SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world.   Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate.  This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present.  Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change.  Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints.  \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Brothers and Uncles\, Kings and Typecutters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the evolution of the printed page through the prism of one remarkable family of scholar-printers. \n\nPrinting changed the speed and scale at which information circulated. Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cathy Barry Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Cathy Barry has a profound connection to the natural world\, which has shaped her artistic journey. She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MORE Committee Workshop (FACULTY): Getting Your Mentoring Relationship Off to a Good Start
DESCRIPTION:Developed by the MORE Committee\, this workshop helps enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and faculty mentor by facilitating the development of shared expectations. Mentors and mentees work independently in separate sessions to identify their own objectives and styles\, and consider strategies for dealing with possible challenges. Then\, student-faculty pairs work together to develop a written mentoring plan as a means of codifying some of the most important elements (needs\, goals\, mutual expectations) of a two-way mentoring relationship. Among Rackham doctoral students who have written mentoring plans\, 83 percent find those plans useful. Registration and attendance at the same workshop are required of both the faculty and the student. Separate registration for students is available at: https://myumi.ch/6167J.

DESCRIPTION:Developed by the MORE Committee\, this workshop helps enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and faculty mentor by facilitating the development of shared expectations. Mentors and mentees work independently in separate sessions to identify their own objectives and styles\, and consider strategies for dealing with possible challenges. Then\, student-faculty pairs work together to develop a written mentoring plan as a means of codifying some of the most important elements (needs\, goals\, mutual expectations) of a two-way mentoring relationship. Among Rackham doctoral students who have written mentoring plans\, 83 percent find those plans useful. Registration and attendance at the same workshop are required of both the faculty and the student. Separate registration for faculty is available at: https://myumi.ch/2r6kn.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit- Closer: A look at the tiny world around us
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibit featuring the photography of Joseph Ferraro\, free and open to the public at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.\n\n \n\nBIO\n\nJoseph is a conservation photographer living and working in southeast Michigan. In 2014\, using macro photography to explore his backyard garden\, he unknowingly began walking a naturalist’s path and documenting native pollinators and invertebrates. His large format prints of local invertebrates are currently on exhibit outside of the Belle Isle Nature Center\, with other works on exhibit inside the Center. With them\, he seeks to inspire viewers to take a closer look at the tiny world around us.\n\n \n\nArtist Statement\n\nTo me\, the little things matter.\n\nThrough my work as a photographer\, I share the unseen and overlooked world of nature that surrounds us. My focus is exploring the world of invertebrates and showcasing these creatures in their natural habitat.\n\nMy creative process has evolved into a moving mediation\, as I Slow down to observe\, document and connect with my subjects as we interact in the environment. Ultimately\, I seek to capture the unique beauty of creatures not usually perceived as beautiful and aim to create images that evoke emotion and curiosity. In so doing I strive to raise awareness of the importance of these creatures in our world and dispel any fears the viewer may have.\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josephferraro/\n\nWeb: https://www.joseph-ferraro.com

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: Listening to Flourish: Harnessing High-Quality Listening to Build Thriving Organizations\nGuy Itzchakov\nTuesday\, November 18\, 2025\n11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required to obtain login information\nOnline\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/JPNZN\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nGood listening isn’t just passive attention\; it is an active tool that shapes how people think\, feel\, and connect. Professor Guy Itzchakov’s research shows that high-quality listening\, marked by focused attention\, accurate understanding\, and a non-judgmental intent\, facilitates profound introspection\, self-disclosure\, and social connection. When employees feel truly heard\, they report higher job satisfaction and performance\, stronger commitment\, and lower burnout and turnover intentions. Experiments also show that being genuinely listened to reduces social defensiveness\, promotes self-reflection\, and can depolarize attitudes and disagreements.  \n\nIn this Positive Links session\, Prof. Itzchakov will share his cutting-edge research and unpack what makes listening “high quality” and why it matters for leaders\, employees\, and practitioners. Drawing on studies from his lab and work with organizations worldwide\, he will explain the components of good listening and demonstrate concrete behaviors that make people feel understood. Join us to learn how high-quality listening builds trust\, liking\, and relationship satisfaction\; how it can bridge ideological divides and spark innovation by reducing defensiveness\; and how to cultivate a listening culture through training and practice. By the end of the session\, you will have research-based tools to foster positive relationships and build organizations where people can thrive. \n\nAbout Itzchakov:\nGuy Itzchakov is an Associate Professor and Department Chair in the Department of Human Services at the University of Haifa\, where he directs the “Interpersonal Listening and Social Influence Lab”. Guy received his PhD in Business Administration from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (2017) and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto (2018).  \n\nHis research focuses on the effects of high-quality listening on listeners’ and speakers’ emotions\, attitudes\, and behaviors\, as well as listening training in organizations. Guy’s research includes laboratory experiments\, field studies\, and listening training studies. The latter examines how listening training programs in organizations impact managers\, employees\, and organizational outcomes. Other research lines include attitudes and persuasion\, attitude ambivalence\, and goal setting.  \n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Oil\, Inflation Expectations\, and Household Characteristics: A Nonlinear Heterogeneous Agent VAR Approach
DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, we develop a scalable micro-macro modeling framework that integrates linear multivariate time series models with nonlinear panel models to investigate to what extent oil supply shocks affect household inflation expectations in the Euro area in a heterogeneous and nonlinear way. We rely on a unique and very rich multi-country micro dataset of quantitative inflation expectations from the European Commission’s monthly business and consumer survey that allows us to construct pseudo individuals based on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. To capture nonlinearities in group-level dynamics\, we explicitly model the responses of our pseudo individuals as nonlinear functions of area-wide macroeconomic aggregates using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART). We find pronounced asymmetries in the response of aggregate inflation expectations to large oil supply shocks and a considerable degree of heterogeneity across countries\, gender\, income\, and age groups. We explore several economic mechanisms to explain cross-country and group-level differences in the adjustment of inflation expectations to oil supply shocks of different magnitude and sign.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Curiosity as Vice? A Virtuous Approach to Learning in Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Medical training shapes what we know\, but also who we become. Yet too often\, students approach learning with fear\, self-protection and the need to appear certain. Dr. Benjamin Frush invites us to imagine another way — one that views the unknown as opportunity\, knowledge as something to share and humility as a source of strength. Drawing on theologian Paul Griffiths’ distinction between the vice of curiositas and the virtue of studiositas\, Dr. Frush explores how a healthier moral posture toward learning can transform both medical education and patient care. \n\nDr. Benjamin Frush\, MD\, MA\, is a palliative care physician and the McDonald Agape Fellow in Bioethics at the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University. He is a former fellow at the Theology\, Medicine\, and Culture Fellowship at Duke Divinity School\; a current bioethics scholar at the Paul Ramsey Institute\; and a former fellow at the Fellowship at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE). His work in AMA Journal of Ethics\, Perspectives in Biology and Medicine and Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics focuses on virtue\, moral formation and end-of-life care. We first heard him speak at the Conference on Medicine and Religion and knew right away we had to bring him as a speaker. You won’t want to miss this conversation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Trait complexity in squamate reptiles and its effects on evolutionary analyses
