SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Atlantic Circulations: The Travels of Slaves and Ex-Slaves in the Era of Revolutions
DESCRIPTION:The middle passage was never the exclusive (or most terrible) means by which Africans or men and women of African descent circulated through the Atlantic World. Even as slavery remained an institution share by most American colonies or independent nations\, Africans boarded ships to Louisiana\, Guiana\, Saint-Domingue\, and Brazil. They had interests in these places (familial\, commercial\, religious\, etc.) and thus risked travel and its consequences. Slaves\, of course\, also circulated as sailors\, domestics\, and fugitives. Some were sent to Europe as gifts or to learn a new skill. After successive abolitions of slavery\, Africans came to the Americas\, sometimes on the same boats that preceding generations had travelled as captives. Their status was that of indenture servants\, “rescued” from slavery in Africa to work (quitelike slaves) in the plantations of post-slavery New World. These many ways of crossing the oceans and seas will be our topic. We will unveil them to understand how they have been important\, early dimensions of the Black Atlantic. \n\n- Céline Flory (EHESS\, visiting professor in the Department of History): “Emancipation without Freedom: The Practice of African Captive ‘Repurchase’ in the French Post-slavery Era”\n- Jessica Marie Johnson (John Hopkins University): “Crossings/La Traversée: African Women in New Orleans' Atlantic World before 1769”\n- Jennifer Palmer (University of Georgia): “The Other Side of the Atlantic: Slavery and Servitude in Eighteenth-Century La Rochelle.”\n\nChair:\n- Martha Jones (University of Michigan)\nComments:\n- Jean Hébrard (EHESS and University of Michigan).

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:Archival Methods and American Literature
DESCRIPTION:Please join us as three esteemed scholars discuss how archival research shapes the practice of American literary and cultural history in the 21st century. Panelists will share stories about their experiences using archives and discuss how archival work can facilitate cross-disciplinary efforts in the humanities. \n\nPanelists:\n\nEric Slauter\, Director of The Karla Scherer Center for the Study of American Culture\, Associate Professor of English at the University of Chicago\, focuses his scholarship chiefly on transformations in political thought and behavior in the eighteenth century.  He has a strong interest in the material history of books\, and completed a project\, Walden’s Carbon Footprint: People\, Plants\, Animals\, and Machines in the Making of an American Classic. A blend of environmental\, labor\, and literary history\, the project examines the supply-chain of raw materials in the 1854 first edition of Thoreau’s book (from cotton-based paper and linen thread to animal-skin glue)\, considers the many people who contributed to its production (including enslaved African-Americans in the South\, commodity brokers\, northern mill workers\, European rag-pickers\, and women and children in the printing trades)\, and reflects on the literary genealogy of our contemporary desire to know the origin as well as the environmental and social impact of objects in our daily lives.  Eric will also be lecturing on Thursday\, Febuary 2 at 4:00 PM at Angell Hall\, Room 3154 on his project Walden’s Carbon Footprint: People\, Plants\, Animals\, and Machines in the Making of an American Classic.\n\nCathleen Baker\, Conservation Librarian Emerita (U of M)\, is a paper and book conservator and educator for more than forty-five years in England and the United States.  She is the author of numerous articles and books including By His Own Labor: The Biography of Dard Hunter (2000) and the award-winning From the Hand to the Machine. Nineteenth-Century American Paper and Mediums: Technologies\, Materials\, and Conservation (2010). \n\nSusan (Scotti) Parrish - Susan Scott Parrish is an Associate Professor in the Department of English Language and Literature and the Program in the Environment at the University of Michigan\; she is also a Fellow at the Graham Environmental Sustainability Institute (UM).  Her book American Curiosity: Cultures of Natural History in the Colonial British Atlantic World (UNCP\, 2006) was awarded the Jamestown Prize and the Ralph Waldo Emerson Prize\; the Emerson prize is given by the Phi Beta Kappa Society to one book each year for its contribution to understanding “the intellectual and cultural condition of humanity.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Constructing Gender
DESCRIPTION:Ask U-M students\, alumni\, or fans what symbolizes the University of Michigan\, and you’ll likely hear the Big House\, the Diag\, along with the Michigan Union and the Michigan League. Since they officially opened in 1919 and 1929\, respectively\, the Union and League have been destinations for generations of Wolverines yet few know the rich history of the buildings’ origins or about the architects who brought them both to life: brothers and U-M alums Irving K. and Allen Pond.\n\nThe exhibition\, organized in celebration of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial in 2017\, illuminates the architecture and bustling student life of these iconic buildings using original drawings\, renderings\, photographs\, color studies\, and even dance cards from the Bentley Historical Library\, which serves as the University of Michigan archives. These fascinating documents reveal how the buildings were conceived\, constructed\, and first occupied by students and alumni. Guest curated by Nancy Bartlett of the Bentley Historical Library\, the exhibition reveals how the Ponds meticulously conceived and constructed the two clubs—one for men\, one for women—by weaving ideas about gender and society into the very fabric of the buildings themselves.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, artist Ernestine Ruben (BSDEs ’53) photographed the once-famed industrial complex Willow Run in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Designed by her grandfather\, Detroit architect Albert Kahn\, for the Ford Motor Company\, Willow Run was an exemplar of American defense manufacturing because of its efficient mass-production of B-24 Liberators during World War II.\n\nFor this exhibition\, Ruben overlaid interior views of the now-dormant factory with imagined glimpses into her body’s interior landscape. The resulting compositions seem to breathe energy and light into the stagnant and cavernous spaces of Willow Run and suggest a longing for a productive existence undeterred by mortality for both Willow Run and the artist. Her grandfather’s role in the history of the site underscores Ruben’s personal connection.\n\nThe exhibition presents Ruben’s photographs of Willow Run in UMMA’s Photography Gallery and an original film—co-created by Ruben and video artist Seth Bernstein and featuring an original score by award-winning composer Stephen Hartke—in the Museum’s Forum.\n\nLead support for Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run: Mobilizing Memory is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.\n\n\n\nLead support for Victors for the Arts: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Fridays at Noon Lecture Series. On anti-mindfulness versus wound-as-guide: competing figures of lay and ascetic coping with chronic pain in Thailand
DESCRIPTION:In the last ten years\, there has been a worldwide surge in mindfulness as an approach to coping with chronic pain\, fueled partly by a turn away from opiates for palliation and toward more functionality-based models that require pain sufferers to incorporate their pain into daily life. In this talk\, I use fieldwork with chronic pain patients in Thailand to question the core assumptions of this mindfulness movement\, as well some core assumptions in contemporary scholarship on Buddhism\, with dramatic stakes for individuals navigating lives full of pain. Chronic pain patients in Thailand have almost universally concluded that mindfulness as a practice worsens their pain\, and have thus turned instead to various forms of \"anti-mindful\" but deeply Buddhist practice\, combining various chimeras of Buddhist teachings on loving-kindness\, karma and non-self instead to help them manage their pain. I compare the experiences of these practitioners to ascetic monks also suffering from chronic pain\, who have begun to use their pain to unsettle the assumed relationship between suffering and enlightenment\, pointing to the brutal reality of liberation as an all-or-nothing state of being. I include a in-depth analysis of one monk\, who uses his own tumor with a dramatic wound as a teaching tool to demonstrate this paradox about enlightenment. The result of this analysis is a new way of viewing \"Buddhisms\" as multiple overlapping and contingent ways of viewing the world that practitioners -- lay and monastic alike -- constantly reconfigure to deal with the ever-changing reality of their pain. As a practicing physician\, I conclude with the stakes of this debate both for my own care for chronic pain patients in clinics in Thailand and the U.S.\, and for the global quest to find non-pharmacological technologies to guide the way through painful lives.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Symposium: From Archives to Nail Guns: Practical Applications of Graduate History Training
DESCRIPTION:Learn how a team of graduate students from diverse fields and chronological specializations collaborated to produce the exhibit “The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan” (on display at the Hatcher Graduate Library Gallery\, Room 100\, until February 25). Turned loose in the archive to find compelling stories\, they identified four episodes in U-M history around which to organize the exhibit. The challenge then became interpreting those stories for a visual medium\, linking them thematically\, and constructing a physical exhibit that conveyed those connections. Members of the student team will talk about the challenges and rewards of this project\, how it intersected with their graduate training\, and what they learned by having to take into account a variety of stakeholders as they developed historical interpretations.\n\nFeaturing:\nMichelle McClellan (Assistant Professor\, History\, Residential College)\nJonathan Farr (Lecturer\, History)\nNora Krinitsky (Doctoral Candidate\, History)\nEmily Price (Doctoral Candidate\, History)\nKate Silbert (Doctoral Candidate\, History and Women's Studies)\n\nFree and open to the public. Lunch provided. \n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Politicized Science: Why Evidence Still Matters
DESCRIPTION:If values are ubiquitous in science\, and I think they are\, then we can no longer use the presence of values to discriminate between good and bad science. Some scientific hypotheses can be empirically well-supported and value-laden. How? Much depends on the nature of empirical support\, and the definition of values. I have argued that values can function as empirical claims\, and that where relevant and well-supported by evidence\, values can increase the empirical strength of particular scientific theories. My argument has been referred to as the “values as evidence” approach. This approach is particularly important for explaining the salutary effects in scientific research of some feminist values\, and the negative effects of all sexist values. In this paper I respond to recent feminist concerns with my approach. In defense of the values as evidence view\, I focus on the need to rethink the nature of our political values\, including our feminist values. We need to examine where even our most cherished political values come from and why we hold them. This means recognizing the contingency of our values\, and the importance of subjecting them to critical scrutiny. I show that the evidence-based nature of these values is neither a weakness nor an idealization. Abandoning the quest for certainty\, embracing pragmatic inquiry\, muddling through with our fallible inductive inferences\, these are the best practices we’ve got\, in science as in politics\, and perhaps especially in politically-informed science. As the history of political revolution reminds us\, it’s also our only hope.\n\nPresented by IRWG's Feminist Science Studies program.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Interdisciplinary Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:The mean first exit time\, escape probability and transitional probability density are utilized to quantify dynamical behaviors of stochastic differential equations with non-Gaussian\, alpha-stable type Levy motions. Taking advantage of the Toeplitz matrix structure of the time-space discretization\, a fast and accurate numerical algorithm is proposed to simulate the nonlocal Fokker-Planck equations on either a bounded or infinite domain. Under a specified condition\, the scheme is shown to satisfy a discrete maximum principle and to be convergent. The numerical results for two prototypical stochastic systems\, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck system and the double-well system are shown. Speaker(s): Xiaofan Li (Illinois Institute of Technology)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry
DESCRIPTION:The Zimmer Program is a collection of conjectures and questions regarding actions of lattices in higher-rank simple Lie groups on compact manifolds.  For instance\, it is conjectured that all non-trivial volume-preserving actions are built from algebraic examples using standard constructions.  In particular --- on manifolds whose dimension is below the dimension of all algebraic examples --- Zimmer's conjecture asserts that every action is finite. With D. Fisher\, S. Hurtado\, we recently solved Zimmer's conjecture for actions of cocompact lattices in Sl(n\,R)\, n>=3.\n\nI will give an overview of our proof and explain some of the ingredients used in that proof: Zimmer cocycle superrigidity\, Ratner's measure classification theorem\, strong property (T)\, and smooth ergodic theory\nof actions of higher-rank abelian groups.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminar | The Black Hole Causality Paradox
DESCRIPTION:The black hole information paradox is really a combination of two problems: the causality paradox and the entanglement problem. The causality paradox arises because in the semiclassical approximation infalling matter gets causally trapped inside its own horizon\; it is therefore unable to send its information back to infinity if we disallow propagation outside the light cone. We show that  the causality paradox can be resolved by local effects in the fuzzball paradigm\, and contrast this resolution with other proposed paradigms where nonlocal effects like wormholes are required to exist.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ryle-ing the Irreal: sensory imagining as knowing about sensing
DESCRIPTION:Gilbert Ryle claims that perception involves both sensation and thought. Sensory imagining\, he holds\, though usually considered to involve something like the recreation of sensation\, in fact involves only the deployment of perceptual thought. Ryle thus offers the most radical alternative to the account of imagining that has dominated thinking in both philosophy and psychology.\n\nUltimately\, Ryle’s radical anti-sensationalism proves untenable. Nonetheless\, in theorizing the imagination much can be learned from his emphasis on the role of thought or knowledge\, and his de-emphasisising the role of anything like sensation. I try to say more about the kind of knowledge in play\, and to use that to capture various important aspects of sensory imagining. I concede that perceptual thought alone cannot be all there is to such imaginative states. The residue can be distinguished sharply from perceptual sensation\, and its role in imagining can\nbe circumscribed\, but its existence must be acknowledged.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combinatorics
DESCRIPTION:Let A be an abelian group. A colored sum free set of A is a list (a_1\,b_1\,c_1)\, (a_2\,b_2\,c_2)\, ...\, (a_N\,b_N\,c_N) of triples of elements of A such that a_i+b_j+c_k=0 if and only if i=j=k. Extremal combinatorialists aim to construct large colored sum-free sets\, both because it is fun and because it has applications in the construction of fast matrix multiplication algorithms. Note that\, if X is a subset of A with no three term arithmetic progressions\, then the set of (x\,-2x\,x) for x in X is a colored sum-free set\, so bounds on colored sum-free sets are in particular bounds on sets without 3-term arithmetic progressions. Until May of 2016\, the best such bounds were of the form A^(1-o(1)). Last May\, Ellenberg and Gijswijt\, building on work of Croot\, Lev and Pach\, proved bounds of the form A^c for c Speaker(s): David Speyer (U. Michigan)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Recon and Implications of the November 14th Mw 7.8 Kaikoura Earthquake (New Zealand)
DESCRIPTION:The recent MW 7.8 Kaikoura Earthquake in New Zealand was one of the largest in New Zealand history and produced some of the largest surface displacements ever observed in a continental earthquake. Initial observations of faulting and landsliding are troublesome to the hazards community. Surface rupture of at least nine different faults\, both on land and offshore\, accommodated upper plate transpression at the interface between continental strike-slip faulting and subduction. The complex and widespread array of faults that ruptured have virtually every possible orientation and slip sense\, ranging from sinistral normal to pure strike-slip and dextral reverse faults. The earthquake involved coeval rupture of both low slip rate (< 1 mm yr-1) and high slip rate (~20 mm yr-1) faults\, ruptured through some preexisting fault scarps while passing over others\, and jumped over important plate boundary faults. Over 80\,000 landslides and have been identified\, with hundreds damming streams and potentially posing a flooding hazard in the coming months. Some of the largest landslides were seemingly related to fault surface rupture rather than strong ground motions. Determining the relationship between fault structure at depth\, surface rupture patterns\, strong ground motions\, fault triggering mechanisms\, and landslide hazard are key research directions that are being explored. Lessons from this earthquake other recent earthquakes in New Zealand have important implications for seismic hazard.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | The Interjacent Intellectual:  Conceptual Struggles for Authenticity in Three Indian Philosophers
DESCRIPTION:For Surendranatha Dasgupta and his contemporaries in late colonial and early post-colonial India\, the “impossible meeting” of East and West was not an abstract puzzle in the theory of interculturalism but a challenge to find an authentic interpretation of lived experience. What does authenticity consist in for a thinker as much rooted in two life-worlds\, and as much thereby alienated from either? In the philosophical and non-philosophical writings of S. Dasgupta\, K.C. Bhattacharya\, A.C. Mukherji\, S. Radhakrishnan\, and others\, questions of selfhood and subjectivity became\, for good reason\, dominant preoccupations. I will speak about their explorations of the phenomenology of interjacency and its relationship to the search for authenticity.\n\nJonardon Ganeri’s research interests are in consciousness\, self\, attention\, the epistemology of inquiry\, the idea of philosophy as a practice and its relationship with literary form\, case-based reasoning\, multiple-category ontologies\, non-classical logics\, realism in the theory of meaning\, the history of ideas in early modern South Asia\, the polycentricity of modernity\, cosmopolitanism and cross-cultural hermeneutics\, intellectual affinities between India\, Greece and China\, and early Buddhist philosophy of mind. Ganeri teaches courses in the philosophy of mind\, the nature of subjectivity\, Buddhist philosophy\, the history of Indian philosophical traditions. He also supervises PhDs on Indian philosophical texts in classical Sanskrit.\n\nGaneri’s books include Attention\, Not Self\; The Self: Naturalism\, Consciousness\, and the First-Person Stance\; The Lost Age of Reason: Philosophy in Early Modern India 1450–1700\; The Concealed Art of the Soul\; and Philosophy in Classical India: The Proper Work of Reason. He has published in Mind\, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research\, the Australasian Journal of Philosophy\, Isis\, New Literary History\, Philosophy and Literature\, Synthese\, Analysis\, Philosophy\, in major Indology journals\, and is on the editorial boards of The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy\, Philosophy East & West\, Journal of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research\, the Journal of Hindu Studies and other journals and monograph series. Ganeri is currently editing the Oxford Handbook of Indian Philosophy\, drafting scripts about Indian Philosophy for the podcast History of Philosophy without any Gaps\, and thinking about philosophy\, cosmopolitanism\, and anti-coloniality.\n\nGaneri advocates an expanded role for cross-cultural methodologies in philosophical research\, together with enhanced cultural diversity in the philosophical curriculum. He strives to collaborate with philosophers\, phenomenologists\, cognitive scientists\, historians\, anthropologists\, sinologists\, persianists\, buddhologists\, classicists\, and logicians. Ganeria is an Affiliated Faculty member of the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World. He is a Fellow of the British Academy\, and laureate of the Infosys Prize in the Humanities. He has been named by Open Magazine one of India’s “50 Open Minds” in 2016.\n\nCosponsored by the Departments of Philosophy and Asian Languages and Cultures.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:En Español: Sounds of the Hispanosphere Lecture: Louise K. Stein\, musicology
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the continuity of musical associations and conventions throughout the early modern Hispanic world in the time of Miguel de Cervantes\, using both live and recorded musical examples. Points of contact between the real world and a densely woven imaginary world are plentiful in Cervantes’ writings. Cervantes relies on the power of music and its ability to deceive or surprise. Every strum of the guitar may bring several possible hearings. His work is embedded in an incompletely recovered musical tradition whose traces are audible\, though unwritten improvisatory practices shaped performance and conveyed meaning across social levels and geography. See January 29 for more information on the festival.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

