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: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: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:Lecture / Discussion:“Power\, Purpose and the Color of Wealth: An Economic Vision that Centers People and the Environments in Which We Live”
DESCRIPTION:Join the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics as we host Darrick Hamilton​\, University and Henry Cohen Professor of Economics and Urban Policy at The New School. Darrick will present\, “Power\, Purpose and the Color of Wealth: An Economic Vision that Centers People and the Environments in Which We Live.”\n\nAbstract: “This talk will set the stage with a brief presentation of the Color of Wealth series\, an exploration of wealth and economic well-being across seven metropolitan areas: Baltimore\, Boston\, Chicago\, Los Angeles\, Miami\, Tulsa\,  Washington DC. disaggregated by race and ancestry.\n\nWith this backdrop\, the talk will explore the manner in which  asymmetries in power and economic agency\, especially by race and other identity groupings\, link to political economic structures and more macro economic deprivations that plague our economy. Ultimately\, this talk will explore the concepts of purpose\, power\, paradigm and solidarity with a purpose of defining and determining an alternative economic vision for a human rights economy  as the point and mechanism for a well-functioning economy and multiracial democracy.”\n\nDarrick Hamilton is the University Professor and Henry Cohen Professor of Economics and Urban Policy at The New School\, where he also founded and directs the Institute on Race\, Power & Political Economy. He additionally serves as Chief Economist at the AFL-CIO. Widely regarded as one of the nation’s foremost public intellectuals\, Professor Hamilton reimagines how an economy should work—identifying bold opportunities to invest in our human capacity and fostering collaborations that advance economic inclusion\, social equity\, and civic engagement in the United States and around the world.\n\nA pioneer in the economics subfield of identity group stratification\, Professor Hamilton’s research has been featured in The New York Times\, Mother Jones\, Bloomberg Businessweek\, and The Wall Street Journal. He has developed and advised on transformative policy proposals—such as baby bonds\, guaranteed income\, and a federal job guarantee—that have inspired legislation and shifted billions of dollars toward building a fair and inclusive economy.\n\nIn 2025\, Professor Hamilton was named the Katherine Hampson Bessell Fellow at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute and was recognized as a Freedom Scholar by the Marguerite Casey Foundation in its 2020 inaugural class. He has advised national and global leaders on economic policy\, including the U.S. Joint Economic Committee and the Senate Banking Committee and also serves on the board of directors of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER).\n\nBorn and raised in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood\, Professor Hamilton earned his bachelor’s degree from Oberlin College and his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.\n\nPlease RSVP to save your seat.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Improved Inference for Nonparametric Regression (joint with G.Cavaliere\, M. Nielsen\, and E. Zanelli)
DESCRIPTION:Nonparametric regression estimators\, including those employed in regression-discontinuity designs (RDD)\, are central to the economist’s toolbox. Their application\, however\, is complicated by the presence of asymptotic bias\, which undermines coverage accuracy of conventional confidence intervals. Extant solutions to the problem include debiasing methods\, such as the widely applied robust bias-corrected (RBC) confidence interval of Calonico et al. (2014\, 2018). We show that this interval is equivalent to a prepivoted interval based on an invalid residualbased bootstrap method. Specifically\, prepivoting performs an implicit bias correction while adjusting the nonparametric regression estimator’s standard error to account for the additional uncertainty introduced by debiasing. This idea can also be applied to other bootstrap schemes\, leading to new implicit bias corrections and corresponding standard error adjustments. We propose a prepivoted interval based on a bootstrap that generates observations from nonparametric regression estimates at each regressor value and show how it can be implemented as an RBCtype interval without the need for resampling. Importantly\, we show that the new interval is shorter than the existing RBC interval. For example\, with the Epanechnikov kernel\, the length is reduced by 17%\, while maintaining accurate coverage probability. This result holds irrespectively of: (a) the evaluation point being in the interior or on the boundary\; (b) the use of a ‘small’ or ‘large’ bandwidths\; (c) the distribution of the regressor and the error term.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Research Institute | Quantum Spin-Mechanics with Color Centers in Diamond: A Potential Platform for Quantum Computing
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: West Hall 411\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91761768567?jst=2\n\nAbstract:\nIn a spin-mechanical system\, electron spins are coupled to vibrations of a nanomechanical resonator.  Coherent interactions between single spins and single phonons take place in the quantum regime of spin-mechanics.  A network of these resonators can enable phonon-mediated coupling between distant electron spin\, leading to a mechanical quantum network of spin qubits and providing an experimental platform for developing spin-based quantum computers.  \nIn this talk\, I will discuss our recent advance in achieving ultracoherent GHz diamond nanomechanical resonators and in developing mechanical quantum networks of spin qubits in diamond.  