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: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:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Perspective on Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Justice Richard Bernstein became the first blind justice\, elected by voters statewide\, to the Michigan Supreme Court in November 2014. With a commitment to justice and fairness\, Bernstein began his 8-year term in January 2015.\n\nPrior to being elected to Michigan’s highest court\, Justice Bernstein was known as a tireless advocate for disabled rights as an attorney heading the public service division for The Sam Bernstein Law Firm in Farmington Hills\, Michigan. Blind since birth\, Justice Bernstein is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Michigan and earned his juris doctorate from Northwestern University School of Law.\n\nWe are inviting Justice Bernstein as part of the University’s Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion initiative. At Hillel\, we strive to make people of all abilities feel welcomed and included. We were inspired by Justice Bernstein’s commitment to his state and the law and the messages he shares on inclusion and overcoming adversity as a blind individual.

Recently Carrie traveled to India and performed as a U.S. cultural ambassador\, and local religion journalist David Crumm\, writing on the ReadTheSpirit website\, recently named her to his list of \"10 Spiritual Sages to Watch.\"

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: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:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Humanist in the World of Genomics: Privacy\, Big Data\, and Science Policy
DESCRIPTION:How can humanists successfully compete for NIH and NSF funding? What roles can the humanities play in the public sphere? How can we influence public policy around a host of issues ranging from genomics\, neuroscience\, and medicine to the environment\, economic inequality\, racial disparities\, digital media\, and big data? Drawing on his experience as a Co-PI and researcher on two collaborative NIH grants totaling more than $4-million\, as director of a center focused on the role of the arts in shaping public policy\, and as a participant in projects with the Institute of Medicine\, Personal Genome Project\, Broad Institute\, and several Medical schools\, Jay Clayton will outline answers that have worked at his institution and other universities.\n\nJay Clayton is author or editor of seven books and more than 35 articles and chapters\, and he has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, and elsewhere. His published scholarship has ranged from Romantic poetry and the Victorian novel to contemporary American literature\, film and digital media\, science and literature\, and medicine\, health\, and society. His book\, Charles Dickens in Cyberspace: The Afterlife of the Nineteenth Century in Postmodern Culture\, focused on the depiction of computers\, information technology\, and cyborgs from the Victorian era to the twenty-first century. This study won the Suzanne M. Glasscock Humanities Prize for Interdisciplinary Scholarship.  His recent work has concentrated on the ethical\, social\, and cultural issues raised by genomics.

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:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nBounded rationality and finite processing capacity make it understandable that homo sapiens focuses attention first on the here and now.  But many individual and social problems require increased attention to future costs and benefits\, with climate change as the most urgent challenge for decisions that fully and justly weigh the  immediate and certain costs and benefits of business-as-usual or greenhouse gas mitigation efforts against their delayed\, risky\, and often disputed costs and benefits. Psychological theories from prospect theory to hyperbolic discounting and query theory predict that future costs of business-as-usual and future benefits of GHG mitigation efforts will get short thrift. I present three interventions that focus greater attention on future consequences and thus provide entry points for choices that better balance short-term and long-term goals and objectives.  (1) In tradeoffs between immediate and delayed consumption\, discounting of future consequences is reduced when choice options with future benefits are made the default and when decision makers are otherwise prompted to consider arguments for such choices first (Weber et al.\, 2007).  (2) Individual and country-level data show that citizens may use perceptions of their country’s age to predict its future continuation\, with longer pasts predicting longer futures\, and longer futures justifying greater investments into sustainability. Thus framing a country as a long-standing entity can promote pro-environmental behavior (Hershfield\, Bang\, & Weber\, 2014). (3) Finally\, individuals’ motivation to leave a positive legacy can be leveraged to increase engagement with climate change and other environmental problems (Zaval\, Markowitz & Weber\, 2015).

SUMMARY:Other:Biosynthesis of a novel nucleoside: are two cofactors better than one?
DESCRIPTION:The natural product oxetanocin is a potent antiviral compound produced by Bacillus megaterium NK84-0128. The biosynthesis of oxetanocin has been linked to a plasmid-borne gene cluster that contains four genes involved in oxetanocin production (oxsA and oxsB) and oxetanocin resistance (oxrA and oxrB). In collaboration with the Liu Lab at the University of Texas\, Austin\, we now present detailed structural and biochemical analysis that confirms the involvement of the cobalamin (Cbl) dependent S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) radical enzyme\, OxsB\, and an HD-domain phosphohydrolase enzyme\, OxsA\, in oxetanocin production. These studies of OxsB provide a framework for understanding the coordination and interplay of AdoMet and Cbl cofactors in performing Nature’s chemistry. Additional X-ray crystal structures of the oxetanocin production partner protein\, OxsA\, reveal a phosphohydrolase enzyme with a restructured active site specific for a phosphorylated oxetanocin derivative. Our crystallographic endeavors and sequence-based comparisons have allowed for elucidation of a biochemical scheme for the challenging production of oxetanocin\, expanded the catalytic repertoire of the HD-domain phosphohydrolase enzyme superfamily\, and provided the first structural characterization of a Cbl-dependent AdoMet radical enzyme.\nJennifer Bridwell-Rabb (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Special Seminar: Elucidating ecological complexity with multilayer networks
DESCRIPTION:The vast complexity of ecological systems has long challenged the ability of ecologists to understand and predict ecosystem behavior. Fortunately\, the emerging field of network science including ecological networks is providing evermore powerful tools to meet these challenges. Such tools\, including insights into ‘multilayer’ networks comprised of different types of interactions\, help rigorously synthesize more traditional ecological theories and massive amounts of data describing the great diversity of species and interactions encompassing ecological systems.  My work pushes this frontier forward in order to better explain and predict the structure and dynamics of ecological systems\, especially their responses to anthropogenic change. I do this by 1) integrating different types of interactions among species into ecological networks\, 2) scaling up key mechanisms at lower scales concerning organisms and populations to larger scales concerning communities and ecosystems\, and 3) testing theory resulting from 1) and 2) against empirical data.  This strategy has enabled me to develop a novel consumer-resource approach to plant-pollinator networks that integrates two types of interactions essential to the dynamics of those complex systems\; feeding relationships and reproductive services. My approach incorporates key mechanisms such as the adaptive foraging of pollinators within plant communities\, the dynamic production and depletion of floral rewards\, and the dilution of conspecific pollen by heterospecific pollen. My results suggest that these mechanisms stabilize plant-pollinator communities and resolve a prominent debate about how network architecture affects the dynamics of mutualistic systems.  We tested a central prediction emerging from this theory and found it to be strongly corroborated by intensive field observations of bee foraging within an alpine plant community. My current research on mechanistic approaches to multilayer networks integrates additional types of interactions involving life-history\, evolution\, and even economics. Such work continues the tradition of ecological network scientists learning from\, and substantially contributing to\, exciting frontiers of complexity research spanning natural\, social\, and technological sciences.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics
DESCRIPTION:Originally introduced by Eisenbud in the context of commutative algebra\, matrix factorizations have since earned a prominent role in mathematical physics as the \"D-branes of type B\" in a Landau-Ginzburg model. In this spirit\, Orlov proved that a certain category of matrix factorizations over affine space is equivalent to the derived category of a Calabi-Yau hypersurface. \n\nIn this talk I will describe preliminary work using matrix factorizations to give a new description of the virtual class in Gromov-Witten theory\, FJRW theory\, and so-called hybrid theories. We hope that this construction will help clarify the relationship between the virtual classes in these various theories.\n Speaker(s): Mark Shoemaker (Colorado State)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | The Continuing Story of Two-Photon Exchange: Results from the OLYMPUS Experiment
DESCRIPTION:Over the past two decades\, a discrepancy has emerged between two different techniques for measuring the proton’s electromagnetic form factors. Unpolarized electron-proton cross section measurements paint a picture of the proton’s internal structure that is incompatible with measurements from polarization transfer experiments. The leading hypothesis is that the discrepancy is caused by a typically neglected radiative correction\, hard two-photon exchange (TPE)\, which would affect the two measurement techniques in different ways. There is no model independent way to calculate hard TPE\, but it can be measured experimentally by looking for an asymmetry between the positron-proton and electron-proton elastic cross sections. Three recent experiments have attempted to quantify this asymmetry\, and\, just last month\, the third of these\, called OLYMPUS\, released its results (arXiv:1611.04685). The OLYMPUS experiment collected data in 2012 at DESY\, alternating between 2 GeV electron and positron beams\, directed through a hydrogen gas target. The scattered lepton and recoiling proton were detected in coincidence with a large acceptance toroidal spectrometer. The relative luminosity between the two beam species was monitored with three independent systems\, and the results comprise 3 inverse fb of integrated luminosity\, exceeding by a factor of three the other two TPE experiments combined. In this talk\, the case for the TPE hypothesis will be presented\, the OLYMPUS experiment will be described\, and the results of all three experiments will be compared.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker: Toward Anti-Ontology: The Unmaking of Chronic Pain in Thailand
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I examine a Thai physician’s claim that “there is no chronic pain in Thailand\,” and that “chronic pain is a Western invention.”  Recent work in ontology has argued that diseases and disease categories are “enacted\,” made iteratively by practices in context.  In this talk\, I will attempt an explanation of the opposite phenomenon: the active “unmaking” of (potential) disease\, both as epistemological category and lived experience.  I take my Thai physician’s claim in a slightly less positivist direction\, and rather than argue that “there is no chronic pain in Thailand\,” I will argue that chronic pain is instead actively “un-made” in Thailand.  I will share how this process works: that it is unequal\, tied to a class politics of suffering\; that it is material\, tied to the hospital as an organizing place\; that it is spiritual\, based on a Buddhist model of the human mind and how to intervene upon it\; that it is political\, emerging from the violent history of opium\; and that it is ultimately unstable\, as cracks slowly begin to form in the structures that keep chronic pain from becoming a “thing” in Thailand.  To make these claims\, I will share the stories of a series of Thai elders\, some in the process of dying\, others enduring chronic suffering\, all caught in a web of the making and unmaking of pain.

