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:Debbie Thompson Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Debbie Thompson works predominantly in clay and draws inspiration from the natural world\, which she frequently references in her work. Her interest in ceramics began in high school when she took classes at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills\, Michigan. She later pursued her passion at the University of Michigan School of Art and Design\, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts. She also holds a Master of Arts from Eastern Michigan University and has completed post-graduate studio coursework at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, Maryland Institute College of Art\, Rhode Island School of Design\, and Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts.\n\nThompson taught visual art in the Ann Arbor Public Schools for 34 years and has also taught at the University of Michigan School of Education and Washtenaw Community College. She exhibits her work both locally and nationally and was a member of the Clay Gallery. She continues her practice in her home studio and at the Potters Guild in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. She is a member of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts and the Michigan Ceramic Art Association. Her work is included in the permanent collection of the International Dinnerware Museum.\n\nThompson’s work has been inspired by the natural world since childhood. Although she initially studied biology in college\, she later shifted her focus to visual art. The textures\, colors\, and forms in her pieces are drawn directly from nature.\nSeeds—structures that have enabled plants to move through space and time for over 600 million years—are central to her recent work. They are vital to the continuation of plant life\, and therefore to human survival.\n\nIn this exhibition\, Thompson explores the unseen structures of seeds as revealed through electron microscopy. These images highlight the intricate beauty and ingenuity of nature\, which she interprets through her wall-mounted ceramic sculptures.\n\nAt a time when our planet and its ecosystems face increasing threats\, Thompson’s work serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world. Recognizing the beauty and significance of these often-unseen forms is a crucial first step toward protecting the life systems on which we all depend.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Melissa Jones Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Jones works across multiple mediums\, consistently centering the human figure\, texture\, and elements of the natural world—such as weathered surfaces\, bones\, and rust. These recurring interests create a unifying thread throughout her work\, regardless of medium.\nShe creates in both two and three dimensions\, including sculpture\, painting\, and assemblage. Oil painting is her preferred medium\, allowing her to work slowly in layered processes and achieve a wide range of nuanced effects.\n\nJones’ work is primarily figurative\, often narrative and autobiographical—though not strictly self-portraiture. Her figures are intended to evoke emotional responses that are less commonly found in landscape or other painting genres. She draws inspiration from the visual poetry of the human form\, finding beauty in subtle details: the turn of a wrist\, the curve of a spine\, or the shadow along a collarbone. She is captivated by how light illuminates the skin and how shadow defines form\, embracing the challenge of capturing this complexity in paint. Beyond physical representation\, her work also explores psychological dimensions\, aiming to convey mood and emotional depth.\n\nHer technique\, in both painting and sculpture\, is highly detailed\, realistic\, and developed gradually over time through layered processes. At times\, her work enters the realm of magical realism. While deeply personal\, her narratives remain intentionally ambiguous\, inviting viewers to interpret the imagery through their own perspectives and experiences.\n\nBorn and raised in Detroit\, Jones studied at Wayne State University\, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Art Education and a Master’s degree in Art Therapy. She previously worked as an art educator in the West Bloomfield School District and has exhibited professionally throughout the Detroit area since 2006\, receiving numerous awards. In addition\, she served as a board member and exhibition committee member for the Detroit Artists Market.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Resistance is Fertile: Celebrating 30 Years of Cultivating Change
DESCRIPTION:Resistance Is Fertile honors the founding moment of the Institute for Research on Women & Gender\, while speaking to the present. The institute was established because faculty members believed that research on women\, gender\, and sexuality required an institutional commitment to thrive. That belief was itself a form of resistance—to disciplinary silos\, to marginalization\, to the idea that such scholarship was peripheral.\n\nThis theme reminds us that resistance is not merely reactive\; it is constructive. When rooted in collaboration and sustained through infrastructure\, it produces knowledge that reshapes disciplines\, institutions\, and public life.