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.

As UM celebrates its Bicentennial year\, this exhibition asks how past traditions\, tensions\, and technologies have left material or cultural traces on campus space today. By laying bare rarely examined aspects of the historical university alongside radical designs for an unrealized present\, Persistent Pasts asks us to question entrenched conceptions of what UM should and could be\, architecturally and institutionally.

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.

She teaches courses on racial identity development\, urban education\, critical multiculturalism\, and critical race theory. Her research is broadly focused on issues of race\, culture\, and educational equity in P-12 and higher education settings. Dr. Carter Andrews is a former industrial engineer\, kindergarten teacher\, and high school math teacher\, with experience in urban\, suburban\, and independent schools.\n\nDr. Carter Andrews explores the elusive quest for equitable education for African Americans in the United States. She uses critical race theory as an analytical framework for examining the enduring inequitable access to educational opportunities that African Americans have experienced across time and learning spaces. Dr. Carter Andrews challenges us to consider what is required to ensure academic excellence for African American students in a neoliberal\, anti-Black \nsociopolitical climate. \n\nThis is the second of a six-lecture series. The subject is The African American Experience.

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

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

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

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

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.

I adduce various evidence to support my position\, inter alia\, from the earliest attestations of the words creole and pidgin\, the kinds of interactions that Europeans and non-Europeans held in the relevant contact settings (which are in geographic complementary distribution to each other)\, and the critical role that interpreters (the unsung heroes of colonization) played in the trade colonies where pidgins eventually emerged. Even the exploitation colonization of Africa depended for the longest on interpreters cum colonial auxiliaries. The relevant history of trade colonization suggests that the indigenous rulers on the coast of Africa\, South Asia\, China\, and the Pacific islands did not trade with European companies in pidgins but in closer approximations of the European languages spoken by the interpreters\, whose critical role as “go-betweens” or “intermediaries” turned them into important power brokers all the way into the exploitation colonization of the relevant territories in the 19th century\, with the exception of China. The available historical evidence suggests that pidgins lexified by European languages emerged later and\, like related creoles\, by basilectalization\, diverging farther away from their lexifiers. Once we factor in the fact that present “expanded pidgins” (e.g.\, Tok Pisin and Nigerian Pidgin English) remain in geographic complementary distribution with creoles\, we should give up the myth that the creoles evolved from erstwhile pidgins. Note that I don’t consider “expanded pidgins” to be creoles.

The former leads to unusual network properties when the redirection probability equals 1. For example\, the number of nodes of degree greater than 1 scales slower than linearly in the total number of nodes N. In the latter case\, a new node attaches to a randomly selected target node and also to each of its neighbors with probability p. The resulting network is sparse for p < 1/2 and dense (average degree increasing with number of nodes N) for p ≥ 1/2. The dense regime is especially rich. Individual network realizations are not self-averaging. There is also an infinite sequence of structural anomalies at p = 2/3\, 3/4\, 4/5\, etc.\, where the N dependences of the number of triangles (3-cliques)\, 4-cliques\, undergo phase transitions.

In 1990/91\, 2001 women living in the Melbourne metropolitan area were randomly selected\, and 779 met the entry criteria for the longitudinal follow-up (aged 45–55 years\, menstruating\, having a uterus and at least one ovary and not taking hormone therapy). Of these\, 438 agreed to be seen annually across the menopausal transition from 1992 to 1999. Longitudinal prospective follow-up since 2000 has continued intermittently (2002/03\, 2004/05\, 2012/13\, 2014/15). Data collection has included fasting biomarkers\, clinical assessment\, lifestyle and quality of life data\, physical measures and validated questionnaire data. Participants have consented to data linkage and\, to date\, mammogram and BioGrid data have been accessed. Biobank storage including serum\, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) storage and PAXgene tubes are maintained. The WHAP has contributed to over 200 publications in a variety of areas\, including: health and wellbeing\; mental and cognitive health\; bone health\; lifestyle\, vascular risk and prevention\; women’s health and hormonal transition\; and cross-cultural research. With all participants now aged over 70 years\, the cohort is ideally placed to answer key questions of healthy aging in women. Ongoing follow-up into older ages for this long-running cohort will enable the association between mid to late-life factors and healthy aging to be determined. This is particularly valuable for the examination of chronic diseases which have a 20–30 year prodrome and to provide knowledge on multiple morbidities. \n\nBrief Bio:\nAssociate Professor Cassandra is currently the Director of the Healthy Aging Program\, Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne and Professor at Institute for Health and Aging\, Australian Catholic University.

This transition was traditionally seen as a short\, war-ridden horizon reflecting the arrival of the Tumulus culture population. Recent research\, however\, emphasizes the complexity of these transformations\, and suggests a longer\, less abrupt transition\, in which existing Middle Bronze Age populations play a significant role in the formation of Late Bronze Age societies. Excavations in the early 1960s unearthed over 600 Bronze Age burials at the site of Tápé –Széntéglaégető. The cemetery is situated at the border zone of earlier Middle Bronze Age cultural groups and dates to the transitional phase. Considering its geographic location and chronological position\, the study of this cemetery provides an outstanding opportunity to understand how the interaction between different cultural groups shaped the expression of social identity and how social practices changed at the dawn of a new social\, political era. This presentation summarizes the first results of my analysis of the cemetery population\, focusing on understanding variation in the use of ornaments among different gender and age groups\, and comparing the results to the preceding Maros cultural practices.

