SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tukilile Vaa
DESCRIPTION:Kaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Nonalignment and Decolonial Imagination: Yugoslav Literary Encounters with the Global South
DESCRIPTION:Yugoslavia’s pivot away from the Eastern Bloc and toward decolonizing countries in the Global South\, which resulted in the founding of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in 1961\, shaped\, also\, its literary and intellectual spheres. NAM catalyzed increasing translations of non-European literatures\, lively literary exchanges with nonaligned countries\, and critical scholarship that explored the relationship between literature\, revolution\, and decolonization. Yugoslav writers and journalists—often former partisans—reported on various movements of liberation in Africa and Asia\, producing a range of “revolutionary travelogues.” Such travelogues aspired to undermine established Eurocentric frames of reference by denouncing colonial racism\, foregrounding historically marginalized narratives\, reflecting on the authors’ own positioning and prejudice\, and advancing decolonial historiography that staged newly independent nations through emancipated\, revolutionary subjects. Concurrently\, Yugoslav scholars\, in conversation with thinkers from the Global South\, made an early contribution to the development of global decolonial theoretical discourses\, while also adapting their conceptual tools to Yugoslavia’s position on the geopolitical semiperiphery. This talk will analyze this era’s intertwining of literary and theoretical production with the politics of national liberation and propose that nonalignment\, beyond its import for Yugoslav culture\, can figure as a mode of reading decoloniality across Cold War divides.\n   \n   Nataša Kovačević is professor of postcolonial literature at Eastern Michigan University. Her research concerns the literature and cinema of migration to the European Union\; global socialism\; and anticolonial internationalisms during the Cold War. This talk draws on her most recent book\, Nonaligned Imagination: Yugoslavia\, the Global South\, and Literary Solidarities Beyond the Cold War Blocs (Northwestern University Press\, 2025)\, which reconstructs the literary and cultural history of the Non-Aligned Movement. She is also the author of Narrating Post/Communism: Colonial Discourse and Europe’s Borderline Civilization (Routledge\, 2008) and Uncommon Alliances: Cultural Narratives of Migration in the New Europe (Edinburgh University Press\, 2018). Her essays have appeared in leading journals\, including Comparative Literature Studies\, Modern Fiction Studies\, Cultural Critique\, Postcolonial Studies\, and Interventions: International Journal of Postcolonial Studies.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series - Rethinking Methods in the Global Attitudes Project: Explorations in Australia and Sweden
DESCRIPTION:MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series\nMPSDS M3 Series\n\nFebruary 18\, 2026\n12:00 - 1:00 pm EST\nIn person\, room 1070 Institute for Social Research\, and via Zoom. The Zoom call will be locked 10 minutes are the start of the presentation.\n\nRethinking Methods in the Global Attitudes Project: Explorations in Australia and Sweden\n\nIn addition to regularly surveying the American public\, Pew Research Center fields cross-national public opinion surveys in more than 20 countries annually as part of its Global Attitudes Project (GAP). The Center’s International Methods team focuses on designing\, implementing\, monitoring\, and improving these surveys throughout the year. In this talk\, we present two research projects from 2025 in Australia and Sweden.\n\nMany surveys around the world\, across modes and methods\, have tended to show a slight left-leaning political bias. Weighting to past vote or party affiliation is a common solution\, but these corrections alone may create excessive variance inflation. We faced this problem in our surveys fielded on the mixed-mode Life in Australia probability panel\, administered by the Australian National University’s Social Research Centre. To combat this bias\, we tested a “voting-adjusted” sampling approach recommended by our partners at SRC\, in parallel with our previous standard stratified sampling design. Taking advantage of panel information and recent Australian elections\, the new method incorporates self-reported 2022 vote into individual weights which are used as a measure of size for PPS sampling. After reviewing the technical details behind this approach\, we’ll discuss our findings on its impact on variance and substantive estimates compared to the standard design.