Localization and localization phase transitions induced by deterministic onsite potentials in a mechanical network are also exploited for the realization of extended network connectivity\, which is deemed essential for large-scale fault tolerant quantum computers. \n\nBio:\nHailin Wang received B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the University of Science and Technology of China and the University of Michigan in 1982 and 1990\, respectively. He was a research investigator at the University of Michigan and subsequently a staff consultant at AT&T Bell Laboratories. He joined the University of Oregon in 1995 where he is now a professor of physics. Dr. Wang has made important contributions to the current understanding of coherent as well as incoherent optical processes in semiconductor nanostructures. He also made the first experimental demonstration of amplitude squeezed light from an injection-locked diode laser and developed a fused silica optical resonator that feature highly directional evanescent tunneling. His work on exciton spin coherence and biexciton coherence has recently led to the first demonstration of electromagnetically induced transparency for interband optical transitions in semiconductors. His current research interest includes optical manipulation of quantum coherences in semiconductors and especially its application in both classical and quantum information processing. Dr. Wang is a recipient of an NSF-CAREER award and is a fellow of the Optical Society of America.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Building Industry Partnerships Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Federal funding trends\, including from NSF\, DOE and ARPA agencies\, indicate increasing interest in translational research – supporting the pathways for fundamental discoveries to have broader societal\, economic or public impact. New funding programs might require researchers to demonstrate their research impact at the proposal stage through established partnerships with companies that signal market interest or investment\, formal commitments like licensing agreements\, and/or evidence of technology readiness levels. Researchers who build these industry partnerships in advance will have a critical edge in a competitive funding landscape.\n\nThe Office of Research Development will host a webinar series for U-M researchers that explains why and how to build industry partnerships that advance mutual R&D goals. Webinars will take place noon-1:30 pm each day\; calendar invites will be sent upon registration. \n\nFebruary 25: Discovery to Innovation - Gain a practical framework for deciding when to engage industry\, how to demonstrate impact credibly and which funding mechanisms align with research maturing and scholarly goals.\nMarch 26: Industry Engagement for Faculty: From Early Signals to Funded Partnerships - Learn meaningful engagement strategies across the research lifecycle\, emphasizing alignment with academic incentives\, research integrity and appropriate funding mechanisms. \nApril 9: Building Industry Partnerships that Last: Whom to Talk to\, What to Ask - Learn how to identify the right industry counterparts\, structure early conversations to surface meaningful research and translational opportunities and set expectations that can evolve into sustained collaboration.   \nContact RD-Support@umich.edu with questions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Powering Empire: Hydroelectricity and Highland Taiwan under Japanese Colonial Rule
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in room 1010\, Weiser Hall. It will not be livestreamed or recorded.\n   \n   As the Japanese Empire expanded in the 1930s and 40s\, it sought to use hydroelectricity to transform colonial Taiwan into an industrial hub. This\, in turn\, relied upon controlling natural and societal conditions in remote mountain valleys. By exploring the consequences of these efforts\, this talk argues for seeing the material basis of Japanese expansion not just in extracted resources but in re-engineered landscapes and communities.\n   \n   John Kanbayashi is assistant professor of history and sociology of science at the University of Pennsylvania. His current book uses rivers and watersheds in Taiwan to understand how Japanese imperialism and its afterlives remade ecologies and societies. Other active research interests include climate science in Japan and agricultural colonization across the Japanese diaspora.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at sarachit@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Life's Work in Boxes: Poet Perspectives on Archival Collecting and Research
DESCRIPTION:Poet and scholar Rebecca Kosick\, once a student of The Alternative Press co-founder Ken Mikolowski in the U-M Residential College\, recently completed a book about The Alternative Press and will discuss her experience working with the archive from a research perspective. Then\, Detroit poet Mïïgun will join to moderate a conversation between Kosick and Mikolowski\, illuminating their varied perspectives on the work of The Alternative Press and its subsequent life as archival material. \n\nIn 1969 poet and artist couple Ken and Ann Mikolowski began a humble operation called The Alternative Press that would later pull household names like Allen Ginsburg into its orbit. For thirty years they collected poetry and art from their friends and wider circle\, and distributed these creations in manila envelopes through the mail. The archive of their life's-work-worth of material is now held at the University of Michigan Library's Special Collections Research Center.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Drafted Nation: Economic and Political Legacies of Conscription (with Siddharth George and Kewei Zhang)
DESCRIPTION:This paper provides the first comprehensive evidence on the multifaceted legacy of military conscription across the world. We construct a new global database of conscription policy reforms linked to hundreds of census and survey data sources. Exploiting cohort-based eligibility cutoffs\, we compare individuals just eligible for service to those just exempt. On average\, conscription increases men's adult socioeconomic status\, driven by higher university attainment\, greater geographic mobility\, and the transferability of military-acquired skills. Effects are largest where the opportunity cost of service is low and reintegration into civilian life is strong. Economic gains extend to households: women who marry conscription-eligible men experience higher living standards\, and their children exhibit lower mortality\, despite no direct effects on women's own education or employment. Conscription also fosters interethnic marriage\, national-language use\, and patriotic attachment\, but simultaneously increases xenophobia and gender conservatism\, revealing a tradeoff between national integration and tolerance. Effects vary widely across countries depending on political institutions\, development\, diversity\, and conscription design. Economic and sociopolitical effects are positively correlated\, suggesting that nation-building is strongest where conscription delivers greater economic returns.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:AAC From All Sides
