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:Conference / Symposium:Geophilosophies (3): Cross-Cultural Thinking in Precarious Times
DESCRIPTION:In this era of global disorientation\, marked by unfolding ecological crises\, ongoing wars fueled by technological competition\, the idea of dialogical engagement and even more so the idea of cross-cultural thinking\, feels like a nostalgic dream. In the wake of the international order’s dismantling and the ruinous acceleration of techno-capitalism\, social discontent has been channeled into extreme nationalisms that promise a ‘homecoming’ at the expense of outsiders\, immigrants\, refugees. Adding to these woes\, intellectual efforts to challenge the ‘dogmatic images’ of thinking that have ruled by elevating particular epistemologies to the level of ‘global thought\,’ are being increasingly stymied by capitulant institutions. Yet\, it is precisely in such precarious times that cross-cultural thinking seems more necessary than ever\, not least as an antidote to the ongoing segregation of knowledges and thought-systems currently underway.\n    	\nThis conference is part of a series of events organized under the Geophilosophies initiative. As a project Geophilosophies not only calls attention to thought-systems that continue to be erased\, discredited\, or ignored by dominant cultures\, but more importantly\, encourages the kind of deep conceptual encounter between different traditions of thought with the capacity to effect real psychic\, social and ecological change. We define cross-cultural thinking as the kind of engagement that strives for maximum communication\, unlike the concept of ‘border crossing’ which we see as a vestige of nation-state sovereignty. Thus defined\, cross-cultural thinking is transversal and ecosophical by nature\, inasmuch as it strives for modes of thinking grounded in lived practices and experiences that effortlessly bring incompatible concepts and entities into new associations characterized by their mutual self-transformation. On this note\, we invite presentations that re-examine unexplored avenues in cross-cultural philosophical thinking\, aiming to repair fractured connections between self\, society and world amid today’s global turmoil. We are particularly interested in experimental methodologies that explore: (i) the nature of contact zones between concepts\, praxes\, and worldviews\; (ii) the co-imbrication of one’s subjectivity in cross-cultural encounters. We encourage risk-taking\, for example\, by resisting the kind of knowledge specializations that may prevent genuine engagement between differences and that work through two or more traditions of thought to create an ‘in-between’ idiom that is at home in its homelessness.\n \nPursued in collaboration with the Uberoi Foundation\, an organization that is dedicated to cross-cultural exchange and expanding awareness of diverse traditions\, this conference promises to break new ground in the development of ways of thinking that simultaneously draw upon ancient human wisdoms while also being informed by the urgency of the present global moment\, bringing a diasporic consciousness to a world seduced by the alluring false comfort of restrictive nationalisms.

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:Faster and More Fun: American Home Cooking in the 1920s
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room to see historical materials that illustrate women’s changing relationship with food\, cooking\, and technology during the heady decade of the 1920s\, sandwiched between WWI and the Great Depression. This exhibit features materials from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive\, as well as select items from the Art\, Architecture\, and Engineering Special Collections and the Transportation History Collection.\n\nAs America rang in a new decade in the 1920s\, cookbook authors and appliance manufacturers stood ready to offer the newly emancipated and forward-thinking American woman a vision for her future\, a vision that would be scientifically  grounded\, speedy enough to make time for leisure as well as housework\, and guaranteed to bring fun to that most humdrum of chores: planning and preparing meals for a family three times a day\, 365 days a year.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Grand Vision
DESCRIPTION:Visiting artist Olayami Dabls is a storyteller\, curator\, educator\, and mentor. He is the founder of the MBAD African Bead Museum in Detroit. Through material culture\, Dabls presents commentary on the past\, present\, and future from African and African-American perspectives\, with the understanding that generations of African ancestors used visual materials to convey information about their identity as well as send messages for healing and protection. Dabls is a luminary\; for decades he has re-imagined what a museum space can be\, accessible to everyone\, free from the underpinnings of colonialism and the Western\, often white\, frame. *Grand Vision* includes a conceptual installation in the Gallery\, presenting Dabls’s own work in visual conversation with African beads and artifacts from Dabls’s Bead Museum collections. \n\nAdditionally\, Dabls’s iconic outdoor sculpture *Iron Teaching Rocks Table Manners* will be installed on the U-M campus grounds near UMMA\, at the intersection of State Street and South University from September 17- October 11\, 2026. The project’s range intends to more fully articulate the many facets of Dabls’ creative practice\, and the overlay of art\, history\, identity\, community\, and healing.