DESCRIPTION:Description: Functional and phenotypic traits are used as tools for studying evolutionary diversification and ecological interactions. However\, many features that constitute these traits are complex\, multidimensional and challenging to quantify. In this presentation\, I investigate how representations of the same biological trait can influence downstream assessments of evolutionary outcomes. I use snake diets as a case study\, with diet acting as a case example of an ecological trait that can be represented under different biological criteria. I will apply a similar approach to a color pattern dataset of Australian lizards (Ctenotus) in the remainder of my dissertation and will use multiple scoring and modeling approaches to test how color pattern has evolved within in this genus. Finally\, I will leverage phylogenomic and microhabitat data to explore the distribution of color patterns in populations undergoing different stages of speciation and apply this knowledge to improve understanding of species boundaries between Ctenotus. In doing so\, I will provide a more holistic view of how organisms and their traits evolve over time.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Authoritarian Absorption: The Transnational Remaking of Epidemic Politics in China
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/E8D82\n\nChallenging conventional wisdom crediting domestic factors with shaping health institutions\, this talk demonstrates how foreign organizations\, government agencies\, and grassroots activists collectively transformed China’s epidemic governance. Under pressure from international norms and donors (especially from the U.S. and U.K.)\, Chinese officials selectively absorbed Western epidemiology and liberal practices such as community participation\, human rights discourse\, and NGO engagement to enhance China’s global standing. Rather than promoting political liberalization\, these engagements enabled the state to build a professionalized yet stratified disease surveillance system that laid the groundwork for its COVID-19 responses. This hybrid system empowered certain groups such as urban gay men to gain state recognition and resources\, while making other marginalized populations invisible. This talk corrects a core misconception—that liberal diffusion and authoritarian expansion are opposite—by revealing their mutual constitution in biomedical politics. \n\n   Yan Long is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of California\, Berkeley. She is a political and organizational sociologist whose research explores the interplay between globalization and authoritarian politics\, with a focus on public health\, civic action\, and urban development. Her work has been published in leading journals such as the American Journal of Sociology\, Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory\, and Social Science & Medicine\, earning her over ten national awards. She is currently investigating how digital technology shapes urban governance during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:The Human Opportunity in an AI-Driven World
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence is evolving faster than our institutions\, policies\, and cultural norms can keep up. As technologies advance toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)\, we face urgent questions—not only about AI’s capabilities\, but also about ensuring it serves the public good. \n\nIn this webinar\, U-M Assistant Vice President of Emerging Technology and Support Services\, Bob Jones\, challenges outdated innovation models and offers a new framework: we need evangelists to imagine boldly\, champions to protect what matters\, and builders to shape the systems we need. Rooted in the University of Michigan’s values\, this session calls on Wolverines to lead ethically\, courageously\, and collaboratively in the age of AI.\n\nYou’ll learn: \nTips to harness the power of AI to excel in today’s dynamic job market.\nHow to effectively integrate AI into your work to stay ahead in your career.\nWays to use AI to drive innovation while upholding ethical standards and values.\n\nPrepare to lead and thrive in the AI era!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Regions of the Mind: 19th-Century Travel Writing and Neurodiversity
DESCRIPTION:With the “Hear\, Here” series\, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.\n\nAbout this talk:\nIn her 1843 travelogue of the Great Lakes region\, American intellectual Margaret Fuller digresses at length about the “Seeress of Prevorst\,” whose cognitive disturbances were understood as supernatural visitations. This talk proposes one explanation for Fuller and her contemporaries’ preoccupation with cognition while traveling abroad: biopolitical anxieties collided with their real-world observations\, prompting Bostonian intellectuals to question theories of natural inequality in ways that might inform discussions of neurodiversity in the present.\n\nIttai Orr is a 2025-26 Norman and James Katz Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and Assistant Professor\; English Language & Literature.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Labor Reallocation and Recessions: Re-Evaluating Unemployment in Interwar Britain
