The tale that emerges demonstrates the power of music and poetry to spark the social imagination and thus create a sense of shared community.\n\nInspired by the successful defense of Baltimore\, Maryland from British attack in September 1814\, lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned his now famous lyric. Rather than extraordinary\, Key’s creative impulse was typical of early America’s broadside ballad tradition in which new words were written to fit well known tunes. The result\, however\, was far from everyday—Key could not have predicted that his song would survive the moment\, yet become his nation’s singular anthem.\n\nFollow the “The Star-Spangled Banner” from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day and explore the social history of our national song.\nMarch 2017 to September 2017 \n\nMonday - Friday. 8:45 am - 4:45 pm\nClosed all Federal holidays.

Discarded shoes\, tarps and handmade signs that mark the post-industrial landscape become part roadside memorial and part doomsday prophecy. These temporary sculptures - set against the backdrop of environmental decline - evoke a cautionary tale of hazmat crews and oil soaked shorelines. \n\nIf there is a place for both apathy and active resistance in the way forward to a better future\, Another Country carries the tension that’s in-between. Inspired by the visual resistance of liberation parties\, past and present\, it urges us to remember why we fight.\n\nShanna Merola is an artist\, activist\, and documentary photographer. Working for civil rights attorneys\, she photographs first amendment activity at protests and facilitates workshops on best practices during police encounters. Over the past five years she has been a human rights observer for social justice movements across the country - from the deeply embattled struggle over water rights in Detroit and Flint\, Michigan - to the frontlines of uprisings in Ferguson\, MO and Standing Rock\, ND. Her collages and constructed landscapes are informed by these rallies - from direct actions against fracking companies to the privatization of water both globally and locally. She is currently working on a collaborative production of Know Your Rights Theatre\, inspired by the politically radical puppet troupes of the 1960’s.\n\nMerola received an MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Photo and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University. She lives and works in Detroit\, Michigan.

He demonstrated that even small increases in multipotent ALDHbrightCD133+ cancer stem-like cells (CSC) significantly increase chemotherapy resistance and tumor initiation capacity. ALDH1A family members (ALDH1A1\, 1A2\, and 1A3) have been implicated as the primary enzymes identifying CSC and have been strongly linked with chemotherapy resistance. Given the expression of ALDH1A family members in CSC and their role in chemotherapy resistance\, he hypothesized they could be important therapeutic targets.\n\nDr. Buckanovich developed a panel of novel ALDH inhibitors (ALDHi) and identified a DEAB analog 673540 (673A) which inhibits all three ALDH1A1 enzymes (IC50 ~220nM). Pan-ALDH1A inhibition\, induced necroptotic cell death specifically in ALDHbright and CD133+ ovarian CSC. 673A induced necroptosis was driven by the induction of the mitochondrial uncoupling proteins\, UCP1 and UCP3\, and reduction in OXPHOS capacity. Necroptosis was caspase and RIP1 independent\, but is associated with MLKL translocation to membrane\, and DRP1 activation and translocation to mitochondria. 673A therapy was highly synergistic with chemotherapy\, reducing tumor initiation capacity\, and resulting in a 60% tumor cure rate in multiple tumor models in-vivo.\n\nALDHi are highly active in experimental models of ovarian cancer. As ALDHi induce metabolic necroptosis\, ALDHi are active in apoptosis resistant ovarian cancer cell lines. These studies support the development of ALDHi as novel therapeutics for ovarian cancer.

Instead\, she taps into the energy of community and its humanness—restless\, frenetic\, din\, a choir\, extending beyond the confines of walls. \n\nSnelling’s representations are neither judgmental nor opportunistic. They unaffectedly and objectively offer a multidimensional sketch of a place in time\, how we occupy space. \n\nHer signature piece \"One Thousand Shacks\" (included in this exhibition along with new work created during her her residency here) pushes up against the challenges of economic inequalities\, racial biases\, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people. Concurrently\, the installation embraces our everyday existence expressed through Snelling’s exuberant palette\, bold graphics\, video and neon. \n\nConceptually\, Snelling’s stacking method first creates an exalted “big picture” with a myriad of colors\, image\, text\, sound and light. The counterpoint in scale soon immerses the viewer into each small world. With this shift\, the onlooker becomes the active participant\, the occupant in situ\, adding the trappings of their own experiences to each tableau. It is this shift that forces the viewer into a new way of seeing from varying perspectives.\n\nOn the one hand\, the artist’s sculptures allude to our desire for refuge\, a private domain that allows us to be ourselves. On the other\, the overall composition reaffirms it is imperative that we co-exist with one another respectfully\, forge relationships\, understanding our marked differences. It is diversity—the unique and often disparate combination of things\, the cacophony of it all\, that activates communities and public space.\n\nSnelling’s constructions literally build a way out\, one on top of another\, charged with the undercurrent of the way we live. They emphasize our universal longing to find a place called home\, and be accepted\, built on the foundation of one and of many. \n–Amanda Krugliak\, Arts Curator\, Institute for the Humanities\n\nAbout Tracey Snelling:\nThrough the use of sculpture\, photography\, video\, and large-scale installation\, Tracey Snelling gives her impression of a place\, its people and their experience. Often\, the cinematic image stands in for real life as it plays out behind windows in the buildings\, sometimes creating a sense of mystery\, other times stressing the mundane. Snelling’s work derives from voyeurism\, film noir\, and geographical and architectural location. Within this idea of location\, themes develop that transport observation into the realm of storytelling\, with reality and sociological study being the focus. Snelling had exhibited in international galleries\, museums and institutions\, including the The Royal Museum of Fine Arts\, Belgium\; Palazzo Reale\, Milan\; Museum of Arts and Design\, New York\; Kunstmuseen Krefeld Germany\; El Museo de Arte de Banco de la Republica\, Bogota\; the Stenersen Museet\, Oslo\, and the Sundance Film Festival. Her short films have screened at the San Francisco International Film Festival\, the Thessaloniki International Film Festival\, Circuito Off in Venice\, Italy\, and the Arquiteturas Film Festival Lisboa in Portugal. She also received a 2015 Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors Grant. Snelling lives and works in Oakland\, California and Berlin\, Germany.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012446@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170320T100705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170324T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170324T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:22nd Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners DESCRIPTION:The Prison Creative Arts Project is proud to announce the dates for the upcoming 22nd Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners.

Reuther Library Woodcock Conference Room\nWalter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University\n5401 Cass Ave\, Detroit\, MI 48202\n\nBorn and raised in Chicago by Mexican-American parents\, Nancy De Los Santos is an accomplished filmmaker and proud “Chicana from Chicago” who has dedicated her life and career to rewriting and redefining the image of Latina/os in the mainstream media. Among her most celebrated works are as Co-Writer and Co-Producer of The Bronze Screen: 100 Years of the Latin Image in Hollywood Cinema\, with Susan Racho and Alberto Dominguez\, and as Associate Producer on the feature film Selena.\n\nIn Chicana Fotos\, an exhibit of evocative photographs taken in the 1970s\, we meet a very different Nancy: a woman armed with a camera\, capturing historic events in the struggles for social justice of the time. Nancy’s photographs of Chicano Movement marches and rallies\, farmworker mobilizations in Chicago and Texas\, and Latina organizing in the Midwest and internationally offer a priceless documentary view of Latina/o politics in the 1970s. Her more intimate pictures of everyday Latina/o life capture what it was like to live through a period of radical social transformation. The exhibit includes rare photographs of UFW organizing activities in Chicago\, the Texas Farmworker Pilgrimage of 1977\, and the first ever International Women’s Year Conference in Mexico City in 1975. These images are supplemented by never before exhibited documents from the Walter P. Reuther UFW Collection.\n\nChicana Fotos was curated by University of Michigan professor Maria Cotera (with assistance from Pau Nava) and designed by students and faculty of the UM Stamps School of Art & Design. Stamps School faculty Hannah Smotrich and Katie Rubin co-taught the collaborative\, interdisciplinary Exhibition Design class with students Ian Crowley\, Rachel Dawson\, Emilie Farrugia\, Kelsi Franzino\, Andrew Han\, Jack Hyland\, Maggie Lemak\, Megan Lewin-Smith\, Katie Mongoven\, Olivia Moore\, Pau Nava\, and Sarah Wolf.\n\nChicana Fotos is a collaboration between the El Museo del Norte\, the Chicana por mi Raza Digital Archive\, the Stamps School of Art & Design and the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University.\n\nThe Walter P. Reuther Library of Labor and Urban Affairs at Wayne State University is the largest labor archive in North America. In addition to internationally significant collections on the history of the North American labor movement\, the Reuther Library holds the official records of Wayne State University\, as well as extensive records documenting urban affairs\, civic life\, civil rights\, ethnic and religious organizations\, and community development across Southeast Michigan.\n\nChicana Fotos was made possible through the generous financial support of the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative and the Stamps School of Art & Design. Gallery talk sponsored by the Center for Latina/o and Latin American Studies\, Wayne State University\, and the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative.

The Student Senate passed a resolution urging the U.S. government to lift the embargo on selling arms to Spain. Students formed an aid committee\, held rallies\, and raised funds to send an ambulance to Spain.

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.

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.

They were part of what historians characterize as a watershed in African American History-the Great Migration. From 1910 to 1930\, hundreds of thousands of Blacks headed North\, leaving the South because of economic hardship\, poor educational opportunities\, and enticed by the lure of better jobs in northern industries and more freedom. Cites in the industrial Northeast and Midwest experienced astounding increases in their Black populations\, but few more so that Detroit\, its institutions and its cultures\, took shape and developed. The problems encountered by the migrants in the form of discrimination and racial animosity were problems with which the city would grapple throughout the decades to follow.\n\nThis exhibit focused on the two major concerns of the migrants\, housing and jobs\, and on the attempts made by various organizations in adjusting to life in Detroit. It is primarily compiled from the holding s of the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library\, particularly the rich collection of the Detroit Urban League. It is also drawn from the Collections of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of Labor History and Urban Affairs (Wayne State University)\, the Collections of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village\, the Detroit News\, and tge Second Baptist Church of Detroit\, Michigan. The exhibit was prepared by Christine Weideman and Karen Jania\, staff members of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n*From the poem\, “Northboun’” by Lucy Ariel Williams\, printed in Opportunity “: a Journal of Negro Life\, June 1926. The journal was a publication of the National Urban League.

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.

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.

This two-part exhibition (Part I: Figuration followed by Part II: Abstraction on view July 1– October 29) presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. The works themselves are equally diverse\, ranging from ancient sculptures to contemporary multimedia works. Part I: Figuration features works by Henri Matisse\, Elizabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun\, Mark Tansey\, and Mickalene Thomas\, among others\, and allows visitors to explore the variety of artistic responses and purposes encompassed by the term “figuration”. It also offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\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.

This versatility of legged robots\, however\, brings challenges such as obtaining stable walking and running gaits. A type of walking gait\, which is the focus of this talk\, is a periodic one\, which can be associated with a periodic orbit of the dynamic model that represents the legged robot. The common method for obtaining such periodic orbits is conducting a numerical search for fixed points of a Poincaré map. However\, as the number of degrees of freedom of the system grows\, such numerical search becomes computationally expensive because in each search trial the dynamic equations need to be integrated. Moreover\, the numerical search for periodic orbits is in general sensitive to model errors. I will show that we can overcome these issues by using the �Symmetry Method for Limit Cycle Walking�\, which relaxes the need to search for periodic orbits\, and at the same time\, gives rise to limit cycles that are robust to model errors. Mathematically\, the symmetry method is described in the context of Symmetric Hybrid Systems. I will show that legged robots\, due to the symmetries that they possess\, are symmetric hybrid systems and hence\, have an infinite number (indeed\, a continuum) of periodic orbits that can be identified easily. I will present the experimental results of the symmetry method on the humanoid robot COMAN at the Biorobotics laboratory of EPFL.\n Speaker(s): Hamed Razavi (ETH) UID:32876-4631774@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/32876 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1324 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170321T113058 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170324T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170324T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SEGREGATED SPACES DESCRIPTION:The Initiative for Inclusive Design invites you to join us for our presentation on segregated spaces.

DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to see? How do historians rely on the visual to interpret the past? Is the visual record misleading? These questions serve as a launching off point for this workshop\, which considers the relationship between sight and historical interpretation\, between visual materials and historical research. In an ocularcentric world were visual practices are privileged over other sensory modes\, historians regularly search for meaning through the visual —photographs\, manuscripts\, letters—in the archives. Drawing on ways of seeing and researching across global contexts\, our panelists explore the possibilities and pitfalls of interpreting the past through visual representations.\n\nPanelists include: \nSaquib Usman (PhD student\, Anthropology\, University of Michigan) \nTara Weinberg (PhD student\, History\, University of Michigan) \nXiaoyue Li (PhD student\, History\, University of Michigan) \nOsagie K.

