But\, how do we conduct research and come to understand the social processes transpiring in these significant social connections with others? What are the consequences for individual development and mental health outcomes of having close intimate relationships in one’s life? There is also a darker side to some relationships in the form of violence\, aggression\, and conflict. How do we study these processes? Social media and artificial intelligence have opened up new ways of thinking about “what is a social relationship?” and how many of these “friends” can one truly have. \n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on different types of social relationships\, spanning family and parent-child relationships\, friendships\, peer networks\, romantic relationships\, attachment relationships\, and the use of online media to maintain social connections.

Our focal system for this work involves natural populations of Plantago host plants and their powdery mildew pathogens. We use observational\, experimental\, and theoretical approaches to study these plant-fungus interactions along a large latitudinal gradient (spanning from southern Louisiana to northern Minnesota) and across an urbanization gradient in St. Louis\, Missouri. Key research questions we have recently asked include: How does climate shape the geographic distribution and seasonality of powdery mildew on Plantago around the world? Are powdery mildew strains locally adapted to temperature or to host genotypes along a latitudinal gradient? In what geographic regions and seasons can powdery mildew undergo sexual reproduction? How do powdery mildew dynamics vary within and between host populations across a gradient of urbanization? Why are there larger powdery mildew epidemics in more urban populations? Our answers to these questions fill critical gaps in understanding wild plant-pathogen interactions in an increasingly warm and urbanized world.

Friend connections have positive impacts on health\, happiness\, and economic mobility. Friends can also buffer people against the high individual and societal costs of loneliness. But\, in part because social psychology\, relationship science\, and evolutionary behavioral work have prioritized romantic and kin relationships\, we know less about how friendship works among adults. My research aims to redress this gap by uncovering the design of friendship psychology. I begin from the premise that having friends—and enjoying the related benefits—requires people to solve multiple\, likely recurrent challenges (e.g.\, finding\, making\, keeping friends). I also introduce the ‘embedded dyad framework’\, which improves our ability to describe what these challenges look like: Just as better describing the shape of a lock allows us to generate better-informed predictions about the design of its key\, better describing the shapes of friendship challenges allows us to generate better-informed predictions about how people solve them—or\, really\, the cognitive design of the tools that people use to solve them. In particular\, this framework increases our descriptive power by providing a more ecologically-valid view of the social relationship landscape—one emphasizing that dyads\, the typical focus of relationships work\, exist embedded in wider\, often densely interconnected networks. Therein\, one’s dyadic partners—here\, friends—frequently interact with other people\, and these friend-other interactions can influence one’s friends\, friendships\, and outcomes. Thus\, friendship challenges are likely to possess not only well-studied dyadic components (e.g.\, getting friends to like us)\, but also comparatively overlooked supra-dyadic ones (e.g.\, getting friends to like us more than they like their other friends). I discuss how this knowledge affects three key friendship challenges: finding\, making\, and maintaining friends\, and I introduce implications for understanding the growth of friendlessness. \n\nAbout the series:\n\nHumans are social animals and from the earliest days of life\, are dependent on the quality of social relationships with significant others: family\, kin\, friends\, and a growing social network of online acquaintances. But\, how do we conduct research and come to understand the social processes transpiring in these significant social connections with others? What are the consequences for individual development and mental health outcomes of having close intimate relationships in one’s life? There is also a darker side to some relationships in the form of violence\, aggression\, and conflict. How do we study these processes? Social media and artificial intelligence have opened up new ways of thinking about “what is a social relationship?” and how many of these “friends” can one truly have. \n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on different types of social relationships\, spanning family and parent-child relationships\, friendships\, peer networks\, romantic relationships\, attachment relationships\, and the use of online media to maintain social connections. Although several speakers are senior scholars with extensive research backgrounds in the field\, many are junior scholars who are traversing new paths into the science of social relationships. Please join us Mondays to learn more about the exciting field of social relationships!\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Brenda Volling and Richard Gonzalez.\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.

Existing university policies defer the responsibility of checking for the correctness and appropriateness of LLM responses to students and assume that they will have the required knowledge and skills to do so on their own. This lecture teaches attendees how to critically engage with LLMs to understand their strengths and weaknesses. As part of the lecture\, the attendees engage in a hands-on activity to evaluate an LLM provided by the university\; first by themselves\, and then with a scaffolded design probe that guides them through an end-user auditing exercise. \n\nBiography\nNikola Banovic\, Ph.D.\, is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering and an Associate Director of Michigan Institute for Data and AI in Society at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. His research broadly focuses on Human-AI Interaction\, Explainable AI (XAI)\, and Responsible AI. In particular\, he has taken a keen interest in developing methods to explain the decisions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems to end-users without computer science backgrounds. Nikola’s research focuses on using explanations to raise end-user AI literacy\, which in turn could help them detect and counter untrustworthy AI. Before joining the University of Michigan\, Nikola received his Ph.D. degree from the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) at Carnegie Mellon University\, and his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from the University of Toronto. Nikola’s work has been recognized with an NSF CAREER award\, and best paper and honorable mention awards at premier HCI conferences.

