SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Performance:Gemini
DESCRIPTION:An Ark show by Gemini is a Thanksgiving weekend family tradition in Michigan! Gemini is the much-loved duo of Sandor and Laszlo Slomovits. They've been performing since 1973 and are now playing music for the third—or is it fourth?—generation of young fans and families. They write and perform acoustic music for children and families\, celebrating with their audiences the warmth\, fun\, and joy of family life. A Gemini concert is a kinetic event\, filled with rousing singalongs\, hand motion tunes\, folk tales\, and music from around the world. \"If the Pied Piper had been twins\, chances are he would have been Gemini\,\" says the Detroit News. Since 1979 San and Laz have released numerous recordings for adults and children and families. These recordings have won a number of awards including ones from Parents' Choice Magazine\, the American Library Association\, the National Parenting Publications (NAPPA)\, and the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Performance:Billy Strings
DESCRIPTION:Incendiary American roots guitarist Billy Strings taps into the vein of the earliest bluegrass music\, back when bluegrass was a rough-and-tumble art form pouring out of the Appalachian mountains\, made with great virtuosity and huge attitude. And he brings it into the present day with incredible musical intensity. Drenched in sweat\, grimacing like a banshee\, howling like a bluegrass berserker\, and picking with such ferocity that he’s been known to break three strings in one song\, 23-year-old guitarist and singer Billy Strings could have tumbled out of coal country in the old mountains\, tattoos and all\, but actually hails from Michigan. In each show\, he seems to try to break through to new levels of musicianship. Billy has relocated from Michigan to Nashville\, formed a new band\, and has been working on original songs to match his his incredible instrumental talent. Come welcome him back to the Mitten!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Divided Images: Fiber
DESCRIPTION:Jill Ault is an Ann Arbor studio artist working in fiber\, primarily quilts\, with a BFA degree in painting from Eastern Michigan University. Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph\, a graphic design or a painting. She digitally prints variations of the image on fabric and divides the copies into many small squares (no two alike). When she carefully reassembles and sews together the squares\, parts of the image seem to move across and down the surface of the quilt. Ault exhibits nationally at fiber and quilt shows\, such as Quilt National in Athens\, Ohio and Fiberart International in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Technology Adoption in the Community
DESCRIPTION:Joyojeet Pal\, U-M School of Information\, discusses the challenges that touchsreens present to users with visual impairments in India. He describes interface management issues for smartphones and situates them within the socio-cultural issues around disability and accessibility in contemporary urban India.\n\nSwitching from keypad-based phones that offer tactile feedback\, to gesture-based smartphones that individuals interface with through touchscreens present a significant learning curve as well as a number of continuing challenges for people with visual impairments. As keypad-based phones are slowly phased out of production\, smartphone adoption is no longer a choice -- it is enforced by markets. New users rely on a range of institutional and community resources to adopt these technologies and deal with ongoing troubleshooting. Yet these resources may not always be easily available in various parts of the world where smartphones are still expensive for the average citizen.\n\nEmergent Research events are aimed at better understanding the various types of research undertaken across campus\, particularly as they relate to library services and support\, opportunities for collaboration\, data management and preservation\, and beyond.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology
DESCRIPTION:Given a group G\, and a manifold M\, can one describe all the ways that G acts on M?  This is a remarkably rich question even in the case where M is the line or the circle\, and is connected to problems in dynamics\, topology\, and foliation theory.   \nThis talk will describe one very useful way to capture such an action\, namely\, through the algebraic data of a left-invariant linear or circular order on a group.   I'll explain new work\, joint with C. Rivas\, that relates the topology of the space of orders on a group G to the moduli space of actions of G on the line or circle.  As an application we'll see new rigidity phenomena for actions\, and the answers to some older questions about orderings. Speaker(s): Kathryn Mann (UC Berkeley)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nDifferences in individuals' social identity have recently been shown to explain differences in behavior. But where do differences in social identity come from? Theory claims that identification allows people to affect their social identity by choosing who they are. Accordingly\, this paper treats social identity as a choice and analyzes its behavioral effects. We find identification to be systematically related to behavioral heterogeneity in group-specific social preferences. In a first step\, we measure identification preferences using a revealed preference approach in a laboratory experiment. Confirming social identity theory\, participants reveal a stronger identification preference for groups that have a higher social status and to which they have a smaller social distance. In a second step\, we analyze how identification affects subsequent behavior. Between- as well as within-subject heterogeneity in identification preferences explains corresponding heterogeneity in group-specific dictator games. Overall\, our paper documents the importance of identification as a choice and its relevance for explaining the frequently observed heterogeneity in identity-related behavior.

SUMMARY:Other:Biochemical and Biophysical Mechanisms of Telomerase Recruitment to Telomeres 
DESCRIPTION:Human chromosomes end in telomeres\, repetitive DNA sequences that serve as a buffer to protect the coding material of the genome. During DNA replication telomeres shrink due to the end replication problem\, leading to cell-cycle arrest when telomeres reach a critical length. This arrest provides an important barrier against cancer formation by limiting the number of division human cells can undergo. In stem cells and 90% of cancer cells the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) telomerase counteracts telomere shrinkage\, allowing these cell types to divide indefinitely. Telomerase is a reverse transcriptase that adds telomeric repeats to the chromosome end by copying them from a template contained in its RNA subunit. Recruitment of telomerase to telomeres occurs in S-phase of the cell cycle but the molecular mechanism of the process is only partially understood. Using biochemical\, biophysical\, and cell biological approaches in combination with genome editing I have defined the protein-protein interface required for telomerase recruitment to telomeres. Furthermore\, live cell single-molecule imaging of telomerase revealed that telomerase monitors telomeres by forming frequent\, short protein-protein interactions with telomeres. Only rarely are these brief interactions converted into stable\, long lasting interactions consistent with telomere elongation. These observations explain how a small pool of telomerase RNPs can maintain all telomeres. Finally\, using zero mode waveguides\, I have developed a single molecule assay to study the telomerase catalytic cycle. Together\, these approaches will allow me to provide a comprehensive picture of telomerase mediated telomere maintenance\, hopefully leading to new strategies to prevent telomerase action in cancer cells.\n\nJens Schmidt (University of Colorado Boulder)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Complex Analysis\, Dynamics and Geometry
DESCRIPTION:Strictly convex Hilbert geometries naturally generalize constant negatively curved Riemannian geometries\, and the geodesic flow on quotient manifolds has been well-studied by Benoist\, Crampon\, Marquis\, and others. In contrast\, nonstrictly convex Hilbert geometries in three dimensions have the feel of nonpositive curvature\, but also have a fascinating geometric irregularity which forces the geodesic flow to avoid direct application of existing nonuniformly hyperbolic theory. In this talk\, we present our approach to studying the geodesic flow in this setting\, culminating in a measure of maximal entropy which is ergodic for the geodesic flow. Speaker(s): Sarah Bray (UM)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Special Seminar: Causes and consequences of long-distance movement
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nMovement is a fundamental characteristic of organisms: individuals move to locate resources and to avoid unfavorable conditions. The resulting patterns can span a range of spatial and temporal scales\, and have consequences not only for the spatial distribution of a population but also for its demographic\, social and genetic structure. In this talk\, I will present my research on two of the longer forms of organismal movement: round-trip migration and one-way dispersal. In particular I consider what ultimate factors drive long-distance movement\, and what consequences movement has for both individuals and populations. In my work I use primarily theoretical approaches (a combination of analytic models\, and numerical and individual-based simulations)\, although always driven by the goal of gaining a deeper insight into the underlying biology.\n\nLight refreshments will be served at 4 p.m.

