SUMMARY:Exhibition:Camille Ann Brewer\, MFA\, MLIS
DESCRIPTION:Camille Ann Brewer lives and works in the City of Detroit\, Michigan.  Through the process of textile construction\, Brewer’s artwork intersects cartographic and photographic images that speak to specific spaces and time. Weaving together of physical place\, memory with time is the core subject of this body of work.  \n\nThe artwork is built with time-period paper maps\, which illustrate spatial geography and political territory\; along with paper-collaged images of people\, places and things\, which tie directly to the history and human relationships in space.  In patterns that support the artwork’s theme\, the two disparate paper elements are then woven together to create a serendipitous making and aesthetic experience.

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:Comics Beyond Sight
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit covers a variety of creative approaches to comics visual accessibility\, and by extension visual accessibility broadly. Those approaches range from multimedia (audio and textual descriptions) through multidimensional and emerging technologies strategies (3D printing\, haptics\, and screen-based mobile touch interfaces). It demonstrates that comics can be made accessible. Learn about the international efforts of innovators in the realm of comics accessibility for those who are blind or have low vision\, assembled by the Accessible Comics Collective at San Francisco State University (SFSU) with the expertise of blind access professionals. \n\nEmily Beitiks was the accessibility lead for the content creation of the exhibit. She is the co-director for the San Francisco Disability Cultural Center (the first civically funded disability culture center on the planet!)\, and prior to that\, the director of the Longmore Institute on Disability. \n\nNick Sousanis (SFSU)\, the lead creative organizer of the exhibit\, is a Detroit native and was the first person to draw his dissertation in comics format\, subsequently published as the graphic novel Unflattening.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open\, and join us for an opening presentation on Friday\, October 2nd\, 1:00pm - 4:00pm.

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:Lila Kadaj Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lila Kadaj received her MFA from Wayne State University. Her work has been shown at numerous institutions\, including the Detroit Institute of Arts\, the Cranbrook Art Museum\, and the Arab American National Museum.  She spent nearly 27 years teaching art at Detroit Public schools.\n\nArtist statement: “When looking at a beautiful flower.  It’s just itself.  Just there......no .....it does not proclaim its purpose for blooming is to make people happy. It just is. Like standing in front of an easel and painting........just is.......no matter......what proclamations may be concluded to sway the viewer. Same thing goes for fine art.  It’s not about I am a woman....it’s not about I am a first generation Arab American.....it’s not about being a child of trauma....it’s not about a member of my family being gunned down on the street....it’s about being born a painter.....standing in front of my easel and working to create a \"Piece of Fine Art\". Not standing on some soap box and expecting my words to somehow qualify my painting. It’s the painting\, drawing or sculpture that must speak on its own.......on how the artist......via the intellect and muse uses the elements to create something distinct and first rate.   It can be quiet or loud. I see so much very weak work uplifted not for its quality but because it’s in fashion.”

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:Memory and Memorial Culture Across Central Eurasia Workshop
DESCRIPTION:How has and does memory – familial\, national\, or imperial – impact understandings of the Centra Eurasia’s past by defining\, changing\, and erasing topics of investigation? How does memory – through recollections\, reminisces\, and retellings – shift\, change\, and morph through different historical periods and conjunctures? How might we consider “the sites of memory” – be they shrines\, museums\, gallery spaces – as enacting a shaping function onto the minds and memories of their visitors? How does the memory of events – of the Qing conquest of the Dzungars\, of the Andijan uprising of 1898\, of Tajikistan’s Civil War – prove capable creating\, defining\, and delineating group identities? \n\nThis workshop\, presented by the U-M Department of History and the Central Eurasian Studies Society\, will be held on October 19-20\, 2026. Graduate students and early career scholars (PhD conferred in the last 5 years) will share their works-in-progress to receive critical feedback.\n\nThank you to our sponsors: Center for Russian\, East European\, & Eurasian Studies\, Department of History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Global Islamic Studies Center\, Humanities Institute\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, LSA Graduate Student Funding\, Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Birth Joy
DESCRIPTION:Black Birth Joy by Tiana Lashae documents birth as a deeply personal story of connection\, courage\, tenderness\, and joy. The photographs and stories in the exhibit challenge mainstream narratives that reduce Black birth to statistics and only amplify Black pregnant women's anxiety and hesitancy about navigating the maternal health care system. Instead\, the exhibit offers evidence of joy\, reminders of possibility\, and a visual legacy for generations to come. \n \nBlack Birth Joy was born from Lashae's belief that more positive birth stories of BIPOC families need to be seen and heard\, and her photographs invite viewers to witness the people behind them: the mothers\, babies\, partners\, families\, and birthworkers. They create space for BIPOC families to see themselves represented with dignity and to witness the full range of birth experiences. Lashae's photographs also create a tangible record that can support conversations around quality of medical care\, respectful treatment\, and patient rights. The exhibit empowers women to prioritize and advocate for their birth experiences while also encouraging perinatal health professionals and birthworkers to center the humanity\, dignity\, and individual experiences of patients and families. \n\nThe exhibit comprises over 30 photographs as well as stories of mothers whose births were documented by Lashae\, a doula and birth/newborn photographer whose work has been published in Everyday Birth Magazine\, an international publication. The physical exhibit is accompanied by a virtual component that encourages audiences to engage with each mother's birth story.\n\nThe Lane Hall Exhibit Space is sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) at the University of Michigan. \n\nBlack Birth Joy\nThursday\, October 1\, 2026 – Friday\, January 15\, 2027\nLane Hall Exhibit Space\, 204 S State St.\, Ann Arbor\, MI\nOpen M–F\, 9AM–5PM

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: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:Workshop / Seminar:Avoiding Assumptions & Normalizing Disability
DESCRIPTION:This webinar has been postponed. We apologize for the inconvenience.\n\n\n\n\nJoin this practical\, perspective-shifting workshop to explore how everyday assumptions can unintentionally undermine disability inclusion. Together\, we’ll examine common misconceptions—such as assuming someone using a mobility cane needs assistance\, or that two people with the same diagnosis will have the same needs—and consider how these assumptions can shape our interactions. \n\nParticipants will learn how viewing disability as a natural part of human diversity can help us respond with greater respect\, awareness\, and openness. This workshop offers an opportunity to reflect\, challenge assumptions\, and build more inclusive practices in everyday settings.\n\nAmerican Sign Language (ASL) interpreting services and Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) captioning services will be provided. If you need additional accommodations to participate in this webinar\, please email the ADA Coordinator at ADAcoordinator@umich.edu.

