SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: “Ordered to Leave”: Expulsion and the Origins of Jim Crow in Small-town America\, 1890s-1920s
DESCRIPTION:Why is small-town America overwhelmingly white? While we know much about the history of Jim Crow in the South and increasingly in the urban North and South\, we know little about the\nracial system that emerged in small towns outside the South. Focusing on towns in Indiana and Napa Valley\, California\, this talk considers how a culture of expulsion became a distinguishing feature of Jim Crow in small towns. Tensions related to migration\, labor\, and morality fueled racial discourses and practices as expulsion quietly and legally became part of the routine of daily life in small-town America.\n\nStephen A. Berrey is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Associate Professor of American Culture and History at the University of Michigan. He is chair of the James W. Loewen Foundation\, and Director of the Sundown Towns Project (https://justice.tougaloo.edu)\, a public engagement initiative begun by Loewen to document places that have intentionally excluded some racial groups. He is the author of The Jim Crow Routine: Everyday Performances of Race\, Civil Rights\, and Segregation in Mississippi (2015). With the Singing Justice Collective\, a collaboration of scholars and performers\, he is co-author of Black Song: A Manifesto for Music and Justice (forthcoming 2026).\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

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: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.
