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.

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. 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:44929-10012453@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:20170307T144618 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170331T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170331T113000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:The Audiovisual Essay and the Digital Humanities Mini-Conference DESCRIPTION:This mini-conference will act as a critical introduction to the audiovisual essay that seeks to assess its scholarly and pedagogical applications while bringing several of its proponents in cinema and media studies into conversation with digital humanists working in a range of disciplines at the University of Michigan.

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.

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.

Civility and Dispossession in the New Saigon DESCRIPTION:Today’s Ho Chi Minh City\, also known as Saigon\, is a city of contrasts. New luxury housing developments rise from the rubble of demolished neighborhoods. Emergent forms of property rights\, known in Vietnam as “land-use rights\,” have produced both new real estate opportunities and unprecedented rates of dispossession. This talk\, based on research informing my new book\, Luxury and Rubble: Civility and Dispossession in the New Saigon\, will focus on two cases. On one side of the city\, a new urban zone named Phú Mỹ Hưng is commonly said to have “risen from the swamps” and to have transformed a “wasteland” into a space of civilized living. It is a place of hope and aspiration that promises to deliver new models for urban development\, transparent governance\, and social consciousness. On the other side of the city\, in a place called Thủ Thiêm\, thousands of households are being evicted from prime real estate located at a bend in the river immediately across from downtown Saigon. This area was also commonly described as an empty wasteland\, despite the fact that entire neighborhoods had to be demolished in order to “clear the land.” Tracing the tensions embodied in these two sites\, I show how the politics of civility and rights are often entangled with dispossession. In the process\, a central paradox emerges: on the one hand\, the logic of property rights emboldens residents to stand up for their rights in the face of dispossession\; on the other hand\, this very same logic of property rights fuels the real estate boom that currently drives mass-dispossession.

We construct a new dataset\, drawing on a rich and largely untapped source of data: the text content of newspaper job ads. A previous literature has found that over this 40 year period\, the employment share of occupations centered around offshorable and routine tasks (especially routine manual tasks) has declined\, while the employment share of jobs with non-routine interactive tasks has increased. We document that the evolution of the skill and task content of occupations themselves is at least as important as the employment shifts across occupations in accounting for aggregate changes in\nskill and task use. Motivated by these patterns\, we decompose changes in the earnings distribution. We find that our new measures\, which allow the task and skill content of occupations to vary through time\, can help explain a substantially greater proportion of inequality than previous research has found. Changes in the task and skill content of jobs account for a 17 percentage point increase in 90-10 male earnings inequality.

This paper explores the overlap between Ali’s positions as author and translator vis-à-vis the World Literature in Translation publication series (1940-1966) he helped to both shape and execute. As a case study\, I examine the relationship between Ali’s final novel Kürk Mantolu Madonna (1943) (Madonna in a Fur Coat) and his translation of “Die Verlobung in St. Domingo” (1811) (The Betrothal in Santo Domingo). Through an attention to critical narrative gaps in each of these texts\, I call attention to the subtle manner in which Ali was able to resist dominant paradigms of translation—such as smooth translatability and civilizational transfer—through his position as a state employee. As such\, I document an alternative history of translation in the modern Republic of Turkey that emerges from within a state-sponsored project of culture planning.\n\nFree and open to the public.

However\, both our models and our information for parameterizing those models are imperfect. This talk will describe strategies for quantifying the uncertainty in biomolecular solvation models and optimizing those models to provide the best possible accuracy and performance. The first part of the talk will describe generalized polynomial chaos methods for quantifying solvation energy uncertainty due to conformational noise and errors in atomic charge and radius parameters. The second part of the talk will outline Bayesian methods for addressing model uncertainty through statistical aggregation of predictions from multiple models.

Such an axion\, often referred to as \"Fuzzy DM (FDM)\,\" may get its tiny mass from large masses suppressed by non-perturbative stringy effects. We examine an alternative possibility that the mass of FDM is generated by infrared confining dynamics\, in analogy with the QCD axion. We find that cosmological constraints are suggestive of a period of mild of inflation that reheats the Standard Model (SM) sector only. A typical prediction of the scenario\, broadly speaking\, is a larger effective number of neutrinos compared to the SM value Neff≈3\, as inferred from precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background. Some of the new degrees of freedom may be identified as \"sterile neutrinos\,\" which may be required to explain certain neutrino oscillation anomalies.

The precision required for these properties is somehow achieved while also preserving evolvability – the capacity for adaptive variation in response to ever-changing selection pressures. How are proteins built in Nature to support all of these properties? To address this question\, we developed an approach (the statistical coupling analysis or SCA) for deducing the pattern of constraints on amino acid residues in proteins through statistical analysis of the evolutionary divergence of a protein family. This approach reveals a novel decomposition of proteins into sparse groups of co-evolving amino acids that we term “protein sectors”. The sectors comprise physically connected networks in the tertiary structure and can be modular – with different sectors in a single protein delivering different functional properties. Experiments in several protein systems demonstrate the importance of the sectors and importantly\, the SCA information was shown to be necessary and sufficient to design functional artificial proteins without the use of any direct structural or chemical information. These results suggest that sectors are the conserved units of folding\, function\, and adaptability in natural proteins. We are now working on two key problems: (1) understanding the physical mechanisms underlying sectors\, and (2) defining how the dynamics of the evolutionary process controls the emergence of this structural architecture in proteins.

My larger project pursues this question through a historical anthropology of technical education in India. It looks at the operations of caste\, the social institution most emblematic of ascriptive hierarchy\, within the modern field of engineering education. At the heart of the study are the Indian Institutes of Technology\, or IITs\, a set of highly coveted engineering colleges that are equally representative of Indian meritocracy and\, until recently\, of caste exclusivity. In this talk\, I hope to show that the politics of meritocracy at the IITs illuminates the social life of caste in contemporary India. Rather than the progressive erasure of ascribed identities in favor of putatively universal ones\, what we are witnessing is the rearticulation of caste as an explicit basis for merit and the generation of newly consolidated forms of upper casteness.\n\nAjantha Subramanian is Professor of Anthropology and of South Asian Studies at Harvard University.

