SUMMARY:Exhibition:Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color
DESCRIPTION:We have many significant books from the history of our understanding of rainbows and color theory\, from the writings of scholar Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks. Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Carlo Vitale Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Carlo Vitale is a distinguished Michigan-based artist whose vibrant contributions to the Detroit art scene have flourished since the 1970s. A native of Detroit\, Vitale's work is celebrated as part of the second generation of the Cass Corridor Art Movement\, Detroit’s first avante garde. His art draws inspiration from the sweeping vistas of farmland seen from above\, the intricate patterns of quilt-making\, the dynamic energy of cityscapes\, and the rich tapestry of daily life. Vitale eloquently characterizes his mesmerizing oil paintings and prints as “kinetic\, metaphysical abstractions\,” inviting viewers to engage with the depth and vitality of his creative vision.\n\nVitale received his Bachelor of Fine Arts and Masters of Fine Arts from Wayne State University in Detroit.  His work can be found in many collections including The Whitney Museum of Fine Art in New York\, The Detroit Institute of Art\, Cranbrook Art Museum\, Wayne State University Collection\, University of Michigan Museum of Art and corporate\, hospital\, and private collections throughout the country.

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:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense - Macroevolutionary patterns of a complex phenotype: Disparity\, convergence\, and integration of the Neotropical cichlid feeding system
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Organisms consist of many anatomical systems that function together to form complex phenotypes\, which are involved in tasks such as feeding\, breathing\, or locomotion. These phenotypes require the coordinated evolution\, or coevolution\, of numerous traits to maintain functionality. However\, multifunctional phenotypes face trade-offs that may restrict their diversification. The skull of fishes represents a complex phenotype\, containing over 100 bones\, which perform multiple functions such as feeding\, breathing\, and brooding eggs. Neotropical cichlids represent a fruitful system to study how a complex phenotype\, the feeding system\, has evolved in the context of an ancient adaptive continental radiation\, with repeated transitions to specialized diets\, and a second jaw in their throat\, which is thought to have resulted in their immense ecological and species diversity across two continents through functional decoupling. This dissertation investigates the macroevolutionary patterns in cichlid feeding morphology to better understand how complex phenotypes\, which are multifunctional\, have evolved in the context of constraint and adaptation. Utilizing three-dimensional geometric morphometrics and microcomputed tomography (μCT) scanning\, I explore the diversity and macroevolutionary patterns of the Neotropical cichlid feeding system\, including all bones in the oral and pharyngeal jaw for the first time. \nIn Chapter 2\, I characterize the diversity and phylogenetic trajectories of pharyngeal jaws across Cichlinae. The upper pharyngeal jaw has been largely absent in studies of cichlid feeding\, however\, with µCT scanning\, I am able to describe the diversity of the upper pharyngeal jaw and measure disparity through time\, revealing unexpected patterns in phenotypic divergence. In Chapter 3\, I examine the relationship between diet and feeding morphology\, highlighting instances of morphological convergence and divergence among ecologically similar species. I also reconstruct the evolutionary history of dietary transitions and test for correlations between diet and previously unstudied morphological traits. Lastly\, I test the hypothesis that functional decoupling has led to evolutionary decoupling between the oral and pharyngeal jaws in Chapter 4. My findings challenge traditional views on functional decoupling and suggest that evolutionary integration between the two jaws is necessary for functional decoupling to occur. The findings from this dissertation enhance our understanding of how complex phenotypes have evolved at a continental scale\, and the influence diet has on shaping macroevolutionary patterns.

