SUMMARY:Exhibition:Democracy Week | Beacon of Democratic Resilience: Visual Truths and the Legacy of Korea's 5·18 Democratization Movement - A Photographic Archive of the May 1980 People’s Uprising in Korea
DESCRIPTION:Link to the official event poster: \nhttps://myumi.ch/kVdVV\n\nFor parking information\, please visit this link: https://www.dc.umich.edu/about-the-dc/maps-floor-plans-hours/#parking\n\nExhibition Opening Event: \n- When: Friday\, September 18\, 5 pm to 6 pm\n- Where: Duderstadt Center Gallery\n- Open to the public\n- Description: Please join us for the opening of this photo exhibition. The event will feature remarks by the organizers\, the exhibition curators\, one of the featured photojournalists\, and a former Peace Corps volunteer who has stood in solidarity with the people of Gwangju since 1980. Light refreshments are provided. \n\n*Exhibition Description*\nThis photo exhibition features 90 curated images from the UNESCO-inscribed May 18 Archives. Documenting the May 18–27\, 1980 democratization uprising in Gwangju\, South Korea\, the collection captures the shift from peaceful student protests to military violence and unified citizen resistance\, carried out under a complete blackout as civilians and photojournalists risked their lives to photograph atrocities and smuggle film past cordons. Beyond serving as historical artifacts\, these preserved visual truths offer a living blueprint for popular resilience against authoritarianism\, transforming local trauma into a universal defense of human rights. Displaying these records at Michigan bridges 1980 Gwangju with our present moment\, inviting viewers to engage past resistance in the ongoing effort to defend democracy today.\n\n*Exhibition Composition*\nThe exhibit will be composed of a visual narrative comprised of six chronological sections and two additional special sections:\n\n1. Protest (May 5–16\, 1980): \nFollowing the collapse of Park Chung-hee’s military dictatorship in October\, 1979\, Gwangju students and citizens held peaceful rallies for campus autonomy and the end of martial law. Photos from this era show orderly marches and hopeful faces\, capturing a society on the brink of change before the structural contradictions shifted toward state-led violence. \n\n2. Suppression (May 18–19\, 1980): \nA new junta government led by Chun Doo-hwan extended martial law to the entire country on May 17. Students at Chonnam National University protested against the new junta government’s decision. State violence escalated as paratroopers\, who were deployed to Gwangju\, engaged student protesters. Streets became scenes of brutal beatings and kidnappings. Beyond documenting victims\, the images on display in this section serve as primary historical evidence and legal proof of the military's methods and the sudden transformation of citizens into targets of control. \n\n3. Uprising (May 20–21\, 1980): \nThe movement shifted into a popular struggle. Vehicles lined up in Gwangju’s main thoroughfare\, Geumnam-ro. This massive vehicle parade symbolized the people becoming active subjects of resistance. The military was given the order to use live ammunition against civilians. In reaction\, the city became a space of voluntary mobilization and citizens emerged as historical political actors. \n\n4. Resistance (May 22–26\, 1980): \nWhile isolated and cut off from communications\, Gwangju established an autonomous system of self-governance. Photos in this section testify to the efforts made to establish a sense of order based on solidarity—sharing food and donating blood—rather than chaos. The formation of this \"Daedong (Great Unity) Community\" and the visual documentation thereof serve as foundations of democracy in South Korea. \n\n5. Massacre (May 27\, 1980): \nThe uprising was crushed by a dawn military operation. While the armed resistance ended\, the resulting photographs of the aftermath reveal the stark reality of the massacre. These images became the catalyst for future truth-seeking movements and the pursuit of historical justice in South Korea. \n\n6. Mourning: \nScenes of coffins\, portraits\, and silent vigils represent a collective ethical gaze. During this period\, mourning was more than a display of grief\; it was a communal act used to redefine the city’s identity and establish new moral standards for justice.\n\n7. Special Section A: The Photographers\nThis special section highlights the domestic and international photographers who documented the uprising. This includes Korean journalists alongside US journalists Robin Moyer and Norman Thorpe\, French correspondents Patrick Chauvel and François Lochon\, and German cinematographer Jürgen Hinzpeter. Their images transcend simple reporting\, reflecting a moral commitment to record and a historical duty to ensure remembrance. Rather than viewing these photos solely as evidence\, the exhibition reinterprets them through a lens of photographic history—examining their context\, distribution\, and how they transformed raw records into social truth and collective memory.