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:Wealth Dynamics and Path Dependence
DESCRIPTION:This paper studies wealth dynamics and capital allocation under different trade regimes and shows that trade integration can make specialization history-dependent even when sectors have the same long-run productivity potential. I develop a dynamic multisector general equilibrium model with heterogeneous entrepreneurs facing persistent productivity shocks. Financial frictions make firms' ability to expand depend on their wealth\, which connects sectoral production and growth to wealth distribution. In a closed economy\, relative prices respond to scarcity: initially disadvantaged sectors become more profitable and catch up with initially favored sectors.\nIn an open economy\, international markets limit this price response\; initially favored sectors accumulate more wealth and account for larger long-run shares of production. I implement a quantitative analysis using data from Peruvian firms\, households\, national accounts\, tariffs\, and international trade to quantify how initial wealth allocation shapes sectoral specialization and how domestic and foreign trade policies affect its persistence.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Body Camera Footage as Data
DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade\, police departments across the country have adopted body-worn cameras at a dizzying pace. While we typically think of these recordings as evidence to prove or disprove police misconduct\, they also provide a source of data for the thousands of interactions law enforcement have with the public each day. In this talk\, I’ll share what this footage can tell us as data: insights into the everyday realities of policing\, and tools for more accountable and just law enforcement.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Rivers and the Politics of Temporality in Ainu Mosir
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in East Hall 4448 and virtually on Zoom. If you are attending in person\, we recommend entering East Hall using the Church Street entrance and taking the elevator to the 4th floor. If you would like to attend via Zoom\, registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/kVx6z.\n\nBased on fourteen months of ethnographic fieldwork in Ainu Mosir (Hokkaido\, Japan)\, this talk considers the crucial role that rivers play in Indigenous Ainu articulations of sovereignty and futurity. As an important medium through which kin-based\, territorial\, and cosmological rights and responsibilities continue to be expressed\, rivers connect ancestral Ainu lifeways with visions of an Indigenous future. In their struggles for Indigenous rights today\, Ainu activists continue to focus on rivers as the central locus of Ainu sovereignty and the origin from which Ainu cultural and territorial rights emerge\, envisioning and enacting futures of flourishing and abundance that are rooted in ancestral relationships to their native lands and waters and the more-than-human beings who inhabit them. In so doing\, they insist upon a future for the Ainu as an Indigenous people\, challenging Japan’s ongoing settler-colonial structure of Ainu dispossession and elimination.\n\nDr. Michael J. Ioannides is a teaching postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. He received his Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from the University of California Santa Barbara\, in June 2026\, with an interdisciplinary emphasis on environment and society. His research focuses on Ainu environmental and Indigenous rights activism in rural Hokkaido\, Japan. Aside from his research\, he is a contributor to the website AinuToday (https://ainutoday.com/)\, as well as a saxophonist and independent music producer who regularly collaborates with Ainu artists.\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: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:Exhibition:Democracy Week | Beacon of Democratic Resilience: Visual Truths and the Legacy of Korea's 5·18 Democratization Movement - A Photographic Archive of the May 1980 People’s Uprising in Korea
DESCRIPTION:Link to the official event poster: \nhttps://myumi.ch/kVdVV\n\n*Exhibition Description*\nThis photo exhibition features 90 curated images from the UNESCO-inscribed May 18 Archives. Documenting the May 18–27\, 1980 democratization uprising in Gwangju\, South Korea\, the collection captures the shift from peaceful student protests to military violence and unified citizen resistance\, carried out under a complete blackout as civilians and photojournalists risked their lives to photograph atrocities and smuggle film past cordons. Beyond serving as historical artifacts\, these preserved visual truths offer a living blueprint for popular resilience against authoritarianism\, transforming local trauma into a universal defense of human rights. Displaying these records at Michigan bridges 1980 Gwangju with our present moment\, inviting viewers to engage past resistance in the ongoing effort to defend democracy today.