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:Down in Ann Arbor Town: Pictorial Maps\, Campus Traditions\, and the Women Who Made Them
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the centennial of the iconic 1926 “Down in Ann Arbor Town” map by exploring the colorful history\, campus traditions\, and detailed artistry that made it possible. Created by Jessie Horton Koessler (Class of 1901) to help fund the Michigan League building for women\, this celebrated map provides a fascinating view into 1920s campus life and the women who shaped it. Through three distinct exhibit sections\, journey from the campus history that led to the map’s creation to a broader look at early 20th-century pictorial mapmaking.\n\nWhile enjoying the exhibit\, pick up a scavenger hunt at the Clark Library desk that will inspire you to notice whimsical details in the maps discussed. Return your scavenger hunt at the desk for a small prize\, while supplies last.\n\nJoin the curators — Ava Pustulka (’28) and Anna Rohl\, map curator at Clark Library — for a presentation on September 24 (https://myumi.ch/X8y3r)\, where they will share the research that went into creating the exhibit.

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: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: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:Workshop / Seminar:Network Complementarities in Maritime Trade Infrastructure: Evidence from the Philippines
DESCRIPTION:This paper tests for network complementarities in port infrastructure by examining whether Roll-On Roll-Off (RORO) upgrades at Fillipino ports generate bilateral trade gains beyond the sum of individual port effects. Using port-to-port commodity flow data\, I find that routes where both ports have RORO trade 23% more than predicted by the individual effects alone. I also propose an interaction event study to investigate the dynamic effects and find evidence that these effects show zero pretrends and have positive dynamic effects. I embed these estimates in an Eaton-Kortum model with island geography and show that complementarity generates a superadditivity premium\, implying coordinated port investments dominate sequential upgrades.

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:Conference / Symposium:For Thee and All the World to See: May 18 Gwangju and the Visual Tenacities of South Korean Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nPresented as part of the University of Michigan’s Democracy Week\, this symposium explores the enduring legacy of the May 18\, 1980 Gwangju Democratization Movement and the role of visual media in shaping South Korea’s democratic consciousness. Organized in conjunction with an exhibition of 90 curated images from the Gwangju 5·18 Archives on campus\, the event bridges historical analysis with living memory. Survivors and eyewitnesses will share their reflections alongside scholars to examine how images and personal testimony break through censorship and serve as vital tools for historical justice—connecting Gwangju’s struggle to global conversations on human rights.\n\nThis event is organized by Nam Center for Korean Studies and co-sponsored by the May 18 Archives\, Center for Democracy & Civic Empowerment\, Department of Political Science\, Center for Emerging Democracies\, the Donia Human Rights Center\, and Asia Library.\n\nOfficial event poster: https://myumi.ch/G7Ge1\n\nParking information: https://myumi.ch/WDpNd \n\nProgram\n1:00 - 1:05 / Opening Remarks \nJuhn Ahn / University of Michigan \n\n1:05 - 1:15 / May 18 Gwangju: Brief Historical Overview \nJi Yeon Hong / University of Michigan \n\n1:15 - 2:15 / Witnessing and Documenting Gwangju \nDavid Dolinger / Former Peace Corps Volunteer \n“Called by Another Name – Gwangju’s Impact on a Life”\n\nNa Kyung-taek / Former Jeonnam Daily Photojournalist \n“A Reporter's Eyewitness Account of the Command to Open Fire” \n\nQ & A\n\n2:30 - 3:10 / O-IL-PAL: South Korean Democracy as Performance and Event\nHayana Kim / Ohio State University \n\"The Gwangju Uprising and the Performativity of South Korean Democracy\" \n\nSohl Lee / Stony Brook University \n\"The Photographs of Gwangju in 1980: Uneven Disseminations and Reactivated Events\" \n\n3:10 - 3:25 / Gwangju in the World \nThierry Bonzon / Université Gustave Eiffel \n\n3:25 - 4:00 / Q & A\n\n\nSpeakers: \nJuhn Ahn / University of Michigan\nDirector of the Nam Center for Korean Studies and associate professor of Buddhist and Korean studies\, Juhn Y. Ahn earned his B.A. in Asian studies and religion from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, and his Ph.D. in Buddhist Studies from UC Berkeley. He taught East Asian religions at the University of Toronto from 2006 to 2011. After a year researching religion and Koryŏ history at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton\, NJ\, he joined U-M's Department of Asian Languages and Cultures in 2011. His research covers East Asian religions\, Buddhism\, Chan and Zen\, traditional medicine\, and premodern Korean cultural and economic histories. He has published widely on Japanese Zen\, Zen master Hakuin Ekaku\, traditional medicine in Japan\, Korean Buddhism and Sŏn monasticism\, and Korean film. Major publications include *Buddhas and Ancestors: Religion and Wealth in Fourteenth-Century Korea* (2018)\, *Transgression in Korea* (2018)\, and translations like *The Orthodox Path of Seon* (2023) and *Gongan Collections I* (2012). He is currently co-editing a volume on Koryŏ and contributing to the Cambridge Histories Series\, and is the recipient of awards including the Puri Award\, Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship\, and Kyujanggak Fellowship.