For many Indigenous students\, the culture of educational institutions in the U.S.\, reflect a set of ideas and practices about what it means to be a \"good\" student\, the purpose of education\, and the nature of the relationship between teachers and students that are experienced as a cultural mismatch between their model of self and the model prevalent in mainstream educational contexts. The first set of studies empirically tests these cultural mismatches\, whereas the second set of studies builds on the strengths of Indigenous students to alleviate these mismatches and to positively influence motivation and academic performance.

L. Krivine's theorem states that for every Banach space X with a basis\, there exists a p in [1\, infinity] such that l_p is finitely block represented in X. The set of all such p's is called the Krivine set of X. As it was proved by H.P. Rosenthal\, this set is stabilized on some block subspace Y of X\, i.e. the Krivine set of Y and the corresponding one of any of its further block subspaces coincide. The form of such a stabilized Krivine set has been a subject of study\, since Rosenthal asked whether it always had to be a singleton. This question was answered negatively by E. Odell and Th. Schlumprecht by constructing a space having [1\, infinity] as its stabilized Krivine set. \n\nThe question that followed was if such a stabilized Krivine set had to be an interval\, which was asked by P. Habala and N. Tomczak-Jaegermann as well as by E. Odell. We answer this question in the negative direction by constructing\, for every subset F of [1\,infinity] which is either finite or consists of an increasing sequence and its limit\, a reflexive Banach space X with an unconditional basis such that for every infinite dimensional block subspace Y of X\, the Krivine set of Y is precisely F.\n\nThis construction also addresses some open problems concerning spreading models. \n\nThis is joint work with K. Beanland and D. Freeman.

Fourier and harmonic analysis) can be obtained when introducing randomization in the set of initial data and using powerful but still classical tools from probability as well. These ideas go back to seminal work by J. Bourgain on the invariance of Gibbs measures associated to dispersive PDE. We will first explain some of these ideas and review some recent probabilistic well-posedness results for NLS. We will then describe recent work of myself joint with Chanillo\, Czubak\, Mendelson and Staffilani in which we treat probabilistic well-posedness of a geometric wave equation with randomized supercritical data. If time permits\, we will discuss a work in progress about non-equilibrium invariant measures for resonant NLS (joint with Hani\, Mattingly\, Rey-Bellet and Staffilani).\n Speaker(s): Andrea Nahmod (UMASS\, Amherst) UID:38170-6980685@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/38170 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 4088 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170327T131224 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170413T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170413T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Lecture: Are Refugees a Security Risk? Using National Security and Human Rights Values to Protect Refugees and the Homeland DESCRIPTION:We are in the midst of the biggest refugee crisis since World War II. And yet refugees that hope to look to the United States for safe haven are encountering a political discourse that refers to walls\, travel bans\, and registries that invoke a bygone era in American history. Much of this discourse is animated by the understandable desire to make the homeland safe as possible. In doing so\, have we abandoned our democratic principles or are we simply embracing a new norm that necessitates more vigilance? Or\, perhaps\, a binary narrative can and should give way to one that seeks to interlace fundamental human rights principles with national security safeguards. If such a moderated path exists\, what does it look like and how do we find it? \n \nHardy Vieux\, is the legal direct of the Human Rights First. He leads and oversees management of the organization’s legal initiatives—including its pro bono legal representation\, amicus brief\, and legal outreach efforts. Hardy manages Human Rights First’s refugee representation work\, which pairs lawyers at the nation’s top law firms with indigent refugees in need of counsel. In 2014\, Hardy served as a policy fellow in the Middle East\, where he worked at Save the Children International in Amman\, Jordan. There\, he handled child protection policy issues impacting Syrian refugee children living in Jordan.

We use this massive dislocation in the microfinance market to identify the causal impacts of a reduction in credit supply on consumption\, entrepreneurship\, and employment in general equilibrium. Using a proprietary\, hand-collected district-level data set from 27 separate\, for-profit microlenders matched with household data from the National Sample Survey\, we find that district-level reductions in credit supply are associated with significant decreases in casual daily wages\, household wage earnings and consumption. Moreover\, we find significant heterogeneity by household landholdings\, consistent with an equilibrium model in which medium-wealth households scale back their businesses and landless households are hit by a fall in the wage.

I will then highlight the physiological\, epigenetic\, and genetic responses that animals use to cope with naturally variable environments. Specifically\, I will show how different components of the vertebrate stress response are shaped by different timescales of environmental variation\, how environmental conditions during development influence DNA methylation of the stress hormone receptor\, and how environmental change more broadly influences the evolution of that receptor. Together\, these studies will illustrate the many ways that animals respond to and cope with environmental change.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/eqgU4K3jh-g UID:39818-8382343@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/39818 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Ecology,Environment,Lecture,Research,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1200 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170405T130323 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170413T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170413T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: On Futures\, Past and Present DESCRIPTION:Amid economic turbulence\, environmental disaster\, and political shocks\, some observers today perceive a crisis of futurity\, manifested in an inability to imagine better times to come\, in a mythic embroidery of old times\, or in fears of bygone calamities now returned to haunt the world.