\n\n*Exhibition Composition*\nThe exhibit will be composed of a visual narrative comprised of six chronological sections and two additional special sections:\n\n1. Protest (May 5–16\, 1980): \nFollowing the collapse of Park Chung-hee’s military dictatorship in October\, 1979\, Gwangju students and citizens held peaceful rallies for campus autonomy and the end of martial law. Photos from this era show orderly marches and hopeful faces\, capturing a society on the brink of change before the structural contradictions shifted toward state-led violence. \n\n2. Suppression (May 18–19\, 1980): \nA new junta government led by Chun Doo-hwan extended martial law to the entire country on May 17. Students at Chonnam National University protested against the new junta government’s decision. State violence escalated as paratroopers\, who were deployed to Gwangju\, engaged student protesters. Streets became scenes of brutal beatings and kidnappings. Beyond documenting victims\, the images on display in this section serve as primary historical evidence and legal proof of the military's methods and the sudden transformation of citizens into targets of control. \n\n3. Uprising (May 20–21\, 1980): \nThe movement shifted into a popular struggle. Vehicles lined up in Gwangju’s main thoroughfare\, Geumnam-ro. This massive vehicle parade symbolized the people becoming active subjects of resistance. The military was given the order to use live ammunition against civilians. In reaction\, the city became a space of voluntary mobilization and citizens emerged as historical political actors. \n\n4. Resistance (May 22–26\, 1980): \nWhile isolated and cut off from communications\, Gwangju established an autonomous system of self-governance. Photos in this section testify to the efforts made to establish a sense of order based on solidarity—sharing food and donating blood—rather than chaos. The formation of this \"Daedong (Great Unity) Community\" and the visual documentation thereof serve as foundations of democracy in South Korea. \n\n5. Massacre (May 27\, 1980): \nThe uprising was crushed by a dawn military operation. While the armed resistance ended\, the resulting photographs of the aftermath reveal the stark reality of the massacre. These images became the catalyst for future truth-seeking movements and the pursuit of historical justice in South Korea. \n\n6. Mourning: \nScenes of coffins\, portraits\, and silent vigils represent a collective ethical gaze. During this period\, mourning was more than a display of grief\; it was a communal act used to redefine the city’s identity and establish new moral standards for justice.\n\n7. Special Section A: The Photographers\nThis special section highlights the domestic and international photographers who documented the uprising. This includes Korean journalists alongside US journalists Robin Moyer and Norman Thorpe\, French correspondents Patrick Chauvel and François Lochon\, and German cinematographer Jürgen Hinzpeter. Their images transcend simple reporting\, reflecting a moral commitment to record and a historical duty to ensure remembrance. Rather than viewing these photos solely as evidence\, the exhibition reinterprets them through a lens of photographic history—examining their context\, distribution\, and how they transformed raw records into social truth and collective memory.\n\n8. Special Section B: The Peace Corps: Americans Who Helped Gwangju\nWhen Gwangju was isolated under martial law in May 1980\, four American Peace Corps volunteers—Tim Warnberg\, David Lee Dolinger\, Judi Chamberlin\, and Paul Courtright—refused to leave\, choosing instead to assist the wounded\, aid foreign journalists\, and ultimately expose the truth to the world. Those pivotal ten days reshaped their lives into lifelong commitments to human rights\, inspiring decades of memoirs\, academic writings\, and testimonies. Through photographs\, video footage\, and personal records\, this section traces their journey from eyewitnesses to active defenders of human dignity\, inviting us to reflect on what it truly means to take a stand in the face of another’s suffering. \n\nTwo additional events programmed in conjunction with this photo exhibition\n1. Symposium: \n“For Thee and All the World to See: May 18 Gwangju and the Visual Tenacities of South Korean Democracy”\nhttps://myumi.ch/mVdVJ \n\n2. Third Thursday at the Library: \nDemocracy in Motion: The Advancement of Democracy in Korea and the Students at the Frontline\nhttps://myumi.ch/rwdwn \n\nContent Warning: This exhibition contains historical photographs documenting the 1980 Gwangju Democratization Movement\, including graphic depictions of violence\, state military suppression\, injuries\, and grief. Viewer discretion is advised.\n\nThis exhibit is co-sponsored by the May 18 Archives\, Center for Democracy & Civic Empowerment\, Department of Political Science\, Center for Emerging Democracies\, Donia Human Rights Center\, Asia Library\, and Duderstadt Center.\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.*