These neurons express the critically important enzyme Glucose­6­Phosphatase (green)\, and a subset of them also express NPY\, a neuropeptide implicated in feeding regulation\, fat metabolism\, and numerous other processes. Neural gluconeogenesis regulates glucose and glycogen levels in flies that experience starvation\, revealing an novel mechanism of metabolic regulation of energy carriers.\n\nHost: Monica Dus UID:33580-4757508@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/33580 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Research,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170317T123830 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170324T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170324T133000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:#EHour: Ayush Agarwal | Facebook DESCRIPTION:Ayush Agarwal is a proud alum\, having graduated U-M in ‘06 with a BSE in Computer Science Engineering.

This thesis is concerned with extending the theory to the setting of GLk-equivariant modules and sheaves on Grassmannians Gr(k\, Cn). Algebraically\, we study modules over a polynomial ring in kn variables\, thought of as the entries of a k X n matrix. The goal is to characterize equivariant Betti tables of such modules and\, dually\, cohomology tables of sheaves on Gr(k\, Cn).\nWe give equivariant analogues of two important features of the ordinary theory: the Herzog-Kuhl equations and the pairing between Betti and cohomology tables. As a necessary step and fundamental base case\, we consider resolutions and certain more general complexes for the case of square matrices. \nOur statements specialize to those of ordinary Boij-Soderberg theory when k = 1. Our proof of the equivariant pairing gives a new proof in the graded setting: it relies on finding perfect matchings on certain graphs associated to Betti tables.

Their behavior places them at risk for a number of significant educational\, social\, and legal difficulties and their behavior can lead to serious consequences to the victims of their antisocial and aggressive acts. The current presentation will focus on research charting the various developmental pathways that can lead to Conduct Disorder\, focusing especially on one pathway that involves failures in the normal development of empathy\, guilt\, and other forms of prosocial emotions. Children in this pathway often show a particularly severe\, aggressive\, and stable pattern of behavior\, which has led to its inclusion in recent diagnostic criteria for Conduct Disorder. The current talk will also focus on the implications of this research for identifying children in need of early intervention for their behavior problems and for designing effective interventions for children and adolescents with Conduct Disorder in mental health clinics\, schools\, or the juvenile justice system.\n \nPaul J. Frick\, Ph.D is the Roy Crumpler Memorial Chair in the Department of Psychology at the Louisiana State University and professor in Learning Science Institute of Australia at Australian Catholic University.

J. Winckelmann has been isolated from the wider context which made his career possible: the libertine culture of aristocratic neo-classicism which spread from Italy to France\, England\, and the Germanies in the eighteenth century and\, more importantly\, the booming Roman art market which served the Grand Tour. Winckelmann\, who had seen almost nothing but Baroque (and medieval) art before arriving in Rome\, spent most of his first years in Rome among artists and restorers\, who taught him a great deal about the technicalities of classical art. Winckelmann befriended many restorers—including Rome’s most successful\, Bartholomeo Cavaceppi—as well as art dealers\, men for whom the discernment of styles\, authenticity\, and iconography were professional and vital requirements. We may not ever know just how much Winckelmann learned from the Roman makers and collectors of casts\, copies\, and forgeries\, or from the dealers\, but it was certainly a significant amount. Finally\, we need to see Winckelmann’s work too in the context of mercantile attempts to make ‘national’ luxury goods salable on wider European and world markets\; the porcelain industry\, with its emphasis on ‘whiteness\,’ is especially relevant to the making of neoclassical taste. \n\nFor a copy of the paper\, please contact Julia Hell at hell@umich.edu.\n\nFree and open to the Public.

But some of its strongest advocates deny that they are engaged in feminist scholarship or in any way influenced by feminist politics. Professor Wylie questions their conviction that research is only credible if it is ‘value free’\, and argues that the critical insights of a feminist standpoint are a crucial resource for empirical research\, and not just in archaeology. Rather than a ‘view from nowhere’\, she makes the case for rethinking ideals of objectivity in terms that counter epistemic injustice and mobilize the situated interests and experience of diverse knowers.\n\nAlison Wylie is a Professor of Philosophy at the Universities of Washington (Seattle) and Durham (UK). Her focal interests as a philosopher of science are questions about how we know what we (think) we know\, especially as these arise in archaeological practice and in feminist social science. In both contexts a flashpoint for internal debate has been a cluster of epistemic claims that many see as profoundly destabilizing: that what counts as evidence is inescapably an interpretive construct\, and that social\, and that contextual values play in all aspects of inquiry. Wylie argues that polarized reactions to constructionist and relativist challenges miss the point\; we need to start with the messy realities of inquiry and consider how situated knowers do their best work. Taking up this challenge she asks: What counts as evidence? and\, How are research communities enriched when they cultivate a diversity of experience\, angles of vision\, skills and insight? Her publications Thinking from Things (2002) and\, with archaeologist Bob Chapman\, Material Evidence (co-edited\, 2015) and Evidential Reasoning in Archaeology (co-authored\, 2016)\; articles on collaborative practice in archaeology (e.g.\, in Objectivity in Science 2015)\; and several recent papers on feminist standpoint theory\, including the 2012 Presidential Address to the American Philosophical Association\, “Feminist Philosophy of Science: Standpoint Matters.”\n\nThis event is part of IRWG's Feminist Science Studies program.

Motion by mean curvature is a prototype of geometric motion which is a gradient flow (of the surface energy). Heterogeneity leads to wiggling energy landscape. Their combination gives rise to interesting questions about surface dynamics\, pinning-depinning phenomena and the underlying pattern formation. The above can be demonstrated even in very simple spin systems with nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions.

I will discuss some (hardly all) of the following topics. \n\n 1. A survival guide for feeble fish. How fish can get from A to B in turbulent waters which maybe much fasted than the locomotive speed of the fish (provided that there is no large-scale drift of the water flow)? This is related to homogenization of G-equation which is believed to govern many combustion processes. Based on a joint work with S. Ivanov and A. Novikov.\n 2. One of the greatest achievements in Dynamics in the XX century is the KAM Theory. It says that a small perturbation of a non-degenerate completely integrable system still has an overwhelming measure of invariant tori with quasi-periodic dynamics. What happens outside KAM tori has been remaining a great mystery. The main quantitate invariants so far are entropies. It is easy\, by modern standards\, to show that topological entropy can be positive. It lives\, however\, on a zero measure set. We are now able to show that metric entropy can become infinite too\, under arbitrarily small C^{infty} perturbations\, answering an old-standing problem of Kolmogorov. Furthermore\, a slightly modified construction resolves another longstanding problem of the existence of entropy non-expansive systems. In these modified examples positive positive metric entropy is generated in arbitrarily small tubular neighborhood of one trajectory. Joint with S. Ivanov and D. Chen.\n 3. \"What is inside?\" Imagine a body with some intrinsic structure\, which\, as usual\, can be thought of as a metric. One knows distances between boundary points (say\, by sending waves and measuring how long it takes them to reach specific points on the boundary). One may think of medical imaging or geophysics. This topic is related to minimal fillings and surfaces in normed spaces. Joint work with S. Ivanov.\n 4. How well can we approximate an (unbounded) space by a metric graph whose parameters (degree of vertices\, length of edges\, density of vertices etc) are uniformly bounded? We want to control the ADDITIVE error. Some answers (the most difficult one is for $\R^2$) are given using dynamics and Fourier series. Joint with Ivanov. \n 5.How can one discretize elliptic PDEs without using finite elements\, triangulations and such? On manifolds and even reasonably \"nice\"mm spaces. A notion of rho-Laplacian and its stability. Joint with S. Ivanov and Kurylev.\n 6. A solution of Buseman's problem on minimality of surface area in normed spaces for 2-D surfaces (including a new formula for the area of a convex polygon). joint with S. Ivanov.

Kodama and Williams showed a remarkable relationship between soliton graphs\, which encode the asymptotic behavior of line soliton solutions of the KP equation\, and Postnikov's combinatorial theory of the totally nonnegative Grassmannian. Line soliton solutions correspond to points in the Grassmannian\, and soliton graphs which come from the totally positive Grassmannian turn out to be examples of Postnikov's plabic graphs. In addition\, Kodama and Williams showed that soliton graphs corresponding to the totally positive part of the Grassmannian of planes have a nice combinatorial interpretation interms of triangulations. In this talk\, we use triangulations to encode soliton graphs for the totally positive part of Gr(k\,n) for all k. In the process\, we recover Kodama and Williams' result that these soliton graphs are in fact plabic graphs. This project is joint with Yuji Kodama and Jihui Huang.\n Speaker(s): Rachel Karpman (Ohio State University) UID:37178-6337469@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/37178 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 4088 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160815T202311 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170324T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170324T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory DESCRIPTION:Abstract and paper not yet available.

This deformation history altered the topography and drainage patterns and basins throughout the southwest. We perform a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics of the plate boundary zone in the western U.S. since 36 Ma\, focusing on the U.S. Basin and Range region\, with the goal of understanding the link between mantle dynamics\, crustal deformation history\, and topography evolution. Using position estimates from McQuarrie and Wernicke [2005]\, we determine lithospheric strain rates through time and integrate these to determine estimates of crustal thickness evolution. Final estimates of crustal thickness and topography show prominent ‘Nevadaplano’ and Mogollon highland regions that would have resulted from Sevier through Laramide aged shortening. The locations of Cordilleran metamorphic core complexes lie within these zones of reconstructed thick crustal welts\, in agreement with Coney and Harms [1984]. Using reconstructions of topography and crustal thickness we investigate solutions to vertically integrated force-balance equations for the lithosphere through time. Results show that deviatoric stresses associated with gravitational collapse of topography are consistent with early crustal stretch directions along the belt of metamorphic core complexes within the southwestern Cordillera. We also solve for stress field boundary conditions through time\, such that the contributions from crustal body forces\, together with boundary condition effects\, can provide a total stress field that is consistent with the orientations of crustal strain through time. The boundary conditions suggest the need for additional extension imposed\, first\, on the Great Basin (between 36 – 20 Ma) and then on the southern Basin and Range (25 – 15 Ma). These calculations are consistent with the proposed slab rollback history of the Farallon slab [Dickinson\, 2002]. Between 15 Ma and 5 Ma the boundary conditions are dominated by stresses associated with the development of the strike-slip plate boundary zone in California. Our calculations for the dynamics over time within the southwestern Cordillera suggest that following Sevier and Laramide shortening events\, the lithosphere must have undergone dramatic weakening. This weakening\, together with the changing boundary conditions\, led to a dramatic collapse of a mountain belt that rivaled the present-day Andes in elevation. The most likely weakening mechanism is associated with the introduction of heat\, fluids and volcanism\, which can be linked to the slab rollback history of the Farallon plate.

These dynamical “liquid droplets” enable many central cellular functions – from ribosome assembly\, to RNA regulation and storage\, to signaling and metabolism. While it is clear that these compartments represent a type of separated phase\, what controls their formation\, how specific biological components are included or excluded\, and how these structures influence physiological and biochemical processes remain largely mysterious. I will discuss recent experiments on phase separated droplets both in vitro and in vivo\, and will present theoretical results that highlight a novel “magic number” effect relevant to the formation and control of two-component phase separated liquid droplets.

To facilitate the early lead discovery rate\, I will first describe a rapid protein-based 19F NMR method for detecting protein-ligand interactions by screening low complexity molecules (fragments) as well as higher complexity molecules. We label the aromatic amino acids with the highly sensitive fluorine atom\, due to the high conservation of aromatic residues at protein interfaces. We have tested the sensitivity\, accuracy\, and speed of this method with the protein interaction domain of CBP\, KIX\, screening 508 small molecule fragments. In the second part of the talk\, I will describe an extension and improvements in our method for the field of epigenetics targeting bromodomain-containing proteins Brd4\, BrdT and BPTF. These studies have led to the discovery of some of the first selective ligands for the bromodomain BPTF and new submicromolar ligands for Brd4. Finally\, I will address the synthesis\, development\, and application of two of our new chemical probes for studying epigenetic protein function\, including a new role for BPTF regulation of the oncogene\, c-Myc. The speed\, ease of interpretation\, and low concentration of protein needed for binding experiments affords a new method to discover and characterize both native and new ligands for bromodomains and may find utility in the study of additional epigenetic “reader” domains.\nWilliam Pomerantz (University of Minnesota) UID:38903-7435844@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/38903 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170324T180013 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170324T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170324T200000 SUMMARY:Other:Food Fundraiser!

Insights can be gained from placing phonetic and phonological findings within their social context. Recent advances in phonetic methods can enhance our descriptions and understanding of speech in practice. This talk illustrates the rewards of doing sociophonetic research by considering a case study which takes a particular sociological context\, Glasgow\, a large industrial city over the 20th century\, and examines phonological variation and change over the same period in its vernacular dialect (Stuart-Smith et al in press 2017\; Stuart-Smith et al in press 2017\; Sounds of the City). Specifically I will present findings from novel phonetic investigation into three areas of the consonantal system\, coda /r l/ (cf Stuart-Smith et al 2015)\, fricatives /s ʃ/ (cf Stuart-Smith 2007)\, and the stop voicing contrast /b d t d k g/ (cf Stuart-Smith et al 2015). The results demonstrate how sound changes are linked with the changing social context in which they occur for this speech community over time. They also show how the inclusion of social information can enhance our understanding of phonetic and phonological processes more generally.\n\nReferences\n\nFoulkes\, Paul\, and Gerard Docherty. 2006.

