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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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  UID:107870-21818075@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250110T170530 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250327T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250327T163000 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.

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:84303-21621554@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:20250303T063208 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250327T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250327T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Cover Letters & Resumes for Internships and Positions Beyond the Tenure Track DESCRIPTION:This workshop is open to all graduate students seeking guidance on cover letters and resumes for positions beyond tenure track roles.It also meets the needs of those applying for internships\, including those applying to the Rackham Doctoral Intern Fellowship Program.

Spin defects in solids possess a far broader set of potential applications\, including for biosensing\, quantum transduction and memory. I will describe some general features of spin-coherent centers in wide bandgap hosts (e.g. diamond\, silicon carbide\, oxides) and the challenges (experimental and theoretical) that must be overcome to produce practical quantum technologies. The main examples will be (1) noise in quantum sensing [1] and its suppression in diamond nanoparticles for biosensing [2]\, (2) crystal field splittings of rare-earth dopants and implications for quantum memory and transduction (i.e. in oxides and GaN) [3]\, and (3) hybrid quantum systems involving magnets [4]. \n[1] PRB 110\, 174450 (2024)\; PRB 110\, 024419 (2024).\n[2] arXiv:2305.03075\n[3] arXiv:2501.03348\; arXiv:2501.03353\; arXiv:2503.12194\n[4] Mater.

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).

First\, we provide the first ex-post microeconomic welfare analysis of this central component of the IRA. Event studies around changes in eligibility for EV tax credits show credits were largely passed-through to consumers. Additionally\, domestic content restrictions on tax credits for purchased vehicles have driven enormous shifts to leasing. Our equilibrium model shows that compared to pre-IRA policy\, IRA EV credits generated $1.87 of US benefits per dollar spent in 2023\, at taxpayer cost of $32\,000 per additional EV sold. Compared to scenarios with no EV credits\, however\, the IRA EV credits created only $1.02 of benefits per dollar of government spending. Second\, we characterize the gains from policies targeting heterogeneity in externalities across vehicles. We find that relative to uniform credits\, differentiating credits across EVs according to their heterogeneous externalities would substantially increase policy benefits. Third\, we quantify tradeoffs in the IRA EV credits between foreign and domestic welfare and between trade and the environment. We find that the IRA EV credits benefit the environment but undermine trade\, since they decrease global carbon emissions but use profit shifting to decrease foreign producer surplus. A controversial IRA loophole that removes domestic content restrictions on tax credits for EV leases has negative domestic benefits.

Contemporary welfare states achieve higher equality by raising revenue from a regressive consumption tax than from a progressive income tax to be redistributed through public expenditures. As Professor Kato will discuss\, the politics of taxation matters for this unexpected consequence among long democracies.\n \n Junko Kato (PhD\, Yale University) is a professor of political science at the University of Tokyo. Her research focuses on comparative politics on taxation and the welfare state\, party coalitions and government formation\, and neuro-cognitive analyses of social decisions and behavior. She has authored articles in *American Political Science Review\, British Journal of Political Science\, Electoral Studies\, Governance\,* in addition to two books\, *The Problem of Bureaucratic Rationality* (Princeton University Press\, 1994) and *Regressive Taxation and the Welfare State* (Cambridge University Press\, 2003)\, and numerous book chapters. Professor Kato served as co-editor-in-chief of *Japanese Journal of Political Science* (2019~2023) and has been on the editorial boards of several journals\, including *British Journal of Political Science* (1996~2016)\, *Perspectives on Public Management and Governance* (2016~)\, and *Journal of East Asian Studies* (2021~). She has launched neuro-cognitive approaches to social sciences and published articles on fMRI experiments of human decision and behavior in *Frontiers in Neuroscience\, Scientific Reports\, and Cerebral Cortex.*\n \n *This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu.

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.