This painting\, with its scattered corpses and accumulation of contaminated goods\, fear-inducing pizzigamorti (body clearers)\, and triumphant sacred intercessors\, is an exercise in dramatic effect. It seeks to elicit a visceral response in viewers\, evoking fear and revulsion\, pity and piety. This paper will examine the ways in which Zanchi created an embodied viewing experience on the stairwell through his incorporation of the built environment and use of staging techniques developed in the visual and performance arts in seicento Venice.\n\nGrant Mandarino\, \"Grosz's Haß or: The Art of Class Consciousness\"\n\nGeorge Grosz's drawings of the 1920s are heralded for their incisive social commentary and economy of means. Yet they tend to be viewed today as the product of a misanthropic personality rather than a hatred born of political commitment. Originally conceived for an audience radicalized by the turmoil of the immediate post-WWI period and deployed in the pages of Communist-oriented publications\, Grosz's images spoke to a moment of profound social polarization. Their ability to translate structural foes into indentifiable enemies made them\, in the eyes of partisan critics\, uniquely able to foster class conscious ways of seeing. This talk explores the development of an explicitly Communist form of graphic satire during the Weimar Republic and its relationship to the vicissitudes of partisan ideology by looking at how the sardonic vision of artists like Grosz became the very image of class hatred.

Each work relies on a different experiment with generative pattern\, and all have been realized using the Abjad API for Formalized Score Control\, an extension of the widely-used Python programming language that enables composers to create scores via an object-oriented model of common practice western music notation. In this presentation\, I demonstrate my code-based compositional process and describe the generative mechanisms underlying my work\, which range from historical composition techniques--such as prolation canon and arpeggiation based on harmonic verticalities--to novel conceptual experiments\, such as metaphors of rhythmic noise and melodic nesting via search algorithms. I place these abstract materials and developmental strategies in discourse with the instrument’s relatively more concrete physical and timbral restrictions\, to frame the tension between abstract pattern and listened or performed physicality as a restorative force in my compositional practice.” UID:38881-7435821@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/38881 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Music,North campus LOCATION:Earl V.

While this event is meant to be celebratory\, it is not without a deep understanding of the pervasive cissexism\, transphobia\, racisim\, xenophobia\, classism\, and many more interlocking opressions faced by those in trans communities.

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:44929-10012454@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:20170323T181539 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170401T093000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Carillon Symposium: Panel Discussion DESCRIPTION:Featuring John Granzow (SMTD)\, Alexander Stalarow (UC-Davis)\, Elliot Kermit Canfield-Dafilou (Stanford)\, Kurt James Werner (Queen’s University Belfast)\, Romain Michon (Stanford)\, and Sara R.

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.

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.

These father-daughter metalogues are exercises in how subjects and objects fuse through the dialectical play of conversational structure. At their best\, they exemplify how evolutionary complexities are no less emergent processes than the dialogical attempts to reveal them. Inspired by Bateson’s playful excursions into knowledge production\, my foray into the material and affective ‘what-ness’ of bells–their relational ontologies–starts with a series of listening conversations with my daughter\, Clochanda\, and two of her good friends\, Mikhail Bakhtin and Michel Foucault. Together we visit with goats and shepherds\, sheep and carnivals\, campanile and churches\, blacksmiths and carillonneurs\, and conclude with a live performance encounter featuring oud virtuoso Rahim AlHaj of Baghdad\, Iraq\, and the World Peace Bell of Newport\, Kentucky.” UID:38198-6999897@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/38198 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Bicentennial,Free,Music,umich200 LOCATION:North Quad - Erlicher Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170329T121537 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170401T170000 SUMMARY:Performance:Masters Recital: Christi Baker\, trumpet DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM: Chaynes - Concerto Pour Trompette\; Glazounov - Albumblatt\; Fasch - Trumpet Concerto in D Major\; McKee - Centennial Horizon.

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:44929-10012455@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:20170402T120017 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170402T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170402T170000 SUMMARY:Other:Triple Header vs. EMU DESCRIPTION:Pack your bags!

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.

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.

Many families carry a tragic past. Like the author’s mother\, many Poles did not tell their children a complete story of their wartime experiences. Agata Tuszyńska was nineteen years old when her mother told her that she was Jewish—and began to tell her stories of the family’s secret past in Poland. \n \nIn \"Family History of Fear\,\" Tuszyńska investigates her past and writes of her journey to uncover her family’s history during World War II—of her mother\, entering the Warsaw Ghetto at age eight\, escaping just before the fateful uprising\, and then living “hidden on the other side.” She writes of her relatives and their mysterious pasts\, as she tries to make sense of the hatred of Jews in her country. \n \nAgata Tuszyńska is an award winning journalist\, scholar\, and internationally renowned author. Her latest works include \"Vera Gran\" (Wydawnictwo Literackie\, 2010)\, \"The Fiancée of Bruno Schulz\,\" and \"A Family History of Fear\,\" released in English in Spring 2016 by Knopf. \n \nA book signing will follow the reading. Books will be available for purchase at the event through Literati Bookstore.

