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.

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: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:Exhibition:What We Tend: The 2026 MFA Graduate Thesis Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nWhat We Tend: The 2026 MFA Thesis Exhibition is on view at the Stamps Gallery from March 20 — April 11\, 2026. The exhibition presents seven artists whose practices unfold through care—care for land\, for bodies\, for memory\, and for one another. Working across ritual\, non-linear time\, and intersectional inquiries into labor and domestic life\, these artists treat familial\, site-specific\, and sociopolitical histories as living structures rather than sealed archives. What We Tend features the work of MFA students River Forest Berry\, Michelle Cieloszczyk\, Zoë Dong\, Fiona Hoffer\, Michael ​“Modius Modi” King Jr.\, Michaela Nichelle\, and Sujay Saple.\n\nJoin us to celebrate the work of MFA graduate students at the Opening Reception on March 20 from 6 — 8 p.m. Refreshments will be served and artists will be present.\n\nPlease note: \n\nThroughout the exhibition\, visitors are encouraged to bring clean and empty aluminum cans to participate in Michaela Nichelle’s installation. \nThe exhibition will be closed to the public on Friday\, April 10.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“Apitecture”: On Bees and Built Forms in the Lands of Islam
DESCRIPTION:Bees are considered the chief architects of the natural world. In premodern Islamic lands\, writers such as al-Maqrizi (d. 1442CE) penned entire treatises dedicated to these minuscule winged insects\, praising an ingenuity that “even the most astute engineer who uses a compass and a ruler would be proved incapable of replicating.” While bees construct honeycombs of perfect hexagons\, humans\, too\, engage in the practice“apitecture”: that is\, creating built forms to home and protect bee colonies. Some are small and appended to homes\; others mounted on cliffs and trees\; and still others are monumental abodes that could house twenty million of these social animals. Such is the case for the apiary of Inzerki\, located in the Souss Valley in southwestern Morocco. Built in the sixteenth century and overseen by a collective of Amazigh (Berber) tribes\, it functioned as a premodern “factory” for the large-scale production of wax and honey—the latter a prized sweetener and preserver bearing curative properties\, and the former a material in high demand by and thus exported to Europe. Along with related bee texts and other apiaries\, this talk presents the Inzerki beehive in order to explore the interface between wilderness and domesticity\, animal and human architecture\, biomimesis\, and faunal industrialism. Above all\, it focuses on Islamic “beekeeping\,” the expression “keeping” used to identify various types of cooperative homing practices and forms. \n\nLunch will be available before the lecture begins.\n\nProfessor Christiane Gruber is Mehmet Ağa-Oğlu Collegiate Professor of Islamic Art History at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Her scholarly work explores medieval to contemporary Islamic art. Among others\, her areas of expertise include Islamic book arts\, paintings of the Prophet Muhammad\, and Islamic ascension texts and images\, about which she has written three books and edited several volumes of articles. She also pursues research in Islamic book arts\, codicology\, and paleography\, having authored the online catalogue of Islamic calligraphies in the Library of Congress as well as edited the volume of articles entitled The Islamic Manuscript Tradition. Her third field of specialization is modern and contemporary Islamic visual and material culture\, about which she has edited several volumes and written over a dozen articles. Her recent publications include her book The Praiseworthy One: The Prophet Muhammad in Islamic Texts and Images and her edited volume The Image Debate: Figural Representation in Islam and Across the World. Currently\, she is working on eco-Islamic art and architecture as well as the visual culture of the Nation of Islam. \n\nShe has found great joy and purpose in founding and directing Khamseen: Islamic Art History Online since 2020.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. A Global Perspective on Campaigns for Reproductive Rights: Insights from Soviet and Contemporary Russia