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel discussion featuring those involved with creating\, obtaining\, and using AAC devices. The panel will contain Speech Language Pathologists\, assistive technology specialists\, educators\, engineers\, and resources for obtaining technology. Ask questions\, explore possible career paths\, and expand your knowledge of communication. Welcome to all!\n\nAccording to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association:\nAssistive and Alternative Communication devices are used by individuals who cannot rely on their speech. Typically\, these individuals with expressive language impairment have disabilities like autism spectrum disorder\, cerebral palsy\, and others. AAC devices can also be used by those who need temporary assistance\, like those recovering from surgery. As the name suggests\, these devices are used to add to the individual's existing communication and give them the opportunity to fully realize their communication capabilities.\n\nAAC devices come in many different forms. Some lower tech options include pointing to letters\, pointing to pictures\, gestures/facial expressions\, and picture exchange communication systems. High tech options include using an app on a digital device and using a speech-generating device. One person's AAC may include one or multiple of these options\, they are all part of the communication system.\n\nInterested? Come learn more!\n\nGenerously made possible by the Larry Motola Linguistics Fund\, established to support the development of curriculum projects and research related to cognitive process and conditions\, and their interaction with language and neurodiversity.\n\nPlease RSVP here: https://forms.gle/6HUGV6Ar8ywvTAok6\n\nWHEN: April 9th\, 2026\n\nWHERE: Online\n\nTIME: 2:30-4:00 PM EST

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Bioengineering Human Embryo and Organ Models\n\nAbstract:\nEarly human development remains largely mysterious and challenging to study. In this talk\, I will describe our efforts to harness human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and bioengineering approaches to create controllable models of human peri-gastrulation development and early organogenesis. These models recapitulate key in vivo developmental landmarks\, including amniotic cavity formation\, amniotic ectoderm-epiblast patterning\, primordial germ cell specification\, embryonic germ layer organization\, yolk sac formation\, and primitive hematopoiesis. Our current work focuses on using these controllable models as experimental platforms to dissect the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying cell fate decisions\, tissue patterning\, and self-organization during human peri-gastrulation.\n\nI will also discuss our application of bioengineering tools and hPSCs to model critical aspects of early human neural development\, including neural patterning in both brain and spinal cord regions\, along rostrocaudal and dorsoventral axes. Ongoing projects further aim to model key features of human heart and gut tube development\, as well as somitogenesis. Together\, these efforts have established a suite of bioengineered human embryo and organ models with in vivo-like spatiotemporal cell differentiation and organization\, providing powerful platforms for studying human development\, physiology\, and disease.\n\nBio:\nDr. Jianping Fu is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan whose research bridges bioengineering\, stem cell biology\, and developmental biology to advance understanding of human development and disease. He is internationally recognized for pioneering work in “Artificial Embryos\,” named one of MIT Technology Review’s 10 Breakthrough Technologies of 2018 and “the Method of 2023” by Nature Methods. Dr. Fu has received major awards from the National Science Foundation\, the American Chemical Society\, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation\, and the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES). He is an elected Fellow of AAAS\, AIMBE\, RSC\, ASME\, IAMBE\, and BMES\, and serves on the Governing Council of IAMBE. In addition to his research\, Dr. Fu has been deeply engaged in scientific leadership and service. He served on the ISSCR Guidelines Working Group and now chairs the ISSCR Scientific Programs Committee. In recognition of his service\, he received the ISSCR Public Service Award in 2025. He is currently Editor-in-Chief of npj Regenerative Medicine and serves on editorial boards of several journals including Cell Stem Cell and Biophysical Journal.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:International Students Career Series: How to Navigate Small Talk
DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, many people participate in what is called small talk\, where they make conversation with strangers or acquaintances about non-controversial topics\, such as the weather\, sports\, or popular television shows. Small talk is one of the ways in American cultureto chat about harmless topics to establish a connection and start to build a friendship.For example\, while waiting for an interview\, in line at a M-Den\, or an elevator on campus\, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like\, “Did you watch the Football Game last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation.This workshop is open to all students\, so if you are interested in learning more about small talk\, now it’s your chance to sign up. In this workshop\, we will educate you on what small talk is\, and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with peers!  This event's information is shown in Handshake as well as on the Happening @ Michigan calendar so that it will be seen by a larger number of U-M Students. You can only register to attend this event within Handshake.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899: Anne Collins McLaughlin
