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:HEP-Astro Seminar | Dark Bondi Accretion Aided by Baryons and the Origin of JWST Little Red Dots
DESCRIPTION:The gravothermal core collapse of self-interacting dark matter halos provides a compelling mechanism for seeding supermassive black holes in the early Universe. In this scenario\, a small fraction of a halo\, approximately 1% of its mass\, collapses into a dense core\, which could further evolve into a black hole. We demonstrate that this process can account for the origin of JWST little red dots (LRDs) observed at redshifts 𝑧∼4–11\, where black holes with masses of 10^7M⊙ can form within 500 Myr after the formation of host halos with masses of 10^9M⊙. Even if the initial collapse region triggering general-relativistic instability has a mass on the order of one solar mass\, the resulting seed can grow into an intermediate-mass black hole via Eddington accretion of baryonic gas. Subsequently\, it can continue to grow into a supermassive black hole through dark Bondi accretion of dark matter particles. In this scenario\, the majority of the black hole's mass originates from dark matter accretion rather than baryonic matter\, naturally explaining the overmassive feature of LRDs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Estimating the (Un)seen: Sample-dependent Mass Estimation
DESCRIPTION:We study mass estimation for distributions over countably infinite domains\, where the objective is to estimate the probability mass of sample-dependent sets. Classical results such as missing mass estimation and its k-heavy-hitters generalizations fit into this framework\, but little is known beyond these examples. We introduce a systematic study of mass estimation tasks defined by set-valued functions that map a finite sample to a subset of the domain\, and identify general conditions under which simple estimators succeed. In particular\, we show that the empirical-distribution-based estimator achieves vanishing error whenever the size of the image space of the set-valued function grows sublinearly with the sample size\, and that the leave-one-out estimator works whenever the set-valued function satisfies a natural stability property. These results unify and extend prior analyses\, yielding new guarantees for functionals such as neighboring mass\, pierced sets\, and structured combinations via unions and intersections. We conclude by broadening our scope to understand the landscape of estimatability. To that end\, we give an example of a set-valued function that is not estimatable and leave open the question of finding matching necessary and sufficient conditions for such functions to be estimatable.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series on the Science of Social Relationships: Shelby Scott
DESCRIPTION:Shelby Scott of the University of Texas San Antonio joins RCGD's Fall Seminar Series on the Science of Social Relationships.\n\nIntimate relationships play a critical role in shaping mental and physical health across the lifespan. However\, LGBTQ+ couples and families face unique stressors rooted in stigma\, discrimination\, and systemic inequities. In this talk\, I will present a programmatic line of research that integrates dyadic and longitudinal methods to understand how minority stress intersects with core relationship processes (e.g.\, communication\, stability). Drawing from studies of same-gender couples\, transgender and nonbinary partners\, and sexual minority women of color\, I will highlight findings from actor–partner interdependence models (APIM) that demonstrate both within-person and cross-partner effects of minority stress on relational outcomes. I will then describe the systematic approach my team has taken to intervention development\, including community-engaged qualitative work\, quantitative modeling of dyadic processes\, and the creation and testing of culturally informed relationship education programs. Collectively\, these studies underscore the importance of moving beyond deficit-based models to highlight both the vulnerabilities and cultural strengths of LGBTQ+ families\, with the goal of dismantling systemic barriers and advancing health equity. The talk will conclude by outlining ongoing and future directions\, including intervention refinement for transgender and nonbinary populations\, the development of minority stress prevention programs for LGBTQ+ youth\, and frameworks for supporting queer parents. \n\nShelby B. Scott\, Ph.D. (she/her)\, is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Texas at San Antonio and Director of the Promoting Resilience in DiversE Family (PRIDE) Studies Lab. Her research examines how minority stress shapes the relational and health outcomes of LGBTQ+ couples and families\, with a focus on same-gender couples\, transgender and nonbinary populations\, and sexual minority women of color. Using dyadic and longitudinal methodologies\, Dr. Scott’s work evaluates both universal and culturally specific relationship processes\, aiming to identify pathways that foster resilience and well-being. She has led intervention development efforts\, including relationship education programs for female same-gender couples and developed clinical guidelines for working with same-gender couples. Her research has been supported by the American Psychological Foundation\, the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association\, and the Association of American Medical Colleges. Dr. Scott is deeply committed to community-engaged scholarship\, dismantling systemic barriers to culturally responsive care\, and training the next generation of equity-focused researchers and clinicians.