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:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Currently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Global Women's Health Innovation\nAbstract:\nDhanu Thiyag\, MD MPH FACOG is an Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Affiliate Faculty of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan. As a clinician-scientist\, she focuses on designing and clinically evaluating medical devices and simulation-based educational programming specifically for the goal of women’s health equity. This is crucial as medical devices and programming not designed for the context of use are typically neither sustained nor disseminated. Examples of her work include devices for cervical cancer screening to diagnosing postpartum hemorrhage as well as simulation-based education to prevent cesarean deliveries to conducting less invasive gynecology surgery. She also focuses efforts on capacity building for women in engineering and clinical research with efforts in Ghana\, Rwanda\, and the USA. She has been recognized for her efforts with a University of Michigan Outstanding International Collaboration Award and as a STAT Wunderkind.  She will be presenting on her utilization of a human-centered design process from the needs assessment to validation testing. She will be using one of her devices and one of her simulation projects as an example.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DE Seminar: On ill-posedness for the dispersion-managed nonlinear Schrödinger equation
DESCRIPTION:The dispersion-managed nonlinear Schrödinger equation models the propagation of pulses through long-haul optical fibers\, where the dispersion profile—and hence the focusing or defocusing nature—varies periodically. When the dispersion oscillates rapidly\, this leads to the Gabitov–Turitsyn equation\, a nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation obtained by evolving the nonlinearity under the linear flow and averaging in time.\n\nDespite substantial attention in physics and numerics\, rigorous results for this model are rare and the sharp well-posedness theory has remained largely unclear. In this talk\, we present recent results that identify a threshold for well-posedness\, below which contraction mapping arguments fail\, and a second\, distinct threshold below which norm inflation can be shown under suitable restrictions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCEE Lecture. Ukraine’s War in Seven Lives: Writing a People-Centered History of the Present
DESCRIPTION:Since 2022\, the Russo-Ukrainian war has shaken the global order—and transformed countless individual lives. Drawing on years of personal correspondence\, interviews\, and diary entries\, historian Danielle Leavitt follows seven Ukrainians through the first year and a half of Russia’s war on Ukraine. Tracing how individuals navigate the challenges of conflict\, displacement\, and daily survival\, she bridges historical analysis and lived experience to reveal how the past and its stories shape the present. Told in staggering human detail that feels both palpable and resonant\, By the Second Spring offers a window into the human dimensions of war—where history\, memory\, and survival intersect every day. In this talk\, Leavitt tells the story of Ukraine’s war in seven lives and reflects on what it means to write a people-centered history of the present.\n   \n   Danielle Leavitt is a historian of modern Ukraine and the Soviet Union\, with a particular interest in Russian and Ukrainian relations\, human age\, generation\, and gender. Her work examines the function of generation and human age in Soviet history and works to insert the stories of underrepresented populations\, such as the elderly and women\, into consequential debates about stagnation\, cultural life\, Soviet collapse\, post-Soviet economic and political development\, and the Russo-Ukrainian war.\n\n   Dr. Leavitt’s first book\, *By the Second Spring: Seven Lives and One Year of the War in Ukraine* (2025\, FSG)\, charted the lives of seven Ukrainians through the first year of Russia’s war on Ukraine. Based on a unique set of online diaries\, Leavitt contextualized her seven subjects\, Ukrainian society\, and its predicaments for a wide audience\, introducing readers to a rigorous but accessible history of Ukraine\, the Soviet Union\, its collapse\, and Russia’s historical relationship with its neighbors.\n\nLeavitt received her PhD in History from Harvard University in 2023. From 2023-2025\, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dimanche
DESCRIPTION:Two award-winning Belgian mime and puppetry companies come together for this stunning visual performance combining puppetry\, video\, mime\, and clowning.\n\nSometime in the near future\, it is the end of the world as we know it. In their small city home\, a family is about to spend their Sunday together\, but the walls are shaking\, strong winds and torrential rain rage outside\, and the storm has only just begun. Amidst this climatic chaos\, the protagonists absurdly attempt to maintain a normal family life.\n\nMeanwhile\, somewhere else on the planet\, three traveling wildlife reporters are doing their best to document the apocalypse. With what little equipment they have\, they film three wild animals on the brink of extinction.\n\nBetween dreamlike fiction and stark reality\, Dimanche paints a witty and tender portrait of humanity surprised by the uncontrollable forces of nature\, observing the absurdity of keeping up appearances amidst an ecological collapse. “Meticulous scenes and beautiful theatrical effects create a surreal\, dreamlike world with an eye for detail. Dimanche is a dystopian parable about the climate\, yet a joy to behold.” (De Standaard\, Belgium)

SUMMARY:Performance:Gemini's Birthday Celebration Concert
DESCRIPTION:Laz and San Slomovits\, the duo Gemini\, moved to Ann Arbor in 1973\, and have played The Ark every year since then. About twenty years ago\, San’s daughter\, Emily\, began joining them on stage\, necessitating a new name for their trio\, Gemily (Gemini + Emily). They’re known for their beautiful voices\, genetically tight harmonies\, a stage-full of instruments\, and songs and instrumentals ranging from traditional American and British Isles folk music\, to songs of the 60s Folk Revival\, klezmer tunes\, pop songs and their own originals. Above all\, audiences have come to love their sense of ease and joy on stage. San and Laz will be celebrating their 154th birthday with this show (they’re twins – you do the math) and will be joined by Emily plus their Good Mischief Band.