Uniting incarceration and capitalism\, the village of Auburn built a prison that enclosed industrial factories. There\, “slaves of the state” were leased to private companies. The prisoners earned no wages\, yet they manufactured furniture\, animal harnesses\, carpets\, and combs\, which consumers bought throughout the North. Then one young man challenged the system.\n\nIn Freeman’s Challenge\, Robin Bernstein tells the story of an Afro-Native teenager named William Freeman who was convicted of a horse theft he insisted he did not commit and sentenced to five years of hard labor in Auburn’s prison. Incensed at being forced to work without pay\, Freeman demanded wages. His challenge triggered violence: first against him\, then by him. Freeman committed a murder that terrified and bewildered white America. And white America struck back—with aftereffects that reverberate into our lives today in the persistent myth of inherent Black criminality. William Freeman’s unforgettable story reveals how the North invented prison for profit half a century before the Thirteenth Amendment outlawed slavery “except as a punishment for crime”—and how Frederick Douglass\, Harriet Tubman\, and other African Americans invented strategies of resilience and resistance in a city dominated by a citadel of unfreedom.\n\nThrough one Black man\, his family\, and his city\, Bernstein tells an explosive\, moving story about the entangled origins of prison for profit and anti-Black racism.

Media measurement suppliers\, from\ncustom research houses to Nielsen\, have scrambled to align different\, sometimes\nincompatible\, data streams and to develop new media metrics to account for all the\nprospects in digital viewership. These moves privileging quantitative data to explain the\nbehavior and choices of the viewer appear to leave a reduced role for qualitative\nresearch methods. Even burgeoning methods looking at individual viewers\, such as\nbiometrics and neuroimaging\, rely on gathering quantitative data as a means of\nexplanation. In the pre-digital landscape\, qualitative methods\, from focus groups to\nethnographies and in-depth interviews\, played a larger part in the audience research\nmarketplace. While the delivery method and formats have shifted\, entertainment still\nrelies on character\, storytelling and connecting emotionally with a media text. All these\nissues can be gauged in a more meaningful way through qualitative research. This\npresentation addresses the role of qualitative research in a digital media environment\nincreasingly defined by media metrics. Without diminishing the value of the developing\nquantitative audience metrics and methods\, the goal is to understand what can be\ngained by returning to specific qualitative research approaches to understand the new\nworld of multiple screens\, multitasking\, social media marketing\, and fragmented\nviewership.\nBio:\nJustin Wyatt is Chair of Communication Studies at the University of Rhode Island. He\nworked professionally for 15 years on both the client and supplier sides of the media\nmarket research industry. His book\, Creating the Viewer: Market Research &\; the\nEvolving Media Ecosystem (2024)\, considers market research methods and protocols in\nthe digital television marketplace. He has published on media marketing\, history and\nindustrial practice over the past three decades. He holds a PhD in Film and Television\nStudies from UCLA and an undergraduate degree in Economics from the University of\nBritish Columbia.

His research applies techniques from optimization\, stochastic modeling\, and revenue management to problems in transportation\, online platforms\, and humanitarian immigration among others. His work has been recognized with the George B. Dantzig Dissertation Award (2018) and the Daniel H. Wagner Prize for Excellence in Operations Research and Analytics (2018)\, as well as best paper awards from APS (2021) MSOM (2023)\, Service Science (2024)\, and PSOR (runner-up\, 2024). Daniel is an AE for Operations Research and Transportation Science and frequently serves on ACM program committees (e.g.\, EC\, EAAMO\, TheWebConf). Before joining MIT\, Daniel received a PhD from Cornell University and was a postdoc in Lyft’s Marketplace Labs.\n\nAbstract:\nIn this talk\, I will give an overview of my recent work at the intersection of humanitarian immigration and operations\, focusing on two scheduling applications: the dedicated docket in immigration courts for defensive asylum cases and USCIS’s prioritization policy for the scheduling of affirmative asylum interviews. Both settings involve service systems designed to evaluate promptly whether or not an applicant should get asylum\, and both settings deviate from traditional FIFO policies. However\, in contrast to traditional service systems\, both settings involve the benefits of waiting. I will discuss how these benefits can be modeled in both applications to capture key performance indicators\, and highlight the impact of scheduling policies on the efficiency and fairness of both service systems.\n\nThis talk is based on joint work with my PhD student\, Wentao Weng. A preprint of the first paper can be found here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4785713. This work received recognition as the 2024 Best Service Science Paper on DEIJ and as the runner-up for the 2024 Public Sector OR Best Paper Award.