Incorporating personal narrative\, alternative photographic processes\, and recycled and found material\, her practice enacts what she calls thinking and making with the ground–a process of sustained attention to place that is rooted in the photo walk. Her work foregrounds what is typically in the background\, showing how what we consider “beneath us” comprise multiple\, entangled\, more-than-human kin. She often prints her photographs on fabric dyed with foraged\, fallen material\, such as nuts and oak galls\, immersing her images in the specific ecologies in which they were taken. Angela is a graduate of the Yale School of Art\, where she was an Alice Kimball Traveling Fellow and Art and Social Justice Grantee.\n\nThis workshop is presented in partnership by U-M’s Matthei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum\, and the Arts Initiative.

As in Martinez’s own work\, the use of these humble materials honors both the impermanence and the significance of our everyday lives and the people within them. Participants are encouraged to bring a photo reference for their portrait.\n\nMartinez’s drawings and mixed media installations often feature multi-figure compositions set amidst agricultural landscapes. Drawing from his own experience as a farmworker\, Martinez focuses on the people performing the essential labor required to fill produce sections and restaurant kitchens across the country. His portraits of farmworkers are rendered in paint\, drawing\, and sculpture on discarded produce boxes collected from grocery stores.\n\nThis workshop is offered in support of the exhibition \"Narsiso Martinez: Best Used By\". The exhibition highlights timely issues related to worker invisibility and anonymity. As part of his project\, Martinez will be researching archives related to regional agricultural history and engaging with local food service workers.\n\nExperience Narsiso’s work at his exhibition \"Narsiso Martinez: Best Used By\" in the Gallery at the Institute for the Humanities\, on view from November 13 through December 19.

Acclaimed as both a “young star” and “complete artist” by the *New York Times* and as “extravagantly gifted… poised to redefine what’s possible for singers of this distinctive voice type” by the *San Francisco Chronicle*\, Mr. Nussbaum Cohen’s passion for creating performances of great vocal beauty and dramatic intensity have earned him a reputation as “a redefining force in the countertenor field” (*Limelight*).\n\nMr. Nussbaum Cohen finds a close affinity between the ancient musical traditions of his Jewish heritage and the Baroque works composing much of his operatic repertoire. Equally invigorated performing new works\, Nussbaum Cohen’s first commercial recording project – the world premiere of Kenneth Fuchs’ *Poems of Life* performed with the London Symphony Orchestra under JoAnn Falletta – was honored with a GRAMMY® Award for Best Classical Compendium in 2019\; and his interpretation of the Refugee’s aria from Jonathan Dove’s *Flight* provided the centerpiece for his extensive catalogue of competition successes\, including winning the Grand Prize at the 2017 Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition\, top prizes in Houston Grand Opera’s Eleanor McCollum Competition and the Dallas Opera Guild Competition\, a George and Nora London Foundation Award\, the Richard Tucker Study Grant and Career Grant\, and in 2024\, top prize in the Gerda Lissner Foundation’s International Vocal Competition.

His “smooth\, dark bass voice” can be heard on six Grammy Award-nominated recordings.\n\nAmid the wide-ranging demands of his repertoire\, critics note Enrico’s larger-than-life presence. “Bass-baritone Enrico Lagasca summoned nearly as much volume as everyone else onstage put together.” Storytelling is at the center of his artistry. He has been described as having “an oratorio voice that strikes fear of God in the hearts of the audience.” His performance of St. Matthew’s Passion at Saint Thomas’s Church was described as “an outpouring of devotion and grief as elegant as it was moving.”\n\nSoloist highlights of recent seasons include Haydn’s *Lord Nelson Mass* with Voices of Ascension in New York\, Handel’s *Messiah* at Ann Arbor’s University Musical Society and at Carnegie Hall with Musica Sacra\, Bach’s *Christmas Oratorio* at Washington Bach Consort\, and Mendelssohn’s *Walpurgisnacht* with the St. Louis Symphony. Enrico has collaborated with conductors such as Riccardo Muti\, Zubin Mehta\, Pablo Heras-Casado\, Nicholas McGegan\, Jane Glover\, John Butt\, John Nelson\, Matthew Halls and Carl St. Clair.\n\nEnrico’s passion extends beyond performing. He is dedicated to advocacy for the Queer community and Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion. As a member of the Kaleidoscope Vocal Ensemble\, a musical group committed to diversity and social justice\, he participates in creative outreach programming for various communities with limited access to the arts. His performances of Craig Hella Johnson’s *Considering Matthew Shepard* reflect Enrico’s dedication to works that address the LGBTQ+ community.

