SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Housing Production and the Structural Transformation of China’s Real Estate Development Industry
DESCRIPTION:Join the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics as we host Lan Deng\, professor of urban and regional planning at the University of Michigan. She has been studying housing and real estate development in both China and the U.S. Her research examines the different types of interventions the two countries have developed to provide decent housing and quality neighborhoods for their residents. Professor Deng is the North American editor for the international journal Housing Studies. She is also a co-founder of the Collective for Equitable Housing initiative at the University of Michigan.  Professor Deng holds a PhD in city and regional planning from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and a master’s and bachelor’s of science from Peking University\, China.\n\nAbstract: “Housing is a major source of inequality. While extensive research exists on housing market outcomes like affordability and wealth disparities\, studies on how housing is produced are limited. Much of the existing work focuses on regulatory barriers to development. Few have examined the role of the homebuilding industry in shaping housing market outcomes. This gap largely stems from a long-held assumption in housing economics: that homebuilding is a highly competitive sector that\, if left alone\, will produce whatever the market demands. As a result\, the industry is often viewed as a passive actor in urban development process.\n\nThis study challenges this assumption. We argue that the structure and behaviors of the real estate development industry play important roles in shaping housing market outcomes.  This is especially salient in China\, where the industry has become highly concentrated\, with major developers controlling an increasing share of national housing production. Using mixed methods\, this study examines the dynamics driving these structural changes in the Chinese real estate development industry\, with a particular focus on how these changes have affected local housing production. Our findings reveal the changing nature of real estate development\, how it has amplified risks in Chinese housing markets and contributed to the widening of regional inequality.”
