SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:Riichi Mahjong Tournament 
DESCRIPTION:This tournament will be split into two phases: Week 1 (Preliminaries/Qualifiers) and Week 2 (Playoff).\n\nEach player will have the opportunity to play in a designated number of east rounds\, and is assigned ranking points based on the final position and points the player obtains in each game. \n\nWhen each player has played the designated number of games\, everybody will be ranked based on the accumulative ranking points earned. Players who end up above the playoff line will advance and be given a seed number based on how they finished relative to the other qualifiers. \n\nThe playoffs will feature a swiss-style format\, where increasingly lower number seeds (better qualifying ranking) will have the benefit of playing increasingly higher ranked seeds. The championship match is guaranteed to be a hanchan.\n\n\nNote: *Players need to have a basic understanding of the rules of the game in order to partake in the tournament \n\n

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:CAS Exhibit. Հմայարան / Hmayaran by Levon Kafafian (Detroit-based Artist)
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Opening: March 12\, 2026\nExhibit Dates: March 12-30\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\nSet within Kafafian's speculative future world Azadistan—a place of magic and spirits beyond a digital collapse\, Հմայարան / Hmayaran is an immersive shrine housing a series of soft-sculptural artifacts reimagining objects Armenians have traditionally crafted for spiritual power and protection.\n \n     Kafafian's focus in this exhibition is on the marks Armenians carve into stone\, clay and wood to imbue meaning\, memory and magic into their lived environments\, particularly as part of folk traditions outside of the realms of church and state.\n   \n     Channeled from the collective Armenian diasporic imaginary\, Kafafian's Portal Fire series depicts a narrative story that emerges from the materials as they are brought into relationship through weaving\, dyeing\, embellishment and thread. In this story world hybrid cultural practices and alternative spiritual modes develop from embodied traditions in response to the changing physical and cultural landscape of Southwest Asia in a future where technological catastrophe has severed global communications and erased digital archives. The multi-ethnic society of Azadistan takes shape through installations\, objects\, texts and performances manifesting the multiplicity of Aremenian-ness through the dimensions of a complicated past and its potential for a vibrant\, evolving futurity.\n\nCosponsor: Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Wayward Images
DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flyways
DESCRIPTION:Iranian-American artist Sheida Soleimani explores themes of migration\, political exile\, queerness\, and environmental crisis through the wildly imaginative and intricate scenarios she first stages in her studio. The tableaus—which often include live animals\, props\, even her parents—are then photographed\, documenting the artist’s process. Each photograph becomes a part of Soleimani’s rich visual storytelling.      \n\n*Flyways *presents a series of new photographs that include images evocative of her family’s history and migration story in juxtaposition with images of injured birds that are representative of Soleimani’s work as a wildlife rehabilitator. (In 2018\, Soleimani founded Congress of Birds\, a wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island.) The change in her practice to include bird rescue results in a revolutionary body of work steeped in passion and articulated in a completely original visual language.

Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.b. You will not be notified of your score automatically. c. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * Students who took or are currently enrolled in an Arabic course are not eligible to take the Arabic placement test. They should register for the next course level.* The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.\nUM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan\, Syria\, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of formal Arabic (fuSHa). \nIf you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Access\, Ability & the Future of Pharmacy
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, March 24\, 2026\nTime: 10:00 am – 11:00 am\nLocation: Zoom webinar\n\nDid you know that over 20% of the American population lives with a disability? Yet\, this is not reflected in the healthcare workforce\, and specifically within pharmacy where less than ~1% of pharmacists formally declare a disability. Join us for a timely conversation on why disability inclusion matters and how supporting pharmacists with disabilities leads to better outcomes for patients and the profession. Guest speakers include Dr. Lisa Meeks\, Dr. Jennifer Williams and Dr. Laura Nellen.\n\nSpeaker Bios:\n\nLisa Meeks\, PhD\, is a Professor of Medical Education at the University of Illinois College of Medicine and a global leader in disability inclusion. As founder of the Docs with Disabilities Initiative\, she has driven policy and practice advancements that reshape health professions education. Her research\, published in journals like JAMA and Academic Medicine\, focuses on equity and dismantling ableism in training. Dr. Meeks is deeply committed to creating inclusive environments where all trainees can thrive.