Furthermore\, since such an abelian variety is isomorphic to the Jacobian of a curve of genus 3\, we can ask if the curve is hyperelliptic or a plane quartic.\n\nIn this talk we describe how to\, starting with the period matrix of a Jacobian that has strict CM by a sextic CM field K\, determine if the Jacobian is hyperelliptic\, and if so\, how to compute a model for the curve. We will also touch briefly on how to compute the period matrices if time allows.\n\nThis is joint work with J. Balakrishnan\, S. Ionica and K. Lauter. Speaker(s): Christelle Vincent (University of Vermont)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM - AMO Graduate Student Seminars | A Review of Field Theory in Fermionic Systems and the Rise of Non-Linear Sigma Model
DESCRIPTION:I will continue the talk from last week and 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.

DESCRIPTION:Reading in German\, English translation provided.\nReception to follow\n\nThe final public event of Selim Özdoğan’s residency is scheduled for Monday\, December 5 at 5:30 pm. On this evening\, Selim will read from his most recent novel\, Wieso Heimat\, ich wohne zur Miete? The novel details unlikely protagonist Krishna Mustafa’s search for his roots in Istanbul. At once humorous\, pointed\, and poetic\, this novel engages with a tradition of satire in Turkish literature. At the same time\, it offers an indirect reflection on identity politics in Germany and provides a thoughtful commentary on the political situation in Turkey following the Gezi Park protests.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please contact Gitta Killough\, bkohlerk@umich.edu\, 734.764.8018\, at least 4 days in advance of this event.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:U-M Museum Studies Program Presents: \"Inclusion Requires Fracturing\"
DESCRIPTION:As museums strive to serve broad\, ever-diversifying publics\, it is no longer possible to deny the ways museums mirror and reinforce racial\, cultural\, and class inequities of the broader society. Skillful racial and cultural representation in interpretation and programming is not only an intellectual exercise\; it is an ethical responsibility that requires fracturing the known through consistent individual and institutional self-reflection and action. This talk focuses on the challenging and often painful internal work toward developing diversity and strategies and actions supporting systemic change in museum representation\, interpretation\, and ideation.\nSwarupa Anila is director of interpretive engagement at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Key issues she pursues in interpretive planning practice include examining whose voices and perspectives are missing in museum interpretation\, how to integrate visitor voices to flatten museum and art historical knowledge hierarchies\, and how to design museum interpretation that supports dynamic\, meaningful visitor engagements with art.

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: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:Workshop / Seminar:Great Lakes Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Great Lakes Seminar Series presentation:\nPresenter: Silvia Newell\, Assistant Professor\, Wright State University\nTitle: Nitrogen cycling in eutrophic systems: Case studies in Lakes Erie and Taihu\n\nTo participate remotely via webinar\, please register at: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1637315028733554436.\n\nAbstract: Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (HABs) in Lake Taihu and western Lake Erie are driven largely by agricultural nitrogen (N) and phosphorus. Cyanobacterial community dominance and HAB development may depend on ammonium (NH4+) availability\, and increased NH4+ has been linked to increased toxin production. Microcystis\, the dominant toxic cyanobacterial genus in both lakes\, cannot fix atmospheric N2\; consequently\, it must compete for NH4+ with other primary producers. Understanding the factors that govern N cycling and NH4+ availability is therefore crucial for identifying conditions that stimulate and maintain HABs.\n\nBio: Silvia Newell is an Assistant Professor at Wright State University in Dayton\, OH. She has a Ph.D. in Geosciences from Princeton University.  Her dissertation focused on biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen in low-oxygen marine environments in Chesapeake Bay and the Arabian Sea.  For her post-doctoral work\, first at Princeton and then at Boston University\, she continued her exploration of the nitrogen cycle in the Sargasso Sea\, the Gulf of Mexico\, and Cape Cod.  Currently\, her work at Wright State focuses on hypereutrophic Lake Erie\, Lake Okeechobee\, and Lake Taihu in China\, as well as local research on the Great Miami River and small lakes.\n\nImportant Visitor Information\nAll in-person seminar attendees are required to receive a visitor badge from the front desk at the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory facility. Seminar attendees need to present a valid U.S. photo ID or green card. If you are a Foreign National\, advance notification of at least 48 hours is needed so that security guidelines are followed.