We consider a class of solutions with pure impulse initial data below threshold that decay at $|x|\to \infty$. We are particularty interested in a neighbourhood of the gradient catastrophy that contains both modulated plane waves and spikes. We aim to describe the solutions using special funtions. Besides the gradient catastrophe point (we think of it as a more degenerate point than other generic locations of phase transition)\, we are also intested in describing when the first time the phase transition appear for genral location and the behaviours of the solutions nearby. These phase transitions have universality in the sense that the space-time locations and solutions behave the same way in the asymptotic limit for different initial data chosen from the class we consider. The location only depends on very simple parameters. We use the Deift-Zhou steepest descent method for the analysis and the result is inspired by Tovbis-Bertola.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012447@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170323T085448 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170325T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170325T180000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Conference: Standing with Spain: Anti-Fascist Student Activism and the Spanish Civil War DESCRIPTION:From 1936 to 1939\, large numbers of U-M students mobilized to support the Spanish Republic as it fought a military uprising backed by Hitler and Mussolini.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This two-part exhibition (Part I: Figuration followed by Part II: Abstraction on view July 1– October 29) presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. The works themselves are equally diverse\, ranging from ancient sculptures to contemporary multimedia works. Part I: Figuration features works by Henri Matisse\, Elizabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun\, Mark Tansey\, and Mickalene Thomas\, among others\, and allows visitors to explore the variety of artistic responses and purposes encompassed by the term “figuration”. It also offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\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.

Since then\, Lambchop has evolved into an accomplished ensemble\, touring Europe\, adding palpable depth and substance to singer-songwriter-guitarist Kurt Wagner’s songs—and the band sounds as commanding as ever on its new album\, \"For Love Often Turns Us Still\,\" officially titled \"FLOTUS.\" Lambchop may not sound in any conventional way like a country band (even the steel guitar\, once prominent\, is long gone from the band’s lineup)\, and yet the essential spirit of country music—the sound of someone just trying to make sense of life’s little ups and downs—remains present in its music. The new album is also home to a streak of digital blues. Come hear the longform \"In Care of 8675309\,\" which sounds like nothing else in Nashville\, or anywhere else for that matter.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012448@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170314T163515 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170326T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170326T140000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lasting Synergies DESCRIPTION:The history of the Ann Arbor Film Festival is inextricably linked with the history of the University of Michigan.

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.

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 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.

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.

RSVP at http://umichfordschool.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_d43P0098ezJPhNb\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Institute for the Humanities and the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. \n\nAbout the symposium:\nIn recent years\, the public has become increasingly critical of patent systems. Rather than seeing them as merely technical and legal domains far removed from their daily lives\, citizens have begun to see patent systems as connected to matters of health\, economic inequality\, agriculture\, public morality—even democracy. This civil society interest is not entirely surprising. After all\, both the number of patent applications and the scope of patentable subject matter has grown across the world. And\, patents have been granted on the fruits of indigenous knowledge\, genetically engineered animals and plants\, human embryonic stem cells\, and business methods\, to name a few. This one-day symposium aims to grapple with this growing controversy\, and explore ways forward for patents and patent systems that maximizes the public interest and social justice.

This civil society interest is not entirely surprising. After all\, both the number of patent applications and the scope of patentable subject matter has grown across the world. And\, patents have been granted on the fruits of indigenous knowledge\, genetically engineered animals and plants\, human embryonic stem cells\, and business methods\, to name a few. This one-day symposium aims to grapple with this growing controversy\, and explore ways forward for patents and patent systems that maximizes the public interest and social justice. It brings together a notably diverse array of experts on these issues\, including historians\, political scientists\, legal and science and technology studies scholars\, and civil society advocates\, whose work focuses on the intersection of patents and the public interest. \n\nThe day will end with a book talk and reception celebrating the publication of Shobita Parthasarathy’s Patent Politics: Life Forms\, Markets\, and the Public Interest in the United States and Europe (University of Chicago Press\, 2017). \n\nAgenda: \n\nAGENDA:\n8:30 - 9:00 AM: CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST\n\n8:45 - 9:00 AM: INTRODUCTIONS\n\nSidonie Smith\, Mary Fair Croushore Professor of the Humanities\, Professor of English and Women’s Studies\, and Director of the Institute for the Humanities\, University of Michigan\n\nShobita Parthasarathy\, Associate Professor of Public Policy and Women’s Studies\, University of Michigan\n\n9:00 - 10:40 AM: PATENTS AND DEMOCRACY\n\nModerator: John Carson\, Department of History\, University of Michigan\n\nPatent Politics in the Age of Illiberalism\nKali Murray\, Marquette University School of Law\n\nPromoting the Progress of Public Interest Patent Law Advocacy\nSandra Park\, American Civil Liberties Union\n\nRe-embedding intellectual property into public policy - Advocacy and the importance of short causal chains\nSusan Sell\, Australian National University\n\n10:40 - 11:00 AM: COFFEE BREAK\n\n11:00 - 12:40 PM: PATENTS AND THE GLOBAL POLITICS OF KNOWLEDGE\n\nModerator: Rebecca Eisenberg\, Law School\, University of Michigan\n\nIntellectual Property and Traditional Knowledge: Personal Reflections on the Biopiracy Debate\, 1988-2017\nGraham Dutfield\, University of Leeds\n\nGlobal Intellectual Property: Partnerships and the UN Sustainable Development Goals\nMargaret Chon\, University of Seattle\n\nIntellectual Property Regimes and Genetic Resources: The Push for Transparency\, Policy Space\, and Fairness\nMargo Bagley\, Emory University School of Law\n\n12:40 - 2:00 PM: LUNCH\n\n2:00 - 3:40 PM: CONSIDERING THE SOCIAL\, ECONOMIC\, AND MORAL DIMENSIONS OF PATENTS\n\nModerator\, Paula Lantz\, Public Policy\, University of Michigan\n\nThe role of patents when R&D costs are delinked from drug prices.\nJames Love\, Knowledge Ecology International\n\nJustice framed as dignity\; reflections on diagnostic patents in IVF treatment\nAlain Pottage\, London School of Economics\n\nPatent Responsibly: Can We Assess the Social Cost of Patenting?\nMario Biagioli\, University of California—Davis\n\n3:40 - 4:00 PM: COFFEE BREAK\n\n4:00 PM: BOOK LAUNCH\, PATENT POLITICS\n\nShobita Parthasarathy discusses her new book\, Patent Politics: Life Forms\, Markets\, and the Public Interest in the United States and Europe (University of Chicago Press\, 2017)\, followed by discussion with Richard Hall\, Professor of Political Science and Public Policy\, University of Michigan\, then audience Q&A.\n\nSusan Collins\, Joan and Sanford Weill Dean of the Gerald R.

The tale that emerges demonstrates the power of music and poetry to spark the social imagination and thus create a sense of shared community.\n\nInspired by the successful defense of Baltimore\, Maryland from British attack in September 1814\, lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned his now famous lyric. Rather than extraordinary\, Key’s creative impulse was typical of early America’s broadside ballad tradition in which new words were written to fit well known tunes. The result\, however\, was far from everyday—Key could not have predicted that his song would survive the moment\, yet become his nation’s singular anthem.\n\nFollow the “The Star-Spangled Banner” from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day and explore the social history of our national song.\nMarch 2017 to September 2017 \n\nMonday - Friday. 8:45 am - 4:45 pm\nClosed all Federal holidays.

Discarded shoes\, tarps and handmade signs that mark the post-industrial landscape become part roadside memorial and part doomsday prophecy. These temporary sculptures - set against the backdrop of environmental decline - evoke a cautionary tale of hazmat crews and oil soaked shorelines. \n\nIf there is a place for both apathy and active resistance in the way forward to a better future\, Another Country carries the tension that’s in-between. Inspired by the visual resistance of liberation parties\, past and present\, it urges us to remember why we fight.\n\nShanna Merola is an artist\, activist\, and documentary photographer. Working for civil rights attorneys\, she photographs first amendment activity at protests and facilitates workshops on best practices during police encounters. Over the past five years she has been a human rights observer for social justice movements across the country - from the deeply embattled struggle over water rights in Detroit and Flint\, Michigan - to the frontlines of uprisings in Ferguson\, MO and Standing Rock\, ND. Her collages and constructed landscapes are informed by these rallies - from direct actions against fracking companies to the privatization of water both globally and locally. She is currently working on a collaborative production of Know Your Rights Theatre\, inspired by the politically radical puppet troupes of the 1960’s.\n\nMerola received an MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Photo and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University. She lives and works in Detroit\, Michigan.

Instead\, she taps into the energy of community and its humanness—restless\, frenetic\, din\, a choir\, extending beyond the confines of walls. \n\nSnelling’s representations are neither judgmental nor opportunistic. They unaffectedly and objectively offer a multidimensional sketch of a place in time\, how we occupy space. \n\nHer signature piece \"One Thousand Shacks\" (included in this exhibition along with new work created during her her residency here) pushes up against the challenges of economic inequalities\, racial biases\, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people. Concurrently\, the installation embraces our everyday existence expressed through Snelling’s exuberant palette\, bold graphics\, video and neon. \n\nConceptually\, Snelling’s stacking method first creates an exalted “big picture” with a myriad of colors\, image\, text\, sound and light. The counterpoint in scale soon immerses the viewer into each small world. With this shift\, the onlooker becomes the active participant\, the occupant in situ\, adding the trappings of their own experiences to each tableau. It is this shift that forces the viewer into a new way of seeing from varying perspectives.\n\nOn the one hand\, the artist’s sculptures allude to our desire for refuge\, a private domain that allows us to be ourselves. On the other\, the overall composition reaffirms it is imperative that we co-exist with one another respectfully\, forge relationships\, understanding our marked differences. It is diversity—the unique and often disparate combination of things\, the cacophony of it all\, that activates communities and public space.\n\nSnelling’s constructions literally build a way out\, one on top of another\, charged with the undercurrent of the way we live. They emphasize our universal longing to find a place called home\, and be accepted\, built on the foundation of one and of many. \n–Amanda Krugliak\, Arts Curator\, Institute for the Humanities\n\nAbout Tracey Snelling:\nThrough the use of sculpture\, photography\, video\, and large-scale installation\, Tracey Snelling gives her impression of a place\, its people and their experience. Often\, the cinematic image stands in for real life as it plays out behind windows in the buildings\, sometimes creating a sense of mystery\, other times stressing the mundane. Snelling’s work derives from voyeurism\, film noir\, and geographical and architectural location. Within this idea of location\, themes develop that transport observation into the realm of storytelling\, with reality and sociological study being the focus. Snelling had exhibited in international galleries\, museums and institutions\, including the The Royal Museum of Fine Arts\, Belgium\; Palazzo Reale\, Milan\; Museum of Arts and Design\, New York\; Kunstmuseen Krefeld Germany\; El Museo de Arte de Banco de la Republica\, Bogota\; the Stenersen Museet\, Oslo\, and the Sundance Film Festival. Her short films have screened at the San Francisco International Film Festival\, the Thessaloniki International Film Festival\, Circuito Off in Venice\, Italy\, and the Arquiteturas Film Festival Lisboa in Portugal. She also received a 2015 Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors Grant. Snelling lives and works in Oakland\, California and Berlin\, Germany.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012449@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170214T121614 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170327T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170327T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chicana Fotos: Nancy De Los Santos DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: Friday\, February 17 - April 14\, 2017\nOpening Reception: Friday\, February 17\, 2017 from 4 - 7 pm\, featuring a performance by Ballet Folklórico De Detroit at 6 pm.\nGallery Talk by Nancy De Los Santos and exhibition curator Maria Cotera: Friday\, February 17\, 2017 at 12 pm\, Walter P. Reuther Library Woodcock Conference Room\nWalter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University\n5401 Cass Ave\, Detroit\, MI 48202\n\nBorn and raised in Chicago by Mexican-American parents\, Nancy De Los Santos is an accomplished filmmaker and proud “Chicana from Chicago” who has dedicated her life and career to rewriting and redefining the image of Latina/os in the mainstream media. Among her most celebrated works are as Co-Writer and Co-Producer of The Bronze Screen: 100 Years of the Latin Image in Hollywood Cinema\, with Susan Racho and Alberto Dominguez\, and as Associate Producer on the feature film Selena.\n\nIn Chicana Fotos\, an exhibit of evocative photographs taken in the 1970s\, we meet a very different Nancy: a woman armed with a camera\, capturing historic events in the struggles for social justice of the time. Nancy’s photographs of Chicano Movement marches and rallies\, farmworker mobilizations in Chicago and Texas\, and Latina organizing in the Midwest and internationally offer a priceless documentary view of Latina/o politics in the 1970s. Her more intimate pictures of everyday Latina/o life capture what it was like to live through a period of radical social transformation. The exhibit includes rare photographs of UFW organizing activities in Chicago\, the Texas Farmworker Pilgrimage of 1977\, and the first ever International Women’s Year Conference in Mexico City in 1975. These images are supplemented by never before exhibited documents from the Walter P. Reuther UFW Collection.\n\nChicana Fotos was curated by University of Michigan professor Maria Cotera (with assistance from Pau Nava) and designed by students and faculty of the UM Stamps School of Art & Design. Stamps School faculty Hannah Smotrich and Katie Rubin co-taught the collaborative\, interdisciplinary Exhibition Design class with students Ian Crowley\, Rachel Dawson\, Emilie Farrugia\, Kelsi Franzino\, Andrew Han\, Jack Hyland\, Maggie Lemak\, Megan Lewin-Smith\, Katie Mongoven\, Olivia Moore\, Pau Nava\, and Sarah Wolf.\n\nChicana Fotos is a collaboration between the El Museo del Norte\, the Chicana por mi Raza Digital Archive\, the Stamps School of Art & Design and the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University.\n\nThe Walter P. Reuther Library of Labor and Urban Affairs at Wayne State University is the largest labor archive in North America. In addition to internationally significant collections on the history of the North American labor movement\, the Reuther Library holds the official records of Wayne State University\, as well as extensive records documenting urban affairs\, civic life\, civil rights\, ethnic and religious organizations\, and community development across Southeast Michigan.\n\nChicana Fotos was made possible through the generous financial support of the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative and the Stamps School of Art & Design.

