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:Lecture / Discussion:Guest Lecture: Tina Lüdecke
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lüdecke is a research group leader at Max Planck Institute for Chemistry. She investigates early hominin diets and their ecological context\, with a focus on the onset and evolution of meat consumption and the position of Plio-Pleistocene hominins in African paleo–food webs\, using stable isotopes in tooth enamel. She also reconstructs Neogene paleolandscapes inhabited by early hominins\, examining C4 grassland expansion in relation to changes in seasonality\, precipitation\, temperature\, atmospheric pCO₂\, and tree cover.\n\nHer work combines extensive field research with geochemical approaches — stable isotopes of carbon\, oxygen\, nitrogen\, and zinc\, clumped isotopes\, and multi-element analyses — applied to fossil tooth enamel\, pedogenic carbonates\, and other proxy materials. Her research areas span the Miocene to Pleistocene in eastern and southern Africa\, including early hominin sites of the Afar Depression (Ethiopia)\, Manyara Basin (Tanzania)\, Karonga Basin (Malawi)\, Urema Basin (Mozambique)\, and the Cradle of Humankind (South Africa). Dr. Lüdecke also works on younger\, out-of-Africa localities including Oman\, Indonesia\, Mexico\, and Turkey.\n\nHer goal is to link early hominin dietary adaptations to ecosystem change\, assess the significance of animal resource consumption\, and evaluate the role of dietary flexibility in extinction and adaptive radiation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 3): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through December 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Southeast Michigan-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 11 - December 11) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 3 \n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Abhishek Narula (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Nathan Byrne (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nAbhishek Narula\, Compressions \nCompressions is an installation comprised of 416 industrial-grade zip ties\, cinched around the entry pillar of the Stamps Gallery. The pillar measures roughly 110 inches in circumference\, requiring two ties per row to wrap around it\, resulting in 208 rows. The humble zip tie\, typically used to hang and bind other material\, is relegated to its functional properties rendering it unprepossessing and easily dismissed. The zip tie in this installation\, instead serves as an object of aesthetic possibility\, pulling it out of its usual background role to become the work itself. The resulting composition is a proposal to dwell\, to slow down\, and to simply see the pillar.\n\nAbhishek Narula is an artist\, designer\, and educator who works across sculpture\, installation\, sound\, and video. His practice takes the form of interventions\, working with what is already present. He reorients and disrupts objects and sites in order to open up formal possibilities and poetic experiences within the familiar. He is influenced by physical and digital infrastructural systems that sustain modern life and culture. His work treats this ambience itself as raw material for aesthetic inquiry\, exploring themes of labor\, precarity\, temporality and the sublime. Narula earned his MFA in Studio Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and his MS/BS in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His work has been exhibited at national and international venues such as the Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology\, Science Gallery Detroit\, Speculum Artium Media Festival in Slovenia\, New Media Caucus (NMC)\, WaveFarm\, The Boulder Public Library\, The Hyde Park Art Center\, Sector 2337 Art Gallery & Printing Press\, Tangible Embedded Interaction (TEI)\, International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA)\, among others. He is a Robotics Systems Designer and Lecturer in the Robotics Department at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\nNathan Byrne\, Equally To Be Loved\nEqually To Be Loved is an image / object scaled to and installed upon the courtyard pillar of Stamps Gallery. The image is of a spontaneous sculpture made in 2017 during the first day of an artist residency at the Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program. The sculpture was constructed in a storage container studio using 14 discrete objects that were in his studio upon entry. For Byrne\, this work embodies the energy and spirit of a studio at the start of a particularly fecund period of making. This work speaks to the artist’s interest in embodied experience of space\, archival and site responsiveness\, as well as his ongoing engagement with found materials. Byrne considers this project to be a far-flung sequel to his MFA thesis exhibition Equally Empty\, which was shown at Stamps Gallery in 2021. Equally To Be Loved is the second line of the Buddhist mantra from which both titles are derived.\n\nNathan Byrne is an artist / educator / curator currently based in Detroit\, MI. Through spatial and archive responsive projects\, he reimagines\, and explores within frameworks such as language\, the passage of time\, and contemplation. Intrigued by the potential of conveying phenomenal\, transformative\, and emotive states through materiality\, process\, and placement\, he negotiates the pliability of the viewer’s encounters with objects and environments. Byrne holds an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and a BA in Studio Art and Art History from San Francisco State University. He has been a Lecturer at Stamps School of Art & Design since the Fall of 2022. His work is exhibited widely nationally and he is a recipient of the VSC Fellowship at Vermont Studio Center. He has been awarded numerous artist residencies including Anderson Ranch Arts Center\, I-Park\, KHN Center for the Arts\, Prairie Ronde\, Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program\, and Rockland Woods.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Great Lakes Seminar Series: Dr. Lauren N Stigers