DESCRIPTION:How does labor reallocation across industries impact recessions? This paper takes up this question for interwar Britain\, where the Great Depression coincided with significant structural shifts resulting from World War I and the return to the gold standard. The extent to which workers reallocated across industries in response to these allocative shocks is examined using historical data on relative changes in employment and unemployment by industry. Impediments to worker reallocation are found to have played a substantial role in the interwar unemployment crisis\, but labor market fluidity varied considerably across sectors\, regions\, and gender. The Great Depression intensified these patterns\, but leaving the gold standard was associated with only a modest improvement in fluidity. Differences in worker reallocation across demographic\, industrial\, and regional groups shape our understanding of the causes of interwar unemployment and may have implications for modern policymaking regarding labor reallocation and recessions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2025 Van Eenam Lectures
DESCRIPTION:Lectures each day November 18-20\, 2025 from 4-5 pm in East Hall. \n\n*Lecture 1\, November 18\, 4 pm\, East Hall 1360: E-values and e-processes: Theory and applications*\nE-values and e-processes are potential alternatives to p-values as measures of uncertainty\, significance and evidence. We first briefly introduce the theory of e-values and e-processes\, and then briefly discuss their applications in four areas: a) Combining dependent p-values\; b) Selective inference procedures\; c) Backtesting risk measures\; d) Online large language models (LLM) watermark detection. \n\n*Lecture 2\, November 19\, 4 pm East Hall 1360: Risk aversion\, insurance propensity\, and choice under dependence*\nWe provide a foundation of risk aversion by showing that this attitude is fully captured by the propensity to seize insurance opportunities. Our foundation well accords with the commonly held prudential interpretation of risk aversion that dates back to the seminal works of Arrow (1963) and Pratt (1964). These analyses are special cases of results in the general framework of choice under dependence.\n\n*Lecture 3\, November 20\, 4 pm East Hall 4448: Bridging pure risk and ambiguity in risk measures and optimization*\nWe discuss optimization and modeling of ambiguity in risk management and decision making. We first discuss two different approaches in optimization under uncertainty\, the worst-case risk approach and the model aggregation approach. Then we present a mathematical framework using a sigma-algebra to distinguish between pure risks and ambiguity.\n\nDr. Ruodu Wang is Tier-1 Canada Research Chair in Quantitative Risk Management and Professor of Actuarial Science and Quantitative Finance at the University of Waterloo. He received his PhD in Mathematics (2012) from the Georgia Institute of Technology\, after completing his Bachelor (2006) and Master’s (2009) degrees at Peking University. He holds editorial positions in 8 leading journals in actuarial science\, operations research\, statistics\, and economics\, including Co-Editor of ASTIN Bulletin - The Journal of the International Actuarial Association and Co-Editor of the European Actuarial Journal. Among other international awards and recognitions\, he is the first winner of the SOA Actuarial Science Early Career Award (2021) from the Society of Actuaries\, and a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (elected 2022). His research papers are published in top journals across a wide range of scientific fields\, such as the American Economic Review\, the Annals of Statistics\, the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society (Series B)\, Management Science\, Operations Research\, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.\n\nVan Eenam Lectures: This lecture series is funded by the Weltha McLachlan Van Eenam\, Marjorie Van Eenam Butcher and Robert Ward Butcher Actuarial/Financial Mathematics Fund.\n\nThe Fund was established in memory of the Esteemed Emeritus Professor Cecil J. Nesbitt who was a dear friend of Marjorie Van Eenam Butcher (pictured) and Robert Ward Butcher. The fund was created as part of the Weltha McLachlan Van Eenam Memorial Fund to benefit Actuarial/Financial Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:An Introduction to Operads
DESCRIPTION:An operad O can be thought of as a sequence of spaces O(n) which encode “n-ary operations” satisfying certain compatibility axioms for compositions\, units\, and actions by the symmetric group. Different operads encode different properties that n-ary operations might possess: for instance\, the “commutative operad” Comm encodes what it means for an n-ary operation to be (“on the nose”) commutative\, while the associative operad Assoc encodes (“on the nose”) associativity. Motivated by the homotopy-associative property of loop concatenation in loop spaces\, we’ll introduce A_infinity operads and algebras over them. We’ll finish the talk with the little n-cubes operad and algebras over them (E_n / E_infinity spaces)\, which possess a “higher homotopy” analogue of commutativity.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Tests of fundamental physics with thorium nuclear clocks