\n\nPush-to-web (P2W) designs are gaining traction in Europe as an alternative to costly – and methodologically challenged – interviewer-administered approaches. For instance\, the European Social Survey announced that by 2027 online and paper self-administered surveys will be their primary means of data collection replacing their traditional face-to-face approach. To better understand this mode and its potential for future waves of GAP\, we recently piloted an ABS-style\, sequential P2W survey in Sweden to compare with our traditional dual-frame phone design (DFRDD). Our presentation will compare P2W and DFRDD sample outcomes in terms of data quality (such as response rates\, response differentiation\, survey engagement\, and open-ended answer quality)\, representativeness (versus demographic parameters for gender\, education\, age and geography) and attitudinal estimates (considering the viability of long-term data trends if mode transitioned in Sweden). The P2W survey included an unconditional incentive experiment as well as a paper questionnaire mailing\, allowing us to present findings regarding the value of these design elements. This section of the talk concludes with key takeaways and recommendations for future mode-transition trials. \n\nSofi Sinozich is a research methodologist in international methods at Pew Research Center. She advises on complex sample design\, survey implementation\, and data quality assessment for international projects across the Center. Prior to joining the Center\, she was a senior research analyst at Langer Research Associates\, where she managed and contributed to a wide variety of survey projects\, including serving as lead analyst on the ABC News/Washington Post poll. She holds a master's degree in survey methodology from JPSM and is a member of the WAPOR Professional Standards committee.\n\nPatrick Moynihan is the associate director of international methods at Pew Research Center. Prior to joining the Center\, Patrick was the survey methodologist in the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Opinion Research (INR/OPN)\, assistant director of the Program on Survey Research at Harvard University\, and senior polling analyst at ABC News. He is a past president of the New England Chapter of the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR)\, served on multiple national AAPOR committees\, and is currently a member of the Committee on Professional Standards for the World Association for Public Opinion Research. Moynihan received his doctorate in sociology from SUNY Stony Brook.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Great Lakes Seminar Series: Charlyn Partridge
DESCRIPTION:About the presentation: Hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae\, HWA) is a small invasive insect threatening hemlock forests throughout the eastern United States and Canada. Eastern hemlocks are a foundation tree species found in sensitive coastal dunes and riparian zones. Once infested\, HWA feeds on the nutrients of hemlocks\, often resulting in hemlock mortality within 4 – 10 years. This can lead to landscape-level changes in biodiversity as infestations progress. Management efforts in Michigan are underway to control this invasive pest with a key focus on early detection. Current monitoring methods involve visual assessment of hemlocks for the presence of HWA ovisacs. However\, this is a demanding task considering there are an estimated 170 million hemlock trees in Michigan. Our lab is using a combination of airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) methods and population genomics analysis to help detect new infestations and gain insight into the historical spread of HWA throughout eastern North America. The information we gain from our work\, will hopefully contribute to faster detections and more accurate range expansion models as HWA continues to spread throughout the Great Lakes region.\n\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Charlyn Partridge is an Associate Professor at Annis Water Resources Institute – Grand Valley State University. Her research uses genetic and genomic tools to aid in conservation and management efforts. Her current projects involve using environmental DNA approaches for targeted species detection and understanding how invasive species rapidly adapt to new environments.\n\nAs of July 2025 the GLERL facility can no longer accept visitors for the Great Lakes Seminar Series due to staffing shortages. Please attend virtually using the link above.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Bulk Locality from Infrared Entanglement
DESCRIPTION:For quantum field theories coupled to any massless fields\, one generally encounters “IR divergences” which arise due to the fact that the asymptotic description of the state contains an infinite number of soft radiative quanta. These quanta have recently gained interest due to their connections to unitarity\, asymptotic symmetries and the memory effect. However\, for the description of any bulk experiment\, these quanta are generally viewed as a nuisance with little physical relevance for the predictions of any bulk\, finite time observable.\n\nIn this talk\, I will explain that this is not the case. In fact\, the situation is quite the opposite: all local physical observables and phenomena depend on the entanglement and absorption of soft radiation. I will explain (1) how this phenomenon arises and (2) why it was missed in the literature and (3) why this result agrees with the predictions of collider experiments. I will primarily focus on the case of QED with and will comment on the analogous issues in QED with massless electrons\, Yang-Mills theories and Quantum Gravity.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Overcoming Financial Anxiety