DESCRIPTION:The first ever public campaign to defend access to legal abortion in Russia took place in 2011. Notably\, Russian advocates avoided common feminist slogans claiming reproductive “rights” and “choice.” Instead\, they implored the state to “Fight Abortion\, Not Women.” This slogan expressed opposition to the routine use of abortion for fertility control and implicitly demanded state support for contraceptives. In this presentation\, Rivkin-Fish traces the historical conditions that made “Fight Abortion\, Not Women” a salient message for the health professionals who established Russia’s first state and non-governmental organizations for family planning. Their efforts illustrate a broader vision of change at socialism’s end—one aimed not at promoting individual autonomy but at rationalizing and re-enchanting relationships.\n   She will show how\, by promoting this culturally tailored approach to liberal biopolitics\, family planning experts facilitated dramatic transformations in reproductive health services and reproductive practices. Nonetheless\, their programs became targets for nationalists’ ire and demographic anxiety. By tracing the rise and demise of family planning institutions\, Rivkin-Fish’s Unmaking Russia’s Abortion Culture (2024) reveals the centrality of reproductive and demographic politics to Russia’s nationalist and authoritarian turn.\n   \n   Michele Rivkin-Fish is Professor of Anthropology at UNC-Chapel Hill. Her research focuses on reproductive politics and health in Soviet and post-Soviet Russia. She is the author of Women’s Health in Post-Soviet Russia: The Politics of Intervention (2005)\, which won the Basker Prize for Outstanding Research on Gender and Health from the Society of Medical Anthropology\, and the Heldt Prize from the Association for Women in Slavic Studies. Her most recent book\, Unmaking Russia’s Abortion Culture: Family Planning and the Struggle for a Liberal Biopolitics (2024)\, examines professional efforts to replace routine abortion use with contraceptive habits as a lens onto the evolving practices of liberal biopolitics from the late Soviet 1950s to 2016 in Russia.\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:Workshop / Seminar:Dialogue Michigan Community Circles
DESCRIPTION:As we navigate an increasingly complex social and political landscape\, the need for robust democratic engagement has never been more vital. At its core\, democracy thrives not just through the ballot box\, but through our ability to foster discourse\, practice inclusive decision-making\, and build resilient communities.\n\nOn behalf of the Dialogue Michigan planning team\, we invite U-M faculty and staff to join us for our next event\, where we will explore a practical tool for this civic work.\n\nDemocratic engagement requires us to move beyond debate and toward dialogue. Circle processes provide a structured way to do exactly that and to be in community. Rooted in First Nation and Indigenous peacemaking practices\, these processes create an egalitarian space where:\n- Every voice is centered: The use of a talking piece ensures that all participants have the space to be heard without interruption.\n- Power is shared: The circular structure removes traditional hierarchies\, encouraging collective responsibility and transparency.\n- Community is restored: It offers a framework for navigating conflict and making decisions that reflect the needs of the whole\, rather than just the majority.\n\nThis workshop will be interactive\, providing you with the opportunity to experience a circle firsthand and learn how to bring these restorative practices into your work and community spaces.\n\nRegistration required: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/p/track/16802\n\nLEARN MORE ABOUT DIALOGUE MICHIGAN\nhttps://myumi.ch/dialogue

SUMMARY:Presentation:Learning Structured Reward Representations for Reinforcement Learning
DESCRIPTION:Committee Chair: Necmiye Ozay\n\nAbstract: \nLearning from demonstrations is one of the most natural and powerful paradigms for acquiring intelligent behavior. Among its most prominent formulations is inverse reinforcement learning (IRL)\, which has achieved remarkable success in domains such as robotics and autonomous driving. Yet despite this promise\, IRL remains fundamentally challenged by ill-posedness: the same observed behavior can often be explained by many different underlying objectives. If an agent moves from point A to point B\, is it because it is attracted to B\, repelled by A\, or optimizing something more subtle entirely? From behavior alone\, the answer is generally ambiguous.\nThis dissertation addresses several foundational questions at the heart of inverse reinforcement learning. First\, it investigates which environments and dynamics are inherently suitable for learning from demonstrations. Second\, it studies how \"rationality priors\" can be incorporated to regularize the ambiguity of IRL and improve identifiability. Finally\, it develops methods for inferring latent memory structure directly from demonstrations\, enabling classical IRL techniques to extend beyond Markovian assumptions to the richer setting of multi-stage tasks with history-dependent\, non-Markovian rewards.\n\nRobotics Atrium & on Zoom (Passcode: 19982001)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mathematical Biology Seminar: Cyanobacterial Clocks: How do they work\, and what are they good for?
