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:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Housing Production and the Structural Transformation of China’s Real Estate Development Industry
DESCRIPTION:Join the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics as we host Lan Deng\, professor of urban and regional planning at the University of Michigan. She has been studying housing and real estate development in both China and the U.S. Her research examines the different types of interventions the two countries have developed to provide decent housing and quality neighborhoods for their residents. Professor Deng is the North American editor for the international journal Housing Studies. She is also a co-founder of the Collective for Equitable Housing initiative at the University of Michigan.  Professor Deng holds a PhD in city and regional planning from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and a master’s and bachelor’s of science from Peking University\, China.\n\nAbstract: “Housing is a major source of inequality. While extensive research exists on housing market outcomes like affordability and wealth disparities\, studies on how housing is produced are limited. Much of the existing work focuses on regulatory barriers to development. Few have examined the role of the homebuilding industry in shaping housing market outcomes. This gap largely stems from a long-held assumption in housing economics: that homebuilding is a highly competitive sector that\, if left alone\, will produce whatever the market demands. As a result\, the industry is often viewed as a passive actor in urban development process.\n\nThis study challenges this assumption. We argue that the structure and behaviors of the real estate development industry play important roles in shaping housing market outcomes.  This is especially salient in China\, where the industry has become highly concentrated\, with major developers controlling an increasing share of national housing production. Using mixed methods\, this study examines the dynamics driving these structural changes in the Chinese real estate development industry\, with a particular focus on how these changes have affected local housing production. Our findings reveal the changing nature of real estate development\, how it has amplified risks in Chinese housing markets and contributed to the widening of regional inequality.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:For All Ages Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In the 19th century\, new ideas about childhood and education\, along with advances in printing like chromolithography\, made it possible to mass-produce games and toys. These were not only fun to play with but also taught practical skills and moral lessons. Learn about familiar and unique toys and board games throughout American history in the William L. Clements Library’s new exhibit\, “For All Ages” on view weekdays from 12-4 pm between October 3-January 5.\n\nEven though the objects are behind glass\, the co-curators have created an interactive way to explore the display. Visit the exhibit to participate in a scavenger hunt and win a prize!

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:The Body and Michelangelo
DESCRIPTION:What happens when art becomes an act of anatomy? When the human body\, flesh\, muscle\, and bone\, becomes the canvas through which the divine is revealed? The Renaissance marked this turning point: after centuries of ethereal figures floating in abstract space\, artists rediscovered the incarnate human form. Some\, like Leonardo da Vinci\, sought truth through dissection\, while Michelangelo saw in anatomy a path to transcendence. This talk explores how he fused science\, beauty\, and spirit (from the tenderness of the Pietà to the grandeur of the Sistine Chapel) and how the Catholic Church received his daring vision of the human body as a vessel of meaning.\n\nElizabeth Lev\, an acclaimed art historian who teaches in Rome at the University of Mary and the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas\, has served as a consultant to the Vatican Museums and written for publications such as The Washington Post and First Things. Author of The Tigress of Forlì and How Catholic Art Saved the Faith\, she has appeared on The Today Show\, Nightline\, and 60 Minutes\, and her TED Talk on the Sistine Chapel has reached over 1.9 million viewers! She is a well-known tour guide and has served as a consultant to the Vatican Museums for their art and faith itineraries\, projects with the Vatican Patrons of the Arts and wrote “Vatican Treasures: The Via Pulchritudinis\,” a film presented to Pope Benedict XVI in 2012. She lives in Rome with her husband\, Thomas Williams\, and their son Joshua and is a certified sommelier. Her insight brings the Renaissance alive. You will not want to miss this.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by CHHASSEM-The Center for History\, Humanities\, Arts\, Social Sciences and Arts in Medicine.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Higher p-adic modular forms\; Frobenius lifting and a geometric theory of companion forms