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:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

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 & Development (H2D2)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe expansion of Medicaid under the ACA has extended health insurance to millions of previously uninsured low income adults. This paper analyzes the effect of this expansion of insurance on medical treatment received in the emergency department. It uses State Emergency Department Database (SEDD) discharge data from 2013 to 2014 to estimate the effect of the change in insurance on duration of stay\, number of procedures performed\, number of diagnoses recorded\, and the average charge per procedure for all and subgroups of patients in the emergency department. Using a difference-in-differences model\, we compare the outcome variables in expanding states to those in non-expanding states. We find that the changes in treatment are not limited to those with newly acquired Medicaid coverage. Duration of stay declines up to 49 minutes for the young and the elderly\, while it increases by up to 8 minutes for the working age adults. The number of procedures increases for all patients in expanding states by up to 0.33 procedures\, for young\, working age adults\, and elderly. The number of diagnoses\, meanwhile\, declines between .05 to 0.27 diagnoses for all groups. The estimates are robust to specification and propensity matching of patients in expanding and non-expanding states. These results suggest that health insurance expansion is likely to result in increase in intensity of treatment in the emergency room for all patients\, irrespective of insurance status. With the average charge for procedure at $721 in our data\, the increase in the number of procedures for Medicaid the three states our analysis corresponds to additional $227 million in charges\, which constitutes 7.3% of the total increase in Medicaid expenditure in these states between 2013 and 2014. These estimates suggest that the costs associated with expanding insurance coverage should include those associated with changes in treatment of patients. These costs are not limited to Medicaid\, as they extend to patients with private insurance\, Medicare\, and self-paying patients.

DESCRIPTION:The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is today more secure against foreign military attack than at any time since 1949.  Yet its leaders have grown increasingly concerned about internal security challenges and their possible links to external threats. This concern about linked internal and external security challenges is not new.  But over the past seven decades the perceived connections have evolved along with China’s grand strategy.  \n\nAvery Goldstein is David M. Knott Professor of Global Politics and International Relations\, Director of Center for the Study of Contemporary China\, and Associate Director of the Christopher H. Browne Center for International Politics at the University of Pennsylvania.  Goldstein’s research focuses on international relations\, security studies\, and Chinese politics. His books include \"Rising to the Challenge: China’s Grand Strategy and International Security\" (2005) and \"The Nexus of Economics\, Security\, and International Relations in East Asia\" (2012\, co-edited with Edward D. Mansfield). His articles have appeared in International Security\, Foreign Affairs\, International Organization\, the Journal of Strategic Studies\, China Quarterly\, Asian Survey\, Comparative Politics\, Orbis\, Security Studies\, and other journals.

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:It is a classical result that the spectrum of the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary condition on a compact Riemannian manifold forms a sequence going to positive infinity\, and the asymptotic growth rate is determined by the volume and dimension of the manifold. This asyptotic growth rate is known as Weyl's Law. Historically\, this motivated Kac to ask the question \"Can one hear the shape of a drum?\" In general\, we can ask what geometric properties of a manifold are determined by the spectrum of its Laplacian.\n\nI plan to give an introduction to Weyl's law for compact manifolds and then show how it also holds for singular\, projective\, complex algebraic varieties.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Temperature-like Variables in Granular Materials
DESCRIPTION:Statistical mechanics has provided a powerful tool for understanding the thermodynamics of materials. Because granular materials exhibit reproducible statistical distributions which depend in simple ways on macroscopic parameters such as volume and pressure\, it is tempting to create a statistical mechanics of athermal materials. I will describe a suite of experiments on two-dimensional granular materials which investigate to what extent these ideas are meaningful. For example\, under agitated conditions\, we measure both bulk and particle-scale dynamics\, and find a number of thermal-like behaviors including diffusive dynamics\, a granular Boyle’s Law with a van der Waals-like equation of state\, and energy equipartition for rotational and translational degrees of freedom. However\, the scarcity of free volume within a granular material provides a crucial control on the dynamics\, and each of the above thermal-like behaviors is accompanied by interesting caveats. In an apparatus designed to generate a large number of static configurations\, we test whether or not various temperature-like variables are able to equilibrate between a subsystem and a bath. We find that while a volume-based temperature known as “compactivity” fails to equilibrate\, a stress-based temperature succeeds in satisfying the zeroth law. However\, we also identify history-dependent effects which point to the importance of frictional forces in controlling the mechanics of granular materials.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Queering Families: The Postmodern Partnerships of Cisgender Women and Transgender Men
DESCRIPTION:Ozzie and Harriet\, move over. A new couple is moving into the neighborhood. In the postmodern era\, advances in medical technologies allow some individuals categorized female at birth to live in accordance with their gender identities\, as men. While a growing body of literature on transgender men's experiences has come to the forefront\, relatively little exists to document the experiences of their partners. In Queering Families: The Postmodern Partnerships of Cisgender Women and Transgender Men\, Carla A. Pfeffer brings these experiences to light through interviews with the group most likely to partner and form families with transgender men: non-transgender (cisgender) women. \n\nDrawing upon in-depth interviews with fifty cisgender women partners of transgender men from across the United States and Canada\, Pfeffer details the experiences of a community that often seems unremarkable and ordinary on its surface. Cisgender women who partner with transgender men who are socially \"read\" as male are often (mis)perceived as part of a heterosexual couple or family. Yet not all cisgender women who partner with transgender men are comfortable with this invisible existence and comfortable normativity. Instead\, many of the cisgender women Pfeffer interviews hold deeply-valued queer identities that may be erased in their partnerships with transgender men. In this talk\, Pfeffer will detail the struggles and strengths of these postmodern \"Harriets\" as they work to build identities\, partnerships\, families\, and communities.\n\nCarla A. Pfeffer completed her doctoral work at the University of Michigan. She currently holds a joint appointment in Sociology and Women's and Gender Studies at the University of South Carolina. Her research\, employing qualitative and mixed-methods approaches\, considers thorny intersections between social stigma\, identity\, resistance\, and structure.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:The goal of this talk is to introduce how to use some fine techniques in algebraic geometry to obtain concrete combinatorial results. I will assume almost no background.\n\nRoughly\, \"arithmetic statistics\" refers to problems of counting a massive amount of arithmetic objects. For example\, consider the smooth affine plane curves of the form y^2 = f(x) with deg(f) = d over a finite field of p elements. A natural question to ask is: what is the probability of a degree d random curve to have many (i.e.\, 2p) points? An explicit answer to this question is known when d goes to infinity\, but one may ask what happens when d is some large finite integer.\n\nIn this talk\, I will explain how to approach such a question using explicit Betti numbers of manifolds called \"configuration spaces\". The connection of point-counting and Betti numbers can be established by a machine called \"\'etale cohomology\"\, especially via Grothedieck trace formula\, an analog of Lefschetz fixed point theorem in algebraic topology. In particular\, I will sketch how the convergence in d of the distribution of points on curves of the form y^2 = f(x) is a consequence of homological stability. Speaker(s): GilYoung Cheong (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.