\n\nJennifer Williams\, PharmD\, BCPS\, is a member of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacy (ASHP) and adjunct faculty member at the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy. Her primary area of practice is focused on inpatient and outpatient oncology\, and with complex inpatient surgical patients. Jennifer seeks regular opportunities to engage in education in Inclusion\, as a person living with a disability herself\, which has led to opportunities in policy writing\, webinars\, podcasts\, and a ‘forever’ drive to engage in furthering the conversation related to accessibility.\n\nDr. Laura Evelyn Nellen is a specialty pharmacist at Accredo Specialty Pharmacy\, a division of Evernorth Health Services (The Cigna Group). She specializes in providing personalized care for patients with complex conditions. Living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type III - a genetic neuromuscular condition causing progressive muscle weakness and mobility challenges - Dr. Nellen offers unique insights into healthcare accessibility as both a clinician and a person with physical disabilities. She advocates for inclusive practices\, health equity and patient-centered solutions to reduce disparities for disabled and chronically ill individuals.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"The Family Office: Wealth Elite and their Family Management\"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Stone Center as we host Doron Shiffer-Sebba \, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Northwestern University\, on Tuesday\, March 24\, as he presents\, \"The Family Office: Wealth Elite and their Family Management.\" \n\nPlease RSVP to save your seat. \n\nAbstract: Today’s richest Americans have amassed fortunes rivaled only by estates like Rockefeller and Carnegie\, with some arguing that the United States has reached a “New Gilded Age”. Accordingly\, scholars have studied the social and legal mechanisms through which individuals accumulate large fortunes. Yet we know little about how elites maintain their economic resources as families\, passing their wealth across generations. Using six months of ethnographic observation at a wealth manager that caters to top 0.1% wealthy families in the United States\, I argue that the legal system\, which focuses on nuclear families but largely ignores extended family ties\, incentivizes using tools\, like trusts and corporations\, that disperse wealth across family members. These tools then augment the role of family members and professionals in elite wealth management. They preserve elite wealth but\, paradoxically\, also limit their control. Dynamics within elite families and between families and professionals have far-reaching consequences for the distribution of elite wealth and subsequent patterns of inequality.\n\nDoron Shiffer-Sebba researches the intersection of extended families and economic inequality. He focuses on 1) elite wealthy families and how they organize their wealth\; 2) the role of extended families in economic inequality in the broader U.S. population\; and 3) developing novel computational methods to analyze how people use their bodies in social interaction. In doing so\, Doron employs a wide array of methodological perspectives -- ethnographic\, quantitative\, and computational. Doron is currently working on an ethnographic book manuscript that exposes the structural forces that keep economic elites wealthy and thus sustaining inequality. Before joining Northwestern's sociology department\, Doron completed his PhD at the University of Pennsylvania and served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Sticky Discount Rates
DESCRIPTION:In standard models\, expected inflation on its own does not affect the real investment decisions of firms\, unless the real cost of capital or investment opportunities also change. We highlight a new mechanism\, which implies that this inflation neutrality breaks down when firms’ discount rates (which determine the nominal marginal product of capital) are sticky with respect to expected inflation. Sticky discount rates generate theoretical predictions that are consistent with stylized empirical facts but distinct from the New Keynesian textbook and other standard models: increases in expected inflation directly raise real investment\; demand shocks generate investment consumption comovement\; and the sensitivity of investment to real interest rates is low. Sticky discount rates imply monetary non-neutrality\, even when all other prices are flexible. In the New Keynesian optimal monetary policy problem\, the central bank steers long-run inflation expectations\, even in response to temporary shocks.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series- Spontaneous mutation rate and spectrum are modulated by organismal fitness
DESCRIPTION:Description: Understanding the principles governing mutagenesis is important because mutations are a fundamental driver of evolution and a cause of disease.  Although mutation rates and spectra depend on genotype and environment\, how these factors interact is unclear.  We address this question using mutation accumulation experiments in 11 budding yeast strains across three environments that produce strong genotype-by-environment interactions in fitness.  Analysis of over 9\,000 accumulated mutations reveals that per-generation rates of all mutation types—single-nucleotide variations\, small insertions and deletions\, segmental duplications and deletions\, and chromosome gains and losses—decline with increasing organismal fitness.  Notably\, relative mutation rates between strains tend to invert when environmental shifts reverse their relative fitness.  The mutation spectrum is also partially fitness-dependent: higher-fitness strains show a lower transition-to-transversion ratio and a stronger AT mutational bias.  Thus\, organismal fitness shapes not only natural selection but also the quantity and composition of mutations available to selection\, with broad implications for the molecular clock\, adaptive evolution\, and genetic load.