DESCRIPTION:In the first half I will start with an informal introduction to Gromov-Witten invariants. In a joint work with Y.P. Lee and motivated by the crepant transformation conjecture for ordinary flops\, we discovered that Gromov-Witten invariants of a projective bundle are uniquely determined by those of the base and the Chern classes under certain conditions. I will state this as well as a preceeding result. In the second half\, I will sketch our approaches\, and discuss some observations along with further ideas. Speaker(s): Honglu Fan (Utah)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Combinatorics Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Payne and Thullier independently have defined a canonical compactification of rational polyhedral cones\, called extended rational polyhedral cones. We use \"pointed\" monoids\, monoids with an absorbing element\, to study extended rational polyhedral cones. The equivalence of toric monoids and rational polyhedral cones from previous results in toric geometry allow us to extend the equivalence to these more recently defined objects. This also allows us to explore affine toric varieties with new morphisms and constructions built from these extended cones and pointed monoids rather than their non-compact and unpointed analogs.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Group\, Lie and Number Theory
DESCRIPTION:We show that de Rham cohomology sheaves of a smooth non-Archimedean space have a functorial decomposition through local weights. In particular\, this answers a question raised by Berkovich for 1-forms. We also reveal a connection between de Rham cohomology sheaves and the (bi)complex of sheaves of real forms defined by Chambert-Loir and Ducros via tropical charts. As an application\, we show that integrations of closed real forms on an algebraic cycle vanish if the cycle is cohomologically trivial (in algebraic de Rham cohomology).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM - AMO Graduate Student Seminar | A Quick Review of Field Theory in Fermionic Systems and the Rise of Non-Linear Sigma Model
DESCRIPTION:I will first review what are metals and insulators for free fermion systems. By applying the linear response theory to both systems we can calculate experimentally measurable quantities\, among which are d.c. conductivity for metals and quantized Hall conductivity for insulators. Then starting with Anderson orthogonality catastrophe (AOC)\, I will talk about the differences and relations between free and interacting Fermionic systems. At last\, I will apply mean field theory to Landau Fermi-liquid theory with perfect nesting and show that spin density wave (SDW) state arises. The fluctuation of such a state could be described by non-linear sigma model.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Promoting Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion at Two Major Research Universities
DESCRIPTION:Kenneth I. Maton\, Professor of Psychology and Affiliate Professor of Public Policy at University of Maryland\, Baltimore County is nationally known for his program evaluation expertise\, particularly related to science and mathematics intervention programs at the college level that focus on underrepresented student communities. He is the lead evaluator for the widely renown Meyerhoff Scholars Program. The primary emphasis of the Meyerhoff program is to increase the number of underrepresented minority scientists and biomedical researchers. This multifaceted\, strengths-based approach to intervention and research has made great strides in increasing the number of African American students who earn PhDs or MD/PhDs and pursue research careers in biomedical science.\n\nDuring this session\, Dr. Maton will discuss a major diversity\, equity and inclusion partnership between the University of Maryland\, Baltimore County (UMBC)\, Pennsylvania State University (PSU)\, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC).\n\nThis innovative project builds upon lessons from the exemplary UMBC Meyerhoff Scholars Program to develop inclusive high-achieving undergraduate programs at UNC and PSU that promote diversity\, equity\, and institutional transformation. \n\nSponsored by:\nGrowing STEM: Pipelines\, Collaborations and Pedagogies for Diversity & Inclusion at Michigan with support from the College of Engineering\, LSA\, National Center for Institutional Diversity\, Medical School\, Center for Educational Outreach\, and the Office of the Vice Provost for Equity\, Inclusion and Academic Affairs.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Health\, History\, Demography and Development (H2D2)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act state Medicaid expansions have been found to increase insurance coverage and access to care\, but the question remains whether these expansions relieve the burden of out-of-pocket costs associated with obtaining medical care and in turn improve health outcomes.  This paper considers the extent to which these expansions have alleviated this burden and have impacted health outcomes for non-elderly low-income adults using data from the 2011-2016 Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement covering the 2010-2015 calendar years.  Using a difference-in-differences framework\, the analysis examines effects of the Medicaid expansions for out-of-pocket expenditures on health insurance premiums and medical care as well as on reported health\, comparing expenditures across expansion and non-expansion states before and after the expansions were implemented.  The analysis examines whether the expansions had different effects over the short and longer terms by comparing effects in the first and second years of their implementation.  The findings show that the expansions were associated with increases in the likelihoods of having zero premium expenditures and non-premium medical out-of-pocket expenditures\, suggesting the expansions were effective in improving financial well-being.  The findings further show that the expansions were associated with a decrease in the likelihood of reporting excellent or very good health.  Taken together with evidence from other studies that the expansions were associated with an increase in the use of preventative care and diagnosis of medical conditions\, the findings of this analysis suggest the decline in reported health comes about not from a decline in utilization of care\, but rather\, changes in perceptions of health associated with increased utilization.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Biopsychology Colloquium Series
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Neural circuits underlying the invigoration of reward-seeking\n\nAbstract: \nCues in our environment can gain the ability to powerfully influence our decision making and behavior. Importantly\, the degree to which these cues are powerful\, and the nature of the behaviors that they generate\, is modulated by changes in our physiological and affective state. In particular I am interested in defining the neural systems underlying the incentive motivational properties of cues\, that is\, their ability to elicit and invigorate reward seeking actions\, and in determining the degree to which signaling in these circuits represents a common mechanism for the invigoration of reward seeking\, and the influence of changes in state. Most recently\, I have focused my investigation of these properties on the rat ventral pallidum\, where I found robust encoding of cue-elicited reward seeking vigor. By parsing the contributions of specific inputs to the ventral pallidum to this encoding I hope to reveal the neural and psychological building blocks of this incentive motivational signal. Additionally\, by assessing changes in neural encoding of cue-elicited reward seeking across states that influence reward seeking\, such as physiological need\, withdrawal or stress\, I aim to reverse engineer the neural circuits that contribute to exaggerated motivation under these conditions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Violence in East Asian Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:The principle of nonviolence occupies a central place in Buddhist tradition. It is perhaps for this reason that individuals both within and outside the academy regularly contrast it with purportedly more “violent” world religions\, asserting that Buddhism has had no institutional involvement in conflicts akin to the crusades or jihad. Against this highly romanticized vision of the tradition\, Buddhist monastics have turned out to have interacted with lay people in almost every conceivable way — including violence. This talk aims to throw light on East Asian Buddhism’s involvement in warfare and other forms of violence.\n\nJinhua Chen was trained as a historian of religions\, with a focus on East Asian Buddhism. After receiving a doctoral degree in Religious Studies from McMaster University in 1997\, he held a postdoctoral research fellowship at Kyoto University in Japan. In 2001\, he joined the Department of Asian Studies at the University of British Columbia. That same year he was also appointed by the federal government of Canada as the Canada Research Chair (Tier II) in East Asian Buddhism (2001-2011). He has been engaged in research projects related to East Asian state-church relationships\, monastic (hagio/)biographical literature\, Buddhist sacred sites\, relic veneration\, Buddhism and technological innovation in medieval China\, Buddhist translations\, and manuscript culture.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Geometry/Topology