The sessions are 30 minutes long\, flexible\, and free.\n\nThe sessions are led by a group of students and staff who have received training to lead the 30 minute sessions. They also have personal practices.The meditations are guided (which means there will be speaking throughout the meditation) and they ​last ​for 25 minutes. We typically sit in chairs. We often end the practice with a short metta or gratitude meditation. At the very end of the session\, we'll spend a few minutes talking about issues that may have arisen in your meditation\, recent research\, or ways to practice outside of the session.

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.

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.

They were part of what historians characterize as a watershed in African American History-the Great Migration. From 1910 to 1930\, hundreds of thousands of Blacks headed North\, leaving the South because of economic hardship\, poor educational opportunities\, and enticed by the lure of better jobs in northern industries and more freedom. Cites in the industrial Northeast and Midwest experienced astounding increases in their Black populations\, but few more so that Detroit\, its institutions and its cultures\, took shape and developed. The problems encountered by the migrants in the form of discrimination and racial animosity were problems with which the city would grapple throughout the decades to follow.\n\nThis exhibit focused on the two major concerns of the migrants\, housing and jobs\, and on the attempts made by various organizations in adjusting to life in Detroit. It is primarily compiled from the holding s of the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library\, particularly the rich collection of the Detroit Urban League. It is also drawn from the Collections of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of Labor History and Urban Affairs (Wayne State University)\, the Collections of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village\, the Detroit News\, and tge Second Baptist Church of Detroit\, Michigan. The exhibit was prepared by Christine Weideman and Karen Jania\, staff members of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n*From the poem\, “Northboun’” by Lucy Ariel Williams\, printed in Opportunity “: a Journal of Negro Life\, June 1926. The journal was a publication of the National Urban League.

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.

This two-part exhibition (Part I: Figuration followed by Part II: Abstraction on view July 1– October 29) presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. The works themselves are equally diverse\, ranging from ancient sculptures to contemporary multimedia works. Part I: Figuration features works by Henri Matisse\, Elizabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun\, Mark Tansey\, and Mickalene Thomas\, among others\, and allows visitors to explore the variety of artistic responses and purposes encompassed by the term “figuration”. It also offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\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.

What are we? Where are we going?\n\nMonday March 27\, 2017\, from 12:00 - 1:00 pm\nEast Room Pierpont Commons\, North Campus\n\nThis talk explores contemporary practice\, research and collaboration of artistic approaches in fields of Art and Biology. Marta de Menezes will discuss her methodology and meaning to generation to making artworks\, a critical making through critical thinking. To situate the inquiry\, she will draw upon her work\, “Nature?”\, “Proteic Portrait”\, “Immortality for Two” and hint at current research projects featured in future workshops including “The Origin of Species” and “Truly Natural”. She will question our biological commonalities and challenge our conception of identity individually\, as a species and as organisms while asking how the artistic manipulation of life shifts our sense of identity to give rise to new forms of (un)indentities.\n\nMarta de Menezes is a Portuguese artist (b. Lisbon\, 1975) with a degree in Fine Arts by the University in Lisbon\, a MSt in History of Art and Visual Culture by the University of Oxford\, and a PhD candidate at the University of Leiden. She has been exploring the intersection between Art and Biology\, working in research laboratories demonstrating that new biological technologies can be used as new art medium. In 1999 de Menezes created her first biological artwork (Nature?) by modifying the wing patterns of live butterflies. Since then\, she has used diverse biological techniques including functional MRI of the brain to create portraits where the mind can be visualised (Functional Portraits\, 2002)\; fluorescent DNA probes to create micro-sculptures in human cell nuclei (nucleArt\, 2002)\; sculptures made of proteins (Proteic Portrait\, 2002-2007)\, DNA (Innercloud\, 2003\; The Family\, 2004) or incorporating live neurons (Tree of Knowledge\, 2005) or bacteria (Decon\, 2007). Her work has been presented internationally in exhibitions\, articles and lectures. She is currently the artistic director of Ectopia\, an experimental art laboratory in Lisbon\, and Director of Cultivamos Cultura in the South of Portugal.

This evidence is compared with (i) a standard (control) treatment in which money is perfectly divisible and Dictators allocate shares of the prize across the group members and also with (ii) a “hybrid” protocol by which a fraction of the prize is allocated deterministically\, and the remainder by way of a lottery. Dictators’ decisions are framed within a (suitably modified version of) Karni and Safra (2002a)’s model of distributional justice. This allows us to identify consequentialist vs. procedural fairness\, also controlling for (own-payoff) risk aversion. Our evidence suggests that\, among those not exhibiting a completely selfish behavior\, both views of fairness are complementary in explaining subjects’ distributional decisions.

It is conjectured that this integrable hierarchy is just the one that governs the generating function of all Hodge integrals. The generating function of special cubic Hodge integrals is much more important than the other cases\, since it is related to the localization computation of Gromov-Witten invariants for a toric Calabi-Yau threefold. We formulate a conjecture on the integrable hierarchy that governs it.

Muslim Graves in Southeast Michigan DESCRIPTION:Professor Ron Stockton has spent nearly a decade studying Muslim graves in Southeast Michigan\, taking more than a thousand photographs of gravestones. Muslims have been in Southeast Michigan for well over a century. They are buried in at least 20 different locations. Burial styles vary\, suggesting a mosaic of diverse ethnic and religious sub-communities. They include individuals from at least 26 different countries\, former countries\, or special ethnic or religious groups. Many of these have their own ways of expressing their final sentiments. Some stones emphasize faith in God. Others emphasize national or ethnic heritage\, hobbies\, clubs\, affiliations\, happy marriages\, or proud military service. \n\nThese stones show the exceptional diversity of cultures\, religious traditions\, national styles\, and personal expression. A gravestone is not about death. It is about life. It is about what you valued\, what was important to you\, and how you want to be remembered. This lecture will shed light on what it means to be Muslim in America. \n \nAn exhibit including 39 photographs of gravestones which demonstrate the incredible diversity of this complex population will be on display in the International Institute Gallery (1080 S. University) through April 5\, 2017.

We say E\,A are p-Selmer near-companion curves over K if the difference between p-Selmer ranks of E^\chi and A^\chi is bounded by some constant C(E\,K) independent of the choice of \chi. Mazur and Rubin conjectured that if E and A are p-Selmer near companion over K\, then there exists a G_K module isomorphism between E[p] and A[p]. In this talk\, I will prove the conjecture holds for p=2.

Examining representations of Jerusalem in the medieval narratives of the English\, French\, Latin\, Arabic\, and Armenian literary traditions\, this talk exposes the intersections between Western Europe and a number of ethno-religious cultures of the “east\,” arguing for shared modes of representing the loss of the city of Jerusalem in their narratives\, and exposing the extensive cross-cultural exchange and acculturation of various cultures in the medieval Mediterranean world.

Capturing Ethnic Diversity in Photography of the 1920s and 1930s DESCRIPTION:Monday\, March 27\, 5:30-7 pm\, MLB 3308\n\nAnja Burghardt\, Assistant Professor of Slavic Studies\, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität\, Munich\n\n\"One Soviet Nation? Capturing Ethnic Diversity in Photography of the 1920s and 1930s\"\n\nIn the early Soviet Union photography played a prominent role in shaping the new society. In the 1920s this new medium was supposed to allow everyone who was part of the Socialist project to participate in photographic expression\, either as a photographer or as a subject. Photography captured daily life experience of different people was and made it known to people in distant regions. But how much room was there for self-portrayal of those who were not in the (European) centres of the USSR? By examining photographs of non-Russian ethnic groups\, mainly in Central Asia\, this presentation discusses choices of motifs and artistic devices\, value attributions and ideological implications in shaping the Soviet Nation in photography.\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.

Each colorful slice or cupcake invites sampling while her mirror cakes are intriguing brain teasers. Kelman began her love affair with glass in 1970. While studying chemistry in college\, she watched\, fascinated\, as the glassblower in her department created scientific equipment\, inspiring her to later teach herself lampworking (glass worked over a torch) and open a hot glass studio. Kelman bakes with glass at her home studio in Ann Arbor.

The tale that emerges demonstrates the power of music and poetry to spark the social imagination and thus create a sense of shared community.\n\nInspired by the successful defense of Baltimore\, Maryland from British attack in September 1814\, lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned his now famous lyric. Rather than extraordinary\, Key’s creative impulse was typical of early America’s broadside ballad tradition in which new words were written to fit well known tunes. The result\, however\, was far from everyday—Key could not have predicted that his song would survive the moment\, yet become his nation’s singular anthem.\n\nFollow the “The Star-Spangled Banner” from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day and explore the social history of our national song.\nMarch 2017 to September 2017 \n\nMonday - Friday. 8:45 am - 4:45 pm\nClosed all Federal holidays.

Discarded shoes\, tarps and handmade signs that mark the post-industrial landscape become part roadside memorial and part doomsday prophecy. These temporary sculptures - set against the backdrop of environmental decline - evoke a cautionary tale of hazmat crews and oil soaked shorelines. \n\nIf there is a place for both apathy and active resistance in the way forward to a better future\, Another Country carries the tension that’s in-between. Inspired by the visual resistance of liberation parties\, past and present\, it urges us to remember why we fight.\n\nShanna Merola is an artist\, activist\, and documentary photographer. Working for civil rights attorneys\, she photographs first amendment activity at protests and facilitates workshops on best practices during police encounters. Over the past five years she has been a human rights observer for social justice movements across the country - from the deeply embattled struggle over water rights in Detroit and Flint\, Michigan - to the frontlines of uprisings in Ferguson\, MO and Standing Rock\, ND. Her collages and constructed landscapes are informed by these rallies - from direct actions against fracking companies to the privatization of water both globally and locally. She is currently working on a collaborative production of Know Your Rights Theatre\, inspired by the politically radical puppet troupes of the 1960’s.\n\nMerola received an MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Photo and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University. She lives and works in Detroit\, Michigan.

Instead\, she taps into the energy of community and its humanness—restless\, frenetic\, din\, a choir\, extending beyond the confines of walls. \n\nSnelling’s representations are neither judgmental nor opportunistic. They unaffectedly and objectively offer a multidimensional sketch of a place in time\, how we occupy space. \n\nHer signature piece \"One Thousand Shacks\" (included in this exhibition along with new work created during her her residency here) pushes up against the challenges of economic inequalities\, racial biases\, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people. Concurrently\, the installation embraces our everyday existence expressed through Snelling’s exuberant palette\, bold graphics\, video and neon. \n\nConceptually\, Snelling’s stacking method first creates an exalted “big picture” with a myriad of colors\, image\, text\, sound and light. The counterpoint in scale soon immerses the viewer into each small world. With this shift\, the onlooker becomes the active participant\, the occupant in situ\, adding the trappings of their own experiences to each tableau. It is this shift that forces the viewer into a new way of seeing from varying perspectives.\n\nOn the one hand\, the artist’s sculptures allude to our desire for refuge\, a private domain that allows us to be ourselves. On the other\, the overall composition reaffirms it is imperative that we co-exist with one another respectfully\, forge relationships\, understanding our marked differences. It is diversity—the unique and often disparate combination of things\, the cacophony of it all\, that activates communities and public space.\n\nSnelling’s constructions literally build a way out\, one on top of another\, charged with the undercurrent of the way we live. They emphasize our universal longing to find a place called home\, and be accepted\, built on the foundation of one and of many. \n–Amanda Krugliak\, Arts Curator\, Institute for the Humanities\n\nAbout Tracey Snelling:\nThrough the use of sculpture\, photography\, video\, and large-scale installation\, Tracey Snelling gives her impression of a place\, its people and their experience. Often\, the cinematic image stands in for real life as it plays out behind windows in the buildings\, sometimes creating a sense of mystery\, other times stressing the mundane. Snelling’s work derives from voyeurism\, film noir\, and geographical and architectural location. Within this idea of location\, themes develop that transport observation into the realm of storytelling\, with reality and sociological study being the focus. Snelling had exhibited in international galleries\, museums and institutions\, including the The Royal Museum of Fine Arts\, Belgium\; Palazzo Reale\, Milan\; Museum of Arts and Design\, New York\; Kunstmuseen Krefeld Germany\; El Museo de Arte de Banco de la Republica\, Bogota\; the Stenersen Museet\, Oslo\, and the Sundance Film Festival. Her short films have screened at the San Francisco International Film Festival\, the Thessaloniki International Film Festival\, Circuito Off in Venice\, Italy\, and the Arquiteturas Film Festival Lisboa in Portugal. She also received a 2015 Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors Grant. Snelling lives and works in Oakland\, California and Berlin\, Germany.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012450@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170315T155438 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T100000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Thesis defense: Quantifying and understanding intragenic and intergenic epistasis in yeast DESCRIPTION:EEB graduate student Chuan Li defends her thesis.

