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.
