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\" UID:146980-21900149@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260326T060010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260327T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260327T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Artistic Swimming National Championship 2025 @Stanford DESCRIPTION:Artistic swimming Nationals at Stanford.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Her first collection won the PEN American Robert W. Bingham Prize\, the Hurston-Wright award for fiction\, and the Paterson Prize for fiction\; her second won the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize and The Bridge Book Award and was a finalist for The Aspen Prize\, The Story Prize\, and *The LA Times* Book prize. She is a 2024 USA Artists Fellow\, a 2020 National Endowment for the Arts fellow\, and the winner of New Literary Project Joyce Carol Oates Prize.

She is an Associate Professor in The Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University and earned her MFA from The University of Iowa. \n\nHer work is interested in the gap between what happened and how people talk about it—what gets omitted or reframed\, what depends on whose version of the story is centered\, and how those gaps and omissions operate in the space of an individual life\, in a family\, and in a country. She is particularly interested in the question of performance: when the gulf between a character’s public self and private self is an act of conscious performance\, what makes a character aware that a role or performance is being demanded of them\, and how performance can be both an act of resistance and an act of acquiescence\, sometimes at the same time. \n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email kimjulie@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure this event is inclusive to you.

This paper examines the power of dynamic incentives in mitigating both frictions. In the context of a large government-backed credit program in Colombia\, we find evidence that lenders conduct less screening and take on greater risk with government-backed loans than with their traditional products. However\, this tendency is mitigated by a dynamic quota-and-fee mechanism employed by the program.

Is it all a terrible joke?”: A Mahler Talk by Joseph Horowitz DESCRIPTION:Join the University Symphony Orchestra for a program with guest artist and author Joseph Horowitz\, generously sponsored by the Sally Fleming Master Class Fund. Free and open to the public.\n\nGustav Mahler once said: “Why did you live? Why did you suffer? Is it all a terrible joke? We have to solve these questions in some way if we are to continue living. Anyone whose life has heard this call must give an answer.”\n\nAmong Mahler’s nine symphonies\, the Sixth – known as “The Tragic” – furnishes the darkest record of his inner life. After conducting the dress rehearsal for the premiere\, in 1904\, he paced up and down\, sobbing\, wringing his hands\, unable to control himself. At the concert itself\, he was so afraid of the demons he had unleashed that he conducted badly. He subsequently conducted his Sixth Symphony only two times. According to his wife Alma: “No other work flowed so directly from his heart. We both cried at the time\; we felt so deeply what this music meant\, what it forebodingly told us.” Mahler himself felt he possessed a power to intuit the future. \n\nWhat happens in Mahler’s Sixth? What is the “dark omen” of the finale\, with its three hammer blows of fate? And why should it matter to us – more than ever – today?\n\nMahler also said: “Tradition is not the worship of ashes\, but the preservation of fire.” His disciples revered him\; one – the conductor Oskar Fried – called him “pure in a superhuman way”\n\nJoseph Horowitz’s Mahler talk – with copious audio and video clips – will explore Mahler’s Sixth Symphony in the context of Mahler’s life and times. Then he’ll be joined by conductor Kenneth Kiesler to ask: What can we learn today from Mahler the conductor? \n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nJOSEPH HOROWITZ is an award-winning author\, concert producer\, film-maker\, and broadcaster. He is one of the most prominent and widely published writers on topics in American music. As an orchestral administrator and advisor\, he has been a pioneering force in the development of thematic programming and new concert formats. Horowitz’s most recent books include a novel\, *The Marriage: The Mahlers in New York*\, about which Clive Paget wrote in *Musical America*: “With his unparalleled knowledge of fin-de-siècle classical music in America\, Joseph Horowitz [has] brought us closer to Mahler and his wife Alma than any other author I have read. . . . At times\, your heart breaks for them both. . . . In Gustav and Alma Mahler\, Horowitz has created two of classical music’s most convincing fictional portraits.” Another Horowitz book\, *Dvorak’s Prophecy and the Vexed Fate of Black Classical Music*\, tells a story that “must be heard if classical music is to contribute to the national discussion on racial justice” (according to Mark Clague of the University of Michigan). A former *New York Times* music critic\, and Executive Director of the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra\, Horowitz works as an artistic consultant for orchestras throughout the US\, and also regularly produces 50-minute “More than Music” documentaries for National Public Radio.