DESCRIPTION:About the presentation: Aquaculture now supplies most of the world’s seafood (57%)\, yet the U.S. remains heavily reliant on imports\, producing only 11% of its seafood through aquaculture and carrying a $24.2 billion seafood trade deficit (FAO 2024\; NMFS 2024). Freshwater aquaculture—primarily catfish\, crawfish\, and trout—generated $872 million in 2022\, and recent analysis shows U.S. aquaculture contributes $4 billion annually in production with several‑fold broader economic impacts (Kumar et al. 2024). Despite this national significance\, aquaculture for food remains underdeveloped in the Great Lakes region\, where research and management have long centered on recreational fisheries.\n\nThis seminar will connect national and regional perspectives on U.S. aquaculture growth. Mrs. Kristine Cherry (Chief\, Regulatory and Policy Branch\, Office of Aquaculture\, NOAA Fisheries) will provide a brief overview of the direction U.S. aquaculture has taken in recent years\, describing new policy initiatives and research investments that are working to foster sustainable U.S. aquaculture development at the national level. Dr. Stigers will present on several key initiatives that have been fundamental for supporting aquaculture in the Great Lakes region. Her initiatives include many collaborative projects focusing mainly on Great Lakes’ (1) governance and sustainability of seafood systems\, and (2) consumer education and aquaculture literacy.\n\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Lauren Stigers is a Michigan Sea Grant Extension Educator based in the Houghton–Hancock area of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. She specializes in aquaculture\, commercial fisheries\, seafood processing\, and science‑based outreach\, connecting industry needs with research\, education\, and community priorities. With a background spanning applied research\, workforce development\, and policy communication\, Dr. Stigers leads collaborative initiatives that strengthen Great Lakes seafood systems\, support working waterfronts\, and advance sustainable aquaculture across Michigan.\n\nFollowing the seminar\, please join us for a Great Lakes Seafood Tasting. Experience Michigan fresh fish from local producers and gain insights through first hand interactions with industry professionals. Please be aware of allergies when signing up for the seafood tasting.\n\nSpace is limited\, so RSVP today!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Who Counts? A History of Voting in America”
DESCRIPTION:Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted\, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth\, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes\, campaign pins and ribbons\, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets\, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit\, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting\, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Regge’s Inferno
DESCRIPTION:We study large-spin operators in conformal field theories (CFTs) in spacetime dimensions d>2 by placing the theory on appropriate pp-wave backgrounds. We show that these geometries admit Heisenberg-group symmetries\, and that these symmetries\, combined with locality of quantum fields on such spacetimes\, impose strong constraints on the asymptotic spectrum in the large-spin limit. The pp-wave backgrounds probe both the small-twist regime\, corresponding to the Regge or light-cone bootstrap\, and a strongly coupled regime of large twist. Finally\, we demonstrate that causality (or the requirement that the energy be bounded from below) leads to a new unitarity bound in 3+1dimensions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS 2026 Fall Colloquium Series | Projecting Power: Film Diplomacy and the Making of the Turkey-US Alliance
DESCRIPTION:How do states project power beyond military cooperation? This talk examines the role of educational films\, institutional networks\, and audiovisual media in shaping the US–Turkey alliance before and during the Cold War. Drawing on *Film Diplomacy: A Media History of Turkey–US Relations *(Columbia University Press\, 2026)\, Etem argues that film was central to the projection of power through international alliances and institution building. Bringing together archival research from Turkey and the United States\, the talk traces how governments\, universities\, philanthropic foundations\, and international organizations collaborated to produce\, circulate\, and exhibit films that supported political\, educational\, and developmental agendas. By examining film as a technology of governance\, the talk offers a new perspective on how media shaped international relations and the making of Cold War alliances in the Middle East.