Reuther Library Woodcock Conference Room\nWalter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University\n5401 Cass Ave\, Detroit\, MI 48202\n\nBorn and raised in Chicago by Mexican-American parents\, Nancy De Los Santos is an accomplished filmmaker and proud “Chicana from Chicago” who has dedicated her life and career to rewriting and redefining the image of Latina/os in the mainstream media. Among her most celebrated works are as Co-Writer and Co-Producer of The Bronze Screen: 100 Years of the Latin Image in Hollywood Cinema\, with Susan Racho and Alberto Dominguez\, and as Associate Producer on the feature film Selena.\n\nIn Chicana Fotos\, an exhibit of evocative photographs taken in the 1970s\, we meet a very different Nancy: a woman armed with a camera\, capturing historic events in the struggles for social justice of the time. Nancy’s photographs of Chicano Movement marches and rallies\, farmworker mobilizations in Chicago and Texas\, and Latina organizing in the Midwest and internationally offer a priceless documentary view of Latina/o politics in the 1970s. Her more intimate pictures of everyday Latina/o life capture what it was like to live through a period of radical social transformation. The exhibit includes rare photographs of UFW organizing activities in Chicago\, the Texas Farmworker Pilgrimage of 1977\, and the first ever International Women’s Year Conference in Mexico City in 1975. These images are supplemented by never before exhibited documents from the Walter P. Reuther UFW Collection.\n\nChicana Fotos was curated by University of Michigan professor Maria Cotera (with assistance from Pau Nava) and designed by students and faculty of the UM Stamps School of Art & Design. Stamps School faculty Hannah Smotrich and Katie Rubin co-taught the collaborative\, interdisciplinary Exhibition Design class with students Ian Crowley\, Rachel Dawson\, Emilie Farrugia\, Kelsi Franzino\, Andrew Han\, Jack Hyland\, Maggie Lemak\, Megan Lewin-Smith\, Katie Mongoven\, Olivia Moore\, Pau Nava\, and Sarah Wolf.\n\nChicana Fotos is a collaboration between the El Museo del Norte\, the Chicana por mi Raza Digital Archive\, the Stamps School of Art & Design and the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University.\n\nThe Walter P. Reuther Library of Labor and Urban Affairs at Wayne State University is the largest labor archive in North America. In addition to internationally significant collections on the history of the North American labor movement\, the Reuther Library holds the official records of Wayne State University\, as well as extensive records documenting urban affairs\, civic life\, civil rights\, ethnic and religious organizations\, and community development across Southeast Michigan.\n\nChicana Fotos was made possible through the generous financial support of the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative and the Stamps School of Art & Design. Gallery talk sponsored by the Center for Latina/o and Latin American Studies\, Wayne State University\, and the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative.

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.

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.

They were part of what historians characterize as a watershed in African American History-the Great Migration. From 1910 to 1930\, hundreds of thousands of Blacks headed North\, leaving the South because of economic hardship\, poor educational opportunities\, and enticed by the lure of better jobs in northern industries and more freedom. Cites in the industrial Northeast and Midwest experienced astounding increases in their Black populations\, but few more so that Detroit\, its institutions and its cultures\, took shape and developed. The problems encountered by the migrants in the form of discrimination and racial animosity were problems with which the city would grapple throughout the decades to follow.\n\nThis exhibit focused on the two major concerns of the migrants\, housing and jobs\, and on the attempts made by various organizations in adjusting to life in Detroit. It is primarily compiled from the holding s of the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library\, particularly the rich collection of the Detroit Urban League. It is also drawn from the Collections of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of Labor History and Urban Affairs (Wayne State University)\, the Collections of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village\, the Detroit News\, and tge Second Baptist Church of Detroit\, Michigan. The exhibit was prepared by Christine Weideman and Karen Jania\, staff members of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n*From the poem\, “Northboun’” by Lucy Ariel Williams\, printed in Opportunity “: a Journal of Negro Life\, June 1926. The journal was a publication of the National Urban League.

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.

This two-part exhibition (Part I: Figuration followed by Part II: Abstraction on view July 1– October 29) presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. The works themselves are equally diverse\, ranging from ancient sculptures to contemporary multimedia works. Part I: Figuration features works by Henri Matisse\, Elizabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun\, Mark Tansey\, and Mickalene Thomas\, among others\, and allows visitors to explore the variety of artistic responses and purposes encompassed by the term “figuration”. It also offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\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.

His talk will provide a brief overview of the data and methodological resources that are available to IHPI members\, focusing on several large\, national claims databases as well as support for quantitative and mixed methods through consultations with expert faculty.\n\nLauren Schmitz's Abstract\n\nThis study exploits administrative earnings records matched to detailed genetic and sociodemographic data in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) to estimate whether the educational environment\, as captured by state-level differences in average years of schooling\, modify the associations between genetic propensity for educational attainment and individual schooling\, and genetic propensity for educational attainment and lifetime earnings. To capture the complex genetic architecture that underlies the bio-developmental pathways\, behavioral traits\, and evoked environments associated with educational attainment\, we calculate polygenic scores (PGSs) for respondents in the HRS derived from a recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) for years of schooling. We find evidence that both individual genetic endowment and the state-level educational environment contribute to individual schooling and lifetime earnings\, with limited evidence for any interaction between them. The exception is completion of a secondary degree\, where we find that individuals educated in states with higher average educational attainment during their primary schooling years were more likely to obtain a GED or high school degree—regardless of genotype—whereas individuals raised in states with below average educational attainment were approximately 7 to 24 percent less likely to obtain a secondary degree than individuals with similar PGSs in higher achieving states.

We ask whether this feature can justify the use of dominant-strategy mechanisms\, when a social planner cares about welfare and explicitly takes these effort costs into account. We adopt a simple bilateral trade model as a case study. We consider a broad class of information games\, in which the trading parties can\ntake some (possibly costly) actions\, and receive some information about each other. Any trading mechanism is evaluated by the level of welfare\, net of information costs\, that it guarantees in the worst case across all information games. For some parameter values\, a dominant-strategy mechanism is indeed optimal\; for others\, the optimum is a non-dominant-strategy mechanism\, in which one party chooses which of two prices to offer.

Particular emphasis will be placed on two research projects. One will focus on our discoveries of tandem catalytic carbonylation reactions for the total syntheses of macrolides and spirocyclic natural products. In these syntheses\, cheap and abundant carbon monoxide was used as a one-carbon linchpin to stitch relatively simple starting materials into complex structures\, which significantly increased synthetic efficiency. The other one will focus on our recent synthesis of polycyclic diterpene molecules via tandem gold catalysis. Preliminary biological evaluations of some of our target molecules will be discussed as well. \nMingji Dai (Purdue University) UID:39598-8149163@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/39598 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170320T162557 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Citizen Interaction Design Speaker Series: Build With\, Not For DESCRIPTION:The Citizen Interaction Design program sponsors an appearance by Laurenellen McCann\, a social practice artist and internationally recognized expert in civic engagement and community technology.\n\nLaurenellen McCann will discuss their work in addressing the need to invest more in the “civic” in civic tech — prioritizing community leadership and stewardship in the lifecycle of public interest technology.

Antihydrogen\, the bound state of an antiproton and a positron\, is made entirely of antiparticles and is believed to be stable. It is this longevity that holds the promise of precision studies of matter-antimatter symmetry. Low energy (Kelvin scale) antihydrogen has been produced at CERN since 2002. I will give an overview of the experiment (ALPHA) which has recently succeeded in trapping antihydrogen in a cryogenic Penning trap for times up to approximately 15 minutes. We have also been able to flip the spin inside of the atom using microwaves\, performing the first measurement of resonant transitions within an antimatter atom. Most recently\, we have measured the 1s-2s frequency to one part in 5 billion. I will conclude with prospects for laser cooling antihydrogen and future precision measurements.

Many who work in science\, medicine and engineering may find themselves pondering whether and how to enter the fray. \n\nA lecture by Gilbert S. Omenn\, MD\, PhD\, on Tuesday\, March 28 may provide some inspiration. Omenn has spent decades straddling the worlds of science\, medicine and policy -- from the Nixon\, Carter\, and Clinton presidential administrations to the leadership of the university’s academic medical center\, the nation’s largest general scientific society\, and now the global Human Proteome Project. \n\nIn his Distinguished University Professorship lecture\, he will share reflections on these experiences\, and the mentors who guided him through the early stages of his career. He’ll also speak about his work over the last 15 years leading the HPP. \n\nTitled “Proteins\, Policy\, and Paths Less Travel'd: My Career as a Physician-Scientist\"\, the talk will begin at 4 p.m. in the Amphitheatre on the second floor of the Rackham Building. A reception will follow.\n\nIts title evokes a line from the Robert Frost poem “The Road Not Taken.” Frost was poet-in-residence at the U-M in the early 1920s.\n\nA medical geneticist\, cancer prevention clinical trialist\, and former Howard Hughes Investigator\, Omenn now holds the Harold T. Shapiro Distinguished University Professorship\, with appointments in the Medical School’s Departments of Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics\, Internal Medicine\, and Human Genetics\, as well as in the School of Public Health. He leads the university-wide Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics\, with 110 faculty affiliates. \n\nHis work on proteins has evolved from deep study of individual proteins and protein models to mapping the full complement of proteins in a rigorous way. The HPP aims to lay a molecular and biological foundation for improving health through better understanding of disease processes\, more accurate diagnoses\, and targets for more effective therapies and preventive interventions.\n\nOmenn came to Michigan in 1997 as the first Executive Vice President for Medical Affairs and CEO of what was soon christened the U-M Health System\, after leading the University of Washington School of Public Health & Community Medicine as dean. He mounted major initiatives in faculty recruitment\, community engagement\, and synergies across the missions. The Omenn Atrium in the Taubman Biomedical Sciences Research Building recognizes his accomplishments. \n\nAfter stepping down from his U-M executive role in 2002\, he focused on proteomics and bioinformatics\, part of what’s now known as the “big data” movement in medical research. He served as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, and on the Scientific Management Review Board for the National Institutes of Health. He is currently a member of the Council of the National Academy of Medicine. In 2014 he received the David Rogers Award from the Association of American Medical Schools for his contribution to healthcare in America.\n\nHis entry into the policy world as a junior faculty member was through the White House Fellows Program. Assigned to the Atomic Energy Commission\, he worked on international nuclear policy during a critical early-1970s period. \n\nHe returned to his biochemical genetic research on the brain and started a Health Policy program for young physicians at the University of Washington. \n\nDuring the Carter years he served as associate director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and then the Office of Management and Budget. In the 1990s he chaired a Presidential/Congressional commission on Risk Assessment & Risk Management which had broad influence. \n\n“I have often pursued what Robert Frost called “the path less travel’d”\,” says Omenn. Through his lecture\, he says\, “I hope to stimulate some in the audience to make proteomics and bioinformatics important new elements of their research and others to explore roles enhancing our nation’s policies and programs.” UID:39826-8388478@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/39826 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Medicine,Politics,Public Policy,Research,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Rackham Amphitheatre (Second floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161103T123657 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T161000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Leibele’s Sermon: The Jewish Colonization Association and the Politics of Jewish Philanthropy\" DESCRIPTION:In the 1890s\, the Jewish banker\, railroad entrepreneur\, and philanthropist\, Baron Maurice de Hirsch\, embarked on a grand project to relocate large numbers of Russian Jews in agricultural colonies in Argentina. When Theodor Herzl wrote in 1896\, the year of Hirsch’s death\, that he envisioned the establishment of a Jewish national home in either Argentina or Palestine\, many of his contemporaries would likely have considered the South American country to be the more plausible option. Much has changed\, however\, since one of Hirsch’s early colonists\, a Russian Jew by the name of Leibele\, celebrated Argentina as the new Zion in a sermon full of messianic imagery. Today Herzl is hailed as the visionary whose ideas laid the foundations of a Jewish nation state established in Palestine\, whereas Hirsch’s legacy is largely forgotten. How do we assess the impact of Baron Hirsch and his philanthropic oeuvre? How do we account for its eventual failure? And what does the history of this failure tell us about the Jewish world of the late nineteenth century\, and about the importance of studying failure in understanding the modern quest to solve the Jewish predicament?\n \n \nMatthias Lehmann is Professor of History and the Teller Chair in Jewish History at the University of California\, Irvine. After studies in Berlin\, Jerusalem\, and Madrid\, he earned his Ph.D. in 2002. He is the author\, most recently\, of Emissaries from the Holy Land (Stanford\, 2014)\, as well as Ladino Rabbinic Literature and Ottoman Sephardic Culture (Bloomington\, 2005) and co-author\, with John Efron and Steven Weitzman\, of the widely used textbook The Jews: A History (second edition\, 2014).\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

The film documents a philosophical shift that seeks to reframe public higher education as a ‘value proposition’ to be borne by the beneficiary of a college degree rather than as a ‘public good’ for society. Financial winners and losers emerge in a struggle poised to profoundly change public higher education. The film focuses on dramas playing out at the University of Wisconsin\, University of Virginia\, University of North Carolina\, Louisiana State University\, University of Texas and Texas A&M.