Not nearly. His singing voice\, an ageless gift which sounds something like old timber looks\, like the unpainted walls framing Walker Evans' best portraits from Let Us Now Praise Famous Men: simple\, durable\, weathered and grooved and unplanned. The new Son Volt album\, \"Notes of Blue\,\" will be the twentieth album—including a couple live releases and two movie soundtracks—to which Jay has lent his voice and songwriting. \"Notes of Blue\" is not the blues of appropriation\, nor of beer commercials\, nor especially of the W.C. Handy awards. It is the broader blues of the folk process\, where they have always lived. In Jay's words\, “For years I’ve been drawn to the passion\, common struggle and possibility for redemption that’s always been a part of the blues. Everyone has to pay the rent and get along with their significant others\, so many of the themes are universal. For me\, the blues fills that void that's there for religion\, really. That's the place I turn to be lifted up.” This is quintessential Son Volt. Tough\, solitary\, unflinching. \"There's always a threat of darkness on the horizon\,” Jay says. “There's also a path to a better way inherent in the blues.” UID:36334-5562283@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/36334 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170329T121536 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170402T193000 SUMMARY:Performance:Student Recital: Brian Kosiadi\, violin DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM: Bach - Violin Sonata no. 3 in C Major\, BWV 1005\; Chausson - Poeme\, op. 25\; Arensky - Piano Trio no. 1\, op. 32.

He was arrogant\, sugar-fueled and oddly appealing. Being a printmaker\, Short began carving the tale into woodblocks. This picture book exhibit follows the confectionary exploits of Cakeasaurus\, one cake-deprived town\, and one little boy about to turn five. It also shows the evolution of a long-term project\, with print variations and peeks into artistic process. Short is an Ann Arbor based artist and writer\, whose work has appeared in local and national exhibitions.

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:44929-10012456@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:20170403T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170403T160000 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.

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.

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.

Censorship seldom ranks highly among the ethical and methodological considerations prompted by this growing abundance. But for scholars working on contemporary China\, particularly its legal system\, censorship remains a cardinal problem.\n\nThis talk strikes a cautionary note about the risks of our deepening digital dependence. Combining both traditional close reading and computational tools\, the talk will document and analyze the omission of hundreds of articles from leading Chinese online academic journal databases\, offering a case study on how the digital turn has enabled China to quietly export its domestic censorship regime abroad\, with Orwellian ramifications for how scholars around the globe comprehend its past\, present\, and future.\n\nDr. Tiffert is the LRCCS Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow in Residence and teaches in the History and the Asian Languages and Cultures departments at the University of Michigan.

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.

By the Mordell-Weil theorem\, the group of K-rational points on A is finitely generated and as for elliptic curves\, its rank is predicted by the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. A basic consequence of this conjecture is the parity conjecture: the sign of the functional equation of the L-series determines the parity of the rank of A/K. Under suitable local constraints and finiteness of the Shafarevich-Tate group\, we prove the parity conjecture for principally polarized abelian surfaces. We also prove analogous unconditional results for Selmer groups.

Learning the optimal strategy involves solving a “eureka” type logic problem\, as it requires grasping an insight that is hard to learn but\, once learned\, can easily be explained to other people. Individuals only learn slowly to use the optimal strategy\, with two subject teams with fixed members performing no better than individuals. Rematching teammates into new two subject teams immediately results in a large and persistent increase in use of the optimal strategy. This is driven by “mixed” teams\, where one teammate was previously in a team that did not play optimally and one was in a team that did play optimally. These mixed teams almost always adopt the optimal strategy\, consistent with a truth wins model. This has important implications for any setting where decision makers are likely to be groups rather than individuals\, as reshuffling team membership may be an important source of learning how to play strategically.

Thus\, measuring their mass is one of the leading goals in fundamental physics. Cosmology currently provides the tightest bounds on the sum of the neutrino masses and the possibility that next generation experiments can provide a detection looks promising. Then\, further questions would have to be addressed\, such as those related to the neutrino hierarchy and the neutrino nature. \n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss the treasure trove of information about massive neutrinos that we can collect from different cosmological probes. In particular\, I will show that the combination of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and Large Scale Structure (LSS) measurements provides a tight and robust bound on the neutrino mass scale and I will introduce a novel method to assess the sensitivity of cosmological data to the neutrino hierarchy. Finally\, I will choose a different angle and show how massive neutrino unknowns can affect the constraints on inflationary models. Important findings in the neutrino sector are just around the corner and cosmology\, in combination with laboratory avenues\, will unveil neutrino secrets in the coming years.

At sufficiently long times\, the single particle dynamics is governed by global symmetries rather than by system particularities and demonstrate a universal behavior. In this universal regime the quantum observables can be represented by random matrix integrals. The deform-and-study approach is an adopted string theory method for revealing hidden symmetries in completely integrable systems. It allows to establish non-linear differential identities for the observables in terms of internal parameters of the system. The implementation of the above strategy will be demonstrated for the problem of quantum transport in chaotic cavities. According to the Landauer-type theories the transport observables such as conductance are expressed in terms of the scattering S-matrix. In the universal regime the S-matrix is uniformly distributed over the unitary group\, the Landauer conductance distribution takes a form of a matrix integral - an object suitable for the analysis by the deform-and-study technique. It was shown that the cumulant generation function of conductance distribution is expressed in terms of a solution to the Painleve V equation\, which\, in turn\, allows to derive a recurrence for cumulants of conductance. This mean that the problem of quantum transport in chaotic cavities is completely integrable in the universal regime. Some very recent results concerning the power spectrum distribution of eigenvalues in a chaotic system\, which were derived with the help of integrable system theory\, will be highlighted in the talk as well.

The octahedron recurrence has received a great deal of attention over the past 25 years. As a consequence of cluster algebra theory\, one can express the terms in this recurrence as Laurent polynomials in initial conditions. In this talk\, we discuss the combinatorics of solutions of T-systems\, including Speyer's bijection of the terms of these Laurent polynomials with perfect matchings of the Aztec diamond. No background in cluster algebras will be expected.

