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

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

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012315@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161110T121522 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161113T091500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161113T111500 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Berlin Philharmonic Residency: Ludwig Quandt\, cello DESCRIPTION:Cellist Ludwig Quandt leads this cello class.\n\nThe Berlin Philharmonic Residency is sponsored by UMS\, and the EXCEL Program.

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.

At the present point in time\, however\, left-wing ideas no longer hold the same degree of attraction for Jews as they did seventy five years ago. The intent of this talk will be both to explore why there were so many Jews sympathetic to left-wing causes in the past\, and the reasons underlying changes in Jewish political opinion. The relationship of Jews to the left\, Jacobs argues\, was historically contingent\, and cannot be explained\, as others would have it\, either by the purported characteristics of Jews or by the impact of Jewish religious ideas.\n\nJack Jacobs is a professor of political science at John Jay College and the Graduate Center\, City University of New York. He is the author of On Socialists and “the Jewish Question” after Marx (1992)\, Bundist Counterculture in Interwar Poland (2009)\, and The Frankfurt School\, Jewish Lives\, and Antisemitism (2015)\, and is the editor of Jewish Politics in Eastern Europe: The Bund at 100 (2001)\, and\, most recently\, of Jews and the Political Left\, which will be published by Cambridge University Press. Professor Jacobs was a Fulbright Scholar at Tel Aviv University in 1996-1997\, and served as a Fulbright Scholar at the Vilnius Yiddish Institute in 2009.\n\nImage courtesy of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research\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.

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

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

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

Please register to secure your place by emailing umma-program-registration@umich.edu. Please include date and title of program in the subject line of your email. Spanning the eighteenth to early twentieth centuries\, the Ernst Pulgram and Frances McSparran collection of forty-seven works on paper speaks to a tumultuous period in European history\, which saw the outbreak of the two World Wars and increased industrialization. On paper\, these prints\, watercolors\, and drawings by artists such as Piranesi\, Kirchner\, Grosz\, Schiele\, and Klimt depict the continent’s people and places with a focus on the physical and psychological human imprint. However\, these works also encourage a deeper viewing experience that engages with the expressive capacities of line and its ability to articulate the seen\, as well as the unseen\, such as larger socio-political\nand artistic contexts.

He's played for coins in the Paris subway\, and he's studied for the priesthood. His gift for profound storytelling songs drew him into the world of folk music. Richard Shindell champions the downtrodden\, exalts the disaffected\, skewers prejudice\, war\, and religious intolerance. He steps into and fully inhabits the various personalities his songs create—some of them female. In the words of No Depression\, \"Shindell tells great stories with an eye for critical detail while never losing sight of the big picture. He works a well-worn stretch of singer-songwriter pavement\, but his wonderfully spiritual lyrical sense and intimate compositions ultimately distinguish him.\" The Valley Advocate in Massachusetts has called Richard Shindell \"the thinking man's folk singer.\" UID:30960-3922937@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30960 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Music,The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

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

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

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012316@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160921T100144 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161114T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161114T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Of Love and Madness: The Literary History of Layla and Majnun DESCRIPTION:This exhibit offers a glimpse into the literary history of Layla and Majnun\, a romance of Arabian origins that exists in many poetic versions.

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

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

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

Since inorganic nitrogen availability commonly limits primary production in the ocean\, where and how much nitrogen remineralization takes place in the water column has important feedbacks on oceanic carbon dioxide uptake and carbon sequestration. Despite these important impacts\, our understanding of the factors that determine the magnitude and distribution of nitrogen remineralization rates is severely lacking. Recent molecular\, isotopic and biogeochemical advancements now allow us to study nitrification\, the terminal step in nitrogen remineralization and a significant source of nitrous oxide to the atmosphere\, with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. This seminar will focus on experimental and observational efforts to identify the primary controls over nitrification rates in nearshore waters of the central California Current System\, where upwelling establishes strong spatial and temporal gradients in the physicochemical and biological properties of surface waters.

The corresponding situation for parameter spaces of higher degree polynomials is much more complicated\; there exists a wider variety of parameter space configurations\, and the corresponding straightening maps are typically not as well-behaved. In this talk\, we will consider the tricorn\, the connectedness locus of quadratic antiholomorphic polynomials z^2+c. The tricorn can be viewed as a prototypical object in the parameter spaces of various families of polynomials/rational maps. Our main goal is to demonstrate that every odd period hyperbolic component of the tricorn is the basis of a \"baby tricorn\" (much like the corresponding phenomenon for the Mandelbrot set)\, but the straightening map from any \"baby tricorn\" to the original one is discontinuous. This is the first known example where straightening maps fail to be continuous on a real two-dimensional slice of a holomorphic family of polynomials.

The Austrian Connection: Internationalism\, Empire\, and the Interwar Origins of the War on Drugs DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines the emergence of the global regime of drug prohibition between the two world wars. The transformation of substances such as cocaine\, heroin\, and marijuana from lightly regulated medical products to strictly controlled and generally illicit goods was not\, as is often argued\, simply an American imposition on the world. Rather\, it grew out of the internationalist aspirations of the League of Nations\, founded at the conclusion of the First World War in order to create a more moral and peaceful form of global politics. The presentation will show how the League of Nations’ drug control system sprang from competing visions for global transformation in the aftermath of the First World War\, including British efforts to revitalize its overseas empire\, an Austrian program to build a new postimperial order from the rubble of the Habsburg Monarchy\, and an American project to transcend European empire in East Asia. \n \nDavid Petruccelli completed his undergraduate studies at Brown University and his PhD in history at Yale University in 2015.

The bias is known to depend on halo mass\, and this mass-dependence is sometimes used to constrain galaxy formation models and cosmological parameters. However\, such constraints are biased if mass is not the only thing which matters - a possibility which often goes by the name of Assembly Bias\, because the way in which a halo’s mass was assembled is known to correlate with its environment. I will discuss how the scale dependence of bias - which is generic - can be used to make progress even when assembly bias matters.