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:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: The Power of Beliefs: How Seven Core Beliefs Shape Performance\, Well-Being\, and Collective Thriving\nSpeaker: Shawn Achor\nTuesday\, October 20\, 2026\n1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET\nFree and Online | Registration required to obtain login information\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/pgM7k\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, running for over 22 years with 165 sessions\, is one of the most-watched speaker series at Michigan Ross. Positive Links features distinguished scholars sharing leading ideas in the science of thriving. Learn how to ignite the science of extraordinary organizations catalyzed by human thriving\, together with our community of researchers\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nThis session explores a question at the center of Shawn Achor’s newest research: how much do the beliefs people hold about themselves\, their work\, and their world shape what happens next? Drawing on two decades of research across 51 countries — and work spanning Fortune 100 companies\, NASA\, the NFL\, public school systems\, and six battalions of Marines — Achor introduces a set of seven core beliefs he has found to be most consistently linked to performance\, health\, and well-being\, ranging from the belief that one’s behavior matters to the belief that one’s work is meaningful. He situates these findings against what he calls the Great Drift — the concurrent rise of burnout\, anxiety\, loneliness\, and depression — and argues that as technology has grown more powerful\, beliefs have become more predictive\, not less. You will leave with several research-tested strategies for shifting limiting beliefs in yourself and others\, and a framework for understanding how belief change spreads through teams and organizations.\n\nAbout Achor:\nShawn Achor is the New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage and Big Potential. Shawn graduated magna cum laude from Harvard and earned a master’s from Harvard Divinity School in Christian and Buddhist ethics. After spending 12 years at Harvard\, Shawn traveled to 50 countries studying how to create an interconnected approach to potential and happiness. He has now worked with over a third of the Fortune 100 companies\, and at places like NASA\, the NFL\, and the Pentagon. Shawn has battle-tested his research in high-challenge environments\, from working with all the public schools in Flint\, Michigan\, to six battalions of Marines at Camp Pendleton\, to government leaders at Camp David\, to students in a shantytown in Soweto\, South Africa\, to hospitals in the wake of a mass shooting in Orlando and the Boston bombing. In every place\, Shawn has found that optimism can be increased through mindset and behavioral change\, and that by creating an interconnected approach to happiness and success\, we shine brighter together. Shawn’s research made the cover of Harvard Business Review\, his TED Talk is one of the most popular of all time with over 20 million views\, and his lecture airing on PBS has been seen by millions.\n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nPositive Links Speaker Series Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2026-27 Positive Links Speaker Series.\n\nPositive Links Series Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Distribution of Federally-Insured Mortgages\, 1935-1975: Evidence from Local Land Records (with Jacob Faber\, Andreas Ferrara\, Jonathan Rose\, Thomas Storrs\, Katherine Thomas\, Gabrielle Toborg\, Randall Walsh\, and Wenfei Xu)
DESCRIPTION:This project develops a novel dataset of federally-insured mortgages from 1935 to 1975 by digitizing local land records from county recorders of deeds across a geographically diverse set of U.S. counties. Despite the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Veterans Administration (VA) programs accounting for up to 50% of all mortgages for some years during this period\, systematic borrower-level data has been unavailable due to a lack of federal records and decentralized county recording systems. Using a new pipeline that deploys large language models to digitize scanned mortgages\, we identify and extract information from FHA-insured and VA-guaranteed mortgages\, geolocate properties\, and link borrowers to full-count Census data from 1940 and 1950. This produces the first comprehensive address- and borrower-level dataset beyond 1940. We investigate the share of Black borrowers among FHA and VA mortgage recipients\, characterize the spatial distribution of mortgages across neighborhoods that vary in racial composition and HOLC ratings\, and examine the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of borrowers. The analysis enhances our understanding of how federal housing policy shaped metropolitan development and racial inequality during the New Deal and Civil Rights eras.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:History in a Time of Forgetting
DESCRIPTION:What do we — as individuals\, communities\, and members of a nation — choose to remember? What\, or who\, is erased from accounts of our shared past? And who benefits from the official and unofficial narratives constructed about the nation’s collective history? \n\nIn 2026\, as the country celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, the current presidential administration has taken concerted steps to shape and disseminate a very specific version of the nation’s history. Notably\, their efforts involve limiting the stories that are told about our past to conceal difficult truths\, ignoring real complexities from the historical record\, undermining the difficult work of historical research\, and seeking to avoid the processes of interpreting and discussing the meaning of our past. But we can also see the resistance to this rewriting and its erasures in the persistence of existing histories\, as well as the continued proliferation of alternate histories in a variety of spheres and locations that are not subject to governmental control.\n\nThis webinar accompanies the publication of Spark Magazine’s upcoming series\, “History in a Time of Forgetting\,” which grapples with what it means to engage in and uplift historical research amid the present national climate. The online webinar will feature series curators Jennifer Brady and Camron Michael Amin\, from the University of Michigan's Inclusive History Project\, in conversation with series contributors Elisa Alfonso\, David Porter\, S. Shani Saunders\, and Tenisha Tevis. These writers take a range of approaches to history and remembering\, exploring pop culture analysis\, community storykeeping\, personal history\, and public pedagogy.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mechanistic Insights into Metal-Protein Interactions: Implications for Neurodegenerative Disease Progression and Intervention
DESCRIPTION:Elevated levels of protein expression and aberrant metal exposure have been reported in many neurodegenerative diseases\, including Huntington’s Disease (HD). While there is currently no cure for HD\, metal chelation therapies have been shown to assuage disease symptoms including chorea. These observations underscore the critical need to understand how metal-protein interactions are involved in disease pathogenesis. Our objective in this work is to elucidate the role of copper (Cu) and other biorelevant metals in HD and\, more specifically\, their interactions with the huntingtin protein (htt). We aimed to characterize the Cu-htt interaction and speciation trends in our in vitro HD system\, as well as the influence of disease-relevant Cu concentrations on protein oligomerization/aggregation both in vitro and in vivo. We utilized multiple spectroscopic techniques (circular dichroism\, electron paramagnetic resonance\, UV-Vis absorption\, dynamic light scattering\, and mass spectrometry) that cover a broad range of energy scales\, allowing us to characterize protein structure at the molecular\, secondary structure\, and quaternary structure levels. Additionally\, site-directed mutagenesis of several putative metal binding residues was used to define the roles of specific amino acids in mediating oligomerization/aggregation\, metal binding\, and redox chemistry. Taken together\, our work has led to the first report of multiple copper binding sites in non-pathological htt and provides insight into one pathway for depletion of native htt pools that may contribute to HD.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Camille Ann Brewer\, MFA\, MLIS
DESCRIPTION:Camille Ann Brewer lives and works in the City of Detroit\, Michigan.  Through the process of textile construction\, Brewer’s artwork intersects cartographic and photographic images that speak to specific spaces and time. Weaving together of physical place\, memory with time is the core subject of this body of work.  \n\nThe artwork is built with time-period paper maps\, which illustrate spatial geography and political territory\; along with paper-collaged images of people\, places and things\, which tie directly to the history and human relationships in space.  In patterns that support the artwork’s theme\, the two disparate paper elements are then woven together to create a serendipitous making and aesthetic experience.