DESCRIPTION:All plants and animals and many unicellular organisms possess circadian clocks--autonomous oscillators with a roughly 24 hour period that allow them to anticipate daily cycles of light and dark.  I will discuss recent progress on understanding one such biological clock\, in the photosynthetic bacterium S. elongatus.  This system has the remarkable feature that the core biochemical oscillator can be reconstituted in vitro with only three purified proteins.  Thus\, unlike almost all other circadian clocks studied to date\, it requires neither transcription nor translation but functions entirely post-translationally.  After reviewing what we know about how the in vitro oscillator functions\, as well as a few outstanding puzzles\, I will turn my attention to the implications of this understanding for clock function in the living cell.  In particular\, I will use biophysical models to address two questions:  How does the clock continue to tick robustly in the noisy cellular environment?  And what selective advantage does the clock provide?  In the former case\, I will argue that the core post-translational oscillator is necessary to make the clock robust to several perturbations present in any growing\, dividing cell\, but that other specific adaptations are also required.  In response to the latter question\, I will present efforts to quantify the clock's contributions to fitness through anticipating diurnal environmental changes and through rejecting environmental noise.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MPSDS / JPSM Seminar Series: From Survey to SurvAI:  The Promises and Precautions of AI for Survey Research
DESCRIPTION:MPSDS / JPSM Seminar Series\nMPSDS M3 Series: Mastery\, Methodology\, Meetups\n\nIn person\, room 1070 Institute for Social Research\, and via Zoom.\nThe Zoom call will be locked 10 minutes after the start of the presentation.\n\nFrom Survey to SurvAI:  The Promises and Precautions of AI for Survey Research\n\nLarge language models (LLMs) are rapidly transforming many professional domains\, including survey research. Eloundou et al. (2024) rank survey research among the most highly exposed occupations to LLM-driven automation\, raising both opportunities and challenges for practitioners. While survey science has a rich tradition of adopting technological tools for tasks like data collection\, analysis\, and instrument design\, the unique affordances and risks associated with LLMs call for a structured examination.\n\nThis paper presents findings from a systematic literature review of empirical and theoretical work at the intersection of LLMs and survey research.  Specifically\, we sought to synthesize examples of how LLMs are being applied across three broad phases of the survey research pipeline including: pre-data collection\, data collection and post-data collection.  Methodologically\, this review identifies uneven distribution of LLM application across the survey pipeline. While pre-data collection stages (e.g.\, item writing\, translation) are well explored\, core practices like live interviewing\, recruitment\, and cross-lingual adaptation remain under-investigated. Additionally\, few studies assess LLMs systematically across multiple populations\, languages\, or survey topics. In this presentation we will highlight not just the breadth of current use cases\, but also the methodological and ethical considerations that must accompany them noting examples that are both promising as well as precautionary.\n\nTrent D. Buskirk\, Ph.D.  has recently joined the new School of Data Science at Old Dominion University.  Prior to this appointment\, Trent was the Novak Family Distinguished Professor of Data Science and outgoing Chair of the Applied Statistics and Operations Research Department at Bowling Green State University.  Dr. Buskirk is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and his research is positioned at the intersection of survey science\, data science\, computational social science\, and human–AI interaction.  His specific research interests include Schema-Driven LLM-Based Inference\, big data quality\, recruitment methods through social media\, the use of big data and machine learning methods for health\, social and survey science design and analysis\, mobile and smartphone survey designs and in methods for calibrating and weighting samples and fairness in AI models and interpretable ML methods.  Trent has also been involved in various professional organizations serving as the President of the Midwest Association for Public Opinion Research in 2016\, the Conference Chair for AAPOR in 2018 and a member of the scientific committee for the BigSurv series of conferences since 2018.  Trent as also served as an Associate Editor (Methods) for the Journal of Survey Statistics and Methodology.    Dr. Buskirk is currently serving on the AAPOR Responsible Integration of AI in Survey Research task force.  When Trent is not geeking out over data science or survey research\, he’s likely out playing a competitive game of Pickleball!