\n\nAbout the series:\nHumans are social animals and from the earliest days of life\, are dependent on the quality of social relationships with significant others: family\, kin\, friends\, and a growing social network of online acquaintances. But\, how do we conduct research and come to understand the social processes transpiring in these significant social connections with others? What are the consequences for individual development and mental health outcomes of having close intimate relationships in one’s life? There is also a darker side to some relationships in the form of violence\, aggression\, and conflict. How do we study these processes? Social media and artificial intelligence have opened up new ways of thinking about “what is a social relationship?” and how many of these “friends” can one truly have. \n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on different types of social relationships\, spanning family and parent-child relationships\, friendships\, peer networks\, romantic relationships\, attachment relationships\, and the use of online media to maintain social connections. Although several speakers are senior scholars with extensive research backgrounds in the field\, many are junior scholars who are traversing new paths into the science of social relationships. Please join us Mondays to learn more about the exciting field of social relationships!\n\nThis event will be held in person\, watch-party style\, as the speaker will be streaming in. \n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Brenda Volling and Richard Gonzalez.\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Family Formation and Migration: The Legacy of the Opioid Epidemic
DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, we examine how the opioid epidemic affected family formation and migration decisions in the United States. Leveraging variation in local exposure to the epidemic—driven by Purdue Pharma’s targeted marketing of OxyContin and proxied by 1996 cancer mortality rates—we find that commuting zones with greater exposure experienced a significant rise in fertility\, primarily among unmarried\, noncollege- educated women in their late twenties. This increase was accompanied by changes in migration patterns: exposure prompted selective out-migration of college-educated women\, who tend to have lower expected fertility early in life. Our findings suggest that the epidemic altered local population composition and contributed to long-term demographic divergence across commuting zones.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gaussian fluctuations for the open one-dimensional KPZ equation
DESCRIPTION:In this talk we consider the open one-dimensional KPZ equation on the interval $[0\,L]$ with Neumann boundary conditions. For $L \sim t^{\alpha}$ and stationary initial conditions\,  we obtain matching upper and lower bounds on the variance of the height function for $\alpha \in [0\,\frac23]$ for different choices of the boundary parameters. Additionally\, for fixed $L$ and an arbitrary probability measure as initial conditions\, we show Gaussian fluctuations for the height function as $t\to \infty$. Joint work with Sayan Das and Antonios Zitridis.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Generically Artinian modules and duality
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The talk treats joint work of Yongwei Yao and the speaker that is in progress. Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring\, let $P \in \Spec(R)$\, and let $A:= R/P$. We discuss a theory of generically Artinian modules for $R$ at $P$ when $P$ is a prime that need not be maximal: results similar to Matlis duality hold on a *Zariski neighborhood of* $P$.  We introduce the notion of a *generically Artinian module at* $P$\, of a *generically injective module at* $P$\,  and of a *generically injective hull* $E$ for $R/P$.  When it exists\, $E$ turns out to be unique up to non-unique isomorphism after possibly passing to a smaller Zariski neighborhood of $P$. The results are proved under mild conditions on $R$. The key results  show that many statements from classical duality theory hold after localizing at just *one* element of $R \setminus P$.  Here is one example.  If $H$ is any generically Artinian module at $P$  then\, after localizing at one element  $g \in R \setminus P$\, the associated graded module of $H_g$\, namely\, $\bigoplus_{t = 0} ^\infty {{\Ann_{H_g}P^{t+1}}\over{\Ann_{H_g} P^t}}$\, is free over $A_g$: in fact\, all of its graded components are $A_g$-free. This parallels classical results of Grothendieck on generic freeness in EGA\, but the strength of this and several other results is surprising\, because the modules considered typically have neither ACC nor DCC.  It turns out that under mild conditions on $R$\, the local cohomology modules $H^i_P(M)$ for a Noetherian $R$-module $M$ are generically Artinian. These results recover\, in a much more general framework\, earlier work of the authors\, which generalized results of Karen Smith and J\'anos Koll\'ar. The authors have used these ideas to settle long standing questions in tight closure theory.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Duality and Fourier-Deligne for certain connected commutative unipotent group ind-schemes