DESCRIPTION:Our senses and minds construct our reality. Both are inherently limited and we naturally seek tools to improve our experiences. Anyone who covers their ears as a siren roars past\, turns on closed captions\, or dons sunglasses on a bright day has altered ‘reality.’ As technology advances\, we can also control reality with cutting-edge extended reality (XR) technologies\, which add to\, subtract from\, and remap sounds and visuals in our world. A new and unexplored form of XR cognition aids involve “diminished reality\,” where visuals and sounds from the environment are eliminated to direct focal attention\, reduce distraction\, and relieve the operator of the need to exert selective attention. This presentation will cover the perceptual and mental processes underlying XR cognition aids\, with methods of testing the effectiveness of these aids\, current domains of inquiry\, and results from several laboratory experiments on how altering visual and auditory reality can affect performance\, experience\, and learning.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Quantifying and Remunerating Flexibility of Grid-Connected Devices
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe discuss how emerging trends in electricity markets provide economic and environmental incentives for the development of new and flexible technologies capable of shifting loads across space and time and across scales. Harnessing flexibility is critical for the power grid as this seeks to absorb increasing amounts of intermittent renewable power.  However\, participation of devices in highly dynamic/volatile markets can lead to fast degradation and lost value\, which hinders participation. This raises the need to quantify the value of different types of flexibility provided by devices and to potentially create new markets that properly remunerate such flexibility. We illustrate the concepts via applications in energy storage\, data centers\, and electrochemical manufacturing. \n\nBiography:\nVictor M. Zavala is the Baldovin-DaPra Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is affiliated with the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory. He holds a B.Sc. degree from Universidad Iberoamericana and a Ph.D. degree from Carnegie Mellon University\, both in chemical engineering. He is an associate editor for ACS-I&ECR and is on editorial board of the journals Mathematical Programming Computation and Computers & Chemical engineering. He is a recipient of NSF and DOE Early Career awards and of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). His research interests include data science\, control\, and optimization and applications to chemical\, energy\, and environmental systems.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2025-2026 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"The Search for Habitable-Zone Planets around the Nearest Stars:  Challenges\, Opportunities and Side Quests\"\n\nAbstract: In this talk I will discuss the challenges associated with the discovery of terrestrial mass planets orbiting in the Habitable Zones of the nearest stars\, and how these challenges have required us to develop extraordinarily stable and sensitive spectrometer in the optical and near-infrared to measure the subtle Doppler wobble introduced by these planets. These tools\, coupled with new analysis techniques are beginning to reveal such planets\, but highlighting also the challenges of stellar activity. I will discuss the development and evolution of some of these instruments (HPF & NEID) and the progress being made in tacking stellar activity. I will also highlight some of the discoveries made along the way\, like the most eccentric transiting planet\, a rare population of giant planets transiting M dwarfs\, the confirmation of GAIA’s first astrometric exoplanet discovery\, and systems which offer us unique insights into spots and activity.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GEOMETRY SEMINAR:  ERGODIC AVERAGES OVER COMPACT SUBMANIFOLDS AND APPLICATION TO DIOPHANTINE APPROXIMATION
DESCRIPTION:We prove a pointwise ergodic theorem for averages over dilates of a compact submanifold for a measure-preserving Rd-action\, under the assumption of exponential mixing. We also obtain error rates\, giving explicit bounds on the speed of convergence. This has an application in multiplicative Diophantine approximation providing a partial analogue of Khintchine’s 0− 1 law. This is a joint work with Reynold Fregoli and Dmitry Kleinbock.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Jina Kim\, \"at the end of the world\, let there be you: Crip-of-Color Writing in the Apocalyptic Now\"
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Jina Kim will discuss her new book\, Care at the End of the World: Dreaming of Infrastructure in Crip-of-Color Writing (Duke UP 2025)\, which demonstrates why we need radical disability politics and aesthetics for navigating contemporary crises of care. She will also debut some new work on the politics and poetics of crip-of-color friendship\, and discuss the forms of relation and care that emerge because of--not despite--disability. Care at the End of the World brings a disability lens to bear on feminist\, queer\, and crip-of-color writing following major US welfare reform\, which passed in 1996. Looking to authors such as Octavia Butler\, Jesmyn Ward\, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha\, and Aurora Levins Morales\, Kim examines how this body of literature grapples with the disabling effects of state austerity measures and interrupts dominant narratives about who deserves care. She calls forward the critiques and possibilities in their literary representations of infrastructure\, honoring the imaginative work that these writers do to envision alternative infrastructural arrangements in a world that refuses to support them.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Nanoelectrochemistry for Multi-Dimensional Bioanalysis
