SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Divided Images: Fiber
DESCRIPTION:Jill Ault is an Ann Arbor studio artist working in fiber\, primarily quilts\, with a BFA degree in painting from Eastern Michigan University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. 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. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. 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

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. 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. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Gonzalo Bergara Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The all-acoustic Gonzalo Bergara Quartet plays a modern variant of 1930’s Django Reinhardt–inspired gypsy jazz. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. 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. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Documenting Detroit - A Monts Hall Photo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Documenting Detroit is a collection of photographs taken by students from the College for Creative Studies during the 1970s and 1980s. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Drug Discovery Seminar: \"Discovery of selective Orexin-2 antagonists for the treatment of Primary Insomnia\"
DESCRIPTION:Orexins (OX)\, also known as hypocretins\, are the common names given to a pair of excitatory neuropeptides called OX-A and OX-B (also termed hypocretin-1 and hypocretin-2) derived from the common precursor prepro-OX that are exclusively produced by hypothalamic neurons.  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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. 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

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. 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. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Bonderman Info Session (CGIS Office)
DESCRIPTION:The Bonderman Fellowship offers graduating LSA seniors $20\,000 to travel the world. 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. He created the Bonderman Travel Fellowship in 1995 to provide students with a similar opportunity. Fellows make their own travel itineraries and\, because this is meant to be an individual experience\, cannot engage in formal study at a foreign university\, conduct formal research\, or travel with a guest or organized group.\n\nPizza and other refreshments will be served at all Bonderman info sessions.\n\nThe Bonderman info sessions in the CGIS office are back-to-back sessions without additional time for questions after the allotted 30 minutes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Colloquium Series. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mathematical Biology
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). 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)

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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Sacred Objects/Diag Burial Project public opening
DESCRIPTION:Artist Mary Mattingly’s project \"Sacred Objects\" attempts to portray rituals associated with consumption and discard. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Bonderman Info Session (CGIS Office)
DESCRIPTION:The Bonderman Fellowship offers graduating LSA seniors $20\,000 to travel the world. 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. He created the Bonderman Travel Fellowship in 1995 to provide students with a similar opportunity. Fellows make their own travel itineraries and\, because this is meant to be an individual experience\, cannot engage in formal study at a foreign university\, conduct formal research\, or travel with a guest or organized group.\n\nPizza and other refreshments will be served at all Bonderman info sessions.\n\nThe Bonderman info sessions in the CGIS office are back-to-back sessions without additional time for questions after the allotted 30 minutes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Occasional Lecture Series | Rehabilitating History: A Reconsideration of the Treatment of Disability in Chinese History and Its Implications Today
DESCRIPTION:Accounts of the treatment of persons with disabilities over the course of China’s long history are almost all unreservedly bleak. 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. Stimson Professor of Law at Harvard University\, where he also serves as the Director of East Asian Legal Studies and the Chair of the Harvard Law School Project on Disability. \n    \nProfessor Alford has served as a consultant to the U.S. government\, the World Bank\, the Ford Foundation\, foreign governments\, law firms\, nongovernmental organizations\, and corporations\, and has been a dispute resolution panelist under the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement and the North American Free Trade Agreement. He has met with current and previous presidents of China and Taiwan\, and is one of a small number of foreign law specialists to have delivered an address at the Central Party School of the Chinese Communist Party. \n    \nProfessor Alford is the founding Chair of the Harvard Law School Project on Disability which provides pro bono services on issues of disability in China\, Bangladesh\, the Philippines\, Vietnam and several other nations. He served from 2005 to 2014 on the board of directors of Special Olympics International (which serves individuals with intellectual disabilities in more than 180 nations) chairing its Research and Policy Committee and serving on its Executive Committee. In 2008\, Special Olympics honored him for his work for persons with intellectual disabilities in China.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis paper presents a novel mechanism under which diversity affects performance even if it has no direct impact on payoffs. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Complex Analysis\, Dynamics and Geometry
DESCRIPTION:I'll describe a combinatorial/geometric construction which I call the plaid model\, on account of its resemblance to the weave in a plaid shirt.  For each rational number the model produces a union of embedded polygonal surfaces in a cube. I will explain how you recover the dynamics of outer billiards on kites when you slice the model in one direction and how you recover some of Pat Hooper's Truchet tiling system when you slice the model 2 other directions.  The model is a kind of marriage of these two seemingly unrelated dynamical systems\, and has a rich structure in its own right. I'll show off the main results with plenty of color computer demos.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Special Seminar: The one-two punch: megafauna extinction\, climate change\, and biotic interactions at the macro scale
DESCRIPTION:Climate has long been recognized as a deterministic factor in shaping species ranges and assemblages\, but there is a growing appreciation for the role of ecological interactions in modulating how species respond to climate change. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics
DESCRIPTION:In 2007\, a quantum theory for quasi-homogeneous polynomial singularities was developed by Fan\, Jarvis\, and Ruan\, based on ideas of Witten\, and now called FJRW theory. 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. Speaker(s): Jeremy Guere (Berlin)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Search for Heavy Vector-like Quarks in pp Collisions at sqrt{s}=13 TeV with the ATLAS Detector
DESCRIPTION:Unlike Standard Model quarks\, vector-like quarks are non-chiral with symmetric right- and left-handed couplings. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Integrable Systems and Random Matrix Theory
DESCRIPTION:This is a continuation of last week's talk: The relation between (standard) orthogonal polynomials and random matrix theory is\, by now\, somewhat classical. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Group\, Lie and Number Theory
DESCRIPTION:In arithmetic topology\, one aims to build analogies between 3-manifolds and spectra of number rings. 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. Yoo.\n Speaker(s): Dohyeong Kim (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Near Eastern Studies Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Sixteenth-century Europe and North Africa witnessed parallel processes of heightened religious enthusiasm: invoking divine grace and claiming non-mediated communication with God\, visionaries\, prophets\, and saints of both societies sought a religious and political transformation of their communities.  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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Frankel Speaker Series: \"Louis D. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Patty Griffin
DESCRIPTION:Patty Griffin's songs are beautiful\, intense\, and challenging. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Divided Images: Fiber
DESCRIPTION:Jill Ault is an Ann Arbor studio artist working in fiber\, primarily quilts\, with a BFA degree in painting from Eastern Michigan University. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. 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. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Florence Flood\, November 1966
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit focuses on the destruction of Florence during the flood on November 4\, 1966. Among the collections severely impacted by the muddy waters were those in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze. Book conservators from the United States and Western Europe were called in to help with the recovery efforts. The exhibit features a British team\, headed by Peter Waters\, which created a washing-drying-mending-rebinding system to deal with tens of thousands of books damaged by the disaster.\n\nThe two most important outcomes of the tragedy are the professional training of library conservators and the establishment of disaster preparedness and response programs.\n\nLearn more and register for the symposium\, The Flood in Florence\, 1966: A Fifty-Year Retrospective\, happening November 3-4\, 2016. https://www.lib.umich.edu/flood-florence-1966-fifty-year-retrospective