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.

As UM celebrates its Bicentennial year\, this exhibition asks how past traditions\, tensions\, and technologies have left material or cultural traces on campus space today. By laying bare rarely examined aspects of the historical university alongside radical designs for an unrealized present\, Persistent Pasts asks us to question entrenched conceptions of what UM should and could be\, architecturally and institutionally. This exhibition is supported in part by a Bicentennial Activity Grant\, co-authored by Claire Zimmerman and Sarah Rovang. \n\nThis exhibition will be on view in the Taubman College Gallery through May 19.

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. Gallery talk sponsored by the Center for Latina/o and Latin American Studies\, Wayne State University\, and the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative.

Under such conditions\, the horizon of expectation and hope may darken\, making it ever more difficult to mobilize effectively for change or even construct meaningful lives. \n\nOn Thursday\, two eminent and deeply engaged scholars\, historian Robin Blackburn and philosopher Nancy Fraser\, will address the problem of politics and vision in our time as well as present prospects for reopening the future. \n\nOn Friday\, University of Michigan faculty Lisa Disch (Political Science) and Kali Israel (History) will respond and join Blackburn and Fraser for discussion.\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

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.

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.

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.

He investigates how low-level bodily processes help construct and are in turn influenced by higher-level mental processes\, often leading to quirky effects (e.g.\, physical cleansing helps people move on by “wiping the slate clean”\; when people “smell something fishy\,” they become suspicious and invest less money in a trust-dependent economic game).\nIn terms of theoretical goals\, he explores how the mind interacts with the body through multiple mechanisms\; why mind-body relations are often predicted by the metaphors we use\; when and how metaphors influence judgments\, feelings\, and behaviors\; what cognitive principles govern embodied effects\; and how they vary by experimental\, social\, and cultural contexts.\nHis work has been published in leading journals such as Science\, Psychological Bulletin\, Psychological Science\, Journal of Experimental Psychology: General\, and Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. He received the 2010 Early Graduate Student Researcher Award by the American Psychological Association and the 2016 Rising Star designation by the Association for Psychological Science.

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.

A large body of literature has documented the association between IPV and adverse mental and sexual health outcomes\; however\, very few studies have conceptualized or empirically tested how the experience of IPV-related stigma influences these relationships. The stigma associated with IPV is often overlooked as an important social factor that may have detrimental effects on the mental and sexual health of people who experience IPV. In this talk\, I will highlight the Intimate Partner Violence Stigmatization Model (Overstreet &\; Quinn\, 2013) and I will discuss two empirical studies that test this model.

Despite the fact that “waiting is … a key dimension of modernity\,” as Craig Jeffrey claims\, it “is a temporal region hardly mapped and badly documented” (Harold Schweizer). The moment has come to delve into how those who waited increased their awareness of time as well as of themselves and their place in the world. By bringing waiting in history to the fore\, this proect seeks to lead the debate on time away from the existential themes that have dominated its exploration. This first foray into this new terrain is therefore less interested in the final truths about time’s essence than in the temporal poetics of the everyday. \n\nFree and open to the public.

We show that in dimensions three and higher\, knowing the distance near a fixed strictly convex boundary point allows us to reconstruct the metric inside the domain near that point\, and that this reconstruction is stable. We also prove semi-global and global results under certain convexity conditions. The problem can be reformulated as a recovery of the metric from the arrival times of waves between boundary points\; which is known as travel-time tomography. The interest in this problem is motivated by imaging problems in seismology: to recover the sub-surface structure of the Earth given travel-times from the propagation of seismic waves. In oil exploration\, the seismic signals are man-made and the problem is local in nature. In particular\, we can recover locally the compressional and the shear wave speeds for the elastic Earth model\, given local information. The talk is based on joint work with Uhlmann (UW) and Vasy (Stanford).