DESCRIPTION:Hilbert's fifth problem asks whether every topological group which is locally Euclidean is in fact a Lie group. This problem was answered in the affirmative in the fifties following deeper investigations into the structure and representation theory of general locally compact topological groups. In this talk I will indicate how Hilbert's fifth is resolved and then we will consider a generalization of the problem which is still open: The Hilbert-Smith conjecture asks whether a locally compact group with a faithful\, continuous action on a connected manifold is in fact a Lie group. \n\nThere is an intriguing\, known reduction of the conjecture: It is sufficient to show that the locally compact group in question cannot be any of the (additive) groups of p-adic integers. In this talk I will explain why this is sufficient to prove the conjecture. Speaker(s): Andrew Odesky (UM)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION: It is a well known fact that a general hypersurface of degree d in projective n-space is rationally connected if d is at most n\, but contains very few curves if d is larger than n. More generally let X be a smooth projective variety and H a hypersurface of X such that K_X+H is anti-ample\, then by the adjunction formula and a classical result of Kollar-Miyaoka-Mori we know that H is rationally connected. In a recent project we use the minimal model program as well as other techniques in birational geometry to study further how the behavior of rational curves on X as well as the positivity of -(K_X + H) and H influence the behavior of rational curves in H. In this talk I will present several results and examples of this kind. In particular we will see criteria for uniruledness and rational connectedness of H. Speaker(s): Yuan Wang (University of Utah)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"How the Soviet Jew Was Made\"
DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores how scenes of encounter between Russian Jews and Jews from the United States and elsewhere in the West have been depicted in literary fiction and journalism from the Cold War to the present day. Examining texts written during the Soviet Jewry Movement by Jewish writers visiting the USSR from abroad alongside texts by contemporary émigré Jewish writers from the Soviet Union in America\, this lecture posits the \"Soviet Jew\" as a product of inter-cultural imagination that has been deployed as a concept in political-cultural activism and literary satire alike. \n\nSasha Senderovich is an Assistant Professor of Russian Studies and Jewish Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. His published work includes articles on Russian Jewish writers David Bergelson and Isaac Babel\, a critical introduction and notes to the English-language translation of Moyshe Kulbak's Soviet Yiddish novel The Zelmenyaners: A Family Saga (Yale University Press\, 2013)\, as well as on contemporary fiction by Russian Jewish émigré authors in the United States. In collaboration with Harriet Murav\, he translated David Bergelson's Soviet Yiddish novel Judgment\, forthcoming with the translators' critical introduction and notes from Northwestern University Press (2017). He has also written on Russian Jewish literature and culture for The New Republic\, Los Angeles Review of Books\, Tablet Magazine\, The Jewish Daily Forward\, and The New Yorker's Page-turner blog. \n\nImage courtesy of Julia Alekseyeva\, Soviet Daughter: A Graphic Revolution\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | High-Harmonic Generation in Bulk and 2D Solids
DESCRIPTION:Harmonic generation is a general phenomena of strongly-driven systems. The conversion of infrared laser light to the extreme ultraviolet in atomic-gases is a well known example that forms the basis of strong-field atomic physics and attosecond pulse generation. The process can largely be understood in terms of a three-step model that includes periodic field-ionization\, acceleration and coherent recombination of electrons from isolated atoms. We have recently discovered that non-perturbative high harmonic generation (HHG) also occurs in crystalline solids[1]. The high-density of solids could lead to compact and efficient sources of coherent short wavelength radiation. The generation mechanism in solids a topic of intense debate and is fundamentally different from atomic-gases in that the it necessarily involves interactions with multiple atoms. In this talk\, I will present our recent efforts to understand solid-state HHG\, how it differs from gas phase harmonics and its dependence on electronic structure[2-4]. \n\n[1] S. Ghimire\, A. D.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:JOHN DERBY EVANS LECTURE presents Fragmented Media Environment: Individual Choices\, their Effects and Proposed Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Many scholars and public observers worry that fragmented media outlets\, nearly unlimited content\, and the ever prevalent new technologies allow citizens to disproportionally seek likeminded sources and information\, which – in turn – reinforce their prior political attitudes. In this presentation\, I first draw from my past research to provide an overview of how people navigate choice in this media environment and on the effects of these choices on attitude polarization\, an outcome increasingly relevant in the current sociopolitical climate. I then turn to the primary question: Whether and how selectivity and polarization might be attenuated. Drawing on data from two experimental studies\, I show that priming common intergroup identity encourages the selection of both pro- and counter-attitudinal political content\, increases individual openness to messages coming from out-groups\, as well as lowers affective polarization (e.g.\, hostility and social distance toward out-groups\, among other outcomes). In the last part of the presentation\, I outline a future project that aims to explain when\, why\, for whom\, and for what kinds of political issues exposure to like-minded or dissimilar views in old and new media amplifies polarization.\n\nMagdalena Wojcieszak (Ph.D. Annenberg School for Communication\, University of Pennsylvania)\, is an Associate Professor of Political Communication at the Amsterdam School of Communication Research\, University of Amsterdam. Prior to joining University of Amsterdam she was an Assistant Professor at IE University\, Spain.\n\nHer research focuses on political communication\, public opinion\, and the effects of mass and new media on citizens’ attitudes\, behaviors\, and perceptions. She has (co-)authored 41 articles in peer-reviewed journal (e.g.\, Journal of Communication\, Public Opinion Quarterly\, Political Communication\, Communication Research\, Political Psychology\, among others)\, 4 book chapters\, a book\, and co-edited two other books\, and also served as a Guest Editor of a Special Issue of International Journal of Communication.\n\nMagdalena is the Associate Editor of the International Journal of Public Opinion Research\, and serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Communication and EastBound. She has received several awards for her research (including the 2016 Young Scholar Award from the International Association of Communication) and grants from the Spanish Ministry of Science\, the Spanish Sociological Research Center\, and Junta de Castilla y León\, Spain. She serves as a frequent reviewer for many journals and various international science foundations.\n\nTo step beyond the academic ivory tower\, Magdalena applies her research to real world conflicts\, assessing public opinion about the conflict in Darfur and examining how Iranian citizens and journalists engage with online\, mobile and offline communication tools.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Colloquium Series