DESCRIPTION:Nanoscale in-vivo studies on the signaling of a broad range of neurotransmitters are essential to understand brain functions and diseases. In this talk\, I will first describe our efforts in the development and creation of versatile electroanalytical liquid-liquid junction probes to enable the detection of redox-inactive transmitters. By using the liquid/liquid approach\, we circumvent the challenges in the measurement of non-redox-active neurotransmitters using nano-electroanalytical methods. In addition\, I will share our recent efforts in developing dual-channel nano-carbon-liquid/liquid junction electrodes for multi-modal analysis of both redox-active and non-redox-active analytes. Then I will present our studies on high spatiotemporal bioanalysis using model living organisms. We employed scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) to position our nanoprobes accurately with nm spatial resolution. Our results show that our nanoprobes\, with sizes as small as 15 nm in radius\, can detect and quantify the acetylcholine neurotransmission in real time\, at a high spatiotemporal resolution\, with a high signal-to-noise ratio\, and in biologically relevant fluids. The nano/micro-electroanalytical platform we developed is enabling a variety of new measurements on signaling dynamics across a diverse range of length scales\, i.e.\, at single cells\, at single synapses\, in living mice brains\, and will create exciting opportunities in studying transmission from various neuronal models and in our understanding of neurological disorders from a distinctive perspective. \n  \n\nAcknowledgment: I am grateful to the Alfred P.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Miller-Converse Lecture: States of Distrust: Science and Politics in America
DESCRIPTION:The relationship between science and politics is inevitably fraught. This is particularly the case in the United States in the 21st century: partisans are more polarized in their trust in scientists than in virtually any other societal institution. James Druckman identifies the origins and consequences of that polarization. Polarized scientific trust disincentivizes partisans from compromising with one another and prompts them to politicize science. It also generates massive discoordination between states\, with severe consequences for public goods provision (particularly with regard to public health). Druckman offers a path forward\, for building trust in scientists with the goal of reducing polarization and de-politicizing science.\n\nJames N. Druckman is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Rochester. He previously was the Payson S. Wild Professor and a Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University. He is also an Honorary Professor of Political Science at Aarhus University in Denmark. Druckman has published approximately 200 articles and book chapters in political science\, communication\, economics\, science\, and psychology journals. He has authored\, co-authored\, or co-edited seven books. His recent books include Partisan Hostility and American Democracy: Explaining Political Divides (University of Chicago Press\, 2024)\, Equality Unfulfilled: How Title IX's Policy Design Undermines Change to College Sports (Cambridge University Press\, 2023)\, and Experimental Thinking: A Primer on Social Science Experiments (Cambridge University Press\, 2022).\n\nThe Miller-Converse Lecture is the University of Michigan’s preeminent lecture series on American Electoral Politics. The Series honors the legacy of CPS Founder Warren Miller and former CPS and ISR Director Philip Converse.\n\nThis event will take place live at ISR Thompson Street Room 1430\, any may also be live-streamed on Zoom:\n\nThis lecture will also be streamed on Zoom:\n\nTime: Apr 9\, 2026 04:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/96954959124\n\nMeeting ID: 969 5495 9124\nPasscode: 825206

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Why so many “slow” species? Rethinking trade-offs in tropical forests
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - In this talk\, I examine how functional constraints shape ecological strategies and ultimately the diversity of tropical forests. I show that the classic trade-off frameworks that organize much of ecological thinking are more flexible than often assumed: constraints can vary across scales\, traits can provide redundant solutions to the same functional challenge\, and key functional axes can become decoupled. Together\, these patterns suggest that biodiversity may emerge from the interaction of multiple\, partially independent dimensions of organismal function.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CCPS Lecture. The Trauma of Serfdom: The Psychological Legacy of Unfree Labor in Poland
DESCRIPTION:Coerced labor was a defining feature of the early modern world. While Atlantic slavery has received most scholarly attention\, Eastern European serfdom remains comparatively understudied. Twentieth-century historiography portrayed it as relatively meek system. In his book *Chamstwo*\, Kacper Pobłocki challenges this view by exposing the profound brutality of serfdom. As Adam Bućkiewicz observed in 1830\, Polish serfs “lived as if enveloped in a foggy\, heavy\, and putrid atmosphere.” Pobłocki argues that peasant culture emerged as a creative response to systemic class violence—for instance\, the ritual cultivation of matted hair\, the Polish plait\, functioned as a form of vernacular therapy.\n   \n   Around 19 percent of Poles today suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder—a rate exceeding the global average of 5 to 10 percent. This is typically attributed to World War II\, yet Pobłocki’s research suggests that its roots reach deeper. In the sequel to *Chamstwo*\, he examines how the first generation of peasants freed from serfdom coped with the psychological burden of their parents’ subjugation\, revealing how they developed strategies to free themselves from its legacy. Remarkably\, these strategies—devised by largely illiterate peasants at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries—anticipate contemporary psychological insights into trauma recovery.\n   \n   Kacper Pobłocki is a social anthropologist\, writer\, and associate professor at the University of Warsaw. He is a graduate of the Central European University and a former fellow at the Center for Place\, Culture and Politics at CUNY (directed by David Harvey). He has published academic articles in journals such as the *International Journal of Urban and Regional Research* and has authored two books in Polish: *Spatial Origins of Capitalism* (2017)\, which received the “Economicus” Award for the best Polish economics book of the year\, and *Chamstwo* (2021)\, which was a finalist for the “Nike” —Poland’s most prestigious literary award. His current work intersects historical anthropology and psychology and deals with the experience of serfdom and its social\, political and psychological aftermath.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:GISC Event. Senses of Mourning: Moharram Performances in Shiʿi Iran from the Qajar to the Covid Era