Maestro Yoon started his career as a conductor in 1970 when he conducted the World Vision Children’s Choir. Through several choirs such as Daewoo Choir\, Seoul Ladies’ Singers and Incheon City Chorale\, Maestro Yoon has been closing the gap between Korean and global choral music\, spreading the greatness of Korean choral music not limited to Asia but throughout the whole world. While Maestro Yoon tried to expand the influence of Korean music out to the world\, he also nurtured the inward culture of Korean choral music by discovering many new young Korean composers and producing creative music pieces to “Koreanize” the choral music. \n \nConductor Yoon is also a pioneer who takes on new challenges. He was the second Asian conductor to be invited to lead the World Youth Choir presented by the International Federation for Choral Music in July to August 2008\, and shocked the world by performing at the American Choral Directors Association Convention in March 2009 with Incheon City Chorale. The Chorale was invited at Saint-Lo-France in October 2010\, enabling the world to recognize the greatness of Korean choral music once again. \n \nJust like the two sides of a coin\, Conductor Yoon’s music shows both breathtaking tension and a Korean sense of humor. His sense of music guides choirs to perform various chords sensitively and the music itself so delicatly. Rather than seeking for a perfect music performance\, Maestro Yoon prefers to emphasize communicating with the audience\, being one of the front-runners of visual choral performance and a role model for Korean choral music. \n \nConductor Yoon has been the Chairman of the Board for Korean Federation for Choral Music\, President of KCMA\, permanent conductor of Daewoo Choir\, Director of IFCM\, Dean of College of Music in Chung-Ang University\, conductor of Young-Nak Church Zion Choir\, Art Director and Main Director of World Vision Children’s Choir. Now he is the honorary professor of Chung-Ang University\, conductor of Seoul Ja-Yang Church’s Zion Choir\, Art Director of Seoul Ladies’ Singers\, conductor and Art Director of Far East Broadcasting Company Yoon Hak Won Chorale\, Director of Korean Choral Conductors’ Academy\, Judge for World Choir Games\, and the conductor and Art Director of Incheon City Chorale. \n \nAdapted from Seoul Chorus Center UID:39194-7783004@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/39194 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia LOCATION:Museum of Art - Apse, University of Michigan Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20161201T100400 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T220000 SUMMARY:Other:RC Senior Dinner DESCRIPTION:RC graduating seniors are celebrated at a dinner with RC faculty and staff UID:36402-5607165@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/36402 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Food LOCATION:Michigan League - Hussey Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170206T095745 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170328T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Smart $ Budget Workshop DESCRIPTION:Come join us for a workshop run by Financial Aid on how to manage your money!

To identify these effects\, we exploit a discontinuity in grant generosity as a function of family income. While eligibility for additional grant aid has small contemporaneous effects on attainment\, it significantly increases four-\, five-\, and six-year graduation rates. Corresponding to the increases in degree receipt\, eligibility also generates persistent earnings gains beginning four years after entry. We project that within ten years\, the additional federal income tax revenue generated from eligible students' earnings gains would be sufficient for the government to fully recoup the cost of the additional grant aid expenditures. We develop a theoretical model and a novel empirical test for treatment effects on subgroups defined by their endogenous responses to treatment that can be used in instrumental variables applications with monotonicity in the second stage. Our test rejects the traditional credit constraints model. Our theoretical framework also produces sufficient statistics for assessing the welfare implications of changes in grant generosity. While increases in grant generosity would be welfare improving in the setting we examine\, our framework can be applied in other settings where welfare implications are less clear-cut.

The tale that emerges demonstrates the power of music and poetry to spark the social imagination and thus create a sense of shared community.\n\nInspired by the successful defense of Baltimore\, Maryland from British attack in September 1814\, lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned his now famous lyric. Rather than extraordinary\, Key’s creative impulse was typical of early America’s broadside ballad tradition in which new words were written to fit well known tunes. The result\, however\, was far from everyday—Key could not have predicted that his song would survive the moment\, yet become his nation’s singular anthem.\n\nFollow the “The Star-Spangled Banner” from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day and explore the social history of our national song.\nMarch 2017 to September 2017 \n\nMonday - Friday. 8:45 am - 4:45 pm\nClosed all Federal holidays.

Discarded shoes\, tarps and handmade signs that mark the post-industrial landscape become part roadside memorial and part doomsday prophecy. These temporary sculptures - set against the backdrop of environmental decline - evoke a cautionary tale of hazmat crews and oil soaked shorelines. \n\nIf there is a place for both apathy and active resistance in the way forward to a better future\, Another Country carries the tension that’s in-between. Inspired by the visual resistance of liberation parties\, past and present\, it urges us to remember why we fight.\n\nShanna Merola is an artist\, activist\, and documentary photographer. Working for civil rights attorneys\, she photographs first amendment activity at protests and facilitates workshops on best practices during police encounters. Over the past five years she has been a human rights observer for social justice movements across the country - from the deeply embattled struggle over water rights in Detroit and Flint\, Michigan - to the frontlines of uprisings in Ferguson\, MO and Standing Rock\, ND. Her collages and constructed landscapes are informed by these rallies - from direct actions against fracking companies to the privatization of water both globally and locally.

Instead\, she taps into the energy of community and its humanness—restless\, frenetic\, din\, a choir\, extending beyond the confines of walls. \n\nSnelling’s representations are neither judgmental nor opportunistic. They unaffectedly and objectively offer a multidimensional sketch of a place in time\, how we occupy space. \n\nHer signature piece \"One Thousand Shacks\" (included in this exhibition along with new work created during her her residency here) pushes up against the challenges of economic inequalities\, racial biases\, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people. Concurrently\, the installation embraces our everyday existence expressed through Snelling’s exuberant palette\, bold graphics\, video and neon. \n\nConceptually\, Snelling’s stacking method first creates an exalted “big picture” with a myriad of colors\, image\, text\, sound and light. The counterpoint in scale soon immerses the viewer into each small world. With this shift\, the onlooker becomes the active participant\, the occupant in situ\, adding the trappings of their own experiences to each tableau. It is this shift that forces the viewer into a new way of seeing from varying perspectives.\n\nOn the one hand\, the artist’s sculptures allude to our desire for refuge\, a private domain that allows us to be ourselves. On the other\, the overall composition reaffirms it is imperative that we co-exist with one another respectfully\, forge relationships\, understanding our marked differences. It is diversity—the unique and often disparate combination of things\, the cacophony of it all\, that activates communities and public space.\n\nSnelling’s constructions literally build a way out\, one on top of another\, charged with the undercurrent of the way we live. They emphasize our universal longing to find a place called home\, and be accepted\, built on the foundation of one and of many. \n–Amanda Krugliak\, Arts Curator\, Institute for the Humanities\n\nAbout Tracey Snelling:\nThrough the use of sculpture\, photography\, video\, and large-scale installation\, Tracey Snelling gives her impression of a place\, its people and their experience. Often\, the cinematic image stands in for real life as it plays out behind windows in the buildings\, sometimes creating a sense of mystery\, other times stressing the mundane. Snelling’s work derives from voyeurism\, film noir\, and geographical and architectural location. Within this idea of location\, themes develop that transport observation into the realm of storytelling\, with reality and sociological study being the focus. Snelling had exhibited in international galleries\, museums and institutions\, including the The Royal Museum of Fine Arts\, Belgium\; Palazzo Reale\, Milan\; Museum of Arts and Design\, New York\; Kunstmuseen Krefeld Germany\; El Museo de Arte de Banco de la Republica\, Bogota\; the Stenersen Museet\, Oslo\, and the Sundance Film Festival. Her short films have screened at the San Francisco International Film Festival\, the Thessaloniki International Film Festival\, Circuito Off in Venice\, Italy\, and the Arquiteturas Film Festival Lisboa in Portugal. She also received a 2015 Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors Grant. Snelling lives and works in Oakland\, California and Berlin\, Germany.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012451@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170109T153238 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170329T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170329T110000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Glimpses of Spirit in Story DESCRIPTION:Spirituality is the path of knowing ourselves and finding our place in the world.

Reuther Library Woodcock Conference Room\nWalter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University\n5401 Cass Ave\, Detroit\, MI 48202\n\nBorn and raised in Chicago by Mexican-American parents\, Nancy De Los Santos is an accomplished filmmaker and proud “Chicana from Chicago” who has dedicated her life and career to rewriting and redefining the image of Latina/os in the mainstream media. Among her most celebrated works are as Co-Writer and Co-Producer of The Bronze Screen: 100 Years of the Latin Image in Hollywood Cinema\, with Susan Racho and Alberto Dominguez\, and as Associate Producer on the feature film Selena.\n\nIn Chicana Fotos\, an exhibit of evocative photographs taken in the 1970s\, we meet a very different Nancy: a woman armed with a camera\, capturing historic events in the struggles for social justice of the time. Nancy’s photographs of Chicano Movement marches and rallies\, farmworker mobilizations in Chicago and Texas\, and Latina organizing in the Midwest and internationally offer a priceless documentary view of Latina/o politics in the 1970s. Her more intimate pictures of everyday Latina/o life capture what it was like to live through a period of radical social transformation. The exhibit includes rare photographs of UFW organizing activities in Chicago\, the Texas Farmworker Pilgrimage of 1977\, and the first ever International Women’s Year Conference in Mexico City in 1975. These images are supplemented by never before exhibited documents from the Walter P. Reuther UFW Collection.\n\nChicana Fotos was curated by University of Michigan professor Maria Cotera (with assistance from Pau Nava) and designed by students and faculty of the UM Stamps School of Art & Design. Stamps School faculty Hannah Smotrich and Katie Rubin co-taught the collaborative\, interdisciplinary Exhibition Design class with students Ian Crowley\, Rachel Dawson\, Emilie Farrugia\, Kelsi Franzino\, Andrew Han\, Jack Hyland\, Maggie Lemak\, Megan Lewin-Smith\, Katie Mongoven\, Olivia Moore\, Pau Nava\, and Sarah Wolf.\n\nChicana Fotos is a collaboration between the El Museo del Norte\, the Chicana por mi Raza Digital Archive\, the Stamps School of Art & Design and the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University.\n\nThe Walter P. Reuther Library of Labor and Urban Affairs at Wayne State University is the largest labor archive in North America. In addition to internationally significant collections on the history of the North American labor movement\, the Reuther Library holds the official records of Wayne State University\, as well as extensive records documenting urban affairs\, civic life\, civil rights\, ethnic and religious organizations\, and community development across Southeast Michigan.\n\nChicana Fotos was made possible through the generous financial support of the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative and the Stamps School of Art & Design. Gallery talk sponsored by the Center for Latina/o and Latin American Studies\, Wayne State University\, and the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative.

How and why have we sentenced the over 2.2 million adults currently in our prison systems? This class discusses how judges decide criminal sentences and how politicians control those sentencing decisions. We discuss the impact of the \"War on Drugs\"\, the fact that more than half of all federal prisoners are serving sentences for drug offenses and the huge proportion of drug-related offenders in our state prisons. Alternative approaches to drug abuse are discussed. The Hon. Donald E. Shelton directs the Criminology and Criminal Justice Program at UM-Dearborn.

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.

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.