\n\nJi Yeon Hong / University of Michigan\nJi Yeon Hong is an associate professor of political science and the Korea Foundation Chair Professor of Korean Politics at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on authoritarian politics\, democratization\, political violence\, and elite behavior under dictatorship in East Asia. Her scholarship has been widely published in leading field publications\, including *the American Journal of Political Science*\, *British Journal of Political Science*\, and *Journal of Politics*. \n\nHer academic path is deeply rooted in the historic political movements she witnessed firsthand. Raised in Seoul\, South Korea\, her experience observing the country's democratization during the 1980s and 1990s inspired her to pursue political science. After earning her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Seoul National University and her Ph.D. from New York University\, she served on the faculty at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) from 2014 to 2022\, where she observed another defining wave of pro-democracy activism before joining U-M.\n\nDavid Dolinger / Former Peace Corps Volunteer\nDavid L. Dolinger is a scientist and global health professional currently working in India. He has played key roles in the development and commercialization of diagnostic solutions with a focus on their practical implementation and use in low- and middle-income countries. His work sits at the intersection of laboratory science\, regulatory rigor\, and a long-standing commitment to social justice and patient-centered care. Over the years he has also taken on advisory and collaborative roles with diagnostic manufacturers and global health partners focused on expanding access to high-quality testing in low- and middle-income countries. \n\nHowever\, this passion and drive would not have fermented to the level if it had not been for his life-forming experiences as a Peace corps volunteer in the Republic of Korea. At the young age of 22\, he travelled for the first time outside of the United States\, landing in south Jeolla province in the small county of Yeongam. He worked in the local health center focusing on tuberculosis control. It was there that he started to understand how diagnostic tests are the foundation of good health care. It was his experiences in and participation in the May 18 Democratization Movement\, in Gwangju that grounded him and has driven him through his life to utilize his talents and understanding of diagnostics to focus on those that are marginalized and ignored.\n\nNa Kyung-taek / Former Photojournalist\nNa Kyung-taek\, former head of the Yonhap News Bureau for Gwangju and Jeonnam\, began his career in journalism in 1967. As a pioneering photojournalist\, he captured the frontlines of the May 18 Democratization Movement\, exposing the truth to the world through his lens. His unwavering journalistic integrity earned him both the Courageous Journalist Award and the Korea Journalist Award.\n\nFollowing his retirement\, Mr. Na continued to serve the public through university lectures and welfare foundation work. He has remained dedicated to sharing the historical significance of May 18 globally\, authoring books such as *When That Day in May Comes Again and We Saw*\, and hosting photo exhibitions across South Korea and internationally\, including in Germany and the United States.\n\nSohl Lee / Stony Brook University\nSohl Lee is associate professor of art history at Stony Brook University (SUNY)\, specializing in modern and contemporary Asian art\, decolonial visual culture\, socially engaged art\, and ecological art history\, with a particular interest in oceanic and transpacific frameworks. Her first book\, *The Minjung Art Movement: Decolonization and Democracy in South Korea* (Duke University Press\, 2026)\, historicizes an influential movement of activist art from the 1970s and 1980s. Her current book project\, *Seaweed as Method: Art History with Oceans\, Multispecies Life\, and Empire* examines the global visual cultures of seaweeds through the intertwined lenses of ecology\, decolonization\, food sovereignty\, and Indigenous onto-epistemologies. She is a recipient of the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching (2020) and has received grants and fellowships from the Social Sciences Research Council (SSRC)\, the Korea Foundation\, the Korean Ministry of Culture\, the Academy of Korean Studies\, the Getty Research Institute\, and the Andy Warhol Foundation\, among others.