DESCRIPTION:There is a deep and famous result of Deuring and Serre (refined by Ribet) in arithmetic geometry saying that one has a canonical bijection between isomorphism classes of supersingular elliptic curves over the algebraic closure of F_p and those of oriented maximal Eichler orders of discriminant p\, where p is a prime number. The theorem immediately gives a formula for the number of such elliptic curves. However\, it has much more significant applications in Galois representations and modular forms\, if one interprets it in terms of the geometry of modular curves. This result was later generalized to some other Hilbert modular varieties\, for example\, by Nicole in genus 2 and by Yu in genus 4. In this talk\, we will generalize this result to arbitrary Hilbert modular varieties\, by providing a global description of the supersingular locus. We will also discuss its applications in number theory. This is a joint work with Yichao Tian at Bonn. Speaker(s): Yifeng Liu (Northwestern University)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:Toric varieties are defined abstractly as algebraic varieties with the action of an open dense torus\; in practice\, they arise from the very concrete combinatorial data of a collection of cones. The utility of toric varieties lies in the fact that many familiar varieties are toric\, and many basic operations and definitions can be recast in terms of the associated combinatorial data. Thus toric varieties give a useful class of examples to elucidate more abstract\, complex theories. \n\nIn this talk\, we'll examine basic definitions and examples of toric varieties\, and cover the general correspondences between the geometric\, algebraic\, and combinatorial aspects of the theory. We'll then focus on toric resolution of singularities as an example of how the special setting of toric varieties can give useful examples for general theory. In particular\, we'll describe the types of singularities that can occur on an affine toric variety\, and show how to resolve them via the associated combinatorial data. We'll focus on surface singularities\, but time permitting may sketch the general approach in higher dimensions. Speaker(s): Devlin Mallory (UM)

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Divided Images: Fiber
DESCRIPTION:Jill Ault is an Ann Arbor studio artist working in fiber\, primarily quilts\, with a BFA degree in painting from Eastern Michigan University. Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph\, a graphic design or a painting. She digitally prints variations of the image on fabric and divides the copies into many small squares (no two alike). When she carefully reassembles and sews together the squares\, parts of the image seem to move across and down the surface of the quilt. Ault exhibits nationally at fiber and quilt shows\, such as Quilt National in Athens\, Ohio and Fiberart International in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates\, her New York–based studio\, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Causal Inference in Education Research Seminar (CIERS)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nPlace-based “Promise” scholarship programs – Tennessee Promise\, Kalamazoo Promise\, and an array of other state and city initiatives – cut through the complexities of college price with a simple message: free college for any qualified high school graduate. Such initiatives have been shown to increase college enrollment\, but some worry that students who choose college because of a Promise scholarship may be ill suited to succeed without further institutional and individual support. We examine the effect of Knox Achieves\, a local last-dollar scholarship based in Knox County\, Tennessee\, on student persistence\, transfer\, and attainment from Tennessee public colleges and universities. Knox Achieves is an interesting test case because it served as the model for Tennessee Promise\, a statewide last-dollar aid program whose introduction preceded a 10% gain in freshmen enrollment across the state. Preliminary treatment effect estimates suggest that Knox Achieves students completed 4-6 more college credits than matched and ineligible students within four years of high school\, and that they were 3-5 percentage points more likely to attain a postsecondary certificate or associate’s degree. Participating students were less likely to enroll in a four-year college in the years following high school graduation\, however\, and their relative bachelor’s degree completion remains to be seen.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Economics of Place
DESCRIPTION:About the lecture: \nPlace is more than just a location.  It is people\, engagement\, and community.   Our unique experiences and emotional connections to that place give us that “sense of place.”   The research shows that placemaking matters more than ever because the competition for attracting and retaining a talented workforce is no longer with neighboring communities or states\, but with the global community.   Michigan is rich with examples of placemaking\, but we need to keep the conversation going if we are going to stay competitive.  Join Dan for an engaging presentation and discussion around why placemaking is so important as an economic development strategy. \n\nDan Gilmartin is the executive director & CEO of the Michigan Municipal League. Through his work with communities\, Dan is recognized as a national leader in the fields of urban revitalization\, placemaking\, local government reform\, and transportation policy. Under his leadership\, the League was recognized by Crain's Detroit Business as a “Cool Place to Work” in 2011.\n\nModel D Media recently referred to him as “an urban thinker with an eye for the small\, oft-unnoticed changes that can make ‘places’ out of streets and buildings.”\n\nDan serves as a member of the Michigan Future\, Inc. Leadership Council and on the Placemaking Leadership Council.  He recently served as a member of the board of directors of the National League of Cities.  Prior to his current position\, Dan served for four years as the lead advocate for Michigan’s communities in Lansing and in Washington\, where he concentrated on a number of key issues including transportation\, land use\, and urban redevelopment.\n\nIn 2010\, Dan added radio talk show host to his resume as host of The Prosperity Agenda on News/Talk 760 WJR\, which is Michigan’s highest-rated talk station and can be heard throughout the Midwest and Canada.  He is a frequent blogger and a contributing author to the books The Economics of Place: The Value of Building Communities Around People and the recent followup Economics of Place: The Art of Building Great Communities.  Dan is a frequent speaker on matters pertaining to cities and villages. In 2012\, he was selected as the Strategic Association Leader of the Year by the Michigan Society of Association Executives.\n\nSponsored by: University of Michigan Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\nCo-Sponsor: UM Taubman College Architecture & Urban Planning\nFor more information visit www.closup.umich.edu or call 734-647-4091.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Black Music Matters
DESCRIPTION:Ed Sarath is Professor of Jazz and Contemporary Improvisation\nAffiliate faculty\, DAAS and Interim Director\, Center for World Performance Studies\nDirector\, Program in Creativity and Consciousness Studies\n \nAbstract:\nIn recent years\, I have increasingly found myself at the epicenter of conversations about the future horizons of music studies. This involvement has included my role as lead author of the widely-read change “Manifesto” of the College Music Society national task force\, addresses at conferences of the National Association of Schools of Music\, appearances at many symposia and music schools/departments around the world\, and extensive writing on the topic. Although I am energized by the ever-growing wave of efforts toward reform in our field\, I have at the same time never been more convinced of the need for an entirely new level of visioning if an artistically viable\, and socially just\, music learning paradigm is to emerge. In this talk\, I elaborate on this viewpoint through the lens of diversity\, and more particularly—race.