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:Saturday Morning Physics | Topological Insulators: An Unexpected State of Matter
DESCRIPTION:One of the greatest triumphs of the 20th century was development of quantum theory solids\, which allowed us to understand why some materials are electrically insulating whereas others are conductors. To the surprise of all physicists\, we now know that there is a new class of materials\, known as topological insulators\, that likes to be both. Topological insulators are expected to have an insulating bulk and topologically protected surface states\, with many unique properties. Professor Kurdak will expose some of the beautiful features of this unexpected state of matter\, using examples from a broad range of recent experiments including from his own research on samarium hexaboride.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Constructing Gender
DESCRIPTION:Ask U-M students\, alumni\, or fans what symbolizes the University of Michigan\, and you’ll likely hear the Big House\, the Diag\, along with the Michigan Union and the Michigan League. Since they officially opened in 1919 and 1929\, respectively\, the Union and League have been destinations for generations of Wolverines yet few know the rich history of the buildings’ origins or about the architects who brought them both to life: brothers and U-M alums Irving K. and Allen Pond.\n\nThe exhibition\, organized in celebration of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial in 2017\, illuminates the architecture and bustling student life of these iconic buildings using original drawings\, renderings\, photographs\, color studies\, and even dance cards from the Bentley Historical Library\, which serves as the University of Michigan archives. These fascinating documents reveal how the buildings were conceived\, constructed\, and first occupied by students and alumni. Guest curated by Nancy Bartlett of the Bentley Historical Library\, the exhibition reveals how the Ponds meticulously conceived and constructed the two clubs—one for men\, one for women—by weaving ideas about gender and society into the very fabric of the buildings themselves.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, artist Ernestine Ruben (BSDEs ’53) photographed the once-famed industrial complex Willow Run in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Designed by her grandfather\, Detroit architect Albert Kahn\, for the Ford Motor Company\, Willow Run was an exemplar of American defense manufacturing because of its efficient mass-production of B-24 Liberators during World War II.\n\nFor this exhibition\, Ruben overlaid interior views of the now-dormant factory with imagined glimpses into her body’s interior landscape. The resulting compositions seem to breathe energy and light into the stagnant and cavernous spaces of Willow Run and suggest a longing for a productive existence undeterred by mortality for both Willow Run and the artist. Her grandfather’s role in the history of the site underscores Ruben’s personal connection.\n\nThe exhibition presents Ruben’s photographs of Willow Run in UMMA’s Photography Gallery and an original film—co-created by Ruben and video artist Seth Bernstein and featuring an original score by award-winning composer Stephen Hartke—in the Museum’s Forum.\n\nLead support for Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run: Mobilizing Memory is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.\n\n\n\nLead support for Victors for the Arts: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

