opposition among socialism\, democracy\, and dictatorship. The Capitalist Unconscious astutely explores the neoliberal present’s past and introduces a compelling approach to the question of history and contemporaneity.\n\nHyun Ok Park teaches sociology at York University. She writes about global capitalism\, transnational migration\, empire\, postcolonialism\, and the issues of comparison and comparability. She is the author of Two Dreams in One Bed: Empire\, Social Life\, and the Origins of the North Korean Revolution in Manchuria (Duke University Press\, 2005).\n\nEvent cosponsored by the U-M Department of Sociology.

DIY Detroit describes a phenomenon that has become woefully routine as inhabitants of deteriorating cities “domesticate” public services in order to get by.\"\n\nAbout \"Beautiful Wasteland\": \"\nRebecca J. Kinney reveals that the contemporary story of Detroit’s rebirth is an upcycled version of the American Dream\, which has long imagined access to work\, home\, and upward mobility as race-neutral projects. She tackles key questions about the future of postindustrial America\, and shows how the narratives of Detroit’s history are deeply steeped in material and ideological investments in whiteness.\"\n\n\nKimberley Kinder is assistant professor of urban planning at the University of Michigan. She is the author of The Politics of Urban Water: Changing Waterscapes in Amsterdam.\n\nRebecca J. Kinney\, who grew up in metropolitan Detroit\, is assistant professor in the School of Cultural and Critical Studies and Popular Culture at Bowling Green State University.

From craft objects to Impressionist painting and the contemporary Alev Ebüzziya Siesbye\, Cobalt Blue has a significant art history. What does it mean though\, to work with materials that are both seductive and linked to contemporary forms of violence? If the exhibition is a form of storytelling – what do these objects say?\n\nBecause of their ubiquity\, the objects in the exhibition may veil their colonial histories\, but in their modern replications\, they implicate users in a massive extraction-based neocolonialism that can be deadly to the humans working in and living near mines. This is an extraction that also sacrifices the land\, water\, air\, and animal life for economic gain.\n\nThe exhibition includes photographs and objects\, many are transformed through boxing\, bundling\, rolling\, cutting\, stretching\, and crushing\; all techniques used to alter Cobalt.

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 city is literally sinking while also experiencing climate change related sea-level rise. Add to that the yearly heavy rainfall the city sees from the Southeast Asian monsoon and a population that has swelled beyond ten million due to rapid urbanization\, and it’s easy to see why Jakarta’s infrastructure is experiencing significant strain. Jakarta isn’t an isolated example of this perfect storm. It represents the future difficulty that coastal cities all over the world are likely to face.\n\nUnderstanding that lessons learned in Jakarta can have a global impact\, University of Michigan alumus Frank Sedlar set out to help with flood mitigation in Jakarta. Frank earned his master of science degree from Michigan Engineering and also studied the Indonesian language while at the university. Photojournalist and filmmaker Marcin Szczepanski and writer Ben Logan from Michigan Engineering chronicled Frank’s experience while in Jakarta working on modern solutions to Jakarta’s growing problem.\n\nPlease join us for an opening reception on Friday\, October 21 at 5 PM at the International Institute Gallery.

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:44929-10012312@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:20161110T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T163000 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.

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.

