Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college\, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota\, where no skyscrapers exist\, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia. After returning home to Detroit\, Glazer began his griot series\, the “Motor City Griot Society” masks\, the faces of the superheroes that will save Detroit\, and more recently the “Motor City Griot Patrol” creatures that will protect the city of Detroit.

She collects and arranges images\, builds and subtracts\, and uses processes that suit the concepts and gives the pieces a reason for existing as textiles. Simultaneously she strives to make the medium influence the outcome in such a way that cloth and image meld together. Moran uses silkscreen\, shibori\, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly\, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.\n\nGallery hours: Monday-Friday\, 9 am to 5pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu UID:124224-21852705@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124224 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Free,Graduate Students,North Campus,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240829T141316 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241011T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241011T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Butch Closet DESCRIPTION:In the multi-media installation *The Butch Closet*\, artist Phranc illustrates her life stories as a queer artist\, Jewish lesbian folk singer\, and \"cardboard cobbler.\" By meticulously re-creating personal objects and pieces of clothing out of paper\, cardboard\, thread\, and paint\, she revisits her own history\, contextualizing her experiences as an iconic performer\, and maker\, constructing\, reconstructing\, and re-imagining her image against a larger historical context of second-wave feminism and queer activism. The institute's presentation of *The Butch Closet* is the second iteration of the project\, offering a more intimate and immersive engagement with Phranc's sculptural works. As part of the installation\, visitors can peer into a closet built in the center of the gallery designed by the artist. Conceptually\, the space shifts from inside to outside\, public and private\, and explores themes of visibility and that which remains inaccessible or unseen.\n\nAbout the artist:\nPhranc is a jewish lesbian folksinger and queer artist who uses song\, painting and sculpture to champion personal identities and illustrate the struggle\, survival\, and victory of the queer individual. An internationally acclaimed and award winning performer. Phranc’s work integrates humor and a butch lesbian aesthetic. Her current project\, Phranc Talk: The Butch Closet\, is a multi-media memoir that spans her 40-year career. Phranc lives and works in Santa Monica\, California and Vancouver\, British Columbia.\n\n*Phranc is the 2024 Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.* UID:123255-21850628@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/123255 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:american culture,Art,Exhibition,Feminism,Gender,Humanities,LGBT,visual arts LOCATION:Thayer Academic Building - Institute for the Humanities Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241011T103439 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241011T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241011T190000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Noon at Night Presents: Refuse Refuse Radio DESCRIPTION:Noon at Night presents a day of participatory climate emergency adaptation workshops\, culminating in a speculative fiction radio theatre performance in Winter 2025.\n\nPlease join us at University of Michigan-Ann Arbor's campus Friday\, October 11\, 2024 to map the unique climate disaster vulnerability among our communities and collectively design creative responses towards adaptation.\n\nSPOTS ARE LIMITED\; JOIN FOR ONE WORKSHOP OR ALL DAY!\n\nThroughout the day\, workshop participants will build an acoustic archive of our material and relational discards that will be placed in a time capsule\, refusing a condition of panic and precarity and recognizing those things and people that we typically dispose of as integral to our interdependent sustenance.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621413@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241026T123148 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241011T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241011T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Fisher Investments Presents: Women in Finance DESCRIPTION:Are you exploring ways to launch your career in the financeindustry upon graduation?

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

Our four panelists will explore the movement and management of dolphins\, minerals\, cattle\, and wheat as they trace the ways in which the material and the beyond-human circumscribe the agencies of humans as they enact their own. As they go beyond the “human” in our search for historical actors\, this panel will also consider how this shift in understanding who is able to exert historical agency may also necessitate a shift in scale and methodology. \n\nPanelists:\nGrant Halliday (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nIsmael Pardo (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nQingyi Zeng (Graduate Student\, Comparative Literature\, University of Michigan)\nYipeng Zhou (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nDouglas Northrop (Professor\; History\, Middle East Studies\; University of Michigan\; moderator)\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