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:MICHIGAN-MELLON COLLOQUIA: CONVERSATION 2 OF 2
DESCRIPTION:Michigan-Mellon Project\nThe Michigan/Mellon Project on Egalitarianism and the Metropolis\, a 4-year academic and research initiative focused on architecture\, urbanism and humanities research in Detroit\, Mexico City DF and Rio de Janeiro\, is made possible by a $1.3 million grant from the A. W. Mellon Foundation. The Mellon Foundation’s Architecture\, Urbanism\, and the Humanities is a new initiative in the Higher Education and Scholarship in the Humanities program interested in establishing multidisciplinary research programs that can generate new insights into changing urban conditions. The project allows the particularity of design practices to inform and be informed by broader questions of social justice\, social movements and transformative creative arts movements -  both historically and contemporaneously.\nMichigan-Mellon Colloquia this fall are two hours in length and will address the following questions:\nWhat do contemporary conceptions of justice demand of us as academics\, activists and cultural workers?\nWhat aspects of conventional city-making (planning\, architectural and urban design\, landscape design\, private and public investment\, etc.) are ripe for re-invention\, overturning\, or reconsideration in light of how lived experiences of the urban poor and others are falling short of our expectations?  \nWhat role does racial\, ethnic\, gender\, sexuality\, and nation of origin play in attempting to construct a more egalitarian city in Rio de Janeiro\, Mexico City and/or Detroit?\nSpeakers:\nJanet Attarian\, Deputy Director\, Detroit Planning and Development Office\nLars Graebner\, Clinical Associate Professor\, University of Michigan\nChristina Hansen\, Lecturer\, University of Michigan\nTo join\, please RSVP to Kate Grandfield\, 734.615.5260\, grandk@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:The ‘CSI Effect’: Do TV Programs Really Change Jury Behavior?
DESCRIPTION:Prosecutors claim that jurors who watch shows like CSI on television are wrongfully acquitting guilty criminals because they don’t see the kind of forensic science evidence that is presented on TV. \nThe media has labeled this the “CSI Effect.”  But is it true?  We’ll discuss empirical research into real juror expectations and demands for scientific evidence\, whether it might better be called the “tech effect\,” and how the criminal justice system might adjust to modern jurors. \n\nThis study group for those 50 and over will meet for 90 minutes on Wednesday\, December 7 and will be led by the Hon. Donald E. Shelton who directs the Criminology and Criminal Justice Program at UM-Dearborn.

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:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

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:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Cardy Formula for SUSY Theories and Localization
DESCRIPTION:I will consider 4d =1 supersymmetric theories on a compact Euclidean manifold of the form S1×3. Taking the limit of shrinking S1\, I will present a general formula for the limit of the localization integrand\, derived by simple effective theory considerations. The limit is given in terms of an effective potential for the holonomies around the S1\, whose minima determine the asymptotic behavior of the partition function. If the potential is minimized in the origin\, where it vanishes\, the partition function has a Cardy-like behavior fixed by Tr(R)\, while a nontrivial minimum gives a shift in the coefficient. I will also discuss the generalization to 6d N=(1\,0) indices and an application to Schur indices.

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:Other:Biological nitrous oxide formation via iron-nitrosyl intermediates
DESCRIPTION:Nitrous oxide (N2O) participates in ozone layer depletion and has a global warming potential nearly 300 times greater than that of CO2. The atmospheric N2O concentration has surged 120% since the pre-industrial era largely due to increased fertilizer use. An estimated 60–75% of N2O is emitted as a by-product of nitrifying or denitrifying microorganisms that transform ammonia (NH3) to nitrate (NO3–) or NO3– to dinitrogen (N2)\, respectively. Designing inhibitors for N2O-producing enzymes could mitigate these environmental consequences\, but this approach requires knowledge of the enzymatic mechanisms. The data presented will provide evidence for intermediates on the reaction pathways of two N2O-producing metalloenzymes: one enzyme produces N2O by reduction of nitric oxide (NO) while the other proceeds by oxidation of hydroxylamine (NH2OH). In both cases\, iron-nitrosyl intermediates directly precede N2O formation.\n\nFlavo-diiron protein (FDP) is a non-heme iron protein that catalyzes the two-electron reduction of 2 molecules of NO to N2O (NOR activity). The active site contains a diiron site adjacent to a flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-binding site. In order to separate the reactions of the diiron site from those of the FMN\, the reactivities of a deflavinated and fully-flavinated FDP with nitric oxide were compared. Both enzyme forms produced N2O\, indicating that the FMN is not necessary for N–N bond formation. Rapid-mixing techniques combined with vibrational and magnetic spectroscopies were used to characterize iron nitrosyl ({FeNO}n\, which is Enemark-Feltham notation\; n = number of metal d-electrons plus the unpaired NO electron) intermediates on the FDP NOR pathway. The combined data showed that NO sequentially bound to the two iron sites\; a diferrous-mononitrosyl (FeII-{FeNO}7) intermediate preceded formation of a diferrous-dinitrosyl ([{FeNO}7]2) species. Formation of the latter species was required for N2O formation.\n\nCytochrome (cyt) P460 is a heme-containing enzyme expressed by nitrifying bacteria. This enzyme contains a modified c-type heme active site in which the heme ring is cross-linked with a lysine from the protein. Previous work on cyt P460 identified it as a hydroxylamine (NH2OH) oxidase that produced nitrite (NO2–). However\, we found that under anaerobic conditions\, the enzyme stoichiometrically oxidizes 2 molecules of NH2OH to N2O. Enzyme kinetics\, UV-visible absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies were combined to establish a working mechanism of cyt P460 N2O production. In the presence of an oxidant\, the cyt P460 ferric-hydroxylamine (FeIII–NH2OH) adduct is oxidized to an {FeNO}6 unit. This species subsequently undergoes nucleophilic attack by a second equivalent of NH2OH\, resulting in N2O formation. A new pathway intermediate\, a six-coordinate {FeNO}7\, was recently found to precede the reactive {FeNO}6 intermediate. This new intermediate provides more insight into the cyt P460 hydroxylamine oxidase mechanism as well as the reactivity of iron-nitrosyls. \n\nJonathan Caranto\, PhD (Cornell University)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Tunnel Visions: The Rise and Demise of the Superconducting Super Collider\, 1983-1993
DESCRIPTION:Thirty years ago the US high-energy physics community planned the most powerful hadron collider ever attempted\, the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). The Department of Energy conducted a nation-wide site search. Stockbridge\, Michigan and Batavia\, Illinois were among the finalists\, but Waxahachie\, Texas won the competition. Initial construction began in 1989\, but by 1992 the project was in trouble. After spending nearly $3B\, Congress cancelled the SSC in 1993\, and Europe seized the energy frontier. In the talk I will recall the brief history of the SSC and discuss some of the reasons for its demise.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:The micro-price is a weighted average between the bid and ask prices\, where the weight is a simple function of the bid and ask sizes. The micro-price is a good predictor of future mid-price moves and is frequently used by high frequency trading algorithms to make micro-decisions\, such as whether to cancel\, submit a limit order or a market order. However\, not much effort has been made in determining whether the micro-price is a fair or efficient price. We redefine the micro-price as the limit of a sequence of expected mid-prices at future stopping times. We provide conditions for this sequence to converge. Volatility signature plots using this notion of micro-price indicate that our method is an effective method for filtering out microstructure noise.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:An endomorphism f of a normal projective variety X is polarized if the pullback via f of an ample divisor H is linearly equivalent to qH for some q>1. Non-trivial endomorphisms on projective spaces or multiplication maps on Abelian varieties are examples of such maps. We show that for mildly  singular X\, we can run an f-equivariant minimal model program. As a result\, the building blocks of polarized endomorphisms are those on Fano varieties of Picard number one and those on Abelian varieties (or their quasi-etale quotients). In particular\, we show that (a power of) every polarized endomorphism of a smooth rationally connected variety acts as a scalar on the Neron-Severi group. This is a joint work with S. Meng.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