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:Constructing Gender
DESCRIPTION:Ask U-M students\, alumni\, or fans what symbolizes the University of Michigan\, and you’ll likely hear the Big House\, the Diag\, along with the Michigan Union and the Michigan League. Since they officially opened in 1919 and 1929\, respectively\, the Union and League have been destinations for generations of Wolverines yet few know the rich history of the buildings’ origins or about the architects who brought them both to life: brothers and U-M alums Irving K. and Allen Pond.\n\nThe exhibition\, organized in celebration of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial in 2017\, illuminates the architecture and bustling student life of these iconic buildings using original drawings\, renderings\, photographs\, color studies\, and even dance cards from the Bentley Historical Library\, which serves as the University of Michigan archives. These fascinating documents reveal how the buildings were conceived\, constructed\, and first occupied by students and alumni. Guest curated by Nancy Bartlett of the Bentley Historical Library\, the exhibition reveals how the Ponds meticulously conceived and constructed the two clubs—one for men\, one for women—by weaving ideas about gender and society into the very fabric of the buildings themselves.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, artist Ernestine Ruben (BSDEs ’53) photographed the once-famed industrial complex Willow Run in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Designed by her grandfather\, Detroit architect Albert Kahn\, for the Ford Motor Company\, Willow Run was an exemplar of American defense manufacturing because of its efficient mass-production of B-24 Liberators during World War II.\n\nFor this exhibition\, Ruben overlaid interior views of the now-dormant factory with imagined glimpses into her body’s interior landscape. The resulting compositions seem to breathe energy and light into the stagnant and cavernous spaces of Willow Run and suggest a longing for a productive existence undeterred by mortality for both Willow Run and the artist. Her grandfather’s role in the history of the site underscores Ruben’s personal connection.\n\nThe exhibition presents Ruben’s photographs of Willow Run in UMMA’s Photography Gallery and an original film—co-created by Ruben and video artist Seth Bernstein and featuring an original score by award-winning composer Stephen Hartke—in the Museum’s Forum.\n\nLead support for Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run: Mobilizing Memory is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.\n\n\n\nLead support for Victors for the Arts: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Art & Healing: American Indian Textiles & Beads
DESCRIPTION:Suzanne L. Cross\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor Emeritus\, Michigan State University and member of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe\, is a shawl maker and beadwork artist. She created this body of work to increase awareness and emphasize cardiac health for American Indian women by informing\, supporting\, and encouraging self-care and the value of changing life ways. Shawls are symbols of womanhood and are of significance to many American Indian tribal cultures. Now-a-day traditional female dancers complete their regalia by carrying the shawl over their left arm which is closest to the heart\, and the fringe sways to the heartbeat rhythm of the drum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Diversity Postdoc Talk - Clinical Area
DESCRIPTION:Eliminating Health Disparities for Ethnic Minority Populations: Culture Is Key\n\nThere exists a large disparity in mental health care for individuals in need of treatment\, especially for ethnic minority populations like Latinos (Alegría et al.\, 2008). Government agencies\, clinicians\, and researchers have identified the need to increase access to formal mental health services for underserved populations. However\, structural and attitudinal barriers prevent many people from accessing services even when they perceive a need for treatment. The current research talk describes the development of an empirically-informed model of help seeking (the Integrated Model of Seeking Help\; IMoSH)\, to describe how various factors may influence decisions to seek professional mental health services. It is hoped that the development of a comprehensive model of help seeking will move research beyond the identification of demographic predictors of service utilization and toward an understanding of contextual factors at the individual and societal levels.\nResearch studies examining the role of culture in help seeking will be presented. Lastly\, future work will be proposed to move the mental health care field forward in its efforts to reduce health disparities for ethnic minority populations.

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:Constructing Gender
DESCRIPTION:Ask U-M students\, alumni\, or fans what symbolizes the University of Michigan\, and you’ll likely hear the Big House\, the Diag\, along with the Michigan Union and the Michigan League. Since they officially opened in 1919 and 1929\, respectively\, the Union and League have been destinations for generations of Wolverines yet few know the rich history of the buildings’ origins or about the architects who brought them both to life: brothers and U-M alums Irving K. and Allen Pond.\n\nThe exhibition\, organized in celebration of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial in 2017\, illuminates the architecture and bustling student life of these iconic buildings using original drawings\, renderings\, photographs\, color studies\, and even dance cards from the Bentley Historical Library\, which serves as the University of Michigan archives. These fascinating documents reveal how the buildings were conceived\, constructed\, and first occupied by students and alumni. Guest curated by Nancy Bartlett of the Bentley Historical Library\, the exhibition reveals how the Ponds meticulously conceived and constructed the two clubs—one for men\, one for women—by weaving ideas about gender and society into the very fabric of the buildings themselves.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, artist Ernestine Ruben (BSDEs ’53) photographed the once-famed industrial complex Willow Run in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Designed by her grandfather\, Detroit architect Albert Kahn\, for the Ford Motor Company\, Willow Run was an exemplar of American defense manufacturing because of its efficient mass-production of B-24 Liberators during World War II.\n\nFor this exhibition\, Ruben overlaid interior views of the now-dormant factory with imagined glimpses into her body’s interior landscape. The resulting compositions seem to breathe energy and light into the stagnant and cavernous spaces of Willow Run and suggest a longing for a productive existence undeterred by mortality for both Willow Run and the artist. Her grandfather’s role in the history of the site underscores Ruben’s personal connection.\n\nThe exhibition presents Ruben’s photographs of Willow Run in UMMA’s Photography Gallery and an original film—co-created by Ruben and video artist Seth Bernstein and featuring an original score by award-winning composer Stephen Hartke—in the Museum’s Forum.\n\nLead support for Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run: Mobilizing Memory is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.\n\n\n\nLead support for Victors for the Arts: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Student Probability
DESCRIPTION:Let K be an n-dimensional convex body such that the unit Euclidean ball\, $B_2^n$\, is the maximal volume ellipsoid lies inside K. (John's position) Then\,\nthere exists a polytope P with $O(n^2)$ facets satisfying  $K\subset P \subset nK$. In the case when $K$ is symmetric\, then\, we can reduce the coefficient n to $\sqrt{n}$.\n\nRecently\, Barvinok generalize this method to get a sharp result: For any symmetric convex body K\, there exists a polytope with $m$ facets such that \n$K\subset P \subset C\sqrt{\frac{n}{\log(m/n)}}K$. \n\nIn this talk\, we will present the following result in the non-symmetric cases: \nLet $n>R_n\ge 1$ be a sequence such that $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \frac{R_n}{n}=0$. For a sufficiently large \n$n$\, we can construct a convex body $K\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with $B_2^n$ is the maximal volume ellipsoid lies inside $K$ such that there \nis no $P$\, polytope with a polynomial number of facets in $n$ such that $K\subset P\subset R_nK$.\n\nThis result is related to approximating convex bodies by polytopes with few facets the sense of Banach-Mazur distance. In particular\, it indicates that the center of John ellipsoid is not a good choice of center (of scaling) comparing to the center of mass.  Speaker(s): Han Huang (UM)