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. 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

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. 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. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:From spike trains to mice behavior: point processes in neurobiology
DESCRIPTION:Neurons\, the main information processing cells in the nervous system\, are complex analog computers which encode incoming information in sequences of point events called action potentials or spikes. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Health\, History\, Demography & Development (H2D2)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis paper estimates the value of a common form of political connections for firms from a policy shock in China. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Data Cleaning with R (A2DataDive Bootcamp)
DESCRIPTION:R (Statistical Analysis)\nTuesday\, November 8\, 12-1 pm in NQ 2185\n\nIn this session\, we will explore a “cookbook” of “recipes” for common data cleaning and wrangling tasks\, specifically geared toward preparing your client’s raw data for the data dive. We will specifically focus on using R/RStudio and a variety of common R libraries to execute recipes for merging datasets\, cleaning and rearranging text fields\, pivoting/reshaping data\, summarizing by groups\, handling categorical data\, creating indicator variables\, scaling quantitative variables\, and other tasks requested in the pre-bootcamp survey. If we have time\, we will also look at some quick\, useful exploratory data analysis tools in R.\n\n\nIf you are attending this session\, please share what your needs are by filling out this 30-second survey: https://goo.gl/forms/pnRpvzzLByAjJQPt1. Please also download RStudio before the session.  https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series  |  Can China Reform? 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Andreas Gailus Lecture\, \"Forms of Life\"
DESCRIPTION:The notion of “life” has become a focal point of study and dispute in diverse fields\, from political theory to ethics\, and from animal studies to aesthetics. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Religious Doubt and the Internet among Ultra-Orthodox Jews in New York\"
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores an ongoing “crisis of faith” among ultra-Orthodox Jews in New York that was blamed on the Internet.  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.  She is the author of the award-winning book Mitzvah Girls: Bringing Up the Next Generation of Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn (Princeton 2009) and has published numerous articles on Yiddish-English bilingualism and socialization\, New Age Jewish spirituality\, Occupy Judaism\, sex abuse\, and changing notions of media and faith. Her articles have appeared in American Anthropologist\, Journal of Linguistic Anthropology\, Contemporary Jewry\, The Immanent Frame\, The Revealer\, and Anthropological Quarterly\, among others. Fader has received many fellowships in support of her work\, most recently from the National Science Foundation (2014-2016) for her current book\, Double Life: Faith\, Doubt and the Internet among Ultra-Orthodox Jews (Princeton).\n\nImage courtesy of Tony Allen-Mills\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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Orthogonality Catastrophes in Quantum Electrodynamics
DESCRIPTION:The insertion of a small polarizable particle in an arbitrarily large optical cavity significantly alters the quantum-mechanical state of the electromagnetic field in that the photon ground state of the empty cavity and that of the cavity with the particle become mutually orthogonal and\, thus\, cannot be connected adiabatically in the infinite limit. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Colloquium Series
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  In this talk we introduce some geometric rigidity problems that ask if you can determine a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary from measurements taken from the outside.  The problems includes the boundary rigidity problem: Can you determine the metric inside if you know the distances (measured through the inside) between all pairs of boundary points?

SUMMARY:Other:THE DEAD MUSHROOM PIZZA KINGDOM SOCIETY
DESCRIPTION:He stared angrily at the ceiling. Sixty-four\, he thought. Sixty-four lousy visits and here I am again\, and what has it gotten me? Why am I even here? He remembered how it started\, how he had begun with so much hope\, with dreams of a healthier future. Why isn’t this working? I’ve done all the homework\, I’ve taken all the meds\, and it’s been months since I’ve seen him...why am I still so depressed?He started to count the tiles on the ceiling. Who am I kidding? There’s two hundred seventy-eight. There have been two hundred seventy-eight every time and there will always be two hundred seventy-eight! He paused\, now trying to think of a scenario in which there would be a different number of tiles on the ceiling than before. Hm\, maybe it wouldn’t hurt to count agai-“Luigi!”“Waaaaa!”“If you want to get better\, you’re going to have to focus!” His doctor was starting to dread these grueling appointments almost as much as Luigi was. “Now repeat our saying again.”“My name is Luigi\, and I always wear green. I'm just as relevant as Mario\, and I too make people happy. And there’s…um…”“…and there’s no one I’d rather be than me\,” the doctor finished. This was going to take a lot more time… Come gather behind the fondly familiar walls of our own dear Angell Hall as we discuss the jolliest topic of all: one's self-image. I hope to see you this Tuesday\, Nov. 8\, at 6pm in one of the open Angell Hall auditoriums (just follow the sweet smell of FREE PIZZA\, twice as savory as pizza with price). Please leave a guarantee of your presence by RSVPing with a meme concerning Mario\, Luigi\, or any other part of the Mushroom Kingdom.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. 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 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. 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. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Florence Flood\, November 1966
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit focuses on the destruction of Florence during the flood on November 4\, 1966. Among the collections severely impacted by the muddy waters were those in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze. Book conservators from the United States and Western Europe were called in to help with the recovery efforts. The exhibit features a British team\, headed by Peter Waters\, which created a washing-drying-mending-rebinding system to deal with tens of thousands of books damaged by the disaster.\n\nThe two most important outcomes of the tragedy are the professional training of library conservators and the establishment of disaster preparedness and response programs.\n\nLearn more and register for the symposium\, The Flood in Florence\, 1966: A Fifty-Year Retrospective\, happening November 3-4\, 2016. https://www.lib.umich.edu/flood-florence-1966-fifty-year-retrospective