\n\nAyşehan Jülide Etem is Assistant Professor of Media Studies and Director of the Film Studies concentration at the University of Virginia. She is a media historian and documentary film scholar whose research examines how media infrastructures and cultural institutions shape international relations\, public life\, and systems of power. Her work focuses on global film cultures\, public diplomacy\, documentary\, and the politics of media. She is the author of *Film Diplomacy: A Media History of Turkey–US Relations* (Columbia University Press\, 2026)\, which identifies and examines how institutional networks\, educational films and audiovisual media helped construct the US–Turkey alliance before and during the Cold War. Her current research investigates documentary film and gun violence\, as well as the history of population control films and reproductive governance. Her work has appeared in journals including *Communication\, Culture & Critique*\, *Global Perspectives*\, the *Historical Journal of Film\, Radio and Television*\, the* Journal of e-Media Studies*\, and *NECSUS: European Journal of Media Studies*\, and is forthcoming in Film History.\n\nJoin on Zoom: https://myumi.ch/8Jqy2\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. Contact: warsansa@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Special HEP-Astro Seminar | Search for Dark Matter Interactions at High Recoil Energy with the LUX-ZEPLIN Experiment
DESCRIPTION:The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber designed to search for dark matter interactions with unprecedented sensitivity. While conventional WIMP searches focus primarily on low-energy nuclear recoils\, a broader class of dark matter  models can produce significant signals at much higher recoil energies. In a new search using 2.84 tonne-years of LZ exposure\, we extend the nuclear-recoil energy window to approximately 270 keV to probe momentum- and velocity-dependent interactions described by non-relativistic effective field theory\, as well as inelastic dark matter models. The search observes one event in a region of low expected background\, consistent with a 248 +/- 23 (stat) +/- 23 (sys) keVnr nuclear recoil. I will describe the motivation\, methodology\, and results of this extended-energy search\, including the investigation of the high-energy event and possible background interpretations. I will also highlight work carried out at the University of Michigan that helped enable the extension to high recoil energies\, particularly the calibration and detector-response modeling of electronic and nuclear recoils\, together with studies of backgrounds relevant to the expanded search region.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Xcimer’s Approach to Inertial Fusion Energy
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nXcimer Energy Corporation is developing a new generation of large‑scale\, high‑efficiency excimer laser systems designed to enable practical inertial fusion energy. This talk will outline the physics and engineering foundations of high‑energy KrF laser architectures and their advantages for coupling energy to direct‑drive fusion targets. This presentation will describe Xcimer’s integrated roadmap for de‑risking and scaling the technology. These strategies include the Phoenix program to demonstrate and validate gas optics performance\; Anvil\, Xcimer’s first dedicated target‑shooter facility to derisk two beam implosion\; and Vulcan\, a 4‑MJ‑class laser system intended to demonstrate fusion breakeven. The seminar will also introduce Athena\, a conceptual fusion pilot plant featuring a liquid first wall designed for a 40‑year lifetime and compatible with high‑repetition‑rate operation. Together\, these developments form a coherent pathway towards high‑gain direct‑drive targets and commercially relevant fusion energy systems. The talk will highlight the system‑level considerations that motivate excimer technology\, the target‑design implications of higher available laser energy\, and the engineering concessions required for a viable fusion power plant.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nAlison Christopherson is the Head of Target Design at Xcimer Energy Corp. where she leads the development of high‑gain direct‑drive targets for next‑generation excimer‑laser–driven inertial fusion energy systems. She earned her B.S. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Michigan and her Ph.D. from the University of Rochester\, specializing in direct‑drive inertial confinement fusion. Her doctoral work advanced understanding of alpha particle heating and ignition\, earning her the Rosenbluth Award for excellence in plasma physics. She went on to serve as a staff scientist in the Inertial Confinement Fusion program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory during the period when ignition was first achieved. Her experience at LLNL reinforced a key conclusion: solid‑state laser architectures face fundamental scaling limits for the energy levels required to produce robust\, high‑gain targets and to accommodate the engineering concessions of a fusion power plant. Motivated by the promise of gas‑optics–based excimer technology\, she joined Xcimer to lead its target design program and shape the physics basis for the company’s fusion roadmap.\n\nThe seminar will be conducted in person\, with livestream on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Positive cycles on Hilbert schemes of points
DESCRIPTION:Algebraic geometers are often interested in certain “positive” cones that one can associate to varieties\, such as the nef and effective cones. While traditionally studied in the divisor and curves cases\, cones of cycles of intermediate dimension have recently been the subject of much study. We discuss some results on nef and effective cones of intermediate dimension cycles in the case of Hilbert schemes of points. In particular\, we look at the Hilbert scheme of 3 points in $\mathbb{P}^3$. Our computation generalizes results of Ryan & Stathis and requires a careful analysis of the PGL orbits in the Hilbert scheme\, as well as a new basis of the Chow ring inspired by Mallavibarrena and Sols.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Democracy Against Workers?