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ChE SEMINAR: Wenjun Zhang\, University of California\, Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:A reception with light refreshments will be held in the B10 lobby before each seminar from 1-1:30 p.m.\n\n*Abstract:*\nNatural products remain at the forefront of chemical biology\, offering both therapeutic potential and unique chemical insights. This seminar details our group’s approach to expanding the natural product landscape: from the discovery of molecules in complex ecological niches to the elucidation of rare enzymatic mechanisms. The first portion of the talk will focus on the human oral microbiome\, an underexplored reservoir of chemical diversity. I will discuss our efforts in mining for bioactive small molecules\, focusing on their role in defining the \"socio-chemical\" landscape of oral health and disease. The second half will transition into the biosynthetic logic governing unique scaffolds and functionalities of natural products. By elucidating the enzymatic machinery involved\, specifically our recent discovery and characterization of rare N-N bond-forming enzymes\, we demonstrate how understanding nature's synthetic strategies enables the production of novel analogs via synthetic biology and expands the modern biocatalytic toolkit.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Powering the AI Future with Leadership Silicon
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping how we work\, live\, and interact with the entire physical world. This revolution is fundamentally fueled by semiconductor innovation—stretching from energy-efficient transistors to advanced integration technologies like CoWoS®\, 3D stacking\, and heterogeneous packaging. As power delivery\, memory access\, and high-speed signaling become critical bottlenecks to AI scaling\, next-generation solutions are emerging as vital pillars for system-level performance. At the foundational device level\, transistor scaling continues to drive performance – the industry is transitioning from FinFET to Nanosheets. Advanced 2.5D and 3D packaging transcend fundamental reticle limits with fine-pitch hybrid bonding and high-aspect-ratio TSVs. By enabling highly integrated\, heterogeneous chiplet architectures\, these packaging and integration innovations will deliver unprecedented memory bandwidth and energy efficiency. Overcoming the I/O power wall in next-generation AI fabrics requires Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) powered by advanced silicon photonics like COUPE (Compact Universal Photonic Engine). This new AI platform delivers ultra-low latency\, high-density connectivity\, and sub-pJ/bit energy efficiency essential for massive AI workloads. This talk will present state-of-the-art semiconductor platform technologies designed for AI applications\, while outlining the future opportunities and directions of the industry.\n\nBio: Dr. Kevin Zhang currently serves as Deputy Co-COO and Senior Vice President at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC)\, where he is responsible for the company-wide business strategy and global sales\, including technology roadmap and customer engagement. Before joining TSMC\, Dr. Zhang was Vice President of Technology and Manufacturing Group and Director of Circuit Technology at Intel. He was elected as Intel Fellow in 2005 and led his teams to win 5 Intel Achievement Awards\, the highest technical accomplishments in the company. Dr. Zhang has published more than 80 papers at international conferences and in technical journals. He holds 55 U.S. patents in the field of integrated circuit technology. He was the 2016 International Solid-State Circuit Conference (ISSCC) Program chair and conference chair for 2021/2022 and currently serves on the Advisory Board of MIT Engineering School.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reflections from the Past\, Thoughts about the Future of Archaeology - Jeffrey R. Parsons Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Recovering information about the past\, learning from it\, and preserving these data and lessons for future generations is central to the archaeological enterprise. The past half century has seen a tremendous growth in archaeological research\, including the collection of vast and diverse data\, and dramatic shifts in the methods used to collect it and in the conceptual frameworks by which it is interpreted. Archaeology is needed more than ever\, as the extant record is increasingly being lost to forces like development\, climate change\, erosion\, and looting. This mandates careful consideration of how we are to proceed to save what we can\, combining collaborative and ethical frameworks in preservation and research. Our goals should always be ensuring broad and equitable inclusion in our endeavors\, and open access and iterative use of what has been found for research\, resource management\, and public education. Examples of how such work has and can proceed are examined\, from a perspective shaped primarily from work in the southeastern United States\, where the author has spent much of his career. In addition to site and locality specific research\, the nature and status of larger scale data compilation efforts are examined\, such as PIDBA (Paleoindian Database of the Americas) and DINAA (Digital Index of North American Archaeology). Primary lessons are that archaeology is a collaborative endeavor\, requiring the work of many parties\, and the maintenance of these communities\, and the information they generate\, in perpetuity\, is essential.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Cutting Costs or Cutting Corners: Asset Reallocation in Oil and Gas Production
