SUMMARY:Exhibition:Multiracial Families: Increasing Rapidly
DESCRIPTION:This digital exhibit in the Shapiro Lobby showcases research about and narratives from people across the globe who are part of mixed race families.\n\nIn 1967\, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the Loving v. Virginia case that marriage across racial lines was legal throughout the country. Intermarriage has increased steadily since then: one in five U.S. newlyweds (19%) were married to a person of a different race or ethnicity in 2019\, a more than sixfold increase from 3% in 1967 (Pew Research Center\, 2022).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CREES Exhibition. Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya
DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n   \n   Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79). See more of her work here: https://www.diannebeal.com/curatorial.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andy Ross Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Angkorian Homecoming
DESCRIPTION:Informed by her experience as a refugee\, Phung Huynh’s projects explore the complexities of displacement\, assimilation\, and cultural negotiation among Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who have resettled in the United States. She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Elizabeth Boyd-Hartmann Dizik Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This body of work represents a playful exploration of form\, color\, and scale through the lens of cellular shapes. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. 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. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. 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. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Adaptive Methods for High-Order Aerodynamic Shape Optimization
DESCRIPTION:Aerodynamic shape optimization has the potential to fully automate the aerodynamic design process. The optimizer relies heavily on a robust\, accurate\, and efficient computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver. High-order CFD methods have the potential to provide high-accurate solutions but rely on adaptation for robustness and efficiency to strategically distribute degrees of freedom to minimize error for a given cost.\n\nThis dissertation closes many gaps preventing the widespread adoption of high-order methods in shape optimization. A novel curved mesh adaptation method is developed that performs metric-based adaptation on curved meshes improving robustness. An algorithm is developed to adapt the mesh during optimization that balances optimization cost and adaptation cost while ensuring accuracy at the optimum. These methods enable cost effective and accurate optimization.\n\nDate/Location:\nMarch 20th\, 2025 | 10:00 am EDT | FXB 1044\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/95480752465  | passcode: adapt

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Rational equivalences from hyperelliptic curves
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The Chow group of zero-cycles of a variety X points can roughly be described as follows: the generators are closed points of X\, and the relations\, also known as rational equivalences\, are divisors of rational functions on curves in X. In general\, it can be very difficult to tell whether a given zero-cycle is trivial in the Chow group\, and the structure of the Chow group as a whole is very mysterious. Deep conjectures due to Bloch and Beilinson give some indication of what the structure should be and which zero-cycles should vanish\, but very little has been proven in this direction.\n\nIn this talk we will focus on certain abelian surfaces A\, and discuss a collection of methods that can take one of the zero-cycles that is predicted to vanish in Chow and verify that it is indeed a rational equivalence. The key idea behind these methods is a relation between hyperelliptic curves in A and rational curves in the Kummer surface of A. This is joint work with Evangelia Gazaki.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:In-person Arabic Placement test_March 20\, 2025 (10:00am-1:00pm)
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Arabic Placement TestAbout the testThe test is approximately two hours and a half in length\, and it is composed of three portions:a. The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.\nImportant: a. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.b. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.Where can I view my results?c. Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.d. You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) may be offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.* Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) is offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens
DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

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

SUMMARY:Presentation:Dissertation Defense: Thurston Theory for a Family of Chebyshev Polynomials and Cosine Maps
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nA cornerstone of complex dynamics is William Thurston's topological characterization of rational functions\, which provides a way to understand when topological objects are realized as geometric objects. These topological objects are finite degree branched maps of the topological sphere S^2 and the geometric objects are holomorphic maps of the Riemann sphere \hat{\mathbb{C}}\, both of which are postcritically finite (i.e.\, the set of points in the orbit of the critical points is finite). We apply this framework to study a one-parameter family of modified Chebyshev polynomials from a dynamical and nondynamical perspective. Our interest in this family comes from the property that it approximates a one-parameter cosine family. This ties into a natural question that has arisen: can Thurston's characterization be extended to entire transcendental maps? In this setting\, the analog of postcritically finite maps are postsingularly finite maps on the complex plane \mathbb{C}\, but for our cosine family\, these notions coincide. Our work is based on the major breakthrough of Hubbard\, Schleicher\, and Shishikura in their characterization of exponential maps. We adapt their techniques for our cosine family to prove a partial characterization of postsingularly finite topological cosine maps.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Great Lakes Seminar Series: David Lodge
