It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

From Schism to Union and Back: Eastern Christians and Catholic Expansion in the Age of Confessionalism DESCRIPTION:In recent decades\, there has been a resurgence of scholarship on contacts between the Catholic Church and Eastern and Oriental Churches in the pre-modern period. Spanning large swaths of Eastern Europe and the Middle East\, these interconfessional encounters were marked by fierce theological debates\, cultural misunderstandings\, political intrigues\, and complex negotiations of religious practices and beliefs. They produced greater familiarity and mutual understanding of confessional traditions in anticipation of the coveted Christian unity\, while also resulting in new schisms between and within the Churches. Since studies of these developments are often nested inside their geographically defined fields\, this workshop aims to put them in dialogue with each other\, exploring differences\, connections\, and wider patterns across the vast geography of Eastern Christianity.\n\nThis workshop explores themes of church unity and confessionalization\, conversion and religious syncretism\, knowledge production and intellectual exchange. It features papers by scholars working within different disciplinary frameworks\, including cultural history\, theology\, and art history\, with the focus on the Armenian and Ruthenian Orthodox Churches in their encounter with early modern Catholicism.\n\nWorkshop Program (Eastern Standard Time/EST)\n\n9:45-10:00 AM Welcome & Opening Remarks – Gottfried Hagen (University of Michigan) & Bogdan Pavlish (University of Michigan)\n\n10:00-11:30 AM Keynote Lecture – Cesare Santus (University of Trieste)\n*Education\, Confession\, and Devotion: Shaping Armenian Catholicism in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire*\nJust when the confessional paradigm seemed to have exhausted its heuristic potential in the context for which it was developed (sixteenth-century Western Europe)\, a new generation of scholars rediscovered its usefulness for analyzing religious polarization in the early modern Ottoman Empire and Eastern Europe Drawing on this historiography\, this lecture will focus on a specific case study: the Armenians of Constantinople and Ottoman Anatolia at the turn of the eighteenth century In their case\, contact with Catholic missionaries not only created a rift within these communities but also led over time to the construction of two distinct and opposing confessional identities Specifically\, this lecture will analyze the cultural and social tools used by both Catholic missionaries and the Armenian Apostolic clergy to build and consolidate a sense of belonging to two faith communities\, overcoming previous ambiguities and the efforts of those who did not want to choose between Rome and Etchmiadzin.\n\nPanels:\n\n11:45-1:00 PM Panel I: Confessionalism in Medieval Armenia\nDiscussant: Helmut Puff\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\n\nSergio La Porta\, California State University\, Fresno\, CA – *Tradition!?

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\n*The exhibition is cosponsored by the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum*.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Often in academic spaces\, we do not learn from the activists\, community leaders and organizers doing the work in our communities. We want to flip this narrative and provide a space for community leaders to be the teachers\, and for students to engage in this type of learning in an accessible way. \nThis past year\, the world has become more aware of the ongoing struggles of many\, including Congo\, Sudan\, and Palestine. Although we are not there\, there is a sense of urgency and responsibility for us to also advocate for the liberation of these people in addition to our own selves. We recognize how these struggles that are happening across the world are happening parallel here. Dr. King said\, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality\, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly\, affects all indirectly.” Black freedom struggles in the United States have always had global dimensions and a deep impact on others across the world.\nFor the purposes of Building Power\, we will be using the following definition of collective liberation from the Center of Racial Justice in Education: Collective liberation acknowledges that multiple oppressions exist\, and that we work in solidarity to undo oppression in ourselves\, our families\, our communities\, and our institutions\, in order to achieve a world that is truly free. Black Radical Healing Pathways chose this topic for this year’s Building power because we wanted to explore the meaning of ujima (collective work and responsibility) in current day contexts and liberation movements. \nWhile we talk about global struggles\, it is imperative to remember that we have multiple liberation movements happening on US soil today that also require collective liberation. As we work within these movements\, having the knowledge of global struggles allows us to be more intentional in our work and advocacy. Keeping the essence of Building Power’s mission in mind\, we plan on inviting speakers who have diverse experiences in multiple liberation movement spaces with impacts here and abroad.