\n\nMy central argument is that even amid escalating appeals to expand the cultural horizons of music studies\, African-American music often remains at the periphery in these deliberations. While most reform advocates would likely share my concern about the ethnocentric horizons of the conventional curricular framework\, I take the next step and suggest that the change community itself may be prone to this problem. I examine this from two perspectives\, one rooted in social justice concerns\, the other the formidable artistic/pedagogical tools—with improvisation central among these—that black music offers 21st century musical navigation.\n\nFrom the first standpoint\, the resurgent and highly-charged conversations on black-white racial dynamics of recent years\, with corresponding activism taking place on college campuses and city streets\, provide a vivid backdrop against which—one would think—the place of black music in music curricula would loom large in reform conversations. Unfortunately\, this has not been the case. When\, from a second perspective\, one looks at the creative foundations\, breadth\, rigor\, and integrative properties inherent in African-American music\, the neglect of this resource becomes all the more conspicuous. As I argue below\, black music has the capacity to provide entirely new foundations for a wide swath of themes—from improvisation\, composition\, and transcultural musicianship to technology\, self-sufficiency\, and entrepreneurship—that are prominent in reform conversations. In short\, as I title a chapter in a new book (Sarath\,Myers\,Campbell 2016): “Black Music Matters.”\n \nI will discuss a course that I will be offering next term with this title\, and also a national project I plan to launch\, with U-M as the hub.\n \nBio:\n        Ed Sarath is Professor of Music\, Interim Director of the Center for World Performance Studies\, and Director\, Program in Creativity and Consciousness Studies at the University of Michigan. Active worldwide as performer\, composer\, author\, and change visionary. He is founder and President of the International Society for Improvised Music. His book Improvisation\, Creativity\, and Consciousness (SUNY 2013) is the first to apply principles of Integral Theory to music. His most recent recording is New Beginnings\, featuring the London Jazz Orchestra performing his large ensemble compositions. Fellow of the American Council of Learned Societies\, MacDowell Arts Colony\, and National Endowment for the Arts. Recent keynote addresses include National Association of Schools of Music\, Society for Consciousness Studies\, University of Melbourne\, and Nelson Mandela University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. The Fall of the Berlin Wall: The Making of a Global Iconic Event
DESCRIPTION:This talk contemplates how particular events become lasting global myths\, while others fade into oblivion. What comes to be known and seen as a global iconic event? Focusing on news coverage of the fall of the Berlin Wall and on contemporary retellings of the event\, Sonnevend discusses how storytellers build up certain events so that people remember them for a long time. The East German border opening that we know as the “fall of the Berlin Wall” was in fact unintentional\, confusing\, and prompted in part by misleading media coverage of bureaucratic missteps. But its global message is not about luck or accident or happenstance in history. Incarnated as a global iconic event\, the fall of the Berlin Wall has come to communicate the momentary power that ordinary people can have. The event’s story\, branded as a simple phrase\, a short narrative and a recognizable visual scene\, provides people from China to Israel to the United States with a powerful social myth. This myth shapes our debates about separation walls and fences\, borders and refugees\, and the possibilities of human freedom to this day. \n    \nJulia Sonnevend is assistant professor of communication studies at the University of Michigan. She has held fellowships at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem\, the Centre for Contemporary History in Potsdam\, and the Yale Center for Cultural Sociology in New Haven. Her interdisciplinary research examines the role of media events\, rituals\, performances and icons in global culture. Sonnevend is author of Stories Without Borders: The Berlin Wall and the Making of a Global Iconic Event (Oxford University Press\, 2016) and co-editor of Education and Social Media: Toward a Digital Future (MIT Press\, 2016). She received her Ph.D. in Communications from Columbia University and her Master of Laws degree from Yale Law School.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Seminar | 	Emergent de Sitter Spaces from CFTs
DESCRIPTION:I will discuss the equivalence of two proposals for constructing an emergent de Sitter space on a 2D CFT\, referred to as 'kinematic space'. Special attention is given to the case of a thermal CFT with a BTZ dual. This is based on 1604.02687. The key observation behind the equivalence is the fact that the entanglement entropy behaves as a Liouville field. I will point out how the two proposals have recently converged (in 1604.03110 and 1606.03307) into a generalized notion of kinematic space as the space of pairs of CFT points.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

In a general Markovian model the objective of the agent is to maximise the discounted value of the future excess return penalised for risk. We establish an expansion of the value function of this problem when the transaction costs go to zero . We obtain a characterisation of the asymptotically optimal portfolio.\n\nThis is a joint work in progress with Johannes Muhle-Karbe.  Speaker(s): Ibrahim Ekren (ETH)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Moving from Career Success to Retirement Success
DESCRIPTION:For those anticipating retirement in the next 24 months\, this six-session group on preparing for a satisfying retirement will combine exploration of relevant topics with creative expression and supportive discussion. The focus of this group will be on the transition of retirement and the challenges that come with it -- from questions like \"How will I define myself?\" to “How will I establish priorities and spend my time?”\n\nThe series will help you plan for the non-financial aspects of retirement\, such as redefining who you are\, revisiting what is most important to you\, exploring new interests and opportunities\, and maintaining social connections. You will also learn about what researchers find makes for a fulfilling retirement.\n \nThis series has the capacity for 14 participants\, and is open to all U-M staff\, faculty and students\, as well as the general public.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | \"To a Poet in the South\": Literary Exchange across the Thirty-Eighth Parallel in 1950s-1960s Korea
DESCRIPTION:This presentation offers an unconventional perspective on the relationship between writers in late 1950s and early 1960s North and South Korea. It is often assumed that the ongoing state of war between the two Koreas prevented all media from crossing the thirty-eighth parallel. However\, this is not entirely true. Focusing on a series of open letters written by writers in North Korea to their friends and colleagues in the South\, this presentation explores the real as well as imagined ways in which literature of this period crossed the thirty-eighth parallel. In so doing\, it attempts to outline a more complicated and nuanced understanding of what \"division literature\" meant in Korea across these tumultuous years.\n\nI Jonathan Kief is a Korea Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at the Nam Center for Korean Studies. He received his Ph.D. in 2016 from the Department of East Asian Languages & Cultures and the Institute for Comparative Literature & Society at Columbia University. Narrated through the lens of a series of debates about the term \"humanism\" in mid-twentieth-century Korea\, his dissertation offered one of the first in-depth attempts to write a connected history of postcolonial North and South Korean literature. While at the Nam Center\, he is preparing his book manuscript for publication.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Rhetoric of Crisis and the Grammar of Resistance in Greek Wall-Writings and Spain’s Hologram Protest
DESCRIPTION:This talk will discuss recent Greek wall-writings as well as the ‘hologram protest’ in Spain in 2015 as linguistic and visual grammars of resistance to the dominant crisis-rhetoric in Europe. Countering hegemonic accounts of the ‘crisis’ as judgment and distinction (κρίσις) between perpetrators and disempowered victims\, or as a one-way street without alternatives\, these interventions recast crisis as decision between multiple options. By mobilizing the middle voice\, they seek grammars that can accommodate voices of the dispossessed and generate alternative narratives of the present.