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is designed for students who are looking to learn more about how being a first-generation wealth builder may impact their lives. Through exploring how our relationship with money develops\, financial anxiety\, and our money mindsets\, we will discuss how this impacts our financial behaviors. Personal finance has often left the nuances of emotion and culture out of the conversation when highlighting the necessary money moves to build wealth. This conversation seeks to highlight where our beliefs about money originate\, how building and creating wealth impact emotional well-being\, and strategies to cope with the shift while remaining true to one's values.\n\nObjectives: Define and identify money narratives and foundational beliefs about money\; label feelings around money and the potential change of socioeconomic status or class\; learn how to navigate the emotions brought up due to being a first-generation wealth builder.\n\nSpeaker Bio: Aja Evans is a licensed mental health counselor\, speaker\, and author specializing in financial therapy. With over a decade of experience\, Aja is determined to help more people break the taboo of keeping money and emotions secret. In addition to her practice\, Aja serves on the board of the Financial Therapy Association\, consults to fintech companies\, and released her book Feel Good Finance.\n\nAja has been featured in a variety of major news outlets including the New York Times\, Business Insider\, NerdWallet\, and CNBC. Aja is on a mission to get more people engaged in living their best lives while attuning to their thoughts\, feelings\, and behaviors around money. Outside of work\, you can find Aja chasing after her two young children as they hunt down the next delicious place to eat.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning seminar in algebraic combinatorics: How to describe general torsion classes?
DESCRIPTION:Last time we saw that we can describe torsion classes of quiver representations of Type A_n by bracket vectors. In this talk\, I will give some more general approaches to describing torsion classes\, First I will illustrate them through the familiar Type A_n example. I will also demonstrate how to use them to describe the torsion classes of the representations of the Kronecker quiver. In the second part of the talk\, I will use these new descriptions to construct a dual notion of torsion classes\, the torsion free classes\, and prove that torsion classes form a complete lattice.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Number Theory: An introduction to Borcherds lifts
DESCRIPTION:Let L be an even lattice of signature (2\, n). The Borcherds lifting takes a weakly holomorphic modular form f for Mp(2\, ℤ) of weight 1-n/2 valued in ℂ[L'/L] and produces a meromorphic modular form Ψ(f) for O⁺(L). The divisors of Borcherds lifts are supported on Heegner divisors. In fact\, the weight and the divisor of Ψ(f) are completely determined by the constant term and the principal part of the Fourier expansion of f respectively. Furthermore\, Borcherds lifts admit infinite product expansions known as Borcherds products. In this talk\, we will use the regularized theta lifts of weak Maass forms to sketch the construction of Borcherds lifts.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | The Final Fermilab muon g-2 result
DESCRIPTION:The muon magnetic moment anomaly arises due to quantum interactions of muons and the vacuum\, mostly due to quantum electrodynamics (QED)\, but with contributions from ALL Standard Model interactions as well as Beyond-Standard-Model physics. The Fermilab muon g-2 experiment employed a 50m circumference 1.45 T magnetic storage ring and measured the precession of muons with respect to the momentum of the cyclotron orbits for six years. The precision of the final Fermilab result\, 127 ppb\, combines statistically limited measurement of the muon precession and measurement of the magnetic field averaged over the muon storage volume employing novel magnetometry and analysis techniques developed at UM. The Standard Model calculation\, based on known physics\,  is confounded by the strong interaction and has incorporated new approaches based on Lattice Gauge Theory. Experiment and theory are currently consistent\, though the theory uncertainty has gotten worse while the experimental uncertainty has improved. In this talk I will tell the story of this precision measurement.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Extreme Matters\, Pressure to Explore New Worlds\, Exotic Solids\, and Star Power
