SUMMARY:Exhibition:Small Works: Prints & Book Objects from Detroit\, 2020–2026
DESCRIPTION:Small Works\nPrints & Book Objects from Detroit 2020–2026\n\nOctober 27 - November 19 \nPublic Reception: Friday\, November 13 from 4:30-6pm.\n\nSmall Works was a print shop ran by Li Chen & Gerald Schulze\, in Detroit\, MI\, from 2020–2026. Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant\, and later studio manager\, in 2024. Over those six years\, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year\, open studio for the public\, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026\, they decided to expand community programming\, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works\, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop\, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community\, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works\, by their studiomates Diskette Press\, the publisher Maamoul Press\, and by the community that uses the space.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibition | Ancient Abstractions: Roman Visual Trends Beyond Naturalism
DESCRIPTION:The lifelike naturalistic bodies of Greek and Roman sculpture have been a source of wonder since the Renaissance. Indeed\, the Italian Renaissance artist Vasari identified the ancient world as the time “when sculpture rose to its greatest height.” But close likenesses of the natural world are not the only visual products of the ancient past. This exhibition traces alternative visual trends in the ancient Roman world that today would be considered examples of abstraction. It focuses on monuments and motifs long pushed to the margins of our accounts of ancient art. Oversize arrangements of interlocking shapes pulsate in bold block colors from tombs\, temples\, and homes\; stylized animals flicker into view\, only to collapse once more into bright geometric arrangements\; and artists adopt experimental shorthands for the depiction of space across media. Anticipating recent interests in color and form\, the visual trends of antiquity emerge as far more varied than has long been told.\n\n*Ancient Abstractions is on view from November 5\, 2026\, through February 28\, 2027\, during regular museum hours (Tuesday–Friday\, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM\, and Saturday–Sunday\, 11:00 AM–4:00 PM\; closed Mondays and university holidays.*

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BME Special Guest Lecturer
DESCRIPTION:BME Special Guest Lecturer:\nStephane Avril   \n\nMultiscale Digital Twins IN CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE \nAbstract:\nAortic aneurysms and dissections require personalized therapeutic strategies to reduce the risk of catastrophic complications. This lecture introduces a multiscale digital-twin framework combining fast surrogate biomechanical models\, machine-learning–based inverse identification\, and tissue mechanobiology. At the clinical scale\, latent-space representations enable rapid patient-specific simulation to predict complications such as endoleaks. At the material scale\, inverse methods and neural-network constitutive models reveal regional tissue properties and rupture indicators. At the biological scale\, growth-and-remodeling models describe how proteolytic injury\, hemodynamics\, and cellular processes drive disease progression. By integrating these components\, digital twins become powerful tools to support diagnosis\, intervention planning\, and future therapies for delaying vascular aging.\nBio:\nStéphane Avril is Professor of Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering at Mines Saint-Étienne\, France\, and Director of the SAINBIOSE laboratory (INSERM U1059). He received his PhD in Mechanical and Civil Engineering from Mines Saint-Étienne in 2002. His research focuses on biomechanics and mechanobiology of soft tissues\, with particular emphasis on cardiovascular applications. His work combines medical imaging\, experimental characterization\, computational modeling\, and patient-specific digital twins. He has led major research programs funded by the ERC\, ANR\, BPI France\, and Horizon Europe. He is the recipient of an ERC Advanced Grant (JuvenTwin) and previously held an ERC Consolidator Grant. He has been a Visiting Professor at Yale University and Guest Professor at TU Vienna and TU Graz. He has authored more than 230 peer-reviewed publications and supervised over 50 PhD students and 25 postdoctoral researchers. He is cofounder of PrediSurge and KaomX\, translating biomechanical research into innovative medical and research technologies. He was elected to the World Council of Biomechanics in 2026 and has received several international awards for his contributions to biomechanics.\n\nWebsites:\nhttps://emse.fr/~avril  \nhttps://sainbiose-lab.fr/

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Veterans Week - Vietnam War Veteran Panel
DESCRIPTION:Hear Vietnam veterans talk about their experiences during that controversial war and how they were treated when they returned home. This year\, we are honored to have a nurse who served in Vietnam.  A total of nearly 9\,000 women served as nurses in the Vietnam War. Their average age was 23 and most had just graduated from nursing school when they volunteered. Eight of them were killed in action\, while treating and saving others. \n\n>Panelist Mary Stolz\, an Iron Mountain Michigan resident\, kept wounded soldiers alive. \n>Panelist Denny Schoville was one such critically wounded casualty. The helicopter pilot\, with a  Distinguished Flying Cross\, two Silver Stars\, and a Bronze Star\, was shot in the temple and left calf and still managed to land his bullet-riddled chopper. A nurse stabilized him so that he could be flown to a fully equipped Army hospital in Japan. \n>Panelist Peter Dodge trained as an Army medic and volunteered for Vietnam\, but was sent to Thailand to provide public health services. As a result of Peter's and fellow MEDCAPS work\, Vietnam was only the second US war in which more men died of diseases than in battle. \n>The panel is moderated by Lawrence Dolph\, who served on Night Ambush Patrol for the 9th Infantry Division and later as a US Army News Correspondent.\n\nTheir remarkable stories of service\, sacrifice\, and perseverance will change how you look at the Vietnam War and the men and women who served there.

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: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:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - mm-Scale Computers for Small Animal Studies
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary -  In this talk\, we will discuss recent advances in small-scale computing systems that have opened up a range of new application areas. By reducing the power consumption of electronic circuits\, the battery and/or energy-harvesting source can be shrunk to sub-millimeter dimensions\, allowing the overall system size to shrink as well. We will give a high-level overview of these low-power techniques and then illustrate a number of applications\, including small-animal tracking.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | The Sacred Edict as Hate Speech: Griffith John\, the Hunan Riots\, and  Qing imperial ideology
DESCRIPTION:In the 1890s\, a series of anti-missionary riots swept through Hunan province. While the disturbances were promptly quelled and the instigators brought to justice\, missionaries found themselves in heated debates about the origins of the riots. One of them was Welshman Griffith John who singled out the Sacred Edict as one root cause of anti-Christian sentiment and argued for its amendment. This talk examines the context behind the debate and what it can tell us about endurance of and contradictions within imperial ideology in late imperial China.\n\nPär Cassel is an associate professor of modern Chinese history at the University of Michigan. He is strongly committed to multi-lingual and multi-archival research and is especially interested in historical problems where international relations\, jurisprudence\, institutional history\, and linguistics intersect. He is currently working on a book length project about the Sacred Edict.\n\n*Part of the International Institute Theme Year: Sovereignty*\nhttps://myumi.ch/ii-theme
