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:Contributions to Expected Shortfall Regression
DESCRIPTION:Expected shortfall (ES)\, defined as the average over the tail below (or above) a certain quantile of a probability distribution\, is a coherent measure to characterize the tail of a distribution in many applications\, such as finance\, environmental science\, and healthcare research. Expected shortfall regression is a framework for analyzing the relationship between the ES of a response variable and a set of covariates. As an application example\, in health disparity research\, it can uncover the relations between the lower/upper tails of the conditional distribution of a health-related outcome and covariates of the subjects. This thesis is dedicated to three statistical methodologies for expected shortfall regression.\n\nIn the first chapter\, we propose the high-dimensional expected shortfall linear regression with the lasso penalty to induce sparse estimators. We propose a debiased estimator and establish the asymptotic normality for conducting valid statistical inferences. We illustrate the finite sample performance of the proposed methods through numerical studies and a data application on health disparity. In the second chapter\, we study a novel optimization-based approach for linear expected shortfall regression\, which relaxes the assumptions made on the conditional quantile models. While the proposed loss function is implicitly defined\, we provide a prototype implementation of the proposed approach with some initial expected shortfall estimators based on binning techniques or machine learning methods. With practically feasible initial estimators\, we establish the consistency and the asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator. The proposed approach achieves heterogeneity-adaptive weights and therefore often offers efficiency gains over existing approaches in the literature\, as demonstrated through simulation studies. In the last chapter\, we further extend the framework to model the nonlinear relationship between covariates and the ES of the response\, and introduce a novel expected shortfall random forest (ESRF) framework. The proposed ESRF approach integrates subsampling and data-splitting schemes to construct a nonparametric ensemble that jointly estimates conditional quantiles and expected shortfalls. Building upon this framework\, we further develop the expected shortfall causal forest (ESCF) to estimate the conditional ES treatment effect\, defined as the difference between the conditional ES of potential outcomes. We establish the pointwise consistency and the asymptotic normality for both the ESRF and the ESCF estimators. We illustrate the finite-sample performance of the proposed methods through simulations and an empirical application examining health disparities among low-birthweight infants.\n\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/98910982237

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Designing Classroom Activities for Accessibility
DESCRIPTION:Active learning can make teaching more engaging\, provide immediate feedback on student learning\, and give students valuable opportunities to practice the skills they need to be successful. Learning experiences designed without a central consideration of accessibility\, however\, may lead to inequitable outcomes for students with disabilities. In this in-person workshop\, participants will: explore one approach (Universal Design for Learning) to promote teaching for accessibility\; practice identifying barriers to participation in order to design activities around accessibility\; and share and create ideas for how to accessibly implement different active learning opportunities. This seminar is for folks already comfortable with designing and implementing in-class activities (active learning) who want to develop a practice of reflecting and improving on these activities to provide more equitable access to students with disabilities.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Institute for Energy Solutions & Electric Vehicle Center: Understanding and Development of Sulfide-Based Solid-State Batteries
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: There is a growing interest in low-cost and scalable manufacturing and recycling methods for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this talk\, I will discuss on our recent progress in innovating materials and processing technologies for more sustainable LIBs. I will first discuss our recent work on the next generation direct recycling methods\, aiming to produce new electrode materials capable of matching the performance of native materials. By leveraging advanced characterizations\, we study the microstructure and compositional evolution of battery materials during cycling\, which are compared with the recycled materials. We demonstrate successful recycling of various battery materials to high performance active materials. Scaling up challenges will also be discussed.\n\nBio: Dr. Zheng Chen is a Professor in the Aiiso Yufeng Li Department of Chemical and Nano Engineering\, and Program of Materials Science and Engineering at UC San Diego.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Special Lecture: Expanding Equity and Efficiency: Evidence from a Stop and Frisk Disruption
DESCRIPTION:Fairness tradeoffs may appear rigid when the data used to measure them are treated as fixed. Yet\, in many settings\, today’s decisions impact the data on which tomorrow’s decisions rely. I study what that feedback implies for the tradeoff highlighted by the algorithmic fairness impossibility theorem. Focusing on policing\, I develop a model in which stops lead to arrests\, justifying more stops in certain neighborhoods. Under diminishing returns\, this selective over-enforcement inefficiently inflates arrest incidence\, lowers arrest yield (the fraction of stops resulting in arrest) and increases false-positive (FP) burden independently of latent crime levels. A policy disruption can then improve policing efficiency while expanding the full administrative fairness frontier. I study this mechanism using the sequence of political shifts that ended New York City’s stop-and-frisk program. In historically over-policed neighborhoods\, arrest and weapons yield increased sharply\, while stop-generated arrest incidence\, weapons incidence\, and FP stop incidence all fell sharply\, with no increase in reported crime. Under common true positive rates\, the implied racial FP gap narrowed as well. When institutions learn from data impacted by their own past actions\, feedback-disruptive policy can enlarge the scope for improving equity and efficiency simultaneously.\n\nProf. McMillon\, an economist and UM math alum\, will give a talk about his research and his career path. His research interests include systemic discrimination\, educational inequality\, criminal dynamics\, algorithmic fairness\, and the political economy of reparative reforms. \n\nThe talk will be followed at 4pm by a reception in the atrium.