\n\nHayana Kim / Ohio State University\nHayana Kim is an assistant professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at the Ohio State University. As an interdisciplinary performance and media historian of twentieth- and twenty-first-century South Korea\, her research centers on cultures of democracy in contemporary South Korea. Her teaching is at the intersections of Korean studies\, Asian diasporic studies\, and theatre\, performance\, and media studies. Kim is currently working on her book manuscript entitled *Making P’an for a New World: The Kwangju Uprising\, Women\, and the Performativity of South Korean Democracy*. This project\, based on extensive archival and ethnographic research\, investigates the role of the body and affect in advancing democracy in South Korea by illuminating various forms of performances that women in Kwangju and in broader Chŏlla Province created to bring out insurgent cultural spaces where deaths disavowed by the state and concealed from the public eye emerge into communal memories. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in *Journal of Asian Studies*\, *Asian Theatre Journal*\, and in edited collections published by Cambridge University Press\, Chonnam National University\, among others. She received her Ph.D. from the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Theatre and Drama at Northwestern University.\n\nThierry Bonzon / Université Gustave Eiffel\nThierry Bonzon\, associate professor (Maître de conférences) in contemporary history at Université Gustave Eiffel\, conducts research at the intersection of First World War history and the historical analysis of photography as a primary source. His first line of inquiry examines the local dynamics of wartime sacrifice\, social policy\, and pacifist movements—notably explored through the \"La France pétitionne\" project and the co-organization of the international conference Les défenseurs de la paix\, 1899–1917\, which integrated Peace Studies into French historiography. His second field explores photojournalism and image-based history through two distinct geographical and temporal contexts: a collective project analyzing over 2\,000 photographer-correspondents for l'Humanité documenting social and urban changes in the Paris region (1950s–1990s)\, and a current investigation into the photographic archives of the May 1980 Gwangju Uprising in South Korea. Together\, these projects bridge archival discovery\, public history\, and the study of visual media as a fundamental tool for constructing historical memory.\n\n*If 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.*\n\n*Part of the International Institute Theme Year: Sovereignty*\nhttps://myumi.ch/ii-theme

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Mechanobiology and Synthetic Cells: Understanding and Engineering Adaptive Cellular Systems\n\nAbstract:\nBiological cells and synthetic cell-like systems both rely on dynamic membranes\, molecular organization\, and mechanical interactions with their surroundings to sense\, respond\, and adapt. In this seminar\, I will discuss our lab’s efforts to understand and engineer these behaviors across living and synthetic systems. The first part of the talk will focus on cellular mechanobiology\, with an emphasis on cellular unjamming in three-dimensional environments. While unjamming transitions have been widely studied in collective cell migration and tissue remodeling\, their regulation in 3D remains less understood. I will describe our work investigating how cells transition between solid-like and fluid-like collective behaviors in physiologically relevant environments\, and how these transitions are coupled to cell-generated forces\, matrix interactions\, and multicellular organization.\n\nThe second part of the talk will shift toward bottom-up synthetic biology and the construction of synthetic cells that can sense and respond to environmental cues. I will present our work developing pH-sensing synthetic cells\, designed to detect chemical changes in their surroundings and produce measurable biochemical or physical responses. I will also discuss our efforts to engineer desiccation-resistant synthetic cells\, motivated by the need to create robust cell-like systems that can survive extreme or fluctuating environmental conditions. Together\, these projects highlight how principles from cell mechanobiology\, membrane biophysics\, and synthetic biology can be integrated to understand the design rules of living systems and to build programmable\, resilient cellular mimics.     \nBio:\nAllen Liu received a B.Sc. with Honors in Biochemistry from the University of British Columbia in 2001 and a Ph.D. in Biophysics from the University of California\, Berkeley in 2007\, followed by postdoctoral training at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla. He established his research group in 2012 and is currently Professor of Mechanical Engineering\, Biomedical Engineering\, and Biophysics\, as well as Associate Chair for Graduate Education in Mechanical Engineering\, at the University of Michigan.\n\nHis research focuses on cellular mechanotransduction and bottom-up synthetic biology\, integrating approaches from quantitative cell biology\, synthetic biology\, biophysics\, and microfluidics. He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers and delivered more than 100 invited presentations. His honors include the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award\; recognition as a Young Innovator by Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering and as a Rising Star by the Biomedical Engineering Society\; and selection as a Future of Biophysics speaker at a Burroughs Wellcome Fund symposium at the Biophysical Society Meeting. He is an elected Fellow of the Biomedical Engineering Society\, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry\, and a recipient of the Endeavour Executive Fellowship in Australia and the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship for Experienced Researchers in Germany.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Managing the emission and absorption of thermal radiation in large scale energy technologies