DESCRIPTION:About the presentation: Researchers often assume that the value of research in solving problems is self-evident. Yet most research does not lead to solutions\, even when the proposals that launched the research promised solutions. University and government researchers could address this longtime peril by including clear theories of change in project development\, and co-creating and co-executing projects across disciplines and sectors. This would require alignment of funding and infrastructure to support such mission-driven research. In a rapidly changing government landscape\, I will examine past examples of the role of research and technology development in driving change in policies\, practices\, and products. While I do not promise to resolve all the promises and perils\, I will suggest some possible ways forward for solutions-oriented sustainability research in government and universities.\n\nAbout the speaker: Dr. David M. Lodge is the Francis J. DiSalvo director of Cornell University’s Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability. He is an internationally recognized environmental scientist\, with expertise in environmental risk assessment\, freshwater and marine coastal ecology\, ecosystem services\, bioeconomics\, and invasive species. His research has improved ecological forecasting to better inform environmental risk assessment\, natural resource management\, and policy development. Lodge is a leader in the development and application of environmental DNA (eDNA)\, a transformative technological tool for discovering unrecognized biodiversity\, censusing aquatic biodiversity\, and improving the management of imperiled\, invasive\, or harvested species. He is past president of the Ecological Society of America\, and former senior science advisor in the US Department of State’s Office of Polar Affairs. On numerous occasions he has testified before the U.S. Congress\, and served as an expert witness in federal court. He is faculty member in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. 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).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Seminar Series: What does Urban Psychology tell us about implicit biases?
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Stier holds a PhD in Integrative Neuroscience from the University of Chicago\, a Masters in Psychology and a BA in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Chicago and is currently at the Santa Fe Institute. Andrew’s research in Urban Psychology takes advantage of cities’ regularities to study human behavior and of the inner workings of large-scale complex systems. He uses these models as a starting point to develop a theoretical framework that comprehensively explains emergent human behavior across scales\, from individual brain function to entire urban areas.\n\nAbstract\nAre people less racist in Santa Fe or Ann Arbor? Are people more or less depressed in larger cities? Are attention spans shorter in busy urban areas? Urban Psychology is the study of how the built environment of cities influences human behavior and causes psychological adaptations at the individual level. In this talk\, I will discuss the results of my research extending Urban Scaling Theory models to better understand how cities shape human psychology. I will (1) briefly review how cities systematically influence mental health and cognition\, and (2) discuss what I have learned applying urban psychology models to understand implicit biases. I will present mathematical models\, backed up by real-world and experimental (i.e.\, laboratory) data\, which demonstrate that people are less depressed\, more attentive\, and less racist (i.e.\, have lower implicit racial biases) in larger cities. In addition\, I will demonstrate that implicit biases change more slowly in larger cities than smaller cities\, despite the fact that biases are lower in larger cities. Finally\, I will discuss the implications of this observation for large-scale cultural change and the effectiveness of individual-level bias interventions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Spatial Sorting of Workers and Firms
DESCRIPTION:Why do productive workers and firms locate together in dense cities? I develop a new theory of two-sided sorting in which both heterogeneous workers and firms sort across space. The location choices of workers and firms affect each other and endogenously generate spatial disparities in the presence of three essential forces: complementarity between worker and firm productivity\, random matching within frictional local labor markets\, and congestion costs. I demonstrate that the decentralized equilibrium exhibits excessive concentration of workers and firms\, and dispersing them away from dense locations can mitigate congestion without reducing output. I then provide direct empirical evidence of the two-sided sorting mechanism using German administrative microdata. An exogenous increase in the quality of the workforce in a location results in more productive firms choosing that location. Finally\, to quantify the implications of the model\, I calibrate it to U.S. regional data and show that policies that relocate workers and firms toward less dense areas can increase welfare.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:We Can’t Solve a Puzzle without Knowing the Picture: Characterizing Doctoral Engineering Attrition\, Persistence\, and Thriving to Reconceptualize Graduate Educational Systems
