SUMMARY:Spirits of Michigan’s Past: A Walking Tour of Forest Hill Cemetery

SUMMARY:Making Michigan: "To put living force into the symbols": Journeys of Anatol Rapoport
DESCRIPTION:Join the Bentley Historical Library for the newest installment in the Making Michigan lecture series. \nAs a boy\, Anatol Rapoport and his father succeeded in a daring escape from the Soviet Union. He went on to become a leading mathematical psychologist\, semanticist and game theorist\, making major contributions to the understanding of strategy\, conflict\, war\, and peace — always intent on tying strategic analysis to the conscientious appreciation of real human beings. As he wrote at one point\, “One cannot play chess if one becomes aware of the pieces as living souls . . . .” Rapoport spent a significant portion of his variegated career at U-M\, where among other things he helped found the Mental Health Research Institute and organize the first Teach-In\, on the Vietnam War. Join us for an exploration of Anatol Rapoport’s journeys — personal and intellectual — with three panelists: Shirli Kopelman\, leading researcher\, expert\, and educator in the field of negotiations at the U-M Ross School of Business; Anthony Rapoport\, son of Anatol and principal violist with Sinfonia Toronto and the Windermere Quartet; and Roger Rapoport\, LSA ’68\, award-winning author and filmmaker and author of “A Professor’s War for Peace.” \nThis event will take place at the Detroit Observatory and will also be streamed online. Advance registration is required for either the in-person or virtual event. \nRegistration for the in-person event can be found here: https://myumi.ch/wM4XX \nRegistration for the virtual event can be found here: https://myumi.ch/WJqP9