SUMMARY:Other:Trafficking of a bacterial natural product 
DESCRIPTION:Methanobactins (Mbns) are ribosomally synthesized\, post-translationally modified peptide natural products that were first isolated from methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs). Produced during conditions of copper starvation\, secreted Mbns scavenge and bind copper\, and are internalized to provide copper for the bacteria. This seminar will focus on efforts to identify and characterize the protein machinery responsible for the trafficking of Mbns in methanotrophs.\nLaura Dassama (Northwestern University)

DESCRIPTION:Homological projective duality is a powerful theory developed by Kuznetsov for studying the derived categories of varieties. It can be thought of as a categorification of classical projective duality. I will describe a categorification of the classical join of two projective varieties\, its relation to homological projective duality\, and some applications. This is joint work with Alexander Kuznetsov. Speaker(s): Alex Perry (Columbia University)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2016 Ta-You Wu Distinguished Lecture in Physics | Our Simple but Strange Universe
DESCRIPTION:Observations of the microwave background\, the left-over heat from the big bang\, the large-scale distribution of galaxies and the properties of distant supernova have led to a remarkable simple model for our universe. With only five parameters (the density of atoms\, the density of matter\, the age of the universe\, the amplitude of fluctuations in the early universe and their scale dependence)\, this model can fit a host of astronomical observations. We have now determined these basic parameters at the few percent level or better. While simple\, our universe is very strange. Atoms make up only 5% of the universe\, most of the universe is made of mysterious dark matter and dark energy. We do not understand how the universe began or why there is more matter than anti-matter. I will review our current understanding and look forward to future measurements that can address these big open questions.\n\nLorch Hall\n611 Tappan Street\, Ann Arbor\, 48109\n\nThe coffee/cookie reception will be held in the Lorch Hall main lobby\, which is located directly outside of the auditorium (140 Lorch Hall).  \n\nThe reception will begin at 3:30 pm and the lecture starts at 4:15 pm.

DESCRIPTION:Deirdre de la Cruz reads from her latest book\, followed by a conversation with Christi-Ann Castro and Q & A.\n\nAbout the book: \"In Mother Figured\, historical anthropologist Deirdre de la Cruz offers a detailed examination of several appearances and miracles of the Virgin Mary in the Philippines from materials and sites ranging from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. By analyzing the effects of the mass media on the perception and proliferation of apparition phenomena\, de la Cruz charts the intriguing emergence of new voices in the Philippines that are broadcasting Marian discourse globally. Based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork and hitherto unexplored archives in the Philippines\, the United States\, and Spain\, Mother Figured documents the conditions of Marian devotion’s modern development and tracks how it has transformed Filipinos’ social and political role within the greater Catholic world.\"\n\nDeirdre de la Cruz is associate professor of Southeast Asian studies and history at the University of Michigan. \n\nChristi-Ann Castro is associate professor of musicology at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Presentation:G&FP Community Talk
DESCRIPTION:When\, Why\, and How to Talk to Children About Gender: Research-Based Advice for Parents and Teachers\n\nMost children endorse gender stereotypes and prefer same-gender peers well before they enter kindergarten. Importantly\, children’s gender attitudes affect their cognitive\, social\, and emotional development\, often in ways that serve to limit (rather than maximize) their potential. In this talk\, I will summarize findings from psychological science concerning the causes and consequences of children’s gender attitudes\, with the goal of providing concrete recommendations to parents and teachers for how best to address gender issues with preschoolers\, children\, and adolescents. New trends in gender socialization\, including the sexualization of girls and use of single-sex programming and classrooms\, will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures\, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Divided Images: Fiber
DESCRIPTION:Jill Ault is an Ann Arbor studio artist working in fiber\, primarily quilts\, with a BFA degree in painting from Eastern Michigan University. Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph\, a graphic design or a painting.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces: Reconstructing the History of a Chokwe Mask
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Traces focuses on one artwork from the Museum's African holdings: a Chokwe mask that was collected in 1905 near the Angolan city of Dundo by the German explorer Leo Frobenius. Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Center for the Education of Women's Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Advancing Understandings of Past Cultural Landscapes with Geospatial Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few decades\, geospatial technologies have cemented themselves as critical tools for analyzing and synthesizing archaeological data. The number of geospatial techniques currently used in archaeology are numerous and wide ranging in their functionality. Within the ever expanding array and seeming accessibility of these technologies\, it is important to ask\, are we using these tools to bring new insights to bear on past social\, economic\, and ideological processes? In this talk\, Dr. Howey explore this question through the context of her ongoing research in the northern Great Lakes region using geospatial technologies to advance nuanced examinations of past socioecological landscapes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series |  Against the Mystery of Kabuki Onnagata: A Labyrinth of Gendering
DESCRIPTION:\"Why are we made to remember Yamada Isuzu (1917-2012) exclusively as a film star? Certainly\, Yamada was an internationally renowned actor featured in films by such directors as Mizoguchi\, Naruse\, and Kurosawa. She also worked\, as an onnagata\, with topnotch kabuki-theater actors. One of the Japanese traditional theater forms\, kabuki is an all-male theater\, and onnagata actors play women's roles in it. Yamada performed alongside mainstream\, male kabuki actors\, and her performance was praised by kabuki-theater critics very highly\, sometimes even described as having 'considerable presence as the leading onnagata.' Why does Yamada's outstanding stage career have to be hidden from our eyes? Behind it is a long-lasting mystery about onnagata.\"\n\nMAKI ISAKA teaches Japanese theater\, premodern literature\, and gender studies at the University of Minnesota\, Twin Cities. She has published on the the philosophy of premodern Japanese arts\, the “New Theater” movement in modern Japan\, and gender and onnagata on the kabuki stage. She is the author of Secrecy in Japanese Arts: \"Secret Transmission\" as a Mode of Knowledge (Palgrave\, 2005) and Onnagata: A Labyrinth of Gendering in Kabuki Theater (University of Washington Press\, 2016).

