SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Adaptive Methods for High-Order Aerodynamic Shape Optimization
DESCRIPTION:Aerodynamic shape optimization has the potential to fully automate the aerodynamic design process. The optimizer relies heavily on a robust\, accurate\, and efficient computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver. High-order CFD methods have the potential to provide high-accurate solutions but rely on adaptation for robustness and efficiency to strategically distribute degrees of freedom to minimize error for a given cost.\n\nThis dissertation closes many gaps preventing the widespread adoption of high-order methods in shape optimization. A novel curved mesh adaptation method is developed that performs metric-based adaptation on curved meshes improving robustness. An algorithm is developed to adapt the mesh during optimization that balances optimization cost and adaptation cost while ensuring accuracy at the optimum. These methods enable cost effective and accurate optimization.\n\nDate/Location:\nMarch 20th\, 2025 | 10:00 am EDT | FXB 1044\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/95480752465  | passcode: adapt

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Rational equivalences from hyperelliptic curves
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The Chow group of zero-cycles of a variety X points can roughly be described as follows: the generators are closed points of X\, and the relations\, also known as rational equivalences\, are divisors of rational functions on curves in X. In general\, it can be very difficult to tell whether a given zero-cycle is trivial in the Chow group\, and the structure of the Chow group as a whole is very mysterious. Deep conjectures due to Bloch and Beilinson give some indication of what the structure should be and which zero-cycles should vanish\, but very little has been proven in this direction.\n\nIn this talk we will focus on certain abelian surfaces A\, and discuss a collection of methods that can take one of the zero-cycles that is predicted to vanish in Chow and verify that it is indeed a rational equivalence. The key idea behind these methods is a relation between hyperelliptic curves in A and rational curves in the Kummer surface of A. This is joint work with Evangelia Gazaki.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:In-person Arabic Placement test_March 20\, 2025 (10:00am-1:00pm)
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Arabic Placement TestAbout the testThe test is approximately two hours and a half in length\, and it is composed of three portions:a. The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.\nImportant: a. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.b. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.Where can I view my results?c. Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.d. You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) may be offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.* Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) is offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens
DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Presentation:Dissertation Defense: Thurston Theory for a Family of Chebyshev Polynomials and Cosine Maps
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nA cornerstone of complex dynamics is William Thurston's topological characterization of rational functions\, which provides a way to understand when topological objects are realized as geometric objects. These topological objects are finite degree branched maps of the topological sphere S^2 and the geometric objects are holomorphic maps of the Riemann sphere \hat{\mathbb{C}}\, both of which are postcritically finite (i.e.\, the set of points in the orbit of the critical points is finite). We apply this framework to study a one-parameter family of modified Chebyshev polynomials from a dynamical and nondynamical perspective. Our interest in this family comes from the property that it approximates a one-parameter cosine family. This ties into a natural question that has arisen: can Thurston's characterization be extended to entire transcendental maps? In this setting\, the analog of postcritically finite maps are postsingularly finite maps on the complex plane \mathbb{C}\, but for our cosine family\, these notions coincide. Our work is based on the major breakthrough of Hubbard\, Schleicher\, and Shishikura in their characterization of exponential maps. We adapt their techniques for our cosine family to prove a partial characterization of postsingularly finite topological cosine maps.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Great Lakes Seminar Series: David Lodge
DESCRIPTION:About the presentation: Researchers often assume that the value of research in solving problems is self-evident. Yet most research does not lead to solutions\, even when the proposals that launched the research promised solutions. University and government researchers could address this longtime peril by including clear theories of change in project development\, and co-creating and co-executing projects across disciplines and sectors. This would require alignment of funding and infrastructure to support such mission-driven research. In a rapidly changing government landscape\, I will examine past examples of the role of research and technology development in driving change in policies\, practices\, and products. While I do not promise to resolve all the promises and perils\, I will suggest some possible ways forward for solutions-oriented sustainability research in government and universities.\n\nAbout the speaker: Dr. David M. Lodge is the Francis J. DiSalvo director of Cornell University’s Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability. He is an internationally recognized environmental scientist\, with expertise in environmental risk assessment\, freshwater and marine coastal ecology\, ecosystem services\, bioeconomics\, and invasive species. His research has improved ecological forecasting to better inform environmental risk assessment\, natural resource management\, and policy development. Lodge is a leader in the development and application of environmental DNA (eDNA)\, a transformative technological tool for discovering unrecognized biodiversity\, censusing aquatic biodiversity\, and improving the management of imperiled\, invasive\, or harvested species. He is past president of the Ecological Society of America\, and former senior science advisor in the US Department of State’s Office of Polar Affairs. On numerous occasions he has testified before the U.S. Congress\, and served as an expert witness in federal court. He is faculty member in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University.