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

PASC is the first progressive art studio and exhibition program in Detroit and Wayne County dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences to advance artistic practices and build individual careers in the art and design fields.\n\nThis exhibition introduces the PASC program\, and the wide range of styles and ways of working that drive this community of artists\, to the Ann Arbor community. The exhibition is hung salon style\, referencing the communal character of the Osterman Common Room as a social gathering space. It intends to bring engaged people together for conversation on art\, disabilities\, and questions of access in the art world.\n\nPASC embraces the philosophy that creating an artwork is an expressive and communal act whereby an individual communicates their unique perspective on the world with the world.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you.

This book tells the story of a remarkable generation of early twentieth-century bibliophiles\, librarians\, and scrapbook makers who dedicated themselves to documenting the history of African American life at a time when dominant institutions cast doubt on the value or even the idea of Black history. Traveling from the parlors of the urban north to HBCU reading rooms and branch libraries in the Jim Crow south\, Scattered and Fugitive Things draws on overlooked sources--such as book lists and card catalogs--to reveal the risks these collectors took to create Black archives. The book also explores the social life of collecting\, highlighting the communities that used these collections from the South Side of Chicago to Roanoke\, Virginia. In each case\, archiving was alive in the present\, a site of intellectual experiment\, creative abundance\, and political possibility.

While compensation for community partners is a foundation of ethical community-engagement practice\, the complex administrative and financial systems of R1 universities are not designed to easily facilitate such compensation.\n\nJoin us for an extraordinary panel of community engagement professionals from TRUCEN to share findings from their national survey of R1 universities on the challenges associated with compensating community partners who contribute to community engagement initiatives. In this session\, members of the TRUCEN Sustained Conversation Group on Cultivating Community Voice will discuss principles and philosophy for compensating partners that advocates can use in conversations with your colleagues in procurement\, finance\, HR\, fundraising\, and senior leadership. Our goal will be for attendees to consider how these principles and practices intersect with the University of Michigan’s institutional context\, and begin to identify next steps to simplify processes\, and reduce delays\, for compensating your community partners. The workshop will preview content being developed for a toolkit which will provide community engagement professionals and faculty members with 1) talking points to make a case for compensating community partners and 2) examples of promising processes and practices used by campuses across the country.\n\nFeaturing:\n\nDouglas Barrera - Associate Director for Faculty and Community Engagement\, UCLA Center for Community Engagement\, UCLA\nLaurel Hirt - Director of the Center for Community-Engaged Learning\, University of Minnesota\nMindi Levin - Founder and Director of SOURCE\, the community engagement and service-learning center of Johns Hopkins University Schools of Public Health\, Nursing\, and Medicine.\nMichelle Snitgen - Assistant Director\, Academic Programs\, Center for Community Engaged Learning\, Michigan State University\nChan Williams - Assistant Director for Academics and Operations\, MDP Program & Paul D.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The rapid adoption of large language models (LLMs)\, such as GPT-4 and Claude 3.5\, underscores the need to distinguish LLM-generated text from human-written content to mitigate the spread of misinformation\, misuse in education\, and LLM training data contamination. One promising approach to address this issue is the watermark technique\, which embeds subtle statistical signals into LLM-generated text to enable reliable identification. In this work\, we enhance watermark detection using adaptive methods that assign higher weights to tokens with smaller next-token probabilities (NTPs)\, where NTPs quantify the likelihood of a token appearing based on its preceding context. We rigorously analyze the Type I and Type II error of the proposed method and demonstrate its superior detection power through numerical experiments. Due to the unavailability of true prompts and\, thus\, true NTPs\, we introduce a prompt estimation method that identifies the most likely prompt from an instruction set to estimate NTPs. Furthermore\, we develop a statistical framework for segmenting text into watermarked and non-watermarked substrings by framing it as a change point detection problem. Extensive experiments validate the proposed methods\, demonstrating their effectiveness in detection\, segmentation\, and robustness.\n\n\nhttps://zhangxiany-tamu.github.io/ UID:132383-21870850@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132383 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. 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:84303-21621525@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:20250303T063249 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:(requested) Assessing Organizational Culture through a DEI Lens DESCRIPTION:requestedadvertised by Rackham UID:133322-21872755@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250221T102047 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Assessing Organizational Culture Through a DEI Lens DESCRIPTION:How do you assess whether organizations are committed to diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI)?