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:Conference / Symposium:Beyond the Book: Rethinking Biblical Religion
DESCRIPTION:Before the Book: Rethinking Biblical Religion\n\nWe often imagine that the Bible began its life as the normative religious tradition(s) of ancient Israel. The research presented in this colloquium tells a new story about the origins of biblical literature within its ancient Near Eastern context.\n\nFeaturing: Simeon Chavel\, Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible\, University of Chicago\; Abraham Winitzer\, Associate Professor of Near Eastern Languages and History\, University of Notre Dame\; Piotr Michalowski\, George G. Cameron Professor Emeritus of Ancient Near Eastern Language and Civilizations\, University of Michigan\n\nThursday\, December 8th\, 2016\, 11:30am-2:00pm\nInstitute for the Humanities Osterman Common Room\, 1022 Thayer Building\n202 S Thayer St\, First Floor\n\nIn recognition of the lunch hour\, light refreshments will be served.\n\n\nSession I\n11:30am-12:40pm\n\nThe Argumentative Nature of Ancient Authors and Their Biblical Works:\nThe Law Codes\n\nSimeon Chavel\, University of Chicago\n\nThe presentation will propose that ancient authors and the works that have since become biblical cannot be taken to reflect the general view in their contemporary society or even the shared view of complete institutions. Rather some\, at least\, ought to be taken as the views of individuals interacting within their cultures\, advancing unique\, even idiosyncratic arguments about the past\, the present and the future\, and whose works and views may have perplexed and even put off their audience. The presentation will focus on the biblical legal material to illustrate what recommends this approach.\n\nSession II\n12:45pm-2:00pm\n\nBloody Murder! \nOn the Afterlife of Atra˙asīs and Man’s prima materia in Genesis 1-11\n\nAbraham Winitzer\, University of Notre Dame\n\nThe Primeval History in Genesis 1-11 has long been recognized as drawing inspiration from beyond Israel in the formation of this foundational portion of the Bible. This paper considers a case study in this regard\, concerning the interface of pre-Biblical traditions and their reflections in the Biblical text. Specifically\, this involves thinking about the primary elements comprising primeval man in terms of origins and adaptations. Along with the mystical divine spirit (rûah≥)\, the nexus of earth (ºada¢mâ) in the formation of man (ºa¢da¢m) with that of blood (da¢m) will be considered\, as a case of a Biblical formulation of materials originally beyond the Book. In so doing I will seek to demonstrate how this portion of the textualization process – from the beyond to the Book – took shape.  \n\nRespondent: Piotr Michalowski\, George G. Cameron Professor Emeritus of Ancient Near Eastern Language and Civilizations\, University of Michigan\n\nThis colloquium is cosponsored by the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\, the department of Near Eastern Studies\, the LSA Dean’s Office\, UMOR Small Grants to Support Major Conferences\, the Rackham Dean’s Strategic Initiative Fund\, the American Academy of Jewish Research\, and the American Academy of Religion.\n\nThis event is part of the Beyond the Bible: Rethinking Biblical Religion speaker series at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ion Channels\, Critical Points and Emergent Phenomena in Biology
DESCRIPTION:A Special Joint Seminar with Complex Systems and Biophysics.\n\nAbstract:\nBiological systems are immensely complicated at the molecular scale.  However\, their macroscopic behavior is rich\, but often comprehensible.   I will first present a geometric framework for quantifying this emergent simplicity\, highlighting parallels with continuum limits in physics.  I will then focus in on the plasma membrane\, a two dimensional liquid that surrounds mammalian cells.  Recent experiments have demonstrated that this membrane is close to a liquid-liquid critical point\, distinguished by emergent time and length scales much larger than individual molecules.    We have recently shown that anesthetics take membranes away from criticality while anesthetic reversers restore criticality. Membrane criticality has profound implications for ion channels\, mediating long-ranged forces\, sensitive allosteric regulation and non-Markovian dynamics.  This has led us to hypothesize that anesthetics influence ion channel function by disrupting the critical membrane.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Biopsychology Colloquium Talk
DESCRIPTION:The value of action: dissecting how the brain makes value and movement decisions\n\nDeciding what actions to perform is central to how our inner selves interact with the outer world\, a reality that is often not fully realized until these abilities are lost. The basal ganglia\, a subcortical structure that consists of two opposing pathways\, has been proposed to be responsible for encoding the reinforcement\, valuation and selection of actions. To better understand this interface of cognition and movement in this region\, we trained mice to make goal-oriented reaches while delivering cell-type-specific\, optogenetic stimulation during only the fastest or slowest reaches. Contrary to prevailing notions of basal ganglia function\, we found that biasing the activity of either pathway positively or negatively reinforced whatever action was stimulated.  The direction of the reinforcement was determined by which pathway was stimulated and was independent of the valence of the action itself\, implying a role in assessing value but not action selection. Additionally\, despite most decisions existing on a spectrum of options (like the velocity of a movement)\, most neuronal decision models only work for binary choices (left or right\, stop or start). To address this issue\, we combined computational modeling with simultaneous activity recordings dozens of neurons to create a mechanism that explain how the neural circuits make decisions along a continuous spectrum. These experiments shed new light on how decisions are made suggest that the learning and selection of how to behave occurs in a hierarchical system.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Historical Archaeologies of Overseas Chinese Laborers on the Transcontinental Railroad
DESCRIPTION:This talk will provide an overview of current research on Overseas Chinese communities in the United States\, focusing in particular on work camps occupied by the Chinese laborers who built the first transcontinental railroad during the late 1860s. While historical archaeologists have investigated sites occupied by ChineseAmericans since the 1960s\, the past decade has seen both a burst of new research activities as well as increased public interest. The audience will be introduced to the basic artifact types found on sites occupied by Overseas Chinese in the 19th century. Issues addressed will include distribution mechanisms as well as the role of particular artifacts for group bonding -and- marking social difference. I will draw parallels between the challenges faced by Chinese immigrants in the nineteenth century and our current political situation\, focusing on the meaning of labor\, the racial construction of the United States\, and variant moral discourses. Finally\, I will summarize what questions remain to be answered and what we can expect from the sub-field in the coming years.