DESCRIPTION:Sleep plays an important role in the lives of animals ranging from jellyfish to humans. To maintain adaptive waking cognitive performance\, it is commonly thought that animals need to fulfill a fixed daily quota of sleep\, an inherently dangerous state of reduced environmental awareness. However\, studies of birds in the lab and wild indicate that the amount\, type\, and structure of sleep can be highly flexible in response to changing ecological demands. In this talk\, I will provide an overview of our research on ecological flexibility in avian sleep\, including responses to predation risk\, adaptive sleeplessness in male polygamous sandpipers\, sleep in flying frigatebirds\, microsleeps in nesting penguins\, and sleep-swimming in geese. By demonstrating that sleep is far more flexible than previously thought\, birds pose a potentially informative challenge to current theories for the function of sleep.\n\nAbout the speaker: Niels C. Rattenborg\, PhD\, is the head of the Avian Sleep research group at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence in Germany. He aims to gain insight into the evolution and functions of sleep through studying birds using various methods\, including brain imaging. Rattenborg is also interested in understanding how birds reconcile the inherent need for sleep with ecological demands for wakefulness\, such as avoiding predation\, competing for mates\, and flying non-stop for weeks at a time. He is pioneering the use of microchips to measure sleep-related brain activity in animals in the wild. Rattenborg received the Outstanding Scientific Achievement Award from the Sleep Research Society for demonstrating that birds can sleep in flight.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Learning Sciences Lunch & Learn
DESCRIPTION:Minoritized parents have historically been sidelined in parent-school engagement opportunities. Research-practice-partnerships (RPP) have been one way to bring together stakeholders across communities in collective sense-making. We explore the design and enactment of a new activity system where minoritized parents\, their middle school children\, science teachers\, and researchers engaged in the FamJam RPP\, co-design and enact engineering curriculum that centers community and seeds rightful familial presence in middle school STEM. Guided by frameworks of rightful presence\, RPPs for learning at the boundaries\, and cultural historical activity theory\, the findings highlight new possibilities for family engagement through considering the underlying logics of equity. These include spatial and temporal equity\, solidarity for equitable collaboration\, collective responsibility for justice oriented STEM\, and fostering STEM for thriving and democratic citizenry.\n\nIn this presentation we share two case studies: one focusing on students and examining how transnational youth make sense of climate change across personal\, local\, and global contexts\, and another focusing on teachers\, investigating how minoritized educators developed critical transformative agency by collaborating with families to co‑design and implement climate justice education.\n\nThis conversation is presented by the Eileen Lappin Weiser Center for the Learning Sciences.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Transnational Feminist Mediation: The Other Half of the Sky (1975) and US-China People’s Diplomacy
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/Mk23A\n\nAt a moment of renewed U.S.-China antagonism\, this talk revisits a pivotal yet understudied Cold War juncture: the early 1970s\, when ideological hostilities softened and alternative modes of global engagement emerged. Focusing on \"The Other Half of the Sky: The China Memoir\" (1975)\, a documentary co-directed by Shirley MacLaine and Claudia Weill during the first American Women’s Friendship Delegation to China in 1973\, the talk argues that the film articulates a gendered reimagining of diplomacy grounded in everyday encounter. Centering on women’s voices and intimate exchanges\, the documentary maps a form of “people’s diplomacy” that unsettles Cold War binaries and foregrounded socialist feminism\, collective life\, and transnational solidarity—including Sino-African American connections.\n   \n   Ling Zhang is associate professor of Cinema Studies at the State University of New York\, Purchase College. She received her Ph.D. in cinema and media studies from the University of Chicago. Her research explores film sound and acoustic culture\, Chinese-language cinema and digital media\, and the cultural Cold War. She co-edited *Socializing Medicine: Health Humanities and East Asian Media* (Hong Kong UP\, 2025) and is developing two monographs\, “Unruly Sounds: Chinese Cinema and Transnational Acoustic Culture\, 1929–1949\,” and “Sounding Wayward Journeys: Traveling Media in China and the World\, 1949–1989.” Her work appears in Journal of Cinema and Media Studies\, South Atlantic Quarterly\, Journal of Popular Culture\, and Film Quarterly.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Freemium Model for Information Provision
DESCRIPTION:The paper explores a theoretical freemium model for the sale of information\, drawing on mathematical tools used in the study of repeated zero-sum games and Bayesian persuasion. Unlike in standard persuasion models\, the information seller (IS) is not affected by actions taken by the information buyer (IB)\, and is concerned solely with maximizing the revenue from selling information to the IB. Offering some information for free may increase the IB’s willingness to pay for additional information. The information that the IB seeks is modeled as information about the state of the world. Initially\, the IB only knows the prior distribution over possible state. The IS supplies both free and paid information through signals whose state‑dependent distributions determine the IB’s posterior via Bayes’ rule. The IB’s utility is a function of the posterior. An optimal free signal is one that maximizes the IS’s expected revenue from the subsequent paid signal. That revenue is equal to the IB’s expected gain in utility from the posterior induced by the free signal to the one induced by the paid signal. The paper characterizes the optimal free and paid signals and derives a formula for the maximal revenue in terms of the IB’s utility function. It shows that any revenue gain for the IS from providing free information is accompanied by an equally large or larger direct loss to the IB\, implying that free information is never socially beneficial. Whether or not free information can increase the IS’s revenue depends on the form of the IB’s utility function. In the two-state case\, the utility functions that allow such gains are fully characterized. In the general case\, only necessary conditions are obtained. In particular\, if the IB’s utility function is convex\, the IS can never profit from providing free information. This occurs\, for example\, when the IB uses the information to solve a decision problem. By contrast\, when the IB is engaged in strategic interaction with a third party\, the IS may benefit from providing free information. The paper presents a game‑theoretic example illustrating this possibility.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SRC Seminar Series Presents: Pricing Job Amenities: A Practitioner's Manual