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:Comics Beyond Sight
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit covers a variety of creative approaches to comics visual accessibility\, and by extension visual accessibility broadly. Those approaches range from multimedia (audio and textual descriptions) through multidimensional and emerging technologies strategies (3D printing\, haptics\, and screen-based mobile touch interfaces). It demonstrates that comics can be made accessible. Learn about the international efforts of innovators in the realm of comics accessibility for those who are blind or have low vision\, assembled by the Accessible Comics Collective at San Francisco State University (SFSU) with the expertise of blind access professionals. \n\nEmily Beitiks was the accessibility lead for the content creation of the exhibit. She is the co-director for the San Francisco Disability Cultural Center (the first civically funded disability culture center on the planet!)\, and prior to that\, the director of the Longmore Institute on Disability. \n\nNick Sousanis (SFSU)\, the lead creative organizer of the exhibit\, is a Detroit native and was the first person to draw his dissertation in comics format\, subsequently published as the graphic novel Unflattening.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open\, and join us for an opening presentation on Friday\, October 2nd\, 1:00pm - 4:00pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lila Kadaj Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lila Kadaj received her MFA from Wayne State University. Her work has been shown at numerous institutions\, including the Detroit Institute of Arts\, the Cranbrook Art Museum\, and the Arab American National Museum.  She spent nearly 27 years teaching art at Detroit Public schools.\n\nArtist statement: “When looking at a beautiful flower.  It’s just itself.  Just there......no .....it does not proclaim its purpose for blooming is to make people happy. It just is. Like standing in front of an easel and painting........just is.......no matter......what proclamations may be concluded to sway the viewer. Same thing goes for fine art.  It’s not about I am a woman....it’s not about I am a first generation Arab American.....it’s not about being a child of trauma....it’s not about a member of my family being gunned down on the street....it’s about being born a painter.....standing in front of my easel and working to create a \"Piece of Fine Art\". Not standing on some soap box and expecting my words to somehow qualify my painting. It’s the painting\, drawing or sculpture that must speak on its own.......on how the artist......via the intellect and muse uses the elements to create something distinct and first rate.   It can be quiet or loud. I see so much very weak work uplifted not for its quality but because it’s in fashion.”

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:Black Birth Joy
DESCRIPTION:Black Birth Joy by Tiana Lashae documents birth as a deeply personal story of connection\, courage\, tenderness\, and joy. The photographs and stories in the exhibit challenge mainstream narratives that reduce Black birth to statistics and only amplify Black pregnant women's anxiety and hesitancy about navigating the maternal health care system. Instead\, the exhibit offers evidence of joy\, reminders of possibility\, and a visual legacy for generations to come. \n \nBlack Birth Joy was born from Lashae's belief that more positive birth stories of BIPOC families need to be seen and heard\, and her photographs invite viewers to witness the people behind them: the mothers\, babies\, partners\, families\, and birthworkers. They create space for BIPOC families to see themselves represented with dignity and to witness the full range of birth experiences. Lashae's photographs also create a tangible record that can support conversations around quality of medical care\, respectful treatment\, and patient rights. The exhibit empowers women to prioritize and advocate for their birth experiences while also encouraging perinatal health professionals and birthworkers to center the humanity\, dignity\, and individual experiences of patients and families. \n\nThe exhibit comprises over 30 photographs as well as stories of mothers whose births were documented by Lashae\, a doula and birth/newborn photographer whose work has been published in Everyday Birth Magazine\, an international publication. The physical exhibit is accompanied by a virtual component that encourages audiences to engage with each mother's birth story.\n\nThe Lane Hall Exhibit Space is sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) at the University of Michigan. \n\nBlack Birth Joy\nThursday\, October 1\, 2026 – Friday\, January 15\, 2027\nLane Hall Exhibit Space\, 204 S State St.\, Ann Arbor\, MI\nOpen M–F\, 9AM–5PM

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:Exhibition:Small Works: Prints & Book Objects from Detroit\, 2020–2026
DESCRIPTION:Small Works\nPrints & Book Objects from Detroit 2020–2026\n\nOctober 21 - November 19 \nPublic Reception: Friday\, November 13 from 4:30-6pm.\n\nSmall Works was a print shop ran by Li Chen & Gerald Schulze\, in Detroit\, MI\, from 2020–2026. Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant\, and later studio manager\, in 2024. Over those six years\, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year\, open studio for the public\, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026\, they decided to expand community programming\, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works\, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop\, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community\, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works\, by their studiomates Diskette Press\, the publisher Maamoul Press\, and by the community that uses the space.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MORE Committee Workshop: Getting Your Mentoring Relationship Off to a Good Start (Student Registration)
DESCRIPTION:Created by the MORE Committee\, these workshops are designed to strengthen the student–faculty mentoring relationship through the development of shared expectations\, sharing mentoring best practices\, and understanding of mentoring across differences.\n\nThe Getting Your Mentoring Relationship Off to a Good Start Workshop is attended jointly by faculty mentors and their graduate student mentees. Mentors and mentees first participate in separate parallel sessions\, where they reflect on their own goals\, working styles\, and approaches to common challenges. Afterwards\, each student–faculty pair collaborates to create a written mentoring plan that outlines key elements such as needs\, objectives\, and mutual expectations. Among Rackham doctoral students who have drafted mentoring plans\, 83 percent report finding them helpful. Mentoring pairs are encouraged to consider attending the optional one-on-one discussion time at the end of the workshop\, where they have dedicated time to work together on developing the mentoring plan.\n\nSeparate registration for faculty is available at: https://myumi.ch/61V6J.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reverie: The Student-led Exhibition Committee Fall 2026 Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nA reverie is a state between waking and dreaming\, a moment when the mind drifts beyond the immediate. It is a space where memory\, imagination\, desire\, and reality can overlap\, distort\, and take on new forms. In these moments\, the familiar can become strange\, and the ordinary can become something unexpected.\n\nReverie brings together student works that explore the space between what is known and what is felt. Across painting\, oil pastel\, ceramic\, digital art\, animation\, and mixed media\, the artists move through imagined landscapes\, intimate encounters\, memories\, figures\, and fragments of the everyday. These works blur the boundaries between observation and imagination\, allowing emotion and perception to reshape what we recognize.\n\nRather than depicting dreams literally\, Reverie considers dreaming as a way of seeing. The works reflect moments of escape\, introspection\, fantasy\, and transformation\, where the subconscious can surface and reality becomes open to interpretation. \n\nReverie was conceived and curated by members of the Student-led Exhibition Committee (SEC)\, and features work by eight SEC members at the Stamps School of Art & Design. The exhibition includes ten works across oil on canvas\, oil pastel\, ceramic\, digital art\, digital animation\, and mixed media.

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Faculty Forum with Justine Davis\, Assistant Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies and Political Science
DESCRIPTION:Faculty members of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies discuss their projects\, research\, and publications to share their work and interests. The DAAS Faculty Forum will be held monthly on Wednesdays at noon.\n\nOctober 21: Justine Davis\, Assistant Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies\; Assistant Professor of Political Science \nDual Citizenship & Dueling Loyalties: Perceptions of Politicians from the Diaspora\n\nAbstract:\n\nHow do citizens perceive and respond to dual citizenship and diaspora policies\, particularly pertaining to politicians who have ties to multiple countries? This project entails a multi-country survey and experimental design in Côte d'Ivoire and Liberia on public opinion about dual citizenship. Given the growing political and economic influence of the African diaspora\, the rights and roles of dual citizens have become increasingly contentious. Using a descriptive survey and a conjoint experiment\, we explore when and why citizens support dual citizenship\, how they respond to diaspora politicians\, and how they view the role dual citizens and the broader diaspora play in the economic and democratic development of their countries.\n\nBio:\n\n​I am an assistant professor jointly appointed in the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the Political Science Department at the University of Michigan. Prior to this position\, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan and a UC Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California\, San Diego.