The symposium will highlight the challenges Chicana historians have faced and continue to confront in the academy while we celebrate their outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the field of history\, with a particular focus on alumni and faculty from U-M. At this convening\, we will celebrate the official launch of the digital archive of The First 100: Chicanas Changing History\, which is maintained at the University of Michigan Library in Ann Arbor. The digital oral history archive is complemented by the project’s material artifacts\, which are housed at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History in Washington\, D.C.\n\nThe Chicanas Changing History symposium will include opening remarks by Dean Rosario Ceballo\, a keynote lecture by U-M alum Dr. Natalia Molina\, panel discussions\, public receptions\, an exhibition tour of La Raza Art and Media Collective\, 1975 – Today\, at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)\, and a ribbon-cutting to officially launch the digital archive at the U-M Library.\n\nThrough oral histories\, data collection\, exhibitions\, and public programs\, this project honors the contributions of the first 100 Chicanas to earn doctoral degrees in any field of history. It is also an intervention: interrogating the academy’s organizational culture that systematically excludes Chicanas is at the core of this initiative. The First 100: Chicanas Changing History was founded by Dr. Lorena Chambers\, who received her doctorate from the History Department at the University of Michigan.\n\nJoin us February 20-21\, 2025\, to learn about this archival project and how and why we need initiatives like this to create positive change.

The Potential Role of Marine-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal in Combatting Climate Change DESCRIPTION:Dr. Wil Burns\, Co-Director\, Institute for Responsible Carbon Removal\, American University & Associate Director\, Environmental Policy & Culture Program\, Northwestern University.\n\nIn the ensuing years after the entry into force of the Paris Agreement\, it has become increasingly obvious that achievement of its temperature objectives will require both aggressive emissions reduction initiatives and large-scale deployment of carbon dioxide removal/negative emissions technologies to either avoid passing critical climatic thresholds or address temperature “overshoot” scenarios. While much of the early research of carbon dioxide removal methods focused on terrestrial approaches\, there has been increasing attention to the potential role of the world’s oceans given both sustainability considerations and the fact that oceans already serve as a huge carbon sink\, with much additional potential for storing carbon. These options include ocean iron fertilization\, ocean alkalinization enhancement\, ocean upwelling/downwelling\, ocean biomass sinking.\n\nHowever\, research in this context\, as well as potential large-scale deployment of such options\, also poses potentially substantial risks to marine environments and key economic stakeholders. Moreover\, there is likely to be substantial public backlash to research absent the existence of a sound regulatory framework for risk assessment\, monitoring\, and public deliberation.\nThis presentation will include the potential risks and benefits posed by different ocean-based carbon dioxide removal options. It will also include a discussion of regulatory efforts to date by international treaty regimes\, and other potentially pertinent regimes\, including those with a marine regulatory focus\, as well as the potential role of the UNFCCC/Paris Agreement.

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).

This exhibit asks: What do we know about the root causes of prejudice toward skin color? What can we do to improve interpersonal and structural colorism? To answer these questions\, Prof. Rogério Pinto (Social Work) uses personal and historical materials and interview data to optimize audience interaction\, including critical dialogues around colorism while audiences are viewing the installation or immediately after viewing it.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

Their efforts\, among the first scientific projects in Mexico\, yielded critical insights into social stratification\, ritual behavior\, and cultural development during the Late Formative Period (300-100 B.C.).\n\nExtensive archaeological survey projects in western Oaxaca have since placed Monte Negro in a regional context\, underscoring dramatic settlement pattern changes during this period. Investigations at the site since 2022 mark the first excavations in over 80 years and the first outside of the elite sector. This talk presents an overview of preliminary findings from the two most recent field seasons at Monte Negro.