Such variation has been interpreted as symptomatic of alternate grammars punctuating a creole continuum consisting of a basilect\, acrolect and mesolect (Le Page and Tabouret-Keller\, 1985). However\, I have shown in Baptista (2015) that distinct creole varieties (Santiago and São Vicente) of Cape Verdean Creole that have been traditionally described as basilectal and acrolectal do not uphold such characterization upon closer examination of their grammatical systems and of the speech patterns of individual speakers. In Baptista (2015)\, a careful analysis of the Santiago and São Vicente varieties of Cape Verdean Creole showed that Santiago for instance which has been typically described as basilectal actually displayed acrolectal features in core domains such as gender agreement and Tense\, Mood and Aspect markers (TMA). The study of individual speakers also demonstrated that the same speaker may display speech patterns that swing like a pendulum between the acrolect and basilect. This study brought in plain view the descriptive inadequacy of the labels basilect\, acrolect and mesolect and challenged well-established claims regarding the status of the Santiago and São Vicente on the Cape Verdean Creole continuum. \n In light of the inadequacy of the creole continuum\, I propose in this paper an alternative approach to the examination of variation observed in creoles. The main research questions driving this study are as follows: Is the variation observed in creoles better accounted for in terms of competing I-grammars that emerge over time? Would this new lens help us attain a higher level of descriptive and explanatory adequacy than the creole continuum provides? \n In order to fully explore this topic\, I carefully examine synchronic and diachronic data as well as acquisition scenarios by targeting the TMA system of Cape Verdean Creole (CVC) and by comparing the degrees of variation that this particular creole displays at these three levels. \n This paper is organized as follows. Following the introduction\, in the second section\, I lay out the traditional definition of the creole continuum and briefly summarize the arguments I made in Baptista (2015)\, pointing to its limitations and descriptive inadequacy. In the third section\, I turn to the framework of competing I-grammars which I argue is a more descriptively and explanatorily adequate approach to analyzing the observed variation. I provide a definition of I-language in light of competing I-grammars\, drawing from Lightfoot (2006)\, Yang (2002)\, Obata & Epstein (2015) and Epstein (2016) and show how the approach of competing I-grammars applies to the synchronic study of TMA markers in the creole under investigation. In the fourth section\, I elaborate on a possible scenario of acquisition of TMA markers in CVC using diachronic texts in support of such scenario and in the fifth section\, I propose a syntactic analysis accounting for their synchronic distribution. The sixth section summarizes the key findings of this study.

In the presence of elevated CO2 concentrations\, plants are expected to respond through increased photosynthesis and reduced stomatal conductance. However\, the impacts of these vegetation changes on regional and global climate are largely unknown. In this talk\, I’ll use a suite of earth system model experiments to understand and estimate the contribution of CO2-induced vegetation changes to projections of future anthropogenic climate change. I’ll show that a reduction in stomatal conductance is the primary means by which elevated CO2 impacts vegetation’s role as a climate change agent. As stomatal conductance goes down\, vegetation pumps less subsurface water to the boundary layer\, altering energy and moisture fluxes throughout forested regions of the tropics and mid to high latitudes. These flux changes have a substantial impact on the spatial pattern and intensity of rainfall\, as well as the frequency and duration of extreme temperature events. Though there remains considerable uncertainty in the representation of vegetation physiology in climate models\, the results suggest that the response of vegetation to elevated CO2 may be as important as the radiative impact of CO2 in shaping climate change in some forested regions.

This raises the question of how cells can achieve size-dependent signals coordinating growth and division. Recently\, we showed that budding yeast size control results from cell size-independent synthesis of the cell cycle inhibitor Whi5 and size-proportional synthesis of the cell cycle activator Cln3. Larger cells have a higher ratio of cell cycle activator to inhibitor\, which triggers division. This raised two key questions: (1) To what extent do individual genes’ expression deviate from constant concentration? (2) What are the molecular mechanisms that determine whether gene expression depends on cell size? To address these questions\, we examined the yeast GFP-fusion library. We identified approximately 200 proteins whose abundance does not scale with cell size. Many of these genes are involved in membrane transport and DNA-templated processes\, which do not scale proportionally with cell size. A targeted analysis of WHI5 and histone genes suggest cells employ both transcriptional control and protein degradation for coordinating gene expression with size. Thus\, our work demonstrates a functional role for differential size-dependency of protein synthesis and gives insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms. We also discuss how these principles can be applied to understanding how growth and division are coupled in mammalian cells.

The Late Horizon is defined by the presence of the expansionist Inca Empire in the Chincha Valley. From ethnohistoric sources and archaeological research we know that the Inca installed joint rule alongside the local Chincha elites. Under joint rule the Inca carefully developed and established their authority alongside that of the local Chincha. In order to understand the implications of this joint rule for the entire Chincha Valley I will look at settlement patterns for the lower valley and excavation data from the large urban agricultural center Las Huacas. The settlement pattern data for the Chincha Valley while rich\, is restricted by the limited ability of researchers to differentiate between Late Intermediate Period (AD1100-1470) and Late Horizon occupations from the surface. This is a crucial distinction for understanding which changes in settlement pattern occurred during the Late Horizon under Inca occupation and which are the product of local socio-politcal development. I will conclude with a discussion of the organization of Chincha urbanism and highlight future lines of research for understanding how it may or may not have changed under joint rule. \n\nMartin Menz\, Doctoral Student in Anthropology: \nDomestic Craft Production and Exchange in the Woodland Period Deep South\n\nArchaeological considerations of craft production and specialization in the American Southeast have often focused on elaborate prestige goods crafted from exotic materials. Less frequently studied is the potential for specialized production of mundane household goods. Here I review the evidence for craft production and exchange from Kolomoki\, a large Middle-to-Late Woodland period (A.D. 300-850) village and mound complex in southwestern Georgia\, and attempt to situate it within a series of exchange networks predicated upon periodic ritual gatherings and regional interaction. I argue that periodic convergence at Kolomoki and other mound centers temporarily brought together individuals from various ecological and geological zones\, providing an outlet for craft producers and visitors to exchange raw materials and finished goods.\n\nReception 5:30 PM\, Lecture 6:00 PM. \n\nFAST lectures are free and open to the public.