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nA science revolution is underway with the discovery of thousands of planets outside of our solar system\, the creation of revolutionary materials\, and the potential for harnessing fusion energy. Unlocking these discoveries hinges on our ability to understand and manipulate matter to and beyond atomic pressures\, conditions that alter the nature of atoms themselves. At such conditions our intuition for matter begins to breakdown\, with hydrogen becoming a metal and perhaps a superconducting super-fluid\, water becoming superionic where protons flow through a compact oxygen crystal\, and unbound electrons getting squeezed interior to core orbitals of an atom. I will show how laboratory laser experiments are opening this science frontier at light speed\, revealing how we might make transparent aluminum-like in Star Trek\, a new exploration into the nature and implications of planets-potential platforms for life throughout the universe\, and controlled thermonuclear fusion. You might take a look at one of our videos as a primer to our discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqabT21d8VM\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nGilbert ‘Rip’ Collins is Tracy Hyde Harris Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Physics and Astronomy\, and Associate Director for the Laboratory for Laser Energetics at the University of Rochester. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Ohio State University. From 1989 to 2016\, he held positions at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory\, including Group Leader\, Physics Associate Division Leader\, Director for the Center for High Energy Density Physics\, and Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff. Rip works with a world-class team of scientists exploring the nature and implications of matter at conditions where external forces overwhelm the quantum forces of the atom and the microphysics leading to thermonuclear fusion. He is the Director of the NSF Physics Frontier Center for Matter at Atomic Pressures. He holds visiting Professorships at Oxford University and the University of Edinburgh. He is a recipient of the Bridgman Award\, APS Fellow\, AAAS Fellow\, APS Award for Excellence in Plasma Physics\, DOE Weapons Recognition of Excellence Award\, NNSA Award for Excellence for Stockpile Stewardship Program\, and NNSA Science and Technology Award.\n\nThis seminar is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Intersections in the Bézout Range
DESCRIPTION:Given subvarieties X\, Y of a complex algebraic variety S of complementary dimension\, must they intersect?\n\nFor projective space this follows from the classical Bézout theorem\, and an analogue for simple abelian varieties was established by Barth. The moving lemma further suggests that\, after suitable translations\, one may even ensure intersections of the expected dimension.\n\nI will present new refinements in the abelian setting and discuss extensions to Shimura varieties\, framed within the ''completed Zilber–Pink philosophy.''

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Reform as Process: Implementing Change in Public Bureaucracies\" Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of Martin J. Williams’s Reform as Process\, an in-depth study of civil service reform across six African countries. Williams will be joined by discussants Donald Moynihan (Ford School) and Omolade Adunbi (Anthropology and African and African American Studies). Elizabeth Popp Berman (Organizational Studies) will moderate.\n\n\nMore about the book:\nBuilding an effective civil service is crucial for public service delivery and good governance\, but reforming bureaucratic institutions is notoriously difficult. This book takes a fresh perspective on this challenge by documenting and analyzing the implementation of more than one hundred reforms initiated by six African countries over the last thirty years.\n\nMartin J. Williams shows that these efforts largely fell short of their goals because they typically approached organizational change as a matter of changing formal structures and processes through one-off projects. Some did yield positive changes\, however\, when they were able to create opportunities for civil servants to discuss performance and how to improve it. Drawing on this evidence\, Williams develops a new theory of how systemic reforms can lead to meaningful change—not by trying to force it through top-down interventions but by catalyzing an ongoing and decentralized process of continuous improvement.\n\nReform as Process makes theoretical and empirical contributions to research on organizational performance\, civil service reform\, and public service delivery\, and it shares practical insights and strategies to help reformers around the world achieve meaningful change in their organizations.\n\nAbout the Author:\nMartin J. Williams is associate professor of organizational studies and (by courtesy) political science and public policy at the University of Michigan\, as well as associate faculty at the Blavatnik School of Government\, University of Oxford.