In particular\, I am interested in the challenges of democratization efforts in post-conflict settings and weakly institutionalized democracies.\n\nMy book\, No Neutral Ground\, forthcoming with Cambridge University Press\, examines the role of non-governmental organizations in fostering democracy after civil war.\n\nMy research has been supported by the Carnegie Corporation\; the National Science Foundation\; the West Africa Research Association\; the Human Rights Center at UC Berkeley\; and the Center for African Studies\, the Peder Sather Center for Advanced Study\, and the Institute for International Studies at UC Berkeley. My work has been featured on the Washington Post’s Monkey Cage and published or forthcoming in African Affairs\, Comparative Political Studies\, Journal of Conflict Resolution\, Journal of Politics\, Party Politics\, Political Behavior\, and PS: Political Science & Politics.\n\n At the University of Michigan\, I am an associate at the African Studies Center and a faculty associate at the Center for Political Studies. I am a member of Evidence and Governance in Politics\, a research associate at the Center on the Politics of Development\,  a co-coordinator of the Midwest Workshop in Empirical Political Science\, a Ford Foundation Pre-Doctoral Fellow\, and an APSA Diversity Fellow.  I was also part of the 2023 Inaugural Class for The Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS)\, Summer Institute on Diversity Science\, at Stanford University. \n\nPrior to obtaining my Ph.D.\, I completed a Fulbright-Clinton Public Policy Fellowship in Côte d’Ivoire.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Math Biology Working Group: Topological Data Analysis and Applications for Biology
DESCRIPTION:Topological data analysis (TDA) is a field which combines topology\, geometry\, statistics\, and computer science to answer questions about data through shape analysis. Taking from algebraic topology\, for any given data set\, one can construct simplicial complexes and compute topological invariants. In this talk\, I plan to give an overview of the tools commonly used in TDA and talk about some of my favorite applications including in cancer research\, neuroscience\, and population biology. If there is enough time I will also talk about useful software that exists for you to apply these tools too!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Still Shaking the Table
DESCRIPTION:Identity-center professionals work at the intersection of student support\, advocacy\, education\, and institutional change. As higher education becomes increasingly politicized and constrained\, these practitioners must navigate evolving student needs\, institutional pressures\, and challenges to diversity\, equity\, and inclusion while sustaining their own well-being.\n\nDrawing from Still Shaking the Table: Activism\, Unity\, and Supporting Students\, this webinar explores the changing role of identity-center practitioners as advocates\, coalition-builders\, educators\, and institutional leaders. Co-editors Jonathan A. McElderry and Stephanie Hernandez Rivera will join contributing authors Susan Harper\, Heather D. Shea\, and Brandi Wells-Stone to consider how practitioners build cross-campus partnerships\, respond to political and organizational challenges\, and support students with diverse and intersecting identities.\n\nThe conversation will examine strategies for sustaining justice-oriented leadership through critical hope\, collective care\, and intentional reflection. Panelists will also discuss what colleges and universities must do to move beyond performative or symbolic commitments toward meaningful institutional support for identity centers\, their staff\, and the students they serve.\n\nJoin us for a timely conversation about activism\, coalition-building\, institutional responsibility\, and the future of identity-center work in higher education.\n\n\nModerators:\n\n\nJonathan A. McElderry\, PhD\n\nJonathan A. McElderry\, PhD (he/him)\, is a nationally recognized scholar\, speaker\, and higher education leader whose work centers on advancing student success\, inclusive excellence\, and organizational transformation. He serves as dean of student inclusive excellence\, assistant professor of education\, and acting director of the master of higher education program at Elon University. Most recently\, he completed his term as the 86th president of ACPA–College Student Educators International.\n\nA first-generation college graduate\, McElderry’s scholarship and professional practice focus on the experiences of historically marginalized students\, leadership in higher education\, mentoring\, and belonging. He has authored more than 20 scholarly publications and co-edited two books examining antiracism and the experiences of identity-center practitioners. Through his scholarship\, national leadership\, and commitment to mentoring the next generation of higher education professionals\, McElderry continues to influence policy\, practice\, and the future of the profession.\n\n\nStephanie Hernandez Rivera\, PhD\n\nStephanie Hernandez Rivera\, PhD (she/ella)\, is a Puerto Rican woman and race-gender higher education scholar and educator. She is an assistant professor in Elon University’s Master of Arts in Higher Education Program and the endowed Dr. Jo Watts Williams School of Education Emerging Professor. Hernandez Rivera has experience as a higher education practitioner and administrator working to advance equity and inclusion in various capacities.\n\nUsing critical cultural methodologies\, her research examines how equity and inclusion work is operationalized in higher education\, the resistance strategies of students\, faculty\, and staff\, and how oppressive systems of power emerge at the micro and meso levels to affect the psychological well-being of communities of Color. Her scholarship has appeared in the Journal of Higher Education\, Journal of Diversity in Higher Education\, Journal of Women and Gender in Higher Education\, and The Journal of Negro Education\, among other publications.\n\n\nContributing Authors:\n\n\nSusan Harper\, PhD\n\nSusan Harper\, PhD\, serves as co-curricular student development director in Multicultural Student Affairs at Iowa State University\, where she designs curricula and developmental experiences for students in the George Washington Carver Scholastic Leadership Scholarship and First Cyclone Scholarship learning communities.\n\nHarper previously served as director of the Center for LGBTQIA+ Student Success at Iowa State until the center’s closure in 2024.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NACADA Webinar: Deconstructing Burnout in Advising
DESCRIPTION:Join the ACUM Wellness Committee to watch and discuss the NACADA Webinar: Deconstructing Burnout in Advising. THIS IS NOW A HYBRID EVENT! Join us in person\, in the Honors Lounge - 1330 Mason Hall\, OR on Zoom https://umich.zoom.us/j/4188166657\, on Wednesday\, October 21\, from 2pm EST - 3:20pm EST.This session will explore\, unpack\, and deconstruct burnout through perspectives and experiences of advisors from various geographic and institutional settings. Advising work may be close to our hearts\, but there’s a limit to how much space and energy one can give when passion\, a student focus\, and self-care are inadequate to prevent burnout. Framed by the 12 stages of burnout and the concept of emotional labor\, panelists will examine how higher education fosters certain types of burnout that impact advisors and the profession. Participants will be encouraged to consider their spheres of influence as advisors\, managers\, and colleagues as we seek to interrupt\, intervene\, and reframe burnout to address its root causes and learn how the profession can support advisors in this era of change.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Business and Tax Consequences of Couple Separations
DESCRIPTION:Household wealth held in private businesses supports both family finance and production. We study how relationship dissolution and property-division rules affect these businesses using Canadian administrative data linking couples\, firm ownership\, individual tax returns\, and corporate balance sheets. A matched event study of couples who jointly own a business shows that separation shifts ownership toward male partners and away from female partners. Firms experience large and persistent declines in assets\, employment\, profits\, and corporate tax liabilities. Male partners' personal income and tax liabilities rise\, while female partners' fall. Comparing jointly owned businesses with solely owned businesses across legal married and common-law couples\, we find larger contractions where partners have stronger claims on business wealth\, consistent with asset division contributing to firm contraction. We then exploit British Columbia's 2013 expansion of equal property-division rights to common-law partners. The reform produces a small but noisy decline in separation rates\, alongside increases in firm size and performance. Together\, our findings suggest that dividing business wealth upon separation can constrain production and shift income across corporate and personal tax bases. Family law therefore has effects that reach beyond the household as it changes not only the allocation of household wealth but also the scale and performance of private businesses.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: From stability conditions to generalized Bogomolov-Gieseker inequalities
DESCRIPTION:The classical Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality provides a bound on the second Chern character of semistable sheaves\, which is an essential ingredient in the construction of stability conditions on surfaces. Generalizing this\, Bayer-Macrì-Toda proposed to use a conjectural ch_3 inequality for tilt stable objects to construct stability conditions on threefolds. This inequality found many applications ranging from counting invariants to linear series\, but people were only able to prove it in special cases.\n\nThe recent breakthrough of Chunyi Li provides a different route to construct stability conditions over any projective variety. In my talk\, I will recall this beautiful idea\, and explain that\, via an enhancement of Li’s construction together with some reverse-engineering\, we can produce a series of inequalities on any Chern characters for suitable objects on any variety\, with Bogomolov-Gieseker and Bayer-Macrì-Toda as the first two instances. This is based on joint work in progress with Chunyi Li\, Zhiyu Liu and Benjamin Sung.\n\nIf time permits\, I will also discuss a strengthen of this result for ch_3 inequality using Frobenius method\, based on joint work with Chunyi Li\, Zhiyu Liu and Alex Perry. Parts of these projects are AI-assisted\, which will be explained in the talk.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Probability and Analysis Seminar: Small Moments of the Sensitivity of Polynomial Threshold Functions
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Polynomial threshold functions (PTFs) are a central class of Boolean functions with important roles in learning theory and approximation. A fundamental question is to understand the complexity of their behavior under small perturbations of the input. On the Boolean cube\, this is captured by notions such as sensitivity\, average sensitivity\, and Boolean surface area. In this talk\, we revisit a recursive approach used to derive bounds for the average sensitivity and Boolean surface area of PTFs and obtain a polylogarithmic bound for small moments of their sensitivity. We will also explore the interplay between Fourier expansion and induction on scales from harmonic analysis\, random averaging from probability\, and decision trees and regularization from combinatorics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Stochastic Models and Optimization for Dynamic Portfolio Management: A Compartment Framework for Financial Growth and Decision Support
DESCRIPTION:Portfolio management is a dynamic decision-making problem characterized by uncertainty\, evolving asset states\, competing risk–return objectives\, and changing market conditions. This research develops an integrated stochastic and optimization framework for modelling financial growth and formulating investment policies by representing a portfolio as a dynamic compartmental system in which risky and non-risky assets undergo stochastic growth\, loss\, transformation\, and migration. Univariate and bivariate birth–death and migration processes\, together with Markov and hidden-state modelling perspectives\, are employed to characterize the probabilistic evolution and interactions of portfolio components.\n\nThe proposed framework systematically connects stochastic process modelling\, probability analysis\, statistical inference\, nonlinear optimization\, computational analysis\, and decision support. Difference and differential equations are developed to describe portfolio dynamics\, while probability-generating functions and moment-based methods are used to derive expectations\, variances\, covariances\, and related measures under transient and steady-state conditions. These statistical characteristics subsequently serve as inputs to stochastic optimization models that address alternative investment objectives\, including risk control\, volatility management\, portfolio diversification\, and the determination of appropriate investment policy parameters.\n\nComputational experimentation and sensitivity analysis are incorporated to examine the effects of growth\, loss\, and transformation parameters on portfolio behavior\, using real-world financial data to ground empirical exploration and model validation. The resulting framework provides a pathway from uncertainty modelling to quantitative risk assessment\, prescriptive optimization\, and intelligent decision support. The research is intended to stimulate interdisciplinary collaboration across Statistics\, Stochastic Processes\, Mathematical Finance\, Operations Research\, Optimization\, Data Science\, and Computational Modelling\, with potential applications in real-data validation\, software development\, joint publications\, and future research on scalable stochastic decision-support systems for contemporary financial management.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar:  Asymptotics of Stokes flow in slightly curved and slender cylindrical channels
DESCRIPTION:Flow through a network of interconnected channels creates ill-conditioned problems due to the multiply connected topology. Boundary integral equation methods are generally good tools in solving fluid problems by reducing degrees of freedom\, but it is less ideal to handle this ill-conditioning due to its non-local representation. A scattering theory has been proposed to address this in 2D by approximating branches in a network as straight channels\, in which the solution flow follow a \"rapid return to Poiseuille flow\" under pressure drop and no-slip wall condition [Wang 2026]. In this talk we will consider the applicability of this approximation in 3D by looking at the asymptotic problems of two specific cases of Stokes flow: when the cylinder is slightly curved (the Dean problem) and when the radius of the cylinder becomes exceedingly thin.\n\nReference: Haiyang Wang\, Fredrik Fryklund\, Samuel Potter\, and Leslie Greengard.