The first items produced by the company are dated to 1715. Soltis’ porcelain flowers in this tradition are assembled meticulously petal by petal. She studied ceramics at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit\, Michigan and is interested in European history and fiction.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In particular\, we consider waveguides with rough walls and cross sectional width that varies slowly. Roughness means fast and small fluctuations that occur on the scale of the wavelength. The roughness in the walls is unknown in applications and so we model it as a random process to study the propagation of uncertainty in the walls to uncertainty in the wavefield. The slow variations occur on a scale much larger than the wavelength and cause jumps in the number of propagating modes supported by the guide. Here we present a mathematical analysis from first principles of waves in waveguides with an arbitrary but finite number of turning points and use our analysis to quantify randomization of the wavefield and transport of power in the guide.

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.

Chinese Spinoza in Malebranche: The Immanence of Order as a Metaphysical Heresy DESCRIPTION:Commentators will include: Professor Nina Zhiri (Department of Literature\, UC San Diego)\, Azfar Moin (S Asia\; Religious Studies\, UT Austin)\, and Megan Behrend (a PhD student in English and UM). \n\nSeventeenth and eighteenth-century European engagements with Chinese intellectual schools were largely concerned about the compatibility of Confucianism with Christian beliefs. A particular area of concern was the extent to which the Chinese should be charged with atheism or pantheism. In these controversies\, the Dutch philosopher Spinoza was sometimes used as a mouthpiece for the Chinese\, as he was the poster boy for both atheism and pantheism\, depending on how he was interpreted. Similar to the way Spinoza’s system posed different kinds of threats to different Christian thinkers\, different Christian intellectuals found different kinds of enemies in “Chinese thought.” The French Cartesian thinker Nicholas Malebranche was among the intellectuals who speculated on how to interpret Chinese philosophy in his Dialogue between a Christian Philosopher and a Chinese Philosopher on the Existence and Nature of God (1708). In Malebranche’s work\, the Chinese are represented by Neo-Confucians\, whom he construes in the image of Spinoza. Unlike someone like Leibniz who was still committed to intercultural dialogue\, Malebranche’s account of “Chinese philosophy” was particularly unsympathetic and dismissive. This paper traces the Spinozistic elements in Malebranche’s own reading of Chinese philosophy and interpretation of Neo-Confucian conceptual vocabulary. It demarcates the contours of the enemy that Malebranche projected onto Chinese philosophy through an examination of the specific discrepancies between his metaphysical system and that of Spinoza. It demonstrates that in his engagement with the Chinese through Spinoza\, a major source of concern for Malebranche was the issue of the source of order within nature.

We examine whether this requirement affects support for these programs using both a laboratory experiment with a standard subject pool and a field experiment with nearly 5\,000 nationally representative Americans. Participants are asked to support a food aid program through a donation\, under one of several conditions: 1) when the recipient makes no contribution 2) when the recipient pays 10% of the cost 3) when the recipient pays 50% of the cost and 4) when the recipient has to expend time to receive the food. In both studies\, we find that small monetary contributions by recipients increase support for the program compared to both no contribution and high monetary contributions. Contributions of time by the recipient also increase donations. We examine potential mechanisms for these results and find evidence that donors prefer when recipients have `skin in the game' as a means of targeting those who most need and value the good.

More precisely\, we show that if a Calabi-Yau admits a \"Tyurin degeneration\" to a union of two Fano varieties\, then one should be able to construct a mirror to that Calabi-Yau by gluing together the Landau-Ginzburg models of those two Fano varieties. We provide evidence for this correspondence in a number of different settings\, including Batyrev-Borisov mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces and Calabi-Yau threefolds\, Dolgachev-Nikulin mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces\, and explicit families of threefolds that are not realized as complete intersections in toric varieties. This is largely based on our contribution to the String-Math 2015 proceedings\, arXiv:1601.08110v3 \, with some important updates.\n\nThe second talk\, based on arXiv:1701.03279v1\, provides a classification of threefolds fibred by K3 surfaces admitting a lattice polarization by a certain class of rank 19 lattices. We begin by showing that any family of such K3 surfaces is completely determined by a map from the base of the family to the appropriate moduli space of K3 surfaces\, which we call the \"generalized functional invariant\". Then we show that if the threefold total space is a smooth Calabi-Yau\, there are only finitely many possibilities for the polarizing lattice and the form of the generalized functional invariant. This last makes essential use of our work on \"Hodge Numbers from Picard-Fuchs Equations\" in arXiv:1612.09439v1 (which builds off of recent work of Eskin\, Kontsevich\, Moller\, and Zorich). Finally\, we construct explicit examples of Calabi-Yau threefolds realizing each case and compute their Hodge numbers. A mirror-symmetric interpretation of the classification reveals perfect agreement with the predictions of the DHT Conjecture.

