SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Zamolodchikov Periodic Cluster Algebras
DESCRIPTION:In 2007\, Fomin and Zelevinsky introduced the bipartite belt\, a sequence of bipartite cluster mutations whose exchange relations form a discrete dynamical system. When the system is periodic\, we call this Zamolodchikov periodicity. In this talk\, we discuss the classification of all Zamolodchikov periodic cluster algebras\, with connections to W-graphs\, root systems\, and maximal green sequences. We observe that there is a natural red-blue statistic on the associated tropical dynamics that is homomesic\, and use laminations to prove it for finite type. This gives a natural bijection between colored mutations in the dynamical system and roots in the associated root system.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Ken Ridgway
DESCRIPTION:During the last two decades there has been a focus of integrated research by many geoscientists on the collision and subduction of the Yakutat microplate/oceanic plateau in southern Alaska. These studies build on the pioneering work of USGS geologists George Plafker\, Don Miller\, Don Richter\, and others. In this talk\, I will focus mainly on the sedimentary record of Cenozoic flat slab subduction processes in southern Alaska.  We will first discuss the sedimentary strata that were deposited directly on the Yakutat oceanic plateau that forms the lower plate of the convergent boundary. The lower plate strata archive the record of initial collision farther to the south\, strike-slip transport along the Cordilleran margin\, and ongoing subduction of the oceanic plateau beneath Alaska. Large parts of the lower plate strata have been incorporated into the upper plate of the southern Alaska convergent margin along the active collisional zone. We will then discuss the record of flat slab subduction processes on the upper plate of the southern Alaska convergent boundary. Flat slab subduction has had a profound impact on the formation and exhumation of sedimentary basins\, the locations of volcanic arc systems\, and the generation of the highest topography in North America. I will end the talk by briefly discussing ongoing collaborative research projects in the northern Cordillera.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Beyond the Seas Blue
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/E775e\n\nIn this lecture\, Kazmi will discuss *Beyond the Seas Blue* alongside earlier projects that connect contemporary technologies to histories of science\, material transformation\, and knowledge production in the Middle East and South Asia.\n\nAsma Kazmi is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the relationships among art\, technology\, history\, and power. Through installations\, video\, sculpture\, virtual environments\, and collaborative research\, she examines how contemporary technologies emerge from longer histories of science\, extraction\, trade\, and knowledge production. Her work centers connections between the Middle East\, South Asia\, and the West\, often using archives\, material culture\, and speculative storytelling. Her newest project\, *Beyond the Seas Blue*\, traces lapis lazuli from the mines of Badakhshan through histories of pigment making\, museums\, colonial collecting\, and digital infrastructure. Kazmi is associate professor of art practice at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and teaches at the Berkeley Center for New Media.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.