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. 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

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Civil Rights in a Constitutional Democracy
DESCRIPTION:What kind of government structure do we have?  The Hon. Donald E. Shelton explores the nature of our constitutional democracy and how it affects our lives. \n\nThe first ten amendments to the Constitution describe several civil rights\, but how expansive are they and how much can the government curtail our rights to privacy and freedom?  We’ll focus on the balance that the courts have tried to strike between the duty of the government to keep us safe and the individual rights of its citizens. \n\nThis study group for those 50+ will meet for 90 minutes on Wednesday\, November 9.  \n\nInstructor Donald Shelton directs the Criminology and Criminal Justice Program\, UM-Dearborn.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. 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. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Opportunity in Michigan: Lessons from Leading Education States
DESCRIPTION:About the lecture:\nArellano will provide an overview of Michigan's education data and landscape\; what Michigan can learn from top-performing and high-growth states\; and discuss what are key opportunities and challenges for state leaders. \n\nFrom the speaker’s bio:\nAmber Arellano is the founding executive director of The Education Trust-Midwest. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:3500 characters vs. 26 letters: Efficient or Inefficient?
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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Medieval Lunch. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:Affine processes have been used extensively to model financial\nphenomena since their marginal distributions are very tractable from\nan analytic point of view (up to the solution of a non-linear\ndifferential equation). It is well known by works of\nDynkin-McKean-LeJan-Sznitman that one can turn this point of view\naround and represent solutions of non-linear PDEs by affine\nprocesses. Recent advances in mathematical Finance in this direction\nhave been contributed by Henry-Labordere\, Tan and Touzi. We shall\nprovide some general theory in this direction from the affine point of\nview and introduce stochastic representation of fully non-linear\nPDEs. \n\n(Joint work with Georg Grafendorfer and Christa Cuchiero)\n Speaker(s): Josef Teichmann (ETH)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:Banks' assets are opaque\, and therefore\, we model their true accounting asset values as partially observed variables. 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. Speaker(s): Jussi Keppo (National University of Singapore)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Seminar in Quantitative Economics (ISQM)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe review targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE)\, which provides a general template for the construction of asymptotically efficient plug-in estimators of a differentiable target parameter. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | The Capitalist Unconscious: From Korean Unification to Transnational Korea
DESCRIPTION:The unification of North and South Korea is widely considered an unresolved and volatile matter for the global order\, but this book argues capital has already unified Korea in a transnational form. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Author's Forum Presents \"DIY Detroit: Making Do in a City Without Services\" and \"Beautiful Wasteland: The Rise of Detroit as America’s Postindustrial Frontier\,\" A Conversation with Kimberly Kinder and Rebecca Kinney
DESCRIPTION:Kimberly Kinder and Rebecca Kinney read from their latest books\, followed by a conversation and Q & A.\n\nAbout \"DIY Detroit\": \"Stuck in a blighted city without basic services such as a bus line\, what Detroit’s residents are left with after decades of disinvestment and decline is DIY urbanism—sweeping their own streets\, maintaining public parks\, and boarding up empty buildings. 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.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:\"Objects Unveiled: Boxing\, Rolling\, Stretching\, and Cutting\" Opening Reception with Artist Mary Mattingly
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join us after artist Mary Mattingly's Stamps Lecture (5:10pm at Rackham) to celebrate the opening of her latest installation\, at the Institute for the Humanities gallery through Dec. 15.\n\nStudying the production\, distribution\, and use of Cobalt was the starting point for this exhibition. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mandolin Orange w/ sg My Bubba
DESCRIPTION:Mandolin Orange\, writes Ashleigh Phillips of Independent Weekly\, crafts \"simple songs that go beyond chord progressions and vocal harmonies\, leading somehow toward something pure. Using acoustic and electric guitars\, mandolin and a hand-me-down fiddle\, Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz allure with a heartworn sensibility.\" This North Carolina duo has shared stages with Rosanne Cash\, Chatham County Line\, the Steep Canyon Rangers and Abigail Washburn\,\" and they made a splash at the 2015 Ann Arbor Folk Festival. Mandolin Orange's original songs are drenched in a mastery of classic country\, blues\, and rock\, but they are both personal and contemporary. It takes genius to be simple\, and this young duo has that kind of genius. They come to Michigan with a new release\, \"Blindfaller.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. 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. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. 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

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. 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. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Staged Seduction: Selling Dreams in a Tokyo Host Club
DESCRIPTION:In the host clubs of Tokyo's Kabuki-chō red-light district\, ambitious young men seek their fortunes by selling love\, romance\, companionship\, and sometimes sex to female consumers for exorbitant sums of money. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Genesis and Collapse of a Bronze Age Center in the Maros Valley of Southeastern Europe
DESCRIPTION:Around 2000 B.C.\, the settlements of the Maros culture reached their widest extent across southeastern Hungary\, western Romania\, and northern Serbia. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra
DESCRIPTION:By the Auslander-Buchsbaum-Serre Theorem\, a singular ring has infinite global dimension. 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. Smith.\n\n Speaker(s): Greg Muller (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:We show that the Deligne-Mumford moduli space of genus 1 curves with n marked points is not unirational in characteristic p\, for n sufficiently large with respect to p\, when p>7. 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)