\n\n8. Special Section B: The Peace Corps: Americans Who Helped Gwangju\nWhen Gwangju was isolated under martial law in May 1980\, four American Peace Corps volunteers—Tim Warnberg\, David Lee Dolinger\, Judi Chamberlin\, and Paul Courtright—refused to leave\, choosing instead to assist the wounded\, aid foreign journalists\, and ultimately expose the truth to the world. Those pivotal ten days reshaped their lives into lifelong commitments to human rights\, inspiring decades of memoirs\, academic writings\, and testimonies. Through photographs\, video footage\, and personal records\, this section traces their journey from eyewitnesses to active defenders of human dignity\, inviting us to reflect on what it truly means to take a stand in the face of another’s suffering. \n\nTwo additional events programmed in conjunction with this photo exhibition\n1. Symposium: \n“For Thee and All the World to See: May 18 Gwangju and the Visual Tenacities of South Korean Democracy”\nhttps://myumi.ch/mVdVJ \n\n2. Third Thursday at the Library: \nDemocracy in Motion: The Advancement of Democracy in Korea and the Students at the Frontline\nhttps://myumi.ch/rwdwn \n\nContent Warning: This exhibition contains historical photographs documenting the 1980 Gwangju Democratization Movement\, including graphic depictions of violence\, state military suppression\, injuries\, and grief. Viewer discretion is advised.\n\nThis exhibit is co-sponsored by the May 18 Archives\, Center for Democracy & Civic Empowerment\, Department of Political Science\, Center for Emerging Democracies\, Donia Human Rights Center\, Asia Library\, and Duderstadt Center.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Crepant resolutions via stacks
DESCRIPTION:Consider an invariant that behaves nicely for smooth varieties\, such as Euler number\, Betti numbers\, or Hodge numbers. Suppose we want a version of this invariant for singular varieties that sees interesting information about the singularities. I will discuss how this naturally leads to the notion of crepant resolutions of singularities. However\, crepant resolutions (by varieties) are rare in practice. I will discuss joint work with M. Satriano in which we show that crepant resolutions actually exist in broad generality\, as long as one is willing to consider algebraic stacks. Specifically\, any variety with log-terminal singularities admits a crepant resolution by a smooth algebraic stack. As one consequence\, in joint work with J. Huang and M. Satriano\, we obtain a cohomological interpretation for Batyrev's stringy Hodge numbers. This talk will not assume familiarity with stacks.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CCMB/DCMB Weekly Bioinformatics Seminar Series featuring Jianzhi Zhang\, PhD (Professor\, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, U-M)
DESCRIPTION:Jianzhi (George) Zhang is a Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology interested in the relative roles of chance and necessity in evolution. He got his B. S. from Fudan University in Shanghai\, China\, and his Ph. D. in Genetics from Pennsylvania State University. He was a  Fogarty postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases before moving to the University of Michigan.\n\nProfessor Zhang’s research focuses on two main research areas:  (1) yeast as an experimental system for studying evolution\, where his research group uses the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its relatives as model organisms to understand a variety of evolutionary processes such as the genetic basis of phenotypic variations among strains and species\, or molecular and genomic bases of heterosis\; and (2) computational evolutionary genomics where they use evolutionary\, genomic\, and/or systemic approaches to analyze publicly available data to characterize and understand pleiotropy\, robustness\, epistasis\, gene-environment interaction\, gene expression noise\, translational regulation\, RNA editing\, convergent evolution\, adaptation\, origin of new genes\, among-protein evolutionary rate variation\, and other important genetic and evolutionary phenomena. Projects may also involve modeling and simulation\, including the MICDE catalyst grant project where the team is using deep neural networks to infer molecular phylogenies and extract phylogenetically useful patterns from amino acid or nucleotide sequences\, which will help understand evolutionary mechanisms and build evolutionary models for a variety of analyses.