SUMMARY:Presentation:GFP Brown Bag
DESCRIPTION:When\, Why\, and How to Talk to Children About Gender: Research-Based Advice for Parents and Teachers\n\nMost children endorse gender stereotypes and prefer same-gender peers well before they enter kindergarten. Importantly\, children’s gender attitudes affect their cognitive\, social\, and emotional development\, often in ways that serve to limit (rather than maximize) their potential. In this talk\, I will summarize findings from psychological science concerning the causes and consequences of children’s gender attitudes\, with the goal of providing concrete recommendations to parents and teachers for how best to address gender issues with preschoolers\, children\, and adolescents. New trends in gender socialization\, including the sexualization of girls and use of single-sex programming and classrooms\, will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Econometrics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe accuracy of particle filters for nonlinear state-space models crucially depends on the proposal distribution that mutates time t − 1 particle values into time t values. In the widely-used bootstrap particle filter this distribution is generated by the state-transition equation. While straightforward to implement\, the practical performance is often poor. We develop a self-tuning particle filter in which the proposal distribution is constructed adaptively through a sequence of Monte Carlo steps. Intuitively\, we start from a measurement error distribution with an inflated variance\, and then gradually reduce the variance to its nominal level in a sequence of steps that we call tempering. We show that the filter generates an unbiased and consistent approximation of the likelihood function. Holding the run time fixed\, our filter is substantially more accurate in two DSGE model applications than the bootstrap particle filter.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Differential Equations
DESCRIPTION:The wall-to-wall optimal transport problem asks for the design of an incompressible flow between parallel walls that most efficiently transports heat from one wall to the other\, given a prescribed intensity budget. In the energy-constrained case\, with a given kinetic energy budget\, optimal designs are known to be convection rolls in the large energy limit. In the enstrophy-constrained case\, numerical studies performed by P. Hassanzadeh\, G. Chini\, and C. Doering\, and also by A. Souza in his PhD thesis\, indicate a much more complicated flow structure is favorable in the large enstrophy limit. In particular\, these authors observe the presence of recirculation zones near the walls whose existence is left unexplained. After a brief introduction\, we describe in this talk a useful reformulation of the wall-to-wall optimal transport problem inspired by related questions in homogenization theory. This leads to an unexpected connection between the wall-to-wall problem and questions from the study of energy-driven pattern formation in materials science. We illustrate this connection with a few key examples. The result is a new construction for the enstrophy-driven wall-to-wall problem which goes beyond the complexity observed in the numerical studies\, and achieves the optimal rate of transport in the large enstrophy limit up to possible logarithmic corrections. We discuss implications for the problem of finding the best absolute upper limits on the rate of heat transport in turbulent Rayleigh-Bernard convection. This is joint work with C. Doering.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe evaluate three labor market policies (vocational training\, on the job training and firm-worker matching) in a representative sample of urban labor markets in Uganda. The evaluation is based on a four year panel of workers and firms and exploits a randomized control trial and structural model. The reduced form impacts comparing on-the-job and vocational training show that: (i) both forms of training have significant impacts on the extensive margin of finding wage employment (by around 25% relative to the control group)\; (ii) both treatments have significant impacts on hours workers\, hourly wages and total earnings (by at least 30%). Bounds estimates of the productivity impacts suggest both forms of training have positive productivity impacts\, with vocational training having the larger impact on worker productivity.  We verify the impacts on hourly earnings and productivity bounds by implementing a practical skills test to workers in all treatment groups: in line with the earlier evidence\, this shows vocational training to significantly raise practical skills\, both relative to the control group and relative to the workers that were assigned to on-the-job training. We find little evidence that there are informational frictions in these urban labor markets relating to firms not having information on workers willing to work\, or on workers willing to work and being trained. The final part of analysis develops and estimates a structural model of worker job search\, where workers make two endogenous choices: (i) search effort\; (ii) their reservation wage. Using monthly data on labor market histories for workers in our evaluation\, we use the experiment to identify the structural model and shed light on how training impacts these two endogenous outcomes through two mechanisms: (i) worker beliefs over the arrival of job offers\; (ii) the distribution of offered wages. We use these structural estimates to estimate the lifetime benefits of these various training and matching routes into the labor market.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: \"Love\, Friendship\, and Jihad in the Age of Crusades\"
DESCRIPTION:The period of the Crusades in the history of the eastern Mediterranean is usually purveyed by its historians (medieval and modern) as a period of fierce military conflict or cultural exchange. Yet given the intense\, and in some cases unprecedented\, human relationships that formed as a result of these conflicts\, it would seem to form an ideal laboratory for the study of medieval emotions. This talk will probe the advantages and limitations of such a study by examining the concepts of love and friendship as expressed in first-person sources\, particularly those written by Muslim authors\, whose works are not as widely available as those of their Latin Christian counterparts. \n\nPaul M. Cobb is Professor and Department Chair in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations Department at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a social and cultural historian of the pre-modern Islamic world. His areas of interest include the history of memory\, historiography\, Islamic relations with the West\, and travel and exploration. He is\, in particular\, a recognized authority on the history of the medieval Levant and of the Crusades in their Islamic context. He is the author of numerous books and articles\, including  White Banners: Contention in ‘Abbasid Syria\, 750-880 (2001)\; Usama ibn Munqidh: Warrior-Poet of the Age of Crusades (2005)\; and The Book of Contemplation: Islam and the Crusades\, a translation of the “memoirs” and other works of Usama ibn Munqidh (2008). He is also the co-editor (with Wout van Bekkum) of Strategies of Medieval Communal Identity: Judaism\, Christianity\, and Islam (2003) and (with Antoine Borrut) of Umayyad Legacies: History and Memory from Syria to Spain (2010). His latest book is The Race for Paradise: An Islamic History of the Crusades (2014). \n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FALL 2016 COMMUNICATION & MEDIA SPEAKER SERIES Racializing Redemption: The Content and Characters of White Savior Films