Their limit distributions can be expressed as Fredholm determinants of integral operators associated to kernels built out of Meijer G-functions or Wright's generalized Bessel functions. They generalize in a natural way the hard edge Bessel kernel Fredholm determinant. We express the logarithmic derivatives of the Fredholm determinants identically in terms of a 2x2 Riemann-Hilbert problem\, and use this representation to obtain the so-called large gap asymptotics.

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.

A network is realised by a graph typically constituted by a large number of nodes/links. Fluid and magnetic models in physics are just two among many classical examples of systems which can be modelled by simple or complex networks. In particular \"extreme\" conditions (thermodynamic regime)\, networks\, just like fluids and magnets\, exhibit a critical collective behavior intended as a drastic change of state due to a continuous change of the model parameters. Using an approach to thermodynamics\, recently introduced to describe a general class of van der Waals type models and magnetic systems in mean field approximation\, we analyse the integrable structure of corresponding networks and use the theory of integrable conservation laws combined with a suitable \"dressing\" procedure to calculate order parameters outside and inside the critical region.

I discuss recent psychology research showing common biases people display when judging their skill and know-how\, the costs (and occasional benefits) of those biases\, as well as describe best practices to potentially avoid them. It all boils down to following this wise\, old admonishment: When arguing with a fool\, just make sure that the other person is not likewise engaged.\n \nDavid Dunning is Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan and Faculty Affiliate of the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute of Social Research. He taught for several years at Cornell University\, where he is Professor Emeritus. An author\, co-author\, or co-editor of nearly 150 journal articles\, book chapters\, commentaries\, and reviews\, he has served as president of the Society of Experimental Social Psychology and the Society for the Study of Motivation. He received the 2016 Award for Lifetime Achievement from the International Society for Self and Identity\, and has written articles for the Chronicle of Higher Education\, Politico\, Quartz\, Pacific Standard\, Scientific American MIND\, and the Guardian (UK). His work has been funded by the National Science Foundation\, National Institutes of Health\, and the Templeton Foundation\, as well as featured in more popular outlets as diverse as the New York Times\, This American Life\, and Doonesbury.

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.

As UM celebrates its Bicentennial year\, this exhibition asks how past traditions\, tensions\, and technologies have left material or cultural traces on campus space today. By laying bare rarely examined aspects of the historical university alongside radical designs for an unrealized present\, Persistent Pasts asks us to question entrenched conceptions of what UM should and could be\, architecturally and institutionally. This exhibition is supported in part by a Bicentennial Activity Grant\, co-authored by Claire Zimmerman and Sarah Rovang. \n\nThis exhibition will be on view in the Taubman College Gallery through May 19. The college gallery is open Monday - Friday\, 9am - 5pm. \n\nThere will be an presentation and panel on Friday\, April 7 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by a reception in the college gallery.

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.

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.

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.

After the Age of Discovery in 15th century\, the trading areas of Canton expanded from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. From 1757 to 1840\, the Canton System made this city one of the centers of world trades. During this period\, Canton was at both the heart of the trades and the front of cultural interactions between the East and the West. As a result of this context\, a golden age came for various Canton arts and crafts. \n\nTake the examples of Canton painted enamels and export fans. Under the background of the sea trade\, there were active interactions between Canton\, the Imperial Workshops and the export arts and crafts. The craft of painted enamels was introduced by French missionaries first into Canton and then to the Court. The Canton Customs thus manufactured the painted enamels according to the orders from the Imperial Workshops\, which drove the development of the craft of Canton painted enamels. As a result of this improvement\, the Canton painted enamel products were in turn sold in great amount to Europe and America. The export fans\, however\, took another path. Since the very early period the folding fans have been popular and made the tributes to the Court. From the mid-18th century\, the folding fans were exported from Canton. The great scale of this exportation hit heavily at the fan manufactures of Britain and France. For one thing\, many of Canton export fans were customized in order to carter to the foreign markets. Therefore the designs on the fans reflected a Western influence. For another\, European fan manufactures were also deeply affected by Canton export fans. There were European fans which had sticks and guards produced in Canton while leaves processed in Europe. There were also fan designs that were influenced by the Chinoiserie style in vogue. The above examples showed that Canton and the arts and crafts in this city have become the frontier of technological and cultural interactions of the East and the West. \n\nDr. Huang Haiyan accomplished her Ph.D. program from the Department of History of Sun Yat-Sen University\, China. Her Ph.D. thesis focused on the urban-rural relationships of Ming and Qing dynasties through an investigation into the ancestral halls established by the clans with the same surname in the south-east coast of China during that period. Recent years\, her interest has shifted to the arts and crafts of Guangdong of Ming and Qing dynasties. Basing on the studies of the collection of Guangdong Folk Arts Museum\, she is dedicated to the topics concerning the developments of Canton arts and crafts under the background of East-West trades and cultural interactions and curated many special exhibitions.