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Counting Defiers: A Design-Based Model of a Randomized Experiment Can Reveal Evidence Beyond the Average Effect (with Neil Christy)
DESCRIPTION:We estimate the numbers of always takers\, compliers\, defiers\, and never takers in the sample of people in an experiment\, rather than a hypothetical population from which it was drawn\, using structure from the randomization design. Our data include only a binary intervention and outcome. We develop a visualization to show that samples with defiers can sometimes generate the data in more ways than samples without defiers\, yielding a higher design-based likelihood. We propose a maximum likelihood decision rule that can harness this evidence\, which is not captured by standard hypothesis tests\, and we provide optimality conditions. We illustrate the output of our decision rule for all possible data in samples of 50 and 200 with half in intervention\, demonstrating a pattern in when the MLE includes defiers despite a positive average effect. We provide insights into effect heterogeneity in two published experiments with interventions that could plausibly backfire for some people despite statistically significant positive average effects on takeup of desirable health behaviors. In both\, our 95% credible sets include the estimated Frechet bounds\, demonstrating that evidence is weak. Yet\, our MLE includes no defiers in one\; in the other\, the MLE includes a count of defiers equal to the estimated upper Frechet bound\, over 18% of the sample. The MLE can support a monotonicity assumption or a specific alternative as a step toward improving the average effect of future interventions by targeting them away from noncompliers. Our dbmle package\, compatible with Python and Stata\, implements our statistics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning seminar in algebraic combinatorics: Weak order and Cambrian Lattices
DESCRIPTION:In this talk we will look at another important example of semi distributive lattices\, the weak order on finite Coxeter groups. In the specific example of the symmetric group\, which can be associated to the type A Dynkin quiver\, we will see how the familiar lattice of torsion classes can be identified with a quotient of the weak order. Building on this example\, we will generalize the quotient construction to finite Coxeter groups via the notion of Cambrian congruences and Cambrian lattices.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Optical Thermodynamics and Lagrange Waveguides
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, there has been a resurgence of interest in multimode structures\, driven primarily by the growing demand for higher information capacities. This renewed focus has sparked a surge of activity in the field of nonlinear multimode optics. The inherent complexity of these systems—where hundreds or even thousands of nonlinearly interacting modes collectively behave as a many-body system—has led to the discovery of novel optical phenomena that would be unattainable in single-mode settings.\n\nIn this talk\, a new thermodynamic framework for describing complex\, highly multimode\, nonlinear optical systems will be presented. It will be shown that mode occupancies in such systems exhibit a universal behavior\, consistently evolving toward maximizing the system’s entropy. This thermodynamic response is universal—it occurs regardless of the specific nonlinearities at play and can be harnessed to either heat or cool an optical system. Special emphasis will be placed on new methodologies for coherent beam combining using principles of optical thermodynamics. \n\nMethodologies for guiding light and charged particles in a novel class of waveguiding structures based on Lagrange points will also be discussed.\n \nBio: Demetri Christodoulides is an Endowed Chair Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Master Class with Noa Kageyama: Shrinking the Gap Between Practice and Performance
DESCRIPTION:Elite athletes and coaches have known for decades that physical preparation alone is not enough to perform optimally under pressure. And increasingly\, musicians too are engaging in mental skills training and ways of practicing and preparing which can lead to more consistent\, inspired\, and engaged performances.\n\nIn this session\, you’ll find out what common practice habit leads to “but it sounded better at home” syndrome (and the more effective alternative)\, discover the two causes of “choking” under pressure (and a simple strategy to prevent this from happening)\, and learn a “backwards” method for structuring your daily practice that leads to more consistent and confident performances.\n\nStudents should bring their instruments in order to apply practices and try out strategies in real time during the session. Any playing will be altogether as a group. No individual or 1:1 playing is required!