SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cathy Barry Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Cathy Barry has a profound connection to the natural world\, which has shaped her artistic journey. She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Complexity in the Social World: The Challenging Case of Structural Racism
DESCRIPTION:This two-day conference will examine how interdisciplinary collaboration can inform our understanding of structural racism and the way we think about complex topics.\n\nPlease register to attend at https://myumi.ch/2rxWR. Early career scholars may apply for travel awards by Sept. 12\, 2025 at https://myumi.ch/z9je9.\n\n\nThe challenge: With the growth of both big data availability and computing power\, there has been a rapid increase in new methods to understanding complexity in the social world. However\, there may not have been a concurrent growth in the foundations of scientific inquiry\, including complex thinking\, broad causal thinking\, and an integration of theories and frameworks across disciplines to guide empirical tests. Further\, evidence suggests that the academic research model\, with its resource-segregated networks\, narrow scientific\, discipline-specific training\, and focus on measures of short-term productivity\, contributes to a fragmented and even misleading understanding of the social world.\n\nThe rapid growth in racial inequities research through the concept of ‘structural racism’ is a case study in the challenges that arise without a thorough integration of theories drawn from source humanities and humanities-informed social science and with an academic model built on segregated resources that prioritizes short-term products. What has resulted is a literature that\, at times\, sidesteps difficult questions on how to understand the interconnected systems and processes that link racial patterns in social\, economic\, and political life over place and time. \n\nSymposium purpose: This meeting is intended to address the challenges to the social science literature on race and the concept of structural racism. We will convene discussions about social scientific inquiry\, the limitations of the academic research model\, and innovative approaches to the study of racial patterns and inequities while working to desegregate research networks.