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThermal radiation and thermal storage can play crucial roles in alleviating the intensifying pressure on energy systems caused by surging electricity demand\, extreme weather\, and supply-chain constraints. This talk will focus on the development of advanced\, scalable materials for managing thermal radiation and their integration with thermal storage systems. Hot and cold thermal storage is a scalable\, low-cost solution that is maturing rapidly and seeing growing global adoption. To charge and discharge these storage systems\, we have developed materials that control solar and thermal radiation while overcoming fundamental challenges in broadband spectral control\, scalability\, and material stability in harsh environments.\n\nBiography: \nAndrej Lenert is an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan\, where he leads the Lab for Efficient and Enduring Energy Systems (LE3) which conducts research on materials and devices that convert light (photons) into valuable products such as electricity\, high-grade heat\, and sustainable chemicals. He is a pioneer in the fields of thermal photonics and thermophotovoltaics (TPVs). His research group at UM established thin-film back-reflector TPV cells\, now widely used in the manufacture of high performance TPV systems. Dr. Lenert guided the development of air-bridge TPVs from invention to technology and co-founded Heat2Power to see their translation into the market. His inventions include bifacial and multi-terminal TPVs\, aerogel solar collectors\, and high-albedo radiative coolers. Prior to UM and H2P\, he received his PhD at MIT in 2014 where he focused on the development of nanophotonic solar TPV devices which made the MIT Technology Review 2017 list of 10 Breakthrough Technologies.\n\n\nFor the most up to date information on the location\, please check the related link the week of this event

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Death’s Intimacies: Water\, Gender\, and Alternative Belongings
DESCRIPTION:Join the Departments of Women's and Gender Studies and Sociology on September 17\, 2026 at 4pm in LSA Room 4154 for \"Death's Intimacies: Water\, Gender\, and Alternative Belongings.\"\n\nThis presentation explores the gendered tending of the dead among South Asian Muslims and Sikhs in the North American diaspora. Focusing on sensory and affective practices of washing and preparing bodies\, it reads water as a medium of transition and passage\, inviting us to think beyond political borders toward alternative understandings of belonging.\n\nJyoti Puri is a feminist sociologist whose research and teaching primarily focuses on structural and institutional forms of regulation from the perspectives of marginalized subjects. Through her books and numerous essays\, she explores how states and nations govern bodies\, genders\, sexualities\, and death\; examines the transnational aspects of governance shaped by colonial histories and postcolonial legacies\; and strives to decenter Eurocentric theory and perspectives. She is the winner of Jessie Bernard Award (2021) from the American Sociological Association (ASA)\, as well as the Simon-Gagnon Lifetime Achievement Award (2023) from the ASA's Sexualities Section.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Democracy in Motion: The Advancement of Democracy in Korea and the Students at the Frontline
DESCRIPTION:Nearly eighty years have passed since the establishment of the Republic of Korea in the South and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) in the North in 1948. This exhibit features selected library collections that trace the history and major milestones of Korean democracy\, with particular attention to the vital role of student movements.\n\nAt pivotal moments in modern Korean history\, students stood at the forefront of resistance to authoritarian rule and military oppression. Their activism became a powerful force in the pursuit of political freedom and contributed significantly to the advancement of democracy in Korea. Spanning the period from Korea’s first president\, Syngman Rhee\, to current president Lee Jae-myung\, this exhibit invites visitors to reflect on Korea’s long\, complex\, and ongoing journey toward democratization. \n\nPresented by the library in conjunction with Democracy Week at Michigan and in collaboration with the Nam Center for Korean Studies.\n\nThird Thursdays at the Library is a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections. While you’re here\, pick up a passport and collect a stamp from each of this month's Third Thursday locations — Asia Library\, Clark Library\, International Studies\, and the Special Collections Research Center — to win a prize!

