SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Locality as a Design Variable at Interfaces
DESCRIPTION:Interfacial function is often attributed to the few atomic layers at a boundary. For mixed-dimensional interfaces\, however\, how far that influence extends depends strongly on direction. The same boundary can act locally along one crystallographic direction and nonlocally along another\, reaching tens to hundreds of nanometers into adjoining materials. While theory has long recognized such nonlocality\, directly resolving it at functioning interfaces has remained challenging. I argue that the locality of an interface\, the distance over which its influence reaches\, is not a fixed material property but a design variable revealed by resolving the interfacial response in momentum\, space\, and time. My group achieves this using momentum-resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy\, transient absorption spectroscopy\, and time-resolved photoemission microscopy. I will discuss two case studies. In MoOCl2\, an anisotropic van der Waals crystal\, the interface extends far along one in-plane direction while remaining confined along the orthogonal one\, making a single boundary simultaneously local and nonlocal. In cobalt and iron oxides\, the balance is set instead by the material: regions of local bonding and defect trapping can dominate in one oxide\, while strain and interfacial fields carry influence across buried interfaces in another. Together\, these examples show that the role of locality at an interface can be tuned by direction\, structure\, and composition\, providing a route to engineer light–matter interactions for photocatalysis and quantum emitters.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:One Hundred Years in the One Hundred Acre Wood: Winnie-the-Pooh Has a Birthday
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the 100th anniversary of A.A. Milne’s \"Winnie-the-Pooh.\" We'll feature original editions\, pop-up and movable book versions of the stories\, and other tales featuring Pooh\, Piglet\, Kanga\, Roo\, Eeyore\, Tigger\, Owl\, Rabbit\, and Christopher Robin.\n\nJoin us in the Special Collections Research Center (on the 6th floor of Hatcher) for Third Thursdays at the Library\, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections. While you’re here\, pick up a passport and collect a stamp from each of the four Third Thursday Open Houses — Asia Library\, Clark Library\, International Studies\, and Special Collections Research Center — to win a poster.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Open Questions: Institutional Neutrality
DESCRIPTION:Featuring UM faculty with diverse perspectives\, this panel series will foster discussion of moderately controversial topics relevant to the UM and Washtenaw County communities. In a time of deep polarization\, these events are designed to encourage dialogue\, not debate\, and model the respectful\, open exchange of ideas. In order to encourage meaningful\, open dialogue\, the panel will not be streamed or posted.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Radical Aesthetics: Literary and Artistic Expressions of Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Come explore creative expressions of resistance through materials from the International Studies collections.\n\nArtists often become the voice\, memory\, and visual language of a movement. When political expression is restricted\, art can communicate ideas and emotions.\n\nThis month’s open house will feature literature\, music\, and visual art of political and social movements around the world\, from the revolutionary poetry and anthems of Gaddar\, to murals of the Arab Spring\, and digital art in solidarity with the Woman\, Life\, Freedom movement of Iran. \n\nJoin us for Third Thursdays at the Library\, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections.\n\nWhile you’re here\, pick up a Third Thursdays Passport and collect a stamp! Make it around to all four Third Thursday Open Houses — the Clark Library\, International Studies\, Asia Library\, and the Special Collections Research Center — and win a prize!

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Soul of America: 250 Years Through Books
DESCRIPTION:The online exhibit \"Soul of America: 250 Years Through Books\" (https://myumi.ch/DW8eE) shares a personal perspective on American identity through the lens of University of Michigan Press books. Stop by the Press archive (never normally open to visitors) to view almost 100 years of original publications from the University of Michigan's publishing arm and to pick up a free copy of the exhibit catalog.\n\nLarnell Gross\, Honors BA student in Political Communication\, created the exhibit to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence\, and will be on hand to chat and sign your catalog! Head to the 4th floor of the Shapiro Library\, room 4172.