This may be formulated mathematically as a relationship between the Gromov-Witten theory of one member of a mirror pair and the solutions to Picard-Fuchs equations around the other. In the 1990s\, Borcea-Voisin threefolds provided one of the first major classes of Calabi-Yau threefolds for which this conjecture was demonstrated at the Hodge diamond level\, but at the Gromov-Witten level this was long poorly understood. A second compatible duality is the Landau Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence\, which relates Calabi-Yau manifolds to systems arising from models of superconductivity\, and has been recently generalised to a correspondence of gauged linear sigma models\, often via certain intermediate theories. In this thesis we show both of these dualities hold for a range of Borcea-Voisin threefolds in the genus zero case.

We build a sticky-price model where aggregate demand depends on liquidity\, as heterogeneous consumers hold money in face of uninsurable risk and participate infrequently in .nancial markets. The model is tractable and can be solved in closed form. A novel trade-o. for Ramsey-optimal monetary policy emerges between inequality and standard stabilization objectives. Inequality appears in the \"loss function\" (a second-order approximation to aggregate welfare). Price stability has signi.cant welfare costs: in.ation volatility is optimal because it insures constrained agents by hindering their consumption volatility.

In disease states\, these modification networks get altered disrupting normal cellular processes. Understanding the modifications of a particular cell or protein network in diseased and normal states will provide insight into the physiological and pathological processes of those diseases at a molecular level. The major challenge at this moment is the reliable identification and quantification of protein networks and post-translational lipid modifications in large-scale studies. PTM abundances are low\, and their different structures require the development of new methods to suitably identify them with confidence in large-scales samples. A mass spectrometer is indispensable in proteomics research due to its sensitivity and speed. Chemistry-based approaches combined with mass spectrometry have become very popular due to their ability to enrich low abundance modifications\; furthermore\, different features can be implemented in the chemical probes so they can be confidently identified by mass spectrometry. In this regard\, mass spectrometry cleavable strategies are also very popular because the modified peptides can be tracked by the signature mass generated in the mass spectra. This signature mass allows large-scale samples to be analyzed very efficiently. In this seminar\, several chemical proteomics methods will be presented\, which can be utilized for identifying large-scale protein-protein interaction networks and lipid modifications of proteins.\n\n\nSaiful Chowdhury (University of Texas\, Arlington) UID:38805-7409911@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/38805 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - CHEM 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170407T081440 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170418T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170418T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:SIMTalks: Debriefing Strategies to Achieve Learning Outcomes DESCRIPTION:Join U-M School of Nursing's Michelle Aebersold\, Director of Simulation and Educational Innovation\, for the inaugural SIMTalk (Simulation\, Innovation\, Michigan).

Revolutionary Change and the Prospects for Democracy: Appraising the Impact of Leninist Violence on Postcommunist Regime Outcomes DESCRIPTION:Revolutionary violence has two distinct impacts that need to be theorized on different time horizons. Comparative historical research will benefit from recalling the distinction between the short-run\, retarding effects of violence for democratic change and its sometimes unintended salutary long-run impact. Revolutionary change predicated on violence is by its nature highly anti-democratic. It destroys interpersonal trust and paves the way for dictatorial regimes whose behavioral and institutional legacies pose an impediment to future attempts at democratization. At the same time\, it also creates forms of socio-structural\, institutional\, and cultural change that work in the long-term and whose impact on future attempts at democratization need not be only negative. Conceptualizing\, disentangling\, and illustrating these mixed legacies is the main contribution of this paper. Michael Bernhard will explicitly connect the two dimensions--short and long run effects--and tease out the conditions under which the second can have a positive impact on democratic regime building. The history of Western liberalism is inextricably caught up in violent transformation\; where this violence is absent\, revolutionary breakthroughs at the social level rarely occur. At the same time\, violence on its own is no guarantor of long run democratic consolidation. This lecture extends the empirical analysis from the West to that of the communist and post-communist world in order to illustrate how political development and violence relate to each in the wake of different pre-democratic legacies. \n\nMichael Bernhard holds the Raymond and Miriam Ehrlich Chair in Political Science at the University of Florida. His work centers on questions of democratization and development\, both globally and in the context of Europe. Among the issues that have figured prominently in his research agenda are the role of civil society in democratization\, institutional choice in new democracies\, the political economy of democratic survival\, and the legacy of extreme forms of dictatorship.

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.

This exhibition is supported in part by a Bicentennial Activity Grant\, co-authored by Claire Zimmerman and Sarah Rovang. \n\nThis exhibition will be on view in the Taubman College Gallery through May 19.

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.

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.

When the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry is evoked to solve the strong CP problem\, the axion becomes another viable candidate. The axion's scalar superpartner\, the saxion\, however significantly changes the conventional picture. During inflation\, a potential for saxions is induced and displaces the saxion field value away from the vev today. This results in a large saxion condensate that dominates the energy density of the Universe. The saxion subsequently decays to the particles in the thermal bath\, generating a large amount of entropy and diluting the dark matter abundance. We focus on the cases where dark matter is the axion from the misalignment mechanism\, or the axino/gravitino LSP that arises from the thermal scattering and Freeze-In processes. The former case allows the PQ symmetry and grand unification to be of the same origin\, whereas the latter case allows a high reheat temperature after inflation\, solving the axino/graviton problems. We will also discuss interesting phenomenology for this class of theories\, e.g. dark radiation and displaced vertices at colliders.

