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: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:Class / Instruction:Summer Institute Course - Designing and Writing Questions for Surveys: Guidelines and Recommendations
DESCRIPTION:Designing and Writing Questions for Surveys: Guidelines and Recommendations\nJune 9-13\, 2025\n1:00pm-4:00pm EDT\nLive Online via Zoom\n\nCourse Objectives\n• Introduce a structural analysis of parts of a survey question\n• Introduce cognitive interviewing as a method for testing survey questions\n• Describe guidelines for diagnosing problems in survey questions and writing new survey questions\n• Focus on the structure and wording of survey questions\, whether for interviewer-administered or self- administered instruments\n• Provide an opportunity to apply the guidelines and principles during in-class exercises\n• Focus on improving individual questions and sets of questions.\n• Summarize research that underlies key decisions in writing survey questions.\n\nDescription\nThis workshop distills research about survey questions to principles that can be applied to write survey questions that are clear and obtain reliable answers. The workshop provides students with tools to use in diagnosing problems in survey questions and in writing their own survey questions. Sessions combine lecture with group exercises and discussion. The lecture provides guidelines for writing and revising survey questions and illustrates how to revise troubled questions. Assignments require that students analyze problematic questions\, revise them\, and administer them to fellow students. Sessions consider both questions about events and behaviors and questions about subjective phenomena (such as attitudes\, evaluations\, and internal\nstates).\n\nWho Should attend\nIndividuals who will be writing or reviewing survey questions or survey instruments or analyzing survey data. This course gives practical guidance to those who have written survey questions but who are not familiar with research on question design\, those who are just beginning to design survey instruments\, and those who use survey data but do not themselves design survey instruments.\n\nThe Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques provides rigorous and high quality graduate level training in all phases of survey research. The noncredit courses are open to all. The courses are live online via Zoom. Registration and payment are required. Course fees are based on the total number of hours assigned to each course\, the hours are listed on the course description. The 2025 schedule lists additional courses.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Understanding Coexistence Outcomes for Intransitive Competition Using Properties of Circulant Matrices
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nA persistent puzzle in community ecology is how so many competing species can coexist in nature despite a naive expectation that the best competitor for shared limiting resources should win. Intransitive interaction structures have been proposed to importantly influence competitive coexistence outcomes for ecological communities. This structure involves a loop of pairwise interactions in which each species dominates over the next if the two were isolated\, but it contains no single dominant competitor for the entire system because the last species dominates the first. Intransitivity is distinctly different than “niche differentiation\,\" the key mechanism of stable competitive coexistence that ecologists focus on\, where interspecific competition is weaker than intraspecific competition. In contrast\, intransitive structures require that the dominant competitor in each interacting pair has greater interspecific competitive effects on the other than it has on itself. Despite a clear difference in mechanism\, so far\, results have suggested that communities with intransitive competition can also lead to stable coexistence for loops of an odd number\, but not for an even number\, an idea we call the “even-odd” hypothesis. Existing literature\, however\, leaves many important questions open about the general tendency towards stable coexistence generated by intransitive interactions. \n\nTo answer some of these questions\, we exploit the properties of circulant matrices. Both community interaction matrices and Jacobian matrices at the coexistence equilibrium take on this circulant structure under a Lotka-Volterra competition model with intransitive interactions of identical interaction strengths around the loop. We can understand coexistence outcomes for this system by analyzing the eigenvalues of these circulant matrices. We also carry out numerical eigenvalue analyses for non-circulant cases arising when interaction strengths vary. Overall\, we provide a more general confirmation of the even-odd hypothesis for a single isolated intransitive loop interaction structure\, but also elucidate the more complex story that arises in the contexts of additional community-wide interactions and multiple intransitive loops.

SUMMARY:Performance:Shemekia Copeland
DESCRIPTION:“The greatest blues singer of her generation” —Washington Post\n\nShemekia Copeland possesses one of the most instantly recognizable and deeply soulful roots music voices of our time. The multi-GRAMMY nominee is beloved and honored worldwide for the fearlessness\, honesty and humor of her revelatory songs\, as well as for her winning\, engaging personality. The Chicago Tribune says\, “Copeland is the greatest female blues vocalist working today. There’s no mistaking the majesty of her instrument\, nor the ferocity of her delivery.”\n\n On Copeland’s new album\, Blame It On Eve\, the songs all hit hard\, with jaw-dropping performances that instantly take hold and command repeated listening. “There’s serious business on the new album\,” Copeland says\, “but there are a lot of smiles here too\, a lot of joyous moments. It’s my blues for sure but it’s the brighter side. Issues are always important to me\, but so is rocking\, dancing and just having fun. And that’s something we all can all agree on.”\n\nWith Blame It On Eve\, Copeland embarks on what she calls “a vacation from all the heaviness.” Blame It On Eve contains plenty of Copeland’s trademark bold and courageous songs\, but here Copeland is also looking to unplug from the weight of the world. “My last three records have dealt with breaking news\,” she says. “This record is for people like me who want a break from the news.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Katie Pruitt: Time Wasn't Wasted Tour
DESCRIPTION:Time Wasn’t Wasted Tour\n\nKatie Pruitt is living proof of music’s power to transform the way we experience the world. Soon after the arrival of her acclaimed debut Expectations—a 2020 LP on which she documented her journey in growing up queer in the Christian South—the Georgia-bred singer / songwriter / guitarist heard from countless listeners that her songs had impacted their lives on an elemental level. With her sophomore album Mantras\, the Nashville-based musician now looks inward to explore such matters as gender identity\, self-compassion or the lack thereof\, and the struggle for peace in times of chaos and uncertainty—ultimately arriving at a body of work that speaks to the strength in undoing harmful self-beliefs and fully living your truth.\n\nMainly produced by Collin Pastore and Jake Finch (both known for their work with boygenius and Lucy Dacus)\, Mantras delves deeper into the empathetic storytelling and incisive self-examination that defined Expectations—an album that earned Pruitt a nomination for Emerging Artist of the Year from the Americana Music Association\, in addition to drawing praise from major outlets like Rolling Stone and Pitchfork. This time around\, Pruitt sets her lived-in lyricism to a folk-leaning sound informed by her love for the more experimental edges of indie-rock\, stacking her songs with plenty of propulsive grooves and overdriven guitars.\n\nLooking over the tracklist to Mantras\, Pruitt notes that a certain narrative thread emerged without her intention. “I didn’t realize it at the time\, but the throughline for this record ended up being my own personal journey of letting go and learning how to love myself again—it begins with tension\, frustration\, and fear and resolves to a place of acceptance\, surrender\, and stillness\,” she says. “I hope when people hear the record they feel what I felt after writing it\, which was a sense of trusting myself and trusting that—no matter how bad things look—there’s always hope where there’s fear. I know that so much of the time we feel alone in our pain\, so hopefully these songs help everyone to see that they can work through those big life changes and end up loving themselves a lot more.”