DESCRIPTION:In 1869 the University of Michigan opened the first hospital in the United States to be owned and operated by a university.  Professor Joel Howell (History\, Internal Medicine\, and Health Management and Policy\; University of Michigan) will discuss the debates over whether the University of Michigan should run a hospital\, who should run it\, what should be in it\, why the university decided to keep the hospital in Ann Arbor\, and what difference these decisions have made to medical research\, education\, and patient care in Ann Arbor and elsewhere.\n\nPhoto: Photograph of the university's first hospital\, 1877.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Conversations on Europe. \"We Are All Republicans\": Party Competition and the Production of Nationhood in France’s Face Veil Debate
DESCRIPTION:In 2010—following a year-long nationwide debate over the wearing of the Islamic niqab and burqa—the French government adopted a law that prohibits facial coverings in all public spaces. Most studies attribute this and other restrictive laws to France’s republican secular tradition. The speaker will explore a different explanation in this talk. Drawing from a variety of sources\, including interviews with politicians\, activists and other public figures\, she proposes that the 2010 ban arose in significant part out of French political parties’ struggle to demarcate the boundaries of legitimate politics in the face of an ultra-right electoral threat. In particular\, she suggests that in seeking to prevent the ultra-right National Front party from monopolizing the religious signs issue\, France’s major right and left parties agreed to portray republicanism as requiring the exclusion of face veiling from public space. Because it was forged in conflict\, however\, the agreement thus generated is highly fractured and unstable. It conceals ongoing conflict\, both between and within political parties\, over the precise meaning(s) of French republican nationhood. \n\nEmily Laxer is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Sociology at the University of Michigan\, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Her research bridges the sociological study of politics\, nationalism\, immigration and gender to examine how contests for political power shape the way national governments respond to debates around immigrants’ religious signs. She approaches this topic by interrogating the role of state and civil society actors in the contested process of producing nationhood in diverse societies\, mainly France and Canada (including Québec). Laxer received her Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Toronto in December 2015. Her research has been published in \"Nations and Nationalism\,\" the \"Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies\,\" \"Recherches Sociographiques\,\" as well as in edited volumes.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry & Physics
DESCRIPTION:In my talk I will conjecture existence of certain new homological\ninvariants of 3-manifolds. The invariants provide categorification of\nthe analytically continued WRT invariant and have some similarities\nwith Heegaard/monopole Floer homology. Physically such invariants can\nbe defined as Hilbert spaces of M-theory in certain backgrounds. I\nwill describe mathematical properties of such invariants\, their\nrelation to open topological strings and how to calculate them for\nsome specific types of 3-manifolds. The talk is mainly based on a\njoint work with S. Gukov\, D. Pei and C. Vafa.\n Speaker(s): Pavel Putrov (IAS)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | The Search for Time-Reversal Violation Using Pear-Shaped Nuclei
DESCRIPTION:Experimental tests of fundamental symmetries using nuclei and other particles subject to the strong nuclear force have led to the discovery of parity (P) violation and the discovery of charge-parity (CP) violation. It is believed that additional sources of CP-violation may be needed to explain the apparent scarcity of antimatter in the universe. A particularly sensitive and unambiguous signature of both time-reversal- (T) and CP-violation would be the existence of an electric dipole moment (EDM). The next generation of EDM searches in a variety of complimentary systems will have unprecedented sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model. My talk will focus on certain rare diamagnetic atoms which have octupole-deformed (pear-shaped) nuclei. This uncommon nuclear structure significantly amplifies the observable effect of T\, P\, & CP-violation originating within the nuclear medium when compared to isotopes with nearly spherical nuclei such as Mercury-199. Certain isotopes of Radium\, Protactinium\, and Radon are all expected to have enhanced atomic EDMs and will be produced in abundance at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at Michigan State University. I will describe the status of the Radium-225 EDM search located at Argonne National Lab and the prospects of EDM searches using Radon and Protactinium.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Integrable Systems and Random Matrix Theory
DESCRIPTION:The totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) is a simple but fundamental model of particle systems. It can be thought of as a simple traffic model. It was shown in 2000 that one point fluctuations of TASEP in 1+1 dimensions for certain initial conditions are given by the same distribution function occurring in random matrix theory. This result was obtained from a remarkable Fredholm determinant formula of the marginal distribution. We will discuss a proof of this Fredholm determinant formula using the so-called coordinate Bethe ansatz method developed by Schutz\, Rakos\, Tracy\, and Widom.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

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:Constructing Gender
DESCRIPTION:Ask U-M students\, alumni\, or fans what symbolizes the University of Michigan\, and you’ll likely hear the Big House\, the Diag\, along with the Michigan Union and the Michigan League. Since they officially opened in 1919 and 1929\, respectively\, the Union and League have been destinations for generations of Wolverines yet few know the rich history of the buildings’ origins or about the architects who brought them both to life: brothers and U-M alums Irving K. and Allen Pond.\n\nThe exhibition\, organized in celebration of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial in 2017\, illuminates the architecture and bustling student life of these iconic buildings using original drawings\, renderings\, photographs\, color studies\, and even dance cards from the Bentley Historical Library\, which serves as the University of Michigan archives. These fascinating documents reveal how the buildings were conceived\, constructed\, and first occupied by students and alumni. Guest curated by Nancy Bartlett of the Bentley Historical Library\, the exhibition reveals how the Ponds meticulously conceived and constructed the two clubs—one for men\, one for women—by weaving ideas about gender and society into the very fabric of the buildings themselves.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, artist Ernestine Ruben (BSDEs ’53) photographed the once-famed industrial complex Willow Run in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Designed by her grandfather\, Detroit architect Albert Kahn\, for the Ford Motor Company\, Willow Run was an exemplar of American defense manufacturing because of its efficient mass-production of B-24 Liberators during World War II.\n\nFor this exhibition\, Ruben overlaid interior views of the now-dormant factory with imagined glimpses into her body’s interior landscape. The resulting compositions seem to breathe energy and light into the stagnant and cavernous spaces of Willow Run and suggest a longing for a productive existence undeterred by mortality for both Willow Run and the artist. Her grandfather’s role in the history of the site underscores Ruben’s personal connection.\n\nThe exhibition presents Ruben’s photographs of Willow Run in UMMA’s Photography Gallery and an original film—co-created by Ruben and video artist Seth Bernstein and featuring an original score by award-winning composer Stephen Hartke—in the Museum’s Forum.\n\nLead support for Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run: Mobilizing Memory is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L.