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra
DESCRIPTION:This is based on joint work with Daniel Hernandez.\n\nThe Hilbert-Samuel multiplicity of an m-primary ideal is a well-known example of an interesting numerical invariant in Commutative Algebra. For rings of positive characteristic\, there are many invariants that are analogous to the Hilbert-Samuel multiplicity\, but instead are defined via sequences of ideals related by the Frobenius map. In general\, such sequences exhibit nonpolynomial growth\, and existence of limits is a difficult question.\n\nIn this talk\, we will discuss a proof of the existence of many limits in this context. Our method realizes these positive characteristic multiplicities as volumes of regions in euclidean space. In addition to existence\, this association provides new insights into these numerical limits. We will discuss how some properties of these limits relate to facts from convex geometry.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analysis/Probability Learning Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The restricted invertibility principle asserts that every square matrix L with unit length columns contains a large column submatrix whose least singular value is bounded away from zero. We will give a short\, elementary proof of a sharp version of this principle based on the method of interlacing polynomials. The proof avoids technical calculations\, and relies on classical estimates for the roots of Laguerre polynomials. Speaker(s): Alon Nishry (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Differential Equations
DESCRIPTION:In the theory of compressible aerodynamics\, a basic problem is to consider long time stability of motions of compressible gases in 3-D exterior domains. It can be reformulated as quasilinear wave equations in exterior domains with Neumann boundary conditions. In this talk\, I will introduce the related backgrounds both in fluid dynamics and in quasilinear wave equations. In addition\, when the equations fulfill null form\, I will explain\nthe ideas to prove the global well-posedness of this kind of initial-boundary value problem.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe worked with the City of Bogotá to study the effects of intensifying state presence on violence and perceptions of the state on the most violent city streets. States commonly use a mix of intensified armed force and public services to pacify violent areas and build legitimacy\, in situations ranging from inner city policing to counterinsurgency. This is a particularly common and celebrated approach in high crime areas of US cities. While backed by evidence from randomized trials\, these trials have been largely US-based and also fairly small in scale. Besides questions of statistical power\, this raises the question of whether these policing and state buillding strategies work at scale\, and also whether they have positive or negative externalities for surrounding areas. To investigate\, we worked with the Mayor’s office and police in Bogotá to identify the 2% (or 1\,919) highest-crime streets\, or \"hot spots”\, and assigned these streets to either: a two-thirds increase in police presence for 8 months\; basic municipal services (e.g. cleanup and lighting)\; both interventions\; or neither. Since violence could simply be displaced\, we structured the design to be able to estimate spatial spillovers within several radii. We find weak evidence of a 5-10% reduction in crime and violence\, with no evidence of displacement to neighboring streets. These impacts seem to be greatest when the treatment is most intense\, when streets receive both the policing and municipal services interventions\, especially in the first weeks of the intervention\, and in the highest crime streets. Even then the results are somewhat fragile and have low statistical power. We also see no evidence of an improvement in attitudes towards the police or city government. The results suggest that intensive\, highly targeted\, shorter term rotating interventions are promising\, but that the existing literature may overstate the benefits of intensive policing for reducing violence and increasing state legitimacy.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar: Counter-intuitive ecological dynamics: subsystem instability as a driving mechanism
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nIntuition suggests that increasing species mortality (e.g\, through harvesting) will cause a decrease in population abundance. Yet\, in some systems\, increased mortality causes an increase in abundance (panel A)\; this is known as a hydra effect. Classical ecological theory predicts that in predator-prey cycles\, peaks in prey density are followed by peaks in predator density. However\, cycles exhibiting different patterns (even the reverse!) have been observed in many empirical system (panel B). In this talk\, I show that the underlying mechanism connecting and driving these unexpected and counter-intuitive patterns is subsystem instability\, i.e.\, instability in a subcommunity of the whole community is responsible for altering population and community-level ecological dynamics. For predator-prey systems\, I show that both patterns are driven by instability in the prey subcommunity (caused by either interspecific or intraspecific prey variation). I then discuss how these results extend to communities of any size. Together\, this work suggests subsystem instability may be an important general mechanism driving population and community-level dynamics in natural systems.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology
DESCRIPTION:While the geometric theory of finite type surfaces is well developed\, the study of hyperbolic geometric structures on infinite type surfaces (that is\, infinitely generated fundamental group) is still in its infancy.  On the other hand\, the (complex analytic) theory of infinite type Riemann surfaces\, for example plane domains\, is much more advanced.\n\nIn this talk we will first describe some of the known results on the geometry and topology of such surfaces and then discuss new results involving the relationship between Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates and a version of the classical type problem (whether or not the surface carries a Green's function).  In particular\, we study so called tight flute surfaces - possibly incomplete hyperbolic surfaces constructed by linearly gluing infinitely many tight pairs of pants along their cuffs - and the relationship between their type and geometric structure.  This is joint work with Dragomir Saric.  Speaker(s): Ara Basmajian (City University of New York)

DESCRIPTION:The Bonderman Fellowship offers graduating LSA seniors $20\,000 to travel the world. They must travel to 6 countries in 2 regions over the course of 8 months and are expected to immerse themselves in independent and enriching explorations. Bonderman Fellows engage with cultures\, people\, and areas of the world with which they are not familiar\, providing them the opportunity to develop entirely new perspectives.\n\nUM is one of only two schools—along with the University of Washington—to offer the Bonderman award. David Bonderman traveled internationally as a Sheldon Fellow after graduating from Harvard Law School in the 1960s\, and that experience shaped the rest of his life. He created the Bonderman Travel Fellowship in 1995 to provide students with a similar opportunity. Fellows make their own travel itineraries and\, because this is meant to be an individual experience\, cannot engage in formal study at a foreign university\, conduct formal research\, or travel with a guest or organized group.\n\nPizza and other refreshments will be served at all Bonderman info sessions.\n\nThe Bonderman info sessions in the CGIS office are back-to-back sessions without additional time for questions after the allotted 30 minutes.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Ragbirds Presents Ebird & Friends Holiday Show
DESCRIPTION:It happens in the middle of Michigan in the heart of December. Since 2008\, it has become a yearly tradition for The Ragbirds to present this unique family-friendly holiday show called Ebird & Friends. The songs and artists change from year to year\, but the spirit of the event is community\, the soul is creativity and the show is unforgettable. In addition of course to The Ragbirds\, t​his year's featured artists are: Seth Bernard\, The Accidentals\, Emilee Petersmark and Kate Pillsbury of The Crane Wives\, Frank Allison\, and ​Rick Chyme. The rest of the lineup includes Jen Sygit\, Ross Huff & Brennan Andes (The Macpodz)\, Brandon Smith (Appleseed Collective)\, Loren Kranz (Barbarosa Brothers)\, Jessica McCumons (The Understorey)\, Bethany Greczynski (Rhyta) Mike Boyd\, Dan Piccolo\, Shelly Smith and more. \"Ebird\"\, of course\, is Erin Zindle\, lead singer\, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of The Ragbirds. Erin’s budding childhood love of music was sparked at Christmastime. The holidays were the one time each year that the entire Zindle family gathered to make music together and that early communal experience of music took deep roots. Fiddles\, horns\, bagpipes\, guitars\, and instruments from all over the world will be sounding their voices together in harmony. Expect to be entertained\, surprised\, cheered and warmed by this collaborative artistic performance of new and old songs\, including The Ragbirds original songs inspired by the holiday. This show has become a phenomenon—it's up to three nights\, and it shows no signs of slowing down..