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Uncovering the complex genetic basis of evolutionary adaptations in the yellow monkeyflower\, Mimulus guttatus
DESCRIPTION:Seminar summary - Understanding how organisms evolve adaptations to diverse environments is crucial to biological research. Despite their importance\, our understanding of the genetic\, physiological\, and developmental mechanisms that drive these adaptations remains limited. In this talk\, I will present significant advancements made by my research group in elucidating these mechanisms in the yellow monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus). Through this research\, my group has uncovered the mechanisms underlying plant adaptations to coastal versus inland habitats in California\, including to seasonal drought\, oceanic salt spray\, and herbivory.  We are currently focused on understanding how chromosomal inversion polymorphisms facilitate the adaptive transition from a perennial to an annual life-history strategy in this system. Overall\, this research enhances our understanding of the mechanisms underlying local adaptation and the intricate relationship between environmental factors and evolutionary genetic processes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: “Ordered to Leave”: Expulsion and the Origins of Jim Crow in Small-town America\, 1890s-1920s
DESCRIPTION:Why is small-town America overwhelmingly white? While we know much about the history of Jim Crow in the South and increasingly in the urban North and South\, we know little about the\nracial system that emerged in small towns outside the South. Focusing on towns in Indiana and Napa Valley\, California\, this talk considers how a culture of expulsion became a distinguishing feature of Jim Crow in small towns. Tensions related to migration\, labor\, and morality fueled racial discourses and practices as expulsion quietly and legally became part of the routine of daily life in small-town America.\n\nStephen A. Berrey is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Associate Professor of American Culture and History at the University of Michigan. He is chair of the James W. Loewen Foundation\, and Director of the Sundown Towns Project (https://justice.tougaloo.edu)\, a public engagement initiative begun by Loewen to document places that have intentionally excluded some racial groups. He is the author of The Jim Crow Routine: Everyday Performances of Race\, Civil Rights\, and Segregation in Mississippi (2015). With the Singing Justice Collective\, a collaboration of scholars and performers\, he is co-author of Black Song: A Manifesto for Music and Justice (forthcoming 2026).\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Locality as a Design Variable at Interfaces
DESCRIPTION:Interfacial function is often attributed to the few atomic layers at a boundary. For mixed-dimensional interfaces\, however\, how far that influence extends depends strongly on direction. The same boundary can act locally along one crystallographic direction and nonlocally along another\, reaching tens to hundreds of nanometers into adjoining materials. While theory has long recognized such nonlocality\, directly resolving it at functioning interfaces has remained challenging. I argue that the locality of an interface\, the distance over which its influence reaches\, is not a fixed material property but a design variable revealed by resolving the interfacial response in momentum\, space\, and time. My group achieves this using momentum-resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy\, transient absorption spectroscopy\, and time-resolved photoemission microscopy. I will discuss two case studies. In MoOCl2\, an anisotropic van der Waals crystal\, the interface extends far along one in-plane direction while remaining confined along the orthogonal one\, making a single boundary simultaneously local and nonlocal. In cobalt and iron oxides\, the balance is set instead by the material: regions of local bonding and defect trapping can dominate in one oxide\, while strain and interfacial fields carry influence across buried interfaces in another. Together\, these examples show that the role of locality at an interface can be tuned by direction\, structure\, and composition\, providing a route to engineer light–matter interactions for photocatalysis and quantum emitters.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Political Ecology Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Political Ecology Workshop (PEW) is an interdisciplinary space for scholars at all career stages with interests in political ecology and related critical approaches to the study of environment-society interactions. PEW brings together a range of divisions across campus\, including Anthropology\, History\, Environment and Sustainability\, Political Science\, Sociology\, and all Area Studies departments and programs. We have founded a collaborative\, multidisciplinary community with a shared investment questioning how environments and societies are co-produced and the ways in which power and inequality impact the dynamics and understandings of this co-production. We have run PEW as an RIW for two years and all the workshops have been possible from our committed participants from diverse fields. This year\, we intend to develop our membership further by inviting scholars from broader fields and promoting PEW on listservs across campus.\nPEW supports graduate student development\, including for earlier-stage students seeking interdisciplinary conversations as they develop environment-society research projects and later-stage students seeking to incorporate political ecology into their work. PEW emphasizes dedicated time for graduate students to receive feedback on their work and facilitates faculty-student mentorship. It allows students to access a range of critical environmental studies perspectives they might not have encountered through coursework or departmental activities\, and to grow from the feedback and insight of faculty and peers who share this commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship and professional development.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Digging Deeper Lecture | They Wanted Cicero\, They Got Gladiators: Bare-Knuckle Boxers and the Fight for Citizen Identity
