SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probability/Analysis Circle: What is the Toda Lattice?
DESCRIPTION:To briefly answer the question in the title\, the Toda lattice is a system of particles connected with springs having an exponential force law.  It turns out that the exponential force law is very special\, allowing one to completely describe the dynamics of the system.  In this talk\, we will solve the Toda lattice explicitly in the case of two particles\, and describe the long-term dynamics of the system by analyzing the solution.  Then we will show how the method can be generalized so that any number of particles can be handled with similar precision.  The general method involves a surprising connection with linear algebra.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:America at 250: Reflections on the Bicentennial
DESCRIPTION:The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library is proud to announce the opening of a new exhibit\, America at 250: Reflections on the Bicentennial.\n\nThe exhibit explores how President Ford joined Americans across the country in commemorating the Bicentennial. Highlighting some of the nationwide celebrations in 1976 and public gifts given to President Ford\, the exhibit asks visitors to reflect on our own Semiquincentennial commemorations.\n\nThe exhibit\, located in the Library's lobby\, will be free to visitors and will be available until December 3\, 2026.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Dissertation Defense- Pattern and process across temporal scales of biodiversity turnover
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Across the vastest scales of time and space\, biodiversity reveals staggering variability\, with species numbers differing dramatically among otherwise similar groups of organisms. Previous studies have shown that species traits\, such as physical characteristics or ecological roles\, often fail to explain these patterns. This dissertation explores whether emergent\, population-level processes influence species formation and extinction rates\, thus addressing a core question in evolutionary biology: how and why did life become so diverse? Specifically\, I investigate whether sexual selection intensity (Chapter 2) and population-level persistence over decadal timescales (Chapter 3) or millennia (Chapter 4) drive diversification rates at million-year timescales. I also show how mixing different levels of organization\, like species and populations\, can severely bias inferences on evolutionary rates across millions of years (Chapter 5). Finally\, I present an open-source tool for teaching evolutionary biology through an interactive\, data-driven framework (Chapter 6). I conclude that a comprehensive understanding of Earth's biodiversity dynamics demands the integration of evidence across a wide array of disciplines.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Wayward Images
DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.