They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

Staged Seduction reveals a world where all intimacies and feigned feelings are fair game for the hosts who employ feathered bangs\, polished nails\, fine European suits\, and the sensitivity of the finest salesmen to create a fantasy for wealthy women seeking an escape from the everyday. \n\nAkiko Takeyama's investigation of this beguiling underground \"love business\" provides an intimate window into Japanese host clubs and the lives of hosts\, clients\, club owners\, and managers. The club is a place where fantasies are pursued and the art of seduction isn't merely about romance\; a complex set of transactions emerges. Like a casino of love\, the host club is a site of desperation\, aspiration\, and hope\, in which both hosts and clients are eager to roll the dice. Takeyama reveals the aspirational mode not only of the host club\, but also of a Japanese society built on the commercialization of aspiration\, seducing its citizens out of the present and into a future where hopes and dreams are imaginable—and billions of dollars can be made. \n \nAkiko Takeyama is an assistant professor of anthropology and women\, gender\, and sexuality studies at the University of Kansas. Her research interests lie in changing gender\, sexuality\, and class dynamics in contemporary Japan. Her first book\, Staged Seduction: Selling Dreams in a Tokyo Host Club\, (2016 Stanford University Press) theorizes the commercialization of feelings\, emotions\, and intimate relationships among socially marginalized population —the youth and women— in Japan’s service-centered economy. Her second book project\, tentatively entitled “Affect Economy of Human Trafficking in Japan\,” will explore human affect ―hope\, fear\, and a sense of vulnerability― in the analysis of 21st century capitalism\, complicating such legal categories as human rights and individual consent especially when sexual and economic exploitation are carried out in the name of individual choice.

It was at this time that the Bronze Age site of Pecica Şanţul Mare was established. Over the next 500 years\, Pecica rapidly became the preeminent Bronze Age center in the region\, controlling the distribution of metals and domesticated horses throughout the Carpathian Basin\, and then with equal rapidity collapsed and was abandoned. Renewed excavation at Pecica Şanţul Mare affords a finegrained view of the interplay of factors which led to the genesis and collapse of this important Bronze Age polity\, and allows regional patterns of growth\, aggregation\, and dispersal to be linked to specific social processes and elite strategies at this critical center. Pecica provides a valuable case\, in which a\ncomplex polity does not transition into a stable state-like organization.

A 'non-commutative resolution' is given by a module M whose ring of endomorphisms has finite global dimension. Intuitively\, this replaces the idea of 'projective modules' with 'summands of M'. When R is a domain of characteristic p>0\, one possible M to consider is the module of p^e roots. \n\nIn this talk\, I will demonstrate that\, for toric algebras\, the module of p^e roots gives a non-commutative resolution\, and show how the precise module structure of the endomorphism ring can be described combinatorially. This is joint work with Eleonore Faber and Karen E.

This statement\, as well as the non-unirationality of many other Deligne-Mumford moduli spaces\, was well-known in characteristic zero\, but is more difficult in characteristic p. Our method uses the action of Frobenius on the etale cohomology of M_{1\,n}. Following Deligne\, we can compute this cohomology in terms of modular forms. The unirationality then follows from classical results on modular forms modulo p.\n Speaker(s): Will Sawin (Princeton/ETH) UID:35099-5104579@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/35099 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - B844 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161110T181706 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T151000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analysis/Probability Learning Seminar DESCRIPTION:We are going to present a very short (probabilistic) proof of the classical Dvoretzky theorem in the spirit of Figiel's (topological) proof. This approach gives rise of a new global parameter which is responsible for small deviation and small ball estimates. Furthermore\, the dependence on epsilon we obtain in this way is the optimal one. A refined form of the random version of Dvoretzky's theorem (due to V. Milman) in terms of this parameter will also be discussed. The latter can be viewed as the almost isometric version of the Klartag-Vesrhynin result on the one-sided inclusion of Dvoretzky's theorem. (Joint work with G. Paouris).

We know little\, however\, about the mechanisms that operate when interacting with others. We implement a randomized experiment in 171 schools in Mexico that allows us to isolate the effect of changes in the mean and variance of peers on students' academic performance and behavior. We find that tracking and mixing (i.e.\, bimodal groups) generate similar average gains (0.07-0.08SD) without hurting low-achieving students. Both concerns about the relative ranking as well as peer support seem to play a role in explaining peer effects.