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).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThere is abundant evidence that having high-achieving peers generate positive gains on individual performance.  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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar: From traits to ecosystems: The leaf energetic and carbon economics bases of global plant production
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nTerrestrial plant production varies across climate gradients\, but the mechanisms driving this variation are a subject of debate. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology
DESCRIPTION:The mapping class group of the plane minus a Cantor set arises naturally in the study of group actions on the plane by homeomorphisms. 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. Speaker(s): Juliette Bavard (University of Chicago)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Athi-Patra Ruga: Queenz in Exile
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the border-zones between fashion\, performance\, and contemporary art\, Athi-Patra Ruga makes work that exposes and subverts the body in relation to structure\, ideology\, and politics. Bursting with eclectic multicultural references\, carnal sensuality\, and a dislocated undercurrent of humor\, Ruga’s work creates a world where cultural identity is no longer determined by geographical origins\, ancestry\, or biological disposition\, but is increasingly becoming a hybrid construct.\n\nAthi-Patra has exhibited widely including recent exhibitions at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art\, the 55th Venice Biennale\, The Brass Artscape in Brussels\, SFMOMA\, the Tate Modern\, and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Athi-Patra Ruga was also recently included in the Phaidon book Younger Than Jesus\, a directory of over 500 of the world’s best artists under the age of 33.\n\nAdditional events with Athi-Patra Ruga will take place at 7 pm on Friday\, November 4 at MOCAD (4454 Woodward Ave\, Detroit) and at 7 pm on Friday\, November 11 at Bona Sera (200 W Michigan Ave\, Ypsilanti).\n\nSupported by Performa\, the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD)\, and Chelsea River Gallery.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:What Do We Owe Our Veterans?
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)

SUMMARY:Performance:LACS Performance. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Divided Images: Fiber
DESCRIPTION:Jill Ault is an Ann Arbor studio artist working in fiber\, primarily quilts\, with a BFA degree in painting from Eastern Michigan University. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. 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. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Young IO Economists Conference
DESCRIPTION:Spatial Equilibrium\, Search Frictions and Efficient Regulation in the Taxi Industry Abstract:\nThis paper analyzes the dynamic spatial equilibrium of taxicabs and shows how common taxi regulations lead to substantial inefficiencies. Taxis compete for passengers by driving to different locations around the city. Search costs ensure that optimal search behavior will still result in equilibrium frictions in the form of waiting times and spatial mismatch. Medallion limit regulations and fixed fare structures exacerbate these frictions by preventing markets from clearing on prices\, leaving empty taxis in some areas\, and excess demand in other areas. To analyze the role of regulation on frictions and efficiency\, I pose a dynamic model of search and matching between taxis and passengers under regulation. Using a comprehensive dataset of New York City yellow medallion taxis\, I use this model to compute the equilibrium spatial distribution of vacant taxis and estimate intraday demand. My estimates show that search frictions reduce welfare by $422M per year\, or 62%. Counterfactual analysis reveals that existing regulations attain only 11% of the efficiency implied by a social planner’s solution\, while the adoption of optimized two-part tariff pricing would lead to 89% efficiency\, or a welfare gain on the order of $2.1B per year. The addition of directed matching technology to an optimized regime would increase welfare even further\, by approximately $2.4B per year.\n\nHow do Vertical Contracts Affect Product Availability? An Empirical Study of the Grocery Industry Abstract:\nProducers frequently provide nancial incentives to retailers in order to gain distribution for their products. These payments often take the form of vendor allowances: lump-sum transfers to retailers that do not directly depend on volume. To quantify the size of vendor allowances and their eects on product assortments and welfare\, I develop a framework to identify lump-sum transfers using only data on retail prices\, sales\, and assortments. Without making any assumptions about producer and retailer bargaining\, set estimates of vendor allowances are recovered. Additionally\, by assuming that producers make take-it-or-leave-it oers\, point estimates can be obtained. Lower bounds from set estimates imply that\, on average\, vendor allowances amount to at least 5% of retailer revenues. I apply model estimates to simulate how market outcomes change in the absence of vendor allowances. Counterfactual simulations predict that retailers fare worse\, product variety is reduced as retailers replace \niche\" products with \mainstream\" options\, but consumers nevertheless are better o. Small producers\, which oer high-velocity products\, increase market distribution and prots\, but\, absent marginal cost data\, consequences for large producers are uncertain.\n\nA Theory of Bidding Dynamics and Deadlines in Online Retail Abstract:\nWe present an equilibrium search model that parsimoniously rationalizes the use of auctions as a sales mechanism for new-in-box goods—a frequent occurrence in online retail markets—and analyze whether the existence of these auctions is welfare enhancing relative to a market consisting only of posted prices. Buyers have a deadline by which the good must be purchased\, and sellers choose between auctions and posted-price mechanisms. As the deadline approaches\, buyers increase their bids and are more likely to buy through posted-price listings. The model predicts equilibrium price dispersion even for new\, homogeneous goods. Using data on one million auction and posted-price listings for new-in-box items on eBay.com\, we find robust evidence consistent with our model. As predicted\, bidders increase their bids from one auction to the next\, equilibrium price dispersion exists\, and auctions and posted-price listings coexist. Fitting the model to the data\, we find that retail auctions increase total welfare by 1.8% of the average retail price if listing fees exactly cover platform costs\, but reduce welfare by 2.3% if listing fees are pure profit.\n\nInput Allocation and Downstream Market Structure: Slot Control in the U.S. Airline Industry Abstract:\nTo help manage airport congestion and reduce delays\, airlines operating at four U.S. airports must obtain from the FAA operating authorizations called \"slots\" to take off or land. Currently\, the FAA allocates the slots using the \"use-it-or-lose-it\" rule. Because of that\, the current system of slot control may inadvertently make these airports more congested as it creates incentives for the airlines to hoard the slots. The goal of the paper is to theoretically and empirically investigate the link between input allocation and the downstream market structure. I estimate a structural econometric model of airline competition. Using this model\, I recalculate the downstream equilibrium for a set of alternative mechanisms of slot allocation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Documenting Detroit - A Monts Hall Photo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Documenting Detroit is a collection of photographs taken by students from the College for Creative Studies during the 1970s and 1980s. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. 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