DESCRIPTION:George Boxer's talk:\nTitle: Higher p-adic modular forms\n\nAbstract: The goal of the theory of higher p-adic modular forms is to study the p-adic properties of higher coherent cohomology of Shimura varieties\, just as usual p-adic modular forms are used to study classical modular forms (or coherent H^0).  In this talk I will try to motivate why we should study higher coherent cohomology of Shimura varieties and then give an introduction to higher p-adic modular forms and in particular some generalizations of the works of Hida and Coleman on classicality and families.  All this is joint with Vincent Pilloni.\n\nVincent Pilloni's talk:\nTitle : Frobenius lifting and a geometric theory of companion forms\n\nAbstract : We describe the obstruction to lift Frobenius on Siegel Shimura varieties modulo p^2. We give an application to the theory of companion forms on the modular curve (originally due to Gross\, Coleman-Voloch\, Faltings-Jordan) and on Siegel threefolds.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Particle Systems with Local Interactions via Hitting Times and Cascades on Graphs
DESCRIPTION:We study particle systems interacting via hitting times on sparsely connected graphs\, following the framework of Lacker\, Ramanan and Wu (2023). We provide general robustness conditions that guarantee the well-posedness of physical solutions to the dynamics\, and demonstrate their connections to the dynamic percolation theory. We then study the limiting behavior of the particle systems\, establishing the continuous dependence of the joint law of the physical solution on the underlying graph structure with respect to local convergence and showing the convergence of the global empirical measure\, which extends the general results by Lacker et al. to systems with singular interaction. The model proposed provides a general framework for analyzing systemic risks in large sparsely connected financial networks with a focus on local interactions\, featuring instantaneous default cascades. This work is done jointly with Qinxin Yan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quadratically Regularized Optimal Transport
DESCRIPTION:The quadratically regularized optimal transport problem (QOT) has emerged in the literature as a sparse alternative to the celebrated entropically regularized transport problem (EOT). Unlike EOT\, whose solutions always have full support—even for small regularization parameters—QOT solutions\, or QOT plans\, tend to approximate the support of the unregularized transport problem\, which concentrates on the graph of a function under mild conditions. This gives way to some natural questions that I will intend to answer in this talk\, such as: Why do we care about sparsity? How does this sparsity manifest\, and is it monotone? Can we efficiently approximate QOT? This is joint work with my co-advisor Marcel Nutz and Dr. Alberto González-Sanz.

SUMMARY:Performance:John Gorka
DESCRIPTION:“Gorka is widely heralded for the sophisticated intelligence and provocative originality of his songs.” –The Boston Globe\n\nJohn Gorka is one of the most well-loved singer/songwriters in the folk community. With a career spanning 40 years and a discography of 17 solo releases\, he embodies the best of folk music with his eclectic blend of folk\, blues and bluegrass influences\, insightful lyrics and engaging delivery. John’s career was launched in the mid-80s when he won the prestigious New Folk award at the Kerrville Folk Festival in 1984. \n\nSeveral years later he signed to Red House records for the release of his debut album I Know. He migrated to Windham Hill/High Street for his subsequent three releases\, earning extensive critical acclaim from a variety of publications including Rolling Stone which dubbed him the preeminent male singer-songwriter of the New Folk Movement. He returned to Red House in 1998 and has since released a string of albums that have achieved folk chart-topping success.\n\nHailing from New Jersey\, but forged in the Greenwich Village Fast Folk scene\, John has honed his craft and persona into an unmistakable image. The shy\, wry\, insightful\, and yes\, sensitive singer-songwriter has been copied and parodied. But the old coat he wove still fits\, and still suits him well. The old songs ring as true as they ever did\, and the new ones are just as good.

SUMMARY:Performance:Howley
DESCRIPTION:The next chapter from the brothers who redefined Irish folk music.\n\nFor over a decade\, David and Martin Howley have been at the heart of a musical revolution. As founding members of We Banjo 3\, the Galway-born brothers brought Irish traditional music to new heights — blending it with Americana\, bluegrass\, and contemporary songcraft to create a sound beloved across the world. Their electrifying live shows\, virtuosic playing\, and brotherly chemistry made We Banjo 3 one of the most celebrated acts on the international folk scene.\n\nNow\, the brothers return with a brand-new project: Howley — a re-imagining of that signature sound for a new era. With Martin’s dazzling mastery on banjo and mandolin and David’s unmistakable voice and rhythmic guitar\, Howley is both a continuation and a renewal — rooted in tradition but reaching fearlessly toward the future.\n\nJoined by two world-class artists\, Kiana June (fiddle\, vocals) and Caitlin Leahy (percussion\, flute\, vocals)\, Howley expands the brothers’ trademark sound with lush harmonies\, fiery fiddle\, and rhythmic flair. The result is warm\, vibrant\, and deeply human — a band that feels both comfortingly familiar and thrillingly new.