DESCRIPTION:This is a story about a lesser-known aspect of our Roman inheritance. The founders looked to the Romans as an ideal for their own republican aspirations: institutions that tempered the excesses of the *populus*\; statesmen like Cicero who projected an unflinching defense of the Republic\; and stories that described their own experiment of strangers fleeing from their homes to carve out a new community from the wilderness. But the United States also inherited another aspect of Rome that grew out of these rugged\, founding stories. It was not the enlightened\, republican body but the gladiatorial body that emerged as a rival conception of what an American looks like. The gladiatorial body\, which received prominence in outlawed\, bare-knuckle boxing\, as well as the theater\, was physically imposing\, violent\, anti-intellectual\, and brash. This talk takes us inside the worlds of the gladiator and bare-knuckle boxer to understand their allure as images of the citizen body.\n\nJoin us in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall to hear from Dr. Dean Hammer\, the John W. Wetzel Professor of Classics and Professor of Government at Franklin and Marshall College. Light refreshments will be available.\n\nThis lecture is being presented in connection with the Kelsey Museum’s temporary exhibition\, “‘There Are in America\, No Kings\, Princes\, or Nobles’: Caesar\, Cato\, and Washington\,” and the University of Michigan’s Democracy Week—a campus-wide initiative designed to highlight the importance of democratic principles\, participation\, and civic empowerment. Funding for this event was provided by the U-M Initiative for Democracy & Civic Empowerment. \n\n“They Wanted Cicero\, They Got Gladiators” is free and open to all visitors. If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sixth Annual Luis Gomez Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Learning to Read from Mahāyāna Sūtras\n\nWhy read Mahāyāna sūtras? These seemingly fantastical\, overtly manipulative\, frankly baffling ancient texts might seem to have little to attract contemporary readers. I will argue\, however\, that they have much to teach us about the act of reading. Because they assume a sacrificial cosmology in which reading is a ritual for transforming self and world\, they help us to recognize and question the features of our own technologically informed cosmology of reading. In our time\, when reading is often reduced to information transfer or an optional leisure activity\, Mahāyāna sūtras show us how word-born worlds enter and alter our bodyminds. In the process\, they challenge us to rethink\, and experience\, literature differently. Learning to read Mahāyāna sūtras—and learning to read from Mahāyāna sūtras—demands that we recognize the ritual aspects of literature\, Buddhist and beyond.\n\nBiography\n\nNatalie Gummer is Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies and holds the Edwin F. Wilde\, Jr. Distinguished Service Chair at Beloit College\, where she also directs the Center for Integrative Learning. Her research examines textual and ritual practices in premodern Mahāyāna Buddhist literary cultures\, with particular interests in performance\, translation\, and the contemporary ethical possibilities of Buddhist literature. She received her Ph.D. from Harvard University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Holly Bass
DESCRIPTION:\n\nSince 1776\, Americans have used major anniversaries of the nation’s founding to celebrate\, debate\, revise\, and perform the story of the United States. For We Hold These Truths\, her new exhibition opening at UMMA in October 2026\, artist Holly Bass looks to three of those anniversary years—1876\, 1976\, and 2026 to explore how national ideals are staged in public\, preserved in private\, and passed down through generations. \n\nIn this talk\, Bass will discuss the ideas behind We Hold These Truths\, her process of transforming UMMA’s iconic Apse into an environment\, and the role art plays in helping communities consider these varied histories. Drawing from her practice across performance\, visual art\, theater\, writing\, and engagement\, Bass will offer a preview of the exhibition and explain how historic home museums inspired this new body of work.