The Glory and Poverty of the ’68 Generation DESCRIPTION:1968 was a watershed year in the world. In democratic countries\, people protested against conservative social norms and the stability of democratic institutions. In Eastern Europe\, it was dictatorship that was questioned in the name of democracy. In Poland more specifically\, students and members of the intelligentsia fighting for freedom were severely repressed\, and the regime launched a brutal anti-Semitic campaign that forced tens of thousands of Jews into exile. It is in 1968 that the spirit of communist reform died and that the spirit of the democratic opposition against communism was born. In this lecture\, Adam Michnik will discuss the different threads that woven together made 1968 the defining moment of his generation\, a turning point for Poland\, and a dramatic crossroads for Polish Jews. \n\nAdam Michnik is editor-in-chief of Gazeta Wyborcza\, Poland’s first independent newspaper and currently its biggest daily. A historian\, Michnik co-founded the Committee for the Defense of Workers (KOR) in 1976\, and was a prominent Solidarity activist during the 1980s. He was detained many times during 1965-80\, spending a total of six years in Polish prisons for activities opposing the communist regime. Michnik participated in the Round Table Talks of 1989 that led peacefully to the first contested elections since the start of the communist regime. He was a member of Poland’s first non-communist parliament from 1989 to 1991. His many notable awards and honors include the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award\, Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur\, the Goethe Medal\, and the Erasmus Prize\, as well as honorary degrees from several institutions including the University of Michigan. \n\nPart of the Minorities series at the Weiser Center for Europe & Eurasia\, which focuses on the fates and challenges various minorities face\, from ethnic and racial groups to people with disabilities and members of LGBT communities. How do different political regimes come to define groups as minorities\, and how do they engage with them as a result? What can the experience of minorities in the other parts of the world teach us?

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.

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.

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.

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.

On long time scales the connectivity of its neuronal network evolves persistently - even in adult animals - through synaptic rewiring and the addition and removal of neurons. On short time scales the neuronal activity exhibits pronounced population rhythms reflecting the coherent activity of large ensembles of neurons. Starting from various experimental observations\, we have developed simple computational models of this network evolution that suggest that cortical feed-back controls the adaptive formation of subnetworks through which cortex then modifies sensory processing by the olfactory bulb. The gamma-rhythms of different such subnetworks can have different frequencies. We show that even uncorrelated noise can synchronize these population rhythms.

This paper provides a causal framework to study spillover effects in a setting where units are clustered and their potential outcomes can depend on the treatment assignment of all the units within a cluster. Using this framework\, I discuss parameters of interest and provide conditions under which spillover effects can be identified. I assess the performance of three commonly applied techniques\, the difference in means\, which ignores the presence of externalities\, linear-in-means models and two-stage randomization designs. I then evaluate whether (or under what conditions) these three techniques identify the parameters of interest. Finally\, I put forth easily implemented empirical strategies for estimating these spillover effects and I illustrate my proposed methodology using two empirical applications\, one in education and one in political economy.

It is sometimes ugly\, often embarrassing\, and rich in historical parallels. Still\, Trump has identified an essential truth in the relationship: When it comes to U.S.-China business\, trade policies\, and even geopolitics\, the Chinese system seems to be working better for China than the American system is working for America right now.

More than half of the 5000 students in our College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences (CNAS) are supported by Pell grants\, are members of underrepresented groups\, and are first generation college students. To improve student persistence in STEM\, CNAS has focused on two experiential interventions for first year students: (1) Learning Communities - designed to engage groups of 24 students with faculty\, academic advisors and near-peer mentors\, and (2) the Dynamic Genome course - an authentic research experience where UCR research faculty take ownership of a section and bring the excitement of their research labs to the classroom. The Dynamic Genome (DG) course is an alternative to the traditional Intro Bio Lab where learning communities are randomly assigned to one lab experience or the other. \n\nNow in its sixth year at UC Riverside\, DG is a hands-on bioinformatics/wet lab course that is taught in the state of the art Neil A Campbell Science Learning Laboratory. First articulated in my HHMI Professor Program in 2006\, the DG course was initially proposed as an undergraduate laboratory that replicated my research lab where students learned to navigate cutting-edge methodologies applied to transposable elements in eukaryotic genomes. UC Riverside has proven to be fertile ground for the rapid expansion of the DG course model to a projected 24 sections with a total of 600 first year students by 2018. With the tools and knowledge gained from the Learning Community and Dynamic Genome experiences\, an increasing number of students are entering faculty laboratories as first or second year students.\n\nFor more information about the Foundational Course Initiative\, please see https://rebuild.lsa.umich.edu/ or contact Tim McKay (tamckay@umich.edu).

The form textis referred not only to the production of an oral text\, but also to the complex links between lyrical poets and their public. “Fabric” has the same fecundity in our modern languages\, but it seems to speak less of its process of production than of the object produced. In the racialized social world constructed with the Atlantic expansion of the West\, fabric has served as a second skin\, hiding/transforming/exposing the varieties of the skin underneath. When fabric is produced as a fashion artifact that can be exchanged for a slave on the African market\, when it is painted on a canvas in relationship to the skin it offers/refuses to the spectators of colonial territories\, when it is literally and metaphorically called upon to define the borders of bodies and selves\, fabric interlaces design\, art\, and literature. Our round-table will explore some of these many-textured layers of fabric. \n\nAnne Lafont is a visiting fellow at the Institute for the Humanities\, an assistant professor of modern art history at the University of Paris-Marne la Vallée\, and a scholarly advisor in the field of the history of art history at the French National Institute of Art History (INHA\, 2007-2012).

To illustrate the importance of this concept of volume entropy\, I will try to discuss a theorem due to Besson\, Courtois and Gallot.

Much of the Michigan Territory was still in the hands of several Native American nations. Euro-American settlement was found only in the Southeast and at the Straits of Mackinac. The proper surveying of Michigan would not begin for another year. And\, only five years earlier\, Detroit and Mackinac had been captured and occupied by the British during the War of 1812. Establishing an institution of higher learning in this rough territory was a gamble indeed.\n\nBrian Leigh Dunnigan\, Curator of Maps at the University of Michigan's William L. Clements Library\, will present a talk describing what Michigan was like when the U-M first opened its doors to scholars. Using images of original maps\, art\, architecture\, and letters from the amazing collections of the Clements Library\, he will transport you back to the Michigan of 200 years ago.