DESCRIPTION:https://umich.zoom.us/s/96736010964\nMeeting ID: 967 3601 0964\nPasscode: 685364\n\nAbstract: This paper presents a simple estimator for pricing job amenities in the presence of unobserved worker ability. First described in Bell (2020) and Bell et al. (2024)\, the approach treats ability as a structured residual that jointly shapes access to both pay and non-pay job attributes. Job choice is assumed to be governed by a single vertical job-quality index\, and\, conditional on this index\, an observed proxy for worker ability serves as an “anti-instrument” for recovering amenity prices. Identification hinges on a conditional independence assumption: if pay\, amenities\, and true ability were observed\, the anti-instrument would be redundant. I demonstrate that this approach generates amenity price estimates in line with experimental evidence from Mas and Pallais (2017)\, illustrating how observational data can replicate gold-standard experimental insights when first-order differences in workers’ offer sets are allowed to translate into better jobs not only in terms of pay\, but also along non-pay dimensions. The talk will also discuss how these ideas shed new light on patterns observed in major survey datasets\, including how the PSID can be used to study the role of job choice primitives in intergenerational economic mobility.\n\nBio: Alex Bell is an Assistant Professor in the Economics Department at Georgia State University’s Andrew Young School of Policy Studies. His research\, grounded in labor economics\, focuses on inequality and innovation\, with methodological contributions to the study of compensating differentials. His work has appeared in leading economics journals\, including the American Economic Review and the Quarterly Journal of Economics\, and he received his PhD in Economics from Harvard University.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Can ‘Slavic’ Speak for Minorities? — Who Gets to Belong in Eastern Europe? - Talk 6
DESCRIPTION:A small number of East European manuscripts of magic and practical kabbalah enumerate recipes directed at disabling a specific function of Lilith focused on replacing or substituting a healthy human child with a disformed\, physically\, or mentally disabled demonic one. Designated by the Yiddish term\, banem ביינעם (to take\, replace\, or substitute)\, which appears in these manuscripts with an abundance of variant spellings\, expose the influence of local dialects and diverse linguistic usage. As several recipes attest\, the switching could occur either in utero or within a few weeks after birth. The wealth of magical formulas\, designed to chain Lilith’s power to carry out child substitution or replacement\, reflect pervasive anxieties among Jews concerning the mental and physical health of newborns. Dread and fear were powerful emotional triggers in the mythical presentation of Lilith’s child stealing activities prompting individuals and members of the Jewish community to seek effective cures from Jewish miracle healers\, designated as Ba’alei Shem or Masters of the Name. My talk will trace six types of curative options against child switching: nature-based formulas\; the use of Hebrew divine and angelic names\, amplified by the ten sefirot\; historiolae\; diagrammatic-visual amulets\; illocutionary speech acts\; and combined formulas to highlight that concerns about children’s wellbeing comprised a shared cultural-religious space between Jews and their Slavic neighbors and occupied a place of vital importance for the care and wellbeing of Jewish family and communal life.\n\nThis is a hybrid event.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The impact of TV's rollout on baseball in the US and soccer in England
DESCRIPTION:After WW2 the dominant professional sports in the US (baseball) and England (soccer) faced a common shock - the rapid penetration of TV ownership. Both experienced significant declines in attendance and profitability.  By 1960\, approximately 300 minor league baseball teams (75%) had folded and the residual teams came under the control of the 16 major league clubs. In England\, however\, none of the 92 professional clubs folded despite facing comparable economic pressures. These differences are attributed to institutional structures - notably the integrated governance of soccer\, compared to the fragmentation of baseball\, and the promotion and relegation system of soccer. The latter offered a mechanism for clubs to control costs and the possibility of a better future.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Highest resolution imaging of the dust destruction rim of planet-forming disks using the CHARA Array