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

Ryff\, PhD\, is Director of the Institute on Aging and Hilldale Professor of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research centers on the study of psychological well-being\, an area in which she has developed multidimensional assessment scales that have been translated to more than 30 different languages and are used in research across diverse scientific fields. \n\nMore than 500 publications have been generated using her scales of well-being. Investigations by Ryff and colleagues have addressed how psychological well-being varies by age\, gender\, socioeconomic status\, ethnic/minority status\, and cultural context as well as by the experiences\, challenges\, and transitions individuals confront as they age. \n\nWhether psychological well-being is protective of good physical health is also a major interest\, with ongoing longitudinal investigations linking positive psychosocial factors to a wide array of biomarkers (neuroendocrine\, immune\, cardiovascular) as well as to neural circuitry. A guiding theme in much of this inquiry is human resilience – i.e.\, how some individuals are able to maintain\, or regain\, their well-being in the face of significant life challenge and what neurobiology underlies this capacity. \n\nRyff has generated over 200 publications in the areas described above\, and she currently directs the MIDUS (Midlife in the U.S.) longitudinal study\, which is based on a large national sample of Americans\, including twins. Funded by the National Institute on Aging\, MIDUS has become a major forum for studying health and aging as an integrated biopsychosocial process. She is also Principal Investigator of MIDJA (Midlife in Japan)\, a parallel to the MIDUS investigation\, for which she received an NIH Merit Award.\n\nHOSTED BY:\nKim Cameron\, co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations\; William Russell Kelly Chair of Management and Organizations\; Professor of Higher Education\n\nSPONSORS:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks University of Michigan Learning & Professional Development\, Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, Samuel Zell & Robert H.

In 1935\, Erdos and Szekeres proved the following: for any positive integer N\, there is a number f(N) such that f(N) points in the plane in general position has a subset of N points that forms the vertices of a convex polygon. Until this year\, the tightest known upper bound for f(N) was O(4^N / N^(1/2)). In 2016\, Andrew Suk nearly settled the conjecture by announcing a proof showing $f(N) = O(2^(N + o(N))$. I will outline the main ideas of Andrew Suk's proof.

In this case\, functoriality gives rise to a family of Tate classes on products of quaternionic Shimura varieties. The Tate conjecture predicts that these classes come from an algebraic cycle\, which in turn should give rise to a compatible Hodge class. While we cannot yet prove the Tate conjecture in this context\, I will outline an unconditional proof of the existence of such a Hodge class and discuss some applications. This is joint work (in progress) with A. Ichino.

We rely on error-driven learning mechanisms to construct increasingly accurate maps of our evaluative landscape\; and we use linguistically-structured representations to broadcast our commitments\, and to create shared understandings of the world that we inhabit. To increase the experience of social fluency\, we engage in numerous acts of supra-personal cognitive control\, to bring our individual understandings of the world into alignment. We teach one another to highlight particular aspects of our evaluative maps\, and to think and speak in ways that signal that convergence. Practices of exclusion\, oppression\, and marginalization can\, and often do stabilize around cultivated feelings of individual and social fluency. But feelings of disfluency can lead us to search for ways of revising our understanding of the world\, and they can lead us to help one another to find ways to shift our patterns of evaluation\, thinking\, and behaving. The trick is to figure out how to dealign\, so we can re-align\, in ways that will open up novel and transformative possibilities. That's no easy task—and I contend that it requires talking\, listening\, and walking together in struggle.

This North Carolina-born bluesman has been honing his craft for more than a decade. The son of classical musicians\, Seth grew up on a commune. He played the cello and switched to the guitar\, then to the blues\, after a DJ uncle introduced him to the likes of T-Bone Walker and Snooks Eaglin. The All Music Guide's J. Poet wrote that Seth \"uses the blues as a backbone for tunes that will equally please roots\, Americana\, folk\, pop\, and blues fans. He's a fine guitarist\, but his playing never calls attention to itself\; it's always placed in service of the song and the lyrics crackle with insight and subtle wit.\" Perhaps Country Standard Time said it best: \"If you subscribe to the Big Tent theory of Americana\, then Seth Walker —with his blend of blues\, gospel\, pop\, R&B\, rock\, and a dash country—just might be your poster boy.\" Seth was the MC for both nights of the 2014 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

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

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012317@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160921T100144 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161115T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161115T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Of Love and Madness: The Literary History of Layla and Majnun DESCRIPTION:This exhibit offers a glimpse into the literary history of Layla and Majnun\, a romance of Arabian origins that exists in many poetic versions.

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

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

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.

We evaluate the impacts of training in soft skills development on the workplace outcomes of female garment workers in Bengaluru\, India. We implemented a lottery determining access to the program by randomizing lines and then workers within lines to treatment\, which allows us to capture treatment effects and program spillovers. We find that despite a high overall turnover rate\, more treated workers are retained during the training period\; this difference disappears after training is complete. Treated workers are 12 percent more productive than controls. Within-team spillovers in productivity and task complexity are sub- stantial. Survey outcomes support the hypothesis that the program increased the stock of soft skills\, which raised workers’ marginal products. Wages increase by 0.5 percent after program completion. Pairing our point estimates with program costs\, we calculate that the net return to on-the-job soft skills training for garment workers is large – about 250 percent 9 months after program completion.

Bin Wong is Distinguished Professor of History and since 2004 Director of the Asia Institute at UCLA. His research has examined Chinese patterns of political\, economic and social change both within Asian regional contexts and compared with more familiar European patterns\, as part of the larger scholarly efforts underway to make world history speak to contemporary conditions of globalization. He is author\, co-author\, and editor of several books\, including \"China Transformed: Historical Change and the Limits of European Experience\" (Cornell University Press 1997) and (with Jean-Laurent Rosenthal) \"Before and Beyond Divergence: The Politics of Economic Change in China and Europe\" (Harvard University Press 2011)\, along with some one hundred articles published in North America\, East Asia and Europe. Since 2009 he has been a Distinguished Guest Professor at the Fudan University Institute for Advanced Study in Social Sciences. He also serves on the International Advisory Board of the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes and on the Berggruen Center on Philosophy and Culture Academic Board. As a scholar working in four languages\, Director Wong is acutely aware of the challenges of translation and comparative work. His decades of research on economic history and teaching in the U.S. and China have confirmed the necessity of studying development economics and political development in historical perspective in order to gain new insights.