\n\nFree and open to the public. Presented by the Department of Strings and the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nGUEST ARTIST BIO\n\nPerformance psychologist NOA KAGEYAMA is on the faculty of The Juilliard School and the Cleveland Institute of Music. A conservatory-trained violinist with degrees from Oberlin and Juilliard before completing a Ph.D. in psychology at Indiana University\, Noa specializes in teaching musicians how to utilize sport psychology principles and more consistently perform up to their full abilities under pressure.\n\nHe has conducted workshops for institutions including Curtis\, Eastman\, Peabody\, and the U.S. Armed Forces School of Music\, programs such as the Starling-Delay Symposium and the Perlman Music Program\, and for organizations like the Music Teachers’ National Association\, Performing Arts Medicine Association\, and the Association for Applied Sport Psychology.\n\nNoa's work has appeared in CNN\, NBC News\, The Wall Street Journal\, and other media outlets. He authors *The Bulletproof Musician* blog and podcast\, reaching over 45\,000 subscribers every week.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Math Grad Show and Tell Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: After learning single-variable calculus\, it is common to move straight into learning multivariable calculus\; a standard extension from R to R^n. With some dedication\, one continues on to learn about single-variable complex analysis\, observing that the reasonable transition from R to C often makes analysis much more elegant. But then a natural question arises: Why is it uncommon to study \"multivariable complex analysis\" on C^n?\n\nIn this talk\, which shares its title with a textbook authored by Jiří Lebl\, we will introduce basic results and phenomena in the theory of several complex variables. Emphasizing definitions and examples over technical proofs\, we will explore generalizations of certain theorems from complex analysis\, while highlighting the surprising ways in which our single-variable intuition can fail in higher dimensions. Familiarity (not proficiency) in complex analysis will be helpful\, but certain statements will be reviewed as needed.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Naveed Arif Iqball Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Naveed Arif Iqball Keynote Lecture highlights the work of individuals advancing understanding and improving college student mental health. The lecture is held annually at the Mental Health on College Campuses conference. This year\, we are honored to host Jennifer Wallace\, founder of The Mattering Institute and co-founder of The Mattering Movement\, for her presentation titled \"The Mattering Campus: Building an Ecosystem Where Everyone Feels Valued.\" The Mattering Campus is built on a simple idea: students thrive when they feel they matter. Despite being more connected than ever\, many students feel lonely\, anxious\, and disengaged. Seen through a mattering lens\, these aren’t separate crises but signs of the same problem: namely\, that students don’t feel seen\, needed\, or significant. This talk explores how campuses can intentionally rebuild mattering at every stage of the student journey—from orientation to graduation. This event is free and open to the public. No registration is required to attend. CE credit available for social workers!\n\nThe support for this lecture is provided by the Naveed Arif Iqball Mental Health Advocacy Endowment Fund\, established by Arif Iqball of Kyoto\, Japan\, in memory of his son\, Naveed\, who sadly lost his battle with depression in 2019. He believed stigma prevented his son from seeking treatment or sharing his struggles with his family and friends. Through this lecture\, Mr. Iqball aims to raise awareness of student mental health and reduce stigma across our communities.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Profinite Rigidity and Hyperbolic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:To what extent is a finitely presented group determined by its finite quotients? This question leads naturally to the profinite completion\, which encodes all finite quotients of a group in a single algebraic object. In this talk\, we will discuss work by Bridson\, McReynolds\, Reid\, and Spitler who construct new examples of groups that are profinitely rigid\, meaning they are uniquely determined by their profinite completion\, via examples from hyperbolic geometry and low-dimensional topology. Their approach uses techniques involving representation rigidity\, linking the finite quotients of a group to arithmetic invariants of lattices in PSL(2\,C). If time permits\, we will discuss more recent developments in this area pertaining to Dehn fillings of knots.

DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, several problems in arithmetic statistics that seem completely intractable over number fields\, have been resolved in the case of function fields by geometric methods\; more specifically\, by casting the problem in terms of the homology of a suitable moduli space of algebraic curves\, and understanding the homology asymptotically. Perhaps the most notable is the work of Ellenberg-Venkatesh-Westerland and Landesman-Levy on Cohen-Lenstra heuristics. \n\nI will talk about joint work with Bergström-Diaconu-Westerland and Miller-Patzt-Randal-Williams\, where this paradigm is applied to another problem in analytic number theory. There is a \"recipe\" due to Conrey-Farmer-Keating-Rubinstein-Snaith (CFKRS) which allows for precise predictions for the asymptotics of moments of many different families of L-functions. We consider the family of all L-functions attached to hyperelliptic curves over some fixed finite field\, in which case we are able to prove the CFKRS predictions for all moments\, for all sufficiently large (but fixed) q.\nWe do this by studying the homology of the moduli space of hyperelliptic curves\, with symplectic coefficients: we compute the stable homology groups\, together with their structure as Galois representations\, and prove a novel homological stability theorem in this setting. The proofs use homotopical ideas developed in connection with the Mumford conjecture\, Borel's work on stable real cohomology of arithmetic groups\, logarithmic algebraic geometry\, and cellular E_k-algebras.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Biological Anthropology Colloquium | “Should We Stay or Should We Go? Bonobo Navigation and Foraging Behavior in a Virtual Rainforest”
DESCRIPTION:“Addressing questions about primate cognition and behavior between both field and lab\, the use of virtual reality creates simulated scenarios synthesizing aspects of ecological conditions under controlled laboratory settings. I will present a spatial cognitive-foraging study\, a ‘Virtual Rainforest’\, inspired by primate fieldwork to test hypotheses in the lab that would be difficult to assess under field conditions. I will also briefly present the framework for a second virtual reality study on wild great ape gestures similarly inspired by primate fieldwork. \n\nIn the Virtual Rainforest study\, we asked\, how do captive apes’ exploration in complex environments and spatial memory compare with wild apes’ dynamic challenges (competitors\, seasonality\, and food availability) when navigating between multiple foraging sites? And\, what effect does the captive environment have on the development of spatial cognitive abilities? We investigated by using simulations of captive bonobos’ real-world habitats. Assessing navigation in a virtual “rainforest” presents a unique opportunity to examine ape cognitive abilities in exploration of novel complex environments\, attention to landmarks\, and capacity to generate and encode novel routes. In our study\, captive bonobos explored a virtual rainforest comprised of three regions: dense\, moderate dense\, and savannah-like area. Virtual fruits (mango\, cherry\, grape) were located region-specific\, and each were associated with specific auditory cues\, bird calls. The food rewards matched the selected virtual fruits. Moving prey (e.g.\, red river hogs) shifted between regions creating complexity and a dynamic habitat. The bonobos were presented with three 12-minute trials/day\, each trial mirroring daybreak to sundown. Individualized start locations began where each bonobo’s trial previously ended. The bonobos were highly attentive during virtual exploration and traveled to localized areas of preferred over non-preferred foods suggesting goal-oriented navigation in this virtual mini-world. Additionally\, within trials\, bonobos were observed to turn towards items previously seen but not presently visible\, demonstrating object permanence of visual+directional memory within a virtual space. We compare our results with wild chimpanzee goal-directed navigation to foraging sites. \n\nAs a model for what is possible\, I will briefly present a framework for a future study using bonobo avatars to demonstrate wild ape gestures to captive apes to determine their responsiveness. In summary\, I will highlight the novel use of virtual reality to assess and compare cognition across ecologies\, species and populations\, and between individuals with different experiential and developmental trajectories.”\n\nDr. Francine Dolins\, Associate Professor of Comparative Psychology\, University of Michigan-Dearborn\, has a PhD in Cognitive Psychology and Behavioral Primatology from the University of Stirling (Scotland) and a BSc.