\n\nBass is the 2026 Roman J. Witt Artist In Residence and an award-winning artist and cultural worker based in Washington\, DC. Her work—held in the collections of the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery—frequently engages communities through workshops\, devised theater\, and participatory installations and explores themes of American history\, generational labor\, and liberation. \n\nBass has been recognized with awards for multiple art forms. She received a 2024 Washington Award for art and social justice. She is a 2022 MAP Fund recipient for theater\, a 2020 Live Feed Resident Artist at New York Live Arts for choreography and dance and a 2021–22 Smithsonian Artist Research Fellow. She performed at the 2022 Venice Biennale as part of Loophole of Retreat\, Simone Leigh’s special project for the U.S. Pavilion. She regularly contributes book reviews to the New York Times and was the first journalist to put the term “hip hop theater” into print in a 1999 article for American Theatre magazine. Bass directed an arts program for adjudicated teens in DC’s Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services from 2014 to 2019. From 2019 to 2025\, she served as national director of Turnaround Arts at the Kennedy Center\, a program that increases access to the arts in under-resourced elementary and middle schools. She studied modern dance under Viola Farber and creative writing at Sarah Lawrence College before earning her Master’s degree from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. In fall 2026\, Bass will also be a Towsley Policymaker in Residence at the U-M Ford School of Public Policy.\n\nWe Hold These Truths opens at UMMA on October 3\, 2026. The exhibition and Bass’ Penny Stamps Speaker Series program are presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Residency Program and the University of Michigan Museum of Art.\n\nAbout the University of Michigan Roman J. Witt Residency\n\nThe Roman J. Witt Residency Program\, developed with the support of University of Michigan alumna Penny W. Stamps and named in honor of her father\, is an annual international competition that awards one residency per academic year to a visiting artist/designer who proposes to develop a new work in collaboration with University of Michigan students and faculty.\n\nLead support for the exhibition is provided by the Benedek Endowment Fund for the Humanities\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, the Greg Hodes and Heidi Hertel Hodes Partners in the Arts Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment Fund\, and Stamps School of Art & Design.\n\nPresented in partnership with the U-M Museum of Art\, with support from U.S. at 250\, U-M Ford School of Public Policy\, and the U-M Initiative for Democracy & Civic Empowerment. \n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cake and Ice Cream: Creating a Sense of Belonging at U-M Student Banquets in the Early 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:Dorm dinners and late night snacks with friends and roommates have been a major part of the college experience for generations of students. At U-M this has been true since its founding\, and in the early 1900s the most memorable meals were formal banquets hosted by student organizations. Join us and Professor Lisa Young to learn about these banquets and how they created a sense of belonging for Michigan’s community that lasted long after graduation.\n\nLisa Young is the Volney H. Jones Collegiate Lecturer in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. Long interested in the history of food systems in human society\, she has worked on archaeological digs in the southwestern United States and researched extensively on the history of food at U-M. She attended Michigan as an undergraduate and received her Ph.D. from the University of Arizona.\n\nRefreshments will be provided\, and anyone is welcome to attend this free talk. Registration is recommended for in-person attendance\, and we're glad to welcome anyone who wishes to attend virtually.\n\nThe Making Michigan series is co-sponsored by the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:How AI Might Make And Break America's Justice System
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nMost Americans facing a legal problem\, whether an eviction\, a custody dispute\, or a debt collection suit\, navigate it alone. In three out of four civil cases in state courts\, at least one side has no lawyer\, and the judges and lawyers inside the system are burning out. We will never hire enough lawyers to close this gap.\n\nEnter artificial intelligence. AI tools can now explain legal concepts in plain language\, draft documents\, and guide people through procedures that once required years of training. But the same technology fabricates case citations\, offers no confidentiality\, and could flood overwhelmed courts with new filings\, deepening the very crisis it promises to solve.\n\nDrawing on their work leading Michigan Law's AI Law and Policy Clinic\, where students build and test AI tools with real courts and legal aid organizations\, Bridgette Carr and Vivek Sankaran explore what AI can genuinely fix in the justice system and what it might break.

SUMMARY:Performance:California Guitar Trio
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating 35 years\n\nFor 35 years\, California Guitar Trio (CGT) has redefined what a small ensemble can achieve on one stage. Since forming in 1991\, the group has captivated audiences with a singular sound that fearlessly crisscrosses genres — blending rock\, jazz\, classical\, and global influences\, with the occasional surf or spaghetti Western twist for good measure.\n\nFounded by Paul Richards\, Bert Lams\, and Hideyo Moriya\, CGT emerged from the creative lineage of guitarist Robert Fripp and quickly built a reputation for precision\, interplay\, and adventurous musical exploration. Today\, the trio continues its evolution with Paul Richards\, Bert Lams\, and Chapman Stick player Tom Griesgraber\, who joined the group in 2020. Griesgraber’s addition expanded the ensemble’s sonic palette with deep bass textures\, orchestral layering\, and new harmonic possibilities while preserving CGT’s signature musical language.\n\nEqually known for dazzling musicianship and genuine connection with audiences\, CGT concerts blend intricate three-part counterpoint with storytelling\, humor\, and an inviting stage presence that makes listeners feel like participants rather than spectators.