This study advances a framework for AI‑assisted conversational interviewing to bridge this divide and demonstrates evidence of its practical utility. In a web survey experiment with 1\,800 participants\, we deployed AI “chatbots” powered by large language models to probe respondents for elaboration and to code open‑ended answers in real time. The chatbots achieved reasonably strong accuracy in live coding\, though they exhibited some over-identification of themes\, partly reflecting respondents’ tendency to agree with AI suggestions. They elicited richer\, more detailed responses compared to standard surveys\, with only small trade‑offs in respondent experience. Overall\, our results demonstrate that AI‑supported conversational tools can meaningfully enhance the depth and quality of open‑ended data collection\, pointing to a new generation of scalable\, adaptive survey methods.\n\nLLMs as Synthetic Respondents: A Tool for Augmenting Human Surveys\nSerina Chang\, Assistant Professor at UC Berkeley\, jointly appointed in EECS and Computational Precision Health and part of the Berkeley AI Research (BAIR) Lab. \n\nAbstract: Surveys are an invaluable resource for understanding human opinions and behaviors\, but they require substantial time and effort. Large language models (LLMs) present new opportunities to predict responses to survey questions\, given their natural language abilities and social knowledge acquired during pretraining. Integrating LLMs as synthetic respondents into survey pipelines could improve efficiency across multiple stages—from pre-survey pilot testing and sampling design to post-survey data imputation and analysis—not as a replacement for human participants but as a way to augment existing workflows. However\, these opportunities also raise new challenges\, including how to accurately reflect the opinions of diverse subpopulations\, generalize to questions outside LLM training data\, and reduce computational costs. In this talk\, I describe how we address these challenges in our work. First\, we show that fine-tuning LLMs on survey data substantially improves their ability to predict public opinion\, generalizing to unseen surveys and subgroups. In complementary work\, rather than fine-tuning with additional data\, we leverage knowledge already encoded in the LLM\, showing with probes and sparse autoencoders that models contain far more internal knowledge of human opinions than their outputs reveal. Finally\, we present graph-based approaches as a lightweight alternative: a graph model equipped with language representations from LLMs—but requiring no further LLM training or inference—can match LLM performance on some survey tasks while using orders of magnitude less compute.\n\nValidation and Inference for Survey Research Using Silicon Sampling \nLisa Argyle\, Associate Professor of Political Science at Purdue\n\nAbstract: In both research and commercial applications\, AI is increasingly being used to create synthetic representations of humans. This raises at least two important questions for scientists as they consider the integration of this new tool: How can a researcher know if the silicon survey output is valid? And how can a researcher make new inferences on the basis of synthetic output? Drawing on a synthesis of research on silicon sampling\, I discuss the intellectual foundations of this approach\, the ongoing practical and theoretical challenges\, and cutting edge methodological tools. I conclude by proposing some best practices for conducting transparent open science using large language models.\n \nValidating LLM simulations as behavioral evidence\nJessica Hullman\, Ginni Rometty Professor of Computer Science and Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University.\n\nAbstract: A growing literature positions AI\, and especially large language models (LLMs)\, as a transformative technology for simulating human behavior in surveys and experiments. This promise sparks a debate over how best to leverage this new data source. While a growing number of empirical studies report that LLM-simulated responses can approximate patterns found in real survey and experimental data\, there is little consensus on what it means to show that AI surrogates are valid for the purpose of studying human behavior. I’ll contrast heuristic approaches to validation in the literature from statistical calibration approaches that account for biases learned on items for which human ground truth labels are known. While calibration approaches provide guarantees of the type that social scientists are accustomed to expecting from statistical methods\, they are not a panacea. I’ll describe limitations based on the nature of behavioral data and reflect on meta-scientific questions that arise about the epistemic status of silicon samples as behavioral data.\n\nDiscussant: Ambuj Tewari\, Professor\, Department of Statistics\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor UID:146450-21899125@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146450 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ai,Artificial Intelligence,Data Science,Social Science,Survey Methodology,Survey Research LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260325T130334 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260327T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260327T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Drama and Performance Interest Group DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: The event will now be entirely on Zoom\; please RSVP to receive the Zoom link: https://forms.gle/oNcLN7qMKYUZG2st8\n\nWe hope you will join us for an enriching presentation focused on technical\, practice-based aspects of drama and performance! Snacks will be served.\n\nProfessor Vincent's presentation will center on Moment Work\, a process of devising theatre pioneered by Tectonic Theatre Company\, based in New York City. Developed by theatre practitioners Moisés Kaufman and Barbara Pitts McAdams\, Moment Work is a collaborative\, bottom-up method for creating plays\, which involves breaking down stories into individual 'moments' (using all stage elements like light\, sound\, and props) and sequencing them to build a full narrative\, moving beyond traditional text-based playwriting. Moment Work can also be a method of reading and interpreting dramatic works.\n\nMichael Vincent (he/him) is Technical Director\, Program Administrator\, and Lecturer in Theatre Arts and Studies at Johns Hopkins University. Michael designs JHU Theatre's mainstage productions\, and oversees all technical aspects in Merrick Barn. Michael also works regularly in the professional theatres of Baltimore. He has recently served as set designer or Technical Director for ArtsCentric\, Fells Point Corner Theatre\, Strand Theatre\, and Baltimore Poet’s Theatre. At Hopkins he worked as Co-Director with John Astin for SUNDAY ON THE ROCKS in 2018\, as well Stage Manager\, Board Operator\, and other positions as needed. Michael is interested in all aspects of theatre and is grateful for continued opportunities to grow and explore the art form. He holds a BA in Political Science from JHU (2007) and an MFA in Theatre Arts from Towson University (2024).