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Nam Center for Korean Studies Conference | Perspectives on Contemporary Korea 2016
DESCRIPTION:This conference\, Korean Families in Economic and Demographic Transitions\,” the sixth in Perspectives on Contemporary Korea series\, aims to bring scholars together to discuss how recent economic and demographic changes have affected parents and children in Korea\, and at the same time how changing family structure and arrangements have also contributed to recent economic and social inequality. In particular\, the conference invites scholars with both quantitative and qualitative approaches to Korean families. On the one hand\, quantitative studies can offer trends and patterns of changing Korean families. On the other hand\, qualitative research can explore subjective meanings\, perceptions\, and experiences of inequality and family changes beneath macro trends and patterns. In collaboration\, these approaches offer the opportunity for better understanding of changing Korean families and surrounding inequalities.\n\nComplete conference information: http://ii.umich.edu/ncks/news-events/events/conferences---symposia/perspectives-on-contemporary-korea/perspectives-on-contemporary-korea-2016---korean-families-in-eco.html

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. 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. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dance Master Class Repertory Series: Alexander Springer and Xan Burley
DESCRIPTION:This technique master class\, co-taught by SMTD alums Xan Burley and Alex Springer\, explores their collaborative body of work as the Median Movement. Warm-up attends to the shifting weight of the body at rest and in motion\, generating heat for endurance\, strength\, and stability. Class exercises work to develop alignment and intelligent corporeal engagement in preparation for complex material. Improvisation practices\, wherein we regard the body as a receptive vessel\, instigate authentic embodiment of both individual and collective creative identities. Class will include phrase material drawn from Burley’s and Springer’s current repertory.\n\nEach Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities. Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class.\n\nIn the final 15 minutes\, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist\, discussing their career\; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional\, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Dave Ogden will discuss \"Positive Attitudes Through Better Understanding: The Role of Perceptual Adaptation in Accent-Based Discrimination.\"\n\nAbstract\nIt has been argued that language\, including accent\, is one of the last domains in which discrimination is widely acceptable\, and that language discrimination is a “back door” to discrimination on other traits like nationality\, ethnicity\, and gender (Lippi-Green\, 2012). Researchers consistently find negative evaluations\, and even linguistic profiling\, of speakers and accents perceived as non-standard (see Lindemann & Subtirelu\, 2013\; Purnell\, Idsardi\, & Baugh\, 1999). Accent discrimination resulting from negative attitudes linked to stereotypes of social groups is well-recognized in sociolinguistic research (Dragojevic & Giles\, 2016\; Gluszek & Dovidio\, 2010). More recently\, researchers have begun to assess how perceptual fluency\, or the effortfulness that listeners feel in understanding accented speech\, affects attitudes towards speakers. Disfluent perception\, the experience associated with effortful information processing\, leads to negative emotions and attitudes toward that information (Alter\, 2013\; Alter & Oppenheimer\, 2009)\, and disfluent perception of an unfamiliar accent leads to negative evaluations of the speaker (Dragojevic & Giles\, 2016). Yet listeners have a robust ability to adapt to and understand highly variable speech patterns\, as shown by improvements in comprehension of non-native speech with listening experience (Baese-Berk\, Bradlow\, & Wright\, 2013\; Bradlow & Bent\, 2008\; Sidaras\, Alexander\, & Nygaard\, 2009). I will present pilot data for an experiment testing the hypothesis that adaptation resulting in more fluent perception will lead to more positive attitudes towards a non-native speaker.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CCG Technologies Seminar: \"Development and Application of a High-Throughput Assay for Homocitrate Synthase\, a Novel Target for Antifungal Drug Design\"
DESCRIPTION:Aspergillus fumigatus is a prevalent fungal pathogen that primarily infects individuals through inhalation of conidia\, which subsequently germinate and send invasive hyphal extensions throughout the lungs\, resulting in clinical bronchopulmonary and invasive aspergillosis. Individuals who are immunocompromised\, such as burn patients\, transplant recipients\, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy\, and individuals suffering from HIV/AIDS or other immunodeficiency syndromes\, as well as those suffering from chronic lung disease exhibit a higher risker developing aspergillosis. In addition\, asthmatics with fungal hypersensitivity are susceptible to developing allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis or severe asthma with fungal sensitization. Current antifungal therapies are generally unsuitable for the treatment of aspergillosis due to the toxicity and side effects associated with these drugs. These shortcomings underscore an urgent clinical need to develop new antifungal drugs that offer greater efficacy and a lower toxicity profile. One such target for drug development is homocitrate synthase (HCS)\, which catalyzes the first and committed step in fungal lysine biosynthesis. HCS is conserved in A. fumigatus\, but is absent in humans\, rendering it an attractive target for antifungal intervention. Further\, recent studies have demonstrated that HCS is essential to the bronchopulmonary virulence of A. fumigatus\, validating this enzyme as a novel target for antifungal drug design. The overall objective of this proposal is to identify and characterize HCS inhibitors that block the growth of A. fumigatus. Toward this goal\, we have developed a sensitive\, low volume fluorescent assay for HCS and employed this assay to conduct an in vitro high-throughput screen for small molecule inhibitors of A. fumigatus HCS (AfHCS) in the UM Center for Chemical Genomics. This screen has identified over 20 compounds that inhibit AfHCS with IC50 values less than or equal to ten micromolar\, which have been prioritized for testing in fungal growth assays using A. fumigatus clinical isolates. We envision that these compounds will yield chemical probes for studying aspergillosis in cell- and animal-based models and will provide a basis for developing new therapeutics for treating a broad spectrum of bronchopulmonary diseases caused by A. fumigatus.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminar | Causality and Universality at Strong Coupling
DESCRIPTION:Causality imposes constraints on the coupling constants in perturbative effective field theory\, which have played a role in understanding scattering amplitudes\, the a-theorem for renormalization group flows\, and higher curvature corrections in quantum gravity. I will describe similar constraints on strongly interacting theories. In one limit\, these constraints imply the averaged null energy condition\, which links causality to the inequalities obeyed by quantum information. Then\, in large-N conformal field theory\, I'll describe how causality tightly constrains the stress tensor correlation functions\, and points directly toward the emergence of Einstein gravity in the holographic dual.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SoConDi Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Moira Salzman will discuss \"South Korean language policy and the erasure of Jejueo.\"\n\nAbstract\nSouth Korea is considered one of the most linguistically homogenous countries worldwide\, and this image is promulgated by governmental policies\, the educational system\, and linguistic scholars.  In South Korean schools\, the majority of classroom hours are allocated to “correct use of the Korean language” (Song 2012:30) and popular television shows promote prescriptivist grammar and lexicon (Seth 2011:25).  In his oft-cited reference grammar of the Korean language\, Sohn (1999:12) writes\, “Despite [...] geographical and sociopolitical dialectal differences\, Korean is relatively homogenous\, with excellent mutual intelligibility among speakers from different areas.” \nHowever\, Jejueo\, the indigenous language of Jeju Island\, South Korea\, is less than 12% mutually intelligible with Korean (O’Grady 2015).  Jejueo is classified as critically endangered\, with 5\,000 to 10\,000 speakers all over the age of 70 (UNESCO 2010) and language use rapidly shifting to Korean.  The social and economic reforms of the New Village Movement in the 1970s created a diglossia on Jeju Island\, where Jejueo was prohibited from use in the media\, education\, religion and all official capacities.  Recent work on Jejueo language ideologies (Kim 2011\, Kim 2013) suggests that speakers maintain ideologies rooted in the former diglossia\, as Korean is used as a language of “distance and rationality” (Kim 2013).  This paper discusses the possibilities for Jejueo status planning and revitalization within the larger sociohistorical context of Korean language ideologies.