The dupe negative of the last surviving Filipino film on nitrate\, Ibong Adarna (Adarna Bird\, dir. Vicente Salumbides and Manuel Conde\, 1941)\, was destroyed shortly after its 2005 restoration.\n \n Drawing on postcolonial historiography\, archival theory\, and the on-the-ground realities of the Philippines’ decentralized audiovisual archive advocacy\, this talk examines three issues that emerge as keywords for the crises of moving image preservation in the Philippines. First\, archival silences\, which comprise not only the “lost films” of Philippine cinema but also the absences that are constitutive of the production of historical narratives. Second\, archival power\, which names dynamics of inclusion/exclusion in the production of historical narratives\, as well as archival practices of appraisal that institutionalize a minute percentage of extant records. Finally\, activism\, advocacy\, and “making do” — creative workarounds that have emerged to ensure the archival survival of Philippine cinema — are also expressions of archival power. In response to my research request for access copies of 16mm propaganda films made in 1971-72\, on the eve of the Marcos dictatorship’s declaration of Martial Law (PFM’s Declaration of Martial Law and From a Season of Strife)\, a handful of archivists from the Philippine Information Agency (PIA)\, the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) and the Society of Filipino Archivists for Film (SOFIA) collaborated to produce rushed digital access copies of these films in 2015. The result of our collective efforts were undoubtedly poor images. Yet the makeshift digitization itself exemplified non-idealized archival practices of making do (paggawa ng paraan) that marshal meager resources to buy time and keep things going. Given that the histories of prior state film archives’ collapse caution against the costs of inaction\, perseverance and making-do in order to ensure access are striking traits of Philippine archiving cultures called-forth by conditions of archival fragility.\n \n Bliss Cua Lim is Professor of Cinema Studies at the University of Toronto. Her first book\, \"Translating Time: Cinema\, the Fantastic and Temporal Critique\"\, was published by Duke University Press in 2009\, with a Philippine edition by Ateneo de Manila University Press released in 2011. Bliss is a member of the Editorial Collective of the journal\, Camera Obscura: Feminism\, Culture\, and Media Studies and she also serves on the Advisory Boards of \"Plaridel: A Philippine Journal of Communication\" and \"Pelikula: A Journal of Philippine Cinema\". Her new book\, \"The Archival Afterlives of Philippine Cinema\"\, recently published by Duke University Press\, analyzes the crisis-ridden history of film archiving in the Philippines.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.

The identification and excavation of a domestic camp associated with butchered mammoth remains at the La Prele Mammoth site (Wyoming) allows us to reach past typical questions focusing on subsistence and technology into larger inquiries about Pleistocene foragers including understanding social organization\, cooperation\, and group mobility. New research incorporating these questions at additional Ice Age sites can help us to better understand how people used proboscideans as a food resource\, their importance in past lifeways\, and what changed when they went extinct. This presentation will discuss how we can reach beyond butchery in the Pleistocene to better understand the relationship between foragers and their environment.

Their specific nature depends on whether the agent’s (verifiable) presentation of evidence is contractually controllable\, however. For deterministic implementation\, we show that\, in general\, such control has value\, and we offer two independent conditions under which this value vanishes\, one on evidence (WET) and another on preferences (TIWO). Allowing for fully stochastic mechanisms\, we also show how randomization generally has value and clarify to what extent this value vanishes under the common assumption of evidentiary normality (NOR). While\, in general\, the value of control extends to stochastic implementation\, neither control nor randomization have any value if NOR holds together with WET or TIWO.

In generative modeling\, one seeks to artificially generate new data that belongs to given input class. For instance\, generating new faces from a database of celebrity faces. Mathematically\, this can be posed as finding a map that pushes a simple concrete probability distribution\, such as a standard Gaussian\, to a complicated abstract distribution that is only known through examples. \n\nCurrently\, one of the most popular paradigms in generative modeling is diffusion modeling\, where the map is constructed by reversing the flow of a diffusion equation applied to the example set. The standard approach in the literature focuses on flowing along a Fokker-Planck equation (i.e. a heat equation with a drift term) and requires stochasticity in the backwards flow to prove convergence rates. In this talk\, I will discuss some advantages of flowing along a more general class of diffusion equations and prove convergence rates when the backwards flow is deterministic. \n\nContact: Selim Esedoglu.