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:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | The Authentic Deeds of the Buddha: Visual Narratives and Canonical Scripture in Mogao Cave 61
DESCRIPTION:During the late Tang and Five Dynasties period\, a renewed interest in the life of the historical Buddha unfolded at Dunhuang that in turn informed a wide range of textual\, ritual\, and visual materials. This talk investigates a set of mural paintings depicting Śākyamuni’s life from Mogao cave 61 as a window onto these transformations of cultic and artistic practices. Based on the Sūtra of the Collection of Authentic Deeds of the Buddha (Fo benxing ji jing佛本行集經\, T. 190)\, Mogao 61 contains thirty-three individuated screens (pingfeng 屏風) forming the most extensive singular collection of visual representations of Śākyamuni’s biography in medieval China. Analyzed in conjunction with the canonical scripture\, liturgical texts\, and with other contemporaneous depictions of Buddha’s life from Mogao\, these screens provide nuanced insight into the conceptualization of Śākyamuni and his foundational role in cultic life at Dunhuang. \n    \nNeil Schmid’s research centers on the medieval Chinese archaeological site of Dunhuang and the interplay of text\, image\, and ritual in Buddhism. He is currently Guest Professor at the University of Vienna.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Visual Representation of Gender and Class in a Changing China\"
DESCRIPTION:Analyzing visual representation of Chinese women in the popular media over a span of 60 years\, this talk explores the concealed and erased history of socialist state feminist endeavors in socialist revolution and demonstrates drastic changes in gender norms and practices in the state’s embracing of global capitalism. Given the widespread notions about “CCP propaganda” or “Maoist gender discourse” that always assume an authorship of a faceless patriarchal Party state authority\, this talk will bring feminist producers of gendered “propaganda” back to the historical process to highlight socialist feminist transformation of a patriarchal culture. Changes in visual representation signify changed power relations of gender and class\, changed constitution of gender and class subjectivities\, as well as changed nature of the state. The talk is based on Prof. Wang’s new book Finding Women in the State: A Socialist Feminist Revolution in the People’s Republic of China\, 1949-1964 (UC Press\, 2016)\, which presents the first investigation of high politics in the CCP from a gender perspective.\n\nWang Zheng is Professor of Women's Studies and History and Research Scientist at the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at University of Michigan. She is the author of Finding Women in the State: A Socialist Feminist Revolution in the People’s Republic of China\, 1949-1964\; Women in the Chinese Enlightenment: Oral and Textual Histories and the coeditor of From the Soil: The Foundations of Chinese Society\; Translating Feminisms in China\; and Some of Us: Chinese Women Growing Up in the Mao Era.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Lecture: Just Words? Evaluating the Impact of Constitutional Rights
DESCRIPTION:Policy-makers\, political theorists\, and lawyers have long viewed constitutional rights as important safeguards against abuses of government authority. Given the importance of constitutional rights in curbing power\, it is probably no surprise that substantial time and resources are devoted to drafting bills of rights. Indeed\, the past several decades have seen a sweeping expansion of constitutional rights protections\; between World War II and today\, the average number of rights in national constitutions more than doubled.\n    \nTheir importance notwithstanding\, we know remarkably little about whether constitutional rights actually make a difference. As numerous countries­––ranging from South Sudan to Myanmar to Iceland––are debating new bills of rights\, neither policy-makers nor academics know much about which rights actually make a difference and under what conditions they are most effective. For example\, when a constitution enshrines a prohibition on torture\, do governments actually torture less? Or when a constitution promises a right to health care\, does that increase government spending on health care? Perhaps more importantly\, under what circumstances do constitutional rights make a difference\, and when do they fail? Are some rights more effective than others? \n    \nThe question whether constitutional rights matter is the topic of my book manuscript in progress. It presents findings from quantitative analysis of the impact of 10 different constitutional rights provisions in 188 countries over a 30 year period. One of the main findings is that rights that are practiced within organizations\, such as the right to unionize or the right to form political parties\, are particularly effective in constraining power. The distinctive feature of such “organizational rights” is that they do not merely represent a substantive policy preference for a particular right\, but also aid the establishment of organizations that have the incentives to safeguard the right as well as the means to act strategically to protect it from government repression. For example\, the right to unionize is practiced within trade unions. If the government were to encroach on this right\, unions could mobilize their constituents to take the streets\, lobby the political opposition\, or bring their case to court. Other examples include the right to form political parties\, with is organized by political parties\, and the freedom of religion\, which tends to be practiced within churches\, mosques\, synagogues\, and other religious organizations. By contrast\, individual rights\, such as the freedom of speech or the prohibition of torture\, do not appear to constrain government behavior. To further unpack these findings\, the book manuscript will also present case studies and results from survey experiments. \n    \nMila Versteeg joined the Law School in 2011. Her research and teaching interests include comparative constitutional law\, public international law and empirical legal studies. Most of her research deals with the origins\, evolution and effectiveness of provisions in the world’s constitutions. Her publications have\, amongst others\, appeared in the California Law Review\, the New York University Law Review\, the University of Chicago Law Review\, the American Political Science Review\, the American Journal of Political Science\, the Journal of Legal Studies\, the American Journal of International Law\, and the Journal of Law\, Economics and Organizations. A number of her works have been translated into Chinese\, Portuguese and Turkish. \n    \nVersteeg earned her B.A. in public administration and first law degree from Tilburg University in the Netherlands in 2006. She earned her LL.M. from Harvard Law School in 2007 and a D.Phil. in socio-legal studies in 2011 from Oxford University\, where she was a Gregory Kulkes Scholar at Balliol College and recipient of an Arts and the Humanities Research Council Award. \n    \nPrior to joining the Law School\, Versteeg was an Olin Fellow and lecturer in law at the University of Chicago Law School. Versteeg previously worked at the U.N. Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute in Turin and at the Southern Africa Litigation Centre in Johannesburg. While at UVA\, Versteeg has been a visiting associate professor at the University of Chicago Law School (fall 2013) and Columbia Law School (spring 2016)\, and a visiting professor at the law schools of Hebrew University\, the University of Hamburg (summer 2015) and Tel Aviv University (spring 2017\, upcoming).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Geometry/Topology
DESCRIPTION:Euler characteristics are mappings defined on classes of groups and share many common properties with the usual Euler characteristic of finite CW complexes. We are going to see several examples of such mappings defined on various classes of groups as well as ways to calculate the Euler characteristic of groups which split over finite subgroups. In many cases\, the Euler characteristic of a group is non-zero and therefore we obtain information about the isomorphism classes of subgroups. In this direction\, we see also applications for self maps of manifolds. Speaker(s): Konstantinos Tsouvalas (UM)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Contaminant-State Broadening Mechanisms in a Driven Dissipative Rydberg System
DESCRIPTION:The strong interactions in Rydberg atoms make them an ideal system for the study of correlated many-body physics\, both in the presence and absence of dissipation. Using such highly excited atomic states requires addressing challenges posed by the dense spectrum of Rydberg levels\, the detrimental effects of spontaneous emission\, and strong interactions. A full understanding of the scope and limitations of many Rydberg-based proposals requires including these effects\, which typically cannot be described by a mean-field treatment due to correlations in the quantum coherent and dissipative processes. We study a driven\, dissipative system of Rydberg atoms in a 3D optical lattice\, and observe substantial deviation from single-particle excitation rates. We attribute these effects to unavoidable blackbody-induced transitions to nearby Rydberg states of opposite parity\, which have large\, resonant dipole-dipole interactions with the state of interest. Even at low densities of Rydberg atoms\, uncontrolled production of atoms in other states significantly modifies the transition energies of the remaining atoms. These off-diagonal exchange interactions result in complex many-body states of the system and have implications for off-resonant Rydberg dressing proposals.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar. Reading the Ruins: Two Poems on the Arch of Ctesiphon
DESCRIPTION:On the banks of the Tigris river\, the Sasanian Empire left an iconic monument called the Arch of Khosrow (Taq-i-Kasra or Iwan Kisra)\, whose vault towered like the heavens at 121 feet. Two poets\, al-Buhturi (d. 897) and Khaqani (d. 1190)\, gravitated toward this site and composed two timeless odes\, one in Arabic and the other in Persian\, on the Arch as a memorial to a bygone civilization — or the very idea of civilization itself. In these poems\, we find that Time (and Fate) play an ominous role\, crushing the genius and labor of human beings on both an individual and collective scale. How\, then\, do the two poets respond to this? How do the ravages of Time generate new ethical and political imperatives for humanity? In this workshop\, we place the poems in conversation with each other in order to address these and other questions of art\, life\, and meaning. Professors Samer Ali and Cameron Cross will present and discuss their own translations of these poems.\n\nPlease RSVP to Saquib Usman at susman@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Other:Mechanistic and Electronic Structural Insights into the Metallobiochemistry of Nitrification
DESCRIPTION:Nitrification\, the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite and nitrate\, is a key entry point for fixed nitrogen to return to the atmosphere as dinitrogen. Nitrification is the root of tremendous economic loss in agriculture as well as a major ecological hazard via nitrogenous eutrophication. Molecular details concerning the elementary\, multi-electron chemical steps whereby ammonia is oxidized to hydroxylamine and ultimately to nitrite remain elusive. This may be attributable in part to the difficulty associated with accessing sufficient quantities of relevant enzymes for biophysical characterization. Nevertheless\, such insights are attractive because they hold the promise of inspiring novel\, green chemical methods for difficult bond activations and multi-electron transformations. This talk will describe our investigation of the crucial molecular steps of nitrification revealed through the application of rapid kinetics\, spectroscopy\, and electronic structure calculations. Key insights include the establishment of a direct link between nitrification and nitrous oxide pollution\, the identification of important intermediates in hydroxylamine oxidation by both Fe\, and a revision of the enzymatic steps involved in hydroxylamine oxidation. The seminar will conclude with reinterpretation of the electronic structure of high-valent copper–oxygen species toward rationalizing competence of these species for challenging E–H bond activations.\nKyle Lancaster (Cornell University)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Colloquium Series
DESCRIPTION:The diffraction of waves is a phenomenon whose study dates back to at least the 17th century\, but remains a challenge for \nrigorous analysis.  I will discuss some recent work on the phenomenon of diffraction by conic singularities\, and its application to the analysis of the spectrum of the Laplace operator and the distribution of resonances in scattering theory.  We expect that an acoustic wave striking the exterior of a polygon should cause prolonged ringing (`resonance') which would not be present for a smooth obstacle\, and I will present some results to substantiate this claim.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:Logarithmic geometry in the sense of Fontaine-Kato-Illusie seeks to extend the beautiful combinatorial techniques available for toric varieties to all schemes by providing local monoidal coordinates on their structure sheaves. Using logarithmic geometry we may\, in particular\, categorify the well-known notion of toroidal embeddings\, which has proved incredibly useful to the study of degenerations of algebraic varieties (e.g. when proving semistable reduction etc.).\n\nThe purpose of this talk is to give an introduction to logarithmic geometry\, only assuming basic toric geometry on the level of the first chapter of Fulton's book. Armed with these techniques\, we can then explore one of the most immediate applications of these techniques\, the construction of the moduli space of logarithmically smooth curves as well as its connection to the classical Deligne-Knudsen-Mumford moduli space of stable curves with marked points.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Causal Inference in Education Research Seminar (CIERS): The Echo of a Promise: The Impact of State-Designated Michigan Promises Zones
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nInspired by the Kalamazoo Promise\, the state of Michigan selected 10 promise zone communities in 2009. These promise zones offer free tuition and fees to at least an associate degree for all eligible high school graduates within the promise zone. Unlike the Kalamazoo Promise\, however\, the scholarship designs of these promise programs are last-dollar and are mainly concentrated at the community college level so they may not appeal to all students within the school district. Given the requirements to become operational\, the promise zones started in a rolling pattern with Baldwin as the first promise zone in 2010 and Muskegon ISD as the last promise zone in 2015. For this paper\, I focus on the first eight promise zones which became operational from 2010-2013. I use an instrumental variable difference-in-difference design to estimate the effect of eligibility for 100 percent of the scholarship (“free” college) and any percent of the scholarship on high school graduation and college enrollment for the expected high school graduating classes of 2007 - 2014.

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:Constructing Gender
DESCRIPTION:Ask U-M students\, alumni\, or fans what symbolizes the University of Michigan\, and you’ll likely hear the Big House\, the Diag\, along with the Michigan Union and the Michigan League. Since they officially opened in 1919 and 1929\, respectively\, the Union and League have been destinations for generations of Wolverines yet few know the rich history of the buildings’ origins or about the architects who brought them both to life: brothers and U-M alums Irving K. and Allen Pond.\n\nThe exhibition\, organized in celebration of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial in 2017\, illuminates the architecture and bustling student life of these iconic buildings using original drawings\, renderings\, photographs\, color studies\, and even dance cards from the Bentley Historical Library\, which serves as the University of Michigan archives. These fascinating documents reveal how the buildings were conceived\, constructed\, and first occupied by students and alumni. Guest curated by Nancy Bartlett of the Bentley Historical Library\, the exhibition reveals how the Ponds meticulously conceived and constructed the two clubs—one for men\, one for women—by weaving ideas about gender and society into the very fabric of the buildings themselves.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