Meanwhile\, through the Weil conjectures\, the topology (specifically\, l-adic cohomology) of certain moduli spaces of algebraic functions has had a profound impact on number theory. In this talk\, I will outline a framework for studying the cohomology of the moduli space of algebraic maps Alg(X\, Y) under certain conditions on X and Y. Our methods\, in particular\, confirm the geometric Manin's conjecture\, which predicts an asymptotic estimate for the number of algebraic maps over finite fields\, in the special case where Y is a complete simplicial toric variety and X is a curve.

In particular\, due to physical limitations of hardware-only systems\, it is difficult to develop imaging systems that can capture multidimensional information about dynamic samples at high resolution\, wide fields of view\, and high frame/volume rates. In this talk\, I present several high-throughput computational optical imaging systems from my research that take advantage of parallelized designs and large-scale multidimensional image reconstruction algorithms to achieve spatiotemporal throughputs of several billion pixels or voxels per second. I show that these new imaging capabilities enable high-resolution\, high-speed observation of the behaviors of multiple freely moving organisms in parallel\, in particular ants\, zebrafish\, fruit flies\, and C. elegans. As I start my lab at the University of Michigan\, I aim to continue pushing the boundaries of computational optical imaging to achieve orders of magnitude higher spatiotemporal throughputs to accelerate scientific discovery in biology and medicine.

Time domain microlensing surveys are particularly valuable for finding isolated black holes in our Milky Way. Microlensing probes black holes across the mass spectrum in a relatively unbiased manner. I will present observational results\, including the first detection of a free-floating black hole\, and population simulations that show how sensitive microlensing surveys are to the black hole mass function\, binary fraction\, and velocity distribution. I will also discuss the photometric and astrometric technologies needed to expand the sample of stellar mass black holes know in the Milky Way\, including next-generation adaptive optics systems for precise astrometry\, small space satellites for precise photometry over wide fields\, and large space observatories\, such as the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope\, that simultaneously deliver photometry and astrometry for microlensing events. These technologies and observatories will likely expand the sample of known Milky Way black holes by 100x in the coming decade.

One important class of such modules is the class of local cohomology modules of a ring of positive characteristic. For this class of modules HSL numbers can be connected to various F-singularities\, such as F-nilpotency and F-rationality. In this talk we give an upper bound for the HSL numbers of the local cohomology modules of pointed affine semigroup rings.

This question has a positive answer when varieties are smooth or simple normal crossing\, and a negative answer in more general cases. The emphasis will be on the structure of the Grothendieck ring of varieties and on the groups of birational self-maps of algebraic varieties. This will be an overview of the work of many people in the last 25 years since Gromov's original formulation\, including Larsen-Lunts\, Borisov\, Zakharevich\, Hassett-Lai\, Kontsevich-Tschinkel\, and most recently\, work by Lin and myself.

The first platform\, pressure-driven droplet microfluidics\, continuously generates sub-nanoliter oil droplets to enable the chemical analysis of equally small aqueous samples. By preloading arrays of sensing oils and controlling their flow\, this system allows for real-time\, multi-analyte monitoring\, making it a promising tool for bedside critical care applications in hospitals. The second platform\, push-pull millifluidics\, integrates a microliter-sized liquid channel with a stepper motor to facilitate controlled extraction between an oil segment and an aqueous sample. Designed for portability and affordability\, this system offers a practical solution for diagnosing and managing chronic diseases in home and small-clinic settings. Unlike traditional optical sensors\, these fluidic platforms uniquely enable the independent tracking of optical signals from the sensor phase\, sample phase\, and interface. Leveraging fluorescence and absorbance detection in the sensor phase\, we have successfully performed chemical analyses on complex biological samples\, including whole blood.