DESCRIPTION:Star and planet formation processes are among the least understood problems in astrophysics\, generating numerous theories and questions over the decades. At this moment\, there is no one comprehensive\, predictive theory that can quantitatively explain how planetary systems form and eventually bring on life. Nevertheless\, observational techniques are continually improving and progressing our understanding\, providing new answers and questions about this elusive process. In particular\, observations of young stars with dusty circumstellar disks hold key information that can help us answer questions about the formation of stellar systems\, both similar to and different from our own. These disks are the birthplace of planets\; they set the initial conditions for planet formation and host different physical processes across a large spatial range that change the morphology and composition of the disks as they evolve. The inner <1 astronomical unit (AU) regions are especially intriguing and will be the focus of this thesis. This is where star/disk interactions occur\, including regulating the accretion of material onto the star\, defining the dust sublimation front\, hosting jets and winds that eject material outward\, and placing limits on giant planet migration. The challenge to directly study these regions lies in the sub-milliarcsecond resolution required to resolve such small scales\, which is unattainable by the world's largest singular optical telescopes or even the sub-millimeter interferometer ALMA. With the advent of long baseline optical interferometry\, we finally have the resolving power required to probe the disks at the innermost regions. In this thesis\, I use the world's largest optical interferometer\, the CHARA Array\, to study the inner regions of young stars on the more massive end\, Herbig Ae/Be stars\, as well as the lower mass T Tauri stars.\n\n\nI present new images and models of Herbig Be stars and characterize the disks of T Tauri stars in H- and K-bands. I present the first images of two Herbig Be stars\, V1295 Aql and MWC340. With observations using the upgraded MIRC-X instrument at the CHARA Array\, and semi-simultaneous data from VLTI's H-band combiner PIONIER\, I find a face-on disk around V1295 Aql showing asymmetries\, mysterious inner emission\, and first-ever imaged evidence of temporal variation at the inner rim. Imaging MWC340 led to an exciting discovery\, unexpectedly revealing two disks instead of one.  I use H- and K-band observations taken over 5 years at the CHARA array to resolve the binary systems\, place constraints on the orbital parameters\, and derive new stellar parameters for each central star. Furthermore\, I explore the lower mass regime of young stars with a multi-wavelength survey of T Tauri stars at the highest resolution. I led a 4-year observing campaign at the CHARA Array with the newly-commissioned K-band instrument MYSTIC\, which was specifically designed to image the redder\, fainter stars. I present the initial results of a sample of the survey using geometric models to characterize their sizes and geometry. I consistently find the disk sizes to be larger in the K-band versus the H-band\, meaning that the dusty disk gets more resolved at longer wavelengths. I discuss any interesting findings for individual objects and comment on results from previous studies when applicable.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Capturing the Sequence of Events During the Catalytic Reaction using XFELs
DESCRIPTION:The water oxidation reaction in the Photosystem II (PS II) enzyme produces molecular oxygen\, which sustains life on Earth\, and releases four electrons and protons that are used downstream in other photosynthetic processes for generating ATP. Thus\, understanding how this reaction is catalyzed will help in development of energy conversion technologies. The catalytic center is a Manganese complex (Mn4CaO5) which gets oxidized progressively upon absorption of light before releasing the stored energy and oxidizing water. Structural studies of PS II have been limited at traditional synchrotron sources due to radiation damage of this complex. The emergence of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFEL) with intense femtosecond X-ray pulses have opened opportunities to collect structural data on PS II under physiological temperature. The time-resolved electron density changes at the Manganese complex reveal notable structural changes\, including the insertion of a new water OX\, which disappears upon completion of the reaction [1-3]. We are also able to follow the structural dynamics of the protein coordinating with the complex\, revealing well- orchestrated conformational changes in response to electronic changes at the Manganese cluster. The method described here can be applicable to other (metallo)enzymes by initiating reaction with different reaction-triggering methods.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Colloquium: Homological stability of moduli spaces
DESCRIPTION:Homological stability has emerged over the past decades as an organizing principle in topology and beyond. Broadly speaking\, many sequences of moduli spaces exhibit the striking phenomenon that their homology stabilizes as the underlying complexity grows. One of the most remarkable achievements of this paradigm is the proof of the Mumford conjecture by Madsen and Weiss\, which identifies the stable rational cohomology of the moduli space of algebraic curves. This resolves a question of central importance in algebraic geometry and geometric group theory\; all existing proofs use significant amounts of homotopy theory. In this lecture I will survey some ideas behind homological stability and the ubiquity of stability phenomena\, and discuss consequences and applications\, particularly in algebraic geometry and number theory.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | The Efficacy of Using Singing as a Learning Tool in Foreign Language Acquisition
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/G2NdP\n\nThis lecture builds on Park's Fulbright U.S. Scholar project (2024–2025\, Freie Universität Berlin\, Germany)\, which investigates the role of singing as a pedagogical tool in foreign language acquisition. The project demonstrates how combining Korean lyric songs (가곡) with culturally significant works such as Arirang and popular songs from the 1970s\, valued for their simple yet artistic character\, creates powerful opportunities for both language learning and cultural engagement.\n\n   Singing activates multiple cognitive processes—memory\, auditory discrimination\, and articulatory precision—that support vocabulary retention\, pronunciation\, and prosodic fluency. Through guided sing-along activities\, participants will experience firsthand how these repertoires enable learners\, particularly non-Korean speakers\, to internalize language patterns in a memorable and embodied way.\n\n   Beyond linguistic development\, the juxtaposition of lyric\, folk\, and popular song traditions illuminates Korea’s diverse musical and cultural landscape. This interdisciplinary approach—linking vocal pedagogy\, musicology\, and linguistics—underscores the efficacy of song as both a dynamic tool for foreign language acquisition and a meaningful pathway to intercultural understanding.