This paper uses two ground truth samples to provide new evidence on the performance of four automated record-linking algorithms and two commonly used phonetic name-cleaning methods\, Soundex and NYSIIS\, in historical samples. Our results show high match rates for each algorithm\, but we document important shortcomings of each. First\, no method (including the ground truth) appears representative of the underlying population. Second\, the incidence of type I errors are distressingly high in samples generated by automated methods\, ranging from 19 percent to 81 percent. Third\, the use of phonetic name cleaning universally increases type I errors by 60 to 100 percent. Finally\, erroneous links are strongly correlated with baseline sample characteristics\, suggesting that systematic measurement error introduced by different automated linking methods could have substantial (and difficult to sign) effects on parameter estimates. As an illustration\, we show that different linking methods are associated with very different estimates of intergenerational income elasticities for the 1920 to 1940 period\, ranging from 0.33 to a statistical zero. We conclude with constructive suggestions for improving automated methods without using clerical review or genealogical methods.

Europe’s Crisis of Legitimacy: Governing by Rules and Ruling by Numbers in the Eurozone DESCRIPTION:Although \"Brexit\" and the refugee crisis have grabbed the headlines\, the Eurozone crisis also continues to be of major concern for the European Union. The EU’s comparatively poor economic performance and increasingly volatile politics have combined with its focus on \"governing by the rules and ruling by the numbers\" in the Eurozone to generate a crisis of democratic legitimacy. Prof. Schmidt theorizes about this legitimacy crisis in terms of problems with \"output\" policies\, \"input\" politics\, and \"throughput\" processes. She argues that in response to such problems\, EU institutional actors—ECB\, Council\, Commission\, and EP—all incrementally reinterpreted the rules and recalibrated the numbers \"by stealth\,\" that is\, without admitting it in their public discourse. To theorize about such processes of ideational innovation and discursive legitimation during the Eurozone crisis\, Prof. Schmidt uses the neo-institutionalist framework of discursive institutionalism. \n\nVivien A. Schmidt is Jean Monnet Professor of European Integration\, professor of international relations and political Science\, and founding director of the Center for the Study of Europe at Boston University. Her research focuses on European political economy\, institutions\, democracy\, and political theory. Recent books include \"Resilient Liberalism in Europe’s Political Economy\" (co-edited\, 2013)\, \"Debating Political Identity and Legitimacy in the European Union\" (co-edited\, 2011)\, \"Democracy in Europe\" (2006)—named in 2015 by the European Parliament as one of the 100 Books on Europe to Remember—and \"The Futures of European Capitalism\" (2002). Schmidt has been a visiting professor at LUISS Guido Carli University in Rome and at the Copenhagen Business School. She has also been a visiting professor or scholar at Sciences Po in Paris\, the Free University of Berlin\, the Free University of Brussels\, the European University Institute\, Oxford University\, Cambridge University\, and Warwick University\, among others. She is past head of the European Union Studies Association (EUSA) and sits on the advisory boards of the Wissenschaft Zentrum Berlin\, the Vienna Institute for Peace\, and the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (Brussels). She has published ten books\, over 100 scholarly journal articles or chapters in books\, and numerous policy briefs and comments\, most recently on the Eurozone crisis. Her current work focuses on democratic legitimacy in Europe\, with a special focus on the challenges resulting from the Eurozone crisis\, and on methodological theory\, in particular on the importance of ideas and discourse in political analysis (discursive institutionalism).

Rabbinic accounts of Roman conquest are saturated with sexual violence\, enslavement\, and the brutal corporeal cost of imperial ambition. Bringing disability studies\, gender and sexuality studies\, and feminist materialist theory to bear on rabbinic narrative\, this lecture argues that disability affords the rabbis a potent symbolic discourse with which to think through the ruin of Jerusalem. Yet even as the rabbis use disablement to expresses trauma and violation\, disabled figures also flip the conventional script of loss and vulnerability. At the same time that subjugated bodies bear the material costs of opposition to Roman dominance\, these very bodies can also become potent sites of resistance\, sites through which communities can critique colonial power—and articulate the subversive potency of dissident bodies that refuse to perform as desired beneath the imperial regime.\n\nJulia Watts Belser is Assistant Professor of Jewish Studies in the Theology Department at Georgetown University. She studies rabbinic Jewish culture in late antiquity\, with expertise in disability studies\, gender and sexuality studies\, queer theory\, and ecological criticism. She is the author of Power\, Ethics\, and Ecology in Jewish Late Antiquity: Rabbinic Responses to Drought and Disaster (Cambridge University Press\, 2015). Her current book project\, Corporeal Catastrophe: Gender\, Sex\, and Disability in Rabbinic Stories of Destruction\, will be forthcoming from Oxford University Press. A passionate lecturer and teacher\, Belser held a visiting faculty fellowship in the Women’s Studies and Religion at Harvard Divinity School and previously taught in the Religious Studies Department at Missouri State University.