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:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Signatures of Homdeski's Gravity on Ultra-Large Cosmic Scales
DESCRIPTION:Upcoming galaxy surveys are aiming to map the largest scales of our observable universe in the next decades. With these data we can test gravity on scales near the horizon by studying the signatures of modified gravity models on large scale structure observables. \nI will present the imprints on the galaxy number counts (GNC's) and on the cross-correlation of the GNC's with CMB temperature anisotropies from certain classes of scalar-tensor theories of gravity embedded in the Horndeski Lagrangian. Furthermore fundamental properties of gravity\, e.g. the propagation speed of tensor perturbations\, can be tested using an effective field theory approach.\nDue to the remarkable modifications of relativistic effects which contribute to the considered signals\, like the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect\, these observables allow us to constrain or even rule out some alternative models.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Medieval Lunch. What if Humans Don't have to Scapegoat Anyone? Peace Offering and Redemption in al-Mutanabbi's Poetry
DESCRIPTION:In The 1001 Nights\, the story of the “Merchant and the Demon” proffers a scapegoat escaping his fate in exchange for marvelous stories\, and in it the mercantile model of payment in full for moral debts is invoked. While The Nights offers a vivid late medieval illustration\, we can find earlier examples of this approach to scapegoating in the poetry of al-Mutanabbi (d. 965). This paper examines a suite of four poems composed and performed by al-Mutanabbi to ransom four scapegoats. The poems stage the capacity of poetry to serve as a peace offering and payment in full for moral debts in exchange for liberty.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Where Do the Rich Rule? Specifying Unequal Public Influence on American Policy Adoption
DESCRIPTION:In adopting new policy\, do policymakers respond only to the opinions of the richest American citizens\, ignoring the rest? High-profile political science research suggests that the likelihood of U.S. national policy adoption is strongly related to the share of the richest citizens who support the policy\, but—after taking the richest citizens’ opinions into account—is unrelated to the opinions of the middle class. We revisit these findings arguing that the disproportionate influence of affluent citizens is not uniform across policy proposals but is concentrated in foreign policy and in the largest proposed shifts from the status quo. Instead of archetypal inequality-increasing proposals like high-income tax cuts and deregulation\, the disproportionate influence of the affluent comes primarily in extra support for consensus foreign proposals like international agreements. Instead of slowly influencing small policy changes behind the scenes\, affluent preferences primarily block high-profile large policy changes. The rich do have stronger influence than the middle class on policy adoption\, but they succeed mostly in supporting global engagement and avoiding large-scale shift in policy. Our data enlarge Martin Gilens’ dataset from his book Affluence and Influence\, reviewing more than 1\,800 policy proposals before the national government since 1981\, but adding original information on the policy subtopics and ideological direction of each proposal.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:We consider a model where a Principal requires to design separate contracts with a large number of Agents in interaction. We focus on the optimal design of these contracts\, and study in particular the mean field limit of this problem. Considering an infinite number of agents in Nash equilibrium\, the interaction between the agents is represented by a so-called mean field game. We will see that the corresponding Principal-Mean Field Agents problem rewrites in fact as a stochastic control problem on a McKean-Vlasov SDE. Particular cases of applications will be discussd and soved explicitly. This is a joint work with Dylan Possamai (Univ. Paris-Dauphine) and Thibaut Mastrolia (Ecole Polytechnique).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG Seminar on Geometry\, Dynamics and Topology
DESCRIPTION: In 1987\, Gromov gave several ways to convert any cell complex K into a nonpositvely curved cell complex H(K). He claimed that the metric on these new cell complexes could be made strictly negatively curved\; however\, this was later disproved. In 1995 Charney and Davis gave a modified hyperbolization technique which did produce negatively curved cell complexes. I will talk about both the Gromov and Charney-Davis versions of this result\, and then discuss some applications. Speaker(s): Kevin Schreve (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | CMB Lensing: Fundamental Physics from Maps of the Invisible
DESCRIPTION:Dark matter not only forms an invisible cosmic scaffolding within which galaxies form\, its distribution in the universe also contains a wealth of information about fundamental physics. Measurements of gravitational lensing in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) allow this matter distribution to be directly seen and mapped. In my talk\, I will discuss current and future work in this new\, rapidly advancing field. In particular\, I will show new measurements of CMB lensing with the ACTPol experiment and discuss how upcoming ultra-high-precision studies of the lensing signal will probe the properties of neutrinos and dark energy. Lensing is not only a signal\, however\, but also a source of noise that limits how much we can learn about the very early universe. With illustrations from recent work\, I will explain why delensing - removing the lensing effect to reveal the primordial sky - is crucial for the future of CMB cosmology.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:The scaling properties of  historical volatility time series\, which now appear to be universal\, motivate the modeling of volatility as the exponential of fractional Brownian motion. This model can be understood as reflecting the high endogeneity of liquid markets and the long memory of order flow.  The Rough Bergomi model which is the simplest corresponding model under Q fits the implied volatility surface remarkably well.  As an application\, we show how to forecast the variance swap curve.  We also comment in detail on model calibration\, which turns out not to be straightforward. Speaker(s): Jim Gatheral (Baruch College)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Improvisation as Cross-cultural Collaborative Gateway: Report from Korea
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Professor Sarath will reflect upon his experience in Fall 2016 in Seoul and at the International Sori Festival in Jeonju\, South Korea\, in which he participated as performer\, speaker\, and Founder and President of the International Society for Improvised Music (ISIM). ISIM was invited to convene cross-cultural improvisation workshops and performances\, under the direction of komungo virtuoso Jin Hi Kim\, that brought together musicians from diverse backgrounds. The Joenju event was the most recent ISIM cross-cultural improvisation workshops and performances in a series that began\, with Nam Center support\, at U-M in 2011. The combination of performances and scholarly presentations raised many questions and also yielded important insights about the challenges and opportunities of improvising across wide-ranging cultural boundaries. Contrasting conceptions of time\, form\, sound\, rhythm\, texture\, interaction\, the relationship of innovation and tradition\, and the spiritual function of music are among the issues raised. He will discuss a number of these issues and also emphasize the importance of this work in creating unity in a world riddled by division and conflict. \n    \nEd Sarath is Professor of Music\, Interim Director of the Center for World Performance Studies\, and Director of the Program in Creativity and Consciousness Studies at the University of Michigan. He is founder and president of the International Society for Improvised Music and active worldwide as performer\, composer\, recording artist\, author/scholar\, and change visionary. In addition to his book Improvisation\, Creativity\, and Consciousness (SUNY 2013)\, the first to apply principles of an emergent worldview called Integral Theory to music\, he has published six other books as author\, co-author\, and co-editor and numerous articles in journals spanning a wide spectrum of disciplines. He has performed and recorded with top names in jazz and contemporary music across the globe\, and his recording New Beginnings features the London Jazz Orchestra performing his large ensemble compositions. He is a fellow of the American Council of Learned Societies\, MacDowell Arts Colony\, and National Endowment for the Arts (in both performance and composition).\n\nEvent cosponsored by the U-M Center for World Performance Studies

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:There has been considerable recent work to extend the algebra and geometry of Schubert polynomials from the type A case originated by Lascoux and Schutzenberger to types B\, C\, and D.  Single polynomials were given by Billey and Haiman\, and double polynomials by Ikeda\, Mihalcea\, and Naruse. Although these give many degeneracy formulas\, they do not suffice even for the classical case of ranks of symmetric or skew-symmetric matrices of homogeneous polynomials on projective spaces. \n\nFor these one needs to include symplectic and quadratic forms with values in a line bundle. In joint work with Dave Anderson\, we have constructed \"twisted double Schubert polynomials\" which have a new parameter corresponding to the line bundle.  They are in twisted versions of the classical rings\, which correspond to new and stable presentations of cohomology/Chow rings of isotropic Grassmann bundles in these types.  We show that that whole package of Type A phenomena\, including positivity assertions\, extend to these polynomials. Speaker(s): William Fulton (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analysis/Probability
DESCRIPTION:The Thouless-Anderson-Palmer (TAP) equations are the mean field equations for mixed p-spin glasses on the hypercube. They relate the spin on a site to the field induced on the site by its neighbors. In this talk\, we will discuss recent progress regarding the understanding of these equations for a class of mixed p-spin glass models. We will explain a decomposition of the Gibbs measure into conditional laws\, each of which satisfies these equations asymptotically. This decomposition satisfies the properties predicted in the physics literature and is essentially unique. If there is time remaining\, we will discuss how a family of stochastic processes that arises in the study of this problem relates to the Parisi variational problem and how it can be used to provide PDE based methods for the evaluation of spin statistics. Joint work with Antonio Auffinger (Northwestern University). Speaker(s): Aukosh Jagannath (University of Toronto)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Hebrew and Beyond: Language as a Window into the History of Israel\"
DESCRIPTION:West Bloomfield Lecture Series: Israel in the World\n\nLiora Halperin will discuss the ongoing connection between language and politics in pre-1948  British Palestine and in the State of Israel. From the Hebrew University’s choice to break from longstanding policy and formally allow dissertations to be submitted in English\, to the politics of Arabic as a minority language and the growth of the Russian speaking population in Israel\, concerns about language diversity in Israel persist today. Talking about those concerns in light of historical trends and insights is a way of talking about political divisions and cultural concerns in present-day Israel.\n\nLiora R. Halperin is an Assistant Professor of History and Jewish Studies\, and the holder of an endowed professorship in Israel/Palestine Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. In 2016-2017 she is a fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. Her first book\, Babel in Zion: Jews\, Nationalism\, and Language Diversity in Palestine 1920-1948 was published by Yale University Press in 2015 and won the Shapiro prize for best book in Israel Studies from the Association for Israel Studies. She teaches courses in Jewish history\, the history of Israel/Palestine\, and the history of modern Jewish/Muslim relations. While at the Frankel Institute she is working on a book about early Jewish agricultural colonies in late 19th-century Palestine and the contested image of these communities and their iconic personalities in 20th century Palestine and Israel.\n\nImage courtesy of Tel Aviv Municipal Archive\n\nSponsored by: Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies and JCC's Seminars for Adult Jewish Enrichment

SUMMARY:Performance:Timothy Monger
DESCRIPTION:Timothy Monger is best known for his work with Michigan folk- rock group Great Lakes Myth Society\, which he co-founded with his brother James. But his solo career both predates and follows his time with that band. Just prior to forming GLMS\, Tim released his debut solo album\, \"Summer Cherry Ghosts\,\" in 2004. The lush baroque-pop song cycle earned favorable comparisons to Elliot Smith\, Electric Light Orchestra and early Bee Gees and was released in Japan the following year. Says the All Music Guide's four-star review of Tim's album \"New Britton Sound\" (recorded in Britton\, Michigan): \"Monger finds something epic within his miniature tales of friends and foes\, guitar cases\, mining accidents\, and happy drunks\, layering in unexpected instrumentation\, gently opening the songs up with sparkling guitars and keyboards\, occasionally letting the tunes soar toward their conclusion on the wings of a trumpet.\" Tim comes to Ann Arbor with his brand new third album\, \"Amber Lantern.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Dr. Snowflake Retrospective: Recreation\, Holidays & Beyond
DESCRIPTION:As a part of the University of Michigan bicentennial celebration\, this year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. Clark’s exquisite\, hand-cut paper creations has a historical perspective. Clark\, a former U-M physician\, began making pictorial paper snowflakes in 1984\, and his first exhibit of these intricate works was at the University of Michigan Rackham Building in 1987\, entitled A Hundred Holiday Snowflakes. Works from that show as well as from his first exhibit at the University Hospital in 1988 (including dinosaurs\, clowns and patriotic themes) are on display in this retrospective exhibit. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday\, January 5 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Steel Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:In the year 2000\, Tim Shoemaker found a niche and started doing business as Eclipse Mobile Welding. On some days you can find him on the road welding and repairing construction equipment\, on other days he will be in his shop creating steel sculpture. Shoemaker’s inspiration is spontaneous and seemingly random\, and his interests range from wildlife to guitars. He uses hand tools to cut\, hammer\, bend\, grind and weld his sculptures to life\, giving them movement and character.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