\n   \nA native of Korea\, soprano Moon-Sook Park has built an international career with performances throughout Europe\, Asia\, and the United States. Her U.S. debut recital at Carnegie Hall in 2001 marked a defining moment in her artistic life and established the United States as her second home. Her repertoire bridges German *Liederkunst*\, Korean lyric art song\, and diverse traditions of international art song literature\, alongside chamber and contemporary experimental works. In addition to her concert career\, she has performed leading operatic roles including Pamina in *The Magic Flute*\, Susanna in *Le nozze di Figaro*\, Liù in *Turandot*\, and Gilda in *Rigoletto*. During her years in Germany\, she was honored with the K.A.A.D. Award and the prestigious Bayreuth Wagner Stipend Award\, recognizing her as a distinguished rising scholar-artist.\n\nAfter earning her Bachelor of Music degree from Seoul National University\, she continued her studies in Europe\, completing graduate diplomas at the conservatories of Freiburg\, Stuttgart\, and Saarland in Germany. She later devoted more than a decade in Italy to the study of bel canto\, immersing herself deeply in its vocal tradition and expressive artistry\, and received a diploma from the Accademia di Canto F. Cavalli in Milan. She subsequently earned the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Voice Performance and Vocal Pedagogy from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music\, integrating European vocal heritage with American pedagogical scholarship.\n\nAs an honored Fulbright U.S. Scholar (2024–2025) at Freie Universität Berlin\, Dr. Park’s work bridges artistic performance and interdisciplinary research\, exploring the role of singing in language acquisition and cultural exchange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Lecture. Oh the Places they will Go: Qatari High School Students and their College Choices
DESCRIPTION:Qatari high school students have many choices and freedom when it comes to deciding on where to pursue their undergraduate degrees. Using the push-pull framework\, this research presentation explores why Qatari high school students choose to study abroad rather than pursue their post-secondary education in Qatar\, and what push-pull factors influence their decision to study abroad or locally. The research will also look at students' parents to see where they would like their child to apply for a comparison. The research questions are: What factors are associated with Qatari high school students’ decision to apply to college/university abroad or locally? What factors are associated with Qatari parents in helping their child’s decision to apply to college/university abroad or locally? This presentation will be a sneak peek at Mohammad's dissertation.\n   \n   Mohammad Al-Ansari (he/him) is a fifth-year doctoral candidate in the Higher Education and Student Affairs program at the University of Iowa. He is also a Senior Research Assistant at Qatar University's Social & Economic Survey Research Institute. His research interests include the purpose of higher education\, students' aspirations and motivations for pursuing a college degree\, and the development of education policy in Qatar.\n\nRegister at https://myumi.ch/Nrg5Q\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:How Ford Transformed Religion in America
DESCRIPTION:What does a motor company and its founder have to do with religion in America? A lot\, it turns out. Henry Ford did not just mass produce cars. As a member of the Episcopal Church\, reader of New Thought texts\, believer in the “gospel of reincarnation\,” mass marketer of antisemitic material\, and employer who institutionalized a social gospel\, Henry Ford’s contributions to American models of business were informed by and produced for an America he understood to be broadly Christian. Though Ford’s efforts at the head of the Ford Motor Company have commonly been understood as secular\, the Motor King was explicit that his work in engineering and auto production was prophetic and meant to remake the world. This talk offers a religious history of Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company\, repositioning them within critical studies of religion and examining how Ford transformed American religion in the twentieth century.

She teaches courses and researches at the intersections of religion\, capitalism\, and popular culture. Dr. Curts studied economics and marketing as an undergraduate before earning M.A. and M.Phil. degrees in Religious Studies at New York University and Yale University. She completed her Ph.D. in American Religious History at Yale in 2016.\n\nHer recent publications have considered religious assemblage at world’s fairs\; and the relational worlds of secular icons as produced in composite photography and devotional performance. She is currently working on her first book – a religious history of Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company – tentatively titled “Fording Religion in the Automobile Age.” This book project contributes to and reflects broader interests in genealogical relations of religion and the technologies\, chronologies\, aesthetics\, economies\, and entertainments that are otherwise assumed to be secular.\n\nIn addition to the book project\, Dr. Curts’ ongoing research centers on theories of religion\, history\, modernity\, and sociality as formed through silver mining operations in the Gilded Age\, scrapbooks and vernacular collecting practices\, Hollywood filmmaking\, Cold War operatics\, cigarette advertisements\, contemporary art mash-ups\, mobile technology platforms\, and corporate-sponsored reading clubs.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Analysis Seminar: Solitary Waves in Water Wave Equations
DESCRIPTION:Solitary water waves are traveling waves that are localized in space and maintain their shape as they propagate. They are among the most fundamental structures in fluid mechanics and have inspired a large body of work ranging from formal asymptotics to rigorous analysis. In this talk\, I will discuss several methods for constructing solitary water waves. I will then sketch a recent work in which we constructed solitary-wave solutions to the two-dimensional finite-depth water-wave equations with capillarity and constant vorticity. Part of this talk is based in part on joint work with Ting-Yang Hsiao\, Giang To\, and Ye Zhang.