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for an informal showing of *Happy Days Finale*\, a new performance work by Leyya Mona Tawil in collaboration with Zari Lionudakis (dance)\, John MacDoughall Parker (music)\, and Scott Tallenger (costume).\n\nWhat does happiness mean in a time of revolution? With each day anew\, what is our capacity for communion\, grief\, resistance\, chance? In a world of relentless injustice and collapse\, we question what is ending and what is beginning. DANCE ELIXIR's *Happy Days Finale* is an invitation to test these questions\, in body and time.\n\nAt the heart of *Happy Days Finale* is Tawil’s “choice-based choreography\,” where each performance unfolds uniquely. The dance composition is driven by decisions that transform the work into an ever-evolving conversation between movement\, space\, and sound. Tawil calls it “an act of agility and adaptability\,” - a dance that contains multiple truths with every iteration.\n\n*Happy Days Finale* is an invitation to think critically and collaboratively\, to explore how we\, as a community\, can face the challenges of today’s world. Tawil has created a space for modeling new ways of being in an unpredictable world. *Happy Days Finale* proposes dancemaking as a potent tool for liberation\, urging us to question\, to mourn\, and to labor\, together.\n\nPresented by Daring Dances and the Center for World Performance Studies.\n\n*If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, please contact the Center for World Performance Studies at cwps.information@umich.edu at least one week in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.*\n\nBIOGRAPHIES\n\nLEYYA MONA TAWIL\, Conceptual Score\, Choreography\, and Performance\nDirector of DANCE ELIXIR\, Leyya Mona Tawil is an artist\, performer\, and cultural activist working in hybrid performance practices. Tawil is Palestinian and Syrian\; engaged in the world as such. Her choreographies and sound projects have been presented throughout the states\, Europe\, and the Arab world. Highlight engagements: “My Name is Palestine” exhibit at Southern Exposure (SF)\, performance commissions from Abrons Arts Center (NYC) and Sibelius Museum (Turku)\, and residencies with Sharjah Art Foundation (UAE)\, Wysing Arts/British Council (UK) and PlayHouse Labs (Detroit). Tawil was nominated for a 2019 “Bessies” Award in Music (NYC) and received the Ruth Arts Artist Choice Award 2026. She has stewarded TAC Temescal Art Center in Oakland since 1997\, and is the founding director of Arab.AMP - a platform for worldbuilding artists from the Arab/SWANA diaspora and our allied communities.\n\nZARI LIONUDAKIS\, Dance Collaborator and Performer\nZari Lionudakis is an artist and educator who challenges perceptions of either/or. A lone wolf in lineage\, heritage and praxis\, Zari's work in liminal space bleeds into her performance\, technique classes\, scholarship and healing modalities. The late historian Hayden White called Zari a \"radical visionary\,\" as every mode of Zari's work challenges existing notions of what \"is.\" Whether ballet or vernacular\, slang or scholarship\, Zari uses languages that work towards liberation. She has performed extensively with DANCE ELIXIR since its founding in 2003.\n\nJOHN MACDOUGALL PARKER\, Music Collaborator and Performer\nJohn MacDougall Parker creates improvisational future-folk compositions where sound is amalgamated and congealed into a resolution of crossed signals. He has devised instruments focused on the interface between humans and machines\, which are arranged to make music in the moment. Parker\, of American and Korean origin\, floats between NYC and São Paulo.\n\nSCOTT TALLENGER\, Costumes\nScott Tallenger is a Left-Handed/Right Brained\, photographer\, skateboarder and fashion designer. Based in Detroit and working nationally\, Scott specializes in one-of-a-kind event garments and accessories.  His first costume collaboration with performer Leyya Mona Tawil was in 2006\, and he has since created over 11 unique costumes for DANCE ELIXIR.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantitative propagation of chaos and universality for asymmetric Langevin spin glass dynamics
DESCRIPTION:We obtain quantitative estimates on quenched propagation of chaos for Langevin spin glass dynamics with i.i.d. disorder. Prior work in the case of Gaussian disorder established the qualitative convergence of the law of a single spin to a deterministic McKean--Vlasov limit. We prove convergence rates in expected Wasserstein distance and quantitative concentration rates for Lipschitz observables under the assumption that the disorder satisfies the T_2 inequality. The proof uses a coupling argument\, together with techniques from concentration of measure\, filtering theory\, and Malliavin calculus.