DESCRIPTION:Cutting Costs or Cutting Corners: Asset Reallocation in Oil and Gas Production\nwith Sarah Armitage and Judson Boomhower\n\nAbstract:\nReallocation of assets across firms can lead to efficiency gains\, but it can also lead to distortions via rent-seeking. We examine the link between asset reallocation and rent-seeking enabled by differences in the expected cost of environmental liabilities. Focusing on the US oil and gas industry\, we develop a conceptual framework that incorporates both firm specialization in well types and the judgment-proof problem\, by which undercapitalized firms can avoid environmental liabilities. We then build a novel dataset with hundreds of thousands of well transfers over 1992 to 2023\, showing that oil and gas wells are transferred frequently\, particularly as they age and their revenues decline. Moreover\, low-value wells are especially likely to be transferred to low-value firms. Transferred wells produce similar amounts in later years\, but are less likely to be plugged -- thus posing greater environmental risk. We conclude with policy implications related to well plugging\, bonding requirements\, and decarbonization. \n\nBiography:\nCatie Hausman is a Professor in the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. She is an environmental and energy economist. Some of her recent areas of research include electricity transmission policy\; the natural gas sector's role in methane leaks\; the economic damages from climate change\; and inequality in pollution exposure.\n\nFor the most up to date information on the location\, please check the related link the week of this event

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Cosmo Whyte
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCosmo Whyte is an interdisciplinary artist working across drawing\, installation\, photography\, and sculpture. His research-driven practice examines interstitial subjectivity through intimate and public archives\, Black spatiality\, and practices of resistance. His work is organized around two interconnected approaches: The Archive as Threshold / Site of Disturbance and Migration as Refuge / Refusal. The first considers the archive not as a fixed repository but as a constrained structure shaped by embedded histories\, asking how its limits might be unsettled and reactivated. The second frames migration as an open-ended\, unfinished process that disrupts stable notions of identity and belonging.\n\nBeginning with an interrogation of his own racialized and gendered body and the personal memories embedded within it\, Whyte uses the intimate archive as an entry point into broader collective and political questions. His work challenges the archive as a force that seeks to fix and preserve history\, instead exploring how its boundaries might be breached to reveal the complexities\, contradictions\, and lived experiences contained within. Through this process\, he considers migration not simply as movement from one place to another\, but as an ongoing condition of refuge\, refusal\, and transformation.\n\n Whyte’s work has been presented in solo exhibitions at The Arts Club of Chicago\, Anat Ebgi (Los Angeles)\, Lux Art Institute\, MOCA GA\, and Johnson Lowe Gallery\, among others. His work has also been featured in group exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago\, El Museo del Barrio’s LA TRIENAL\, Prospect.5 New Orleans\, The Drawing Center\, the 13th Havana Biennial\, and the High Museum of Art. His honors include awards from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Harpo Foundation\, Artadia\, Art Matters\, the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation\, the MOCA GA Working Artist Program Award\, the Edge Award\, and the Dartmouth College Artist-in-Residence Award. Whyte is the area head of painting/ drawing and an associate professor in UCLA’s Department of Art. He earned an MFA from the University of Michigan’s Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.\n\nCoinciding with his Penny Stamps Speaker Series appearance\, Stamps Gallery will present Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye\, an ambitious\, mid-career survey exhibition\, from September 11–December 12\, 2026. Directly after Whyte’s September 24 presentation\, an artist Q&A and exhibition reception will take place at Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.) from 6:30-8:30 p.m. \n\nPresented in partnership with the U-M Stamps Gallery.\n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.\n\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.
