SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Artist's Reception and Talk \n-- \n\nCurrently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n\n-- \nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCEE Lecture. AI for National and International Security: Opportunities Without Losing Control
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping how we understand and address conflict. This talk introduces emerging tools at the intersection of AI and Digital Twin technologies that enhance early-warning systems\, support mediation\, and strengthen peacebuilding efforts. By combining computational modeling with human-centered conflict transformation\, these approaches offer new ways to anticipate risks and design more responsive interventions.\n   Drawing on global developments and an example scenario from the Western Balkans\, the lecture underscores both the opportunities and the risks associated with introducing AI into fragile political contexts. It stresses that although AI can strengthen dialogue\, enhance foresight\, and support institutional coordination\, its true value relies on robust human oversight and strong ethical governance.\n   \n   Driart Elshani is professor of information and communication technologies at the American University in Kosovo. He has contributed to multiple projects focused on leveraging information technology for development across both government and industry sectors. Professor Elshani's areas of expertise include artificial intelligence (AI)\, e-governance\, and cybersecurity. He was educated at the University of Brussels\, where he earned his Bachelor’s\, Master’s\, and PhD in information sciences and technologies. Professor Elshani is visiting U-M in September 2025 to complete research on a project entitled “Impact of AI on conflict transformation and peacebuilding” in collaboration with Thomas Finholt\, professor of information.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