We obtain a similar formula for double Schubert polynomials S_w(x\;y)\, and a curious positivity result: For vexillary permutations w\, the polynomial x_1^n \dots x_n^n S_w(x_n^{-1}\, \dots\, x_1^{-1}\; 1\, \dots\, 1) is a graded nonnegative sum of Lascoux polynomials.

Intense experimental and theoretical activities in this field\, however\, have not fully solved this problem but have rather resulted in large discrepancies. I will review some of my own work related to both the temperature profile in the Earth and the melting curve of iron and will describe the experimental difficulties for measuring high-pressure/ high-temperature phase diagrams and thermal properties of the relevant materials.

Suppose that φ is non-contracting: \n\n∀ linearly independent v1\,...\,vk ∈ R^n\, φ(t) (v1∧···∧vk)̸→0 as t→∞.\n\nThen\, there exists a unique smallest subgroup H_φ of SL(n\, R) generated by unipotent one-parameter subgroups such that \nφ(t) H_φ → g_0 H_φ in SL(n\, R)/H_φ as t→∞ for some g_0 ∈SL(n\,R). \n\nFor any Lie subgroup G of SL(n\,R) such that φ([0\,∞)) ⊂ G\, we have H_φ ⊂G. For any lattice Γ in G and x∈G/Γ\, the trajectory { φ(t)x:t≥0} gets equidistributed with respect to the measure g_0.μ_F_x\, where H_φ x = Fx for a closed connected subgroup F of G and μ_F_x is the unique F-invariant probability measure on Fx.

What is the ‘shape’ of phrasal pitch contours\, analyzed in terms of their component phonological features or in acoustic F0 measurements? How does intonation function to mark the structure of phrases and larger discourse units\, or distinctions in semantic or pragmatic meaning? The goal of a linguistic theory of intonation is to establish a framework in which the form and functions of intonation can be analyzed and compared across languages and speakers. This is a surprisingly difficult task. Analyzing the function of intonational expressions calls for preliminary decisions about segmentation\, measurement and encoding– which interval(s) of a continuous pitch signal are associated with a particular meaning or structure\, which aspects of the dynamic F0 signal encode that function\, and what are the features of encoding? Even for English\, arguably one of the most studied intonation systems\, there is ongoing debate over these very questions\, resulting in a knowledge bottleneck that stymies scientific progress on intonation and its communicative function.\nIn this talk I report on my recent work addressing this central challenge for American English: What are the characteristics of phrasal pitch patterns that are reliably perceived and produced as distinct and interpreted differently\, by speakers of the language? I discuss findings from parallel streams of research in my lab investigating intonational form and its pragmatic function. Part I (work with Jeremy Steffman) relates a series of studies that examine intonational form through imitations 16 intonational “tunes” of English\, under varying task conditions that tap memory representations of model tunes presented auditorily. Analyses of dynamic F0 patterns from five experiments converge on finding a robust\, primary distinction between high-rising and low-falling tunes\, and smaller\, secondary F0 distinctions within both classes. Part II (work with Thomas Sostarics) focuses on the pragmatic function of tunes\, presenting findings from one experiment testing asking/telling interpretations for stimuli from a two-dimensional Rising-Falling continuum\, and another examining the facilitation of scalar inference as a function of tune shape (Falling\, Rise-Fall-Rise\, with varying pitch accents). Findings from both experiments point again to a primary dichotomy between high-rising and low-falling tunes\, with secondary distinctions in meaning corresponding to F0 shape variation within the two primary tune classes. Implications of these joint findings are discussed for a theory of categorical and gradient associations of intonational form and function.

