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:146980-21900167@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:20260403T180051 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260414T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260414T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

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.

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.

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.

In this paper\, I quantitatively study the macroeconomic implications of lock-in innovations for aggregate productivity and market power. I develop a theoretical framework that allows firms to invest in lock-in innovations by reducing product substitutability\, while also nesting standard macroeconomic models of productive innovations. A key prediction of the model is that productive innovations by suppliers increase customer firms’ sales by lowering input costs\, while lock-in innovations decrease customer firms' sales by allowing suppliers to charge higher prices for products that are harder to substitute. I use this theoretical insight to identify the nature of innovation in the data and calibrate the model to the U.S. economy. Informed by the observed changes in the response of customer firms' sales to their suppliers' innovations\, I find that the incidence of lock-in innovations among high-markup firms has increased significantly in the post-2000 period. Moreover\, had the incidence of lock-in innovations remained at pre-2000 levels\, observed aggregate productivity would have been 3% higher\, median markups would have stayed at pre-2000 levels\, and markup dispersion would have been 9% lower.

The hope of new life and a bright future. But for some families\, that hope is shattered when they learn that their baby has a life-limiting condition and may die shortly after birth. How do clinicians care for families in these moments? How do we offer comfort\, presence\, and guidance when medicine cannot offer a cure? Please join us for a conversation with Dr. Emily Morris and Dr. Luke Gatta of Vanderbilt University Medical Center\, who will discuss the development of Vanderbilt’s perinatal hospice program and what shared decision-making looks like for families facing these diagnoses. Drawing from his clinical work and ethics training\, Dr. Gatta will explore how interdisciplinary teams support parents through complex decisions while honoring their values\, hopes\, and love for their child.\nDr. Gatta is an Assistant Professor in Maternal-Fetal Medicine\, having done his Ob/Gyn residency and MFM fellowship at Duke\; Dr. Morris is an Assistant Professor in Neonatology\, having done her Pediatrics residency at University of Michigan and Neonatology fellowship at Vanderbilt.

In each case\, a graphical model encodes the structural assumptions through conditional independence and factorization\, but inference over the resulting distributional objects demands tools that are stable under the geometric irregularities — limited overlap\, high dimensionality\, unknown model complexity — that arise in practice. This thesis develops a distributional framework that pairs graphical model structure with optimal transport geometry to address this need. We apply the framework to causal inference under limited overlap\, replacing density-ratio reweighting with geometrically stable transport maps and developing Wasserstein-based sensitivity analysis for partial identification\; to structured generative modeling\, introducing Structured Flow Autoencoders that combine conditional normalizing flows with latent graphical models via a novel flow matching objective\; and to mixture model estimation\, where Bayes fixed-point iteration and entropy-regularized semi-discrete optimal transport yield a geometry-driven approach to component recovery and model selection. Across all settings\, the thesis demonstrates that replacing pointwise inference procedures with distributional\, geometry-aware ones — anchored by graphical model structure — yields methods that are simultaneously more principled and more practically reliable.

Over the past several decades\, this classical notion has evolved into a rich and far-reaching theory. In a foundational 1994 work\, Lusztig extended total positivity to arbitrary split real reductive groups and their flag varieties\, uncovering remarkable connections with combinatorics\, geometry\, and representation theory. Since then\, total positivity has emerged in a wide range of contexts\, from cluster algebras and higher Teichmüller theory to the geometry\nunderlying the amplituhedron.\n\nIn this talk\, I will give an overview of the basic theory of total positivity and describe some recent developments. I will explain how the subject is intertwined with combinatorial structures such as Bruhat order and shellable posets\, with representation theory through Lusztig's canonical basis\, and with topology through the study of regular CW complexes and with an unexpected appearance of the Poincaré econjecture. I will also discuss recent progress on the conjectures of Björner\, of Fomin-Zelevinsky\, as well as further conjectures of Postnikov\, Galashin-Karp-Lam\, and Williams. This talk is based on my joint works with Huanchen Bao and with Kaitao Xie.

My group’s work aims to discover proteins critical for pathogen survival\, to reveal important insights into their mechanisms of action\, and to develop chemical tools that precisely modulate their functions. By focusing on pathogens with limited or unique metabolic capabilities\, we aim to reveal novel biomarkers and antibiotic targets that are less likely to evade inhibitors. This talk will describe our multipronged approach that employs metabolomics\, protein biochemistry\, biophysics\, and data science to accelerate the proteome-wide discovery of critical metabolite handling proteins in human pathogens. Furthermore\, ongoing efforts to identify effective narrow-spectrum anti-infectives will be described.
