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

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

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

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

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

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