The first quarter century of the self-determination era featured many great successes but mostly great frustrations often caused by federal reluctance to empower tribal nations. The second quarter century featured the rise of tribal political and economic power\, but many of the same frustrations\, this time more often caused by judicial decisions. As always\, Indigenous leaders look to both the past and the future in consequential decisions for their nations. This symposium brings together many of today's most influential Indigenous leaders to assess the last fifty years and imagine what the next quarter century brings. Panelists include Indigenous elected officials\, judges\, and lawyers at the federal\, state\, and Tribal levels.\n\nWashington Supreme Court Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis\, a citizen of the Pueblo of Laguna\, will deliver a keynote address on Saturday.\n\nPanel 1\, “The Past and Future of Indigenous Politics\,”\nFriday\, February 21 - Palmer Commons Forum Hall 1:30 – 3:00 PM\,\nThis panel will discuss the past and future of Indigenous people in politics and their service in elected or appointed political offices in the US state or federal government.\nSpeakers are:\n Bryan Newland is Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs and a citizen of the Bay Mills Indian Community.\nJeff Irwin is an elected member of the Michigan Senate and citizen of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.\n\nPanel 2\, “Lawyering Tribal Self-Determination\,”\nFriday\, February 21 - Palmer Commons Forum Hall 3:15 – 4:45 PM\,\nThis panel will address the underrepresentation of Indigenous people in law. Fifty years ago\, few Indigenous people were lawyers\, and almost no tribe was represented by Indigenous lawyers or law firms. Although there are many more Indigenous lawyers\, they are still terribly underrepresented in the field. This panel of Indigenous lawyers will discuss their professional journeys and the profession's future\nSpeakers are:\nWenona T. Singel is an Associate Professor of Law at Michigan State Law School and a citizen of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians \nDoreen Nanibaa McPaul is In-house counsel for Tohono O’Odham Nation\, leader of the Tribal In-House Counsel Association\, and citizen of the Navajo Nation.\nMitchell Forbes is a Staff Attorney at the Native American Rights Fund and a citizen of the Native Village of Shishmaref\n\nPanel 3\, “Indigenous Judging in Tribal and State Courts\,”\nSaturday\, February 22 - Michigan Union Anderson ABCD 10:00 – 11:30 AM\nPanel 3 will discuss Indigenous presence on the court. In 1975\, few Indigenous people served as judges in federal\, state\, and tribal courts. Now\, many Indigenous judges serve tribal communities\, but only a few serve federal and state court systems. This panel will address the past and future of Indigenous judging.\nSpeakers are: \nGregory H. Bigler is a Tribal judge\, lawyer\, and citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation\nAllie Greenleaf Maldonado is a Judge of the Michigan Court of Appeals and citizen of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians\n\nKeynote Address: \n\"Descendant Daughter\" by Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis.\nSaturday\, February 22 - Michigan Union Pendleton Room 12:30 – 1:45 PM\nJustice Raquel Montoya-Lewis is a Justice of the Washington Supreme Court\, a citizen of the Pueblo of Isleta\, and a descendant of the Pueblo of Laguna.\n\nPanel 4\, “International Indigenous Leadership”\nSaturday\, February 22 - Michigan Union Pendleton Room 2:00 – 3:30 PM\nwith Kyle Powys Whyte and Kristen Carpenter\,\nThis panel examines Indigenous participation in international spheres.

But too often\, creators fail to learn from their initial hits\, as their subsequent products lack the audience appeal of their initial hits. In this paper\, I develop theory on learning transfer in creative work\, focusing on how creators’ learning is shaped by the novelty (vs. typicality) of their initial hits in creative industries. I propose that creators who develop relatively novel initial hits are more likely to transfer deep learning that enhances the audience appeal of their subsequent creations\, helping them generate additional hits after their initial one. I tested the theory using two studies: an archival study of 1\,601 book authors and a pre-registered experiment. The archival study showed that authors with novel initial hits had better subsequent hit rates—a likely indicator of learning—than authors with more-typical initial hits. The experiment provided causal evidence that creators learn more deeply and effectively from novel than typical initial hits. Whereas prior research emphasizes that individuals learn best from multiple episodes of success\, failure\, or both over time\, this research suggests creators who achieve novel initial hits can and do learn from one episode of extreme success.

Many challenging optimization problems in machine learning and scientific computing follow this approach—optimizing a small block of parameters cyclically\, one at a time. Notable examples include Sinkhorn’s algorithm for computing optimal transport maps and Schrödinger bridges\, as well as alternating least squares and multiplicative updates for matrix and tensor factorization. In this talk\, we will explore the principles behind these methods (block majorization-minimization)\, why they often require less parameter tuning than first-order gradient-based approaches (via second-order analysis)\, and their recent extensions to Riemannian manifolds\, with new results in Wasserstein variational inference. \nThis talk is based on recent works with Yuchen Li (UW)\, Joowon Lee (UW)\, Laura Balzano (Michigan)\, Deanna Needell (UCLA)\, and Sumit Mukerjee (Columbia). \n\nContact: Laura Balzano UID:130188-21865575@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130188 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:Off Campus Location - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250127T090800 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T160000 SUMMARY:Meeting:DocDi DESCRIPTION:The DocDi Group is a collaborative forum\, open to both students and faculty\, who share an interest in the areas of Field Linguistics\, Fieldwork Methods\, Language Documentation\, and Language Description.