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.

DESCRIPTION:This workshop seeks to assist participants in realizing their writing voice and how it relates to academic conventions of formality and genre.\n\nDo you feel that your academic writing should “sound” a certain way? Have you been told to alter the way your thoughts show up on the page? Depending on the rhetorical situation\, audience\, and medium\, our writing voice adopts different formalities. During this workshop\, we’ll unpack how tone\, syntax\, and diction intertwine to encompass our individual writing style. We’ll begin by understanding your thought processes through presenting ideas in your own way\, then moving through exercises that will guide you through how to incorporate feedback while maintaining uniqueness and clarity.\n\nPresented by Chris Crowder\, Sweetland Center for Writing Faculty\n\nRegistration required.

This is largely due to its efficiency in data collection and analyses at regional scales. Questions of human-environment interaction animate research within and across these fields with spectroscopy being a commonly employed technique. In this presentation\, I will detail two applications of remote sensing—one focused on strategies for raw material procurement of prehistoric hunter-gatherers in the Atacama Desert (Chile)\, and the other concerned with modern cultural resource management in southwestern Puerto Rico. Together\, these case studies demonstrate the utility of the method in both the study and preservation of archaeological phenomena.

In this presentation\, Chantal Croteau focuses on one such industry – the tin mining industry\, which exploded along the southwestern coast of then Siam in the 19th century\, generating significant social and economic changes and bringing individuals with different ethnoreligious identities\, categories themselves remade and reformulated over time\, together in arduous and risky labor\, before the collapse of the industry in the late-1980s.\n \n Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and oral history conversations\, she examines the relations of kinship\, precarity\, and loss generated through the volatile world of the boom-and-bust southern tin mining industry\, a world made all the more unstable by earlier state practices that had cultivated debt and addiction within the mining community. Attending to narratives of economic precarity and migration and embodied practices of kinship such as the sharing of food and the caretaking of spiritually dangerous deceased persons\, she analyzes how the building of intimacy and kinship can operate as a strategy of survival in unpredictable times. However\, as the histories of my interlocutors reveal\, the making of kinship requires continuous cultivation\, as relations are fraught with fragility and risk.\n \n Chantal Croteau is a PhD Candidate in Sociocultural Anthropology at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Her long-term research investigates the intersections between extractive industries\, ecological change\, and intercommunal relations in southern Thailand. Previously\, she was a Charlotte W. Newcombe Fellow in religion and ethics. Her creative ethnographic work has been featured in Anthropology & Humanism\, Practicing Anthropology\, and Anthropology News.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at valdezjo@umich.edu.

