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. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\n*The exhibition is cosponsored by the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum*.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

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.

Using a combination of materials that are historically perceived as precious John's work distorts\, disrupts\, and re-contextualizes perceptions of materials and their values. His work is at once \, colorful \, playful \, layered and deeply self-reflective in its personal narrative.

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.

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:84303-21621566@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:20250403T181620 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250410T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250410T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:8-BIT Music Exhibit: The Gallery DESCRIPTION:MORE INFO: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/8bitmusic/ \n\nThe 8-Bit Music Exhibit is a week-long exploration of the creation of the nostalgic\, retro tunes many have grown up with and come to love\, as well as a showcase of how such music has been reclaimed and repurposed for continued existence in the modern world. The gallery plans to guide viewers through a history of 8-bit music\, its significance to media and video games of its time\, and notable figures that influenced the legacy of the niched genre. In the workshop\, participants will learn how modern chiptune artists create music from Game Boys and the production software LSDJ\, and have the opportunity to create music of their own design. Throughout the end of the exhibit week\, we will celebrate the historic and modern legacies of 8-bit music in a set of live performances produced by Norah\, a seasoned chiptune artist.\n\nOur goal in developing this exhibit is to highlight 8-bit/chiptune music as a unique form of digital art celebrated for its sound\, cultural significance\, and innovation. Throughout the lifespans of the original hardware supporting this music\, artists often faced limitations due to hardware constraints. These difficulties led to early video game industry composers inventing new techniques and methods for music creation that have evolved over time and remain influential today.\n\nTHANK YOU to our co-sponsors and partners for your support in the creation of this event!\n-> U-M LSA Technology Services Digital Scholarship (https://lsa.umich.edu/technology-services/services/research-tools/digital-scholarship.html)\n-> U-M Digital Studies Institute (https://www.digitalstudies.umich.edu/)\n-> U-M Arts Initiative (https://arts.umich.edu/arts-initiative)\n-> Neutral Zone (https://www.neutral-zone.org/event-list/2025/4/11/free-tech-workshop-chiptune-8-bit)\n-> Ann Arbor District Libraries (https://aadl.org/)\n-> Ypsilanti District Libraries (https://www.ypsilibrary.org/)\n-> Pinball Pete's in Ann Arbor (https://www.pinballpetes.org/copy-of-east-lansing-location)\n-> Video Game Music Club (VGMC) (https://maizepages.umich.edu/organization/vgmc)\n-> WolvSec (https://wolvsec.org/)\n-> LGBTQ+ Michigan (https://websites.umich.edu/~lgbtqmichigan/#)\n-> Ann Arbor Fighting Game Community at the University of Michigan (FGC) (https://maizepages.umich.edu/organization/a2fgc) UID:134668-21874694@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134668 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Digital Culture,Digital Media,Exhibition,Free,In Person,Music,Video Games LOCATION:Shapiro Library - Clark Commons CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250327T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250410T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250410T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:stop-loss DESCRIPTION:stop-loss\, the 2025 MFA Thesis Exhibition\,​ is on view at the Stamps Gallery from March 22— April 12\, 2025.

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).

We show that this urban bias mainly reflected wage growth at large Business Services firms. These firms stand out through their high per-worker expenditure on information technology and disproportionate presence in big cities. We introduce a spatial model of investment-specific technical change that can rationalize these patterns. Using the model as an accounting framework\, we find that the observed decline in the investment price of information technology capital explains most urban-biased growth by raising the profits of large Business Services firms in big cities.

The villagers and the African American troops stationed there saw each other as allies in a fight with a shared enemy\, Nazi Germany\, and refused American military demands to impose segregation. This led to fighting between the white military police and soldiers from the 1511 Black Quartermaster Truck Division\, with over 400 live rounds being fired. One of the African American soldiers\, Private William Crossland\, died on the village streets. Afterward 35 soldiers were tried for mutiny and 31 convicted. This battle galvanised the fight for civil rights that unfolded over the ensuing decades but remains little known in the US. I situate the mutiny as part of the wider Double-V campaign and in the context of the Detroit riots which happened a few days before\; furthermore\, I outline the importance of this incident for an understanding of the Transnational fight against Jim Crow and for human rights by African Americans in a segregated army far from home. My article in The Conversation has attracted 500\,000 views since its publication in 2018 and numerous documentaries\, film-makers and dramatists are collaborating with me in making sure this incident is brought to wider attention for until it was featured on NPR during the 80th anniversary in 2024 (around 50m listeners) it was mainly unheard about in the USA.\nAlan Rice biography:\nAlan Rice is Professor in English and American Studies at UCLan\, Preston and co-director of the Institute for Black Atlantic Research (IBAR).