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: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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ukraine: Revolution\, Resistance\, Democracy
DESCRIPTION:About the talk: Why did Russia invade Ukraine? What explains the power of Ukrainian resistance? Sophia Wilson’s talk will be based on her book about the Ukrainian Maidan Revolution of 2013-14\, showing why it is impossible to understand Russia’s invasion of Ukraine without first understanding the Ukrainian pro-democratic grassroots movement and the rooting out of Russian puppet authoritarianism. Her study of the Ukrainian Revolution gives a carefully researched account of the underbelly of the revolutionary process\, investigating how participants self-organized to create the resistance\, why the peaceful movement eventually turned to violence\, and how the revolutionary process changed those who came to change the country. Wilson will discuss how the people resisted the state in multiple arenas – the protest square\, courtrooms\, hospitals\, churches\, and media – to successfully challenge the constitutionality of the state’s actions. She will also explain how the Kremlin propaganda about the Ukrainian democratic movement captures the essence of Russia’s motivation to suppress Ukraine’s sovereignty and democracy. \n\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Sophia Wilson is a Professor of Political Science at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville\, and the President of the American Association for Ukrainian Studies. Wilson received her Ph.D. from the University of Washington and held fellowships at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute\, Indiana University Law School\, and Weizenbaum Institute in Berlin. She taught at the Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute in 2017\, 2019 and 2025. Wilson's publications on human rights practices in authoritarian regimes are based on extensive fieldwork she conducted in Tajikistan\, Azerbaijan and Ukraine\, including multiple interviews with judges\, journalists and activists. Her book\, Maidan: Ukraine's Democratic Revolution is an extensive analysis of the grassroots 2013–2014 Revolution of Dignity\, which renegotiated the social contract and reaffirmed democracy in Ukraine. She is currently working on her new book\, Fascism vs. Communism: Ukraine under Three Occupations. Dr. Wilson has provided analysis for U.S. government agencies\, and commentary for broadcast and print media outlets on Ukraine and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. She was recognized by the Ukrainian government \"for leadership in the study and research of Ukrainian Studies in the United States of America\" in August 2024\, and awarded a Certificate of Recognition from the Global Coalition of Ukrainian Studies for her role in strengthening Ukraine's presence in the global academic community in 2025. \n\nThis lecture is part of the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures' series \"Ukraine Unbound: Culture\, Memory\, Resistance\".\nThe talks will be held in a hybrid format\, and they're hosted by Alex Averbuch\, Assistant Professor of Ukrainian Literature and Culture.\nThis talk is co-sponsored by Razom for Ukraine / Ukraine on Campus.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Evenings with OLLI: When Driving Changes: How Automation Keeps People Moving
DESCRIPTION:5:30-6pm - Refreshments and Socializing\n6-7pm - Program\n7-7:30pm - Q&A\n\nHow does our driving change as we age and how can automation benefit us? This presentation examines how technology\, particularly advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated functions\, can serve as a tool to support safe mobility in later life. We critically look at technologies and assess how they benefit drivers. Results highlight high availability of ADAS among older drivers but also gaps in training and understanding that may limit safety benefits. \n\nDr. Renée St. Louis is the Head of the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute's (UMTRI) Behavioral Sciences Group\, studying social and behavioral factors shaping transportation safety and mobility across the lifespan. She leads research with diverse participants and has co-authored a book on older adult mobility. \n\nDr. Arpan Kusari is an UMTRI research faculty focused on robust challenges in vehicle automation. He partners with federal agencies and industry to assess sensing and perception\, earning AAAI-2026 Best Poster among other awards.\n\n*The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at U-M provides educational opportunities for older adults\, designed by older adults. Membership is intended for all enthusiastic learners aged 50 and older\, regardless of previous education or affiliation with U-M.*