I will discuss recent progress on understanding one such biological clock\, in the photosynthetic bacterium S. elongatus. This system has the remarkable feature that the core biochemical oscillator can be reconstituted in vitro with only three purified proteins. Thus\, unlike almost all other circadian clocks studied to date\, it requires neither transcription nor translation but functions entirely post-translationally. After reviewing what we know about how the in vitro oscillator functions\, as well as a few outstanding puzzles\, I will turn my attention to the implications of this understanding for clock function in the living cell. In particular\, I will argue that the core post-translational oscillator is necessary to make the clock robust to several perturbations present in any growing\, dividing cell\, but that other specific adaptations are also required. These include negative feedback on the transcription of clock components and the presence of several identical copies of the bacterial chromosome in the same cell. I will conclude by suggesting that\, far from being an isolated case\, the workings of the circadian clock built entirely on protein modifications actually point the way towards a new understanding of a number of other oscillatory biological systems\, which can all be thought of as examples of a new class of \"molecular synchronization oscillators.\" UID:34601-4967483@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/34601 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Graduate,Lecture,Physics,Science,Talk,Undergraduate LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161111T105931 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161115T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161115T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Africa Workshop: An Empire of Morals Revisited: Universalism\, Rights Talk and Cosmopolitan Imaginaries DESCRIPTION:Grovogui is a professor of international relations theory and law.\n\nTeaching Interests\nI have two discrete teaching interests. My undergraduate courses are strictly confined to themes in international and global politics that either highlight dimensions applicable to Africa (including their modes of differentiation\, hierarchies\, and the racial and regional axes along which they can be erected)\; or African contributions and elucidation on the central themes of global politics: international community\, sovereign rights\, global justice\, and moral subjectivity.\n\nMy graduate courses are more directly in line with my research interests in 1) International Relations Theory\; 2) Political theory and 3) African Thought.\n\nIn this latter instance\, my teaching necessarily involves examination of politics and political thoughts in light of advances in historiography\, ethnography\, and hermeneutics. I am not confined by disciplines. Rather the subject of analysis compels its own methodologies and modes of interrogation. I am therefore open to students and interlocutors interested in African-related themes from any number of philosophical\, literary\, artistic\, or political traditions with one proviso: that the end is to reflect on African contributions to global debates on the nature of politics in the national and global orders. With the support of a number of my colleagues (among them Profs. Taiwo\, Grant\, Hassan\, and Gaines)\, I hope to attract students interested in literary\, philosophical\, legal\, and political discourses bearing on African existence\, no matter the modes of polemicity and evidence. Our focus remains African reflections on the purpose of ethical life and moral existence associated with the African past and present\, most certainly modernity and its political\, moral\, and material economies.\n\nLanguages Spoken\nEnglish and French\n\nDEPARTMENTS/PROGRAMS\nAfricana Studies and Research Center\nGRADUATE FIELDS\nAfricana Studies\nGovernment\nResearch\nGrovogui is currently completing two manuscripts. The first (nearly completed) manuscript is titled “Otherwise Human: Human and Humanitarian Rights Traditions.” It explores modern idioms and languages that give expression to the ‘human’ as an actualization of moral choices and ethical commitments to others. In this regard\, it is deeply indebted to theology and ecclesiastic law\, modern idioms of the human as well as related languages of faculties\, capacities\, and rights received their assumed form between the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. Consistently\, it recognizes the role of the late-18th century and early 19th century revolutions in the US\, France\, and Haiti in giving constitutional substance to the idea of human rights through legal guarantees of association public freedoms (civil rights) and private liberties. Beyond the significances attributed to these revolutions\, this manuscript explores the extent to which their encoded freedoms\, rights and liberties informed social movements and cultural and political revolutions around the world. A central claim of this manuscript is that alongside the above traditions there emerge other discrete forms either in direct competition or as complement that nonetheless significantly bolstered the idea of protected human faculties and capacities. The Haitian revolution served as segue to my arguments in this second regard. It is my contention that Haiti revolutionaries belonged also to traditions of civil rights and civil liberties that arose directly from slave societies and extended to anti-colonial movements of self-determination. This traditions – and the related conceptions of civil liberties and civil rights – began with the establishment of Quilombo dos Palmares in Brazil (ca. 1605-1694) with Quilombolas’ attempt to define the terms of freedom and civil existence. I am drawn to Quilombolas' imagining of the terms of life\, the end of purpose of civil existence\, and corresponding institutions. It is significant in this latter that they ‘remembered’ Africa in manners that would also appear in anti-colonial texts. The purpose of the manuscript in this regard to re-open a number of questions\, often imagined already settled\, on modernity\, modern life\, and modern subjectivity\, alongside questions of universalism and relativism and the operations of time and space on the terms and norms of modern existence. Hence. The aim of the book is to bypass the instrumentalization of human rights discourses in favor of an inquiry into genealogies of conceptions of the human and protected faculties beyond the West that flow from the imaginaries and experiences of colonial and postcolonial populations (in the African diaspora) and thus shaped their dispositions toward and expectations of humanitarianism and human rights laws as they relate to the so-called responsibility to protect and humanitarian interventions.\n\nMy second book manuscript (furthest from completion) is the rubric of “Future Anterior: A Genealogy of International Relations and Society”. It examines the ‘past’ of international relations with particular regard to the identities\, values\, and roles of multiple agents\, subjects\, and actors in bringing about international society. While it extensively discusses the institutionalization of Western power\, interests\, and identity in IR discourses\, the project also makes a case for a separation of the historically expressed Western wills\, desires\, and subjectivities from those projected or embraced by other constituent members of international society. Specifically\, the project reconsiders the idea of ‘international relations\,’ particularly its manifestation as a field of study\, in light of postcolonial contestations of modern subjectivity and resulting identities and political economies. Related ‘findings’ are the bases for envisaging a new ethics as well as future political possibilities. The combined purpose of the two projects is to both broaden disciplinary conventions and bring to the fore ideas and intellectual resources of hitherto marginalized actors.\n\nFinally\, I have also completed a ten-year long study of the rule of law in Chad\, in the context of the Chad Oil and Pipeline Project\, funded partly by the National Science Foundation. I hope when I am able to turn my attention to writing up the project to use data opened in the concrete context of Chad to make significant observations on neoliberal applications of the rule of law in Africa as well as the place of Africa in the global political economy.

and Emerging Technologies DESCRIPTION:While conventional wisdom holds that new media technologies have enabled new forms of creative\, political\, and interpersonal communication\, these same technologies may exclude people with disabilities and others. As one door opens\, another may shut.\n\nPresenting research from her new book\, Restricted Access: Media\, Disability\, and the Politics of Participation (NYU 2016)\, Ellcessor argues that understanding new media technologies requires us to understand perspectives from the margins. Policies\, industries\, cultural norms\, and granular interactions have created a context in which Americans with disabilities are much less likely to be users (let alone creators) of networked technologies and digital media. This\, ultimately\, is a problem of access.\n\nThis talk will problematize the concept of \"access\,\" illustrating its many connotations in various policy\, academic\, and grassroots contexts. Ellcessor ultimately theorizes access as an intersectional phenomenon that is repeatedly and variably produced. Yet\, if access cannot be taken for granted\, how do we study it? How do we know who \"has\" access? How to we \"give\" access to those who may not have it? Using cultural and disability studies frameworks\, Ellcessor proposes research questions that prioritize the conditions surrounding experiences of access. She then uses these tools to explore digital media accessibility for Americans with disabilities\; technologies have both empowered and excluded these users\, and disabled users have\, in turn\, produced interventions that create access and challenge received wisdom about the value\, uses\, and role of new media in everyday life.\n\nElizabeth Ellcessor is an Assistant Professor of Cinema and Media Studies at Indiana University – Bloomington. Her research focuses on digital media\, disability\, media access\, and performances of online identity.