\, Honors in Biology (Behavioral Ecology\, Evolutionary Theory & Animal Cognition) from the University of Sussex (England). Francine’s research focuses on primate cognition\, behavior\, and cognitive-ecological modeling in the field and laboratory. Her research concentrates on questions regarding spatial cognition\, navigation\, and foraging behavior in the context of group decision-making\, self-recognition\, social information transfer\, and group behavior. She uses virtual reality to compare nonhuman and human primate spatial and social cognition and applies technology to enhance the welfare and environmental enrichment of captive nonhuman primates. Francine has received multiple research grants from the National Institutes on Aging\, Templeton World Charity Foundation\, Ford Motor Company\, and the Southwest Primate National Research Center. She is lead editor on three volumes published by Cambridge University Press: Attitudes to Animals\; Spatial Cognition - Spatial Perception\; and Spatial Analysis in Field Primatology: Applying GIS at Varying Scales\, as well as a guest editor on several special issues in the American Journal of Primatology\, Frontiers\, and Animal Biology. Francine teaches in the Psychology and Biopsychology programs\, the Masters’ Program in Human Centered Design Studies\, and is a Co-Director of the Psychology Honors Program. She is actively involved on the University of Michigan Senate and Senate committees on research\, ethics\, and university governance. Co-creating The Ako Project\, she worked in collaboration with Dr. Alison Jolly to further conservation education in Madagascar and the United States. She is an active member of the American Society of Primatology and the International Primatological Society’s Conservation committees. She established the non profit organization\, Palm-to-Palm\, to reduce the use of palm oil in the Global North to protect tropical rainforests and nonhuman primate and human communities in the Global South.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gomberg Lecture with Connie Lu \"Synergizing p- and d-Block Elements for Catalysis\"
DESCRIPTION:Many challenging chemical reactions require precious metal catalysts to proceed. Our research group develops main-group metalloligands (Groups 13 and 14) as an electronic lever for tuning a reactive transition metal active site via a direct metal–metal interaction. This approach has allowed for the development and optimization of highly efficient transition metal-main group bifunctional catalysts in various catalytic applications. The bimetallic catalysts display remarkably enhanced activity compared to the analogous single metal centers. In this talk\, I will detail the roles of the main group support in substrate binding\, activation of strong bonds (C−F and C−H)\, and catalysis.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mean–Variance Portfolio Selection by Continuous-Time Reinforcement Learning: Algorithms\, Regret Analysis\, and Empirical Study
DESCRIPTION:We study continuous-time mean–variance portfolio selection in markets where stock prices are diffusion processes driven by observable factors that are also diffusion processes\, yet the coefficients of these processes are unknown. Based on the recently developed reinforcement learning (RL) theory for diffusion processes\, we present a general data-driven RL algorithm that learns the pre-committed investment strategy directly without attempting to learn or estimate the market coefficients. For multi-stock Black–Scholes markets without factors\, we further devise a baseline algorithm and prove its performance guarantee by deriving a sublinear regret bound in terms of the Sharpe ratio. We then carry out an extensive empirical study implementing this algorithm to compare its performance and trading outcomes\, evaluated under a host of common metrics\, with a large number of widely employed portfolio allocation strategies on S&P 500 constituents. The results demonstrate that the proposed continuous-time RL strategy is consistently among the best\, especially in a volatile bear market\, and decisively outperforms the model-based continuous-time counterparts by significant margins. Joint work with Yilie Huang and Yanwei Jia.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Capturing Prestige: Human Trafficking in Japan's Maritime Borderlands\, c. 1350-1600
DESCRIPTION:This presentation traces the evolution of human trafficking networks among so-called Japanese pirates (Kn. Waegu\, Ch. Wokou) from the island of Tsushima located in the maritime borderlands between Japan\, Korea\, and China. It excavates the foundations of the East Asian dimensions of the early modern global circulation of enslaved peoples and shows how medieval Japanese transformations in commercialization\, local lordship\, and the integration of the archipelago into domestic and East Asian shipping circuits all depended on flows of captives. The lords of Tsushima\, the Sō family\, integrated slavery into the administrative machinery of their territorial domain and incentivized military service with awards tied to trafficking. For retainers\, local elites\, and commoner mariners\, such sanctioned trafficking became a source of prestige and family legacies. Incentivized by the promise of tax exemptions and other awards from the Sō\, their piratical enterprises raided Korean and Chinese coasts\, engaged in military campaigns in Kyushu\, and resocialized captives into slaves by modifying regional ascriptive ethnic and status categories. Patronage by the Sō connected Tsushima slavers to the apex of Japan’s warrior hierarchy\, the Ashikaga shogunate. This history invites reconsideration of trafficking in medieval Japan as a low-status\, opportunistic\, and declining trade.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mean Field Control and Applications in Modern Machine Learning