This event honors Rao's 2024 Professional Achievement in Music Award from the SMTD Alumni Board. All are welcome for the lecture (4:30-6:00 pm) and a reception to follow (6:00-7:00 pm).\n\nCantonese opera was woven into the Chinese community's cultural\, financial\, social\, and family life in 19th-century California. Yet excavating its music and performing history is nearly impossible\, not only because of archival hierarchy but also due to various forms of erasure. This lecture addresses the challenge\, particularly the need to 'listen for the unsaid\, translate misconstrued words\, and refashion disfigured lives.' It begins by discussing how a laborer's diary entries give color to the faded image of 19th-century Chinese theater in San Francisco and pull us into its everydayness. It then considers the theater institutionally as an expression of the transpacific community. At conclusion it considers the music and significance of a 1903 recording of Cantonese opera.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER\n\nNANCY YUNHWA RAO is Distinguished Professor at Rutgers University. Rao received PhD in Music Theory from the University of Michigan in 1994. Her earlier work includes the history of American music theory of the 1930s and Ruth Crawford Seeger\, the latter of which received the Lowens article award from the Society for American Music. Her current work bridges musicology\, music theory\, and Sinophone studies. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and an Honorary Member of the American Musicological Society\, she is the author of *Chinatown Opera Theater in North America*\, which won three book prizes. She also contributed a chapter on East Asia for *The Cambridge Companion to Serialism*. Her analysis of materiality in the sonic imagery of East-Asian composition appeared in *Music Theory Spectrum*. Rao serves as the Editor-in-chief of *American Music*. Her forthcoming book\, *Inside Chinese Theater: Community and Artistry in 19th Century California and Beyond*\, will be published in March 2025.

For BIPOC men in college\, navigating these narratives can be particularly complex due to the intersection with race\, culture\, and identity. In this interactive barbershop workshop we will explore the origins\, themes\, and impact of Red Pill and Manosphere content on individuals and society. Through guided discussions\, activities\, and real-world examples\, participants will critically examine these ideologies and reflect on how to cultivate healthier and more empowering perspectives on masculinity and relationships.\nAbout M-CLIC: M-CLIC is a university-wide mentorship initiative open to all participants of any race or gender who seek to engage and foster a stronger sense of community and support for men of color at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. Event Highlight: M-CLIC's signature workshop\, the \"CLIC-N-CUTZ\" Barbershop Series\, a unique\, informative\, and safe-spaced barbershop experience. Beyond free haircuts and refreshments from local licensed barbers\, participants sit back and engage in trending topics and critical issues affecting men of color while brainstorming effective solutions to counteract some of today's stresses.M-CLIC - Conversation.

But institutional narratives have often erased the experiences of Black medical students—particularly those from its early years. CREATE Center postdoctoral research fellow Tonya Kneff-Chang will reveal how power has influenced the making and remaking of these historical accounts over time and explore through a series of walking tours she’s developed how those hidden stories are embedded in everyday spaces and how past struggles over race\, class\, and gender continue to influence U-M’s campus.\n\nDr. Tonya Kneff-Chang is an interdisciplinary historian whose work explores how race and racism have shaped our educational and medical institutions. At the U-M Medical School\, she co-developed and co-teaches the History of Race and Racism in Medicine course for students\, faculty\, and staff\, helping future healthcare providers understand the historical roots of contemporary health disparities. Dr. Kneff-Chang holds a BA in Peace & Conflict Studies from the University of California\, Berkeley\; an MA in Educational Leadership & Policy from the University of Michigan\; and a PhD in Educational Foundations from the University of Michigan.

Visions of the deceased former butler and governess seem to be influencing the children towards evil. The new governess soon finds herself in an unearthly struggle for the children’s souls.