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Though graduate students in engineering are understudied compared with undergraduate education\, the intersection of sociological and psychological factors predicting attrition (i.e.\, leaving a program of study) for graduate students is particularly unexplored. The Council of Graduate Schools report that in doctoral engineering programs\, ten-year degree completion rates are only 56% and 65% for women and men\, respectively. Persistence rates for students from historically marginalized racial groups are lower than 50%.  The lack of “socialization” is generally noted as a main reason for doctoral attrition\; however\, few researchers seek to understand and characterize the socialization process in graduate engineering students and how the mechanisms of attrition or persistence work within a single disciplinary setting. Propagated by a lack of research\, administrators\, faculty\, and graduate advisors often work to “solve” retention given their anecdotal experiences with graduate students\, rather than understanding the entire picture surrounding graduate student attrition\, persistence\, and career trajectories.\n \nThis seminar will present results from several of my ongoing studies\, including an NSF RFE grant exploring how various “invisible” competencies such as academic writing can impact persistence and career trajectories and the most current findings from my NSF CAREER grant\, characterizing master’s-level departure from the engineering PhD. Though doctoral attrition and consideration of leaving is common (our work shows that approximately 70% of engineering PhD students consider or strongly consider leaving)\, students often feel isolated\, thinking they are alone and hesitant to discuss their issues with either their peers or their advisors.  My team’s research across several funded projects weaves together to support a more nuanced and accurate understanding of the processes involved in attrition—including how graduate students come to consider whether they should depart from their PhD\; how various sociological or structural factors interact with psychological issues in graduate students\; and how thriving is different than surviving.  Ultimately\, my research platform breaks new ground in understanding issues related to doctoral and graduate student success\, while also developing new and innovative methods to collect and visualize data about attrition processes.\n\nBiography: Catherine Berdanier is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University. She earned her B.S. in Chemistry from The University of South Dakota\, her M.S. in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering Education from Purdue University.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. 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.

DESCRIPTION:March 20 from 2:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.\nRackham East Conference Room and online\n\nReception and booking signing to follow from 3:30-5:30 p.m. in Rackham West Conference Room. \n\nA free copy of the speaker’s new book\, After Disruption: A Future for Cultural Memory (University of Michigan Press)\, will be available for in-person attendees while supplies last.\n\nThis event is sponsored by the University of Michigan School of Information (UMSI) and the University of Michigan Library.\n\nAbstract:\nLibrary and archives professionals often take collection centered mindsets to our work. Drawing on experience from two decades of work in digital history and cultural memory\, Owens will discuss approaches to work with collections that cultivate and support personal connections and belonging. This will include discussion of key points from his recently published book After Disruption: A Future for Cultural Memory\, in dialogue with practical examples from his work at the Library of Congress and the American Institute of Physics. He will show how ongoing work in libraries and archives can function as a context for action research to advance both theory and practice for how work with special collections can advance efforts in communities for equity\, justice\, and sustainability.\n\nSpeaker bio:\nTrevor Owens is chief research officer at the American Institute of Physics. Prior to joining AIP\, Trevor Owens was the director of Digital Services at the Library of Congress. Over the past decade\, Owens has held progressively senior roles\, advancing vision and strategies for the future of research organizations. While serving at the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)\, he was responsible for convening representatives from libraries\, associations\, funders and technology innovators to establish the National Digital Platform framework. Through his work at the Library of Congress\, IMLS and the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media\, Owens gained extensive experience and background in history of science research\, library and archives leadership and management\, and applied social science research. He has a particular expertise and interest in the power of digital assets and content\, which aligns with AIP’s strategic vision. And in 2023\, he served as a member of AIP’s Blue-Ribbon Panel engaged to recommend a strategic vision for the future of AIP’s history\, library and archives programs.\n\nIn 2022\, Owens served as a Fulbright Specialist with the National Library of Kosovo\, leading the development of their first digital collections strategy. In 2021\, the American Library Association named Owens the recipient of the Frederick G. Kilgour Award for Research in Library and Information Technology\, an award that recognizes a body of research having a positive and substantive impact on the publication\, storage\, retrieval and dissemination of information.\n\nOwens is the author of three books\, the most recent of which\, The Theory and Craft of Digital Preservation\, was published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2018 and has won outstanding publication awards from both the American Library Association and the Society of American Archivists. His next book\, After Disruption: A Future for Cultural Memory\, will be published by University of Michigan Press in the spring of 2024.