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will introduce mean field control and discuss its applications in modern machine learning. I will first describe how numerical algorithms for mean field control can be developed by combining propagation of chaos with machine learning techniques\, together with theoretical guarantees for these methods. I will then present two complementary applications. The first is computational\, concerning the use of mean field control in generative AI. The second is theoretical\, concerning a mathematical framework for understanding implicit regularization in the training of overparameterized neural networks.\nThis talk is based on the joint works with Beatrice Acciaio\, Jakob Heiss\, Jin Ma\, Gudmund Pammer\, H. Mete Soner\, Ying Tan\, Josef Teichmann and Renyuan Xu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Orren C. Mohler Prize Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Title of Talk: Building ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope – a unique adventure\n\nAbstract: Scientists around the world are pushing for the next generation of optical/infrared ground-based telescopes with primary mirror diameters from 25 to 40 meters. Finding and characterizing exo-Earths orbiting solar type stars\, some of which may host life\, getting close to the physics of black holes\, peering into galaxy formation at early stages and many other scientific goals in our understanding of the Universe require such enterprises. ESO has now completed ¾ of the construction of its Extremely Large Telescope\, the largest of this new generation with a diameter of over 39 meters\, with a first science light planned for the turn of the decade. The challenges brought by this unique adventure range from amazingly demanding technical requirements\, the development of new technologies\, international cooperation in science\, and a huge programmatic effort involving not only ESO’s 63-year old Intergovernmental Organization with hundreds of people working on the project\, but the scientific community\, R&D institutions and many companies pushing their knowhow to the limit. I will address this multi-faceted challenge which addresses the construction of one of the largest Research Infrastructures on Earth.\n\nTalk and Reception at the Rogel Ballroom\, Michigan Union.

SUMMARY:Performance:Eliza McLamb
DESCRIPTION:Good Story Tour\n\nIt appears to be a trophy at first. Look closer\, and you’ll see the cover of Good Story features Eliza McLamb holding a makeshift award\, hot-glued together from scraps she and her mother salvaged. It is\, of course\, silver — a self-deprecating wink introducing the timbre of McLamb’s sophomore album. These last few years\, McLamb’s been parsing her upbringing\, the songs she wrote about it\, and the whole endeavor of the stories we tell about ourselves. “If you get really good at telling the story of who you are\, you become the story you told instead of the ever-dynamic\, ever-changing person you have to be\,” McLamb says. “I did really well telling the story of who I am\, but I began asking: What’s the point of it?” \n\nAt only 23\, McLamb has already lived multiple lives. In her late teens\, McLamb found success via co-hosting the podcast Binchtopia and sharing songs on TikTok. She soon pulled back from the platform\, feeling it didn’t represent her actual ethos as a songwriter. Instead\, she signed to Royal Mountain and released her 2024 debut Going Through It\, a document of a complex\, traumatic childhood that led to searching phases — dropping out of college during the pandemic in favor of working on Midwest farms\, eventually leaving her North Carolina hometown behind for Los Angeles. It all gave her plenty of stories to tell on Going Through It. And now on Good Story\, she wonders how that process affected her. Yet the homemade trophy of Good Story’s cover is far from a jocular consolation prize alone. It’s a symbol of the layered\, accomplished writing McLamb arrived at as she interrogated everything she thought she was about as an artist.

Along with the powerful\, striking\, high drama and theatricality\, there is the long shadow of ancient Gregorian chant and sacred *a cappella* choral music of the Renaissance as well as whispered prayers and heartfelt pleas. This monumental and transformative work – for large orchestra\, chorus\, and four soloists – is one of the most powerful and moving expressions of the human spirit.\n\nThis extraordinary evening will open with the world premiere of *Event Horizon\, a Fanfare for Orchestra* by SMTD alumnus Ozie Cargile\, whose magnum opus\, *Creation of the Universe*\, was recorded by the Detroit Symphony. \n\nUSO Music Director Kenneth Kiesler conducts the University Symphony Orchestra\, University Chamber Choir\, University Choir\, and Orpheus Singers with soloists\, Jiayu Li\, Grace Ryan\, Kenneth Sielhoff\, and Jonathan Lasch.\n\n*Event Horizon* is the 6th annual commission of SMTD’s Michigan Orchestra Repertoire for Equity initiative (MORE).