Specifically\, it is unclear whether production is primarily influenced by “direct” climate effects on the kinetics of plant metabolism\, or “indirect” climate effects on plant size\, stand biomass\, stand age structure\, and growing season length. I address this debate by deriving metabolic theory that links hypothesized climate influences with production\, and assessing these hypothesized relationships using a global compilation of ecosystem woody plant biomass and production data. Notably\, age and biomass explained most of the variation in production whereas temperature and precipitation explained almost none\, suggesting that climate indirectly (not directly) influences production. This lack of a direct kinetic effect may arise from covariation of leaf traits and climate\, which decouples plant and air temperatures. This yields a general thermoregulation of leaves\, which I suggest originates from selection on leaf traits to maximize carbon gain across and within variable environments. Using global data for leaf temperatures\, traits and photosynthesis\, I evaluate predictions from a theory of thermoregulation that synthesizes energy budget and carbon economics theories. These results provide a novel mechanistic understanding of constraints on evolution of plant form and function\, and have critical implications for earth system models that almost always assume plant temperatures equal ambient air temperature.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m. UID:35739-5311013@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/35739 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Discussion,Ecology,Environment,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161107T121342 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T210000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Harbaugh Themed Dinner DESCRIPTION:Come to Mosher-Jordan Dining Hall on Thursday\, November 10th and enjoy a delicious dinner celebrating Coach Harbaugh!

The ray graph is a Gromov-hyperbolic graph on which this group acts by isometries (it is an equivalent of the curve graph for this surface of infinite type). Therefore\, studying the properties of the ray graph could give tools to study subgroups of the considered mapping class group and prevent some specific group actions on the plane.\n\nIn a recent joint work with Alden Walker\, we give a description of the Gromov boundary of the ray graph in terms of \"cliques of long geodesic rays\" on the plane minus a Cantor set. As a consequence\, we prove that the Gromov boundary of the ray graph is homeomorphic to a quotient of a subset of the circle. In this talk\, I will introduce the ray graph and present (with many pictures!) our description of its Gromov boundary.

DESCRIPTION:It is a generally held truism that we ought to sincerely thank our veterans\, especially on Veterans Day. Is the truism correct\, though? Even if it is\, what does it mean? Are some of our expressions of thanks really just trumped up ways of absolving ourselves for responsibility in war? What are some of the ways we over-valorize veterans? What are some of the ways we scapegoat veterans? In celebration of Veterans Day\, join us for a deeper enquiry into such questions. \n \nCheyney Ryan (Oxford Institute for Ethics and Law of Armed Conflict/Conscientious Objector of Vietnam)\n\nMike Robillard (Oxford Uheiro Institute for Practical Ethics/Veteran of Iraq)\n\nRobert Underwood (Oxford PhD Student/Veteran of Iraq)\n\nDavid Reese (Georgetown PhD Student/Veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan)\n\nIan Fishback (University of Michigan PhD Student/Veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan) UID:31435-4260705@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31435 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:History,Philosophy,Veterans Week LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Amphitheater CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160907T141955 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161110T190000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Yoga Class DESCRIPTION:As part of our Health & Wellness initiative\, Trotter offers FREE hour long fitness classes twice a week.

Yahuba: Afro-Caribbean Music from Puerto Rico DESCRIPTION:Yahuba is a Puerto Rican musical group music whose varied repertoire highlights the fusion of different folkloric traditions in the region\, such as jíbaro\, bomba\, plena\, and danza from Puerto Rico\; salve\, palos\, bachata\, and merengue from the Dominican Republic\; RaRa and Konpa from Haiti\; changüi\, rumba\, son\, bolero\, and guaracha from Cuba\, among other musical traditions. All of these rich musical traditions are reworked from their most basic and essential melodic and harmonic elements\, on top of an African-American jazz and funk base\, to create a new platform for a truly Pan-Caribbean cultural fusion. \n \nFounded in 1999\, Yahuba is also dedicated to the research\, education\, and performance of the musical traditions of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean region. An important tenet of the band’s work is the diffusion of knowledge about Caribbean culture as seen throughout the history of its musical tradition\, especially those elements connected to its African heritage.