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have shown tremendous promise for controlling robotic arms and computer tablets as well as restoring somatosensory function. Dr. Willsey’s work focuses on developing an entry level brain-computer interface to help restore motor function for people with paralysis. \n\nThe seminar covers the basic principles of BCI technology\, available recording systems (e.g.\, electroencephalography\, electrocorticography\, and microelectrode arrays)\, and controllable effectors\, along with development of a state-of-the-art decoder. The talk will also describe a state-of-the-art decoder\, used to translate neural activity into a control signal for external devices. Specifically\, this temporally convolved neural network decoder\, which incorporated a time series of neural data into the decoding algorithm\, allowed the simultaneous movement of 3 finger groups\, of which the thumb moves in 2D\, and acquired 76 finger targets per minute. Furthermore\, a human participant with tetraplegia controlled a virtual quadcopter navigating a ringed obstacle course in a physics-based simulation using these decoded finger movements. Finally\, Dr. Willsey will review several new companies that are commercializing BCI technology in early clinical trials and discuss the current challenges in translating BCIs for eventual human use.\nBio:\nMatthew attended MIT where he received B.S. and M.Eng. degrees in Electrical Engineering with a research focus in digital signal processing. He later attended medical school at Baylor College of Medicine and completed his neurosurgery residency at the University of Michigan in 2022. He completed a PhD in Biomedical Engineering during his 2-year resident research time plus an additional leave-of-absence year. His research focused on intracortical brain-computer interfaces\, computational neuroscience\, and neuromodulation. After graduation\, he completed a one-year\, post-graduate appointment as a clinical instructor stereotactic/functional neurosurgery and epilepsy at Stanford University where he conducted research in the Neural Prosthetics Translational Lab directed by Dr. Jaimie Henderson.\n\nHe is currently an assistant professor of neurosurgery and biomedical engineering at the University of Michigan and is core faculty in the neural engineering cluster of the Biointerfaces Institute and a Michigan Neuroscience Institute affiliate. His research interests include brain-computer interfaces\, neuromodulation (deep brain stimulation and spinal cord stimulation)\, and computational neuroscience.

We’ll need to adapt in every community and nation\, in every sector of society\, and\, importantly\, in all habitats and ecosystems. There is a nearly boundless need for deep thinking and careful strategizing about how to adapt to a changing climate. We must be thoughtful about the climate challenges and risks we face\, the various adaptation tactics that are available\, and the hang-ups\, conflicts\, and tradeoffs among those challenges and tactics that might be hidden from view. This seminar will explore climate change adaptation for species and ecosystems\, with an emphasis on constraints\, innovation\, and ways to engage the public in adaptation discourse. The talk will also introduce the Midwest Climate Adaptation Science Center\, an organization providing science to guide adaptation practice in our region.

The high-frequency event study method regresses changes in an outcome variable on a measure of unexpected changes in a policy variable in a narrow time window around an event or a policy announcement (e.g.\, a 30-minute window around an FOMC an- nouncement). We show that\, contrary to popular belief\, the narrow size of the window is not sufficient for identification. Rather\, the population regression coefficient identifies a causal estimand when (i) the effect of the policy shock on the outcome does not depend on the other variables (separability) and (ii) the surprise component of the news or event dominates all other variables that are present in the event window (relative exogeneity). Technically\, the latter condition requires the ratio between the variance of the policy shock and that of the other variables to be infinite in the event window. Under these conditions\, we establish the causal meaning of the event study estimand corresponding to the regression coefficient and the consistency and asymptotic normality of the event study estimator. Notably\, this standard linear regression estimator is robust to general forms of nonlinearity. We apply our results to Nakamura and Steinsson’s (2018a) analysis of the real economic effects of monetary pol- icy\, providing a simple empirical procedure to analyze the extent to which the standard event study estimator adequately estimates causal effects of interest.

