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: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: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: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: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:Probabilistic Deep Learning for Expressive and Reliable World Models
DESCRIPTION:Co-chairs: Kira Barton & Maani Ghaffari\n\nFRB 2300 and on Zoom\n\nAbstract\nIn order to plan and execute missions\, autonomous robots require informative maps that simultaneously model pertinent information in the environment while also communicating uncertainty. While machine learning methods can enable complex reasoning and tasks\, probabilistic methods boast reliable algorithms with quantifiable uncertainty. In this thesis\, we study how learning and probabilistic methods can be combined to construct rich world models that fill in gaps from sparse data\, model rich semantic information leveraging advancements in neural networks\, and model errors or limitations in the map. First\, we study mapping in dynamic scenes where combining temporal sequences of data is non-trivial and simple accumulation of data can leave artifacts or traces. We propose novel techniques that extend semantic scene completion networks to consider temporal information\, develop a new dataset without artifacts\, and demonstrate how scene flow predictions can be leveraged to remove artifacts from moving objects. Next\, we consider how object geometry can be leveraged to perform probabilistic mapping in the Bayesian Kernel Inference (BKI) framework. We propose novel algorithms that structure the BKI operation as a convolutional neural network layer with per-category geometry\, as well as extend the idea of probabilistic inference using ellipsoids to 3D-Gaussian Splatting (3D-GS). To address the open-ended nature of real-world environments\, we create an open-vocabulary probabilistic mapping update method with quantifiable uncertainty\, which naturally extends BKI to neural network latent predictions by adopting a Gaussian distribution likelihood compared to the categorical distribution employed for semantic mapping. Finally\, we demonstrate how uncertainty estimates can guide active perception through the application of optimal experimental design. Specifically\, we show how uncertainty in 3D-GS maps can be used to select informative viewpoints and keyframes\, enabling robots to actively and efficiently navigate to reduce map uncertainty during exploration. All proposed algorithms are evaluated on a combination of synthetic and real-world data\, with several real-world robot experiments. Overall\, this thesis explores a unified framework for robotic world modeling that integrates modern machine learning with classical probabilistic methods\, enabling richer\, more reliable maps for decision-making in challenging and uncertain environments.

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:EEB Student Dissertation Defense - Seeds of Change: The Power of Small-Scale Farming Communities
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Alexa critically examines the role of farm size in sustainable agriculture within the context of global food systems and political economies. She argues that small-scale farms are vital for sustainable development due to their unique capacity to implement eco-friendly practices and maintain local food sovereignty\, contrasting significantly with large-scale\, corporate farming models. The research utilizes a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods to explore how different farm sizes affect agricultural sustainability across diverse geographies\, including detailed case studies in Jamaica and Hawaii. By integrating theoretical frameworks with empirical research\, this study contributes to the discourse on sustainable agriculture and challenges existing policies that favor large-scale operations over smaller\, more sustainable farming practices.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Differential Equations Seminar: Quantum Boltzmann dynamics around the Fermi ball
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we present new partial results on the derivation of quantum Boltzmann dynamics for a weakly interacting Fermi gas. We describe the time evolution of states that are perturbations of the Fermi ball\, and analyze the dynamics in particle-hole variables. Our main result states that\, for small values of the coupling constant and for appropriate initial data\, the effective dynamics of the momentum distribution is determined to leading order by a discrete collision operator of quantum Boltzmann form.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Double Robustness of Local Projections and Some Unpleasant VARithmetic
DESCRIPTION:We consider impulse response inference in a locally misspecified vector autoregression (VAR) model. The conventional local projection (LP) confidence interval has correct coverage even when the misspecification is so large that it can be detected with probability approaching 1. This result follows from a “double robustness” property analogous to that of popular partially linear regression estimators. In contrast\, the conventional VAR confidence interval with short-to-moderate lag length can severely undercover\, even for misspecification that is small\, economically plausible\, and difficult to detect statistically. There is no free lunch: the VAR confidence interval has robust coverage only if the lag length is so large that the interval is as wide as the LP interval.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Inventing the Tools to Unlock the Field of Microgravity Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:As chemists\, we instinctively manipulate variables – concentration\, temperature\, current – seeking the right conditions to achieve a desired outcome or retracing our steps to understand why certain inputs yield specific results. For all the billions of chemical experiments performed in human history\, gravity has been largely treated as a physical constant. But with rapidly growing access to space\, we now have the ability to treat gravity\, one of the four fundamental forces of nature\, as an experimental variable. Without gravity\, we have the opportunity to study how chemical reactions behave without the influence of acceleration-dependent convection\, hydrostatic pressure\, flotation\, sedimentation\, or container interactions. \n\nBut as with any new field of study\, the right tools are needed to understand and exercise its potential.   \n\nThe idea of experimentation in microgravity is not new – the first US space station\, Skylab (1973)\, hosted a series of chemistry experiments\, some as fundamental as “Metals Melting (M551)“. Many of these findings highlight the incredible potential microgravity environments offer for scientific discovery. However\, these experiments\, and those taking place on the International Space Station today\, are often performed in uncreative experimental setups and with equipment that was originally designed to operate on Earth. \n\nThis talk will outline previous investigations in microgravity\, note their findings and critique their experimental design\, and present Astral Materials’ approach to inventing the right tools for Microgravity Chemistry to reach its full potential.