His interdisciplinary practice builds pathways between communication and publication design\, curation\, pedagogy and political activism. Alongside his independent projects\, he works with non-profit institutions\, companies and individuals in arts and culture sectors. In 2019\, Marwan founded Takweer\, an online platform and expanding archive of queer narratives in Arab history and popular culture. His debut book\, The Queer Arab Glossary\, was published in June 2024. Marwan moved from his hometown Beirut to London in 2011 to pursue a master’s degree in Graphic Design\, before joining renowned design agency Barnbrook. He later founded his own studio in 2020.\n\nAbout The Queer Arab Glossary\nWhen conventional language does not equip us with the tools to speak about ourselves\, we create our own. Slang expresses words and feelings that break down boundaries. It is a form of protest and fills in the gaps. The Queer Arab Glossary is the first published collection of Arabic LGBTQ+ slang. This bold guide captures the lexicon of the queer Arab community in all its differences\, quirks and felicities. Featuring fascinating facts and anecdotes\, it contains more than 300 terms in both English and Arabic\, ranging from the humorous to the harrowing\, serious to tongue-in-cheek\, pejorative to endearing. Here\, leading queer Arab artists\, academics\, activists and writers offer insightful essays situating this groundbreaking glossary in a modern social and political context.\n\nSponsors: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Women's and Gender Studies\, Global Islamic Studies Center\, Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, University of Michigan Library\, Arab and Muslim American Studies UID:127014-21858297@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/127014 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Arabic,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Gender,Global Islamic Studies,Women's Studies LOCATION:Michigan Union - Wolverine Room (3rd Floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240819T181604 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241011T190000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Volleyball vs Illinois DESCRIPTION:Volleyball vs Illinois UID:122766-21849620@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122766 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Volleyball LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241011T181551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241011T190000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Volleyball vs Illinois DESCRIPTION:Volleyball vs Illinois UID:124576-21853217@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124576 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Volleyball LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240830T181700 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241011T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241011T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:Bat Boy the Musical DESCRIPTION:\nThe Encore welcomes back U-M’s prestigious School of Music\, Theatre & Dance for their production of Bat Boy.

She built her fanship the old-fashioned way\, getting in front of audiences and projecting her poetic confessionals\, silencing rowdy crowds with an a cappella opening song in the center of a dark stage. Spaltro was quick to develop a reputation as a breakout star in New England\, and then expanded slowly outwards\, moving to New York at twenty to continue work on the songs that would become Ripely Pine. Her voice has never wavered\, has grown more honest and open with time\, and anyone witnessing the long lines of fans seeking signatures after her performances can see how her work has impacted fans. Her live shows are revelations\, a further deep dive into what makes Ripely Pine such a mainstay.\n\nSpaltro is celebrating ten years of Ripely Pine with the release of a 5xLP Box Set\, IN THE MAMMOTH NOTHING OF THE NIGHT out August 18 on Ba Da Bing Records. With the original songs remastered\, as well as reams of additional material produced and arranged by Spaltro and mixed by original co- producer Nadim Issa\, IN THE MAMMOTH NOTHING OF THE NIGHT captures the time\, mood\, art and ambition of Aly Spaltro in her early twenties\, who had already accumulated years of playing and self-recording experience before laying down tracks for this giant of a debut.\n\n“I wrote some of these songs when I was 18\, learning how to play the instruments and record with my digital 8-track along the way\,” Spaltro says\, reflecting on the time. She talks about IN THE MAMMOTH NOTHING OF THE NIGHT with a sense of a mission. “These tracks have haunted me\, because they haven’t had a home for all these years. I found all these alternate track listings in my notebooks. Any of them could have ended up on the record\,” Spaltro says. “This box set is a way to honor that whole time\, the beginning of the path of my life. Releasing this project feels like just that\; I’m able to look back on where I’ve come from\, and then gently close that door behind me and keep moving\, keep growing.” UID:122588-21849418@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122588 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Concert,Music,Mutotix LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241008T161455 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241011T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241011T223000 SUMMARY:Tours:October Astronomy Night DESCRIPTION:Experience History and Astronomy at the Judy & Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory!\n\nJoin us for an evening of telescope observing with our 167-year-old telescope\, guided tours of the 1854 Detroit Observatory\, hands-on experiences\, one-of-a-kind exhibits\, and more!\n\nObservatory Tours that begin at 8:00\, 8:30\, 9:00\, or 9:30pm.