DESCRIPTION:Clocks based on hyperfine and electronic transitions in laser-cooled atoms\, with fractional inaccuracy and instability now reaching below 1e-18\, have revolutionized positioning\, navigation\, and timekeeping (PNT) and serve as one of the experimental foundations on which the Standard Model of particle physics is built.  A new type of clock based on the internal transitions of atomic nuclei\, dubbed nuclear clocks\, was proposed by Peik and Tamm in 2003.  Among nuclei\, the thorium-229 nucleus is unique in having a transition at low enough energy to be accessible with present-day laser technology\, and laser spectroscopy of the 148 nm thorium-229 nuclear isomer transition was first demonstrated by three groups nearly simultaneously in 2024.  Due to the higher energy scales and additional fundamental interactions present in the nucleus\, nuclear transitions are much more sensitive to small deviations from the predictions of the Standard Model than atomic transitions.  Thus\, thorium nuclear clocks may offer insights about unification theories\, the nature of dark matter\, or other physics beyond the Standard Model.\n\nI will begin this talk with a brief overview of the thorium-229 nuclear isomer transition and the two experimental approaches currently being pursued to build thorium nuclear clocks: one based on thorium doped into solid-state hosts and the other based on trapped and laser-cooled thorium ions.  Next\, I will present the design and current status of a trapped-ion thorium clock experiment under construction in my lab at UCLA.  Finally\, I will conclude with a discussion of the fundamental physics reach of this and other thorium nuclear clocks.\n\nBio: David Leibrandt is a Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at UCLA. Prior to moving to UCLA in 2022\, he led the trapped-ion optical atomic clock and precision measurement experiments within the Ion Storage Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder\, CO. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2009 and his B.S.E. in Engineering Physics from the University of Michigan in 2004. David is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a recipient of the EFTF Young Scientist Award and the Department of Commerce Gold Medal Award for the development of optical atomic clocks based on quantum-logic spectroscopy of aluminum ions with record fractional inaccuracy below 1e-18.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Beyond the Page and Across Realities: Rethinking Korean Language Learning with virtual reality and augmented reality in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/2r4zD \n \nRecent years have witnessed rapid growth in the application of immersive technologies—particularly virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR)—to foreign language education. Research demonstrates that VR environments provide unique affordances for developing intercultural competence by situating learners in authentic\, interactive contexts where they can negotiate meaning and engage with diverse perspectives. At the same time\, AR has been shown to enhance reading comprehension and engagement by embedding textual and cultural content into interactive\, real-world environments. These emerging tools are reshaping how learners experience language and culture\, moving beyond traditional classroom boundaries to create embodied\, situated forms of learning.\n   \n   This talk will first review current trends in VR and AR research in applied linguistics and Korean language education\, highlighting empirical findings. Dr. Song will then discuss classroom applications\, including both opportunities and challenges for implementation. Finally\, she will share her own research findings\, which investigate the role of VR in fostering intercultural competence and the effects of AR-based interactive Korean reading activities on comprehension and engagement. By synthesizing these strands of research\, the presentation will consider how immersive technologies can inform the future of Korean language learning and teaching.\n   \n   Jayoung Song is Assistant Professor of Korean and Applied Linguistics in the Department of Asian Studies at Pennsylvania State University\, USA. Her research focuses on second language acquisition\, technology-enhanced language learning\, and intercultural competence. She has led funded projects on augmented reality–based reading\, immersive learning through virtual reality\, and the development of intercultural competence\, supported by the Academy of Korean Studies and the U.S. Department of Education. Her work has been published in journals such as Language Learning & Technology\, Education and Information Technologies\, ReCALL\, and Applied Linguistics Review. Her current work brings together empirical research and classroom practice to explore how AR and VR can transform the future of Korean language education.