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: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:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

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:Dance Master Class Repertory Series: Alan Good
DESCRIPTION:Alan Good will lead a class featuring part of Merce Cunningham’s Torse (1976). Good grew up in Ann Arbor and Munich\, Germany and danced with the Cunningham company from 1978 to 1994. The Wall Street Journal wrote of a New York season\, “most memorable of all is Alan Good\, who dances like an unpredictable force of nature.”\n\nEach Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities. Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class.\nIn the final 15 minutes\, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist\, discussing their career\; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional\, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:San Duanmu and Zuxuan Qin will speak on \"A Judgment Study on the Interaction among Phonology\, Morpho-syntax\, and Semantics.\"\n\nAbstract\nThere are several strong generalizations in Chinese on the interaction between phonology and morpho-syntax. A typical case involves word length preferences in NN compounds\, such as ‘coal store’\, shown in (1). The preferred length patterns are 2+2\, 2+1\, and 1+1\, where 1 is a monosyllabic noun and 2 a disyllabic one. In contrast\, 1+2 is judged to be ill formed. As has been widely reported\, many Chinese words\, including ‘coal’ and ‘store’\, can be monosyllabic or disyllabic\, with little difference in meaning.\n\n(1)        Word length preferences in Chinese NN compounds\n\nLength\n          N1\n           N2\n                Gloss\n \n2+2\n               meitan\n     shangdian    \n‘coal store’\n  \n2+1               \nmeitan\n     dian              \n‘coal store’\n\n*1+2\n             mei\n           shangdian    \n‘coal store’\n  \n1+1              \nmei            \ndian             \n‘coal store’\n\n\nThe generalizations are intuitively robust and widely accepted in the literature. In addition\, it has been shown that they follow from general phonological principles. Moreover\, supporting evidence is found from corpus data\, where 1+2 NN occurs rarely (well below 2% of all NN compounds)\, while 2+2\, 2+1\, and 1+1 occur at much higher frequencies.  \n\nHowever\, the generalizations have not been confirmed by acceptability judgment experiments. In addition\, a number of important questions remain. For example\, is the acceptability judgment clear cut or gradient? Are there differences among 2+2\, 2+1\, and 1+1? Are there other factors that influence acceptability judgment? We report the results of an acceptability judgment experiment that reveals a far more complicated picture. It is found that besides the phonological factor\, which remains strong\, morphological\, syntactic and semantic factors also play significant roles.

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:Energy & Environmental Economics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis paper focuses on how give and take frames are constructed in a linear\, repeated public good experiment\, how those formulations influence behavior\, and how framing effects differ among different types of decision makers. Previous framing studies create frame via a wide variety of techniques\, often “stacking the deck” in favor of a framing effect. As a result\, it is not often clear what element(s) of the framing design is (are) responsible for the framing effect. The inherent heterogeneity among decision-makers adds another layer of complexity to understanding framing. With few exceptions\, framing and heterogeneity among decision makers in public good dilemmas have been examined separately. Where they have been jointly explored\, results have been ambiguous. In this research\, I establish frames via a  factorial design that decomposes frame along two dimensions\, the action implicit in the decision (i.e.\, give or take) and the language used to describe the decision (i.e.\, neutral or non-neutral). Each of four frames was imposed on a different set of study participants\, whose decision-making types were previously determined via a separate dilemma. Among the four types of decision-makers\, individuals who were expected not to cooperate cooperated trivially or not at all and demonstrated no sensitivity to framing. Individuals previously assessed as low\, conditional\, and high cooperators cooperated at distinct and non-trivial levels that declined over the course of the repeated dilemma. Where framing effects were observed\, the two dimensions of frame did not uniformly influence every type of decision-maker. Non-neutral language yielded lower cooperation in the give treatment among conditional and low cooperators. Taking yielded lower cooperation in the neutral treatment among low cooperators.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Interdisciplinary Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:Density stratification and interaction with boundaries can add a considerable layer of complexity to the dynamics of fluids\, even in the simplest setups: for instance\, moving rigid or deformable bodies\, vortex rings\, jets and waves may drag ambient fluids into regions where buoyancy forces can arise\, thus creating strong flows unless mitigated by mixing or viscosity.  The interplay between these components can give rise to critical phenomena\, whereby different time evolutions and outcomes can be expected when crossing sharp parametric thresholds. This talk will present an overview of our theoretical\, computational\, and experimental studies on a class of such problems\, focusing on the associated transport\, mixing and interaction with structures and boundary geometries. The main examples will be drawn from the settling of rigid spheres and the rising of jets or plumes in stratified waters\, and from the dispersion of solutes in microfluidic ducts and pipes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hermeneutical Impasses
DESCRIPTION:When people respond to chats of ‘Black lives matter’ with ‘All lives matter’ or excoriate Colin Kaepernick for being “anti-military” or “anti-American” when he sits or kneels during the playing of the National Anthem\, there appears to be a break in understanding. BLM protestors and Kaepernick understand their actions and messages in one way\, detractors in quite a different way. I call these breaks in understanding \"hermeneutical impasses.\" In this talk I discuss the nature of these impasses and the challenges a particular type of impasse presents for resolving it.\n\nhttp://www.memphis.edu/philosophy/people/bios/luvell-anderson.php