Terrestrial\, aquatic\, and now even galactic environments are spaces of conquest\, habitation\, cultivation\, and destruction. Moreover\, these diverse environments play a large role in identity formation in these spaces. \n \nFor example\, Paul Kosmin’s latest work\, \"The Ancient Shore\,\" reframes the coast as a conceptual zone and the coastline as an unpredictable site with boundless possibilities. “The ancient shore was where the efforts of communal ordering and intellectual fabrication met the 'raw\,' unassimilated environment most continuously and maximally. It was—and perhaps remains—the primary location for orienting ourselves to a natural world that is given to us without being intended for us (3).” Coasts provide a spatial and chronological liminality where political\, cultural\, scientific\, and philosophical forms of knowledge were continuously invented and new identities claimed. This “spatial turn\,” along with questions of identity-making\, offers new insights into the study of environmental history and compels us to connect people\, objects\, states\, ideas\, and beliefs with places\, spaces\, and time in this light. In turn\, this workshop will explore these intersections between identity-making and the environment.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

In the Dossone della Melia forest in south-central Calabria\, Italy\, Dr. Visonà led a team that identified a 2.7-kilometer-long Roman defensive wall and ditch—initially constructed by the Roman general Marcus Licinius Crassus to contain Spartacus and his forces during their slave revolt. The discovery also included numerous battle remnants such as broken iron weapons\, suggesting that a conflict occurred there. This talk will detail how Visonà’s team uncovered the wall’s historical significance\, all while shedding new light on Roman military history and Spartacus’s legendary rebellion.\n\nKelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators\, staff members\, researchers\, graduate students\, and guests talking about their recent research or current projects.

Recent and ongoing changes in the geopolitical landscape present significant challenges to continued success and to the peace and security that many nations have enjoyed for more than half a century. U.S. strategies to maintain peace and security have aimed at sustaining a credible and effective nuclear deterrent and preventing the spread of nuclear weapons\, along with many other efforts. Changes in force structures\, alliances\, partnerships\, and ambitions of potential adversaries have increased the challenges associated with nuclear deterrence\, and other changes are challenging the continued success of nuclear nonproliferation. This talk will describe many of these challenges and discuss some of the ongoing efforts to meet them.\n\nBio\nDr. Adams began his nuclear career in 1977 as an engineering aide at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant near Chattanooga\, TN. He has spent most of his career since 1986 engaged in a variety of roles related to national and international security. His most recent major role was as the Deputy Administrator for Defense Programs at the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)\, where he was responsible for the programs that design\, manufacture\, certify\, transport\, maintain\, assess\, and dismantle U.S. nuclear weapons\, and for working with other government agencies on policy and force structure decisions related to the U.S. nuclear deterrent. Prior to his Senate confirmation as Deputy Administrator\, Dr. Adams served on the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology\; the Stockpile Assessment Team of the Strategic Advisory Group for U.S. Strategic Command\; the JASON defense advisory group\; the National Academies' Committee on International Security and Arms Control\; the Predictive Science Panel for the Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories (LLNL and LANL)\; the Mission Committee for LANL\; the Predictive Engineering Sciences Panel at Sandia National Laboratories\, and many other review and advisory bodies related to national security. Dr. Adams spent more than five years as a physicist in the weapons program at LLNL and 30 years as Professor of Nuclear Engineering at Texas A&M University before serving as NNSA Deputy Administrator\, and he has returned to the Texas A&M University System as a Senior Advisor in the Nuclear Security Office. Dr. Adams earned his Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in nuclear engineering from the University of Michigan and his B.S. degree in nuclear engineering from Mississippi State University.\n\nThe Richard K. Osborn Lecture series has been made possible by a generous endowment from MIT Professor Emeritus Sidney Yip\, a former student of Professor Osborn. These annual lectures are a tribute to Professor Osborn’s unwavering dedication to the education of students in fundamental science. The goal of these lectures is to inspire future generations of students in nuclear theory and simulation.