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:Livestream / Virtual:Specters of Cavafy
DESCRIPTION:The Modern Greek Program at the University of Michigan warmly invites you to a book discussion on the first book in the series \"Greek / Modern Intersections\,\" (edited by Artemis Leontis\, published by U Michigan Press).\n\nC.P. Cavafy’s poetry explored the conditions for animating the past and making lost worlds or people haunt the present. Yet he also described himself as “a poet of the future generations.” Indeed\, his writings address concerns and desires that permeate the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. How does poetry concerned with the past\, memory\, loss\, and death carry futurity? How does it haunt\, and how is it haunted by\, future presents? \n\nIn her book Specters of Cavafy\, Maria Boletsi broaches these questions by proposing spectral poetics as a novel approach to Cavafy’s work. Drawing from theorizations of specters and haunting\, she develops spectrality as a lens for revisiting Cavafy’s poetry and prose\, fiction and nonfiction\, as well as his poetry’s bearing on our present. By examining Cavafy’s spectral poetics\, the book shows how conjurations work in his writings\, and how the spectral permeates the entanglement of modernity and haunting\, and of irony and affect. Boletsi also traces the afterlives of specific poems in the Western imagination since the 1990s\, in Egypt’s history of debt and colonization\, and in Greece during the country’s recent debt crisis. \nIn this online event\, Maria Boletsi will talk with Will Stroebel (University of Michigan) about her new book\, Cavafy\, poetry and haunting.\n\nJoin this event on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96401478491\, passcode: 761866.\n\nMaria Boletsi is Endowed Professor of Modern Greek Studies at the University of Amsterdam\, where she holds the Marilena Laskaridis Chair\, and Associate Professor in Film and Literary Studies at Leiden University\, the Netherlands. She is the author of Barbarism and Its Discontents (Stanford University Press\, 2013) and Specters of Cavafy (University of Michigan Press\, 2024)\, and co-author of Barbarian: Explorations of a Western Concept in Theory\, Literature and the Arts (Metzler\, 2 vols\; 2018/2023). She has published\, among other topics\, on the concepts of barbarism\, spectrality\, crisis\, and literatures and cultures of resistance in Greece and the Mediterranean. Her latest project focuses on the concept of the weird and its mobilizations in fiction\, ecology\, and politics.\n\nWill Stroebel is Assistant Professor of Modern Greek and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Presentation:The Development and Evaluation of Biomimetic Control for Robotic Lower-Limb Prostheses: Advancing Toward Real-World Clinical Use
DESCRIPTION:Co-chairs: Bobby Gregg and Elliott Rouse\n\nAbstract:\nPowered robotic prostheses promise to improve mobility and quality of life for individuals with lower-limb amputation by more effectively replacing the functions of the missing limb. However\, their adoption into mainstream clinical practice remains limited due in large part to a lack of clinically viable control methods to effectively govern their behavior in diverse real-world conditions. \n\nIn this dissertation defense\, I will share our work towards addressing this need through the development of a novel data-driven controller that can adapt to variable real-world conditions while maintaining performance and clinical viability. We investigate the clinical outcomes of our proposed control framework\, showing that it allows both prototype and commercialized prostheses to produce meaningful benefits over traditional passive prostheses. Finally\, we show how the impedance properties of controllers like ours affect the user's ability to walk during destabilizing gait perturbations\, which are inevitable in community ambulation. \n\nIn total\, the work presented in this defense aims to help advance robotic prostheses out of research labs and into mainstream clinical practice by providing a clinically viable control framework that produces concrete clinical benefits while also accommodating the diversity of real-world ambulation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Restoration Toward Robust Native Fisheries in Saginaw Bay\, Lake Huron
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2025 Summer Lecture Series at the University of Michigan Biological Station\, an alumnus will return to the research and teaching campus nestled along Douglas Lake in northern Michigan to give a free\, public talk focused on conservation of Great Lakes native fishes.\n\nDr. Scott Koenigbauer\, a fish biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the Alpena Conservation Office in Alpena\, Michigan\, will describe multiagency efforts to restore degraded rock reef spawning habitat and re-establish a once abundant native mesotrophic fish\, cisco (Coregonus artedi)\, in Saginaw Bay. He will characterize a pre- and post-restoration assessment of fish spawning utilization at Coreyon Reef\, and contextualize results with potential benefits to population genetic structure. Koenigbauer also will describe the Saginaw Bay cisco reintroduction program and its comprehensive monitoring at all life stages. Finally\, he will conclude with restoration outlooks for the Saginaw Bay fish assemblage and future research priorities.\n\nKoenigbauer received his bachelor of science in ecology and evolutionary biology from University of Michigan\, and his master of science and Ph.D. in aquatic ecology from Purdue University. His research focuses on Great Lakes fishes\, examining ecological phenomena through synthesis of long- term monitoring\, characterizing phenotypic variation in different environments\, and evaluating restoration efforts to increase or sustain native fish abundance.\n\nThe U-M Biological Station — the largest of U-M's campuses at more than 10\,000 forested acres surrounded by lakes — is one of the nation's largest and longest continuously operating field research stations.\n\nFounded in 1909\, the Biological Station supports long-term research and education. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.\n\nThe Summer Lecture Series is a tradition at UMBS\, where we explore scientific topics with distinguished guest speakers from across the country so our community can learn about our natural world.\n\nThe free\, public talks are on Wednesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. in the spring and summer in Gates Lecture Hall at the University of Michigan Biological Station\, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston\, Michigan — about 20 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge.