\n\nThis exhibit celebrates 30 years of IRWG—its history\, its programs\, and the people whose vision and labor built it into what it is today. Through archival materials\, milestones\, and stories\, we trace the evolution of an institute that has continually expanded the boundaries of research in women\, gender\, and sexuality.\n\nThis exhibit centers growth\, collaboration\, and intellectual creativity—honoring the sustained efforts\, bold ideas\, and collective care that have shaped IRWG’s legacy and continue to guide its future.\n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Peng Zhai Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:The seismic cycle\, also known as sequences of earthquakes and aseismic slip (SEAS)\, is characterized by periodic accumulation and release of tectonic stress. This multi-timescale process encompasses both rapid coseismic rupture\, which unfolds over seconds\, and prolonged interseismic deformation lasting up to thousands of years. Physics-based numerical models of the seismic cycle aim to capture SEAS within a unified framework and to enhance our understanding of earthquake generation. In this dissertation\, I employ fully dynamic seismic cycle models\, including dynamic inertial effects\, to investigate earthquake nucleation and the coupled evolution of fault slip and inelastic fault zone deformation governed by damage rheology.\n\nChapter 2 focuses on exploring the influence of the characteristic weakening distance (DRS) in rate-and-state friction (RSF) on earthquake nucleation. The findings indicate that a larger value of a/b (>0.75)\, rather than the traditionally assumed 0.5\, is needed to produce expanding crack nucleation for a relatively small DRS. This suggests that fixed-length nucleation may be more common on both natural and laboratory faults\, and therefore earthquake nucleation style is strongly governed by both a/b and DRS.\n\nChapter 3 aims to develop a novel seismic cycle model integrating RSF and damage rheology to capture the coevolution of fault slip and fault zone deformation. Simulations reveal coseismic velocity drops consistent with seismological observations and a persistent shallow slip deficit (SSD). Off-fault damage is predominantly generated during earthquakes\, concentrating at shallow depths in a flower-like structure\, characterized by a distributed damage area surrounding a localized\, highly damaged inner core. Utilizing an experimentally based logarithmic healing law\, the model shows that coseismic reductions in off-fault rigidity only partially heal\, leading to a cumulative\, permanent rigidity loss over multiple seismic cycles. Consequently\, the fault zone width and rigidity eventually stabilize\, reaching a mature state with a large cumulative fault slip.\n\nIn Chapter 4\, I apply this earthquake coevolution model to examine the role of weak fault zone deformation on the generation of multiscale seismicity. The results demonstrate that relatively weak fault zones (i.e.\, when surrounding rocks have a low internal friction coefficient) facilitate the production of both large and small earthquakes\, reproducing key earthquake scaling relations observed in nature\, such as power-law magnitude-frequency distribution\, magnitude-invariant static stress drop\, and non-linear fracture energy scaling in a unified framework. These findings highlight the fundamental role of the coevolution of earthquakes and fault zone inelastic deformation in controlling earthquake behaviors.\n\nIn conclusion\, these findings highlight the significant role that fault friction and fault zone deformation play in governing earthquake nucleation\, slip behavior\, and earthquake scaling relations. Particularly\, by capturing the coevolution of fault slip and fault zone deformation over multiple seismic cycles\, Chapters 3 and 4 underscore the fundamental importance of fault zone inelastic deformation in shaping earthquake dynamics beyond fault friction and rock elasticity. The spontaneously generated inelastic deformation dissipates elastic strain energy and acts as natural rupture barriers to modulate earthquake size. The coevolution of fault slip and fault zone inelastic deformation provides an efficient way to generate fault stress heterogeneity and a wide spectrum of earthquake size over multiple seismic cycles. These insights offer new directions for interpreting natural fault systems and assessing seismic hazards.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cosmo-Astro Seminar | Taming projection effects in EFTofLSS analysis of DESI DR1 and beyond
DESCRIPTION:The analysis of galaxy clustering measurements from surveys like Euclid or DESI is likely to be affected by the so-called projection effects\, which causes the 1D marginals of the analysis to not contain the bestfit\; this is a serious issue which can potentially harm the cosmological interpretation of these analyses. In this talk I will present a few avenues to tackle this issue\, either using simulation-calibrated priors\, a frequentist framework\, or a reparametrization approach. All of these approaches can significantly reduce the projection effects\, following different strategies. Specifically\, I will show the application of these methods to current DESI DR1 data\, and will compare the results among them and with the baseline DESI analysis\, discussing as well the prospects for DESI DR2 and Euclid future analysis.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through November 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 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (September 12 - November 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.