To examine the role of (mis)perceptions of regime performance as drivers of political attitudes\, we conducted a survey experi- ment during Argentina’s 2023 presidential elections. At baseline\, optimistic beliefs about the performance of populist and non-democratic regimes were widespread\, and correlated with support for these regimes. When exposed to randomly assigned informational treat- ments challenging optimistic views about right-wing populism or autocracies\, individuals significantly adjusted their beliefs and their support for candidates associated with such regimes. We explore the impact of different information sources\, showing that scientific sources and newspapers are more influential than social media. Although individuals ap- pear to adjust their beliefs and attitudes in response to credible information\, we find that information countering people’s beliefs reduces their demand for additional information on regime performance\, consistent with an important role for motivated reasoning.

However\, these interfaces are typically structurally heterogeneous\, which impedes interpreting the structure-activity relationships using conventional ensemble electrochemical measurements. In this presentation\, I will discuss our efforts toward developing and applying electroanalytical techniques—such as scanning electrochemical probe microscopy and correlative microscopy—to gain new knowledge from electrochemical interfacial heterogeneity. First\, I will discuss our efforts towards simultaneous probing of local activity and product selectivity in electrocatalytic reactions via a hybrid scanning electrochemical probe microscopy approach\, equivalent to a miniature rotating ring disk electrode. Combined with correlative electron microscopy\, this approach enables simultaneous mapping of the facet-dependent activity and selectivity in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on polycrystalline Au and Pt. In the second example\, I will discuss the approach to measure site-specific nucleation kinetics and energetics in electrodeposition\, which plays an important role in the cyclability of batteries that use metal anodes. Finally\, the application of controlled electrodeposition towards accelerated materials discovery will be discussed.

The hundreds of thousands of preserved inquisitorial trials provide an unparalleled—and almost entirely unstudied—source for how people lived within the complex world of art objects that filled the early modern Hispanic world: how they made them\, what they did with them\, and what hopes and beliefs they placed upon them. \n\nBecause of how ambitious this project is (analyzing material from twenty-six inquisitorial tribunals on three continents across over three centuries)\, I chose to structure my book according to problems that arise time and again in the institution’s archives\, rather than trying to create a comprehensive catalogue of every case where images and artworks appear. I strive to read the inquisitorial trials against the grain to attempt to grant agency to individuals accused of sacrilege: why might they have acted the way they did\, if they actually knocked over a statue of a saint? What else might have been at play? What can we glean of their motivations and beliefs from the often very terse descriptions of the witnesses and notaries? How\, in sum\, can we return some dignity to the individuals who are often only marginally present in the discussions about their own purported actions?\"\n\n Host Brendan McMahon (U-M History of Art) will begin admitting participants to the meeting at 3:50.

The group’s name\, rummage\, evokes both a materiality and an intellectual practice characteristic of museum studies more broadly. On the one hand\, rummaging has a tactile quality. It gestures to the human role in how objects are placed and misplaced\, organized and disorganized\, thrown into juxtaposition\, and often randomly re-discovered anew by individuals negotiating various value systems associated with objects. It evokes an image of coming to objects of the past with new eyes and curiosity. On the other hand\, rummaging could also be used to describe an intellectual approach. In posing questions about the how and why certain narratives come to be exhibited and interpreted\, we root around historical understandings of heritage and the power dynamics that lead certain narratives to become dominant. This process is guided by curiosity\, a drive to understand\, and a skepticism of ordering systems.  UID:134124-21873891@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134124 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Tappan conference room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250303T063205 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250410T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250410T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:USA - Campus - Careers in Tax: Diversified Staff Group DESCRIPTION:Our Tax Diversified program (Diversified Staff Group) provides young Tax professionals the opportunity to learn about EY Tax while balancing both the breadth and depth of their experiences.