They were part of what historians characterize as a watershed in African American History-the Great Migration. From 1910 to 1930\, hundreds of thousands of Blacks headed North\, leaving the South because of economic hardship\, poor educational opportunities\, and enticed by the lure of better jobs in northern industries and more freedom. Cites in the industrial Northeast and Midwest experienced astounding increases in their Black populations\, but few more so that Detroit\, its institutions and its cultures\, took shape and developed. The problems encountered by the migrants in the form of discrimination and racial animosity were problems with which the city would grapple throughout the decades to follow.\n\nThis exhibit focused on the two major concerns of the migrants\, housing and jobs\, and on the attempts made by various organizations in adjusting to life in Detroit. It is primarily compiled from the holding s of the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library\, particularly the rich collection of the Detroit Urban League. It is also drawn from the Collections of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of Labor History and Urban Affairs (Wayne State University)\, the Collections of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village\, the Detroit News\, and tge Second Baptist Church of Detroit\, Michigan.

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.

This two-part exhibition (Part I: Figuration followed by Part II: Abstraction on view July 1– October 29) presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. The works themselves are equally diverse\, ranging from ancient sculptures to contemporary multimedia works. Part I: Figuration features works by Henri Matisse\, Elizabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun\, Mark Tansey\, and Mickalene Thomas\, among others\, and allows visitors to explore the variety of artistic responses and purposes encompassed by the term “figuration”. It also offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\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.

Among several viable options\, Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are motivated dark matter candidates that can be tested by different and complementary search strategies. Crucially\, different searches probe WIMP couplings at different energy scales\, and such a separation of scales has striking consequences in connecting different experimental probes. This motivates the development of theoretical tools to properly connect the different energy scales involved in constraining WIMP models. I will introduce these tools and I will illustrate with several examples how crucial the inclusion of these effects in WIMP searches is.

Reception and book signing to follow.\n\nJoin the conversation: #policytalks\n\nThis event will be live webstreamed. Check back here just before the event for viewing details.\n\nAbout the book:\n\nEducation\, employment\, and home ownership have long been considered stepping stones to the middle class. But in Abandoned Families\, social policy expert Kristin Seefeldt shows how many working families have access only to a separate but unequal set of poor-quality jobs\, low-performing schools\, and declining housing markets which offer few chances for upward mobility. Through in-depth interviews over a six-year period with women in Detroit\, Seefeldt charts the increasing social isolation of many low-income workers\, particularly African Americans\, and analyzes how economic and residential segregation keep them from achieving the American Dream of upward mobility.\n\n\nAbout the author:\n\nKristin S. Seefeldt's primary research interests lie in exploring how low-income individuals understand their situations\, particularly around issues related to work and economic well-being. She is the author of Working After Welfare (W.E. Upjohn Institute Press)\, which discusses employment advancement and work-family balance challenges as experienced by former welfare recipients. Currently\, she is conducting research on families' financial coping strategies during an economic downturn and is a Principal Investigator of a survey examining the effects of the recession and recovery policies on individuals' well-being. Previously\, Seefeldt was an Assistant Research Scientist at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy and the Assistant Director of the National Poverty Center\, both at the University of Michigan\, and an Assistant Professor at the School of Public and Environment Affairs\, Indiana University. She holds a doctoral degree from the University of Michigan in Sociology and Public Policy.

Recently we carried out a comprehensive simulation study of the phase behavior near the melting transition of all hard regular polygons with 3 ≤ n ≤ 14 vertices using massively parallel Monte Carlo simulations of up to one million particles. By investigating this family of shapes\, we can show that the melting transition depends upon both particle shape and symmetry considerations\, which together can predict which of three different melting scenarios will occur for a given n.

Compared to the benchmark model\, we show that the interaction of these two frictions leads to a powerful mitigation of the effects of monetary policy\, which is much more pronounced at long horizons\, and offers a potential rationalization of the “forward guidance puzzle”. Each of these frictions\, in isolation\, would lead to no or much smaller departures from the benchmark model. We conclude that the interaction of bounded rationality and market frictions improves the ability of the model to account for the effects of monetary policy.

At the level of strategy\, application of such transforms during synthetic planning allows for a rapid clearance of complexity and paves the way for the development of a maximally convergent synthesis. Within this context\, my research group has been actively investigating a number of carbon–carbon bond forming reactions that have the capacity to convert simple starting materials into complex carbocyclic frameworks. In this lecture I will provide several case-studies from my laboratories that highlight the interplay between method development and target-directed synthesis.\nRegan Thomson (Northwestern University) UID:35424-5224375@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/35424 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170629T121831 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170329T160000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Michigan Baseball vs. Central Michigan DESCRIPTION:Michigan Baseball vs. Central Michigan UID:40435-8569409@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/40435 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Baseball LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170321T115436 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170329T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170329T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Tanner Lecture on Human Values: The Personality of Experience and the Universality of Values DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis lecture is divided into three parts. The first part argues that the concepts of humanism have a near universal quality and predate the Enlightenment. They are present in most cultures in indigenous form\, lending credibility to the idea that humanism is a shared value across societies and civilizations. What I mean by humanism is a foregrounding of the intuition for social justice\, equality and freedom\, the core elements of human rights as well as a personal and social emphasis on compassion\, the very basis of humanitarian action.\n \nThe second part sets out how humanism was particularly constructed by the Enlightenment project with its emphasis on laws and state structures and how it developed into modern traditions of human rights and humanitarian law especially within the United Nations system.\n \nThe third part will outline how in the post 9/11 world these traditions are being deeply challenged by intellectual critiques and world events that question the foundation of humanism as a universal value and human rights and humanitarianism as benign tools of the international community. It will also suggest ways to move forward.\n\nhttps://childrenandarmedconflict.un.org/mandate/radhika-coomaraswamy/ UID:31441-4260711@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31441 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Philosophy LOCATION:Michigan League - Ballroom CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170329T181655 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170329T161000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170329T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry DESCRIPTION: I will present refined generating series formulae for characters of cohomology representations of external products of suitable coefficients on complex quasi-projective varieties\, which include many of the classical results in the literature as special cases. Important specializations of these formulae include generating series for symmetric and alternating powers of such coefficients and\, in particular\, generating series for intersection cohomology Hodge numbers and Goresky-MacPherson intersection cohomology signatures of symmetric products of complex projective varieties. The talk should be accessible to anyone with basic knowledge of algebraic geometry and topology. (Joint work with J. Schuermann.)

Van Deman Collegiate Professorship in Roman Studies\, Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:Roman expansion is an endlessly fascinating episode of human history\, usually explained as a violent imposition of imperial rule\, followed by the diffusion of a dominant culture. From Charlemagne to Queen Victoria\, countless military conquerors have drawn inspiration and legitimation from Rome. Yet\, it is possible to tell the story in radically different terms. Building on recent research\, it can be argued instead that the Roman empire was made possible through intense negotiation between elites belonging to a variety of ethnic groups. A ‘grand bargain’ was reached that was based on integration\, synergy and access to power for the incorporated communities. Over time\, an imperial elite culture emerged that was as new for those who had joined the empire as for those who had initiated it. An alternative narrative of this kind offers an unexpected example of how some pre-modern empires could be based on consensus and inclusion more than on threat.

The tale that emerges demonstrates the power of music and poetry to spark the social imagination and thus create a sense of shared community.\n\nInspired by the successful defense of Baltimore\, Maryland from British attack in September 1814\, lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned his now famous lyric. Rather than extraordinary\, Key’s creative impulse was typical of early America’s broadside ballad tradition in which new words were written to fit well known tunes. The result\, however\, was far from everyday—Key could not have predicted that his song would survive the moment\, yet become his nation’s singular anthem.\n\nFollow the “The Star-Spangled Banner” from the moments leading up to September 14\, 1814 through the present day and explore the social history of our national song.\nMarch 2017 to September 2017 \n\nMonday - Friday. 8:45 am - 4:45 pm\nClosed all Federal holidays.

Discarded shoes\, tarps and handmade signs that mark the post-industrial landscape become part roadside memorial and part doomsday prophecy. These temporary sculptures - set against the backdrop of environmental decline - evoke a cautionary tale of hazmat crews and oil soaked shorelines. \n\nIf there is a place for both apathy and active resistance in the way forward to a better future\, Another Country carries the tension that’s in-between. Inspired by the visual resistance of liberation parties\, past and present\, it urges us to remember why we fight.\n\nShanna Merola is an artist\, activist\, and documentary photographer. Working for civil rights attorneys\, she photographs first amendment activity at protests and facilitates workshops on best practices during police encounters. Over the past five years she has been a human rights observer for social justice movements across the country - from the deeply embattled struggle over water rights in Detroit and Flint\, Michigan - to the frontlines of uprisings in Ferguson\, MO and Standing Rock\, ND. Her collages and constructed landscapes are informed by these rallies - from direct actions against fracking companies to the privatization of water both globally and locally. She is currently working on a collaborative production of Know Your Rights Theatre\, inspired by the politically radical puppet troupes of the 1960’s.\n\nMerola received an MFA in Photography from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Photo and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University.

Instead\, she taps into the energy of community and its humanness—restless\, frenetic\, din\, a choir\, extending beyond the confines of walls. \n\nSnelling’s representations are neither judgmental nor opportunistic. They unaffectedly and objectively offer a multidimensional sketch of a place in time\, how we occupy space. \n\nHer signature piece \"One Thousand Shacks\" (included in this exhibition along with new work created during her her residency here) pushes up against the challenges of economic inequalities\, racial biases\, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people. Concurrently\, the installation embraces our everyday existence expressed through Snelling’s exuberant palette\, bold graphics\, video and neon. \n\nConceptually\, Snelling’s stacking method first creates an exalted “big picture” with a myriad of colors\, image\, text\, sound and light. The counterpoint in scale soon immerses the viewer into each small world. With this shift\, the onlooker becomes the active participant\, the occupant in situ\, adding the trappings of their own experiences to each tableau. It is this shift that forces the viewer into a new way of seeing from varying perspectives.\n\nOn the one hand\, the artist’s sculptures allude to our desire for refuge\, a private domain that allows us to be ourselves. On the other\, the overall composition reaffirms it is imperative that we co-exist with one another respectfully\, forge relationships\, understanding our marked differences. It is diversity—the unique and often disparate combination of things\, the cacophony of it all\, that activates communities and public space.\n\nSnelling’s constructions literally build a way out\, one on top of another\, charged with the undercurrent of the way we live. They emphasize our universal longing to find a place called home\, and be accepted\, built on the foundation of one and of many. \n–Amanda Krugliak\, Arts Curator\, Institute for the Humanities\n\nAbout Tracey Snelling:\nThrough the use of sculpture\, photography\, video\, and large-scale installation\, Tracey Snelling gives her impression of a place\, its people and their experience. Often\, the cinematic image stands in for real life as it plays out behind windows in the buildings\, sometimes creating a sense of mystery\, other times stressing the mundane. Snelling’s work derives from voyeurism\, film noir\, and geographical and architectural location. Within this idea of location\, themes develop that transport observation into the realm of storytelling\, with reality and sociological study being the focus. Snelling had exhibited in international galleries\, museums and institutions\, including the The Royal Museum of Fine Arts\, Belgium\; Palazzo Reale\, Milan\; Museum of Arts and Design\, New York\; Kunstmuseen Krefeld Germany\; El Museo de Arte de Banco de la Republica\, Bogota\; the Stenersen Museet\, Oslo\, and the Sundance Film Festival. Her short films have screened at the San Francisco International Film Festival\, the Thessaloniki International Film Festival\, Circuito Off in Venice\, Italy\, and the Arquiteturas Film Festival Lisboa in Portugal.

The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege\, philosophically as well as experientially\, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well\, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?\nBy bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives\, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand\, imagine\, interrupt\, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.\nAmbiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects\, artists\, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York UID:44929-10012452@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/44929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Architecture,Exhibition,symposium LOCATION:Art and Architecture Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170320T100705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170330T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170330T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:22nd Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners DESCRIPTION:The Prison Creative Arts Project is proud to announce the dates for the upcoming 22nd Annual Exhibition of Art by Michigan Prisoners.

After working as a children’s librarian and youth department manager in Chelsea and later in Ypsilanti\, she came to AADL in 1999. She has been Director since 2002. She serves as a Commissioner on the Michigan Commission for the Blind and the State Library for the Blind in Michigan. She speaks on public library matters to a broad array of groups around the world\, but she is happiest speaking to the Ann Arbor community about its public library.\n\n Ms. Parker will talk about the treasure that is the Ann Arbor District Library\, its mission\, challenges\, and stories about its founding and special collections. She will relate why our library\, unlike most public libraries\, is tied to the school district\, rather than the municipal government. She will also describe the important role that a Scottish immigrant played in the intellectual life of our country. She will describe some of the joys and challenges in public libraries of today and in the future.\n\nThis is the last of a six-lecture series. The subject is The Library – Civilization’s Treasure House of Knowledge. The next lecture series will start April 6\, 2017.