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Link: https://myumi.ch/ww7q9\n\nCanonical models of democracy expect working-class people to be the main beneficiaries -- even the natural beneficiaries -- of democratization. Yet not all democratic systems deliver economic gains to average citizens. Even after they gain the right to vote\, very rarely do they become candidates for office and get to serve as the people's representatives. When is \"democracy against workers\" and how might we make it work better for working people? In this Democracy Week roundtable\, Nick Carnes\, Adam Dean\, and Noam Lupu discuss their book projects on these themes\, with Ann Heffernan serving as respondent.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at emergingdemocracies@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Optimal Contract\, Delegated Investment\, and Information Acquisition
DESCRIPTION:We study a model of delegated investment within a noisy rational expectations equilibrium framework. Portfolio managers can acquire costly private information about asset payoffs but incur portfolio management costs\, and are compensated by investors to make investment decisions on their behalf. We show that the optimal contract features a benchmark component that mitigates the agency frictions arising from portfolio management costs. The precision of managers' private information is determined endogenously in market equilibrium\, with private and public information acting as substitutes. As portfolio management costs increase\, both the performance-based and benchmark components of the optimal contract become more sensitive to investment outcomes\, while fewer private signals are incorporated into prices\, reducing market informational efficiency. We further show that when a social planner places sufficient weight on the welfare of direct investors and liquidity providers\, the socially optimal equilibrium achieves greater price informational efficiency than the decentralized equilibrium. The talk will focus on the interaction between optimal contracting\, information acquisition\, and market efficiency\, together with the economic intuition underlying these results.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probability and Analysis Seminar: Non-abelian Hirota–Miwa Equations for the KPZ Universality Class
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The KPZ universality class is a broad collection of mathematical and physical models linked through their shared universal scaling behavior. A privileged subset\, known as exactly solvable models\, possess algebraic structure that allows for exact formulas for their probability distributions.\n\nFor an even smaller subset of these models\, their distributions have been shown to satisfy nonlinear equations from classical integrable systems\, including Painlevé\, KP\, and Toda equations. Why should equations from soliton theory appear in random growth\, and why do they keep reappearing across different models?\n\nI will describe a framework that gives a common algebraic explanation and extends this connection to eighteen exactly solvable models. The framework organizes the Fredholm determinant formulas of solvable KPZ models into an overdetermined linear problem whose compatibility conditions reveal a discrete integrable structure gauge equivalent to the non-abelian Hirota–Miwa equation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SAPAC GROWE: Engendering Respectful Communities Workshops - SY26 - 27
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 GROWE 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:Lecture / Discussion:Shakespearean Studies Hodgdon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:What pointers can contemporary writers take from one of the world’s master story tellers?\n\nShakespeare professor and bestselling novelist\, AJ Hartley\, explores the overlap in genre interests between the sixteenth/seventeenth century and our own period\, using examples from Shakespeare’s work to find inspiration and instruction for the contemporary writer. We will consider various narrative elements including plotting\, pacing\, character creation\, and the writing of dialogue. Most importantly\, we will discuss the categories of genre writing and literary fiction to see where the distinction between the two can be productively deconstructed.