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at ncks.info@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Will Wei Sun\, Associate Professor\, Department of Quantitative Methods\, Department of Statistics (by courtesy)\, Purdue University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) has emerged as the leading approach to aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences. Despite its success\, two challenges remain fundamental: feedback is costly and heterogeneous across annotators\, and the resulting reward models often lack principled measures of uncertainty. This talk presents recent advances that address these challenges by integrating tools from optimal design and statistical inference into the RLHF framework. First\, I introduce a dual active learning approach\, inspired by optimal design\, that adaptively selects both conversations and annotators to maximize information gain\, improving the efficiency of limited feedback budgets. Second\, I present a framework for uncertainty quantification in reward learning\, enabling valid statistical comparisons across LLM models and more reliable best-of-n alignment policies. Together\, these results illustrate how statistics can help trustworthy and data-efficient LLM alignment.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The 2025-2026 Tanner Lecture on Human Values
DESCRIPTION:What is Political Progress?\n Progress is both a necessary and a dangerous idea. It is necessary to motivate political action oriented to the future\, and it is dangerous because the pursuit of progress has often given rise to episodes of paternalism\, colonial domination and narratives of civilisational superiority. In this lecture\, I try to defend a more critical account of progress. I start by distinguishing between moral and political progress\, then explore the relation between political progress and justice. I suggest that we make political progress not when we approximate an ideal of justice that is always known to us\, but when the political institutions we construct reflect what we learn from the trials and failures of the past. To outline how such learning processes might take place\, I defend the idea that the basic function of justice is to regulate the coercive use of power. I further explain how we should understand progress in the norms of justice as the result of cumulative processes of evolution of different views of how power ought to be exercised. \n\nSymposium Panel:\nElizabeth Anderson\, University of Michigan\nPhilip Kitcher\, Columbia University\nDaniel Wodak\, University of Pennsylvania\n\n_________________________________________\nAbout the Tanner Lectures on Human Values\nMichigan is one of nine institutions worldwide that hosts an annual Tanner Lecture on Human Values. Tanner Lectures are funded through the generosity of the late Professor of Philosophy\, industrialist\, and philanthropist\, Obert Clark Tanner\, and his wife\, Grace Tanner. Professor Tanner wrote:I hope these lectures will contribute to the intellectual and moral life of mankind. I see them simply as a search for a better understanding of human behavior and human values. This understanding may be pursued for its own intrinsic worth\, but it may also eventually have practical consequences for the quality of personal and social life.Although the Tanners established the supporting endowment in 1978\, Joel Feinberg's April 1977 lecture at Michigan inaugurated the international series of Tanner Lectures.Each year\, Michigan has a Tanner Lecture combined with an interdisciplinary symposium to which we invite distinguished scholars from around the world. These events are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Overlapping Jurisdictions: How Islamic Courts Upheld Jewish Law in Colonial Egypt
DESCRIPTION:This special lecture by Samy Ayoub\, and moderated by Aaron Rock-Singer\, will argue that legal pluralism in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Egypt was sustained by institutional structures\, procedural norms\, and Islamic legal practice under Khedival rule. Far from resisting pluralism\, Ottoman-era Islamic legal practice facilitated the incorporation of other legal traditions\, including the adjudication of Jewish communities’ affairs\, making them integral to the functioning of the legal order. This coexistence\, however\, was destabilized with the establishment of the secular national courts in 1883\, which progressively asserted universal jurisdiction and ultimately subsumed the entire legal sphere.\nSamy Ayoub (University of Texas Austin) specializes in Islamic law\, modern Middle East law\, and law and religion in contemporary Muslim societies. He focuses on issues concerning the interaction between religion and law\, and the role of religion in contemporary legal and socio-political systems within a global comparative perspective. He has pursued training in both law and Islamic Studies in Egypt\, Scotland\, and in the United States.