DESCRIPTION:Dinner will be provided!\n\nAbout Dr. Pual Pridham:\n\nDr. Paul Pridham is a Lecturer and Research Area Specialist Senior in the Center for Ergonomics and Industrial and Operations Engineering Department at the University of Michigan. Paul completed a Ph.D. from Columbia University\, focused on rehabilitation robotics and how design impacts the performance of these systems. Paul went on to do postdocs at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, studying human exoskeleton fluency\; and at Northern Arizona University\, studying ankle exoskeletons with applications to clinical populations. Paul's work explores the impact of design on the performance of wearable systems\, particularly exoskeletons. This talk will examine how wearable systems can be used to better understand ourselves\, and in return how that understanding can allow us to better design wearable systems. Paul will also discuss future directions to take this work and encourage students to explore these topics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:899 Seminar Series: Holden. Lee\, Johns Hopkins University
DESCRIPTION:Presenter Bio\nHolden Lee is an assistant professor of applied mathematics and statistics at Johns Hopkins University\, working on theoretical machine learning and applied probability. His research focuses on mathematical foundations for sampling algorithms and generative modeling\, with applications to language models. He was a co-organizer for the NeurIPS 2024 workshop on Creativity & Generative AI. He obtained his Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton.\n\nAbstract\nMultimodal distributions such as mixture models pose significant challenges for both learning and sampling algorithms\, but score-based and diffusion models have enjoyed widespread empirical success on these problems. How can we understand their success from a theoretical perspective?\nFor learning\, we consider Gaussian mixtures and show diffusion models can learn a mixture of k isotropic Gaussians in R^n with quasi-polynomial time and sample complexity (exp(poly log((n+k)/epsilon)))\, under a minimum weight assumption. This gives a completely different\, analytic proof of a result previously known only using a specialized algebraic approach\, and moreover\, it extends to give the first efficient algorithm for learning a non-parametric family of Gaussian convolutions of distribution supported on sets with a small covering number.\n\nFor sampling\, we explain the surprising observation that despite the slow mixing of Langevin dynamics\, it is possible to sample from multimodal distributions by learning only the vanilla score\, as long as we use data-based initialization. We consider the more general problem of sampling using a Markov chain without global mixing given a small number of samples from the stationary measure\, showing efficient sampling with a number of data samples almost linear in the number of modes\; this also covers the case of Glauber dynamics with pseudolikelihood estimation.\nBased on joint work with Khashayar Gatmiry and Jonathan Kelner (MIT)\, Frederic Koehler (UChicago)\, Thuy-Duong Vuong (UC Berkeley) on the papers https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.18869 and https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.09117.\n\nThis event is a part of our 899 seminar series.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nMachine learning algorithms are becoming increasingly powerful to support scientific research and development. A large emphasis in the pharmaceutical community has been on applying these tools in drug discovery\, where algorithms promise to accelerate the earliest stages of drug development. However\, a key challenge in applying machine learning to drug discovery is the scarcity of large\, high-quality datasets for many important applications. To combat this issue\, active learning workflows can be deployed where the machine learning algorithm is put in charge of additional data acquisition. These approaches can dramatically improve the performance of machine learning algorithms by directly querying the most useful data for model development instead of relying on human bias for data generation. In particular\, by pairing machine learning algorithms in yoked learning campaigns\, with one model as a selection algorithm and another as the predictive model\, the performance of these workflows can be improved especially when using currently popular deep neural networks. Even if no new data is selected\, smart active learning algorithms can also\nserve as a data selection approach for subsampling existing data to improve model performance especially on low quality datasets. Instead of selecting data\, data processing approaches can further improve model performance to better support drug development. For example\, novel pairwise deep learning approaches analyze the relationships between molecules to predict property differences instead of predicting property values of individual molecules. By quadratically increasing dataset sizes\, such approaches are particularly beneficial for ADMET and drug development tasks where data availability might be severely limited when relying on in vivo readouts. Such approaches can also enable the integration of bounded measurement values\, thereby enabling algorithms to incorporate data on incompletely characterized compounds to further improve model performance. While active learning and novel data\nprocessing