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Camille Ann Brewer\, MFA\, MLIS
DESCRIPTION:Camille Ann Brewer lives and works in the City of Detroit\, Michigan.  Through the process of textile construction\, Brewer’s artwork intersects cartographic and photographic images that speak to specific spaces and time. Weaving together of physical place\, memory with time is the core subject of this body of work.  \n\nThe artwork is built with time-period paper maps\, which illustrate spatial geography and political territory\; along with paper-collaged images of people\, places and things\, which tie directly to the history and human relationships in space.  In patterns that support the artwork’s theme\, the two disparate paper elements are then woven together to create a serendipitous making and aesthetic experience.

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:Comics Beyond Sight
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit covers a variety of creative approaches to comics visual accessibility\, and by extension visual accessibility broadly. Those approaches range from multimedia (audio and textual descriptions) through multidimensional and emerging technologies strategies (3D printing\, haptics\, and screen-based mobile touch interfaces). It demonstrates that comics can be made accessible. Learn about the international efforts of innovators in the realm of comics accessibility for those who are blind or have low vision\, assembled by the Accessible Comics Collective at San Francisco State University (SFSU) with the expertise of blind access professionals. \n\nEmily Beitiks was the accessibility lead for the content creation of the exhibit. She is the co-director for the San Francisco Disability Cultural Center (the first civically funded disability culture center on the planet!)\, and prior to that\, the director of the Longmore Institute on Disability. \n\nNick Sousanis (SFSU)\, the lead creative organizer of the exhibit\, is a Detroit native and was the first person to draw his dissertation in comics format\, subsequently published as the graphic novel Unflattening.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open\, and join us for an opening presentation on Friday\, October 2nd\, 1:00pm - 4:00pm.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lila Kadaj Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lila Kadaj received her MFA from Wayne State University. Her work has been shown at numerous institutions\, including the Detroit Institute of Arts\, the Cranbrook Art Museum\, and the Arab American National Museum.  She spent nearly 27 years teaching art at Detroit Public schools.\n\nArtist statement: “When looking at a beautiful flower.  It’s just itself.  Just there......no .....it does not proclaim its purpose for blooming is to make people happy. It just is. Like standing in front of an easel and painting........just is.......no matter......what proclamations may be concluded to sway the viewer. Same thing goes for fine art.  It’s not about I am a woman....it’s not about I am a first generation Arab American.....it’s not about being a child of trauma....it’s not about a member of my family being gunned down on the street....it’s about being born a painter.....standing in front of my easel and working to create a \"Piece of Fine Art\". Not standing on some soap box and expecting my words to somehow qualify my painting. It’s the painting\, drawing or sculpture that must speak on its own.......on how the artist......via the intellect and muse uses the elements to create something distinct and first rate.   It can be quiet or loud. I see so much very weak work uplifted not for its quality but because it’s in fashion.”

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:Black Birth Joy
DESCRIPTION:Black Birth Joy by Tiana Lashae documents birth as a deeply personal story of connection\, courage\, tenderness\, and joy. The photographs and stories in the exhibit challenge mainstream narratives that reduce Black birth to statistics and only amplify Black pregnant women's anxiety and hesitancy about navigating the maternal health care system. Instead\, the exhibit offers evidence of joy\, reminders of possibility\, and a visual legacy for generations to come. \n \nBlack Birth Joy was born from Lashae's belief that more positive birth stories of BIPOC families need to be seen and heard\, and her photographs invite viewers to witness the people behind them: the mothers\, babies\, partners\, families\, and birthworkers. They create space for BIPOC families to see themselves represented with dignity and to witness the full range of birth experiences. Lashae's photographs also create a tangible record that can support conversations around quality of medical care\, respectful treatment\, and patient rights. The exhibit empowers women to prioritize and advocate for their birth experiences while also encouraging perinatal health professionals and birthworkers to center the humanity\, dignity\, and individual experiences of patients and families. \n\nThe exhibit comprises over 30 photographs as well as stories of mothers whose births were documented by Lashae\, a doula and birth/newborn photographer whose work has been published in Everyday Birth Magazine\, an international publication. The physical exhibit is accompanied by a virtual component that encourages audiences to engage with each mother's birth story.\n\nThe Lane Hall Exhibit Space is sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) at the University of Michigan. \n\nBlack Birth Joy\nThursday\, October 1\, 2026 – Friday\, January 15\, 2027\nLane Hall Exhibit Space\, 204 S State St.\, Ann Arbor\, MI\nOpen M–F\, 9AM–5PM