It is a multidisciplinary exhibition that traces her artistic evolution from high school student in Kenya to graduating college senior in the U.S. It explores personal growth through material experimentation\, identity formation\, and cultural hybridity. The work features 2-D\, 3-D\, and 4-D work\; each piece serving as a visual artifact of transformation.\n\nBecoming isn’t about arriving. It’s about highlighting the moments that get us there. The doubt\, discovery\, and growth that shape who we are. It’s a reminder to learn from the past and plan for the future\, but most importantly to live in the present. We become who we are not just through all the choices we make\, but through the people we surround ourselves with\, the information we take-in\, and what we choose to believe or question.\n\n“This exhibition is about my growth and process\, but it’s not singular. Many of my family members\, including my mother\, aren’t able to attend my graduation due to the ongoing visa ban affecting several African countries. This show is my way of honoring their presence in my life\, acknowledging where I’ve come from\, and sharing my journey with those who may not be able to witness it in person. My hope is that viewers see these works not just as a portrait of my evolution\, but as an invitation to reflect\, relate\, and reimagine their own paths of becoming.” \n-Elsa Olander\n\nBecoming: My Journey Through Stamps\nExhibition Dates: April 30 – May 22\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, April 30\, 5:30 – 8 p.m. (RSVP Recommended)\nDuderstadt Center Gallery

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Online Arabic Placement test_May 7\, 2026 (12pm-3pm EST)
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Arabic Placement TestAbout the testThe test takes approximately three hours in length\, and it is composed of three portions:a. The writing portion is completed via Zoom and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed online through Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: The interview portion will be weighted most heavily as it will be used to validate performance on the first two portions of the test. The final result/score/rating will thus be based on the student’s performance on the interview above all. Rating of performance on the writing or reading portions is secondary.How is the result calculated?Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the LSA Language Requirement.Where can I view my results? Placement results are posted within 7 business days after taking the test. You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Please note that only students who are participating in the Spring/Summer orientations are eligible to take the online placement test. If you are an existing UM student\, please sign up to take the in-person placement test that is taking place in August.* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * The test assesses students’ proficiency in Standard Arabic (fuSHa)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.* If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge in Standard Arabic (fuSHa)\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement.* Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 121\, 201\, 221\, 401\, 501 or 504 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 122\, 202\, 222\, 402\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.UM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan\, Syria\, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of Standard Arabic (fuSHa).If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the Arabic program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Methods for Causal Inference in Settings with Clustered Data Subject to Missingness and Measurement Error
DESCRIPTION:Educational programs\, healthcare policies\, and economic shocks frequently act upon intact clusters rather than isolated individuals. Evaluations of such interventions can adjust for baseline differences between clusters with matching\, then address persisting imbalances through regression adjustment. The Peters-Belson (PB)/Oaxaca-Blinder (OB) estimator fits a regression to predict outcomes individuals would have had if they were in the control condition\, and adjusts for imbalances in predicted outcomes by comparing individuals’ differences between observed and predicted outcomes.\n\nThis dissertation begins by showing that in studies that enroll or match only a small number of clusters\, the regression fit contributes non-negligibly to variability of the PB/OB estimator both across studies and across treatment allocations within studies. It makes two proposals in response: first\, incorporating auxiliary clusters—those that are not retained in the initial cluster match—into the regression fit\, and second\, defining the regression coefficients and the PB/OB estimator as M-estimators of regression. The first proposal exhibits promising gains in precision in simulations and an empirical application\, while the second exhibits improved estimation of sampling variability over variance estimators that ignore variation from the coefficient estimates\, particularly when paired with a novel jackknife-type bias correction.