\n\nMartin Howley\, a seven-time All-Ireland champion and the first Irish banjoist to perform on the Grand Ole Opry\, brings dazzling precision and playful charisma to every performance.\n\nDavid Howley\, known for his soulful voice and magnetic stage presence\, fuses the sensitivity of a songwriter with the power of a rock frontman.\n\nKiana June\, the “fiddle-fueled” virtuoso of Gaelic Storm and Come From Away\, infuses the music with both elegance and fire.\n\nCaitlin Leahy\, an accomplished multi-instrumentalist from the celebrated Leahy’s Luck family\, provides rhythmic heartbeat and shimmering vocal textures.​\n\nTogether\, they form a sound built on connection — the pulse of family\, the spark of shared history\, and the joy of collaboration.\n\nWith Howley\, the brothers have created something new: music that celebrates their past but looks ahead with open arms. Their live show is full of laughter\, harmony\, and heart — the kind of energy that reminds audiences why they fell in love with folk music in the first place.\n​\n“Fans of We Banjo 3 will recognize the spirit — but Howley brings it into a new light: deeper\, braver\, and bursting with soul.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Suzy Bogguss
DESCRIPTION:“Radiant and transportive” –No Depression\n\nDuring the creative explosion that was country music in the 1990s Suzy Bogguss sold 4 million records with sparkling radio hits like “Outbound Plane\,” “Someday Soon\,” “Letting Go\,” “Drive South\,” and “Hey Cinderella.\" But you can’t peg Suzy that easily… \n\nIn the midst of her country popularity she took time off to make a duets album with  the legendary Chet Atkins. In 2003 she made an album of modern swing music with Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel. An album of original music in 2007 landed her at number 4 on the jazz charts. Her folk music roots show through in her frequent appearances on public radio’s A Prairie Home Companion\, in the Grammy she earned for her work on Beautiful Dreamer: The Songs of Stephen Foster\, and in her critically acclaimed album and book project from 2011\, American Folk Songbook. In 2014 she released Lucky\, a collection of songs written by Merle Haggard and interpreted through Suzy’s crystal vocals from the female point of view. Her latest offering\, Prayin’ For Sunshine\, is an Americana tour de force with all songs written by Bogguss. \n\nShe continues to tour the world\, both on her own and with fellow country radio divas Terri Clark and Pam Tills as “Chicks With Hits” and more recently\, with Kathy Mattea on their Together At  Last tour. So yes\, you can call her a country singer if you want\, but really that’s just the beginning.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Seldom Scene
DESCRIPTION:Legendary bluegrass\n\nFifty-three years into a legendary career\, much has changed about The Seldom Scene\, starting with the venerable progressive bluegrass quintet’s various lineup iterations over time. But even as band members have stepped in and out of various roles\, what’s most important is what hasn’t changed: an undeniable knack for blending both old and new music and traditions without sacrificing what makes either potent and durable. Their current iteration is a true blue lineup: guitarist mandolin player Lou Reid\, bassist Ronnie Simpkins\, banjoist and fiddler Ron Stewart\, dobro player Fred Travers\, and guitarist Clay Hess.\n\nSince they started up together in 1971\, The Seldom Scene has dexterously performed original and traditional songs while presenting fiery and soulful reinterpretations of material by Merle Haggard\, James Taylor\, and more. The concept of bluegrass unshackling itself from a conservative\, straight-ahead mindset seems like a given now\, when some of its biggest stars fill stadiums and cross over with mainstream audiences\, but the continued presence of the Scene acts as a reminder that it wasn’t always so. Even if their playing style feels more at home in intimate clubs\, where the audience can feel their exuberance radiating from the stage\, the Scene’s elastic relationship to genre established an important precedent that encouraged their contemporaries and allowed bluegrass bands to expand their repertoire in ways that laid the groundwork for today’s bluegrass boom.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dave & Kristi
DESCRIPTION:“Irrepressible verve and joy.” –Daniel Bracken\, Wheatland Music Festival\n\nOne time garage rock troubadour Dave Boutette\, and former Radio City Rockette Kristi Lynn Davis make what could be considered an unexpected musical pairing\, but they have certainly found a way to make it work. Since pairing Dave’s celebrated songwriting with Kristi’s natural gift for harmony\, the duo has delighted audiences at music festivals\, house concerts\, and listening rooms from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to the Maryland shore. Their most recent release THE CHICKADEES reached #11 on the Folk DJ Chart in June of 2025.\n\nFor additional spark in the set list that night\, Dave & Kristi will be bringing along Jason Dennie on mandolin and Brad Phillips on fiddle.\n\nDave & Kristi’s songs mix many schools of American roots and popular music including folk\, blues\, swing\, and old time country. The lyrics testify to the power of true love\, rebirth\, Polka bands\, coffee\, and migrating fish.