SUMMARY:Performance:An Intimate Evening with Shovels & Rope
DESCRIPTION:New Music!\n\nShovels & Rope is the Charleston\, South Carolina–based duo of Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent. They perform as an energetic two-piece band\, stirring up a righteous racket with two old guitars\, a handful of harmonicas\, the occasional keyboard\, and a junkyard drum kit harvested from an actual garbage heap and adorned with tambourines\, flowers and kitchen rags. But the songs are the deadliest arrows in this duo’s quiver. Since 2010\, Shovels & Rope has been traveling the highways and back roads of North America\, logging hundreds of shows and performing for crowds large and small. If you enjoy the tough new strain of Southern songwriting exemplified by Justin Townes Earle\, Jason Isbell\, the Felice Brothers\, Hayes Carll\, and Butch Walker\, Shovels & Rope are not to be missed. \n\nShovels & Rope come to The Ark with their latest album\, Something is Working Up Above My Head.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ember & Ash
DESCRIPTION:Fiddle * Guitar * Fire\n\nEmber & Ash\, the duo forged by Erin Zindle and Alex Holycross\, is as captivating and dangerous as a spark on the wind in the dry season. Armed with fiddle and guitar\, these two Michigan songwriters have had long careers\, both defying genre boundaries in their own respective bands (The Native Howl’s “Thrash Grass” and The Ragbirds’ edgy global folk-rock)\n\nAlex & Erin’s voices curl together like smoky ribbons floating above a wild\, elemental energy. In their live performances the duo seem to come more alive with each note\, stoking a heat that threatens to burn the whole place down.

SUMMARY:Performance:Denitia
DESCRIPTION:“Fusing elements of country\, folk and rock\, Denitia establishes a newfound American utopia” –NPR\n\nOn her new album\, Sunset Drive\, Denitia shares her story of going after something new — a life back in Nashville\, where she attended college\, immersed in both the city’s roots music scene and the community of the artist collective Black Opry — while experiencing the menagerie of emotions that come with leaving behind what you knew and starting over. Across the album\, she draws from the country and alternative rock music she listened to growing up outside of Houston\; the songs of artists such as the Eagles\, Vince Gill\, Waylon Jennings\, Joni Mitchell\, Dolly Parton\, and Neil Young\, ever present in her life\; and the decade she spent entrenched in Brooklyn’s indie music scene. \n\nDenitia’s music has been featured in the films Nanny and The Invitation\, as well as in the series Better Things (FX)\, Broad City (Comedy Central)\, Dear White People (Netflix)\, Shrinking (Apple TV+)\, and The Terminal List (Amazon). She has toured extensively with the Black Opry Revue\; been invited to perform at the National Museum of African American Music and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville\; and shared stages with Jason Isbell\, Amythyst Kiah\, Joy Oladokun\, and Allison Russell\, among other artists. \n\nIn 2023\, Denitia earned one of five spots in a residency hosted by the Black Opry and WXPN\, was named to Rissi Palmer’s Color Me Country class\, and was one of three artists selected for CMT and mtheory’s Equal Access cohort. And the momentum continued in 2024: Denitia was one of CMT’s 2024 Next Women of Country\; was named an artist to watch by the Nashville Scene\; made her Grand Ole Opry debut and opened shows for Mickey Guyton in 2024. Denitia was a featured vocalist in Dolly Parton’s Threads: My Songs in Symphony.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Steel Wheels
DESCRIPTION:New Blue Ridge acoustic Americana with old-time flavors\n\nVirginia-based folk-rock band The Steel Wheels have spent almost twenty years writing\, recording\, and touring\, all the while constantly honing their evolving brand of American roots music. Additionally they are the founders and hosts of the Red Wing Roots Music Festival\, a beloved staple of the Shenandoah Valley. Through the years\, The Steel Wheels have drawn on both traditional form and modern sounds to capture the beauty in all of life’s varied trials and triumphs. Their latest album\, Sideways\, is a meditation on resilience and survival. Trent Wagler\, the band’s lead singer and primary songwriter\, penned many of the songs in response to loss\, and the uncertainty that comes with facing what we can’t control.