The availability of high-purity crystals\, in which either single defects can be resolved or ensembles of non-interacting identical defects can exist\, has spurred significant interest in utilizing defects for quantum-enabled applications (e.g. information processing and sensing). In this talk I will first present the potential of combining solid-state defects and integrated photonics to realize quantum information processors\, focusing on my own group’s research on the nitrogen-vacancy defect in diamond. In the second half\, I present our work researching the fundamental properties of effective mass carriers and excitons bound to defects (0D\, 1D\, and 2D) in direct bandgap materials which may be promising alternatives to diamond-based platforms. \n\nBio: Kai-Mei Fu received her A.B. in Physics from Princeton University in 2000 and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Stanford University in 2003 and 2007\, respectively.

Cohen has been a reporter for Science since 1990\, and also has written for the New Yorker\, Atlantic Monthly\, the New York Times Magazine\, Smithsonian\, Technology Review\, Outside\, Slate\, Surfer and many other publications. \n\nWith support from the Pulitzer Center\, Jon Cohen coordinated a package of stories for four media outlets that look at attempts to end the AIDS epidemic in the United States and sub-Saharan Africa. Cohen\, a staff writer with Science\, who has covered the HIV/AIDS epidemic in more than 50 countries\, has worked with PBS NewsHour to produce five video segments in New York\, San Francisco\, Atlanta\, Kenya\, Rwanda\, and South Africa. Other work includes an online story for BuzzFeed about Zimbabwe\, a feature story about South Africa for Science\, and for UCTV\, a documentary about Diane Havlir\, a co-chair of San Francisco’s Getting to Zero project who heads the HIV/AIDS program at UC San Francisco’s General Hospital. All of the stories appeared before the international AIDS conference to be held in Durban\, South Africa\, in July 2016. \n\nIn addition to HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases\, Cohen has reported on genetics\, primate research\, evolution\, bioterrorism\, vaccines and immunology\, the National Institutes of Health\, reproductive biology\, credit battles\, and the media itself.\n\nCohen specializes in the infectious disease issues of people who are excluded from society because of a variety of overlapping factors\, including poverty\, homelessness\, immigration status\, substance abuse\, sexual orientation\, sex work\, and being from a minority population. He strives to show problems and potential solutions from the ground up\, spending time with everyone from the vulnerable or infected people to the outreach workers\, advocates\, clinicians\, researchers and government officials who address public health issues.\n\nCohen’s articles twice have been selected for the Best American Science and Nature Writing (2008 and 2011). His books and articles have won awards from the National Association of Science Writers\, the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing\, the American Society for Microbiology\, the Global Health Council\, the Pan American Health Organization\, the National Academy of Sciences\, the Treatment Action Group\, and the Gaia Vaccine Foundation.

First established in 1970\, GEO was among the first graduate student unions in the United States. The union secured its first contract in 1975\, following a month-long strike\, as members demanded fair wages\, working conditions\, and non-discrimination. Since then\, GEO has bargaining for wage increases\, no-premium healthcare\, tuition waivers\, childcare subsidies\, dental coverage\, access to trans healthcare\, and disability accommodations. This event will feature two former GEO organizers--Sandra Silbertstein and Scott Schneider--in conversation with a member of the union's current bargaining team\, Nora Krinitsky. They will reflect on the early years of the union\, consider the place of graduate labor in the broader labor movement then and now\, and discuss the future of campus labor organizing.\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester event is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office.

We present results from both a small pilot in one introductory-level microeconomics course at a comprehensive research university\, and the scale-up conducted in over 20 classrooms in a large broad-access university. The intervention consisted of several strategically-timed E-mails to students from the professor indicating keys to success in the class\, the professor’s knowledge of the students’ current standing in the course\, and a reminder of when the professor is available. Results from the pilot show that students in the treatment group scored higher on exams\, homework assignments\, and final course grade\, compared to students in the control group. Results from the larger experiment at the broad access institution are more mixed\, with strong positive effects on final course grade for Latino students (the largest racial/ethnic group on the campus)\, but not for other groups.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In the 25 years of market economy\, a new generation of architects and planners emerged in Russia. The rigid soviet planning system is slowly giving way to participatory models. Public space became a topic of heated public discussion and generous cityinvestment sector. Millions of square meters of housing have been built\, testing to the limit the soviet traditional prefabrication model. The microrayon heritage has been explored and re-evaluated. Julia Burdova and Olga Aleksakova\, partners at Buromoscow\, will talk about changes happening in Russia with the examples of their work.\n\nOlga Aleksakova\, Dipl ing\, CMA\, SBR.

We investigate this property by computing the entanglement entropy\, via the replica trick\, in states dual to superpositions of macroscopically distinct geometries and find it consistent with evaluating the expectation value of the area operator within such states. However\, we find that this fails once the number of semi-classical states in the superposition grows exponentially in the central charge of the CFT. Moreover\, in certain such scenarios we find that the choice of surface on which to evaluate the area operator depends on the density matrix of the entire CFT. This nonlinearity is enforced in the bulk via the homology prescription of Ryu-Takayanagi. We thus conclude that the homology constraint is not a linear property in the CFT.