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:Exhibition:Small Works: Prints & Book Objects from Detroit\, 2020–2026
DESCRIPTION:Small Works\nPrints & Book Objects from Detroit 2020–2026\n\nOctober 21 - November 19 \nPublic Reception: Friday\, November 13 from 4:30-6pm.\n\nSmall Works was a print shop ran by Li Chen & Gerald Schulze\, in Detroit\, MI\, from 2020–2026. Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant\, and later studio manager\, in 2024. Over those six years\, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year\, open studio for the public\, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026\, they decided to expand community programming\, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works\, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop\, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community\, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works\, by their studiomates Diskette Press\, the publisher Maamoul Press\, and by the community that uses the space.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Jeronimo Morales Toledo Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:The Araceae is a diverse early divergent lineage within the monocotyledons. Today the family is present in most terrestrial biomes but in Antarctica\, driven mostly by their diverse life-forms and reproductive biology. However\, an integrative approach that involves morphological\, paleontological\, phylogenetic and ecological data to understand the deep roots evolution of Araceae is still lacking. In this dissertation\, I address this gap by creating a reproductive morphological framework based on fruit and seeds to integrate the aroid reproductive fossil record in a time calibrated phylogeny. I performed a species level survey of aroid fruit and seed anatomy using X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) and scanned over 260 species representing nearly all extant genera of extant diversity. Using these scans\, I created a morphological data set that was integrated with DNA sequence data to analyze the evolutionary relationships of six fossil species. With this\, I re-evaluated systematics of exceptionally preserved fruits and seeds from the Cretaceous to the Paleogene.\n\nIn chapter 2 I evaluated the systematics of a fossil infructescence from the Late Cretaceous of South Dakota and used phylogenetic comparative methods to understand its relationship with modern aroids and understand the time and mode of the evolution of different life-forms across the Araceae tree of life. \n\nChapter 3 was focused on the structural reinterpretation of fossil fruits from the Paleogene of Northern Africa\, and its implications on how extinction can prune former morphologies that are unreachable to see if we rely on extant data. \n\nIn the Chapter 4\, I focused on advancing the understanding between reproductive fruit and seed aroid biology\, their fossil record\, and the diversity of life-forms in different sub families. The results of this integrative approach led me to the recognition of the reproductive fossil record of the family within a time-calibrated phylogeny. Additionally\, the production of this new comparative morphological dataset\, let us recognize the fruits are not strongly determined by the life-forms. \n\nOverall\, this dissertation contributes new data and insights into the tempo and mode of aroid evolution\, with broader relevance to key questions on paleobiology\, evolutionary biology\, and Earth Sciences.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Research Institute | Thinking Inside the Box: Quantum Many-Body Frontiers with Ultracold Fermions
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: In the Meeting Invite\nIn-Person: West Hall 411\n\nAbstract:\nRecent progress in the control of complex quantum systems has made it possible to revisit\nlong-standing questions\, realize thought experiments once deemed inaccessible\, and explore\nnew terrain. Our contribution to this progress has been the development of an experimental\nplatform that creates ultracold quantum fluids in spatiotemporally programmable optical\npotentials\, engineered with advanced electro-optic devices.\nIn this talk\, I will share our explorations into the physics of fermions confined in ‘boxes of\nlight’\, a deceptively simple stage that gives rise to remarkably rich behavior [1]. Highlights\ninclude few-body recombination in multicomponent fermions [2\,3]\, the first observation of\nthe quantum Joule–Thomson effect for fermions [4]\, strong-drive spectroscopy of Fermi-\npolaron quasiparticles [5]\, the first direct observation of the Lindhard response [6]\, the\nobservation of the emergence and breakdown of Fermi’s Golden Rule in a strongly\ninteracting system [7]\, and the unveiling of a new correspondence between short-time and\nlong-time behavior in quantum dynamics [8]. Together\, these studies span a wide range of\ntopics—thermodynamics\, few-body physics\, quantum impurity problems\, and\nhydrodynamics—showcasing both long-predicted effects finally brought into view and\nsurprising new phenomena.\n[1] N.

Li et al.\, arXiv:2605.06666 (2026)\n\nBio\nNir Navon is an Associate Professor of Physics at Yale University. He received his Ph.D. in 2011 from the École Normale Supérieure in Paris (France)\, where he worked with Christophe Salomon and Frédéric Chevy on the thermodynamics of ultracold Bose and Fermi gases. Afterwards\, he worked on trapped-ion quantum information in the group of Roee Ozeri at the Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel). From 2013 to 2018\, he was a Junior Research Fellow at Trinity College\, Cambridge (UK)\, working with Zoran Hadzibabic on homogeneous Bose gases in optical box traps. He joined the Yale faculty in 2017.\n\nHis group has built an apparatus that produces strongly interacting Fermi gases in programmable potentials. This apparatus has made it possible to experimentally address quantum many-body problems where theory offers few\, if any\, reliable answers. The group's recent work includes the observation of the as-yet unexplained recombination dynamics of three-component fermions\, the emergence of sound in a Fermi fluid with tunable interactions\, the strongly driven Fermi polaron\, the first observation of the quantum Joule-Thomson effect for fermions\, and the emergence and breakdown of Fermi's Golden Rule in a many-body system. His awards and honors include a Packard Fellowship (2017)\, a Sloan Research Fellowship (2019)\, an NSF CAREER Award (2020)\, the New Horizons Lectureship in Physics at the Solvay Institutes (2023)\, Outstanding Referee of the APS (2023)\, and a Scialog Fellowship of the RCSA (2025).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reverie: The Student-led Exhibition Committee Fall 2026 Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nA reverie is a state between waking and dreaming\, a moment when the mind drifts beyond the immediate. It is a space where memory\, imagination\, desire\, and reality can overlap\, distort\, and take on new forms. In these moments\, the familiar can become strange\, and the ordinary can become something unexpected.\n\nReverie brings together student works that explore the space between what is known and what is felt. Across painting\, oil pastel\, ceramic\, digital art\, animation\, and mixed media\, the artists move through imagined landscapes\, intimate encounters\, memories\, figures\, and fragments of the everyday. These works blur the boundaries between observation and imagination\, allowing emotion and perception to reshape what we recognize.\n\nRather than depicting dreams literally\, Reverie considers dreaming as a way of seeing. The works reflect moments of escape\, introspection\, fantasy\, and transformation\, where the subconscious can surface and reality becomes open to interpretation. \n\nReverie was conceived and curated by members of the Student-led Exhibition Committee (SEC)\, and features work by eight SEC members at the Stamps School of Art & Design. The exhibition includes ten works across oil on canvas\, oil pastel\, ceramic\, digital art\, digital animation\, and mixed media.