DESCRIPTION:Under the assumption of confinement and chiral symmetry breaking the low energy description of QCD is in terms of an effective theory of pions whose properties (couplings) should be derived from the high energy Lagrangian (QCD). In this talk I will describe recent work in collaboration with Yifei He where we propose a bootstrap method to compute pion scattering phase shifts and low energy effective action coefficients. The method looks for the most general S-matrix that matches at low energy the tree level amplitudes of the non-linear sigma model and at high energy\, QCD sum rules and form factors. This is a theoretical/numerical calculation that uses as only data the pion mass\, pion decay constant fpi and the QCD parameters Nc=3\, Nf=2\, mq and alpha_s. The results are in reasonable agreement with experiment. In particular\, we find the rho(770)\, f2(1270) and rho(1450) resonances. The interplay between the UV gauge theory and low energy pion physics is an example of a general situation where we know the microscopic theory as well as the effective theory of long wavelength fluctuations but we want to solve the strongly coupled dynamics at intermediate energies. The bootstrap builds a bridge between the low and high energy by determining the consistent S-matrix that matches both and provides\, in this case\, a new direction to understand the strongly coupled physics of gauge theories.

This links various \"exceptional objects\" appearing in classifications\, for example\, associating the regular icosahedron to the E8 diagram.

Fontaine--Kamnitzer--Kuperberg showed that their duals may be realized as subcomplexes of the affine building Delta(PGL_3). The result is a collection of CAT(0) triangulated surfaces related to the geometric Satake correspondence.\n\nRecently\, an SL(4) web basis was introduced by Gaetz--Pechenik--Pfannerer--Striker--S. which comes with \"moves\". We show the moves may be understood geometrically as forming \"pockets\"\, certain highly structured 3D simplicial subcomplexes of Delta(PGL_4). Special cases correspond to plane partitions\, alternating sign matrices\, tilings of the Aztec diamond\, and more. Joint with Christian Gaetz\, Jessica Striker\, and Haihan Wu.

This can be extended to higher-dimensional Calabi-Yau varieties through the concept of shifted symplectic structures in derived algebraic geometry. In this talk\, I will introduce a general operation of producing shifted symplectic stacks from given ones. Basic examples like cotangent bundles\, critical loci\, and Hamiltonian reduction can be understood as special cases of this operation. Moreover\, this unification enables us to provide an etale local structure theorem for shifted symplectic Artin stacks. I will briefly explain some applications to Donaldson-Thomas theory of Calabi-Yau 3-folds and 4-folds.

This talk pries open the value chain of land assembly that underlies these transformations in a rapidly expanding peri-urban frontier of Bengaluru\, India. Drawing on detailed interviews with land market intermediaries\, operating across different scales\, who were instrumental in assembling agricultural land for a large apartment complex\, my talk shows how existing forms of social power and local knowledge are harnessed to create inter-scalar linkages that enable the creation and extraction of value in Indian real estate. It makes the case for understanding the economic and cultural work of intermediaries in animating land’s value chain as ‘articulation work’.\n \n Gidwani is an economic and labor geographer who works on agrarian and urban transformations. His co-edited book\, Chronicles of a Global City: Speculative Lives and Unsettled Futures in Bengaluru was recently published by University of Minnesota Press.\n \n Made possible with the generous support of the Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

These problems are motivated by classical lattice counting questions and serve as natural analogues of well-studied problems concerning orbits of lattice subgroups. I will present results from my recent joint work\, with a particular focus on an ongoing collaboration with Nimish Shah that resolves a conjecture by U. Shapira and O. Sargent concerning orthogonal lattices of integral vectors on hyperboloids.

He specializes in language documentation and has worked especially closely with tribes in the southeastern U.S. (Muscogee\, Choctaw\, Seminole\, Coushatta). He recently served as president of SSILA and is now coeditor of the journal IJAL.\n\nTitle: Applicatives in the Languages of the Southeastern U.S.: Similarities and Paths of Divergence.\nAbstract: The indigenous languages of the southeastern U.S. generally make use of dative applicatives\, instrumental applicatives\, and occasionally locative applicatives. I survey features of these languages from a typological perspective before focusing on specific differences in the uses of instrumental applicatives in Choctaw and Muscogee. While Choctaw appears to be relatively conservative\, Muscogee has extended the instrumental to include semi-classificatory uses where an object has parts or is contained in another. These languages help us understand the sources of applicatives and their possible evolution.