DESCRIPTION:In 1997 Hirota introduced a discrete dynamical system dKdV that lies conceptually between the classical KdV equation (a PDE) and the box ball system (a cellular automaton).  The most remarkable property of each of these systems is the existence of so-called soliton solutions.  I will describe a new variant on dKdV and explain what its solitons look like.  The system is built out of reduced word dynamics in the affine symmetric group\, with the generators enriched by weights that transform according to the Lusztig relation (a\,b\,c) \mapsto (bc/(a+c)\, a+c\, ab/(a+c)).  This is joint work with P. Pylyavskyy. Speaker(s): Max Glick (U. Connecticut)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWhat makes some strategy-proof mechanisms easier to understand than others? To address this question\, I propose a new solution concept: A mechanism is obviously strategy-proof (OSP) if it has an equilibrium in obviously dominant strategies. This has a behavioral interpretation: A strategy is obviously dominant if and only if a cognitively limited agent can recognize it as weakly dominant. It also has a classical interpretation: A choice rule is OSP-implementable if and only if it can be carried out by a social planner under a particular regime of partial commitment. I fully characterize the set of OSP mechanisms in a canonical setting\, with one-dimensional types and quasi-linear utility. A laboratory experiment tests and corroborates the theory.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Microbial controls on biogeochemical carbon cycling in marine sediments
DESCRIPTION:Marine sediments cover almost ~75% of the Earth’s surface and are one of the largest global reservoirs of organic carbon. Microorganisms play a primary role in the decomposition of organic matter in marine sediments. Consequently\, the activity of these microorganisms can have profound impacts on both local and global biogeochemical cycles. A major question in carbon biogeochemistry is determining what controls the accessibility or bioavailability of organic matter to microorganisms. It is not clear whether microorganisms themselves are ultimately controlling the degradation rate or whether it depends primarily on chemical and physical properties of the compounds and/or the depositional setting and sediment composition. In this presentation\, I will focus on new insights into the dynamics of organic matter degradation using novel isotopic approaches and explore how microbial metabolic potential can influence carbon mobilization in sediments