SUMMARY:Performance:Tyler Ramsey
DESCRIPTION:Gentle indie-folk from the former lead guitarist from Band of Horses\n\nTyler Ramsey is a singer-songwriter and guitarist known for his evocative\, genre-blending sound that fuses modern folk\, rock\, and alternative influences. Based outside of Asheville\, North Carolina\, Ramsey gained recognition as a key member of Band of Horses\, contributing to their soaring indie-folk sound across three studio albums\, each of which included Ramsey originals including Grammy-nominated \"Infinite Arms\" (2010). As a songwriter and guitarist\, his intricate playing and introspective lyricism became a defining element of the band's music.\n\nWith masterful guitar work and a gift for storytelling\, Tyler Ramsey continues to carve out his own space in the world of folk and indie rock. He has released a series of critically acclaimed albums\, including \"For the Morning\" (2019)\, which showcased his signature blend of fingerpicked guitar\, pedal steel\, and atmospheric rock textures. His latest album\, \"New Lost Ages\"\, marks a new creative milestone\, produced by Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes\, The Shins\, Father John Misty) and recorded in Seattle’s Avast Recording Co. The project captures Ramsey's evolution as both a songwriter and musician\, balancing moments of quiet introspection with grand\, sweeping arrangements.\n\nRamsey’s music is deeply rooted in nature and personal experience\, with much of \"New Lost Ages\" inspired by his life in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Seeking solace during a tumultuous period\, he retreated to a secluded cabin near his home\, channeling his reflections on change\, fatherhood\, and artistic perseverance into a collection of deeply resonant songs. The resulting album\, with contributions from musicians like Morgan Henderson (Fleet Foxes)\, Sean T. Lane(Ann Wilson)\, and Carl Broemel (My Morning Jacket)\, captures both the intimacy of his songwriting and the expansive sonic landscapes he crafts.\n\nTyler’s music\, praised by outlets such as Relix and NPR\, resonates with listeners seeking depth\, honesty\, and a connection to something timeless. \"New Lost Ages\" stands as a testament to his journey—one that embraces both the uncertainties of life and the enduring power of song

SUMMARY:Performance:Mon Rovîa
DESCRIPTION:w/sg RYMAN\n\n“a vibrant crossroads of indie-folk\, Americana\, and shoegaze pop stylings” –The Bluegrass Situation\n\n\"I’m Mon\, born in Mon Rovia\, Liberia. My life can be summed up by being born into a civil war\, escaping the life of a child soldier\, rescued by the hands of missionaries. Spent a lot of my developmental years living in a variety of places with a number of life experiences. And then layered on top of all of this is the assimilation I felt being a transracially adopted refugee. My music in a nutshell is a culmination of these experiences blended with the empathy I feel for the experiences with others. The mission of my music is to heal with others - with every nation and tongue\, in due time.\"\n\nMon Rovîa is partnering with PLUS1 for his upcoming tour. $1.00 per ticket is to be added on top of every ticket sold\, with the proceeds going to charity. Olivia and Claire with PLUS1 will be reaching out directly to your box office to coordinate when I send out formal confirmation letters\, but please include the following somewhere on your ticketing page: Mon Rovîa has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 per ticket goes to supporting Hurricane Helene relief in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of TN. Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to building and improving homes for families in need. As a local affiliate\, Habitat for Humanity of Tennessee is actively responding to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. While immediate emergency response is ongoing\, Habitat for Humanity's primary role will be in the long-term recovery of disaster-stricken communities.