He has since impressed with a series of important debuts on the world’s major stages\, including the Metropolitan Opera\, Bayerische Staatsoper\, Canadian Opera Company\, and Royal Opera House Covent Garden\, where *The i* declared his performance “the most beautiful singing of the evening” and *Opera Magazine* dubbed it “so striking and brilliant” that “he managed toturn the Steersman into a principal character.”\n\nIn a pivotal 25/26 season\, Mykkanen stars as Sam Clay in *The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay* for the Metropolitan Opera’s opening night gala and house premiere run\, conducted by Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Mykkanen returns to the house after this season as The Groom in the first Met production of Kaija Saariaho’s *Innocence*. Elsewhere\, he makes two dual house and role debuts: as Leukippos in Strauss rarity *Daphne* at Seattle Opera\, and as Tamino in Barrie Kosky’s silent film-inspired production of *The Magic Flute* at LA Opera. He also brings his flexible tenor to Beethoven’s Symphony No.9 with Cleveland Orchestra\, led by Franz Welser-Möst\, and to Handel’s *Messiah* with Chicago’s Music of the Baroque\, conducted by Dame Jane Glover\, and the University Musical Society in Ann Arbor. He marks his first appearance at the Maastricht Festival in the Netherlands as soloist in a unique *Carmina Burana* featuring acclaimed piano duo Lucas and Arthur Jussen\, among other appearances still to be announced.

Presented in association with the Ann Arbor Symphony.\n\nGUEST ARTIST BIO\n\nPianist ARISTO SHAM exudes astounding intellect and a deep emotional resonance\; a cultivated sophistication and an immediately engaging presence\; a penchant to take on the great monuments of the piano repertoire and a natural\, infectious spontaneity. This makeup is fueled by a fascination with the world and its rich cultures: he was an international prodigy\, is a voracious student of wide-ranging interests\, and currently splits his time between three continents. \n\nAt the 2025 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition\, Aristo found his breakthrough moment\, taking home both the gold medal and the audience award. And the critics showered him with imaginative praise\, calling him “a marvel of deft characterization\,” “consistently authoritative\,” “a card-carrying risk taker\,” “a dapper\, aristocratic figure on stage\,” “a pianist I look forward to hearing again” (*The Dallas Morning News*\, *Gramophone*\, *Texas Classical Voice*). In just two months’ time\, he was mentioned in more than 800 news articles\, and his Cliburn performance videos were streamed 2 million times across 125 countries.\n\nAristo was featured in the 2009 documentary *The World’s Greatest Musical Prodigies* on Channel 4 (UK)\, has performed for royalty including King Charles\, and was hailed by The New York Times in 2020 as an artist “whose playing combines clarity\, elegance and abundant technique.” He has concertized across Asia\, Europe\, and the United States\, with major highlights including the London Symphony Orchestra under Sir Simon Rattle\, Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra under Edo de Waart\, English Chamber Orchestra under the late Sir Raymond Leppard\, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne\, and Minnesota Orchestra. His 2025–2026 debut season as Cliburn winner includes a major tour of Asia through South Korea and China\, and U.S. recitals for Aspen Music Festival\, La Jolla Music Society/The Conrad\, UCSB Arts and Lectures\, and the Skyline Piano Artist Series at Northwestern University.\n\nRecently\, he recorded and hosted the complete Brahms solo piano music on RTHK4\, Classical Radio in Hong Kong. Upcoming seasons will see the release of two albums on Platoon: a Cliburn live release\, as well as his debut studio album.\n\nAristo Sham’s mother taught piano in their Hong Kong home\, so he says: “I was enveloped in the environment of the piano even before I was born.” His parents recall his immense curiosity towards the instrument when he was a toddler and started him in lessons when he was 3. At the age of 10\, he began competing and concertizing. But he also went to regular schools\, never making the conscious decision to focus solely on the piano or his other studies\; this made the dual degree program at Harvard and the New England Conservatory a perfect fit when he went to college. He finished his Bachelor of Arts at Harvard in 2019 and master’s at NEC under Victor Rosenbaum in 2020. He then went to the Ingesund School of Music in Sweden to study with Julia Mustonen-Dahlkvist before returning to the States to earn an artist diploma at The Juilliard School with Robert McDonald and Orli Shaham. In addition to the Cliburn\, he’s a laureate of international competitions\, with first-prize wins at Young Concert Artists\, Ettlingen\, Gina Bachauer\, and Monte Carlo Music Masters.
