SUMMARY:Celestial Heritage: Latin America's Skies and Women in Astronomy
DESCRIPTION:The Judy & Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory is excited to host U-M Astronomy‘s Professor Nuria Calvet and Professor Mario Mateo for two wonderful talks on Latin American astronomers and observatories. The talks will begin at 7:00 PM and will last 1 hour in total. Afterwards\, attendees will be welcome to tour the original 1854 Detroit Observatory and observe the night sky through its historic telescope. \nLos Ojos sobre el Cielo: Latin American Astronomical Facilities from Ancient times to the Modern World – Professor Mario Mateo \nI will provide a whirlwind tour of Latin American Astronomical Facilities that span the eras of pre-Columbian meso-American cultures\, to the present time. The more ancient sites were used by ancient societies to gauge the passage of time to remarkable accuracy. More modern astronomical centers in Latin America provided some of the key insights on the immense scale of our Universe while exploring some of the many cosmic structures best studied from the Southern Hemisphere. Modern facilities continue to build on this legacy through Latin American astronomical facilities–many among the finest in the world–to carry out detailed explorations of a wide range of exotic cosmic phenomena revealed by modern astrophysical studies. \nReflections on Life Lessons with a Latina Astronomer – Professor Nuria Calvet \nMany years ago\, I became a physicist with a major in astronomy in Latin America. In my long career as a female astronomer in both Latin America and the U.S.\, I have witnessed many changes and significant growth. In my talk\, I will tell you about the pioneering female astronomers in Argentina\, Brasil\, Mexico\, Venezuela and other countries in Latin America\, “las astrónomas” many of whom were my mentors and friends. I will share how they helped create strong communities in their countries where young women felt that astronomy was for everyone and believed they could do beautiful science. Today\, there are so many astrónomas that it is difficult to name them all\, but I will try to give you a glimpse into their successes. \nTelescope observing is weather dependent. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:”Not Just a Copy”: How the Bentley Digitized Ann Arbor’s History in the Ivory Photo Collection
DESCRIPTION:For half a century\, Mel Ivory took thousands of photographs of every corner of Ann Arbor and U-M. These images provide a priceless picture into the community’s past\, but were in danger of disintegrating–and even spontaneously combusting! \nAs part of Ann Arbor’s bicentennial celebrations\, Bentley archivists Michelle McClellan and Max Eckard helped lead an effort to digitize this massive collection. Join us to learn how the Ivory Collection has been preserved and made available to everyone. \nOnline registration can be found here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn person registration can be found here

SUMMARY:The Origins of the Law Quadrangle: A Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:This walking tour meets at the corner of S. University Ave. and State St.\, on the outer northwest corner of the Law Quad. \nHave you ever wondered about the history of the buildings that sit in the middle of campus that many associate with the Renaissance\, east coast Ivy Leagues\, or even Hogwarts? \nThis walking tour seeks to familiarize you not only with the illustrious\, imposing architecture of the Law Quadrangle here at the University of Michigan but also with the historic presence of the Law School itself. Over the course of 1.5 hours\, we will discuss the conception of the buildings themselves\, the winding roads it took to get there\, and the Law School’s many years of influence on social issues and legal education as we stroll through the Quad. Join us as we uncover stories and debunk myths about the distinctive University of Michigan Law Quadrangle.