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:Workshop / Seminar:DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Abhirath Anand (Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the DCMB Tools & Technology Seminar Series featuring a presentation by Abhirath Anand from the Department of Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics. Enjoy a complimentary pizza lunch while learning about innovative research and cutting-edge tools.\n\n\"hospitraceR: An R Package for WGS-Based Genomic Epidemiological Analysis of Healthcare-Associated Infections”\n\n- Tool Link:  https://github.com/theabhirath/hospitraceR\n\nAbstract\n\nGenomic epidemiology\, which combines whole-genome sequencing (WGS) with patient data is becoming increasingly common to detect the transmission of hospital-acquired infections\, especially multi-drug resistant organisms. As high-throughput WGS becomes more affordable\, software that facilitates the analysis of this genomic data along with patient metadata becomes crucial to generate timely insights. Prior studies have shown that there can be many different approaches to detect transmission clusters with genomic epidemiology data\, and oftentimes these approaches will have tradeoffs more or less suitable for a certain dataset. We present hospitraceR\, an R package designed to facilitate such analyses. hospitraceR includes functions for detecting transmission clusters with two different methods\, the standard SNV threshold approach and a threshold-free approach. It also includes functions that can use patient movement information through the facility to suggest potential transmission explanations for the clusters. hospitraceR seeks to enable users to use multiple methods of transmission cluster detection and compare them easily using cluster comparison metrics. Metrics like the adjusted Rand Index (ARI) and adjusted mutual information (AMI) have been included for this purpose\, as has fraction of converts with shared source (FSS)\, a custom metric designed specifically for comparing transmission clusters. A companion package\, hospitraceRvisualize\, also includes opinionated plotting functions for certain commonplace visualizations that aid in epidemiological interpretations. We apply hospitraceR to a dataset consisting of 4 long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs) from Chicago sampled for different periods of time as part of an intervention study and evaluate the two different approaches for cluster detection. We find distinct patterns exhibited by the transmission clusters in different locations and also compare the different clusters obtained with different SNV thresholds and linkage criterion for hierarchical clustering. The hospitraceR package proves to be helpful in facilitating such comparisons and makes it easy to use WGS data to aid epidemiological investigation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:NCKS Colloquium Series | Koreatown\, NYC: The Consumption of a Transnational Brand
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. 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/8JNPb\n\nSynopsis:\nIn the past decade\, Korean entertainment has gained global recognition\, with Korean movies and TV shows winning Oscars and Emmys\, and K-Pop groups becoming wildly popular. In Manhattan\, Koreatown has become a popular destination for both locals and tourists\, drawing them in with its bars\, restaurants\, and day spas. Jinwon Kim argues that Manhattan’s Koreatown has become a new type of ethnic enclave\, what she dubs a “transclave.” This commercialized ethnic space exists solely for consumption\, leisure\, and entertainment\, and has been shaped by South Korea’s nation-branding strategy\, new economic and cultural strategies\, patterns in Korean migration\, and shifts in tourism and urban policies in New York City. Kim posits that for many consumers in Koreatown\, especially those who are not of Korean descent\, the space has become a commercialized place where transnational culture meets the diverse racial and ethnic mosaic of New York City. Kim emphasizes how the space functions to “brand Korea” as a space to “consume ethnicity\,” reflecting the landscape of South Korea’s consumer culture through the physical appearance of buildings and stores and the inclusion of franchise brands. In this talk\, Kim explores the recent popularity of Korean food in New York City by focusing on both transnational and domestic factors\, leading to the new trend of commercialization of ethnic food\, emphasis on authenticity\, and rise of the omnivore society\, by delivering the voices of ordinary people. While Koreatown’s authenticity has been largely defined by commercialized ethnic cuisine by local entrepreneurs\, the Korean government\, and franchises\, Kim argues that Koreatown’s authenticity has represented the collective imaginations and narratives of various consumer groups–Korean nationals\, Korean Americans\, and non-Koreans.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nJinwon Kim is assistant professor of sociology at Smith College. An urban sociologist and Asian Americanist\, her research and teaching focus on race and ethnicity\, transnational sociology\, immigration\, consumption\, and qualitative research methods. Prior to her appointment at Smith College\, she was a tenure-track assistant professor at the New York City College of Technology/CUNY (2019–2024). Her peer-reviewed scholarship has appeared in journals such as *City & Community* and *The International Journal of Cultural Policy*\, and she is the co-editor of the volume *Koreatowns: Exploring the Economics\, Politics\, and Identities of Korean Spatial Formations* (2020). Kim is currently working on two book-length projects that investigate transnational culture and urban transformation. The first\, *New Trends\, Old Conflicts: New Black-Korean Relations in an Era of Global Racism and Global Media*\, draws on 280 international interviews to examine anti-Blackness and interracial dynamics within the Korean entertainment industry\, situating these conflicts within East Asian geopolitics. Her second project\, *The Asian Times Square: Gentrification\, Displacement\, and New Ethnic Placemaking in Flushing\, NY*\, examines how waterfront megaprojects\, transnational investments\, and gentrification drive the physical and symbolic displacement of working-class East Asian immigrant families and small businesses. It also explores how these processes reshape inter/intraethnic relations among four East Asian groups—Koreans\, Korean Chinese\, Chinese\, and Taiwanese—in Flushing\, New York City.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at namhy@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Fixed Effects in the Tails (with Raffaella Giacomini\, Annalisa Loviglio\, and Yulong Wang)
DESCRIPTION:Many economic decisions target units at the extremes\, such as the most effective teachers\, the worst-performing schools\, or the most productive firms. These decisions often rely on fixed-effect estimates\, but in short panels extreme estimates may reflect unusually large estimation error rather than extreme latent effects. We develop a semiparametric framework for identification and inference on the tails of latent group effects in short panels\, where estimation error need not vanish. We show that within-group differences remove the group effect and provide observable information about the tail of the estimation error in group averages. This yields a conservative one-sided test of whether latent effects have a heavier tail than estimation error. Under regular variation and this tail dominance condition\, tail estimators based on noisy group averages are asymptotically equivalent to infeasible estimators based on the latent effects. We use this oracle-equivalence result to derive frequentist inference for the Pareto exponent\, extreme quantiles\, and tail conditional expectations\, and to establish consistent rankings of a fixed number of extreme units. We apply the method to administrative data on Italian middle schools to quantify the gains from replacing schools in the lower tail with average-quality schools.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Ryan Hayward\, *University of Colorado*
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:*\nOur group has recently studied heterojunctions between oppositely charged ‘ionoelastomers’\, i.e.\, low glass-transition polyelectrolyte networks\, for applications including inherently stretchable and transparent logic elements\, low-voltage electroadhesives\, and electromechanical transducers. We have studied several classes of networks containing different polymer backbone\, pendent group\, and crosslinker structure and sought to better understand how chemical and structural parameters of the networks influence their device performance. In one example\, we have introduced high mobility silicone backbones that lower the glass transition temperature and therefore improve conductivity of the materials. Remarkably\, heterojunctions at the interface of polyanionic and polycationic layers of such networks exhibit strongly temperature-dependent rectification\, providing insight into the critical role of interfacial polymer dynamics in the operation of these devices. In another example\, we have introduced a modular route to prepare polyanionic networks that relies on Sulfur (VI) fluoride exchange (SuFEx) ‘click’ chemistry\, enabling a systematic study of how ionic conductivity depends on the length of short perfluorinated pendent groups. A non-monotonic dependence is identified due to the competing effects of ion association and aggregation. Finally\, we have studied a variety of different crosslinking species as a route to tune conductivity\, stiffness\, and toughness of these materials.    \n\n*Bio:*\nRyan Hayward is the Department Chair and Hudson Moore Endowed Professor in Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder. He received degrees in Chemical Engineering from Princeton University (B.S.E\, 1999) and the University of California\, Santa Barbara (Ph.D.\, 2004)\, and was a post-doctoral fellow in Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University from 2004-2005 prior to joining the faculty of Polymer Science and Engineering at UMass Amherst in 2006\, where he remained until relocating to the University of Colorado in 2020. His group’s work is focused on responsive materials and self-assembly\, including the development of new approaches to optically- and electrically addressable polymers. Ryan received the APS John H. Dillon Medal (2014)\, the Journal of Polymer Science Innovation Award (2013)\, the ACS Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry Unilever Award (2011) and was elected a Fellow of the APS in 2018. He was an Associate Editor for ACS Macro Letters from 2013 – 2022 and served in the chair line of the Division of Polymer Physics of the APS from 2021-2025.