Grappling with change both personal and universal\, with quandaries domestic and existential\, Everything Is Alive is an album about loss and the struggle for a semblance of redemption. \n\nComprised of Don Mitchell\, Auyon Mukharji\, Harris Paseltiner and David Senft\, four likeminded multi-instrumentalists who first met at Williams College in 2009\, Darlingside’s career has been defined by the elegance of their compositions and the unity of their four voices. Their talent for harmony and melodic world-building is part of what garnered praise from outlets like NPR\, Rolling Stone and The New Yorker\, and what has created demand worldwide for their extraordinary live performances. \n\nIt’s a rare thing and becoming rarer by the day: a group of musicians with that emulsifying magic to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts. And to see Darlingside perform live is to confirm this special chemistry. With the release of Everything Is Alive the band will\, for the first time\, take to the road without Dave Senft. Instead of filling his spot directly\, the band has wisely chosen to honor the special chemistry of the foursome by letting those arrangements live on the recordings without obligation to faithfully recreate them onstage. While Dave remains a contributing member of the band\, on tour Darlingside will perform in a completely different configuration altogether—a configuration that will\, at times\, include the album’s drummer Ben Burns\, singer Molly Parden\, and others—proving again how the group can adroitly rearrange themselves for the breaking of a new and different day.

Gilmore answers: “But I know when it does you’re going to be my friend.”\n\nSix years later\, they’re serving notice that the old highway hasn’t ended yet. “We’re still standing\, no matter what you might hear\,” they sing on “We’re Still Here\,” the final track to their latest album TexiCali\, which continues to bridge the distance between the two troubadours’ respective home bases of California (Alvin) and Texas (Gilmore).\n\nThe geographic theme reflects Alvin’s repeated journeys to record in Central Texas with Gilmore and the Austin-based backing band that has toured with the duo for the past few years. As Alvin puts it in the liner notes\, those road trips informed the music they made on TexiCali:\n\nFrom one part of the borderland to another\, through concrete swaths of traffic\, tract homes and shopping malls\, across vast rocky deserts of Joshua trees\, saguaros and ocotillo\, speeding by forgotten battlefields\, remote mining towns\, corrido barrooms\, cinder block churches and abandoned houses filled with abandoned dreams\, past Mission San Xavier del Bac\, Cochise’s Stronghold and Apache Pass\, into the shimmering lights of El Paso/Juarez before the seemingly eternal emptiness of West Texas\, traveling those 1\,400 miles somewhere between Nothingness and Everything.

As one reviewer recently wrote: “PPL’s sound combines sweet memories with edgy\, contemporary muscle. Their vocals are as strong as Kentucky moonshine and the musicianship and performance skills are as sharp as a straight razor”. \n\nTheir eponymous first album - featuring the Norman Rockwell/Saturday Evening Post cover that introduced fans to PPL’s trademark cowpoke “Sad Luke” - has been hailed as a “major early influence in the emerging popularity of Country-Rock music”. Their second effort\, the multi-platinum “Bustin’ Out” brought us the Craig Fuller-penned classic “Amie”\, along with other gems of the genre. With “Two Lane Highway”\, nine more albums and countless shows\, a legacy has been forged and enriched\, highlighting contributions from several noteworthy members\, including original co-founder George Ed Powell\, Cincinnati’s legendary Goshorn Brothers\, Country Hall of Famers Gary Burr and Vince Gill\, award-winning writer Jeff Wilson (3 Top-20 singles)\, top Nashville session vocalist Curtis Wright and a host of other guest appearances from Chet Atkins\, Johnny Gimble\, EmmyLou Harris\, David Sanborn\, Eagle Don Felder\, Nicolette Larson\, Rosemary Butler\, Jenifer Wrinkle\, Jeff (Birdman) Kirk\, Mat Britain and many more.\n\nNow in their sixth decade\, Pure Prairie League continues to lead the way for the new generation of Country/Rockers such as Keith Urban\, Nickel Creek\, Wilco\, Counting Crows and so many others that cite PPL as a major influence. \n\nNow\, with the release of their new album “Back On Track” PPL brings it all back home with a dozen new songs that complete the circle begun in 1970 and continues to this day.
