If you would like to attend via Zoom\, registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/VDMnJ.\n\nMany of Japan's regional dialects are now critically endangered\, as intergenerational transmission breaks down in aging and depopulating communities. This lecture surveys the current state of endangered dialects in Japan and introduces a range of efforts to document and pass them on to future generations. In particular\, it focuses on Professor Taniguchi’s fieldwork in Ikawa\, a remote mountain community in northern Shizuoka Prefecture\, and presents the various revitalization activities she has carried out in collaboration with local residents.\n\nJoy Taniguchi (Ph.D.\, The University of Tokyo) is a professor in the faculty of informatics at Shizuoka Institute of Science and Technology and a collaborating researcher on a joint project at the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics (NINJAL). A sociolinguist\, she leads efforts to document\, preserve\, and revitalize the endangered dialect of Ikawa\, a mountain community in northern Shizuoka Prefecture. She also conducts large-scale surveys of language variation and change across Shizuoka.\n\nIf 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.

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 UID:149541-21906598@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/149541 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260811T094953 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260917T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260917T140000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Graduate Financial Education: 1:1 Consultation Hours DESCRIPTION:Have questions about managing your finances as a graduate student?

Agentic tools like Claude Code work differently: they run on your machine\, read your project\, execute your code\, and iterate on errors. This hands-on tutorial covers the pros and cons of using a coding agent and how to begin using Claude Code as an R programmer. We'll look at potential use cases of coding agents for data analysis\, improving code reproducibility\, and tightening the loop between code outputs and manuscript writing.   \nHands-on activities:Optionally\, if you'd like to participate in hands-on exercises in the session\, you may wish to purchase a Claude Code plan ($20 for a month of access) and have Claude installed on your computer. However\, you may also come without doing this\, or with a different agent (like OpenAI's Codex or an open-source tool of your choice) \nReminder: All attendees\, please bring a laptop.\n UID:149473-21906465@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/149473 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:TBD (Central Campus) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260811T102047 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260917T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260917T150000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Fall 2026 - Empowering Your Teaching: Tech\, Accessibility\, and AI in the Classroom DESCRIPTION:Ready to enhance your courses and simplify your teaching workflow?

Since forming in 1991\, the group has captivated audiences with a singular sound that fearlessly crisscrosses genres — blending rock\, jazz\, classical\, and global influences\, with the occasional surf or spaghetti Western twist for good measure.\n\nFounded by Paul Richards\, Bert Lams\, and Hideyo Moriya\, CGT emerged from the creative lineage of guitarist Robert Fripp and quickly built a reputation for precision\, interplay\, and adventurous musical exploration. Today\, the trio continues its evolution with Paul Richards\, Bert Lams\, and Chapman Stick player Tom Griesgraber\, who joined the group in 2020. Griesgraber’s addition expanded the ensemble’s sonic palette with deep bass textures\, orchestral layering\, and new harmonic possibilities while preserving CGT’s signature musical language.\n\nEqually known for dazzling musicianship and genuine connection with audiences\, CGT concerts blend intricate three-part counterpoint with storytelling\, humor\, and an inviting stage presence that makes listeners feel like participants rather than spectators.

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice. At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review and receive direct feedback from a panel of Stamps faculty members. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \n\nThe works in this year’s exhibition engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\n–Sally Clegg\, Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator & Pedram Baldari\, Assistant Professor\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n
