SUMMARY:Performance:Adam Lenhart\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Graduate student Adam Lenhart performs on the Charles Baird Carillon\, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | When Self-Empowerment Goes South (or East\, More Precisely): Gender\, Neoliberalism\, and Romance Fraud in Japan
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in East Hall 4448 and virtually on Zoom. If you are attending in person\, we recommend entering East Hall using the Church Street entrance and taking the elevator to the 4th floor. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/rwr6E.\n\nBuilding on scholarship on changing gender and intimacy norms under neoliberalism in Japan\, this lecture explores how these transformations are reflected in the realm of romance fraud. Drawing on two contrasting sets of empirical material—interviews with romance fraud victims and publications and interviews with followers and supporters of the fraudster ‘Ririchan the Grantee Gal’—the lecture argues that these seemingly disparate groups are connected by a common underlying dynamic: women's struggle for autonomy and/or recognition within a gendered social hierarchy. It examines how aspirations for self-empowerment and liberation\, often intensified by neoliberal ideals of personal responsibility and self-realization\, can paradoxically lead individuals towards both victimization and offending.\n\nDr. Yutaka Yoshida is a lecturer in criminology at Cardiff University. His research explores romance fraud victimization\, digital vigilantism\, and far-right movements in Japan\, with a particular interest in narratives\, identity\, and technology-mediated social harms. His current work examines how romance fraud victims make sense of their experiences and reconstruct their lives in the aftermath of victimization\, drawing on psychosocial approaches.\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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:Curated 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:DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Sophia Luo (Biostatistics)
DESCRIPTION:Tool Link:  https://github.com/lutiffan/methylModes\n\nAbstract\nMethylModes is an R package and Shiny application to identify multimodal distributions in human DNA methylation at individual CpG sites. Multimodal distributions\, which can be the result of nearby genetic variation\, environmental exposures or assay artifacts\, are susceptible to confounding and important to identify for methylation analysis. We developed MethylModes to robustly identify multimodality in beta value distributions using an intuitive algorithm that avoids stringent modeling assumptions. MethylModes is easily incorporated into existing quality control pipelines of array-based DNA methylation data.
