SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Introduction to the Art of Calligraphy with Khalid Casado
DESCRIPTION:Get a brief overview of the history of the art of calligraphy\, become acquainted with the tools used\, and try using a reed pen while beginning a traditional lesson in sülüs (thuluth) script\, a form of Arabic calligraphy. Please register (https://forms.gle/29U6Z1AczfLBAVZj9)\, as this workshop is limited to 20 participants.\n\nPablo Casado\, born in Madrid\, Spain\, always felt a special attraction toward the shapes of Arabic calligraphy\, but didn't encounter the reed pen until 2008\, when he attended a brief introductory course on Naskh (nesih) calligraphy. He traveled to Istanbul for the first time in 2009\, studied extensively under calligraphy masters\, and in 2014\, after devoting himself completely to learning this art\, he received his icazet or calligraphy diploma in sülüs and nesih styles from IRCICA (Research Center for Islamic History Art and Culture)\, signed by the masters Hassan Çelebi\, Ferhat Kurlu and Nuria García.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“Power\, Purpose and the Color of Wealth: An Economic Vision that Centers People and the Environments in Which We Live”
DESCRIPTION:Join the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics as we host Darrick Hamilton​\, University and Henry Cohen Professor of Economics and Urban Policy at The New School. Darrick will present\, “Power\, Purpose and the Color of Wealth: An Economic Vision that Centers People and the Environments in Which We Live.”\n\nAbstract: “This talk will set the stage with a brief presentation of the Color of Wealth series\, an exploration of wealth and economic well-being across seven metropolitan areas: Baltimore\, Boston\, Chicago\, Los Angeles\, Miami\, Tulsa\,  Washington DC. disaggregated by race and ancestry.\n\nWith this backdrop\, the talk will explore the manner in which  asymmetries in power and economic agency\, especially by race and other identity groupings\, link to political economic structures and more macro economic deprivations that plague our economy. Ultimately\, this talk will explore the concepts of purpose\, power\, paradigm and solidarity with a purpose of defining and determining an alternative economic vision for a human rights economy  as the point and mechanism for a well-functioning economy and multiracial democracy.”\n\nDarrick Hamilton is the University Professor and Henry Cohen Professor of Economics and Urban Policy at The New School\, where he also founded and directs the Institute on Race\, Power & Political Economy. He additionally serves as Chief Economist at the AFL-CIO. Widely regarded as one of the nation’s foremost public intellectuals\, Professor Hamilton reimagines how an economy should work—identifying bold opportunities to invest in our human capacity and fostering collaborations that advance economic inclusion\, social equity\, and civic engagement in the United States and around the world.\n\nA pioneer in the economics subfield of identity group stratification\, Professor Hamilton’s research has been featured in The New York Times\, Mother Jones\, Bloomberg Businessweek\, and The Wall Street Journal. He has developed and advised on transformative policy proposals—such as baby bonds\, guaranteed income\, and a federal job guarantee—that have inspired legislation and shifted billions of dollars toward building a fair and inclusive economy.\n\nIn 2025\, Professor Hamilton was named the Katherine Hampson Bessell Fellow at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute and was recognized as a Freedom Scholar by the Marguerite Casey Foundation in its 2020 inaugural class. He has advised national and global leaders on economic policy\, including the U.S. Joint Economic Committee and the Senate Banking Committee and also serves on the board of directors of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER).\n\nBorn and raised in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood\, Professor Hamilton earned his bachelor’s degree from Oberlin College and his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.\n\nPlease RSVP to save your seat.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Improved Inference for Nonparametric Regression (joint with G.Cavaliere\, M. Nielsen\, and E. Zanelli)
DESCRIPTION:Nonparametric regression estimators\, including those employed in regression-discontinuity designs (RDD)\, are central to the economist’s toolbox. Their application\, however\, is complicated by the presence of asymptotic bias\, which undermines coverage accuracy of conventional confidence intervals. Extant solutions to the problem include debiasing methods\, such as the widely applied robust bias-corrected (RBC) confidence interval of Calonico et al. (2014\, 2018). We show that this interval is equivalent to a prepivoted interval based on an invalid residualbased bootstrap method. Specifically\, prepivoting performs an implicit bias correction while adjusting the nonparametric regression estimator’s standard error to account for the additional uncertainty introduced by debiasing. This idea can also be applied to other bootstrap schemes\, leading to new implicit bias corrections and corresponding standard error adjustments. We propose a prepivoted interval based on a bootstrap that generates observations from nonparametric regression estimates at each regressor value and show how it can be implemented as an RBCtype interval without the need for resampling. Importantly\, we show that the new interval is shorter than the existing RBC interval. For example\, with the Epanechnikov kernel\, the length is reduced by 17%\, while maintaining accurate coverage probability. This result holds irrespectively of: (a) the evaluation point being in the interior or on the boundary\; (b) the use of a ‘small’ or ‘large’ bandwidths\; (c) the distribution of the regressor and the error term.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through November 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (September 12 - November 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Research Institute | Quantum Spin-Mechanics with Color Centers in Diamond: A Potential Platform for Quantum Computing
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: West Hall 411\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91761768567?jst=2\n\nAbstract:\nIn a spin-mechanical system\, electron spins are coupled to vibrations of a nanomechanical resonator.  Coherent interactions between single spins and single phonons take place in the quantum regime of spin-mechanics.  A network of these resonators can enable phonon-mediated coupling between distant electron spin\, leading to a mechanical quantum network of spin qubits and providing an experimental platform for developing spin-based quantum computers.  \nIn this talk\, I will discuss our recent advance in achieving ultracoherent GHz diamond nanomechanical resonators and in developing mechanical quantum networks of spin qubits in diamond.  Localization and localization phase transitions induced by deterministic onsite potentials in a mechanical network are also exploited for the realization of extended network connectivity\, which is deemed essential for large-scale fault tolerant quantum computers. \n\nBio:\nHailin Wang received B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the University of Science and Technology of China and the University of Michigan in 1982 and 1990\, respectively. He was a research investigator at the University of Michigan and subsequently a staff consultant at AT&T Bell Laboratories. He joined the University of Oregon in 1995 where he is now a professor of physics. Dr. Wang has made important contributions to the current understanding of coherent as well as incoherent optical processes in semiconductor nanostructures. He also made the first experimental demonstration of amplitude squeezed light from an injection-locked diode laser and developed a fused silica optical resonator that feature highly directional evanescent tunneling. His work on exciton spin coherence and biexciton coherence has recently led to the first demonstration of electromagnetically induced transparency for interband optical transitions in semiconductors. His current research interest includes optical manipulation of quantum coherences in semiconductors and especially its application in both classical and quantum information processing. Dr. Wang is a recipient of an NSF-CAREER award and is a fellow of the Optical Society of America.
