SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Who Counts? A History of Voting in America”
DESCRIPTION:Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted\, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth\, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes\, campaign pins and ribbons\, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets\, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit\, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting\, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Designing for Dignity: Strengthening Food Assistance Amid Policy Threats
DESCRIPTION:Kate Bauer is a professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health and director of the newly established Institute for Food\, Nutrition\, and Health Policy (IFNHP) at U-M. Her research focuses on the social influences on children’s eating\, with particular attention to supporting effective parenting and healthy home food environments. Understanding the causes and consequences of food insecurity has been a consistent thread throughout her work\, given the physical\, mental\, and emotional strain it places on parents and children.\n\nBauer will be in conversation with Taylor Moore\, director of Food Rescue at Goodwill Northern Michigan and a member of the Operating Committee of the Northwest Food Coalition. Moore's work focuses on reducing food waste and advancing equitable food access through community organizing and systems change approaches. Over the past decade\, he and his colleagues have expanded consistent\, year-round fruit and vegetable availability from three Northwest Food Coalition pantries to all 37. Active in food system networks at the regional\, state\, and national levels\, Moore has contributed to research incorporating dignity and democratic decision-making practices in food assistance program design.  \n\nThe Real-World Perspectives on Poverty Solutions speaker series is free and open to the public as well as being a one-credit course for U-M students (SW503). In-person talks include coffee\, cookies\, and the chance to ask the speakers questions\, or you can watch the livestream on YouTube.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by U-M School of Public Health and the Institute for Food\, Nutrition\, and Health Policy.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Environments\, Empire\, and More-than-Human Histories
DESCRIPTION:The “environment” is often treated as the background against which human histories unfold: a passive setting for state formation\, migration\, violence\, and social change. Samuel Dolbee’s work challenges this assumption by asking us to consider how borders\, disease\, landscapes\, and ecological systems actively shape the histories of empire and everyday life. In his work \, Dolbee shows how environmental forces were not merely acted upon by states and empires\, but became entangled in the making of borders\, regimes of control\, and imperial knowledge.\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.