SUMMARY:Performance:Michael McDermott
DESCRIPTION:“one of the best songwriters in the world and possibly the greatest undiscovered rock & roll talent of the last 20 years” –Stephen King\n\nMichael McDermott’s brand of rock n’ roll brims with the kind of well-honed style and wisdom that can only come from a career on the road and a pedigree in the studio. Effortlessly blending natural folk sensibility\, pop hooks\, and honest rock\, McDermott’s music is as much for the outcast as the congregation. It’s an exploration of the dark corners of life’s journey and it resonates middle class truths through the passionate filter of a kid that grew up on Chicago’s Irish South Side.\n \nIf you are a fan of Springsteen\, Van Morrison\, John Steinbeck\, and Patti Smith\, McDermott’s inspirational rock is in your wheelhouse.

SUMMARY:Performance:John Craigie
DESCRIPTION:“…the lovechild of John Prine and Mitch Hedberg with a vagabond troubadour edge.” —The Stranger\n\nJohn Craigie has mastered the art of creating live shows that feel more like intimate conversations than performances. Infusing humor\, wit\, and poignant storytelling\, his shows are a space where audience members feel like old friends. Whether he's headlining solo or sharing the stage with longtime collaborators\, Craigie’s ability to make his crowd laugh\, reflect\, and connect is second to none. As he prepares to release Greatest Hits... Just Kidding... Live - No Hits\, his latest live album captures the warmth and spontaneity of these memorable nights.\n\nAt this point\, there have been quite a few good shows in the rearview… \n\nAs a tried-and-true performer\, he has regularly sold out solo tours in addition to hitting the road with the likes of Langhorne Slim\, Brett Dennen\, Mason Jennings\, Bella White and Jack Johnson. He has picked up fans with sets at Newport Folk Festival\, Pickathon\, Edmonton Folk Festival\, and High Sierra Music Festival. Including numerous European tours and his first Australian tour in spring of 2024 Moreover\, his annual river trip on the Tuolumne River—just outside of Yosemite in California—has remained a hit with his audience\, hosting one sellout after another. Giving back as much as possible\, he notably launched the #KeepItWarm Tour during the holidays. By donating $1 from every ticket sale\, this headline run has raised money for regional non-profits with the goal of fighting food insecurity. An avowed Beatles acolyte\, he has performed acoustic renditions of the albums Abbey Road and Let It Be live in front of packed crowds and partnered with Record Store Day for limited-edition vinyl releases of those concerts. \n\nSimultaneously\, his catalog has continued to reel in tens of millions of streams fueled by favorites such as “I Am California\,” “Highway Blood\,” “Don’t Ask\,” and “Microdose.” Maintaining a prolific pace\, 2024’s Pagan Church saw him join forces with TK & The Holy Know-Nothings. Among many highlights\, it logged six weeks at #1 on the Americana Radio Albums Chart. Inciting critical applause\, Pop Matters raved\, “All of Craigie’s songs are made of something truly ineffable\,” and American Highways assured\, “Along with excellent musicianship across the album\, there are genuinely pretty moments on ‘Pagan Church.’” Meanwhile\, he joined forces with Langhorne Slim for a duet song “Out On The Road.” \n\nTo him\, the live albums seek to achieve a sound where the listener will feel like they’re in the venue\, sitting and experiencing the show with the rest of the crowd.