Drawing on a multi-year participatory action research collaboration with a governing board\, this talk traces how board members moved through cycles of intuiting\, interpreting\, and integrating as they developed a decision-making rubric for DEI\, yet never institutionalized it. The empirical case reveals a pattern this talk names as \"changing without changing\": boards can build tools\, develop shared language\, and demonstrate genuine learning while avoiding the deeper losses and possibilities that institutional transformation demands. Taking cues from the Du Boisian tradition of rendering visible the interiority that dominant frameworks suppress\, the talk explores what it might mean to take seriously the existential dimensions of institutional life that governance routinely flattens into strategic plans and performance metrics. When boards cannot name or grieve what is ending\, learning may circulate without landing. The talk opens a conversation about whether grief work belongs not at the margins of governance but at its foundation\, and whether attending to what organizations are losing is a precondition for organizational learning that actually transforms.

He starts to read it out loud… and doesn’t stop. At first\, his coworkers hardly notice. But after a series of strange coincidences\, it’s no longer clear whether he’s reading the book or the book is transforming him.\n\nA century after the publication of The Great Gatsby and 20 years after its acclaimed off-Broadway run\, Elevator Repair Service’s GATZ comes to Ann Arbor following its sold-out run at New York’s Public Theater in November 2024. Told over a single 6½-hour production (plus dinner break)\, GATZ is not just a retelling of the Gatsby story\, but an enactment of the novel in which Fitzgerald’s masterpiece is cleverly delivered word for word. This literary tour-de-force by one of American theater’s most exciting and inventive companies is “strangely seductive\, often revelatory\, and altogether ingenious.” (Chicago Sun-Times)\n\nThis performance will take place in four sections with two 15-minute intermissions and a 90-minute dinner break (dinner not included in ticket price) for a total length of approximately eight hours. Information about dinner options will be provided closer to the performances.

In some small cases\, Fraser\, Lam\, and Le observe a phenomenon they call \"web duality''\, where web immanants coincide with web invariants\, and they conjecture that this duality corresponds to transposing the standard Young tableaux that index basis webs. We show that this duality continues to hold for certain SL_3 and SL_4 webs. Combining this with our twisted higher boundary measurement map\, we recover and extend formulas of Elkin-Musiker-Wright for twists of certain cluster variables. We also provide evidence supporting conjectures of Fomin-Pylyavskyy as well as one by Cheung-Dechant-He-Heyes-Hirst-Li classifying cluster variables of low Plücker degree in C[Gr(3\,n)].

Achieving this goal\, however\, requires the accurate realization of smaller-scale quantum gates and control operations. Understanding and characterizing modular gate and control errors is therefore essential for building reliable quantum applications. Earlier work has typically pursued either universal algorithms with theoretical guarantees or black-box engineering approaches with no guarantees. Yet\, problem-specific structures offer opportunities for efficient and robust system characterization at the intersection of theory and practice. In this talk\, I will present how structured signal transformation and processing can be used to exploit such structures. I will first introduce a gate characterization method that is both resource-efficient and robust against complex experimental errors\, drawing parallels to parameter estimation in classical statistics. I will then generalize this idea to functional signals and present a novel non-parametric estimation paradigm.\n\nContact: Zhiyan Ding UID:141902-21889617@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141902 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260306T133125 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260327T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260327T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