\n\nThe CR2 adjustment is a widely used bias correction for cluster-robust variance estimates\, but it may be computationally infeasible in studies with large clusters given existing routines’ reliance on obtaining spectral decompositions of estimated cluster-specific covariance matrices. Chapter 4 provides exact representations of CR2 that obviate this step of the computations\, reducing walltime of CR2 estimates from over a day to just over a minute in settings previously deemed too computationally burdensome.\n\nThe concluding chapter focuses on the initial cluster-level match\, proposing two propensity score (PS) estimators that balance latent confounders when only noisy measurements are available\, if they are available at all. These PS estimators improve matching feasibility and reduce the MSE of treatment effect estimators compared to propensity scores generated from a logistic regression fit to the noisy measurements.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Global Psychedelic Survey 2025
DESCRIPTION:This talk is part of the Michigan Psychedelic Center's 2026 Seminar Series: Psychedelics — From Cells to Society. Learn more about the series at michmed.org/rwYjR.\n\nBackground\nPsychedelic substances have been used for millennia among communities around the world. Understanding the diverse lived experiences of people who use psychedelics is critical to inclusively advancing psychedelic-related public policy\, harm reduction and clinical study design.\n\nMethods\nThe Global Psychedelic Survey (GPS) 2025 is an online multi-lingual cross-sectional international survey developed by over 80 academic collaborators and 40 non-government organizations. It gathered details on characteristics\, psychedelic and other substance use\, and associated self-reported outcomes among a global sample of people who use psychedelics. \n\nResults\nGPS 2025 recruited 9087 respondents (mean age: 41.8 years) from 105 countries. Most respondents had used psilocybin (87.3%)\, LSD (73.4%) and MDMA (71.9%). Personal growth was the most cited reason for use (85.7%)\, followed by recreation (61.5%)\, and general wellbeing (61.3%). We found significant regional differences in primary variables like access (e.g.\, more regulated access in Canada/USA\, online dealer access in Asia\, spiritual leader access in Central/South America)\, substances used (e.g.\, more nitrous oxide and ketamine use in Canada/USA and Oceania\, synthetic tryptamine use in Asia)\, and reasons for use (e.g.\, more use for mental and physical health in Canada/US\, boredom and productivity in Asia).\n\nDiscussion\nGPS 2025 extends our understanding of global psychedelic use\, revealing a complex and heterogeneous global community that spans continents\, languages\, and traditions. Continued efforts to integrate community-based evidence with clinical research and international policy development will be essential to optimize the potential personal\, public health and therapeutic benefits of psychedelics\, while minimizing associated risks and harms.\n\nSpeaker\nPhilippe Lucas\, PhD\, is a cannabis and psychedelic researcher and a lifelong safe access advocate. In 1999\, Philippe founded the Vancouver Island Compassion Society\, one of Canada’s first medical cannabis dispensaries\, and he was founding Board Chair of the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies Canada. Following a term on Victoria’s City Council\, he worked as VP\, Global Patient Research & Access at Tilray\, where he oversaw a comprehensive international clinical and observational cannabis research program. Currently\, he is Director\, Research & Safe Access at MAPS\, and a Research Affiliate at the University of Michigan’s Psychedelic Center\, and his studies include the Global Psychedelic Survey 2023/25.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:America at 250\, with Special Emphasis on the Proposition that All Men are Created Equal
DESCRIPTION:Two-hundred and fifty years ago\, America famously proclaimed that “all men are created equal.” That same year\, Pennsylvanians led by Benjamin Franklin declared that “all men are born equally free and independent.” This year\, Americans are once again discussing issues of creational equality and birth equality—this time in the context of a great debate over the meaning of birthright citizenship. How will the Supreme Court decide this issue? How should it decide? What would Lincoln have thought about the current debate? Yale Law School Professor Akhil Reed Amar will examine these and related questions through the lens of his recent book\,  Born Equal: Remaking America's Constitution\, 1840–1920.