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CCMB/DCMB Weekly Seminar Series featuring Jack Van Horn\, PhD (Professor of Psychology and Data Science University of Virginia)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nHow does information move through the brain\, and could the physical shape of a system be just as important as its connections? In this lecture\, I will explore a new way of thinking about neural networks—where signals travel as waves across curved surfaces\, and learning happens by slowly reshaping the space through which those waves flow. Using networks inspired by cells arranged as 3D “digital neural organoids”\, I will illustrate how activity spreads across layered\, spherical networks\, forming wavefronts\, spirals\, and rhythmic patterns. These waves are not just visual curiosities: their timing\, direction\, and stability determine how well information reaches key regions of the system. By modulating the positions of individual nodes\, the network trains itself\, focusing signals inward\, synchronizing their arrival\, and reducing noise—much like adjusting the shape of a lens to bring an image into view. The lecture will include animated visualizations of nested organoid surfaces changing over time\, directing signals toward a central core\, and sometimes swirling into persistent spatial patterns that can store information. No particularly advanced mathematics is required. Instead\, I hope to build intuition around familiar ideas—waves\, flow\, and geometry—to show how learning and computation might emerge from space itself.  This fresh perspective opens new ways to think about brain development\, artificial intelligence\, and the future of biologically inspired computing.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probability/Analysis Circle: Functional calculus calculus
DESCRIPTION:If A is an n x n matrix\, you might have seen the matrix e^A in a linear algebra or differential equations class. You might not\, however\, have seen a matrix like |A|^e. What does this even mean? One excellent answer involves a construction known as functional calculus\, which appears in numerous areas of mathematics and physics and enables the applications of scalar functions to matrices. In this talk\, I plan to tell you a little bit about functional calculus and then to explore the \"calculus of functional calculus\,\" i.e.\, how the matrix f(A) depends on A when f is a scalar function. Time permitting\, I'll say a few words about the \"infinite-dimensional case\" in which A is an operator on a Hilbert space. I shall assume the audience is familiar with linear algebra\, multivariable (differential) calculus\, and a bit of real analysis.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Reform as Process: Implementing Change in Public Bureaucracies Book Launch: Professor Martin J. Williams
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of Martin J. Williams's Reform as Process\, an in-depth study of civil service reform scross six African countries. \nBuilding an effective civil service is crucial for public service delivery and good governance\, but reforming bureaucratic institutions is notoriously difficult. This book takes a fresh perspective on this challenge by documenting and analyzing the implementation of more than one hundred reforms initiated by six African countries over the last thirty years.\nMartin J. Williams shows that these efforts largely fell short of their goals because they typically approached organizational change as a matter of changing formal structures and processes through one-off projects. Some did yield positive changes\, however\, when they were able to create opportunities for civil servants to discuss performance and how to improve it. Drawing on this evidence\, Williams develops a new theory of how systemic reforms can lead to meaningful change—not by trying to force it through top-down interventions but by catalyzing an ongoing and decentralized process of continuous improvement.\nReform as Process makes theoretical and empirical contributions to research on organizational performance\, civil service reform\, and public service delivery\, and it shares practical insights and strategies to help reformers around the world achieve meaningful change in their organizations.About the AuthorMartin J. Williams is associate professor of organizational studies and (by courtesy) political science and public policy at the University of Michigan\, as well as associate faculty at the Blavatnik School of Government\, University of Oxford.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: Quasi-steady modeling predicts the dynamics of free-falling and flapping plates
DESCRIPTION:The flight of a thin wing or plate is an archetypal problem in flow-structure interactions at intermediate Reynolds numbers. Free-falling plates display an impressive variety of steady and unsteady motions that are familiar from fluttering leaves\, tumbling seeds and gliding paper planes\, while flapping wings or foils are emblematic of bird flight and fish swimming. This talk will show that the key behaviors of both passive and flapping flight may be captured by a quasi-steady nonlinear aerodynamic model that predicts forces from plate kinematics without needing to solve for the flows. Regarding passive flight\, we show that this nonlinear model successfully reproduces previously documented unsteady states such as fluttering and tumbling while also predicting new types of motions\, and a linear analysis accurately accounts for the stability of steady states such as gliding and diving. Regarding flapping flight\, simulations reproduce the well-known transition for increasing Reynolds number from a stationary state to a propulsive state\, where the latter is characterized by a Strouhal number that is conserved across broad ranges of parameters. These findings extend the phenomena of unsteady locomotion that can be explained by quasi-steady modeling\, and they broaden the conditions and parameter ranges over which such models are applicable.