Shade is also a special topic of conversation. Attending to the material culture of shade and to embodied ways of engaging built and natural environments\, I explore how thermal desires and expectations shape social relations in the Mozambican city of Inhambane\, while locating shade-seeking practices within hierarchies of care and labor\, or what I call the cultural politics of sweat. Thinking with scholars of thermal colonialism\, I show how narratives around thermal dis/comfort also reveal\, and sometimes obscure\, entrenched forms of colorism rooted in colonial imaginaries of the tropics and settler intimacies that continue to produce privilege and exclusion in Mozambique today. Shade-seeking\, then\, is not simply about keeping cool\, though it certainly is about that too.”\n\nDr. Archambault is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Concordia University and co-editor of AFRICA: Journal of the International Institute. Her work is based on ethnographic research in southern Mozambique and focuses on themes of intimacy\, suburbanization\, affect\, and embodiment. Cutting across much of her research is an interest in how materiality and temporality intersect in the crafting of lives worth living. She is the author of “Mobile Secrets: Youth\, Intimacy and the Politics of Pretense in Mozambique” (2017)\, and her recent work has been published in American Ethnologist\, Journal of Southern African Studies\, Critique of Anthropology\, and City & Society. She is currently working on a book project on well-being and the cultural politics of sweat in Mozambique.

For a variety defined over a more general base\, it is natural to ask what conclusions we can draw about cohomology if the point counts over finite fields (obtained by base changing) are polynomial in the size of the finite field. In this talk\, we will explore the rich web of theorems that relate point counting and cohomology. We will also see some examples that illustrate both the power and the subtleties of these results.

Two sets of mafic dikes cross-cut sedimentary units on the Falklands and represent the only volcanics in the islands. Aside from an isolated exposure of Proterozoic granite\, no other plutonic rocks are known to exist. Here we report the presence of rare to abundant intermediate to felsic volcanic and plutonic pebbles/cobbles from beaches along the northern and southern margins of the Falkland Islands for which there is no obvious source in the islands today. U-Pb LA-ICPMS dating of zircon grains separated from numerous representative volcanic cobbles from the northern beaches demonstrates a Middle-Late Jurassic provenance source between ~165-151 Ma. These ages are comparable to silicic volcanics in Patagonia\, South Africa and the Antarctic Peninsula of the Chon-Aike silicic large igneous province linked with initial Gondwanan break-up\, suggesting that similar volcanics are likely present in the proximal (shallow) offshore portion of the north Falklands that will potentially help to better refine the pre-break up position/tectonics of the Falklands within Gondwana. Additional U-Pb dating of volcanic and plutonic cobbles from southern Falklands beaches indicates a different provenance source\, as indicated by a broad range of Jurassic to Paleocene ages\, which compare favorably with documented rocks from the islands\, submerged banks and volcanic edifices of the North Scotia Arc (e.g.\, Burdwood\, South Georgia). The timing and mechanisms for delivery of these large clasts to the Falkland Islands is confounding but may be related to large submarine slides off the Burdwood Bank and subsequent tsunami deposits during periods of lowered sea level during the Quaternary. Determining the provenance of these allochthonous clasts may help with understanding the complex tectonics of this region and timing of opening of the Scotia Arc and associated ocean currents.

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.

Fragments of moments lived\, translated and understood through metaphor and storytelling. Rabbitology is the project of (University of Michigan student) Nat Timmerman—a world that was pulled from her odd-running mind. \n\nStrange but charming\, you’ll find these songs bundled in capes of star-dusted moss\, grounded in the natural world\, propelled by the raw and the real. If a song takes place in the woods\, then the woods the song will become\; the percussion is the stomping of the leaves\, the synth is a warped fox’s cry. Thus arise the stories of dread-grey skies\, writhing vines\, and shivering pines—stories of a magically real folk horror. The dark and ugly become beautiful here\, and vice versa. In this world\, there is no such thing as “black or white\,” instead\, everything exists together at once.\n\nThis world is for the souls who never quite fit in\, who found themselves like ghosts\, drifting between realms\, never finding anywhere to settle. Simply follow the three-legged rabbit prints until you’re knee deep in this world’s tall grass. Here\, you’re invited to rest\, to dance\, to create\, to ideate\, even if your visit is only for a little while. Stay as long as you like. Make this world your home too. It’s a little unusual in here\, but that’s life!