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nAndrew James Hartley is Emeritus professor in UNC Charlotte’s Department of Theatre in which he served as the Russell Robinson Distinguished Professor of Shakespeare studies\, specializing in performance theory and practice. In addition to teaching Shakespeare related classes\, he also taught creative writing courses for the English department. Also writing as AJ Hartley\, he is the award winning and bestselling writer of 27 mystery/thriller\, fantasy\, historical fiction\, and young adult novels. Though primarily a solo novelist\, he has collaborated with his family (HIDEKI SMITH)\, David Hewson (adaptations of HAMLET and MACBETH) and Blink-182 frontman Tom Delonge (SEKRET MACHINES\, TRINITY etc.).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2026 Dr. Berj H. Haidostian Annual Distinguished Lecture | Poetry\, Traumatic History\, Memory: Thinking about the Armenian Genocide
DESCRIPTION:How can a past historical event be transformed by literature that comes after? Pulitzer Prize winning poet Peter Balakian will discuss the impact of the Armenian Genocide on his work. He will explore the transmission of trauma across generations and how poetry’s resources can ingest the past. Balakian examines how his ancestors have provided a grounding for his work\, ancestors like  his great-great uncle\, Krikoris Balakian (Bishop in the Armenian Church)\, one of the 250 cultural leaders arrested on April 24\, 1915\, and his grandmother\, Nafina Shekerlemdjian who along with her two young daughters survived the Genocide enduring a harrowing death march into the Syrian desert.\n\nPeter Balakian is an award winning poet\, author and translator. His *Ozone Journal* was awarded the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for poetry. Most recently he has published a  book of poems\, *New York Trilogy* (2025)\, that moves between decades of tumultuous life in New York City and the politics of the Middle East. Balakian’s poems have appeared widely in leading magazines and journals including\, *The New Yorker: 100 Years of Poetry*.  His prose books range from *Vice and Shadow: Essays on the Lyric Imagination*\, poetry\, art and culture\, to *Black Dog of Fate: A Memoir*\, — winner of the 1998 PEN/Martha Albrand Prize for the Art of the Memoir (a best book of the year for the New York Times\, the LA Times\, and Publisher’s Weekly). Balakian is the recipient of many awards and prizes amongst them: the Pulitzer Prize\, The Presidential Medal and the Movses Khorenatsi Medal from the Republic of Armenia\,  a Guggenheim Fellowship\,  and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship.  He is the Rebar Professor of the Humanities\, Professor of English at Colgate University.\n\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/99080532632\n\nCosponsors: Center for Middle Eastern & North African Studies\, Department of Middle East Studies\, Department of English Language and Literature\, Residential College\, and National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR)\n\n–––––\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dean Johnson
DESCRIPTION:“Johnson draws from the same well as John Prine or Tom Waits\, filtering the light of daily life through the grimy windows of a barroom” –Paste Magazine\n\nWith I Hope We Can Still Be Friends\, his debut for Saddle Creek\, Dean Johnson makes a pact with the listener: He will sing you his truth in the most heartfelt and charming way possible\, if you promise to keep an open mind.\n\nJohnson spent years tending bar at Al’s Tavern in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood. There\, he encountered folks of all stripes\; and regulars enthusiastically murmured about his budding musical greatness — There’s the best songwriter in town! Johnson was a kind of local lore\, a long-held family secret\, before the singer finally broke out in 2023 with his debut album\, Nothing For Me Please\, at age 50.\n\nI Hope We Can Still Be Friends is essentially an anthology that bridges Johnson’s earliest days as a songwriter with his present-day outlook and abilities. There are songs that have been in his setlists for years\, and others that will be new to fans. Each of its 11 tracks contains jocular social commentary or lovingly rendered affairs of the heart. \n\nLike John Prine or Kris Kristofferson’s country-adjacent sound\, devastating humor and economical profundity refracted through a barroom’s haze\, the album is filled with easygoing twang\, sad characters\, universal truths and the absurdity of everyday life.