His first instrument\, the clarinet\, gave way to the alto\, and then the tenor and soprano saxophones\; from there\, he expanded his musical universe and now fully embraces both jazz and Western classical music\, in addition to a burgeoning career as a composer. When asked a few years ago whether he finds classical music or jazz harder\, the saxophonist said\, “Classical is harder. Jazz is like a story that you personalize\, but classical is a story where you can’t use your own words. It’s like reading Shakespeare or Chaucer. You have to develop the characters to make them believable\, but the words aren’t yours\, and you’re not going to change [them].”\n\nPROGRAM\nClaude Debussy Rhapsodie\, L. 98\nSally Beamish “First Light” from Divertimenti for Two Soprano saxophones and Piano\nKelly-Marie Murphy Unstoppable Fear Machine\nAdditional works to be announced\n\nFeatured Artists:\nBranford Marsalis\, saxophones\nTimothy McAllister\, saxophones\nLiz Ames\, piano UID:121974-21847872@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121974 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ann Arbor,Anthropology,Art,art and design,artists,artists and curators,arts,chamber orchestra,Classical,classical music,concert,Culture,Energy,Faculty,Family,Humanities,In Person,music,performance,piano,Saxophone,Social,UMS,ums jazz series,university musical society,Well-being LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Rackham Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250122T104218 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T220000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back DESCRIPTION:Come join History of Art 265.001 - Arts and Cultures of Star Wars in watching Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back UID:131564-21868763@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/131564 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art history,history of art LOCATION:Angell Hall - Aud B CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250218T121636 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:\"Scenes from the Life of a Martyr\" DESCRIPTION:Remembering the life of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr and commemorating the 45th anniversary of the completion of the full orchestra version of Undine Smith Moore's magnum opus\, the U-M SMTD Choirs and University Symphony Orchestra perform her powerful oratorio *Scenes from the Life of a Martyr* with Maurice Duruflé's iconic Requiem\, op. 9.\n\nPROGRAM\n*Scenes from the Life of a Martyr* by Undine Smith Moore\nRequiem\, op. 9 by Maurice Duruflé\n\nEugene Rogers\, conductor\n\nSOLOISTS\n\n*Duruflé*:\n\nGracie Ryan\, mezzo-soprano\n\nIsaiah Liggins\, baritone\n\n*Undine Smith Moore*:\n\nDaniel Washington\, narrator and baritone - https://smtd.umich.edu/profiles/daniel-washington\n\nGoitsemang Lehobye\, soprano - https://kerrytownconcerthouse.com/goitsemang-lehobye\n\nRehanna Thelwell\, mezzo-soprano - https://rehannathelwell.wixsite.com/mezzosoprano/bio-1\n\nErrin Duane Brooks\, tenor - https://www.errinduanebrooks.com UID:122658-21849504@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122658 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Concert,Free,Interdisciplinary,Music,Social Impact LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250219T121644 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:A Few Good Men DESCRIPTION:Set in 1986\, this compelling drama alternates between the US Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay\, Cuba\, and a courtroom in Washington\, DC\, examining a crime that challenges notions of honor\, duty\, and truth. PFC William Santiago\, a young Marine who is considered a “weak link” in his unit\, has died as a result of actions taken by two of his fellow marines. Lance Corporal Harold Dawson and PFC Louden Downey claim Santiago’s death was the accidental outcome of a routine hazing incident ordered by a superior officer. Their superior officers claim there was no such order and that the two men should be held accountable.\n\nDefending Dawson and Downey are three Navy attorneys who hold their own complicated (and sometimes conflicting) ideas of duty and honor: Daniel Kaffee\, the son of a renowned lawyer whose career casts a long shadow\; Sam Weinberg\, who will do his best to defend the accused in spite of his suspicion that they are bullies\; and Joanne Galloway\, a lieutenant commander with strong instincts and minimal courtroom experience who is dead set on uncovering the truth no matter what. This fast-paced\, high-stakes play raises timeless questions about the price of blind loyalty and the way ideals like honor and duty can be twisted until they are unrecognizable.\n\n\nWritten by Aaron Sorkin\nDirected by Geoff Packard\n\nRecommended Ages: 15+ UID:122777-21849631@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122777 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250206T122732 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T223000 SUMMARY:Tours:Astronomy Night DESCRIPTION:Experience History and Astronomy at the Judy & Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory!\n\n \n\nObservatory Tours - 1 hour guided tour of the Detroit Observatory\, including Historic Telescope Observing of the seasonal night sky.