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 9\, 2026\, 5:00 PM\n   Location: 110 Weiser Hall (1st floor)\, 500 Church St\, Ann Arbor\, MI\n   RSVP: http://myumi.ch/79WRE\n   \n   Join the University of Michigan Global Islamic Studies Center (GISC) on Thursday\, April 9\, 2026\, in 110 Weiser Hall at 5:00 PM for a talk by Dr. Babak Rahimi (University of California\, San Diego) on his new book *Senses of Mourning: Moharram Performances in Shiʿi Iran from the Qajar to the Covid Era* (University of Pennsylvania Press\, 2026).\n   \n   Through a tactile\, affective\, and sensory lens\, this talk examines how devotional Moharram performances in Shiʿi Iran have changed over time. Dr. Rahimi analyzes Moharram in Iran through the five senses—sight\, sound\, touch\, smell\, and taste—highlighting how religious practices function as evolving embodied experiences. Senses of Mourning illuminates the changing embodied dimensions of religious practice and situates Moharram rituals within the broader sociopolitical and global transformations of Shiʿi Iran–an especially important site of study in the current time of conflict.\n   \n   \n   Meet the speaker:\n   \n   Dr. Babak Rahimi is Professor of Culture\, Religion\, and Technology at the University of California\, San Diego. He is also Director of the Program for the Study of Religion and Director of the Middle East Studies Program. Rahimi’s first monograph\, *Theater-State and the Formation of the Early Modern Public Sphere in Iran: Studies on Safavid Muharram Rituals\, 1590–1641 C.E. *(Brill\, 2011)\, offers a historical-sociological exploration of the interplay between public rituals\, state power\, and social dynamics in the Safavid era.\n   \n   His latest book\, *Senses of Mourning: Moharram Performances in Shi‘i Iran from the Qajar to the Covid Era *(University of Pennsylvania Press\, 2026)\, examines the role of sensory religion in Iranian historical contexts. Rahimi is also the editor of *Theatre in the Middle East: Between Performance and Politics* (Anthem Press\, 2020) and *Performing Iran: Culture\, Performance\, Theatre *(I.B. Tauris\, 2021). In addition\, he co-edited *Social Media in Iran* (with David Faris\, SUNY Press\, 2015)\, *The Wiley Blackwell History of Islam* (with Armando Salvatore and Roberto Tottoli\, Wiley Blackwell\, 2018)\, and *Muslim Pilgrimage in the Modern World* (with Peyman Eshaghi\, University of North Carolina Press\, 2019).\n   \n   His research focuses on the intersections of culture\, religion\, and technology\, with particular attention to the historical and social contexts of early modern Islamicate societies and the Global South.\n\nThe University of Pennsylvania Press is offering a 30% press discount on Dr. Rahimi's book to our audience members and friends with the code PENN-RAHIMI30. Visit: https://www.pennpress.org/9781512828344/senses-of-mourning/ to purchase. \n   \n   This event is brought to you by the University of Michigan Global Islamic Studies Center as part of our ongoing \"Qahwah & Authors\" series.\n   \n   For more events from the Global Islamic Studies Center at the University of Michigan\, please visit ii.umich.edu/islamicstudies.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Living with Treaties Conference
DESCRIPTION:In-person and virtual registration: http://myumi.ch/61n9J\n\nJoin us April 9-11\, 2026\, for Living with Treaties: The 1817 Project\, the University of Michigan\, and the Western Expansion of the United States. This hybrid conference will explore the role of treaties in the development of both the University of Michigan and the state of Michigan\, while considering how their effects continue to resonate locally\, regionally\, and nationally today for an Indigenous present and future.\n\nThe conference will bring together members of Anishinaabe Tribal communities\; U-M faculty\, staff\, and students\; K-12 educators\; scholars\; tribal historians\; and community activists for roundtable discussions\, panels\, and workshops that aim to inform and connect with non-specialist audiences.\n\nConference sessions will focus on key themes that include the role of treaties in the founding and development of the University of Michigan\, such as the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs\; the ongoing impact of 19th-century treaty agreements on tribal communities in the region\; and the ways in which these treaties continue to shape contemporary Native activism and legal efforts. Discussions will also explore the broader histories of colonization and Indigenous dispossession across what is now the state of Michigan and the Midwest region of the U.S\, with an eye to how local and regional histories provide valuable insights into broader national patterns.\n\nThe conference is free and open to all\, and will be livestreamed and recorded. Registration is encouraged but not required. We will send out reminder emails and event updates when you register.\n\nThe Living with Treaties: The 1817 Project\, the University of Michigan\, and the Western Expansion of the United States Conference is part of The 1817 Project: Land\, Culture\, Memory\, and Repair\, one of the major research initiatives of the University of Michigan’s Inclusive History Project. Led by Eric Hemenway\, Bethany Hughes\, and Michael Witgen\, The 1817 Project is a multi-disciplinary examination of the foundational land transfer by the Ojibwe\, Odawa\, and Boodewaadamii nations in the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs (also known as the Treaty of the Maumee Rapids)\, which was part of the University of Michigan’s 1817 origins in Detroit and subsequent relocation to Ann Arbor\, as well the university’s ongoing connections to Indigenous land and contemporary issues of Native American student experience. Learn more about The 1817 Project at https://inclusivehistory.umich.edu/project-site/the-1817-project/.\n\nThe Living with Treaties: The 1817 Project\, the University of Michigan\, and the Western Expansion of the United States Conference is presented by the Inclusive History Project in partnership with the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies (EIHS) and with the support of the Bentley Historical Library\, Clements Library\, the Department of American Culture\, the Department of History\, the Marsal Family School of Education\, the Native American Student Association\, the Native American Studies Program\, Rackham Graduate School\, Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, and the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).\n\nFor questions or more information\, contact inclusivehistory@umich.edu.