DESCRIPTION:There is a notion of duality due to Serre on the category of perfect connected commutative unipotent groups (cpu) over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristics k. For the objects in (cpu)\, there is also an analogue of the Fourier transform known as the Fourier-Deligne transform due to Deligne. \n\nIn this talk\, we introduce the category of Tate objects Tate(cpu)\, whose objects are certain connected commutative unipotent group ind-schemes. We then extend the aforementioned notions of duality and Fourier-Deligne transform to the category of Tate objects. This talk is based on joint work with Tanmay Deshpande.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CCPS Roundtable. Polish Cinema in the 20th and 21st Centuries: From the Center to the Margins
DESCRIPTION:*Contemporary Polish Cinema of National Remembrance*\n   \nPolish cinema remains deeply embedded within the framework of national memory\, actively participating in the (re)production of Polishness shaped by romanticism\, the experience of partitions\, and the traumas of twentieth-century regimes. Within this field\, historical cinema has occupied a particularly prominent position\, encompassing both the artistic auteur cinema of figures such as Andrzej Wajda and the Cinema of New Memory of the 1960s. Following the political and economic transformations of 1989\, historical cinema retained its significance: between 1990 and 2023\, approximately 200 historical films were produced in Poland\, marking a gradual yet visible resurgence at the turn of the century through the wave of Polish heritage cinema. This trajectory intensified following the establishment of the Polish Film Institute in 2005\, which facilitated the emergence of what is now referred to as the Cinema of National Remembrance (CNR).\n   \nFocused predominantly on the twentieth-century history of the Polish state and nation\, the CNR is a diverse and multifaceted phenomenon. In this presentation\, Durys proposes to examine the CNR as a site in which affective practices engender communities of memory\, thus negotiating the relationship between the center and the margins of Polish cultural memory. By employing melodrama as a mode and the crime genre as a narrative framework\, Durys will delineate the central images and affective investments within these films\, while simultaneously attending to the silences and omissions that persist at the margins of this cinematic discourse. Through this approach\, she aims to demonstrate how contemporary Polish historical cinema functions as a dynamic field of cultural production\, articulating contested visions of Polishness while also exposing the affective and ideological limits of these representations.\n   \n   Elżbieta Durys is a Fall 2025 Widzinski Senior Fellow at CCPS and an associate professor of education (Cultural Studies Center) at the University of Warsaw. Her recent research focuses on film and history\, remediation of memory in film\, contemporary Polish historical cinema\, as well as film education. In her work\, she stresses gender perspective and critical theories. Durys has written numerous articles on film\, co-edited two volumes on American cinema (2006\, 2007) and two volumes on gender in culture (2005\, 2014)\, and published three books in Polish—the analysis of John Cassavetes oeuvre (2009)\, the monograph of American police movies (2013)\, and *Film as a Source of Historical Knowledge* (2019). She is a member of the editorial boards of *Literatura i Kultura Popularna* (since 2018) and *Education Research Quarterly* (since 2021).\n   \n*Deaf Cinema*\n   \n   As the first technology capable of recording sign language\, film was deliberately adopted by\n   deaf communities as early as the 1910s. The exclusion caused by the introduction of sound in\n   the late 1920s proved to be a catalyst for the growth of deaf audiences. Today\, films by deaf\n   filmmakers are flourishing thanks to the accessibility of affordable filming and editing\n   equipment\, and the distribution systems of disability and deaf film festivals and the internet.\n   \n   Similar to other Eastern European countries\, the deaf film movement flourished in Poland from the late 1960s onwards. In this presentation\, Zdrodowska will present the dynamics of the Polish deaf film movement and how it correlates with political\, social\, and cultural changes in Poland and the Polish deaf community. In the socialist state\, fostering a distinct deaf identity was discouraged\, and social\, political\, and cultural activities were controlled by the state and its institutions. This influenced deaf filmmaking during communism and after its collapse. Another significant development was the adoption of the concept of Deaf culture\, which reshaped Polish d/Deaf filmmaking in the 2010s.\n   \n   Magdalena Zdrodowska is a Fall 2025 Widzinski Senior Fellow at CCPS and an associate professor of media studies and cultural studies at the Institute of Audiovisual Arts at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow\, Poland. She works at the intersection of disability studies\, deaf studies\, history of technology\, and film studies. She currently focuses on the relationship between cinema and deafness and approaches deaf-related technologies\, deaf spectatorship\, and deaf filmmaking as lenses through which to view the history of cinema as both art and technology. She serves as a chair of the Disability Studies in East Europe research platform and as a member of the executive committee of the Society for the History of Technology SHOT. Zdrodowska has translated L. Davies' *Enforcing Normalcy into Polish* (2022). She is currently working on her third book\, *Deaf Cinema*. Her earlier monographs are *Telewizja na pograniczach* [Television on the Borderlands] (2013) and *Telefon\, kino i cyborgi* [Telephone\, Cinema and Cyborgs] (2021).\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