DESCRIPTION:In an age of deep division and growing global challenges\, education has a vital role to play in cultivating peace.\n\nBarger Leadership Institute is committed to nurturing leaders who will promote peace\, compassion\, dignity\, and well-being in their communities. In that spirit\, we are organizing a two-day event to raise awareness for commitment to peace in higher education.

On March 25\, we are hosting a multidisciplinary symposium\, \"Lessons from Hiroshima: Cultivating Mindful Peace Leadership.\"\n\nFREE FILM SCREENING\nThe Vow From Hiroshima is an intimate portrait of Setsuko Thurlow\, a passionate survivor of the 1945 atomic bomb in Hiroshima.

The experience shaping her life forever\, she kept a pledge to her friends - that no one should ever again experience the same horrible fate. Her moving story is told through the lens of her friendship with second-generation survivor Mitchie Takeuchi\, through her decades of activism\, to the current moment\, achieving her dream of a Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty.\n\nSpecial thanks to our film sponsors\,\n- The Nam Center for Korean Studies\n- Michigan Community Scholars Program\n- Center for Japanese Studies\n- UMMA\n- Center for Global and Intercultural Study\n- Organizational Studies\n- Psychology Department

SUMMARY:Performance:Joe Pernice
DESCRIPTION:“a workhorse of a songwriter who delivers hard truths with the softest of whispers” –NPR\n\nJoe Pernice is a songwriter celebrated for his rare ability to pair luminous melodies with quietly devastating emotional depth. Over the course of a career spanning more than three decades\, Pernice has built a body of work that is literate\, melodic\, and enduring—music that reveals new layers with each listen.\n\nFirst gaining attention in the early 1990s with alt-country band Scud Mountain Boys\, Pernice later founded the Pernice Brothers\, a project that would firmly establish his reputation as one of the most refined songwriters of his generation. From the initial Overcome by Happiness and across numerous albums\, his songs have been marked by elegant arrangements\, strong pop instincts\, and lyrics that balance wit\, melancholy\, and narrative precision. Drawing from folk\, power pop\, and chamber pop traditions\, Pernice’s music feels both timeless and unmistakably personal. His collaborations with a range of musicians include Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub)\, Joshua Karp\, Neko Case\, Aimee Mann\, and the iconic Jimmy Webb.\n\nCritics have consistently praised his work for its craftsmanship and emotional intelligence. Major publications including Rolling Stone\, Pitchfork\, Magnet\, The Guardian\, and Mojo have highlighted his gift for melody and his ability to cloak dark\, complex themes in deceptively beautiful songs.\nBeyond music\, Joe has written one of the first books in the original 33 1/3 book series. His novella explores the Smiths’ Meat is Murder and Catholic high school life in Boston in 1985. Joe’s novel\, It Feels So Good When I Stop\, is a dark\, irreverent story of a young man trying to sort through love\, life and commitment.\n\nWith his latest album\, Sunny\, I Was Wrong\, Joe continues his signature style of rich storytelling melded with inspired arrangements\, each song a world unto its own.

SUMMARY:Performance:BLKBOK
DESCRIPTION:Piano star x culture creator\n\nBorn and raised in Detroit’s inner city\, BLKBOK (born Charles Wilson III) grew up in a music-filled home and was an acclaimed piano prodigy by age eight\, winning statewide accolades and college-level competitions. While many of his peers pursued hip-hop\, Charles chose the name BLKBOK\, a nod to one of the greatest pianists and composers of all time and a reflection of his journey from pop and hip-hop culture to his critically acclaimed neo-classical debut album Black Book and subsequent mixtape projects and collaborations. \n\nBLKBOK’s live\, high-energy performances are culturally reflective\, delivering a piano-based experience unlike any other. His vision is to illuminate awareness\, encouraging dialogue and counterpoint in how we perceive ourselves and the world we share.\n \nHis debut album Black Book served as a cornerstone of the inaugural Juneteenth Foundation Freedom Concert and was later re-released as a DLUX Edition featuring “Forgotten Girls” and “Kendrick + Karine.” His mixtape CVRART and collaborative project \"Angels Watching Over Me\" with world-renowned tenor Lawrence Brownlee further showcase his innovative voice. His original composition “Stars (Ad Astra)” became the first-ever piano duet performed from space in 2022.\n \nClosing out 2025\, BLKBOK released Urban Etudes: Vol. 1\, a collaborative EP with Beats by JT that blends classical form with rhythm in a powerful sonic dialogue. He carried that creative momentum into January 2026 with Peaceful Piano: The Self-Love Mixtape\, an intimate and reflective project centered on breath\, space\, and emotional clarity\, a calm exploration of self-love as both foundation and beginning. \n\nBuilding on this evolution\, The New Classical Tour debuted in New York City\, Natick\, and Toledo\, with additional dates to be announced. He is currently composing a new Concerto set for premiere this summer.\n \nMore than an artist\, BLKBOK is a movement - breaking barriers and inspiring change through sound.