Simultaneously geopolitical and inter-cultural\, innovative and oppressive\, adaptable\, whimsical\, provisional\, and scary global in its pretensions and reach\, Shenzhen follows on piracy\, colonial expansion\, international socialism\, the rise of the East Asian Tigers\, the Cold War\, and the era of Reform and Opening. Shenzhen is also excruciatingly banal\, suffusing everyday life and ordinary minds with a sense that suddenly\, abruptly\, and even unexpectedly we’re all living intercultural lives\, but not the same intercultural lives\, and certainly not with the same values\, or if with the same values not exactly with the same valuation of those values. This talk thinks about how we’ve been blindsided by globalization. \n\nMary Ann O'Donnell is an independent artist-ethnographer and co-founder of the Handshake 302 Art Space in Baishizhou\, Shenzhen’s most iconic urban village. Her blog\, “Shenzhen Noted” (formerly “Shenzhen Fieldnotes”) has chronicled the city’s transformation through photography\, notes\, translation\, and occasional essays since 2005. As an independent public intellectual\, O’Donnell contributes to projects that make legible the scale\, history\, and theoretical implications of urbanization in Shenzhen. As a curator\, she develops projects that redefine urban possibility through creative engagement with informal urbanization.

In particular\, if a non-elementary word hyperbolic group is not commensurable to a non-trivial free product or the fundamental group of a closed hyperbolic surface\, then then any projective Anosov representation of that group acts convex cocompactly on some properly convex domain in real projective space. We also show that if a projective Anosov representation preserves a properly convex domain\, then it acts convex cocompactly on some (possibly different) properly convex domain. We will then use these constructions to show that Anosov representations in general semisimple Lie groups can be defined in terms of the existence of a convex cocompact action on a properly convex domain in some real projective space (which depends on the semisimple Lie group and parabolic subgroup).

This panel addresses this question by exploring key moments and figures in U-M’s queer history during the years spanning 1900-1960. By unraveling the moments in which queer experiences became public and by tracing the networks and movements of key figures\, such as U-M graduate Forman Brown (who published his 1933 gay coming-of-age novel Better Angel under the pseudonym Richard Meeker)\, this panel works towards determining the reach and scope of U-M’s early twentieth-century queer histories.

The information is given in the form of galaxy locations\, and is typically condensed into a single function of scale\, such as the galaxy correlation function or power-spectrum. However\, galaxy correlation functions are not the only information those surveys provide. One of the most striking features of N-body simulations is the network of filaments into which dark matter particles arrange themselves. We however traditionally only use the information contained in the positions of the galaxies\, and in some occasions\, we look at other cosmic structures of the Universe such as voids. In this colloquium\, I explore the information beyond the galaxy positions in large sky surveys combining novel ideas with recent techniques in statistical methods and machine learning algorithms. In particular\, we will investigate the following two topics: the \"cosmic web\" that are mostly ignored in any large scale structure analyses in the Universe and how it affects the surrounding galaxies\; and \"likelihood free analysis\" with machine learning.

Aberrant protein glycosylation is directly related to human disease\, including cancer and infectious diseases\, and glycoproteins contain a wealth of information related to developmental and disease statuses of cells. However\, due to the low abundance of many glycoproteins and heterogeneity of glycans\, it is extraordinarily challenging to comprehensively analyze glycoproteins in complex biological samples. Based on the common features of glycans\, we have developed chemical and enzymatic methods to globally analyze protein glycosylation by mass spectrometry (MS). Glycoproteins located on the cell surface are especially interesting because they frequently regulate extracellular events. We specifically tagged surface glycoproteins for global and site-specific analysis. In combination with multiplexed proteomics\, we quantified the dynamics of surface glycoproteins and measured their half-lives. Global analysis of protein glycosylation leads to a better understanding of glycoprotein functions and the identification of glycoproteins as disease biomarkers and drug targets.\nRonghu Wu (Georgia Institute of Technology) UID:39683-8241164@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/39683 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170405T181649 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170405T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170405T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial/Actuarial Mathematics DESCRIPTION:We consider a market of a given vector of securities and finitely many financial agents\, who are heterogeneous with respect to their risky endowments and risk aversions. The market is assumed to be thin\, meaning that each agent's actions could heavily influence the price and allocation of the securities. We propose a market model where agents strategically choose the risk aversion that they will implement in the trading. In this environment\, equilibrium is modelled as the outcome of a Nash-type game (in the spirit of Kyle\, 1989)\, where the agents' sets of strategic choices are the demand functions on the tradeable securities. \n\nUnder standard assumptions\, we first show that the agents have motive to declare different risk aversions than their true ones\, and in particular\, when the correlation between an agent's endowment and the market risk is low (resp. high)\, the agent tends to behave in a more (resp. less) risk averse manner. The Nash equilibrium is then characterized as a solution to a system of quadratic equations\, which is shown to have a unique solution under some mild additional assumptions. \n\nInterestingly enough\, it is shown that agents with higher exposure to market risk and/or sufficiently low (true) risk aversion profit more from the Nash equilibrium as compared to the Arrow-Debreu one (i.e.\, with no strategic behavior). Finally\, we connect the findings of this work to similar results provided in recently established models where agents strategically choose their reported beliefs and their submitted risk exposures. \n\nThis is joint work with C. Kardaras (LSE) and G. Vichos (LSE).\n\n Speaker(s): Michalis Anthropelos (University of Piraeus) UID:32011-4490260@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/32011 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1360 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170404T122307 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170405T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170405T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Seminar in Quantitative Economics (ISQM): The Longitudinal Intergenerational Family Electronic Micro-Database (LIFE-M) Project DESCRIPTION:BIO: Martha J.

To that end\, we document signicant changes in the capital share after large political events\, such as the end of dictatorships\, political realignments\, or modications in collective bargaining rules in a sample of developed and emerging economies. These policy changes are often associated with significant fluctuations in output and asset prices. We also show\, using a Bayesian Proxy-VAR estimated with U.S. data\, how distribution shocks cause movements in output\, unemployment\, and asset pricing. To quantify the importance of these political shocks for the U.S.\, we extend an otherwise standard neoclassical growth model. We model political shocks as exogenous changes in the bargaining power of workers in a labor market with search and matching. We calibrate the model to the U.S. corporate non-nancial business sector. A one-standard deviation redistribution shock reduces the capital share 0.2% on impact and leads to a drop in output of 0.6%. Also\, political distribution risk accounts for 35 to 45% of output volatility and 15 to 25% of the observed volatility of U.S. gross capital shares\, depending on the elasticity of substitution between capital and labor. Eliminating political redistribution risk in the U.S. would raise the welfare of the representative household by 1.6% of steady-state consumption.