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Calls from Home Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Carceral State Project invites you to a free public screening of Calls from Home\, an award-winning short documentary film about a longstanding radio program that broadcasts messages of love through prison walls\, to reach people incarcerated far from home. The film follows the weekly broadcast through prison walls\, portraying the many forms of distance that rural prison building creates—and the ceaseless work to end this racist system of mass incarceration and family separation.\n\nThe screening will be followed by a discussion with the film’s director\, Sylvia Ryerson (Assistant Professor in American Culture and Postdoctoral Scholar in the Michigan Society of Fellows)\, Ken Nixon (Safe & Just Michigan)\, and Chuck Warpehoski (Michigan Collaborative to End Mass Incarceration) on current efforts to address the realities of mass incarceration across Michigan.\n\nThis discussion comes at a pivotal moment: In 2025\, the Michigan Department of Corrections accepted bids for a new statewide contract deciding how thousands communicate with their families—through phone calls\, messages\, tablets\, and video visits. Hear firsthand about local advocacy for more just\, transparent\, and affordable prison communications\, and why these systems must serve incarcerated people and their families.\n\nThe event is co-sponsored by the Carceral State Project\, the University of Michigan Department of American Culture and the Michigan Society of Fellows with support from MI-CEMI and Safe & Just Michigan.\n\nTickets can be reserved in advance through the State Theater events page.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:QMSS's Build-A-(Data)-Website Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join the Quantitative Methods in the Social Science (QMSS) Program for our Build-A-(Data)-Website Workshop focused on building your own (data) projects portfolio website as a way to stand out as a stronger candidate to potential employers and align your abilities with the roles you are interested in. This event will take place on Wednesday\, February 18th from 6-8pm in Weiser 110.\n\nIn the first part of the workshop\, students will learn what a project portfolio website is\, how it can be used\, and things to keep in mind when starting from scratch. Then\, content will transition to specific features we suggest including on your own website and a walk-through of some real portfolio websites from QMSS students as examples. You will learn about recommended platforms for building your website - mostly for free - without needing to know how to code (it's easier than you think!). You will also get in-depth coverage of the type of content you could include with examples of what this might look like for students in different majors or with different career interests. Of course\, we will also include specific ways that QMSS-specific skills can be marketed on your website\, but students will also learn how to incorporate work and skills from other experiences outside of QMSS courses that you can consider including to be beneficial for everyone.\n\nFollowing the workshop\, participants will have an opportunity to share their websites with QMSS and receive written feedback from the presenter and/or QMSS Peer Mentors as well as make one-on-one appointments with the presenter or QMSS Peer Mentors to discuss further.\n\nPreparing for the workshop:\n\nStudents should start brainstorming a list of the various data-related projects and assignments they've completed for consideration on the website. These may include:\n- Any data analysis or visualizations you may have created as a way to develop or practice skills on your own or just because you found the topic interesting (e.g.\, if you keep track of any sports data or stats for certain players\, if you have played around with mapping or geospatial analysis for fun\, etc.)\n- Data analysis projects or reports you've completed as part of a class\, including QMSS courses (more details about whether/how this may be used for a website will be discussed)\nAny data projects you have been involved in for consulting clubs/organizations on campus or elsewhere (more details about whether/how this may be used for a website will be discussed)\n- Projects that\, even if not data-specific\, are highly relevant for your major or your field of interest (e.g.\, business reports\, marketing plans\, etc.)\n\nThe workshop will still be extremely valuable for those that attend without the above prepared in advance! This will just help you hit the ground running for building a website of your own at the end of the workshop.\n\nStudents are encouraged to bring the following to our workshop:\n- A laptop or tablet to take notes and navigate through example websites and website building platforms\n- A copy of your current resume to help you think through ways you can expand on what's included through a portfolio website\n\nOpen to all students!