SUMMARY:Performance:Les Greene & The Swayzees
DESCRIPTION:Les Greene has energy\, enthusiasm\, and dance moves somewhere between James Brown and Elvis. He was — and remains — a tornado of energy onstage\, both vocally and physically. –Miami New Times\n\nLes Greene\, the voice of Little Richard in the recent “Elvis” movie and Grammy nominated soundtrack\, with his band The Swayzees vibrantly bring you a powerful force of roots rock n soul. With a high energy twist on the genre all while staying true to its sound this is the unique yet recognizable spin that music needs right now and hasn’t seen in some time. \n\nHailing from the vibrant musical landscape of Baltimore\, Les Greene was destined for a life steeped in rhythm and melody. From a young age\, he was drawn to the soulful sounds that permeated the streets of his hometown – the smooth jazz\, the funky grooves\, the raw emotion of blues. Greene immersed himself in the rich musical heritage of his city\, honing his craft and developing his own unique voice as a musician.\n\nAt the core of Greene's music lies a deep reverence for the traditions of soul\, but he's never been one to simply replicate the sounds of the past. Instead\, he infuses his music with a modern sensibility\, blending elements of R&B\, funk\, and jazz to create a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. His songs are a testament to the enduring power of soul music – a celebration of love\, loss\, and the human experience.\n\nBeyond his talent as a solo artist\, Greene is also known for his dynamic live performances. Whether he's commanding the stage with his soulful voice and blistering guitar solos or leading a tight-knit band through a funky groove\, Greene is a consummate entertainer\, capable of captivating audiences with his boundless energy and magnetic stage presence. His live shows are a testament to the transformative power of music – a shared experience that brings people together and leaves them uplifted and inspired.\n\nIn a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain\, Greene's music serves as a beacon of hope and healing. It's a reminder of the power of art to transcend boundaries and connect us to something greater than ourselves. With his soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics\, Les Greene continues to touch the lives of listeners around the world\, spreading joy and inspiration wherever his music is heard. As long as there are hearts to be moved and stories to be told\, the soulful journey of Les Greene will surely continue to resonate for years to come.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kaki King
DESCRIPTION:A landscape of sound that pulls at the heart and invites you in.\n\nDubbed by Rolling Stone as \"a genre unto herself\,\" Brooklyn\, NY-based Kaki King has proven to be just that.  Her career has taken her all over the world\, sharing stages with Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters\, contributing music to award-winning films (Sean Penn's Into The Wild)\, and performing at the London Jazz Festival and the Paris Les Femmes s'en Melent.  \n\nHer explorations into the guitar and multimedia have led to the creation of groundbreaking work such as The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body\, Modern Yesterdays\, and a new multi-media musical production for children called BUGS. Kaki continues to create\, perform\, and lend her musical voice to the forefront of contemporary music\, as shown on her 2025 EP\, Tutto Passa\, and recent album\, SEI\, the soundtrack to a unique performance piece where guitarists become dancers\, coordinating their whole bodies to perform the rigors of both choreography and composition.  \n\nEndorsed by Ovation Guitars\, Kaki released the EP Stop Sometime last August and remains a force on the music scene\, touring Italy and Germany in the fall and performing both solo and BUGS shows throughout parts of the United States into 2026\, while also and scheduling yet another EP for release on February 13.

SUMMARY:Performance:Raynes
DESCRIPTION:Sophisticated\, irresistibly catchy folk-pop\n\nBritish-American trio Raynes formed when Mat Charley and Joe Berger\, both born and raised in North Dakota\, came across a video of UK native Mark Race on Instagram and fell in love—first with his face\, then with his voice. After a few messages and phone calls\, Mark was on a plane to the US to start a band (a few months later\, he had the flight number tattooed on his arm).\n\nSince then\, Raynes has signed with Sony Music Publishing and released six singles and four EPs\, drawing hundreds of thousands of monthly listeners and tens of millions of streams and earning press in Billboard and People. They’ve performed at BottleRock Festival and in clubs\, concert halls\, and amphitheaters across the US and the UK\, developing a reputation as a high-energy live act.\n\nIn 2025\, Raynes’ rendition of “I Want You to Want Me” was featured in an episode of Love Is Blind on Netflix.\n\nKnown for their intricate vocal harmonies and unique instrumentation as well as their poetic lyrics\, Raynes has yet to come up with a good answer as to what genre their music falls under. With all three members coming from different musical backgrounds\, the boys combine their diverse influences to form a group that draws inspiration from around the globe\, incorporating elements of folk\, rock\, and chamber pop with Celtic and world music to create a wholly original—and difficult to categorize—sound.

Cowan calls Bulla “one of the most beautiful gifts” of his long musical life\, while Bulla\, inspired by Cowan since his youth\, considers sharing the stage a “dream come true” and a source of “immense gratitude and honor.” Together\, they deliver music rooted in gratitude\, joy\, and deep mutual respect. This evening they perform as a trio with Sam Leslie.
