SUMMARY:Exhibition:2026 Second Year Studio Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAugust 24 - October 18\, 2026\nExhibition Reception: October 1\, 1-2:30 p.m.\n\nIn their second year\, Stamps students complete a major milestone: Second Year Studio (SYS). It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice. At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review and receive direct feedback from a panel of Stamps faculty members. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \n\nThe works in this year’s exhibition engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\n–Sally Clegg\, Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator & Pedram Baldari\, Assistant Professor\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n<ul class=\"twocol\">\n\nNailah Aguilar\n\nAkylah Archer\n\nZachary Berenbaum\n\nSamantha Blaine\n\nLauren Boyce\n\nKas Brajkovic\n\nAnna Browne\n\nLilah Chow\n\nIsabella Cortes\n\nMagdalena Dimovski\n\nLeah Elliott\n\nAya Fadlelzebair\n\nM.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CCPS Photo Exhibition. This is the Place
DESCRIPTION:There are nearly one million refugees currently living in Poland. While the vast majority arrived from Ukraine\, Poland has also welcomed forcibly displaced people from Central Asia\, Latin America\, Africa\, and the Middle East. While refugees may be different\, they all search for a place that reminds them of home.\nIn *This Is The Place*\, a project supported by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)\, Anna Liminowicz asked refugees to show what\, in Poland\, reminds them of their home. These portraits and the personalized confessions her subjects handwrote in their native languages tell poignant stories about safety and hope.\nAnna Liminowicz is an award-winning photographer and reportage journalist based in Warsaw\, Poland. A frequent contributor to the *The New York Times*\, *The Guardian*\, *The Wall Street Journal*\, *The Washington Post*\, *El Pais*\, *Der Spiegel* and UNHCR\, Liminowicz divides her time  between assignments and long-term personal projects\, mainly focusing on social issues like identity and loss\, and what uplifts her subjects. She has covered the war in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees in Poland since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion\, and received the 2022 Grand Press Photo Award for her project “Too Precious to Leave Behind”.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. The Art of Memory\, Paintings by Felix Lembersky
DESCRIPTION:Felix Lembersky (1913-1970) was a painter\, theater stage designer\, teacher\, and leader of artistic groups. He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar\, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons\, these paintings\, along with his later nonconformist work\, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars\, the 1917 revolution\, and political terror\, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable\, neglected\, and marginalized people: children\, the elderly\, ethnic minorities\, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances\, Lembersky  portrayed his subjects with empathy\, dignity\, and admiration.  \n\n“For my father\, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom\, individuality\, and personalized creativity\, without which it ceased to be art.”\n— Galina Lembersky\, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky\, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky\, and Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ballad for Rodney
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for the Humanities’ presentation of Cosmo Whyte’s* Ballad for Rodney* (2024) is organized as part of Whyte’s upcoming solo exhibition at the Stamps Gallery entitled *Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye*.\n\nThis “curtain painting” operates simultaneously as painting and sculpture\, inviting the viewer to physically engage with the surface\, passing through to another layer underneath. Named in reference to Rodney King\, the African American man who was a victim of police brutality in LA in 1991\, the kinetic artwork intends to bring into question the relationship between the body and the artwork. Through direct engagement with image and materiality\, it shifts one’s idea of an archive from a static memory to a lived embodied experience.\n\nAbout the artist\nCosmo Whyte (b. 1982\, St. Andrew\, Jamaica) is an interdisciplinary artist who employs drawing\, installation\, and sculpture to create conceptual work exploring interstitial subjectivity through an engagement with both intimate and public archives\, as well as Black spatiality and forms of resistance. He received his MFA from the University of Michigan. In 2022\, he joined the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture as an assistant professor.\n\n\nWhyte’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally\, including at MOCA Georgia\, Atlanta\, GA\; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago\, IL\; The High Museum of Art\, Atlanta\, GA\; The Drawing Center\, New York\, NY\; Atlanta Contemporary\, Atlanta\, GA\; Centre Georges Pompidou\, Paris\, France\; and the National Gallery of Jamaica\, Kingston\, Jamaica\, among others. His work is in public museum collections including the High Museum\, Atlanta\, GA\; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago\, IL\; International African American Museum\, Charlotte\, NC\; MOCA Georgia\, Atlanta\, GA\; National Gallery of Jamaica\; Pérez Art Museum Miami\, among others. Whyte lives and works between Montego Bay\, Jamaica and Los Angeles\, CA.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Robots\, Galaxies\, and Dark Energy: The DESI Story (So Far)