techniques can significantly improve model performance in drug discovery\, similar advancements are needed for drug delivery applications. The development of machine learning approaches to de-risk and improve drug delivery holds immense promise to create superior therapeutics. However\, available datasets for drug delivery applications are often even more limited\, and this is further exacerbated by the large complexity of delivery challenges that often involve complex materials and interactions. To circumvent some of these challenges\, data from drug discovery can be harnessed to predict drug-excipient interactions to identify functional formulations that improve drug absorption and metabolism. Alternatively\, data can be specifically generated via high-throughput laboratory automation or using text mining to curate data from the literature. We have prototyped such advanced workflows in the context of nanoparticle development\, for example by creating predictive workflows that model the in vivo tumor reduction of inorganic nanoparticles and by using machine learning to guide the synthesis of novel drug-excipient nanoparticles with applications in anti-fungal and anti-cancer drug delivery. Despite current challenges and surely overinflated expectations\, such case studies serve as testimony that the strategic integration of machine learning into drug development pipelines holds immense promise to accelerate\, de-risk\, and optimize the creation of life-saving therapeutics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MICDE-EECS Seminar - Mikhail Belkin\, Professor\, University of California San Diego
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Mikhail Belkin is a Professor at Halicioglu Data Science Institute and Computer Science and Engineering Department at UCSD and an Amazon Scholar. Prior to that he was a Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Department of Statistics at the Ohio State University. He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Chicago (advised by Partha Niyogi). His research interests are broadly in theory and applications of machine learning\, deep learning and data analysis. Some of his well-known work includes widely used Laplacian Eigenmaps\, Graph Regularization and Manifold Regularization algorithms\, which brought ideas from classical differential geometry and spectral graph theory to data science. His more recent work has been concerned with understanding remarkable mathematical and statistical phenomena observed in deep learning. The empirical evidence necessitated revisiting some of the classical concepts in statistics and optimization\, including the basic notion of over-fitting. One of his key findings has been the \"double descent\" risk curve that extends the textbook U-shaped bias-variance trade-off curve beyond the point of interpolation. His recent work focusses on understanding feature learning and over-parameterization in deep learning. Mikhail Belkin is an ACM Fellow and a recipient of a NSF Career Award and a number of best paper and other awards. He had served on the editorial boards of IEEE Proceedings on Pattern Analysis Machine Intelligence and the Journal of the Machine Learning Research. He is the editor-in-chief of SIAM Journal on Mathematics of Data Science (SIMODS).\n\nAbstract: In recent years\, transformers have become a dominant machine learning methodology.\nA key element of transformer architectures is a standard neural network (MLP). I argue that MLPs alone already exhibit many remarkable behaviors observed in modern LLMs\, including emergent phenomena. Furthermore\, despite large amounts of work\, we are still far from understanding how 2-layer MLPs learn relatively simple problems\, such as “grokking” modular arithmetic. I will discuss recent progress and argue that feature-learning kernel machines (Recursive Feature Machines) isolate some key computational aspects of modern neural architectures and are preferable to MLPs as a model for analysis of emergent phenomena.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2024-2025 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"How Long do Quasars Shine?\"\n\nLuminous quasars are believed to be the progenitors of the supermassive black holes observed ubiquitously at the centers of all massive galaxies\, but we are still in the dark about how these black holes formed. Our ignorance largely results from the fact that the expected timescale for supermassive black hole growth of 50 million years is far longer than the mere fifty years that humans have been observing quasars. A holy grail would thus be a direct measurement of quasar lifetimes\, shedding light on the physical mechanisms responsible for fueling black hole growth\, and how the back-reaction of this growth might influence how galaxies form.  I will discuss two very different experiments that allow us to construct cosmic clocks that can accurately time the duration of luminous quasar activity on timescales of kiloyears to gigayears. One exploits the clustering pattern of quasars on the sky\, which has recently been measured by JWST. The other uses observations of diffuse intergalactic gas in quasar environs. I will also touch upon how the latter can be used to constrain the reionization history of the Universe.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - New Views on Fern Phylogenetics: Updates from the GoFlag Targeted Enrichment Probe Set