SUMMARY:Presentation:Poetry at Literati
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the releases of \"Fire Series\,\" \"Interglacial\,\" and \"Antediluvian\" at Literati Bookstore with readings by the authors!\n\nLiterati event description: https://literatibookstore.com/event/2026-02-18/poetry-literati-kelly-hoffer-tracy-zeman-and-kameryn-alexa-carter\n\nAbout \"Fire Series\": Fire becomes metaphorically layered—as knowledge\, as desire\, as anger. The book entertains the many strands of this fiery lineage as it undertakes a poetic investigation into grief and sex\, loneliness and restlessness within intimacy\, and language’s ability to make\, unmake\, and remake things. Hoffer engages in questions of gender\, anger\, and nationality—how women are made subject to expectations of care and fidelity. How Americans are called into conflicts that defy sense\, that defy humanist values. \n\nAbout \"Interglacial\": As humanity reshapes geological time in the present\, our origins are still legible in the glaciated landscapes of the Great Lakes. In lyric language spliced with borrowed text and single-sharp moments\, \"Interglacial\" connects a changing region to our deep-past and near-future. Of bird\, rock\, and lake\, this travelogue catalogs species and places both extinct and extant.\n\nAbout \"Antediluvian\": \"Antediluvian\" engages with themes of the ecstatic\, desire\, mental illness\, and spirituality. Written in part during the COVID-19 pandemic\, the book’s speaker calls on an intertextual constellation of artists as they attempt to wade through agoraphobia\, parse out their relationship with God\, and navigate falling in love. Overall\, the landscape of the collection is a deep dive into the speaker’s psyche\, and what it means to push past the confines of one’s oppressive interior.

SUMMARY:Performance:Solas
DESCRIPTION:“the finest Celtic ensemble this country has ever produced” –The Boston Globe\n\nSolas is lighting up stages across the globe as they celebrate three decades of pushing boundaries and honoring traditions in Irish music. Hailed by The Wall Street Journal as “an Irish traditional band bearing all the marks of greatness\,” Solas continues to captivate audiences with their spellbinding musicianship and genre-defying creativity.\n\nFormed in New York City in 1995\, Solas quickly rose to prominence as a revolutionary force in Irish-American music. Now\, with twelve critically acclaimed albums and a reputation for dynamic\, emotionally charged live performances\, Solas has set new standards for musicianship\, repertoire\, and intensity.\n\nWhile Solas has seen various lineup changes over the years\, the spirit of innovation and reverence for Irish tradition has remained constant. Through every chapter\, founding members Séamus Egan and Winifred Horan have steered the band with passion and vision. In 2025\, they are joined by original accordionist John Williams and welcome two celebrated contemporary artists to the stage: renowned Irish singer and flutist Nuala Kennedy and guitarist Alan Murray.\n\nThis powerhouse ensemble brings the magic of Solas to life in a performance that promises to be both a homecoming and a new beginning. Audiences can expect an unforgettable musical journey filled with driving rhythms\, soaring melodies\, and heartfelt vocals that pay tribute to Irish roots while embracing new creative frontiers.\n\nSolas’ music has always existed at the intersection of tradition and transformation. Whether interpreting a centuries-old ballad or unveiling an original composition\, the band approaches each piece with curiosity\, skill\, and deep emotional resonance. Their ability to evolve without losing their essence has made them a cornerstone of the Celtic music scene and an inspiration to countless artists.