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biophysics Seminar: Prof. Edward R. Lyman\, University of Delaware
DESCRIPTION:Department of Physics and Astronomy\n\nAbstract: Your cell membranes are made mostly of lipids\, the class of biological macromolecule that includes fat\, oil\, and wax. This \"lipidome\" is a complex mixture of some 800 different types of lipid\, which changes with your diet and with the administration of lipid synthesis drugs like statins. Altering the lipid composition of a membrane changes its biophysical properties\, such as thermodynamic phase\, fluidity\, viscosity\, and curvature stress. Changes in biophysical properties may in turn affect cellular functions like signaling\, which often relies on the diffusive encounter of membrane-bound receptors. I will give an overview of the state of membrane biophysics\, with a particular focus on recent experimental breakthroughs which admit measurements of lipid diffusion with unprecedented spatiotemporal precision. I will then discuss our own efforts to use modeling approaches in collaboration with experimental colleagues to rationalize lipid and protein spatiotemporal organization in model membranes\, and our plans to extend these approaches to interpret recent measurements on live cell membranes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Kevin McGowan Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Kevin McGowan is an Assistant Professor of Linguistics at the University of Kentucky. He will give a talk titled\, \"Subcategorical mismatches can be mismatches of phonetic\, phonological\, lexical\, and social context.\"\n\nAbstract\nWe listen to the world through a filter of our own phonetic\, phonological\, lexical\, and social expectations.  In this talk I will present a pair of experiments that attempt to tease apart theories of listeners’ expectations and the speech signal.  In both experiments\, listeners made lexical decisions in a semantic priming paradigm.  In experiment 1\, long and short voice onset times (VOT) were paired with citation and fast speaking rates to examine the extent to which longer VOTs are more canonical cues to a voiceless stop —more likely to facilitate semantic priming— than shorter VOTs across speech styles.  The results of this study suggest that previous findings\, which argue for the superiority of long VOT in evoking word-initial voiceless percepts in English listeners\, are exaggerated by a mismatch between listener expectations established by a citation speaking rate.  Experiment 2 is a follow-up experiment that investigates whether\, as has been generally assumed\, artificially shortened VOT results in a voiced\, rather than voiceless\, percept for word-initial stops even when all other coarticulatory phonetic cues in the word might indicate voicelessness.  Listeners heard short VOT paired with citation speaking rates in words like ‘coal’ and made lexical decisions about either a voiceless percept consistent word (coal/mine) or a voiced percept consistent word (goal/score).  Surprisingly\, in this task\, artificially short VOT paired with a citation speaking rate word frame resulted in strong semantic priming for voiceless percepts and only weak semantic priming for voiced percepts.  Listeners are sensitive to the subcategorical mismatch in the stimuli\, but even a clear VOT cue does not override the constellation of other coarticulatory cues to voicelessness when long VOT productions are absent from the task.  The message of these experiments is that VOT\, while a cue to the voiced/voiceless distinction in English word-initial stops\, is neither a sufficient nor a necessary cue to perceive this category difference (see also Lisker\, 1996).  Use of this cue depends on social information in the speech signal (implemented here with speaking rate)\, lexical status of the word (whether it has a voiced lexical competitor)\, the relationship to other phonetic cues in the word\, and extrinsic comparison to other productions by the same talker.  I will argue that theories of speech perception and word recognition that do not take all of this contextual information into account during processing risk missing a fundamental property of what it means to be a human and what it is native speakers know when they know a language.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Distinguished University Professor Lecture: June Manning Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Mary Frances Berry Distinguished University Professor of Urban Planning\nCentennial Professor of Urban and Regional Planning June Manning Thomas will give the Mary Frances Berry Distinguished University of Michigan Professor of Urban Planning Lecture at Taubman College. As one of nine faculty members university-wide to receive this top faculty honor this year\, Professor Thomas is also the first faculty member at Taubman College to receive this prestigious designation.\nThomas is a pre-eminent scholar on how racial inequality and disunity have affected the planning\, evolution\, and redevelopment of cities and their neighborhoods. Her work focuses on economically distressed central cities\, addressing issues of planning theory and socialjustice. Her co-edited book Urban Planning and the African American Community: In the Shadows is a path-breaking exploration of key connections between racial injustice and urban planning. Redevelopment and Race: Planning a Finer City in Postwar Detroit won the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning’s Paul Davidoff Award for urban planning books published in in the area of social justice. She has written or co-edited three additional books related to race and poverty in Detroit and in other depopulated cities in the Midwest as well as dozens of book chapters and articles in scholarly journals. She also has written policy reports for the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan.\nHer recent research explores community development in Detroit and the 1960s civil rights movement in Orangeburg\, South Carolina\, where she helped integrate the local high school. Her research has been widely recognized by numerous academic awards including her election as a Fellow of the American Institute of Certified Planners. She is a prominent and highly effective national advocate for diversity and inclusion of under-represented faculty and students in urban planning academic programs. In 2013 she was named president of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning\, where she encouraged greater racial diversity in the nation’s urban planning schools.\nRecognized as an outstanding and inspirational teacher\, Thomas was a founding instructor for the U-M Residential College’s Semester in Detroit program\, teaching at the U-M Detroit Center from 2011 to 2015.  Her graduate course in planning theory is a defining experience for many graduate students\, emphasizing ethics and challenging students to consider how the planning process interacts with and affects disadvantaged communities without access to decision-makers. In recognition of her many contributions in the classroom and of her wider service on behalf of a more inclusive University\, Professor Thomas was awarded the 2014 Harold R. Johnson Diversity Service Award.\nThomas earned her B.A. from Michigan State University in 1970\, with a major in sociology. Awarded Danforth\, National Science Foundation\, and Woodrow Wilson Fellowships\, she entered the doctoral program in the Urban and Regional Planning Program at the University of Michigan\, earning her Ph.D. in 1977 with a dissertation studying the loss of land ownership among African-Americans in South Carolina. She taught at Michigan State University before accepting a position in 2007 as the Centennial Professor in the Urban and Regional Planning Program of the A. Alfred Taubman College Architecture and Urban Planning.\nAbout the award:\nEstablished in 1947\, Distinguished University Professorships recognize full professors for exceptional scholarly or creative achievement\, national and international reputation\, and superior teaching skills. Each professorship bears a name determined by the appointive professor in consultation with her or his dean. Manning Thomas chose to be named the Mary Frances Berry Distinguished University Professor of Urban Planning.