DESCRIPTION:Ferns are the second largest group of vascular land plants\, with ca. 10\,000\, species\, and they are critical components of Earth’s biodiversity – ferns can be found in nearly every type of ecosystem and habitat\, from desert to rainforest. Ferns also occupy a pivotal evolutionary position as sister to the megadiverse seed plants\, and they are thus the critical outgroup needed to understand the evolution of key seed plant features. This talk presents the results of a phylogenomic approach to reconstructing fern evolution\, using the most highly resolved nuclear dataset to date (targeting 408 loci)\, and with highly targeted taxonomic sampling (including nearly all fern families and genera). This dataset allows us to explore a range of outstanding questions in fern phylogenetics\, including resolving recalcitrant nodes\, and comparing results between our nuclear based trees and other recent large-scale fern phylogenies based on chloroplast loci.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Broken Bonds: Fugitive Bannermen\, Civic virtue\, and Ethnic Identity in Late Imperial China
DESCRIPTION:In 1670\, the Kangxi Emperor promulgated the Sacred Edict\, a hortatory edict consisting of sixteen apothegms that enjoined his Chinese subjects to observe a variety of Confucian virtues. The Edict was the subject of a vast commentarial literature and was revered as a sacred text right through the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1912. This talk takes a closer look at the long-neglected thirteenth apothegm of the Edict\, which admonished against “shielding fugitive bannermen\,” and inquires what it can tell us about political loyalty\, displaced imperial subjects\, and inter-ethnic relations in late imperial China.\n\nPär Cassel is an associate professor of modern Chinese history at the University of Michigan\, where he has taught since 2006. He is strongly committed to multi-lingual and multi-archival research and is especially interested in historical problems where international relations\, jurisprudence\, institutional history\, and linguistics intersect. He has published on East Asian treaty ports\, extraterritoriality and international law in China and Japan\, Sino-Japanese relations\, Manjuristics\, and the history of Sinology. His most recent academic publication explores Confucian responses to Western imperialism and Japan’s policy of “National Seclusion” in the 1830s.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Electrocatalytic Synthesis with Interfacial Control
DESCRIPTION:Synthesis driven by renewable electricity offers a sustainable\, scalable\, decentralized\, and energy-efficient route to furnish value-added products – from fuels to complex molecules. Maximizing reaction efficiency and durability requires immobilized catalytic active sites on electrodes\, resulting in dispersed and non-uniform sites. This heterogeneity challenges iterative optimization of reactivity through traditional catalyst modifications\, which rely on uniform\, singular active sites. This lecture will focus on our research developing synthetic tools and concepts to predictively control interfacial structures at heterogeneous and reusable electrodes at the molecular level. Surface-sensitive techniques and mechanisms will be highlighted throughout the talk. Applications of our interfacial designs in enabling selective chemical syntheses and durable energy conversion systems will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Habit Formation in Labor Supply
DESCRIPTION:Among low income workers\, labor supply is often irregular: frequent shocks disrupt work spells\, absenteeism is high\, and many workers prefer flexible casual work to formal jobs. We examine the possibility that labor supply is habit forming—so that past labor supply levels affect preferences for future supply. We undertake a field experiment with casual urban laborers in Chennai\, India. We randomly provide some workers with small financial incentives for attendance over 7 weeks\, leading to a 23% increase in labor supply. We test for habit formation by examining subsequent impacts after the incentives are removed. First\, we see a persistent 16% increase in labor supply over the next 2 months\, resulting in a 11% increase in employment. Second\, treated workers exhibit a higher willingness to accept work contracts that are of longer duration and less flexible. They also self-report an increase in automaticity—suggesting a change in preferences. Third\, shocks that temporarily pull workers out of the labor market lead subsequent treatment effects to collapse to zero\; in the absence of these shocks\, we cannot reject that there is no decay in effects over time. Fourth\, in incentivized measures\, employers accurately predict treatment effects\, and prefer hiring workers who have been treated with a stronger habit stock in the past—findings that have relevance for understanding duration dependence and the “unemployment scar”. Finally\, in supplementary data from other settings\, we replicate short-run persistent effects of transitory labor supply shocks—indicating the broader generalizability of hysteresis in labor supply. Together\, our results suggest that the intermittent nature of employment and frequent shocks experienced in low-income settings may inhibit workers from becoming habituated to regular work—with implications for the transition to formal regular work in poor countries.