\n\n--\n\nSchedule & Panel Descriptions\n\nDay 1\nThursday\, April 9\, 2026\, Pendleton Room\, Michigan Union\n\nWelcome & Keynote Roundtable\n5:30pm – 8:30pm\n\nWhat Does it Mean to Live with Treaties? A Roundtable on Indigenous History\n\nThis keynote roundtable will bring together several renowned Indigenous scholars with expertise in Indigenous and U.S. history\, as well as in tribal\, federal\, and constitutional law. Together\, they will reflect on the past\, present\, and future of Indigenous History\, including the fundamental issue of treaties and their downstream effects into the present. A central theme of this session is: where did Indigenous history start from\, where is it going\, and what challenges and obstacles remain within the field? The panel will also consider the more specific question of treaties\, land\, and dispossession within a broader\, comparative framework that builds upon recent studies of “land grab” politics across U.S. history as a whole. Additionally\, the speakers will reflect on a second theme central to their scholarship: that U.S. history cannot be understood without recognizing the central role of Indigenous histories and experiences.\n\n5:30 – 6:30pm: Reception with light fare with the panelists.\n6:30 – 7:00pm: Conference Opening with Emcee Bethany Hughes and Welcome Song shared by Stick City\, U-M’s Native American Student Association’s Drum Group.\n7:00 – 8:30pm: Opening Remarks by U-M President Grasso and former EIHS Director John Carson followed by the keynote roundtable\, and public Q&A.\n\nAll events are open to the public. This roundtable is made possible through the partnership of the IHP-1817 Project and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, who are co-sponsoring this event as part of their annual lecture series.\n\nSpeakers: Maggie Blackhawk\, Ned Blackhawk\, Matthew Fletcher\, Michael Witgen\n\nModerator: Greg Dowd\n\n--\nDay 2\nFriday\, April 10\, 2026\, Kuenzel Room\, Michigan Union\n\nDay 2 Welcome & Session 1\n9:15am – 11:00am\n\nWhy Study Michigan Now? Situating the University of Michigan and the Great Lakes Region in the Broader Histories of Native American Dispossession\, Removal\, “Land Grab” Politics\, and U.S. Higher Education\n\nThis panel takes as a starting point the founding moment represented by the land transfer to U-M in Article 16 of the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs\, but widens the scope of inquiry to include subsequent treaties and land transfer schemes that facilitated the development of the University and the state of Michigan. This panel will present the “receipts\,” to visually represent the transfer of wealth from Native people to the citizens of the state of Michigan.\n\nThis panel will demonstrate that the histories of U-M\, the state of Michigan\, and the broader Great Lakes region are crucial contexts for understanding the broader histories of dispossession\, removal\, land grab politics\, and the development of American higher education. Discussion of the 1817 Project\, including an explanation of its origins and a showcase of its ongoing work\, will illustrate how the project is addressing fundamental questions of U.S. history.\n\nSpeakers: Jay Cook\, Michael Witgen\, Jonathan Quint\, Gabrielle Ione Hickmon\n\n--\nDay 2 Session 2\n11:15am – 12:30pm\n\nUniversities and Indigenous Dispossession\n\nThis panel will explore the deep links between colonization\, Indigenous dispossession\, and the growth of colleges and universities in the United States. While the 1862 Morrill Land Grant College Act is often cited as a pivotal moment in the history of American higher education\, centering the narrative on the mid-nineteenth century risks obscuring the broader role that Indigenous land played in underwriting American colleges and universities. Long before the Morrill Act\, institutions such as the University of Michigan relied on land appropriated through treaties to finance operations\, expand campuses\, and diversify educational opportunities for students. At the same time\, public domain land was being used for internal improvements\, with universities serving as part of this larger project of development. The Morrill Act extended and formalized these practices\, redistributing millions of acres of Indigenous land to fund the expansion of higher education across the United States. By bringing the pre- and post-Morrill Act eras into conversation\, this panel will show how Indigenous land has remained a foundational resource for American higher education from its beginnings through the present.\n\nSpeakers: Mary Shi\, Jon Parmenter\, Alyssa Mt. Pleasant\n\nChair: Ned Blackhawk\n\n--\nDay 2 Session 3\n1:30pm – 2:45pm\n\nHow to Read A Treaty: Legal Battles and the Continuing Impact of U.S.-Anishinaabeg Treaties\n\nThis panel will demonstrate how important Michigan-area treaties such as the 1836 Washington Treaty and 1855 Treaty of Detroit continue to shape the lives of the Anishinaabe people of the state\, and how their meaning and enforcement remain subjects of legal challenges and political activism. To show the continuing impact of treaties\, and the ways in which they serve as foundational documents of Anishinaabeg-U.S. political and legal relations\, our speakers will draw from their experience as legal scholars\, jurists\, litigators\, and expert witnesses. Collectively\, they will discuss cases such as Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa v. Whitmer\, which considered whether the 1855 Treaty of Detroit created a reservation for the LTBB Odawa in northern Michigan\, as well as current litigation on the Line 5 Pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac and the broader historical contexts of these cases.\n\nSpeakers: Matthew Fletcher\, Riyaz Kanji\, James McClurken\n\nChair: Maggie Blackhawk\n\n--\nDay 2 Session 4\n3:00pm – 4:15pm\n\nOn the Hidden Histories of Public Domain Land\n\nThis panel will explore the creation of public lands in the Michigan Territory and state through the multiple treaties negotiated by the federal government with the Indigenous peoples of Michigan. Historically\, federal officials pressured tribes in Michigan to agree to the extinction of Native title to their lands\, even when there was no immediate demand for those lands. This meant not only that tribes were deprived of a valuable asset\, but also that this asset was able to appreciate in value until such time as it was sold by the state. In order to convince Native peoples to sign these treaties\, the 1836 Washington and 1855 Detroit treaties guaranteed Native peoples the right to hunt\, fish\, and harvest on ceded territory not yet converted into private property. Reinforcing the enduring relevance of treaties across time\, this panel will focus on the protests\, activism\, and legal battles that have emerged over Indigenous resource rights in Michigan\, all of which revolve around differing interpretations of land and treaties. The panel will center the experiences and insights of community members who participated in these events.