DESCRIPTION:The standard cosmological model\, Lambda-CDM\, provides a remarkably successful description of the universe\, yet the physical nature of dark energy remains unknown. Is it a cosmological constant\, or does it evolve with cosmic time? The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) was built to address this question by obtaining spectra of millions of galaxies and quasars and constructing an unprecedented three-dimensional map of the universe. In this colloquium\, I will tell the story of how DESI became one of the world’s most productive instruments for cosmology. At its heart are 5\,000 robotic fiber positioners\, built at the University of Michigan\, that allow DESI to observe thousands of objects simultaneously. I will tell the story of how an ambitious idea became a working instrument - from construction at Michigan through integration and installation to survey operations at Kitt Peak. Along the way\, DESI faced a global pandemic\, a wildfire that threatened the observatory\, and other unexpected challenges of operating a complex instrument on a mountaintop. Despite these obstacles\, it reached its survey goals ahead of schedule and within budget. I will discuss what made that success possible\, place DESI’s emerging cosmological results in context\, and conclude with the scientific opportunities ahead.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Stability\, Approximation\, and Robustness of Optimal Policies in POMDPs
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will focus on the stability\, approximation\, and robustness of optimal policies in partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) under discounted and average cost criteria.\n\nI will begin with filter kernel perturbation under model change. I will establish how small perturbations in the transition or observation kernels lead to explicit\, nonasymptotic bounds on both the filter kernel and the performance of the induced policies. A primary result demonstrates that an optimal policy computed under an incorrect model remains near optimal for the true model\, with quantitatively bounded errors.\n\nBuilding on these stability concepts\, I will then talk about the average cost setting and describe conditions under which the nonlinear filter exhibits a contraction property. Under these conditions\, the vanishing discounted approach yields a solution to the average cost optimality equation\, guaranteeing the existence of a stationary optimal policy. Furthermore\, this provides explicit bounds that quantify the influence of initial prior distribution errors and model errors on long run performance.\n\nFinally\, I will present results on implementable approximations. I will introduce refined error bounds for finite window controllers and conclude by discussing how Q learning can be utilized through either finite window or the quantization of the belief process to obtain near optimal policies for both discounted and average cost criteria.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The State and the Soldier: A History of Civil-Military Relations in the United States
DESCRIPTION:America's Founding Fathers feared that a standing army would be a permanent political danger\, yet the U.S. military has in the 250 years since become a bulwark of democracy. Kori Schake explains why in this compelling history of civil-military relations from independence to the challenges of the present. Can the United States’ admirable record be sustained when the public is pulling the military into the political divisions of our time?\n   \nWebinar Link: https://myumi.ch/d8kN8\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at emergingdemocracies@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Exploring the Mind | Who Do You Trust? Trust at the Personal\, Community\, and Society Level
DESCRIPTION:Who do you trust? More people than you think. We know about trust among those in our closest relationships\, such as friends and family\, but we also trust strangers every day in transient relationships on a frequent basis\, as well as major institutions that govern our lives across our lifetime. Trust is the oxygen of social life and has tremendous implications. Marriages succeed or fail based on trust. A country’s health depends on trust in medicine and science\, and it prospers when their citizens don’t view each other with cynicism. In this talk\, I focus\, though\, on a vexing paradox about trust: Despite trust being essential for social life to thrive—try to have a relationship or run a civilization without it—powerful behavioral theories consider it irrational behavior\, and you should never do it. I discuss what research trying to resolve this paradox reveals about the ways the human species manages this multifaceted challenge of trusting each other\, allowing life to avoid being nasty\, brutish\, or short.\n\nAbout the speaker: David Dunning is Mary Ann and Charles R. Walgreen\, Jr.\, Professor of the Study of Human Understanding\, and Professor of Psychology\, at the University of Michigan. He received a Ph.D. from Stanford and his BA from Michigan State\, both in psychology. His expertise is in experimental social psychology\, focusing on the psychological processes underlying self-misbelief and social misunderstanding\, with applications to economics\, medicine\, organizations\, and the law. His most cited work\, supported over the years by the National Institute of Mental Health\, National Science Foundation\, and the John F. Templeton Foundation\, shows that people typically hold flattering self-opinions that cannot be justified from the objective evidence. He has written short pieces for more general audiences in Scientific American and the New York Times and appeared in the final episode of Adam Ruins Everything. With Justin Kruger\, he received the Grawemeyer Award in Psychology and the Society of Experimental Psychology Scientific Impact Award in 2023. In 2025\, he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts & Sciences.