Reuther Library Woodcock Conference Room\nWalter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University\n5401 Cass Ave\, Detroit\, MI 48202\n\nBorn and raised in Chicago by Mexican-American parents\, Nancy De Los Santos is an accomplished filmmaker and proud “Chicana from Chicago” who has dedicated her life and career to rewriting and redefining the image of Latina/os in the mainstream media. Among her most celebrated works are as Co-Writer and Co-Producer of The Bronze Screen: 100 Years of the Latin Image in Hollywood Cinema\, with Susan Racho and Alberto Dominguez\, and as Associate Producer on the feature film Selena.\n\nIn Chicana Fotos\, an exhibit of evocative photographs taken in the 1970s\, we meet a very different Nancy: a woman armed with a camera\, capturing historic events in the struggles for social justice of the time. Nancy’s photographs of Chicano Movement marches and rallies\, farmworker mobilizations in Chicago and Texas\, and Latina organizing in the Midwest and internationally offer a priceless documentary view of Latina/o politics in the 1970s. Her more intimate pictures of everyday Latina/o life capture what it was like to live through a period of radical social transformation. The exhibit includes rare photographs of UFW organizing activities in Chicago\, the Texas Farmworker Pilgrimage of 1977\, and the first ever International Women’s Year Conference in Mexico City in 1975. These images are supplemented by never before exhibited documents from the Walter P. Reuther UFW Collection.\n\nChicana Fotos was curated by University of Michigan professor Maria Cotera (with assistance from Pau Nava) and designed by students and faculty of the UM Stamps School of Art & Design. Stamps School faculty Hannah Smotrich and Katie Rubin co-taught the collaborative\, interdisciplinary Exhibition Design class with students Ian Crowley\, Rachel Dawson\, Emilie Farrugia\, Kelsi Franzino\, Andrew Han\, Jack Hyland\, Maggie Lemak\, Megan Lewin-Smith\, Katie Mongoven\, Olivia Moore\, Pau Nava\, and Sarah Wolf.\n\nChicana Fotos is a collaboration between the El Museo del Norte\, the Chicana por mi Raza Digital Archive\, the Stamps School of Art & Design and the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University.\n\nThe Walter P. Reuther Library of Labor and Urban Affairs at Wayne State University is the largest labor archive in North America. In addition to internationally significant collections on the history of the North American labor movement\, the Reuther Library holds the official records of Wayne State University\, as well as extensive records documenting urban affairs\, civic life\, civil rights\, ethnic and religious organizations\, and community development across Southeast Michigan.\n\nChicana Fotos was made possible through the generous financial support of the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative and the Stamps School of Art & Design. Gallery talk sponsored by the Center for Latina/o and Latin American Studies\, Wayne State University\, and the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative.

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.

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.

They were part of what historians characterize as a watershed in African American History-the Great Migration. From 1910 to 1930\, hundreds of thousands of Blacks headed North\, leaving the South because of economic hardship\, poor educational opportunities\, and enticed by the lure of better jobs in northern industries and more freedom. Cites in the industrial Northeast and Midwest experienced astounding increases in their Black populations\, but few more so that Detroit\, its institutions and its cultures\, took shape and developed. The problems encountered by the migrants in the form of discrimination and racial animosity were problems with which the city would grapple throughout the decades to follow.\n\nThis exhibit focused on the two major concerns of the migrants\, housing and jobs\, and on the attempts made by various organizations in adjusting to life in Detroit. It is primarily compiled from the holding s of the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library\, particularly the rich collection of the Detroit Urban League. It is also drawn from the Collections of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of the Detroit Public Library\, the Walter Reuther Collection of Labor History and Urban Affairs (Wayne State University)\, the Collections of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village\, the Detroit News\, and tge Second Baptist Church of Detroit\, Michigan. The exhibit was prepared by Christine Weideman and Karen Jania\, staff members of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n*From the poem\, “Northboun’” by Lucy Ariel Williams\, printed in Opportunity “: a Journal of Negro Life\, June 1926. The journal was a publication of the National Urban League.

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.

This two-part exhibition (Part I: Figuration followed by Part II: Abstraction on view July 1– October 29) presents works collected by a diverse group of alumni that represent the breadth of the University and over seventy years of graduating classes. The works themselves are equally diverse\, ranging from ancient sculptures to contemporary multimedia works. Part I: Figuration features works by Henri Matisse\, Elizabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun\, Mark Tansey\, and Mickalene Thomas\, among others\, and allows visitors to explore the variety of artistic responses and purposes encompassed by the term “figuration”. It also offers an unprecedented opportunity to view art that may have never been publicly displayed otherwise—and most certainly\, not all together. For visitors\, and especially for future Michigan alumni\, Victors for Art illuminates the shared passion for art fostered by the Michigan experience.\n\nThis exhibition was organized by Joseph Rosa\, Guest Curator\, in collaboration with Laura De Becker\, Helmut & Candis Stern Associate Curator of African Art\, Jennifer Friess\, Assistant Curator of Photography\, Lehti Mairike Keelman\, Assistant Curator of Western Art\, and Natsu Oyobe\, Curator of Asian Art.\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.

From a microscopic perspective\, this is because water molecules\, ions\, and organic surfactants at the surface of the solution are the first to interact with approaching gas-phase molecules. These “frontier” surface species can momentarily bind to incoming molecules and react with them or block their entry into solution. We can explore the dynamics of these collisions and reactions in vacuum using thick glycerol films and thin water microjets\, which are narrower than a strand of hair. I will describe how these techniques can be used to map out the interfacial oxidation of Br- to Br2 by N2O5\, catalyzed by ionic surfactants that serve as proxies for sea spray aerosols.\nGilbert Nathanson (University of Wisconsin) UID:31417-4260677@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31417 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1706 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170215T103129 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170330T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170330T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Beyond the Ballot Box: Partisan Identity and Political Action DESCRIPTION:2017 Miller-Converse Lecture Series\n\nThe series is the University of Michigan's preeminent lecture series on American Electoral Politics.

Although the use of financial incentives has been promoted as a promising approach to behavior modification\, few studies have directly compared two commonly-used approaches—fixed incentive amounts and lottery-based incentives. This paper reports results from two randomized controlled trials in Kenya that tested whether alternative amounts and types of incentives promote takeup of medical male circumcision\, an intervention that can reduces HIV acquisition by nearly 60 percent. Providing a fixed incentive generated a nearly 5-fold increase in circumcision uptake\, and such incentives were most effective in nudging those contemplating going for circumcision. Lottery-based incentives did not have a significant impact on behavior. The results suggest that fixed incentives worth US$8-$15 are highly cost-effective.

To understand the evolutionary forces that influence variation in a wild relative of Arabidopsis\, we are studying genes that control complex traits and fitness in nature. We performed a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) for ~100 traits\, using sequenced genotypes from 430 populations across the species range. Among the significant results\, we focus on a gene that is widely polymorphic and experiences heterogeneous selection among natural populations in the Rocky Mountains. Field experiments show that this polymorphism is influenced by fitness trade-offs in nature.\n \nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m. UID:36330-5562280@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/36330 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Discussion,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170329T092942 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170330T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170330T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Law & Economics: Error Costs\, Statistical Significance\, and Legal Decision Rules DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThe relationship between legal decision rules and thresholds of statistical significance is a well-known and studied phenomena in the academic literature. Moreover\, this distinction has been recognized in law. For example\, in Matrix v. Siracusano\, the Court unanimously rejected the petitioner’s argument that the issue of materiality in a securities class action can be defined by the presence or absence of a statistically significant effect. However\, in other contexts\, thresholds based on fixed significance levels continue to be used as a legal standard. Our positive analysis demonstrates how a choice of either a statistical significance threshold or a legal standard represent alternative and often inconsistent ways to tradeoff error costs\, and that thresholds based on fixed significance levels are not generally consistent with optimal legal rules. We also show how the two thresholds can be reconciled by replacing fixed significance levels with likelihood ratio\ntests.

This talk draws from early work on a new book project that explores the digital production of knowledge about gender\, race\, and disability through the intersection of social justice discourse and fan culture\, exploring ways that the creative production of media fan subcultures has preceded and shaped the development of contemporary digital politics. Participants in creative fan communities have theorized their own knowledge production as in conversation with\, yet distinct from both media industrial and academic models\; drawing from these approaches enables us to understand “digital humanities” as a phenomenon that need not be contained within the bounds of academic disciplines. Through the creation\, circulation\, and reception of fan fiction\, vids\, and other creative works\, fans have developed complex methodologies for social justice activism\, bringing together concepts from feminist\, queer\, critical race\, and disability studies with the intense effective investments that being a fan entails. \n\nAlexis Lothian is Assistant Professor in the Department of Women’s Studies and Core Faculty in the Design Cultures and Creativity Program at University of Maryland College Park.

However\, analogous metrics on the Teichmueller space of the flat torus have not been well studied. We define an analog of Thurston's Lipschitz metric for this space and find that it agrees with the hyperbolic metric. In particular\, this gives a new way to realize the hyperbolic plane as the moduli space of marked flat tori. This work is joint with Lizhen Ji.

String theory is changing the nature of this relationship. I will try to explain why\, and give you a flavor of the emerging field.

The conference will begin on Thursday\, March 30\, at 4:15 PM with a keynote session commemorating the 30-year history of the Environmental Crimes Section at the Justice Department. This panel discussion will feature the eight prosecutors who have served as Chief of the Environmental Crimes Section: Jud Starr (1987-1989)\, Jerry Block (1989-1991)\, Neil Cartusciello (1991-1994)\, Ron Sarachan (1994-1997)\, Steve Solow (1997-2000)\, David Uhlmann (2000-2007)\, Stacey Mitchell (2007-2014)\, and Deborah Harris (2014-present). Their discussion will provide an overview of criminal enforcement under the environmental laws from the Exxon Valdez\, Colonial Pipeline\, and Koch Petroleum to the Gulf oil spill\, Volkswagen\, and Lumber Liquidators\, along with hundreds of other cases prosecuted over the last 30 years. \n\nThe conference will continue on Friday\, March 31. We will begin the morning with a panel discussion about the role of criminal enforcement in environmental and worker safety disasters\, with a focus on the Gulf oil spill and the Upper Big Branch mine disaster. Environmental prosecutors often focus on cases where the harm is greatest but those cases also raise questions about whether criminal prosecution is appropriate for industrial accidents. Our second panel of the morning will focus on fraud and concealment\, with a focus on the recent prosecution of Volkswagen and the use of Title 18 charges generally. During lunch we will feature breakout discussions in two recurring areas of environmental criminal enforcement: pipeline safety issues (with an emphasis on the 2010 Enbridge oil spill in the Kalamazoo River) and international smuggling cases (with a focus on the 2016 prosecution of Lumber Liquidators for importing illegally seized hardwoods from Asia). These smaller breakout sessions will give conference participants a greater opportunity to join the discussions. Our conference will conclude with a panel discussion about the criminal prosecution of state and local officials for the Flint drinking water crisis. We will explore the extent to which residents of Flint\, Michigan were betrayed by their state and municipal governments–as well as the difficult question of under what circumstances government officials should face criminal charges. Our moderators are University of Michigan law professors who are joined by panelists that include academics\, prosecutors\, and defense attorneys from throughout the United States who are leading experts on environmental crime. Our conference participants include Michigan faculty and students\, as well as Ann Arbor residents and interested citizens from throughout Michigan.

Fortunately\, we can ignore abolitionist critiques unless moral error theory succeeds. Or so goes the assumption I term the Central Misconception. It is a misconception because a normative critique of moral discourse need have no truck with moral error theory. And the misconception is central in the sense that it is a primary impediment to recognizing that investigating the value of moral discourse ought to be a more central task in metaethics. I argue that the Central Misconception has served to preclude awareness that a variety of non-error-theoretic views are compatible with—and many are quite friendly to—moral abolitionism. I try to show that even if expressivism or non-error-theoretic subjectivism can defeat error theory\, such abolitionist critiques can remain entirely unaffected. Yet more surprisingly\, prominent forms of these views unwittingly support abolitionist critiques. I conclude that the Central Misconception has contributed to a widespread andunjustified complacency about the value of ordinary moral discourse.

A madman and an earnest poet. A strummer of delicate chords and a lover of bent and broken melodies. Ben Caplan is not any one thing. As he releases his second album\, he's already gained a following in more than a dozen countries from Australia to Europe and across North America\, and it's no surprise. Ben Caplan is simply unforgettable\; with his huge beard and unruly mane\, he is as visually striking as he is aurally compelling. His rough and textured tones cut through crowded halls with an enormous voice\, roaring louder than raucous crowds. The microphone looks almost superfluous. But looks are deceiving\; once he has your attention\, Ben can croon smoother than a glass of single malt whisky\, pouring beauty into a harsh world. Inspired in part by Eastern European and Jewish folk traditions\, Ben Caplan mixes older musical sensibilities with his own soul\, straight from his hairy heart. Lyrically\, you've not heard the like before. Often edgy and dark\, he holds a mirror up to show us our nasty dies\, singing about the ugliness—and showing us that this darkness is the root of the sublime. His new album\, \"Birds with Broken Wings\,\" explodes with sounds both ancient and modern\, with more than 30 musicians and even more instruments\, combining acoustic sounds from around the world. It's all smoothly blended by the hottest international production team around. It's uncharted territory\, and Ben Caplan's leading the way.