Geometric Quantization has had many applications in Mathematics and Physics. Nevertheless the main proposition at the heart of the theory\, invariance of polarization\, though verified in many examples\, is still not proved in any generality. This causes numerous conceptual difficulties: For example\, it makes it very difficult to understand the functoriality of theory.\n\nNevertheless\, during the past 20 years\, powerful topological and geometric techniques have clarified at least some of the features of the program.\n\nIn 1995 Kontsevich showed that formal deformation quantization can be extended to Poisson manifolds. This naturally raises the question as to what one can say about Geometric Quantization in this context. In recent work with Victor Guillemin and Eva Miranda\, we explored this question in the context of Poisson manifolds which are \"not too far\" from being symplectic---the so called b-symplectic or b-Poisson manifolds---in the presence of an Abelian symmetry group.\n\nIn this talk we review Geometric Quantization in various contexts\, and discuss these developments\, which end with a surprise.

Today\, Blue Rodeo is compared to no one. They are the standard to which other bands are now compared. Ever-evolving\, Blue Rodeo’s creativity has endured a lifetime of challenges\, and the band continues to make music that all Canadians can call their own\, and that has defined the idea of alternative country for the whole world. In 2014 Blue Rodeo hit the road and showcased their In Our Nature album with a lengthy tour across the country featuring two sets and almost three hours of music. Fans and critics alike were astounded by the muscle and passion the band continues to possess 27 years after the release of their debut\, Outskirts\, in 1987. Here's a rare intimate chance to hear a legendary presence on the Canadian and world scene.

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

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

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

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 UID:33962-4826185@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33962 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, 2nd Floor Hatcher CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161114T160844 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161116T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161116T100000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Causal Inference in Education Research Seminar (CIERS) DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWhile few measurable characteristics are correlated with a teacher's effectiveness at improving students' exam scores\, teachers do often gain in effectiveness as they accumulate experience\, particularly in their first few years of teaching. The distribution of teacher quality is already stacked against students of color and economically disadvantaged students\; if these students are also exposed to more teacher turnover\, this will only perpetuate inequities in the educational system. Using administrative data on teachers hired in Michigan public schools between 2004 and 2009\, we seek to determine what characteristics of schools\, students\, and teachers might predict whether a teacher will leave his or her first teaching job and for what type of new position\, if applicable. We begin with a multinomial logit framework in which we compare the probabilities of several different turnover outcomes against the base case of a teacher staying in his or her first job for five years\; we continue by using a survival analysis framework to look more closely at year-by-year transitions. In line with other studies of teacher turnover such as Boyd et al. (2002) and Clotfelter et al. (2006)\, we find that teachers are more likely to leave schools with more black students and more low-performing students\; we also find that teachers at charter schools are more likely to leave than their counterparts at traditional public schools.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012318@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161017T114223 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161116T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161116T180000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:50 Years of Civil Rights Leadership: A U-M Symposium in honor of Rev.

DESCRIPTION:The discovery of DNA has exposed awful errors in our criminal justice system. Almost 1\,800 people serving time in prison have been exonerated. Who are they and how did this happen? \n\nLast year alone five people on death row were exonerated while waiting to be executed. The Hon. Donald E. Shelton\, Director of the Criminology and Criminal Justice Program at UM Dearborn explores how these innocent people ended up in prison and what changes need to be made to prevent such miscarriages of justice in the future.\n\nThis study group for those 50 and over will meet for 90 minutes on Wednesday\, November 16.

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

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

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

Given their small size\, their effects on cosmological observables are negligible. We demonstrate that primordial axion stars can accumulate a cloud of baryons. Furthermore\, this cloud of baryons could reach a sufficiently dense state that it can burn axions and become hot. This leads to potential point source observables with a blackbody spectrum peaked over a range of frequencies depending on the axion star properties.

This lecture will discuss the processes behind the production of Lynch’s book and the events\, ideas\, themes and tropes that informed his vision of ‘Armenia’\, with particular emphasis on photographs and image-making practice. Often the images found in travelogues are considered organic\, neutral pieces of reality\, yet a close examination of their construction and deployment can help us to understand the role they play in the creation of a particular image of a place. An understanding of the manner in which the lens presents human geography\, natural landscape and the built environment not only allows us to comprehend a writer’s standpoint\, but in Lynch’s case it also acts as an enlightening guide as we consider wider practices of ‘dreaming’ the nation in the Near East.

Given access to the field\, those same transformations\, and many more\, may be performed with a computer and so hardware may be replaced with software. I will mainly discuss the application of this idea in optical coherence tomography (OCT) where we have replaced complicated hardware with physics-based algorithms to produce a high-resolution 3-d imaging system with infinite depth of field in a compact form factor. I will give examples of the method in use in biological systems and results from a recent clinical trial in breast cancer. \n\nBio: Prof Carney holds a BS in Engineering Physics from UIUC (1994)\, and a PhD in Physics from the University of Rochester (1999).

The joint equilibrium distribution of financial expertise and wealth then determines this asset market’s risk bearing capacity. Higher expert demand lowers equilibrium required returns\, reducing overall participation. In a dynamic industry equilibrium\, investor participation in more complex asset markets with more asset-specific risk is lower\, despite higher market-level Sharpe ratios\, as long as asset complexity and expertise are complements. We analyze how asset complexity affects the stationary wealth distribution of complex asset investors. Because of selection\, increased complexity reduces expertise heterogeneity and wealth concentration\, even though the wealth distribution for more expert investors has fatter tails.

Two series of examples appear in dimension 2n\, for every n>1\, and are related to the Hilbert scheme of points on a K3 or an abelian surface\; and in dimension 6 and 10 there is one extra\, or exceptional\, deformation class\, each of which was found by O'Grady. While considerable work has been devoted to studying hyperkahler manifolds belonging to the first two deformation classes\, not much is known for the exceptional deformation classes. In this talk I will present joint work with Giovanni Mongardi and Antonio Rapagnetta\, regarding the geometry of O'Grady's six dimensional example. By realizing these examples as \"quotients\" of another hyperkahler manifold by a birational involution\, we are able to compute the Hodge numbers and\, in work in progress\, also study properties of their moduli spaces/deformation class.\n Speaker(s): Giulia Sacca (Stony Brook University) UID:31032-4008631@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 4096 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161116T181657 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161116T161000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161116T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analysis/Probability DESCRIPTION:The problem of uniform tessellation of the unit sphere (or its subsets) by hyperplanes\, or equivalently\, almost isometric embeddings of subsets of the sphere into the Hamming cube\, has been raised in the work of Plan and Vershynin. It asks for the smallest number of hyperplanes\, such that the induced Hamming distance (i.e. the proportion of hyperplanes that separate the two given points) uniformly approximates the geodesic distance. The setup of this question naturally relates it to the so-called one-bit compressed sensing. In the joint work with Michael Lacey we adopt two new points of view on this problem. First\, we look at it through the prism of empirical processes and find that the bounds may be controlled in terms of the supremum of the \"hemisphere process\" (rather than the more standard Gaussian width).\nIn particular\, we establish one-bit analogs of classical results (e.g.\, the Johnson--Lindenstrauss lemma)\, which may be roughly summarized as: theoretically\, one-bit sensing is just as good as the standard compressed sensing. Furthermore\, we observe that the question of uniform tessellation may be rephrased as a problem about geometric discrepancy\, thus introducing tools and ideas from this field. This allows us to show that\, in the asymptotic case\, ``jittered sampling\" performs better than a random choice of hyperplanes.