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminar | Experimental Tests of Vacuum Energy
DESCRIPTION:While the current vacuum energy of the Universe is very small\, in our standard cosmological picture it has been much larger at earlier epochs. We try to address the question of what are possible ways to try to experimentally verify this. One direction is to look for systems where vacuum energy constitutes a non-negligible fraction of the total energy\, and study the properties of those. Another possibility is to focus on the epochs around cosmic phase transitions\, when the vacuum energy is of the same order as the total energy. Along these lines we investigate properties of neutron stars and the imprint of phase transitions on primordial gravitational waves.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SoConDi Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Dave Ogden will speak about \"Positive Attitudes Through Better Understanding: The Role of Perceptual Adaptation in Accent-Based Discrimination.\"\n\nAbstract\nIt has been argued that language\, including accent\, is one of the last domains in which discrimination is widely acceptable\, and that language discrimination is a “back door” to discrimination on other traits like nationality\, ethnicity\, and gender (Lippi-Green\, 2012). Accent discrimination resulting from negative attitudes linked to stereotypes of social groups is well-recognized in sociolinguistic research (Dragojevic & Giles\, 2016\; Gluszek & Dovidio\, 2010). More recently\, researchers have begun to assess how perceptual fluency\, or the effortfulness that listeners feel in understanding accented speech\, affects attitudes towards speakers. Disfluent perception\, the experience associated with effortful information processing\, leads to negative emotions and attitudes toward that information (Alter\, 2013\; Alter & Oppenheimer\, 2009)\, and disfluent perception of an unfamiliar accent leads to negative evaluations of the speaker (Dragojevic & Giles\, 2016). Yet listeners have a robust ability to adapt to and understand highly variable speech patterns\, as shown by improvements in comprehension of non-native speech with listening experience (Baese-Berk\, Bradlow\, & Wright\, 2013\; Bradlow & Bent\, 2008\; Sidaras\, Alexander\, & Nygaard\, 2009). Thus\, to the extent that negative attitudes are the result of difficult comprehension\, attitudes should improve with adaptation. To test this hypothesis\, I have designed an experiment that measures changes in both listener comprehension and attitudes. Pilot results indicate that listeners’ objective comprehension accuracy does improve over time\, but listeners do not report more ease of comprehension or more positive attitudes. I will present possible reasons for this result\, as well as design changes based on pilot feedback.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis paper initiates the investigation into pre-matching gambles. Examples of pre-matching gambles include occupational choices before the marriage market\, college major choices before the labor market\, and financial portfolio management to attract future investors. Surprisingly\, people take risky investments they would have not taken if not for the subsequent participation in competitive matching markets. A fundamental and unique feature of the competitive matching market\, which I call the competitive rematching effect\, drives pre-matching gambles. The competitive rematching effect drives gambling independently of the shape of the surplus function\, contrary to the possible misconception that surplus supermodularity and positive-assortative matching play a role. Finally\, the paper discusses implications to efficiency and inequality associated with gambles\, and to occupational choices with marital concerns.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Graduate Student Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Graduate Students Jiseung Kim and Ariana Bancu from the Department of Linguistics with present at this colloquium.\n\nJiseung Kim: \"Prosodic accommodation as a driver of sound change: accommodation in Seoul Korean Accentual Phrase\"\n\nAbstract\nThe goal of this study is to examine prosodic accommodation\, specifically testing accommodation at prosodic boundaries for speakers of Seoul Korean. Twenty-five native speakers of Seoul Korean participated in a sentence completion task where they were asked to complete a target sentence after reading (in the baseline condition) or listening to (in the test condition) a context sentence. In both cases\, participants completed the sentence by speaking. The control group consisted of 11 participants who were given the auditory context sentences with unmanipulated Seoul Korean prosody. The auditory context sentences provided to the 14 test group participants had artificially manipulated prosody. The manipulation lowered the f0 of the phrase-final syllables that were associated with the Accentual Phrase-final rise\, which is a characteristic intonational property of Seoul Korean. The f0 values – f0 maximum\, minimum\, mean\, and range – were extracted from the AP-final syllables of the participants’ responses\, and were compared between the baseline and test conditions. The results of the linear mixed-effects model analysis on the nine test group participants showed evidence of convergence\, while ten control group participants did not show accommodation effect. The results suggest that prosodic accommodation may provide insight into the current diversity of prosodic systems among Korean dialects.\n\nAriana Bancu: “Word order Variation and Change in Transylvanian Saxon.”\n\nAbstract\nThis research illustrates word order variation in Viscri Saxon (a dialect of Transylvanian Saxon spoken in Viscri Romania) and accounts for the variation within a language contact framework (c.f. Thomason\, 2001). To show that verb cluster structures transferred into Transylvanian Saxon (TrSax) through German\, I compare current data collected through sociolinguistic interviews to evidence from previous studies on TrSax (Holzträger\, 1912\; McClure 1973\; Sift\, 2015)\, and to data from related West Germanic languages. Overall\, findings show that verb clusters pattern differently in Viscri Saxon than in related dialects and languages\, displaying flexible distribution between available structures in various areas. The distribution is conditioned by the languages in contact with Viscri Saxon: German and Romanian. While verbal structures transferred from German into Viscri Saxon\, Romanian may aid in maintaining the TrSax patterns in Viscri Saxon\, due to similarities between TrSax and Romanian structures. The individual variation displayed among speakers strengthens these findings\, as variation is present only in speakers who use all three languages regularly. One speaker\, who does not use Romanian\, uses only German-type structures\, however another speaker\, who does not use German\, uses only TrSax structures.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Treecode methods provide a useful tool for accelerating computation in many-body problems. These methods involve a hierarchical decomposition of the computational domain into a tree-like structure of particle clusters\, allowing for fast evaluation of long-range interactions. \n\nIn this talk\, we explore the application of these tools to two related biomolecular problems. First\, we will discuss the evaluation of Coulomb and screened-Coulomb potentials resulting from a collection of point charges. Second\, we will explore the application of treecodes to a boundary-integral method for solving the Poisson-Boltzmann Equation\, a model for the electrostatic interactions of biomolecules in an ionic solvent. Speaker(s): Leighton Wilson (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Performance:The Ragbirds Presents Ebird & Friends Holiday Show
DESCRIPTION:It happens in the middle of Michigan in the heart of December. Since 2008\, it has become a yearly tradition for The Ragbirds to present this unique family-friendly holiday show called Ebird & Friends. The songs and artists change from year to year\, but the spirit of the event is community\, the soul is creativity and the show is unforgettable. In addition of course to The Ragbirds\, t​his year's featured artists are: Seth Bernard\, The Accidentals\, Emilee Petersmark and Kate Pillsbury of The Crane Wives\, Frank Allison\, and ​Rick Chyme. The rest of the lineup includes Jen Sygit\, Ross Huff & Brennan Andes (The Macpodz)\, Brandon Smith (Appleseed Collective)\, Loren Kranz (Barbarosa Brothers)\, Jessica McCumons (The Understorey)\, Bethany Greczynski (Rhyta) Mike Boyd\, Dan Piccolo\, Shelly Smith and more. \"Ebird\"\, of course\, is Erin Zindle\, lead singer\, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of The Ragbirds. Erin’s budding childhood love of music was sparked at Christmastime. The holidays were the one time each year that the entire Zindle family gathered to make music together and that early communal experience of music took deep roots. Fiddles\, horns\, bagpipes\, guitars\, and instruments from all over the world will be sounding their voices together in harmony. Expect to be entertained\, surprised\, cheered and warmed by this collaborative artistic performance of new and old songs\, including The Ragbirds original songs inspired by the holiday. This show has become a phenomenon—it's up to three nights\, and it shows no signs of slowing down..

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

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:Performance:The Ragbirds Presents Ebird & Friends Holiday Show
DESCRIPTION:It happens in the middle of Michigan in the heart of December. Since 2008\, it has become a yearly tradition for The Ragbirds to present this unique family-friendly holiday show called Ebird & Friends. The songs and artists change from year to year\, but the spirit of the event is community\, the soul is creativity and the show is unforgettable. In addition of course to The Ragbirds\, t​his year's featured artists are: Seth Bernard\, The Accidentals\, Emilee Petersmark and Kate Pillsbury of The Crane Wives\, Frank Allison\, and ​Rick Chyme. The rest of the lineup includes Jen Sygit\, Ross Huff & Brennan Andes (The Macpodz)\, Brandon Smith (Appleseed Collective)\, Loren Kranz (Barbarosa Brothers)\, Jessica McCumons (The Understorey)\, Bethany Greczynski (Rhyta) Mike Boyd\, Dan Piccolo\, Shelly Smith and more. \"Ebird\"\, of course\, is Erin Zindle\, lead singer\, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of The Ragbirds. Erin’s budding childhood love of music was sparked at Christmastime. The holidays were the one time each year that the entire Zindle family gathered to make music together and that early communal experience of music took deep roots. Fiddles\, horns\, bagpipes\, guitars\, and instruments from all over the world will be sounding their voices together in harmony. Expect to be entertained\, surprised\, cheered and warmed by this collaborative artistic performance of new and old songs\, including The Ragbirds original songs inspired by the holiday. This show has become a phenomenon—it's up to three nights\, and it shows no signs of slowing down..