DESCRIPTION:Exploring the border-zones between fashion\, performance\, and contemporary art\, Athi-Patra Ruga makes work that exposes and subverts the body in relation to structure\, ideology\, and politics. Bursting with eclectic multicultural references\, carnal sensuality\, and a dislocated undercurrent of humor\, Ruga’s work creates a world where cultural identity is no longer determined by geographical origins\, ancestry\, or biological disposition\, but is increasingly becoming a hybrid construct.\n\nAthi-Patra has exhibited widely including recent exhibitions at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art\, the 55th Venice Biennale\, The Brass Artscape in Brussels\, SFMOMA\, the Tate Modern\, and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Athi-Patra Ruga was also recently included in the Phaidon book Younger Than Jesus\, a directory of over 500 of the world’s best artists under the age of 33.\n\nPresented in conjunction with Athi-Patra’s Thursday\, November 10 Penny W. Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series presentation at the Michigan Theater\, Ann Arbor.  An additional event with Athi-Patra Ruga will take place at 7 pm on Friday\, November 4 at MOCAD (4454 Woodward Ave\, Detroit).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sinking City\, Between Civilization and the Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Jakarta\, Indonesia has a serious problem with flooding. 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. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:All That Glitters: Magnificence in Art\, Architecture\, and Visual Culture
DESCRIPTION:Keynote speaker: Sally Cornelison\, Syracuse University.\n\nMagnificence has been expressed in any number of forms and for a variety of ends. Broadly conceived\, the word conjures up a diverse menu of associations\, including virtue\, splendor\, largesse\, and majesty on the one hand\, and wealth\, display\, and even decadence on the other. Often magnificence has implied expenditure on a large scale. The term suggests the confluence of materials and performance\, where public acts potentially inscribe on images and objects important social\, economic\, and power relations. The significance embedded in these relations varies depending on historical and cultural circumstances. While the related concepts of materiality and performativity have garnered much recent scholarly attention\, magnificence as a particular meeting point for those two modes of analysis has largely escaped art-historical scrutiny. The 2016 Graduate Symposium\, “All That Glitters: Magnificence in Art\, Architecture\, and Visual Culture\,” hosted by the History of Art Department at the University of Michigan\, will therefore focus on the visual\, historical\, and/or theoretical implications surrounding things made to impress.\n\nSchedule\nThe Space of Magnificence (9:40 am) \nPhilippe L.B.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Documenting Detroit - A Monts Hall Photo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Documenting Detroit is a collection of photographs taken by students from the College for Creative Studies during the 1970s and 1980s. 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.

SUMMARY:Community Service:STEM Saturday
DESCRIPTION:STEM stands for Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Mathematics. Our main initiative is to improve education in these areas\, especially targeting lower socioeconomic areas of Southeast Michigan. Each semester\, we hold an all day STEM event for high school students from school districts in the surrounding area. This event is an opportunity for us to teach the lesson plans and activities that we have been developing all semester as well as to expose high school students to the diversity of opportunities in STEM fields.  Students are brought to campus during this event via transportation that the club arranges.  Once here\, the students are brought to the USB (Undergraduate Science Building).  STEM club members then deliver 40 min to hour long interactive\, hands-on instructional lessons in Science\, Technology\, Math\, or Engineering related fields.  These lessons are screened ahead of time to ensure that they are engaging\, fun\, and collaborative.  They are designed to follow in the footsteps of Benjamin Franklin who said\, \"Tell me and I forget.  Teach me and I remember.  Involve me and I learn.\"In the past we have had lessons ranging from interactive science lessons with DNA\, to math related mysteries\, designing and customizing computer games through coding\, and car prototypes for engineering exercises.  Join us this semester and showcase your passion for your major by demonstrating all the cool activities and work such a job entails.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural\; the era of climate change\, the Anthropocene\, and altered ecologies. 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

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Nam Center for Korean Studies Conference | Perspectives on Contemporary Korea 2016
DESCRIPTION:This conference\, Korean Families in Economic and Demographic Transitions\,” the sixth in Perspectives on Contemporary Korea series\, aims to bring scholars together to discuss how recent economic and demographic changes have affected parents and children in Korea\, and at the same time how changing family structure and arrangements have also contributed to recent economic and social inequality. In particular\, the conference invites scholars with both quantitative and qualitative approaches to Korean families. On the one hand\, quantitative studies can offer trends and patterns of changing Korean families. On the other hand\, qualitative research can explore subjective meanings\, perceptions\, and experiences of inequality and family changes beneath macro trends and patterns. In collaboration\, these approaches offer the opportunity for better understanding of changing Korean families and surrounding inequalities.\n\nComplete conference information: http://ii.umich.edu/ncks/news-events/events/conferences---symposia/perspectives-on-contemporary-korea/perspectives-on-contemporary-korea-2016---korean-families-in-eco.html

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION OPENING: \"TRIPTYCHS\,\" TERRY SARGENT RETROSPECTIVE
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a strolling brunch as we celebrate the work of Terry Sargent.\nTerry Sargent’s concept sketches\, Barbara Ratner’s renderings\, and Jonathan Hillyer’s architectural photographs illustrating in evolutionary fashion their work in common on seven different commissions\, from initial concepts through built projects\, will be successively displayed—first at the College of Architecture of Georgia Tech and then at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan.  Atlanta was where Sargent practiced for much of his early career and Taubman was Sargent’s alma mater where he received his Bachelor of Architecture and Master of Urban Planning degrees.\nThe buildings exhibited will be taken from the years when Sargent served as Senior Design Principal of Lord & Sargent (subsequently Lord Aeck Sargent) from 1983 until 2014 and will be illustrated by 2-D physical representations and projected digital media. Written commentary by surviving collaborators will accompany each project. Drafts of three sketch/rendering/photograph “triptychs” are included at the end of this Prospectus which illustrate the character of display boards contemplated.  Organized by Jean Wineman and Christian Unverzagt.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. 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. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: TRIPTYCHS: TERRY SARGENT’S BUILDING DESIGNS IN SKETCHES\, RENDERINGS\, AND PHOTOGRAPHS
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition On View: November 12\, 2016 – January 6\, 2017\nTerry Sargent’s concept sketches\, Barbara Ratner’s renderings\, and Jonathan Hillyer’s architectural photographs illustrating in evolutionary fashion their work in common on seven different commissions\, from initial concepts through built projects\, will be successively displayed—first at the College of Architecture of Georgia Tech and then at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan.  Atlanta was where Sargent practiced for much of his early career and Taubman was Sargent’s alma mater where he received his Bachelor of Architecture and Master of Urban Planning degrees.\nThe buildings exhibited will be taken from the years when Sargent served as Senior Design Principal of Lord & Sargent (subsequently Lord Aeck Sargent) from 1983 until 2014 and will be illustrated by 2-D physical representations and projected digital media. Written commentary by surviving collaborators will accompany each project. Drafts of three sketch/rendering/photograph “triptychs” are included at the end of this Prospectus which illustrate the character of display boards contemplated.  Organized by Jean Wineman and Christian Unverzagt.