DESCRIPTION:In 2012\, physicists at large particle accelerators such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) found evidence of the Higgs boson\, long predicted by the Standard Model in physics. Hooray! But since then\, they have yet to find evidence of other so-called supersymmetrical particles\, which theorists predict because they would help to explain dark matter and the \"unnatural\" mass of the Higgs particle. The lack of new particles is puzzling. If supersymmetry is out\, what then? If we discover no new particles beyond the Higgs boson with our huge accelerators\, is that a discovery in itself? Join us as we discuss this possibility\, which some popular articles have dubbed a \"nightmare scenario.\" Speakers include Dante Amidei\, U-M Professor of Physics\, and Aaron Pierce\, U-M Professor of Physics and Director of the Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics.\n\nScience Cafés provide an opportunity for audiences to discuss current science topics with experts in an informal setting.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012319@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161117T103549 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161117T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161117T113000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Maize Collective in Conversation with Machine Gun Kelly & Mod Sun DESCRIPTION:Maize Collective will be hosting Machine Gun Kelly and Mod Sun for a panel on recording\, mixing\, mastering\, and the music industry in general on Thursday November 17th from 10AM - 11:30AM in the Anderson Room on the Union.

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

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

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

The genre of the period is highly appreciated in Japanese art history. \n \nSince Japanese portraiture is not well known to English-speaking world\, he will discuss some of the basic aspects of portrait making in medieval Japan. They are: \n \n ・The Motivations for the Production of Portraiture \n ・Who Made Them? Who Owned Them? \n ・Formal analysis of Japanese Medieval Portraits \n ・The Formal Schema of Portrait Painting \n \nand he will examine how the artists of the periods presented the subjects following the visual convention of the day. \n \nMichio Yonekura is an art historian specializing in Japanese painting. After he received his MA at the Tokyo National Institute of Fine Arts and Music\, he joined the Tokyo National Research Institute of Cultural Properties\, where he engaged in research and study of Japanese art for twenty-five years\, serving as Director of the Department of Archives from 1998 to 2001. He then became professor in the Faculty of Liberal Arts at Sophia (Jōchi) University in Tokyo\, and taught Japanese art history there until 2011. He has been a visiting professor and given lectures on medieval Japanese portraiture and narrative painting at Heidelberg University\, Waseda University\, and Harvard University. \n \nProfessor Yonekura's primary field of research is medieval Japanese painting. By focusing on the visual representation of the subjects in portraiture\, landscape\, and narrative paintings of the 13th and 14th century (Kamakura-Nanbokuchō periods)\, he has sought to re-examine traditional master narratives of Japanese art history. His research has been published in books and articles on the iconic Jingoji portraits and illustrated biographies of renowned Buddhist monks. His main current research topic is the late 13th century Illustrated Biography of Ippen.

Many researchers have cited Chincha as a classic case of indirect rule\, but current research\, and research conducted by the Pisco-Chincha project in the 80s\, has demonstrated that it more accurately understood as joint rule. Due to the density of sites and rich ethnohistorical information\, the Chincha Valley has attracted attention from ethnohistorians and archaeologists alike throughout the years. The majority of this research has focused on costal sites due to the Chincha Kingdom’s involvement in prestigious long distance maritime trade\, but in order to understand how the specialist economy of the Chincha polity functioned in the Late Horizon\, the Proyecto de Investigación Arqueológico Las Huacas has targeted excavations at the inland agricultural center of Las Huacas. I will present research from excavations and an architectural analysis of Las Huacas\, and discuss plans for further excavations at Las Huacas in order to understand the administration of the site and the contributions that it made to the Chincha and Inca economies. I will develop this research alongside other models of Inca Imperial expansion that address the relationship between the expressions of Inca power and the institutions that supported them.

We obtain several transformation rules with respect to f^! and f_* for various classes of morphisms f: X \to Y\, e.g.\, for f smooth one has an isomorphism f^! \tau = \tau f^!. Part of the reason for working in this generality is that one has an equivalence with constructible etale p-torsion sheaves up to nilpotence of Cartier modules and these results further support the idea that the test module construction relates to etale nearby cycles similarly to the complex situation where multiplier ideals relate to complex nearby cycles.\nThis is joint work with Manuel Blickle.

The material strength emerges through the development\, once in contact with water\, of calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) gels that literally glue together the final compound. Current industrial research aims at exploring alternative and more environmentally friendly chemical compositions while enhancing rheology and mechanics\, to overcome the many technological challenges and guarantee concrete standards. Identifying the fundamental mechanisms that control the gel properties at the early stages of hydration and setting is crucial\, although challenging\, because of far-from-equilibrium conditions\, closely intertwined to the evolution of the chemical environment\, that are a hallmark of cement hydration. \n\nI will discuss a recently developed statistical physics approach\, which allows us to investigate the gel formation under the out-of-equilibrium conditions typical of cement hydration and the role of the nano-scale structure in C-S-H mechanics upon hardening. Our approach\, combining MonteCarlo and Molecular Dynamics simulations\, unveils for the first time how some distinctive features of the kinetics of cement hydration can be related to the nano-scale effective interactions and to the changes in the morphology of the gels. The novel emerging picture is that the changes of the physico-chemical environment\, which dictate the evolution of the effective interactions\, specifically favor the gel formation and its continuous densification. Our findings provide new handles to design properties of this complex material and\, with an extensive comparison of numerical findings for the hardened paste with experiments ranging from SANS\, SEM\, adsorption/desorption of N2 and water to nano-indentation\, we gain new\, fundamental insights into the microscopic origin of the properties measured. \n\nK.