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:THE FUTURE OF MASS TRANSIT IN SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN:  WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
DESCRIPTION:Michael G. Ford is CEO of the Regional Transit Authority of Southeast Michigan (RTA).  RTA was created in 2012 to coordinate and plan the development of mass transit in the four-county region. He previously served as CEO of the Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority. He began his career with the Greyhound Bus 
Company and also was Director of Transportation Operations for TriMet\, the Portland\, 
Oregon area mass transit service. \n\nSoutheast Michigan is the only major metropolitan area in the country without a true regional transit system. This talk will describe a twenty-year plan developed by the Regional Transit Authority for a multi-modal transportation system covering Wayne\, Macomb\, Oakland\, and Washtenaw counties. The system includes rapid transit bus (similar to light-rail\, but on regular wheels)\, commuter rail\, and airport express service. The talk will also cover future steps to seek voter millage approval (the plan was narrowly defeated in the 
November 2016 election) and other funding mechanisms.\n\nThis is the last of a six-lecture series. The subject is The Future of Transportation: Don’t Turn in Your Car Keys Yet! The next lecture series starts February 16\, 2017. The title is The Library – Civilization’s Treasure House of Knowledge.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Constructing Gender
DESCRIPTION:Ask U-M students\, alumni\, or fans what symbolizes the University of Michigan\, and you’ll likely hear the Big House\, the Diag\, along with the Michigan Union and the Michigan League. Since they officially opened in 1919 and 1929\, respectively\, the Union and League have been destinations for generations of Wolverines yet few know the rich history of the buildings’ origins or about the architects who brought them both to life: brothers and U-M alums Irving K. and Allen Pond.\n\nThe exhibition\, organized in celebration of the University of Michigan’s bicentennial in 2017\, illuminates the architecture and bustling student life of these iconic buildings using original drawings\, renderings\, photographs\, color studies\, and even dance cards from the Bentley Historical Library\, which serves as the University of Michigan archives. These fascinating documents reveal how the buildings were conceived\, constructed\, and first occupied by students and alumni. Guest curated by Nancy Bartlett of the Bentley Historical Library\, the exhibition reveals how the Ponds meticulously conceived and constructed the two clubs—one for men\, one for women—by weaving ideas about gender and society into the very fabric of the buildings themselves.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, artist Ernestine Ruben (BSDEs ’53) photographed the once-famed industrial complex Willow Run in Washtenaw County\, Michigan. Designed by her grandfather\, Detroit architect Albert Kahn\, for the Ford Motor Company\, Willow Run was an exemplar of American defense manufacturing because of its efficient mass-production of B-24 Liberators during World War II.\n\nFor this exhibition\, Ruben overlaid interior views of the now-dormant factory with imagined glimpses into her body’s interior landscape. The resulting compositions seem to breathe energy and light into the stagnant and cavernous spaces of Willow Run and suggest a longing for a productive existence undeterred by mortality for both Willow Run and the artist. Her grandfather’s role in the history of the site underscores Ruben’s personal connection.\n\nThe exhibition presents Ruben’s photographs of Willow Run in UMMA’s Photography Gallery and an original film—co-created by Ruben and video artist Seth Bernstein and featuring an original score by award-winning composer Stephen Hartke—in the Museum’s Forum.\n\nLead support for Ernestine Ruben at Willow Run: Mobilizing Memory is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.\n\n\n\nLead support for Victors for the Arts: Michigan's Alumni Collectors is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the University of Michigan Health System\, the University of Michigan Office of the President\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

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:Workshop / Seminar:\"The Push and Pull of Coevolution\"
DESCRIPTION:Coevolution is often invoked to explain open problems in evolution\, including the origin of sexual reproduction\, speciation\, and the evolution of complex adaptations. But what makes it so special? One hallmark of coevolution is the dynamic “push-and-pull” of reciprocal adaptation\, for example\, when parasites push hosts to evolve resistance and resistant hosts pull their parasites to cope. I will present work with a digital host-parasite system that highlights the necessity of this reciprocal process for the evolution of complex traits. I will also discuss how we’ve begun testing if reciprocity is responsible for host diversification using custom continuous microbial culture devices. Together\, these experiments are directly testing the consequences of feedback on the dynamics of adaptation.

SUMMARY:Presentation:P&SC Brown Bag
DESCRIPTION:Title: With Liberty and Sexism for All: Perceived Identity Conflict and the 2016 Presidential Election\n\nWomen are highly underrepresented at elite leadership positions\, including politics (Pew\, 2015). Drawing on research on role incongruity\, stereotypes and identity management\, we develop a new measure\, Perceived Identity Conflict (PIC) to assesses the perceived level of conflict Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump psychologically experience in managing their gender and leadership identities. Using this measure\, we found that increased PIC is related to negative leadership perceptions for Hillary Clinton (Study 1). However\, this relationship was significantly stronger for perceptions of Hillary Clinton than perceptions of Donald Trump. This was true controlling for perceivers’ political orientation\, gender\, and other demographic variables (Study 2 &amp\; 3). Our studies suggest that Clinton was more disadvantaged by PIC than was Trump. Higher levels of PIC may make salient stereotypes of women as unfit for leadership.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | The Power of Observation: How and Why I Make \"Observational\" Documentaries
DESCRIPTION:Kazuhiro Soda has made seven feature length documentaries in the same method and style. He calls them \"observational films\" not only because they are inspired by the tradition of observational cinema\, but also because he believes in the power of observation. When he says \"observation\" in this context\, he means two things. Firstly\, as a filmmaker he closely looks at the reality in front of him and makes films according to his observations and discoveries\, not based on the assumptions and preconceptions he had before he shot the film. Secondly\, he encourages the viewers to observe the film actively with their own eyes and minds. In order to realize these two aspects\, he came up with \"Ten Commandments\" for him to follow. They are: \n    \n   1 No research. \n   2 No meetings with subjects. \n   3 No scripts. \n   4 Roll the camera yourself. \n   5 Shoot as long as possible. \n   6 Cover small areas deeply. \n   7 Do not set up a theme or goal before editing. \n   8 No narration\, title\, or music. \n   9 Use long takes. \n   10 Pay for the production yourself. \n    \nIn this lecture\, Soda will explain how and why he takes this particular approach to documentary filmmaking. \n    \nKazuhiro Soda is a Peabody Award-winning filmmaker and a Toyota Visiting Professor at the Center for Japanese Studies\, University of Michigan. His films have been screened at such events as Berlin International Film Festival\, Venice International Film Festival\, Locarno International Film Festival\, Busan International Film Festival\, among others\, winning numerous awards. His filmography includes \"Campaign\" (2007)\, \"Mental\" (2008)\, \"Peace\" (2010)\, \"Theatre 1\" (2012)\, \"Theatre 2\" (2012)\, \"Campaign 2\" (2013)\, and \"Oyster Factory\" (2015). He is also the author of seven books published in Japan. Collaborating with UM professors and students\, he is currently making a feature documentary about the Michigan Stadium \"The Big House (working title).\"

DESCRIPTION:The ancient Greeks discovered five types of 3-dimensional solids with very nice symmetries\, and came up with various reasons why they should care about them. For example\, Plato conjectured that the icosahedron is the shape of all water particles. Unfortunately\, the ancient Greeks did not discover p-adic numbers. In this talk I will attempt to explain: what is a p-adic icosahedron and why should we care about it? Speaker(s): Harry Richman (UM)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra
DESCRIPTION:Stillman's conjecture (now a theorem by Ananyan-Hochster) shows that for all d_1\,...\,d_r there exists D such that any ideal generated by polynomials f_1\,...\,f_r of degrees d_1\,...\,d_r has projective dimension at most D\, no matter the polynomials or the number of variables these polynomials are defined in. By Erman-Sam-Snowden\, similar uniformity problems can be solved provided that we know the space of r-tuples of homogeneous polynomials in degrees d_1\,...\,d_r is Noetherian up to the action of the general linear group.\n\nIn this talk\, we will discuss some of the above\, and prove Noetherianity of the space of cubic polynomials. This gives the first known finiteness result in degree 3 or above. We prove Noetherianity by means of the concept of q-rank of a cubic polynomial\, which is strongly related to the concept of strength used by Ananyan-Hochster in their proof of Stillman's conjecture.

SUMMARY:Other:Adventures in Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer: from C-H Bond Reactions to Electrocatalysis to Nanocrystals
DESCRIPTION:A wide range of chemical processes proceed by proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET)\, from combustion to fuel cells to redox processes of minerals. This presentation will begin with fundamental studies of single reaction steps that involve transfer of one proton and one electron. Some of these reactions ‘look like’ transfer of a hydrogen atom\, while in other reactions the electron and proton are quite separated in the reactants or products. The rate constants for many of these reactions\, both organic and transition metal reactions\, can be understood using a version of Marcus Theory. These PCET concepts are being used to develop and understand new electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction\, and to provide new insights into the redox reaction chemistry of nanoscale oxide materials. \nJames Mayer (Yale University)

SUMMARY:Presentation:Community Wise! An Art Exhibition and Fish Bowl Conversation Celebrating the U-M Bicentennial
DESCRIPTION:Join the SSW Faculty Allies for Diversity Committee to celebrate Community Wise\, an intervention to reduce substance use for those with histories of incarceration. Community Wise employs Paulo Freire's critical consciousness theory\; inspired by pictographs Freire used to engage his research participants. PLEASE RSVP\; LINK BELOW under \"Web and Social.\"\n\nCommunity Wise has commissioned six paintings by artist Christopher A. Burkle that will stimulate a discussion on how we can all develop anti-oppressive thinking and action. The “fishbowl” invites the audience to both listen and contribute to a focused discussion. The presenters will role-play an actual session of Community Wise\, showing how to use paintings with critical consciousness to inspire dialogue about oppression. Guests will listen to the process and to the ideas presented. They will then have the opportunity to ask questions\, make observations\, and learn more about Community Wise.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar: Thinking inside the box: community consequences of stage-structured populations
DESCRIPTION:A central challenge in community ecology is to understand the connection between biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. The traditional approach in community ecology is based on the premise that predictions can be made by treating a species as a homogenous entity. However\, no population is truly homogenous and individuals within a species often vary considerably in their ecology. By far the largest source of this functional variation between individuals stems from differences in size and ontogenetic stage. The unresolved question is how this functional variation within species affects the structure and functioning of natural ecosystems. Using a combination of experiments and theoretical studies I demonstrate that these changes in the ecology of individuals during their development have important consequences on the dynamic\, structure and functioning of entire ecosystems and how they respond to natural or anthropogenic disturbances.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Law & Economics: The Effect of Police Slowdowns on Traffic Safety
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThough police strikes have been well studied\, there are almost no articles written on the public safety consequences of police work slowdowns— labor actions where police officers reduce their ticket-writing and/or arrest productivity for a temporary period. This article fills the current void by presenting evidence on the 1997 New York City Police Department work slowdown\, to my knowledge the longest documented police slowdown in US history. Drawing on several\, originally-collected data sources from the NYPD and other city agencies\, the article assesses the impact of the slowdown on ticket enforcement\, arrest enforcement\, and crime. The findings indicate that\, at least in the context of contract-motivated slowdowns where the union may be motivated to garner public support for pay increases\, the effects on public safety may be limited. Specifically\, in the case of the 1997 slowdown\, ticket-writing for all categories of tickets fell dramatically but arrest enforcement for all types of serious crime stayed the same or increased. Accordingly\, the crime effects were mostly concentrated in the area of minor criminal disorder (misdemeanors and violations). Only two categories of serious crime (larcenies and assaults) were affected and those crime increases were minimal. (JEL: J52\, K14\, K31)