'Hurwitz correspondences' are a class of multivalued maps (similar to the 'square root' map on the set of complex numbers) from M_{0\,n} to itself. They arise in topology and Teichmuller theory by works of Thurston and Koch. I will introduce both M_{0\,n} and Hurwitz correspondences\, and talk about the latter from the point of view of complex dynamics.

I will introduce Gromov-Witten invariants of a smooth complex projective variety X\, and show how an equivariant structure on a X can help us compute its Gromov-Witten invariants. In the case when X is a toric variety\, Kontsevich used this method to compute any Gromov-Witten invariant of X. Givental and Lian-Liu-Yau used Kontsevich's strategy to prove a mirror theorem\, which states that Gromov-Witten invariants of X have an interesting rigid structure predicted by physicists. I will discuss the difficulties that arise when X is not toric. The subject of my thesis is the nontoric orbifold X=Sym^d(P^r)\, the symmetric product of projective space. By studying the equivariant geometry of Sym^d(P^r) I extend the results of Kontsevich to Sym^d(P^r)\, and prove a mirror theorem for Sym^d(P^r).

In this context\, one would like to understand the largest eigenvalues of the matrix (and the corresponding eigenvectors) to perform a principal component analysis. We will discuss the regime in which the random perturbation is of the same size (in the appropriate sense) as the original matrix\, on the example of beta Gaussian random matrix ensembles with one spike. In this case\, the process of largest eigenvalues can be described by a functional of a reflected Brownian motion.

This paper hypothesizes that the Rust Belt declined in large part due to the persistent labor market conflict which was prevalent throughout the Rust Belt’s main industries. We formalize this thesis in a two-region dynamic general equilibrium model in which labor market conflict leads to a hold-up problem in the Rust Belt that reduces investment and productivity growth and leads employment to move from the Rust Belt to the rest of the country. Quantitatively\, the model accounts for much of the large secular decline in the Rust Belt’s employment share before the 1980s\, and its relative stabilization since then\, once labor conflict decreased. The model also includes a foreign sector to assess the alternative hypothesis that higher imports were behind the Rust Belt’s decline. This hypothesis is inconsistent with the timing of the Rust Belt’s decline.

This talk discusses how we can more successfully build a research infrastructure for this frontline of experience\, through reducing the cost of research tools\, developing open source collaborative software for research such as publiclab.org (link is external) and creating community-academic partnerships. Through analyzing a community based project using photographic paper to map hydrogen sulfide\, a neurotoxic gas\, associated with natural gas and oil extraction\, this talk explores how we can collaboratively redesign our research and advocacy to support the systematic grassroots study of industrial infrastructure.\n\nSpeaker Bio: Sara Wylie (link is external) seeks to develop new modes of studying and intervening in large-scale social issues such endocrine disrupting chemicals through a fusion of social scientific\, scientific and art/design practices. Dr. Wylie is director of Toxics and Health Research for Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science\, and has a joint appointment between health sciences and the Department of Sociology and Anthropology as part of Northeastern’s Social Science and Environmental Health Research Institute. She completed her PhD in MIT’s History\, Anthropology\, Science\, Technology and Society (HASTS) Program in 2011. Her dissertation\, entitled “Corporate Bodies and Chemical Bonds: an STS analysis of the American Natural Gas Industry\,” involved ethnographic study with The Endocrine Disruption Exchange\, a non-profit founded by Theo Colborn\, lead author of Our Stolen Future\, whose independent research on chemicals used in natural gas extraction influenced national discussions of hydraulic fracturing. Ethnographic study with this organization and communities experiencing natural gas extraction led her to develop web-based tools to help communities and experts across the country study and hold extractive industries accountable for their social and environmental impacts. This project called ExtrAct was developed in collaboration with artist and technologist Chris Csikszentmihalyi\, in MIT’s Center for Civic Media. Following her interest in digital media\, Wylie taught classes on practicing social science critique of science and technology through art and design and co-lead a research group with Jeff Warren on Environmental Justice in Rhode Island School of Design’s (RISD)\, Digital+Media Department. In 2011 Wylie co-founded a non-profit dedicated to developing open source\, Do-It-Yourself tools for community based environmental health research\, Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science (PLOTS-publiclaboratory.org). PLOTS won a Knight Foundation’s News Challenge Grant in the summer of 2011.\n\nCo-sponsors: Environmental Health Sciences and Center for Research on Ethnicity\, Culture & Health (CRECH) (link is external)\n\n \nhttps://fordschool.umich.edu/events/2017/toward-civic-technoscience UID:40475-8575953@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/40475 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Graduate School,Public Health,Public Policy,Rackham,Science,Sociology LOCATION:Weill Hall (Ford School) - 1110 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170412T160147 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20170419T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20170419T190000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Women in Computing: There Are No Limits!