These include chromatin\, a protein-DNA polymer that represents the functional form of the genome\, and amyloid fibrils\, protein-protein assemblies often associated with neurodegenerative disorders. Unraveling the forces and interactions that define the structure and function of such polymers is still a tremendous challenge for structural biology as it requires the ability to span many length and time scales\, and the capability to construct relevant samples that represent the complexity\, dynamics and multivalency of functional biological entities. In the first part of this presentation\, I will describe spectroscopic approaches based on solid-state NMR that were used to determine the atomic-resolution structure of a model amyloid fibril. This structure provides a basis for understanding amyloid fibril heterogeneity and their extraordinary thermodynamic stability\, characteristics with important implications in disease. In the second part\, I will present a chemical biology toolbox that allows the efficient construction of chemically well-defined designer chromatin arrays. Combined with H/D exchange\, NMR\, and fluorescence-based experiments\, these synthetic polymers enabled the investigation of chromatin structure and dynamics as a function of post-translational modifications such as ubiquitin. Our results suggest novel mechanisms of chromatin polymer decompaction\, with important implications for gene regulation and access to genetic information in the cell. \n\nGalia Debelouchina (Princeton University) UID:35680-5302717@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/35680 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161117T181658 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161117T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161117T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Differential Equations DESCRIPTION:For large classes of dispersive equations\, it has been conjectured that the solution will eventually break up as finite sum of solitons plus linear dispersion.

We use rich data from the Colombian manufacturing census\, which includes information on prices and physical quantities of all outputs and inputs of firms\, in conjunction with customs records on all import and export transactions of Colombian firms. Preliminary results indicate that exchange-rate movements in source countries generate sufficient across-firm variation in input usage to estimate production functions of Colombian firms\, and that our estimates differ from those of proxy-variable methods currently dominant in the literature.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nNatural communities are composed of a few common and many rare species. This pattern is one of the few universal rules in ecology and is especially pronounced in species-rich ecosystems\, where most of the species display extremely low \nabundances. Although there is a long-standing interest in this pattern and the \ndevelopment of ecological and statistical models\, there is still no consensus. Here I argue that differences between species and individuals in their phenotypes are \nfundamentally important for understanding the drivers of species abundance. I \nprovide evidence to support this argument from my research concerning patterns of species abundance in tropical tree communities. The work uses statistical models to interrogate species and individual-level trait information with respect to abundance in natural communities from Asia and the Americas. The results show that (1) the species and trait composition of plant communities is driven by a combination of opposing ecological forces acting on intra- and inter-specific levels and that this ultimately results in differential species abundances\; (2) The magnitude of the phenotypic variation in natural assemblages is variable itself across species and related with species relative abundance\; (3) Rare species tend to occupy the periphery of the functional space of local communities. Overall\, my results indicate that phenotypic differences are key for our understanding of how species-environment relationships produce differential demographic rates that ultimately drive differential species abundance. Furthermore\, ecological interactions occur at the individual level and considering individual-level trait information\, which is frequently ignored in trait-based ecology\, in the context of community assembly opens a new avenue of research for addressing foundational questions in ecology.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/5GE1q31A4jc UID:35308-5188037@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/35308 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Discussion,Ecology,Environment,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161202T123007 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161117T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161117T180000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Engineering as a Global Profession DESCRIPTION:\"Engineering is a global profession.\" Yes\, yes\, you may haveheard this time and again.

Topliss Eighth Annual Award Lecture \"Adventures in Cardiovascular Drug Discovery: New Frontiers and Lessons Learned\" DESCRIPTION:Cardiovascular disease is the largest cause of death and disability in developed countries. A common component of the end stage of these diseases is thromboembolic disorders which account for over 50% of cardiovascular related deaths. This large unmet medical need resulted in intense activity to discover and develop new antithrombotic drugs. Over the past few decades\, drug discovery directed at the treatment and prevention of thromboembolic diseases has been challenged by the need to balance robust efficacy with exquisite safety. Perhaps the most impactful advance to date in the area of oral anticoagulants\, has been the recent introduction into clinical practice of the new class of orally bioavailable small molecule factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors. At Bristol-Myers Squibb our efforts culminated in the discovery of Eliquis® (apixaban)\, a novel oral FXa inhibitor. This presentation will highlight the key learnings from the discovery efforts which led to Eliquis\, and applications of these learnings to the design of small molecule Factor XIa inhibitors.

She will touch on past work and influences to frame the context of her current interdisciplinary project\, called “Modern Beauty Ideals in the Age of Digital Technology or If I can K-Pop dance\, I’ll be part of your beauty revolution.” This work takes the form of photography\, drawing\, sculpture\, video\, internet art\, installation and social intervention to engage hetero-patriarchal global beauty ideals and accompanying digital technology from a transnational feminist perspective.\n\nLiving and working in Berlin\, Germany since 2009\, kate-hers RHEE was born in Seoul\, South Korea and raised in racially segregated working class Mount Clemens\, Michigan. She received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her MFA from the University of California- Irvine\, where she was a Graduate Studies Diversity and Jacob K. Javits fellow. Artist and Art Center Pasadena professor Tom Knechtel says of RHEE’s interdisciplinary practice\, \n\n“Whether she is trying to re-insert herself back into her birth society of Korea or jamming the culinary tropes of German society with Korean cooking\, revealing the underlying racism behind a much-beloved German treat\, or mining the double entendres in an image of two pug dogs\, she directly addresses the complexity of social and racial identities in ways that are funny and scathing\, all at once.” \n\nRHEE’s work has been shown nationally and internationally with recent exhibitions and interactive projects at British Museum - London (2016)\, Asian Art Museum - Berlin (2016-2017)\, Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (2016) Group Intervention Video - Montreal (2015)\, Künstlerhaus Dortmund (2015)\, Humboldt Lab Dahlem Museum - Berlin (2015)\, Korean Cultural Service - New York (2015)\, Berlinische Galerie - Museum for Modern Art (2014) and SOMArts - San Francisco (2014). \n\nShe has been honored with several residency fellowships\, including from MacDowell Colony and Millay Colony for the Arts. Her work has been recognised by the AHL Foundation - New York with the 1st Prize of the Visual Arts Competition (2014) and has been funded by the Puffin Foundation (2015) and the Berlin Senate with a Travel Grant (2016) and the Visual Artist Fellowship (2015). RHEE’s work was featured in the essay by scholar Mei Heberer in “Back to Myself: Negotiating German Belonging and Transnational Asianness in Experimental Video\,” in The Autobiographical Turn in German Documentary and Experimental Film\, edited by Robin Curtis and Angelica Fenner (2014).

