SUMMARY:Other:500 Fridays - OSCR: Conflict and Mediation
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we explore the basics of conflict resolution\, including conflict styles\, communication methods\, culture and conflict\, and active listening. We generally create two or more scenarios for participants to practice with that are adapted to the values and day-to-day activities of your group. We encourage participants to apply the communication methods to these scenarios\, and consider how individuals’ differing conflict styles impact how they approach the conflict. If you are familiar with our workshops\, this is our standard workshop that we have offered in past years. This workshop typically runs for 60 minutes.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:By Means of a Pencil
DESCRIPTION:October 9 – November 5\, 2025\nOpening Reception October 9\, 5:00-8:00 pm\nClosing Reception: November 2\, 2:00-5:00 pm\n\nThe U-M Duderstadt Center Gallery presents By Means of a Pencil a solo exhibition by artist and Stamps School of Art & Design LEO Lecturer I Nathan Byrne.\n\nBy Means of a Pencil brings together a body of work centered around the quirky and enigmatic Swiss author Robert Walser. In this exhibition poetic gestures and nods to Walser are able to flourish as visual forms and objects. The work comprises spontaneous and excessively durational works of drawing\, collage\, and sculpture.\n\nFor years\, I have been intrigued by the author Robert Walser’s  mark making which he referred to as his “pencil method” where he would sketch out stories in a radically miniaturized script on diminutive paper fragments. Walser’s pencil method began when he was experiencing severe writer’s cramp and: “hideously and frightfully hated his pen.” He goes on in a letter written in 1927 describing the freeing nature of this process: “I suffered a real breakdown in my hand on account of the pen\, a sort of cramp from whose clutches I slowly\, laboriously freed myself by means of the pencil.”\n\nJust as it was with Walser “by means of a pencil” I was able  to make peace with drawing by radically altering the process by which I approached the act itself. Eventually\, this became processes like my transcription drawings\, in which I write out an entire novel as a form of mark making.\n\nWhile this exhibition mines the Walser archive and the spirit of this author\, this work is just as much about me and my immersion in this “world of Walser.” It is about my own engagement with relationships between language and mark making\, language and sculpture\, language and longing.\n\nThis project was made possible by the generous support of Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nPoster design by Sky Christoph.\n\nHours: 12 – 6 pm\, Tues. – Fri. & Sun.\n\nLocation: 2281 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109

SUMMARY:Exhibition:For All Ages Exhibit

Clements Library’s new exhibit\, “For All Ages” on view weekdays from 12-4 pm between October 3-January 5.\n\nEven though the objects are behind glass\, the co-curators have created an interactive way to explore the display.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Friday Lecture Series | Citizens or Subjects? : The Paradox of Citizenship and Subjecthood in a Southeast Asian Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:This is virtual event. Zoom registration is required: http://myumi.ch/A1bGx\n\nBrunei is the last absolutist kingdom in Southeast Asia and the broader Asia-Pacific. Often\, Bruneians are portrayed as passive\, docile subjects of the Sultan\, but the reality is far more nuanced. This lecture reveals a surprising paradox: Bruneians are both citizens and subjects at the same time. I argue that this hybrid status\, which I term 'civic subjecthood\,' compels Bruneians to constantly negotiate their political lives\, balancing their status as subjects with subtle acts of citizenship\, often in the form of ‘quiet activism.’ Tracing the historical development of this dual identity from the twentieth century to the present day\, this lecture explores how a composite system of (neo)traditional and modern governance was invented by the British during indirect rule and later inherited by the Sultan upon independence. Ultimately\, understanding this process not only provides insight into how people perform political life in Brunei's unique system but also offers a new lens for examining how individuals operate under other authoritarian monarchies in the modern world.\n\nMu'izz Abdul Khalid is a Research Associate at the Global Awareness and Impact Alliance (GAIA)\, specializing in authoritarian monarchies and Southeast Asian studies. He brings extensive experience\, having served as a 2024-25 Fung Global Fellow at Princeton University and an adjunct lecturer at Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD). He received his graduate training from the National University of Singapore and University College London.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at valdezjo@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