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The politics of disaster prevention | The 2025 Miller Converse Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Despite the importance of effective disaster policy\, governments typically fail to produce it. The main explanation offered by political scientists is that voters strongly support post-disaster relief but not policies that seek to prevent or prepare for disaster. This study challenges that view. We develop novel measures of preferences for disaster prevention and post-disaster relief. We find strong support for prevention policies and candidates who pursue them\, even among the subgroups that are the most opposed. Support for prevention has the hallmarks of “real” attitudes: consistency across wordings and response formats\, including open ended probes\; steadfastness in the face of arguments\; and willingness to make trade-offs against disaster relief\, increased taxes\, and reduced spending on other programs. Neither cognitive biases for the here and now nor partisan polarization prevent robust majority support for disaster prevention. We validate these survey findings with election results\, which suggest voters act on these preferences.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Roma people of Ukraine by Janush Panchenko
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a unique talk on the Roma people of Ukraine by Janush Panchenko on Thursday\, March 20\, at 5 PM (EST)! \nThis is a hybrid event\nIn-Person Location: MLB 3308 \nVia Zoom: Register at alexaver@umich.edu\n\nThe Roma of Ukraine are a diverse and resilient community\, deeply rooted in the region’s history and cultural memory. With around 15 subethnic groups\, each with its own language\, traditions\, and religious affiliations—both Christian and Muslim—the true size of Ukraine’s Roma population remains uncertain\, with estimates ranging from 47\,000 to 400\,000.\n\nDespite gradual changes in recent decades\, Roma communities have continued to face marginalization. The full-scale Russian invasion has only intensified their struggles—about 80% of Roma in the occupied territories were forced to flee\, and many have been directly impacted by Russian crimes. At the same time\, some Roma have defied cultural norms and joined the Ukrainian army\, reshaping perceptions of their role in society.\n\nThis talk will explore the rich history and cultural diversity of Ukrainian Roma while shedding light on the immense challenges they face today. Through historical insight and contemporary analysis\, we will examine how war is transforming Roma identity and community life in Ukraine.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Annual Copernicus Lecture. The Post-Populist Predicament: On Redemocratization and Rule-of-Law Restoration in Poland since 2023
DESCRIPTION:On October 15\, 2023\, Polish voters elected\, by a wide margin\, a coalition of democratic parties and thus ended an 8-year episode of authoritarian-populist rule. But in contrast to other known cases of populist incumbents’ electoral defeat (Bolsonaro in Brazil\, Janša in Slovenia\, or Trump in the U.S. in 2020)\, the incumbents left a deeply dismantled institutional field\, or rather a minefield of various legal and institutional ambushes meant to render re-democratization extremely difficult\, if not impossible. In such circumstances\, a post-populist government faces a fundamental tension between the aim of depolarization and that of democratic consolidation. The rule-of-law conundrum best illustrates the tension: to respect the rule of law as traditionally\, conventionally understood—as dictating observance of all legal rules in force\, whatever their intent or content—leads to paralysis in a new government’s re-democratization efforts.\n\n   Sadurski will offer an account of the post-populist predicament in Poland (not avoiding the question of whether it is truly post-populist) and sketch some proposed solutions to the conundrum. He will show how the post-populist transition is different\, and in many ways more difficult\, than the post-communist transition in the early 1990s\, and how it necessitates some innovative constitutional remedies. He will then explore lessons that can be drawn from the Polish case for future redemocratization of other populist-authoritarian regimes\, such as those in Turkey\, India\, or Hungary today.\n   \nWojciech Sadurski is Challis Professor of Jurisprudence at the University of Sydney and Professor at the University of Warsaw’s Center for Europe\, as well as a lawyer\, political philosopher\, and commentator on public affairs. He previously held the chair in philosophy of law at the European University Institute in Florence and has taught regularly at Yale\, NYU\, and Princeton\, as well as at universities in Europe and Asia. He is a member of the Global Rule of Law Commission. Sadurski’s most recent books include *Poland’s Constitutional Breakdown* (2019)\, *A Pandemic of Populists* (2022)\, and *Constitutional Public Reason* (2023). He is a co-recipient of the 2023 Karol Pilarczyk Foundation Award for the “promotion of democracy and the rule of law” by the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences in America (PIASA).\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Phung Huynh
