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:AIM Seminar:  The Geometry of Diffusion Generation: A Log-Density Ridge Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Diffusion models generate data by gradually transforming noise into structured samples. When these samples differ from the training examples\, what determines their geometric organization? In this talk\, I will present a framework based on log-density ridges of the smoothed empirical distribution. These evolving structures provide a geometric reference for analyzing generation relative to a finite training set. I will describe a reach–align–slide mechanism in reverse diffusion: samples enter a ridge neighborhood\, approach the ridge in normal directions\, and move along it relative to nearby training data. Our analysis relates alignment and local tangential motion to directional components of the learned denoising error\, connecting training error to generation geometry. This perspective helps explain how generated samples can organize around structures induced by the data while differing from individual training examples. Synthetic examples and MNIST latent-space experiments illustrate the predicted behavior. The talk will introduce the necessary background on diffusion models and log-density ridges.\n\nThis talk is based on joint work with Yitong Qiu and Molei Tao\, recently accepted at NeurIPS 2026.\n\nContact:  Zhiyan Ding

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar |  On the origin of Flavor and CP Violation
DESCRIPTION:I will present recent work on several aspects of flavor physics\, motivated by suggestive patterns in high-precision data. First\, I will discuss CKM unitarity constraints\, focusing on the angles of the unitarity triangle and on intriguing hints of spontaneous CP violation. Then\, I will argue that Standard Model running of the Yukawa couplings points to quark–lepton unification at a surprisingly low scale. Simple Pati–Salam theories of flavor can realize this for all three generations\, with predictions within reach of upcoming searches for charged-lepton flavor violation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Periodic pipe dreams and matrix positroid varieties
DESCRIPTION:Fan\, Guo\, Su and our own Rui Xiong introduced \"periodic pipe dreams\" to compute fundamental  classes of positroid varieties\, as classes on Grassmannians. Their formula is too beautiful to live only in a quotient ring. I'll explain some subtleties in interpreting it geometrically upstairs in the polynomial ring\, and extend it to compute classes of other projected Richardson varieties. As in the work of Fan\, Guo\, Su and Xiong\, we will also discuss CSM classes of the related open varieties.  This work is joint with Paul Zinn-Justin.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sociocultural Anthropology Colloquium | “In a Land of Aid: Reflections on the Palestinian Condition”
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, the international community\, Israeli occupation\, and Palestinian elites have engineered the humanitarianization of the Palestinian Territories—reframing the question of Palestine as a humanitarian concern rather than a political one. Today\, the West Bank and Gaza Strip have become the world’s humanitarian laboratory\, and Palestinians are among the largest recipients per capita of humanitarian aid. This aid provides Palestinians with essential tools for survival and resilience\, yet it has also entrenched Israeli colonial control.\n\nIn his new book “In a Land of Aid\,” Sa’ed Atshan traces how humanitarianism has become the dominant lens through which Palestinian life is now governed. Drawing on over a decade of research\, Atshan introduces readers to foreign aid workers\, policymakers\, scholars\, and Palestinians as they navigate political constraints on the ground. Together\, these encounters reveal an aid apparatus riddled with contradiction: simultaneously sustaining life\, narrowing political imagination\, and generating new forms of inequality and contestation. Atshan concludes that most powerful response to the paradoxically dehumanizing effects of aid lies in our affirmation of shared humanity.\n\nDr. Sa’ed Atshan is Associate Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies and Anthropology at Swarthmore College and currently a Visiting Scholar at the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography at the University of Oxford. He is the author of “Queer Palestine and the Empire of Critique” (Stanford\, 2020)\, coauthor of “The Moral Triangle: Germans\, Israelis\, Palestinians” (Duke\, 2020)\, coeditor of “Reel Gender: Palestinian and Israeli Cinema” (Bloomsbury\, 2022)\, and author of “In a Land of Aid: Essays on the Palestinian Condition” (Stanford\, 2026).