This presentation starts with a short yet instructive tale of Monosodium Glutamate or MSG: despite the discovery of the substance by a Japanese chemist in 1908\, it was actually the commodification of Chinese nationalism through MSG by patriotic capitalists in China that\, to this day\, makes the average consumer associate the flavor enhancer with China rather than Japan. This sets the stage for not only introducing the idea of consuming (and producing) identity\, but also what it means to conceive of nationalism as a practice or a sustained process rather than a singular emotion or feeling. By introducing some of the commodification activities surrounding the territorial disputes among countries in Northeast Asia—both in terms of consumables and non-consumables—this presentation will showcase the close connection between politics and economics\, and also challenge some of the traditional assumptions behind nationalism. \n \nJiun Bang is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan. Her doctoral project examined the ‘business of nationalism’ and explained how the process of commodification undertaken by various actors within the nation-state influences bilateral inter-state tensions. From 2008 to 2010\, she was an associate at the Korea Institute for Defense Analyses (KIDA)\, a government-affiliated research institute in Seoul. During that time\, she was the assistant editor of the Korean Journal of Defense Analysis. She received her PhD from the University of Southern California in 2016\, an MA in Security Studies from Georgetown University\, and a BA in International Relations from Ewha Womans University in Seoul\, her hometown.

He will talk about the theoretical\, historical and symbolic premises of the project from its beginning eight years ago\, and pay particular attention to the transformation of these ideas over time. The lecture will address conceptual problems of defining ‘diasporic Hebrew.’ Namely\, it will be inquired whether ‘diasopric Hebrew’ can be defined in positive terms\, or must rather rely\, conceptually\, on the existence of a ‘non-‘ or an ‘anti-Diasporic Hebrew’. More practically\, the lecture will explore what it means to write Hebrew “diasporically”\, also from a linguistic point of view. Finally\, Hever-Chybowski will expose the ways in which the concept of “World Hebrew” may offer new theoretical possibilites by adding temporality to the spatial definition of ‘Diasporic Hebrew’. The lecture will conclude with a sketch of further theoretical developments regarding Hebrew and Diaspora\, which are planned for the upcoming issue (June 2017).

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.

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.

Keith Center for Civil Rights. The Keith Center is dedicated to promoting the educational\, economic\, and political empowerment of under-represented communities in urban areas and to ensuring that the phrase “equal justice under law” applies to all members of society. Hammer has become a leading voice on the economic and social issues impacting the city of Detroit.\n\nThe legacy of slavery is central to the history of African Americans. Institutions like slavery do not end—they mutate and transform themselves. The 
process involves a dynamic interaction between “belief systems” and “institutions.” This transformation has moved from slavery to Jim Crow segregation to the forms of “spatial racism” that define Southeast Michigan. \n\nThis is the first of a six-lecture series. The subject is The African American Experience.

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.

He reframes European aesthetic uses of Japan—some familiar\, some now obscure—as part of a global response to the prospect of a non-European modernity and its consequences for “the world.” This talk will provide an overview of the book with detailed discussions of Henri Rivière’s print series Thirty-Six Views of the Eiffel Tower (1902)\, Paul-Louis Couchoud’s Sages and Poets of Asia (1916)\, and Wim Wenders’s film Tokyo-ga (1985). \n \nChristopher Bush is associate professor of French at Northwestern University\, were he co-directs Global Avant-garde and Modernist Studies and co-edits Modernism/modernity. His books include Ideographic Modernism: China\, Writing\, Media (Oxford\, 2010)\, The Floating World: Japoniste Aesthetics and Global Modernity (Columbia\, under contract) and several planned projects on the historical avant-gardes.

In this talk\, Tiffany Cain defines political violence as the intersection of violent conflict with structural violence that creates conditions where different mechanisms of violence – both overt and covert – are at work\, producing multiscalar material signatures that archaeologists would be apt to identify and unscramble. She builds on this by arguing for the interpretive value of civilian landscapes regarding past violence. These landscapes overlay violent conflict where structures of political and socioeconomic inequality and oppression have already embedded themselves. How does political violence impact civilian spaces and how can we rethink its consequences for everyday life? In this talk\, she will present the preliminary findings of a collaborative heritage program\, the Tihosuco Heritage Preservation and Community Development Project\, that explores the postconflict landscapes of Quintana Roo\, Mexico.

This program was largely financed by off-balance-sheet companies—known as local financing vehicles—that both borrowed and spent on behalf of local governments. These companies have continued to grow since the stimulus program concluded at the end of 2010\; their spending has accounted for roughly 10 percent of GDP each year\, with an increasing share used for what are essentially commercial projects. And their spending has likely been responsible for an increase of 5 percentage points in the aggregate investment rate and for part of the decline of 7 to 8 percentage points in the current account surplus since 2008. We argue that local governments have used their new access to financial resources to facilitate favored businesses’ access to capital\, which potentially worsens the overall efficiency of capital allocation. The long-run effect of offbalance-sheet spending by local governments may be a permanent decline in the growth rate of aggregate productivity and GDP.