DESCRIPTION:Phung Huynh is a Los Angeles-based artist and educator with a practice in drawing\, painting\, public art\, and community engagement. Her work explores cultural perception and representation\, such as her drawings and prints on pink donut boxes\, which explore the complexities of assimilation and cultural negotiation among Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who have resettled in the United States. Huynh also challenges beauty standards by constructing images of the Asian female body vis-à-vis plastic surgery to unpack how contemporary cosmetic surgery can whitewash cultural and racial identity. \nIn tandem with her Penny Stamps Series appearance\, The Institute for the Humanities is hosting Huynh’s installation\, Angkorian Homecoming\, on display from March 20 - May 2\, 2025 at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. The new series brings together an installation of ornately framed graphite drawings and photographic banners that seek to ritually unite fragments of sacred Khmer Buddha statue heads that were looted from Cambodia. The artist examines Cambodian sculptures that memorialize the Golden Age of Khmer culture from the 9th to the 15th centuries\, particularly the Buddha heads that are currently housed in American art museums and the remnants of the statues' bodies remaining in the temples of Cambodia. Huynh initiates critical dialogues in the pressing matters of repatriation and provenance within the collections of American institutions.\nPhung Huynh has had solo exhibitions at Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills and the Sweeney Art Gallery at the University of California\, Riverside. Her paintings and drawings have been exhibited nationally and internationally\, including spaces such as the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh\, Cambodia. She has also completed public art commissions for the Metro Orange Line\, Metro Silver Line\, the Los Angeles Zoo\, and the Los Angeles General Medical Center through the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture. \nPhung Huynh has served as Chair of the Public Art Commission for the city of South Pasadena and Chair of the Prison Arts Collective Advisory Council\, which supports arts programming in California state prisons. She served on the Board of Directors for LA Más\, a non-profit organization that serves BIPOC working class immigrant communities in Northeast Los Angeles. She is a recipient of the City of Los Angeles Individual Artist Fellowship\, the California Arts Council Individual Established Artist Fellowship\, the California Community Foundation Visual Artist Fellowship\, and the Marciano Art Foundation Artadia Award. \nPresented in Partnership with the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Lecture -- \"How We Imagine Victorian Readers\,\" Debra Gettelman (College of the Holy Cross)
DESCRIPTION:The Nineteenth-Century Forum (NCF) invites you to the following public lecture\,\n“How We Imagine Victorian Readers”with guest speaker Debra Gettelman (College of the Holy Cross)Thursday\, March 20th6:00-7:30 PMLocation: 3330 Mason HallOr via Zoom\nPlease contact Alexa Kelly (avkelly@umich.edu) or Torre Puckett (puckettt@umich.edu) with any questions. \nAbstract: The novel reader’s independent imagination has long gotten a bad rap.  Eighteenth-century critics saw potential for moral danger in how novels stimulate a mix of reading\, inventing\, and daydreaming. Early twentieth-century academics established the discipline of literary studies by excluding readers’ free associations from both criticism and the classroom. Literary studies still lacks productive models for the unscripted work the novel reader’s imagination does when it is\, inevitably\, imagining things other than the words on the page.\nAnd yet\, counterintuitively\, highly descriptive and directive Victorian novels offer a model of inviting and grappling with the reader’s imaginative additions to the fictional world. Novelists from Jane Austen to George Eliot use syntax and prose style to stimulate readerly imagining to go beyond the author’s description at every level\, from plot outcomes to character descriptions.  Especially Eliot: Middlemarch uses negation to make readers’ minds move flexibly between what belongs and does not belong to the fictional world. Daniel Deronda uses “we\,” “us\,” and “our” to coax readers into more inclusive versions of human fellowship. Revisiting Eliot’s extensive use of the first-person plural throughout her career reveals her deep understanding—still little acknowledged in literary studies—of how author and reader together construct the fictional world.\nDebra Gettelman is Associate Professor of English at the College of the Holy Cross\, where she is also Dean of the Class of 2027. She is the author of numerous articles and reviews as well as Imagining Otherwise: How Readers Help to Write Nineteenth-Century Novels\, which was published by Princeton University Press in 2024.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:\"Angkorian Homecoming\" Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery for the opening of Phung Huynh's exhibition *Angkorian Homecoming *immediately following her Penny Stamps Lecture at the Michigan Theater. The opening reception will also feature a brief Cambodian classical dance performance by Mea Lath and the Modern Apsara Company.\n\nAbout the exhibition:\n\nInformed by her experience as a refugee\, Phung Huynh’s projects explore the complexities of displacement\, assimilation\, and cultural negotiation among Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who have resettled in the United States. She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.