Curry Distinguished Lecture in Musicology: George Worlasi Kwasi Dor DESCRIPTION:Join us as the Department of Musicology hosts Dr. George Worlasi Kwasi Dor for its annual Ethel V. Curry Distinguished Lecture. Dr. Dor presents a talk entitled \"Ambivalence of Creating Youthful Aesthetic Satisfaction and Cultural Referential Meaning in Today’s Borborbor Dance-Drumming of the Ghanaian Ewe Youth”\n\nABSTRACT\n\nBorborbor\, the most popular dance of the Ghanaian Ewe youth\, has undergone a phenomenal degree of innovative transformations that exemplify the ingenious creative agency and inventiveness of its practitioners. Invented in the mid 1950s by Kodzo Nuatro of Kpando in the Volta Region of Ghana\, Borborbor has witnessed substantial changes in the areas of instrumentation\, choreography and movement\, geo-cultural scope of its practice\, typology and multiple performance contexts and their attendant meanings\, and its economic potential. To explore the nature and processes of changes that have shaped the genre over its seven decades’ period of existence\, we organized a one-day symposium on Borborbor at the University of Ghana in June 2024. This Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program activity brought together invited practitioners from the socio-cultural and academic communities to dialogue. For our ethnographic strategy\, we used focus group interviews and discussion sessions involving the preceding cultural custodians and intellectuals to elicit specialized perspectives. The symposium culminated in an evening concert given by the Abeka Dekaworwor Fafali Borborbor Band and Kpoeta Ashanti Mile Norvisi group. We video recorded the focus group discussion and performances into ethnographic data\, and today’s presentation is an outgrowth of this on-going research. After explaining the genre’s compelling aesthetic appeal to Ghanaians beyond the Ewe and exploring what the symposium participants considered as referential meaning in Borborbor\, I discuss the emerging ambivalences in the areas of dancing\, views on appropriation\, and Borborbor in the church. I close the discussion with some summative thoughts and ramifications of the symposium for our research project on the generational changes and creative innovations in Borborbor.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER\n\nProf. GEORGE WORLASI KWASI DOR\, a Ghanaian Ewe\, is the McDonnell Barksdale Chair of Ethnomusicology\, Professor of Music\, and the founder and director of the African Drum and Dance Ensemble at the University of Mississippi (UM).

Knowledge of textile history is thus key to our understanding of a multitude of human issues. Textiles can tell us about social\, chronological\, and cultural aspects of past societies and at the same time give us a unique opportunity to come very close to the individual people in their capacity as both users and makers of textiles. \n\nIconographic sources indicate that textiles were used for a variety of purposes by the Etruscans and other peoples of ancient Italy\, but until recently\, little was known about what these textiles were like and how they were produced. The latest and ongoing studies of the surviving fabric remains found primarily in burial contexts and textile tools from settlements are\, for the first time\, permitting not only qualitative but also quantitative assessment of textile production and consumption in pre-Roman Italy and more broadly across Europe. \n\nMargarita Gleba is an associate professor at the University of Padua. She specializes in the prehistory and protohistory of the Mediterranean region\, the archaeology of textiles and other organic materials\, and the use of scientific methods in archaeology.\n\nThis free\, public event is supported by the Kozma Lecture Fund.

How will human work evolve as AI adoption progresses and what will that mean for how people earn a living? How will it reshape how people find meaning and purpose in life? Will the winner-take-most economy of the past several decades continue\, further increasing inequality\, or will AI be the great equalizer? While many things remain unknown\, economist Betsey Stevenson will take us through what we can learn from the past\, what we are already seeing today\, and what might be the best way forward for both income and human flourishing. \n\nBiography\nBetsey Stevenson is a professor of public policy and economics at the University of Michigan. She is also a faculty research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research\, a visiting associate professor of economics at the University of Sydney\, a research fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research\, a fellow of the Ifo Institute for Economic Research in Munich\, and serves on the executive committee of the American Economic Association.

She served as the chief economist of the U.S. Department of Labor from 2010 to 2011\, advising the Secretary of Labor on labor policy and participating as the secretary’s deputy to the White House economic team. She has held previous positions at Princeton University and at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.\n\nDr. Stevenson is a labor economist who has published widely in leading economics journals about the labor market and the impact of public policies on outcomes both in the labor market and for families as they adjust to changing labor market opportunities. Her research explores women’s labor market experiences\, the economic forces shaping the modern family\, and how these labor market experiences and economic forces on the family influence each other. She is a columnist for Bloomberg View\, and her analysis of economic data and the economy are frequently covered in both print and television media.\n\nDr. Stevenson earned a BA in economics and mathematics from Wellesley College and an MA and PhD in economics from Harvard University.\n\nParking/Accessibility Information\nThe closest public parking lot to East Hall is the Forest Avenue Parking Garage (650 S Forest Ave\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48104)\, which is a 5 minute (2 block/0.2 mile) walk to the venue.