Two strong “rules of speciation” implicate a special role for sex chromosomes in the evolution of postzygotic genetic incompatibilities: Haldane’s rule\, the observation that hybrids of the heterogametic (XY or ZW) sex preferentially suffer hybrid sterility and inviability\; and the large X-effect\, the observation that the X chromosome has a disproportionately large effect on hybrid sterility. Despite decades of effort\, why the X chromosome plays a special role in speciation remains unclear. I will present results from our integrated genetic and genomic studies of speciation among the three closely related species of the Drosophila simulans species complex— D. simulans\, D. sechellia\, and D. mauritiana. Our high-resolution genetic mapping studies\, speciation genomics analyses\, and molecular identification of a new hybrid sterility gene enable new inferences about the molecular and evolutionary basis of the large X-effect and its consequences for speciation.\n \nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m. UID:36331-5562281@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/36331 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Discussion,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170306T155858 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170406T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170406T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Faeth Memorial Lecture | Data-Enabled Design for Combustion Dynamics in Propulsion Engines DESCRIPTION:This lecture will address a multi-fidelity modeling strategy to facilitate data-enabled design of combustion devices for propulsion engines. As a specific example\, the issue of combustion instability (unsteady flow motions in combustion chambers) will be discussed. An interdisciplinary research program is under way\, focused on the development of an efficient and robust capability to understand\, analyze\, and predict combustion dynamics in contemporary and future propulsion systems. This effort involves work in supercritical combustion\, combustion instability\, reduced-basis modeling (emulation)\, statistics\, uncertainty quantification\, and machine learning. Recent breakthroughs in modeling and data analytics techniques have been utilized to substantially improve the modeling capabilities at all levels. New techniques address issues specific to physics extraction and design evaluation of complex systems\, such as rocket and gas turbine engines. This research will enable effective and efficient (practical time-scale) surveys of all known parameters\, including design attributes and operating conditions\, and their effects on system stability behavior. The integrated approach described here starts with large eddy simulation (LES)-based high fidelity modeling and simulations of combustion dynamics in engines. Reduced-basis models and emulation then leverage the database established by the LES for physics-based data assimilation. Stochastic-based extraction of physics from complex flowfields provides faithful and interpretable representations of the underlying mechanisms. Feature extraction techniques are incorporated into a spatio-temporal surrogate model built on machine-learning techniques such as Gaussian process (GP) regression. Combined with statistical methodologies and control theories\, these techniques allow for an efficient survey of flow evolution and combustion dynamics\, with special attention to the identification of combustion response and gasdynamic driving mechanisms. Data-driven quantification of the transfer function between the identified mechanisms is achieved. Finally\, a system-level model is developed for effective and efficient assessment of the combustion stability behaviors of a practical system\, with complex geometry over a broad range of operating conditions.\n\nAbout our guest speaker...\n\nVigor Yang is the William R.

This Article challenges this notion. It argues that litigants can convey information indirectly\, through a variety of vehicles we call “litigation signals.” For instance\, by committing to “disarm” themselves of important preliminary claims\, litigants convey confidence to their rival. We employ a game-theoretical model to provide a comprehensive account and typology of litigation signals and to identify conditions under which different classes of signal are actually workable. A discussion on litigation signals entails wide policy implications. First\, the Article shows how litigation signals advance settlement by facilitating information flow between litigants. Second\, it sheds new light on the heated debate over discovery proceedings. Given the availability to voluntarily transmit information\, the detrimental effects of narrow discovery are more modest than they seem to be\; and the costs of broad discovery are exaggerated. Third\, the Article reveals specific litigation tactics that can be used as informative signals\, suggesting a more nuanced judicial treatment thereof. Finally\, the Article delineates procedures that courts could adopt to help parties transmit information more effectively.

Research has meanwhile proved beyond reasonable doubt that s allegation constitutes a wilful mystification. The direct source Pétis de la Croix exploited for the majority of tales was not Persian but rather an anonymous Ottoman Turkish manuscript titled Ferec baʿd eş-şidde (Relief after Hardship). The work\, first mentioned in Antoine Galland’s Istanbul diaries\, has been compiled before the end of the fourteenth century and undoubtedly constitutes a translation of one or several Persian works. Scholars of Persian and Ottoman studies\, such as Fritz Meier and Andreas Tietze\, have proposed a detailed discussion of the sources of Ferec baʿd eş-şidde since long\, but the detailed commentary Tietze intended to prepare on the work was never published. \nMy presentation will discuss the complicated relation between the early eighteenth-century French Mille et un Jours\, the fourteenth-century Ottoman Ferec baʿd eş-şidde\, and a genre of Persian literature that is known as Jāmeʿ al-ḥekāyāt (Compilation of Tales). Until recently\, the oldest representatives of the latter genre were known from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The recent discovery of a Jāmeʿ al-ḥekāyāt dating to the twelfth century opens up new perspectives on the relation of Pétis de la Croix’s text to the Ottoman Turkish and Persian texts.

This international workshop is hosted by the Department of the History of Art in cooperation with the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the University of Michigan Confucius Institute. Click on the link here to see the full workshop schedule: http://china-art-song.hart.lsa.umich.edu/\n\nAbstract: \n\nWang Wei (701-761)\, one of China’s greatest poets\, left a legacy of ineffable poetry that is still read and admired around the world. He is also remembered as a great painter despite the fact that not a single painting by him is known to have survived and the reasons for his stature have not been identified. Seeking to recover what remains of Wang’s lost art\, and to separate it from the debased replicas of his Wangchuan compositions said to have been copied by Guo Zhongshu (and many others)\, and the archaic snowy landscape handscrolls supposedly copied by Yan Wengui and Xu Daoning\, we find it inextricably imbedded in the very origins and identity of Song landscape painting itself. The painter Wang Wei who emerges from this examination was the peer of Dong Yuan and Fan Kuan\, and as important as Li Cheng and Guan Tong in establishing the character of Song landscape painting.\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nRichard M. Barnhart studied art history at Princeton University with Wen Fong and Shujiro Shimada\, and at Harvard University with Max Loehr. He spent most of his career teaching at Yale University and writing books and articles on Chinese art history. Since his retirement in 2000 he has lived with his wife Catherine on San Juan Island\, off the northwest coast\, and continues a lifelong dedication to the study of Song painting.