DESCRIPTION:Recent research on the intersection of race and media representations describes a trend of progressive\, even antiracist\, narratives that showcase close inter-racial friendships and camaraderie on the silver screen.  Films in which one character saves or helps another from some unholy or disastrous plight are common in films like Dangerous Minds (1996)\, Amistad (1997)\, The Last Samurai (2003)\, Freedom Writers (2007)\, Gran Torino (2008)\, Avatar (2009)\, The Blind Side (2009)\, The Help (2011)\, 12 Years a Slave (2013)\, Free State of Jones (2016) and the list goes on.  While these films present a stark change from the patently racist and on-screen segregationist history of Hollywood cinema\, these films are neither racially neutral nor without racist meanings.  In specific\, many of these films are what critics call “White Savior Films\"—cinema in which implicit and explicit racial stereotypes are employed to structure the inter-racial interactions where one character labors to redeem another.  In analyzing this genre\, Professor Hughey will provide an framework for understanding both why and how modern cinema naturalizes the supposed cerebral rationality\, work ethic\, and paternalistic morality of select white characters while it normalizes people of color as primordially connected with nature\, spiritually attuned\, carnally driven\, and/or possessive of exotic and magical powers.\n\nMatthew W.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Labor Economics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe evaluate three labor market policies (vocational training\, on the job training and firm-worker matching) in a representative sample of urban labor markets in Uganda. The evaluation is based on a four year panel of workers and firms and exploits a randomized control trial and structural model. The reduced form impacts comparing on-the-job and vocational training show that: (i) both forms of training have significant impacts on the extensive margin of finding wage employment (by around 25% relative to the control group)\; (ii) both treatments have significant impacts on hours workers\, hourly wages and total earnings (by at least 30%). Bounds estimates of the productivity impacts suggest both forms of training have positive productivity impacts\, with vocational training having the larger impact on worker productivity.  We verify the impacts on hourly earnings and productivity bounds by implementing a practical skills test to workers in all treatment groups: in line with the earlier evidence\, this shows vocational training to significantly raise practical skills\, both relative to the control group and relative to the workers that were assigned to on-the-job training. We find little evidence that there are informational frictions in these urban labor markets relating to firms not having information on workers willing to work\, or on workers willing to work and being trained. The final part of analysis develops and estimates a structural model of worker job search\, where workers make two endogenous choices: (i) search effort\; (ii) their reservation wage. Using monthly data on labor market histories for workers in our evaluation\, we use the experiment to identify the structural model and shed light on how training impacts these two endogenous outcomes through two mechanisms: (i) worker beliefs over the arrival of job offers\; (ii) the distribution of offered wages. We use these structural estimates to estimate the lifetime benefits of these various training and matching routes into the labor market.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Situating Brecht's Antigone Project
DESCRIPTION:Brecht’s ‘The Antigone of Sophocles’ (1948) was considered a marginal and transitory piece by the artist himself\, a mere experiment and practical testing ground during the brief final period of his 15-year exile (in Switzerland\, from November 1947 to October 1948) before Brecht’s return to Berlin and its cultural scene which was slowly re-emerging from the ruins of World War II and Nazi rule. But contrary to authorial self-perception\, the project - which manifested itself in a few performances in Chur (Switzerland) in early 1948 and the first of Brecht’s ‘model books’ (Antigonemodell 1948\, published in 1949) - is a landmark in Brecht’s work and in 20th-century theatre history as a whole while also making a distinct contribution to the long and diverse reception history of Sophocles’ Antigone. Focusing on select aspects of the project\, this paper attempts to situate the importance of Brecht’s Antigone (the script\, the production as well as the 'model book’) by integrating the disciplinary vistas of Classics\, Theatre Studies and Comparative Literature.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Central Asia in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union
DESCRIPTION:The theme of this Slavic Studies Graduate Colloquium is \"Central Asia in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.\" \n\nOlga Maiorova\, Associate Professor of Russian\n\"Exploring the Russian Self in Oriental Lands: Nineteenth-Century Travels to Central Asia\"\n \nThis talk focuses on the nineteenth-century explorers of Central Asia who shaped Russian public discourse on the Orient. It examines their visions of the exotic Other in the context of Russia’s own shifting national self-perception and offers insights into the ideological constructs underlying Russia’s unfolding imperial project.\n \nChristopher Fort\, Ph. D. Candidate in Slavic Languages and Literatures\n\"Uzbekistan: Dual Mimicry and Archival Research\" \n \nThe Soviet Union encouraged its subjects to perform not only Soviet identities but also national ones\, according to the formula \"national in form\, socialist in content\". I posit that non-Russian litterateurs of the 1930s were under the influence of \"dual mimicry\,\" a concept which I adapt from post-colonial theorist Homi Bhabha's colonial mimicry.  In the particular context of Socialist Realism\, \"dual mimicry\" took on a particular form. While non-Russian authors were instructed to imitate Russian Socialist Realist texts - the first form of mimicry – they were also expected to mercilessly attack their literary predecessors\, producing parody as the second form of mimicry.  Focusing on the first novel\, Mirage (1934)\, of celebrated Uzbek author Abdulla Qahhor (1907-1968)\, I am asking why the novel\, despite its obvious ideological loyalty to the state\, was not declared the first Uzbek Socialist Realist novel. This talk also integrates some new archival findings about Qahhor and notes about work in the Uzbek archives.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please contact Carolyn Dymond\, dymond@umich.edu or 734-764-5355\, at least 3 days in advance of this event.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jen Cass
DESCRIPTION:Born to unusually hip parents in the suburbs of Detroit\,  singer-songwriter Jen Cass was raised on a healthy mix of folk music\, homegrown vegetables\, spontaneous dancing\, black licorice and Motown. Jen writes beautifully crafted songs that draw comparisons to songwriting legends Bob Dylan\, Mary Chapin Carpenter\, Indigo Girls\, and Dar Williams\, as well as playwright Eugene O'Neill. In the words of Suzanne Glass of Indie-Music.com\, “Cass’ songs are lyrical gems. She weaves fables with her words that would make Aesop jealous.” Jen has appeared twice at the Kerrville New Folk festival (2010 and 2011) and has played the legendary Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. She comes to The Ark for the first time in several years with new music and her new band\, The Lucky Nows.
