SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CMW: Anxiety & Procrastination
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunch workshop and wellness group where we will learn more about how anxiety can lead to procrastination and tips to cope with both. This FREE in-person educational wellness group is for students only and will include an interactive presentation facilitated by staff from the Eisenberg Family Depression Center and is a collaborative service with U-M Engineering's C.A.R.E. Center and the Newnan Academic Advising Center.Registration is not required for in-person wellness groups\, but is recommended so there is enough lunch for all attendees.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Piety and Power: Women and Religious Life in Central Asian Islam
DESCRIPTION:This talk introduces the story of Aghā-yi Buzurg\, an extraordinary woman who lived in sixteenth-century Bukhara—located in present-day Uzbekistan—and became one of the few known female Sufi leaders in Islamic history. Her life is documented in a hagiography titled *The Manifestation of Wonders*\, written by her male disciple. In a historical context where women’s religious authority was rarely recorded\, this text offers a rare window into how a woman could gain spiritual\, social\, and even political influence in early modern Central Asia. Aghā-yi Buzurg was not only respected for her personal piety but also led a wide network of followers\, advised rulers\, and competed with prominent male religious figures of her time. Her story challenges modern assumptions about gender roles in Muslim societies\, especially in the history of the Central Asian region. By examining her life and legacy\, Professor Shanazarova’s presentation invites the audience to reconsider how power\, gender\, and religion were intertwined in pre-modern Central Asia and to reflect on the broader historical dynamics that have shaped women's roles in the region.\n   \n   Aziza Shanazarova is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Religion at Columbia University. Her research centers on the religious history of Islamic Central Asia and the Persianate world\, focusing on the sixteenth to twentieth centuries. She earned a dual PhD in Religious Studies and Central Eurasian Studies from Indiana University-Bloomington in 2019. Prior to joining Columbia\, she taught at Stanford University and the University of Pittsburgh\, where she held a postdoctoral position.\n   \n   Shanazarova is the author of *Female Religiosity in Central Asia: Sufi Leaders in the Persianate World* (Cambridge University Press 2024)\, which received an honorable mention from the British Association for Islamic Studies/BRAIS-De Gruyter Prize in the Study of Islam and the Muslim World in 2022. She also published *Manifestations of a Sufi Woman in Central Asia: A Critical Edition of Ḥāfiẓ-i Baṣīr’s Maẓhar al-ʻajā’ib* (Brill 2020). Her peer-reviewed articles have been featured in leading journals\, including *Der Islam*\, *Journal of Sufi Studies*\, *Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society*\, *Journal of Islamic Manuscripts*\, and the *International Journal of Islam in Asia*.\n\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:For All Ages Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In the 19th century\, new ideas about childhood and education\, along with advances in printing like chromolithography\, made it possible to mass-produce games and toys. These were not only fun to play with but also taught practical skills and moral lessons. Learn about familiar and unique toys and board games throughout American history in the William L. Clements Library’s new exhibit\, “For All Ages” on view weekdays from 12-4 pm between October 3-January 5.\n\nEven though the objects are behind glass\, the co-curators have created an interactive way to explore the display. Visit the exhibit to participate in a scavenger hunt and win a prize!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Form factors in the large-N bootstrap
DESCRIPTION:Well after 50 years since the discovery of QCD\, we are still lacking a description of the theory of strong interactions at low energies. For instance\, we do not know how to produce the rich meson spectrum out of the handful of parameters in the QCD Lagrangian\, other than by brute-force lattice simulations. This has prompted a revival of the S-matrix bootstrap\, which aims to single out the theory as the unique set of scattering amplitudes consistent with certain self-consistency conditions. This approach has led to sharp\, rigorous bounds for pion scattering in the large N limit. But these bounds are completely agnostic about the UV completion of the theory. In this talk I will explain how\, by enlarging the system to include form factors and two-point functions\, one can input UV information (computed with perturbative QCD) into the bootstrap. We will see how this improves upon the previous bounds.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:How State Context Shapes the Long Arm of Childhood
DESCRIPTION:What is the role of state contextual factors in shaping the well-documented relationship between childhood SES and health in later life? Join the Panel Study of Income Dynamics as they host\, Emily Dore\, postdoctoral research fellow at the Social Policies for Health Equity Research (SPHERE) Center at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Please RSVP by November 14 to receive lunch. \n\nAbstract: \"Research has repeatedly shown that individual-level measures of childhood socioeconomic status (SES)\, such as parental income and education\, are associated with health in later life. Less explored is the role of state contextual factors in shaping this relationship between childhood SES and adult health. Illuminating structural and political determinants of health along the life span can improve interventions by broadening their reach to the population level\, complimenting interventions that concentrate on individual behavioral changes. In this presentation\, Dr. Dore will present findings from two projects that explore these questions using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. The first investigates how the relationship between childhood SES and health in adulthood varies across states\, and which state contexts may be driving observed differences. The second examines a specific policy intervention\, welfare reform in the mid-1990s\, to understand how exposure to different types of welfare programming in childhood shapes health years later.\"