Then  there is a complete L_{omega_1\,omega}-sentence with maximal models in cardinalities 2^{aleph_0}\, 2^{\aleph_1}\,...\,2^{aleph_n}.\n\nThe main construction behind these theorems is a refinement of a construction of J. Knight. This is recent work of J. Baldwin and the speaker. Speaker(s): Ioannis Souldatos (University of Detroit Mercy)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jonathan Barnbrook: What You Want Is Not What You Need
DESCRIPTION:Jonathan Barnbrook is probably best known for his design collaborations with David Bowie\, having created the covers for his last four albums\, including the final and current Grammy-nominated Blackstar. In addition to album covers and packaging\, his work encompasses a wide range of areas including activism and cultural design. He is known for his collaborations with the anti-advertising collective Adbusters\, the Occupy movement\, Banksy\, and Damien Hirst. His font ‘Mason’ was one of the first digital typefaces acquired by MoMA in 2013. He was given a major retrospective at the Design Museum\, London\, in 2007 and a touring exhibition that has been to over 10 countries. Barnbrook says\, “I still believe in the utopian goal of design\, to make people’s lives better\, whether that is through facilitating direct political action or simply helping people appreciate the beauty and mind opening philosophy of music. Working with Bowie and Occupy were both worthwhile and important as both have the possibility to change society.”\n\nIn partnership with the Detroit Creative Corridor Center\, stewards of the UNESCO City of Design designation.

All UM affiliates are welcome to come\, ask questions\, receive advice\, and network!If you have any questions\, feel free to check out our Facebook Page (AWiS-UM) for updates.\nRSVP Here:https://goo.gl/forms/HumxYgAr96gEp44i1 AWIS Post-Doc Panel 2/9/17 Current Participants:Dr. Courtney Roberts:PhD in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel HillI graduated from UNC last August with my PhD in chemistry. While in graduate school\, I developed new catalysts for carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. At UNC I served on the board of UNC WISE (Women in Science and Engineering) for two years. During my tenure on the board\, I helped to organize a day-long summit on women in science\, a Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon to create visibility for women in STEM\, and a monthly discussion meeting where we created a safe space to discuss topics such as intersectionality\, microagression\, and mentoring. I started my postdoc in September in the lab of Prof. Melanie Sanford and joined UM AWIS (Association for Women in Science) shortly after. I plan on pursuing a career in academia after my postdoc is finished.Dr. Jennifer Lachoweic:PhD in Genome Sciences from the University of Washington\, SeattleJen joined the Wittkopp lab in October 2014 after completing her PhD under the guidance of Christine Queitsch at the University of Washington\, Seattle\, during which she studied molecular mechanisms that control robustness to genetic perturbations and noise. Her projects in the Wittkopp lab will examine the evolution of gene expression using flies as a model.Dr. Andrea Hodgins-Davis:PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Yale UniversityAndrea joined the Wittkopp lab in May 2014 after completing her PhD at Yale University\, where she worked with Jeff Townsend in the Dept of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology combining empirical and theoretical approaches to study the evolution of genome-wide gene expression in budding yeast across an environmental gradient. In the Wittkopp lab\, Andrea will study the evolvability of gene expression in yeast.Dr. Jessica Anand:PhD in Medicinal Chemistry from the University of MichiganMy name is Jess Anand\, my work focuses developing mixed efficacy opioid ligands as a means of making safer more effective analgesics.I am currently a postdoc in the Pharmacology lab\, but started my career as a medicinal chemist. I have followed my project from design and synthesis of novel opioid compound through in vitro characterization\, and am currently working on pre-clinical in vivo experiments with the same compounds. I feel that work/life balance is important and spend a lot of my free time gardening\, cooking\, playing with my dog\, and eating good food with my spouse.Dr. Kendra Murray:PhD in Geosciences from the University of Arizona: \"Interpreting low-temperature thermochronology in magmatic terranes: Modeling and case studies from the Colorado Plateau\"I am a geologist who uses the chemistry of rocks to study the processes that build and shape mountain ranges in deep time. I moved to Michigan in the summer of 2016—a return to the northern tier of the US after 8 sunny years in southern Arizona during graduate school. I'm looking for a faculty job in academia\, preferably at a liberal arts college\, but am considering alternative career paths as a part of navigating the job market.Dr. Nicole BellefontainePhD in Neuroscience\, University of Lille2 (France)Currently 4th year research fellow in the Molecular and Integrative Physiology Department. I am interested in how metabolism controls puberty and fertility in mammals. I study these processes by examining molecular and genetic pathways within specific areas of the brain known to govern both metabolism and reproduction. I took a convoluted route to get here\, I did my undergraduate degree in psychology at McMaster University in Hamilton\, Ontario\, my Master's degree in psychology at Concordia University in Montreal\, my PhD in neuroscience at the University of Lille 2 in France\, and now I'm currently a senior postdoctoral fellow in the physiology department.Dr. Aqila AhmedPhD from Wayne State UniversityI studied role of DNA repair in aging phenotype of Down syndrome in Diane Cableof lab at Wayne State. I’m currently working on Notch signaling in prostate cancer in Evan Keller lab. I hope to share the journey of a single parent in science and talk about pros and cons of a career in science for those with children . I had a great mentor who understood my situation and pushed me to continue even when i felt like giving up. I grew up in Detroit and would like to help in bringing in more girls from underserved areas into STEM.Dr. Tammy BarnesPhD from Vanderbilt in Nashville\, TN\, Department of Internal Medicine.Dr. Barnes has just begun her third year working in Martin Myers’ laboratory studying novel facets of leptin signaling in the brain. Dr. Barnes also serves as Assistant Director for the Diabetes Research Center’s Molecular Genomics Core and works to generate novel mouse models for investigators affiliated with the DRC.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Slavic Studies Graduate Colloquium: Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Slavic Department Graduate Students Grace Mahoney and Haley Laurila will present their work related to Ukraine.\n\nGrace Mahoney: \"A Field of Foundlings: Collected Memory in the Poetry of Iryna Starovoit\"\nI will be speaking about Starovoit as a poet who considers history through the lens of collective memory and the present through the echoes of the past. She is also the poet I translate\, and my manuscript has been accepted for publication at Lost Horse Press as part of their forth-coming series on contemporary Ukrainian poetry. In light of this good news\, I am excited to present Iryna's poetry to our colleagues here and also take the opportunity to discuss the contemporary Ukrainian poetry scene and translation\, in general.\n \nHaley Laurila: “Forgetting to Remember: Chernobyl’s Exclusion Zone as Memorial Space.” \nThis paper will look at the three primary memorials located within the exclusion zone and examine the ways in which they interact with each other in this space of memory to produce a singular narrative of this disaster\, one of containment. This narrative of containment is predicated on forgetting certain aspects of the disaster’s consequences\, and because of this\, does not reflect the contemporary discussions and current concerns facing the communities most affected by this catastrophe. Additionally\, owing to the exclusion zone’s unique status as a highly-regulated museum of sorts\, I will look at the role that tourism plays in the ways in which the memory of Chernobyl is communicated.\n \nThis will be a colloquium in our usual format\, starting with a light supper followed by the presentations and open-ended discussion.\n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please contact Carolyn Dymond (dymond@umich.edu or 734.764.5355) at least 4 days in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

SUMMARY:Performance:Catie Curtis
DESCRIPTION:So many people have told Catie Curtis that her songs are like companions\, soundtracks for their lives. In her ‘90s gay-rights classic\, “Radical\,” she sang\, “I’m not being radical when I kiss you/ And I don’t love you to make a point.” The intimacy with which she expressed her lesbian identity helped others through their own difficult journey to openness. “To me\, a song is like a conversation with a friend\,” she says. “Like when you’re sharing stories with friends\, there’s always a lot of ‘Yeah\, yeah\, me\, too.’ There’s a kind of voice you use when you talk to someone you’re comfortable with. That’s the voice I look for in my songs.” In the mid-'90s\, Catie was a budding newcomer in a Boston folk scene that was producing stars like Dar Williams and Tracy Chapman. In 1995\, she lost her glasses and\, needing money for new ones\, took a gig at New York’s Bottom Line. She was discovered and signed by EMI/Guardian Records\, joining Joan Baez\, Jimmy Webb\, and the Nields. Perhaps too quickly\, she skyrocketed to major-label star. “They reminded me that\, first and foremost\, I was a product\,” she says. “My A&R guy actually told me\, ‘You need to learn to be more of a diva\,’ because I was dressing casually and going out to talk to fans after shows. They were trying to build me into something larger than life. It wasn’t a perfect fit that way.” But it did launch her career. She moved on to successful tenures at Rykodisc\, Vanguard and Compass. What sustains her long career\, however\, is the concert stage. Club Passim’s Matt Smith says\, “She doesn’t bother following trends\; she’s true to herself but continues to push the boundary of what she does. And she always brings the audience along for the ride.” And consider this from Mary Chapin Carpenter: “Catie takes something that’s very difficult\, that takes enormous skill and natural gifts\, and makes it look easy. I know it takes years and years to feel that comfortable on a stage\, to know yourself and how to bring people in like she can. You feel like you’re being transported\, that you know her\, and that’s she’s given you something of herself.”