We explore limit points of both densities for families of links approaching semi-regular biperiodic alternating links. We explicitly realize and relate the limits for both using techniques from geometry\, topology\, graph theory\, dimer models\, and Mahler measure of two-variable polynomials.

Most scholarly attempts to understand their meaning have adopted the perspective of elite viewers and have proposed various layers of potential significance that range from the mythological and prophetic to the cultic and nuptial to the social and theatrical. They also focus on the dominant figures: the so-called “Domina\,” “Bride” and/or multiple figures thought to represent the “Initiate.” With few exceptions\, such interpretations presume some kind of relation between the imagery and Greek antecedents.\n \nIn contrast\, this presentation considers meanings that the murals may have held for non-elite viewers—in particular\, the female slaves of the household. By focusing on those women who play various supporting roles in the visual drama depicted on the frieze\, and by assuming that a number of the cultic activities portrayed would have resonated with the work of daily life performed by female slaves in the villa\, this talk proposes that those household slaves identified with the women on the walls through the lens of their own experiences as slaves. Reading the Bacchic murals within this non-elite framework adds a new layer of potential meaning to these famous works of Roman art.\n\nReception 5:30 pm\, Lecture 6:00 pm.\n\nFAST lectures are free and open to the public.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012320@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160926T123039 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161118T091500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161118T153000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Apply to the Leo Burnett Immersion!

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

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

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

David is a highly successful technology business executive with an incredible entrepreneurial journey and amazing success in corporate R&D\, technology business startup\, and social entrepreneurship. He began his professional career as a Member of Technical Staff and Group Supervisor at the legendary AT&T Bell Laboratories. In 1983\, David launched Telecom Analysis Systems\, Inc.\, a high-tech telecommunications instrumentation business. He sold that company twelve years later for $30 million and then\, working as Group President for the buyer\, built a telecommunications business with a market value in excess of $2 billion.\n\nDavid left the corporate sector in 1999 with a hunger for community service. In 2001\, he founded the Red Bank Education and Development Initiative\, a community-based not-for-profit organization that catalyzed dramatic improvements in academic performance and opportunities for children in Red Bank\, New Jersey. David has served on numerous civic and nonprofit boards—including the Board of Education in Red Bank\, New Jersey\; the National Advisory Committee for the University of Michigan (U-M) College of Engineering\; the National Commission on NAEP 12th Grade Assessment and Reporting\; the U-M Alumni Association board of directors and several other civic and not-for-profit organization boards.

To balance a two-body career\, I left Howard to join the Science and Technology Division at Corning Incorporated. There I continued my fiber-optic research though the inflation of the telecom industrial bubble and extended Corning’s fiber-optic output power capabilities from mW to kW after the bubble burst. I also spent time in a global customer-facing technology role to help launch Gorilla glass— where I participated in the product’s revenue growth from $20 million to >$1B. Most recently\, I was appointed the director for Corning’s West Coast Technology Center in Silicon Valley.

It is an ODE in the true sense of defining a vector field which is (globally) Lipschitz. In this talk we focus on one type of determining form where solutions on the global attractor of the PDE are identified as steady states of the form. This determining form is related to data assimilation by feedback nudging\, which is one way to inject a coarse-grain time series into the model in order to recover the matching full solution. We show that for a given initial trajectory\, the dynamics of this determining form reduces to that of a one-dimensional ODE. We prove lower bounds on the rates of convergence to trajectories in the attractor of the original system\, and demonstrate numerically that they are achieved. Applications have been made to the 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes\, damped-driven nonlinear Schroedinger\, damped-driven Korteweg-de Vries and surface quasigeostrophic equations.

Wholesale electricity markets exhibit two basic forms of organization: the decentralized bilateral trading market and the centralized auction market. While the centralized market may improve efficiency through information aggregation\, it may also reduce efficiency by exacerbating the incentive faced by market participants to exercise market power. Taking advantage of Texas’ transition from a decentralized to a centralized market\, I show that the informational effect dominates the effect of market power. Using detailed data on generation quantity\, I find high-cost generators were displaced by low-cost generators in production. In the nine months following the transition\, the total generation cost was reduced by $30.7 million\, relative to the counterfactual. Although the centralized market led to private cost saving\, it also had an unintended effect on emissions. For moderate estimates of marginal damages\, the increased external costs of emissions completely offset the productive efficiency gain.

Not only is manganese essential for producing oxygen\, but manganese oxides are also incredibly diagnostic for the presence of environmental oxygen. Thus the history of manganese oxidation recorded in the geologic record provides a valuable perspective on our planet’s environmental past\, the ancient availability of oxygen\, and the evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis. I will present analyses on manganese minerals in the rock record using microscale techniques to extract primary geochemical signals and process-based laboratory experiments measuring microbial mineral products to interpret ancient geobiological signals. This talk will demonstrate how the evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis and the activity of metal oxide-reducing metabolisms are linked to and recorded in the rich complexity of the manganese mineralogical record.

Kelly\, Wayne State University DESCRIPTION:Department of Physics & Astronomy\n\nAbstract:\nMany essential biological processes depend on the interaction of lipids\, proteins\, and carbohydrates at length scales that are unresolvable by conventional optical microscopes. We are developing novel optical methods to elucidate the interdependence of molecular organization\, lipid phase\, and membrane curvature. With near-field fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy\, we have resolved the single-molecule cross-linking of membrane proteins in the initial stage of an immunological response on living cells. With polarized localization microscopy\, we have measured membrane curvature as small as 20 nm radii of curvature and correlated molecular reorganization. Recently\, \nwe have discovered that cholera toxin subunit B self-assembles to form nanoscale membrane buds in quasi-one component bilayers to facilitate its immobilization and internalization into cells. We will discuss the physics of these optical methods and what they have taught us about the biophysics of membranes.

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.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012321@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161018T153054 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20161119T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20161119T220000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:23rd Ann Arbor Polish Film Festival DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Polish Cultural Fund - Ann Arbor.

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

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

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

Their full-length debut\, \"The Stray Birds\,\" was lauded by radio stations and listeners across the country and named to the Top 10 Folk/Americana Releases of the year by NPR\, and they come to Michigan with a compelling new release\, \"Magic Fire.\" This is a young trio with a unique vision married to a deep reverence for song.