\n\nSpeakers: Mae Wright\, Emily Proctor\n\nChair: Eric Hemenway\n\n--\nDay 3\nSaturday\, April 11\, 2026\, Forum Hall\, 4th Floor\, Palmer Commons\n\nDay 3 Welcome & Session 5\n9:00am – 10:30am\n\nHow to Think About the Origins of Indian Removal Politics From a Great Lakes Perspective\n\nThis panel will highlight how two Michigan Anishinaabe communities\, the Pokagon Band of Boodewaadamii and the Burt Lake Band of Odawa and Ojibwe Indians\, had different experiences with removal and federal recognition\, shaping their distinct paths and histories. It will combine historical analysis of the development of various nineteenth-century land companies and land transfer schemes with presentations by community representatives who can discuss the resistance of their communities to Indian Removal\, as well as how they have fought or are still fighting to have their sovereignty and territory recognized by the federal government. This panel will discuss the shifting understandings and contexts of Indian Removal\, focusing on examples from Michigan and the broader Great Lakes Basin\, such as encroachment from settler colonists\, forced migration by military forces\, and Indian Boarding schools\, that illuminate nationally significant aspects of Indian Removal policy.\n\nSpeakers: Wenona T. Singel\, Blaire Morseau-Topache\n\nChair: Michael Witgen\n\n--\nDay 3 Session 6\n10:45am – 12:00pm\n\nTeaching Native American and Treaty History in K-12 Classrooms\n\nThis panel brings together educators from public schools and library professionals to share their experiences and insights on teaching Native American history in a range of educational settings. Panelists will discuss best practices for engaging students\, building inclusive curricula and lesson plans\, and addressing the gaps and challenges that persist in public education. Drawing on their experience teaching Native American history\, they will reflect on what has proven most effective\, what barriers remain\, and how educators can collaborate to move this work forward.\n\nSpeakers: Joe Erdmann\, Kara Johnson\, Annemarie Conway\n\nChair: Eric Hemenway\n\n--\nDay 3 Conference Wrap-up with Closing Remarks by Dr. Michael Witgen\n12:00 – 12:15pm\n\n--\nDay 3 Living with Treaties Community Connections Forum\n12:00pm – 3:00pm\n\nEqual parts resource fair\, poster session\, and tabling event\, the Community Connections Forum will serve as a platform for fostering connections among attendees\, the 1817 Project\, U-M campus partners\, and student organizations connected to the themes of the conference.\n\nDJ set by Sicangu Lakota multi-genre music artist\, educator\, and storyteller Frank Waln.\n\n--\nDay 3 Concurrent Breakout Workshops for K-12 Educators*\n1:15pm – 2:45pm\n\nTeaching Native American and Treaty History in Public Classrooms\n\nThis session will consist of teaching workshops designed for K-12 educators\, with two separate workshops targeted for elementary\, junior\, and high school level instructors. The workshops will include short preparatory presentations on subjects relevant to the conference\, such as treaties or public domain land\, with accompanying guidance on how to teach the subject matter.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SAPAC GROWE: Engendering Respectful Communities Workshops - SY25 - 26
DESCRIPTION:Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces\, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention\, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROPWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.

SUMMARY:Performance:\"Threshold\" – Dance BFA Concert
DESCRIPTION:*This event is sold out. Limited tickets may be available at the door at 7:15 pm.*\n\nThe Department of Dance presents *Threshold*\, a collection of five works choreographed and directed by senior Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance majors Zamora Tamminga\, Sarah Snow\, Melisa Orduna\, Mia Brooks\, and Zeenia Shahpurwala. \n\n*Something has come undone* (Tamminga) is a series of vignettes of interpersonal relationships\, highlighting jazz music as a vessel for spontaneity\, resistance\, and connectivity. This theatrical work is set in a jazz bar\, where one’s intimate moments become deceptively public\, and where trying to forget may not be enough. \n\nDrawing from family dynamics\, sisterhood\, and early experiences of navigating unfamiliar emotions\, *Strangers Again* (Snow) examines how people carry\, suppress\, or redirect feelings\, and how those patterns manifest in the physical body. The dancers move through states of physical closeness and emotional distance\, tracing cycles of withdrawal\, fatigue\, and collective support. \n\n「三⾯鏡」*Sanmenkyou* (Brooks) is a triptych following three relational “faces”: the face shown to self\, the one to society\, and the face presented to the world through digital platforms\; where authenticity\, performance\, and global visibility coexist. Fundamentally based on the Japanese concepts of *honne* (true feelings) and *tatemae* (public façade)\, the conditions this describes are familiar to many multi-ethnic individuals navigating multiple cultural frameworks. \n\n*El Final* (Orduna) is rooted in the intensity of pivotal moments shaped by closure. The work explores the end of a chapter as it unfolds with heightened emotion and deep nostalgia. Through climactic\, tango-like scores and orchestral textures\, the dance’s journey traces the arc of longing and finality. Impermanence is the catalyst to growth\, unveiling the possibilities within every conclusion. \n\n*Ephemeral River* (Shahpurwala) explores the joy and silly little feeling dance brings when experienced onstage. Inviting the audience into a vibrant world shaped by play and genuine enjoyment\, the piece celebrates dance as a space for freedom\, humor\, and shared pleasure. The work invites performers and audiences alike to share in the simple joy of connection and moving together.
