SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Communities in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Archives at the University of Michigan have been working to develop new connections and relationships around the state of Michigan in the hopes of re-envisioning and re-connecting collections to communities in engaging and ethical ways. We are working to develop a paradigm of “shared stewardship.” When the Smithsonian adopted a Shared Stewardship and Ethical Returns policy in 2022\, Lonnie G. Bunch III\, Secretary of the Smithsonian\, described the policy as “a cultural shift in our concepts of possession\, ownership\, and stewardship of collections.” The Smithsonian’s new policy is designed to address the harm caused by the museum’s past extractive practices and engage\, consult\, and work collaboratively with descendants and communities represented in their collections.\n\nAt the University of Michigan\, we are building on this approach\, which has become increasingly common in museums\, to apply it to archival collections and communities of records. In May 2026\, we are hosting a symposium on the topic\, which will feature contributions from unique archives-community collaborations from around the State and allow for productive conversations about how to build and encourage further shared stewardship among Michigan archives.\n\nOur goals in hosting the symposium are to:\n\n- Create an opportunity for archivists from a variety of institutions across Michigan to share and discuss different ways to document diverse histories and build collaborative relationships between archives and records creators\n- Explore new approaches to  the archival record\, programming and outreach\, and teaching and research at archives across the state that will foster and create more diverse and comprehensive histories of life in Michigan\n- To build toward a set of best practices that will support and encourage archival professionals across Michigan\, and the nation\, to foster collaborative relationships with records creators and source communities.\n\nThe symposium will feature three panels and will be followed by a keynote panel and a reception. Attendees may also attend the panel and keynote events via webinar\, which is free and requires registration.\n\nThe symposium will take place online and on the UM-Ann Arbor campus on May 21\, 2026\, and is part of the Towards Community-Based\, Shared Stewardship project. It is free and open to ALL to attend. \n\nThe Communities in Conversation: Towards Community-Based Shared Stewardship in Michigan Archives Symposium is co-presented by the Bentley Historical Library\, the School of Information\, and the Inclusive History Project.\n\nQuestions? Email us at inclusivehistory@umich.edu.\n\n--\n\nSchedule\n\nDoors open to the public\n9:45am\n\nWelcome\, Opening Remarks\, and Symposium Framing from IHP Co-Chair Earl Lewis and CiC Symposium Organizers\n10:00am – 10:30am\n\nLocation: Dow Room\, 4th Floor\, Leinweber Bldg\n\nSession 1: “Listening” Panel Discussion\n10:30am – 12/noon\n\nThis panel examines collaborations between archival repositories\, libraries\, and local communities to preserve community histories in ways that are responsive to community needs.  Panelists will discuss and explore what it means to develop archival projects that preserve and provide access to history in ways that center community needs.\n\nPanelists: Eric Gollanek\, Lindsay Hiltunen\, Sarah Lundy\, and Sarah Fayen Scarlett\nModerator: Michelle McClellan\n\nLocation: Dow Room\, 4th Floor\, Leinweber Bldg\n\nFree\, catered lunch\n12/noon – 1:15pm\n\nSession 2: “Engaging” Panel Discussion\n1:15 – 2:45pm\n\nThis panel reflects on a core question that repositories face when they decide they want to engage in shared stewardship: where do I start? Panelists will discuss their experiences doing outreach to source communities or working with organizations as a community member. They will together consider how to begin building a relationship\, what actions build trust\, and how those experiences can differ across various organizations and communities.\n\nPanelists: Finn Bell\, Marcia Black\, and Eric Hemenway\nModerator: Alexis Antracoli\n\nLocation: Dow Room\, 4th Floor\, Leinweber Bldg\n\nCoffee break\n2:45 – 3:00pm\n\nSession 3: “Capacity Building” Panel Discussion\n3:00 – 4:30pm\n\nPanelists discuss what it takes to actually build and sustain a program\, platform\, or service that meets community needs. The panel will tackle issues such as technological infrastructure\, funding\, volunteers\, shared decision-making\, and creative problem solving. Together\, the panelists will explore the challenges and promise of creating and sustaining projects and programs that center the preservation of community histories in the context of shared power.\n\nPanelists: Andrew MacLaren\, Carrie Marsh\, and Annika Peterson\nModerator: Jesse Johnston\n\nLocation: Dow Room\, 4th Floor\, Leinweber Bldg\n\nCoffee break\n4:30 – 5:00pm\n\nSession 4: Communities in Conversation Keynote Roundtable with Diana Marsh\, Jennifer Garcon\, and Selena Ortega-Chiolero\nModerator: Ricardo Punzalan\n5:00 – 6:15pm\n\nLocation: Large Lecture Hall\, 1st Floor\, Leinweber Bldg\n\nCommunities in Conversation Reception with light fare.\n6:30pm – 7:30pm\n\nLocation: Location: Bentley Historical Library\, 1150 Beal Ave\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:June 1-10\, 2026  MWF Course - Data Collection Using Wearables\, Sensors\, and Apps in the Social\, Behavioral\, and Health Sciences
DESCRIPTION:June 1-10\, 2026  MWF\n10:00am - 1:00pm\nA live course via Zoom. Registration and payment are required a minimum of two weeks prior to the start of the course. \n\nFounded in 1948\, the Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques is designed specifically to meet the needs of professionals and graduate students seeking to deepen their expertise in survey methodology and data collection. Offered through the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science within the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan\, the program provides a rigorous and flexible curriculum that blends theoretical foundations with practical application — entirely online.\n\nData Collection Using Wearables\, Sensors\, and Apps in the Social\, Behavioral\, and Health Sciences\n\nThe recent proliferation of mobile technology allows researchers to collect objective health and behavioral data at increased intervals\, in real time\, and may also reduce participant burden. In this course\, we will provide examples of the utility of and integration of wearables\, sensors\, and apps in research settings. Examples will include the use of wearable health devices to measure activity\, apps for ecological momentary assessment\, and smartphone sensors to measure sound and movement\, among others. Additionally\, this course will consider the integration of these new technologies into existing surveys and the quality of the data collected from the total survey error perspective. We will discuss considerations for assessing coverage\, participation\, and measurement error when integrating wearables\, sensors\, and apps in a research setting as well as the costs and privacy considerations when collecting these types of data. Participants will work in groups to discuss a research study design using new technology and have the opportunity for hands-on practice with sensor data.\n\nHeidi Guyer is Senior Public Health Research Scientist at RTI International. Before joining RTI\, she was a Senior Survey Director and oversaw data collection on large national and international health research projects at the University of Michigan. She received a PhD in Epidemiology from the University of Michigan and a Master of Public Health from the University of Texas. She has extensive experience in population-based data collection\, cross-sectional and longitudinal health surveys\, and adapting clinical measures and new technology in health research. Her substantive areas of research have focused on the association between health behaviors\, such as sleep and diet quality\, and the development of chronic health conditions.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:June 1-5\, 2026 Course - Introduction to the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) Workshop
DESCRIPTION:June 1-5\, 2026 M-F\n10:00am - $3:00pm\nA live course via Zoom. Registration and payment are required a minimum of two weeks prior to the start of the course. \n\nIntroduction to the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) Workshop\n\nThe Health and Retirement Study (hrs.isr.umich.edu) workshop is intended to give participants an introduction to the study that will enable them to get started using the data for research. HRS is a large-scale longitudinal study with more than 20 years of data on the labor force participation and health transitions that individuals undergo toward the end of their work lives and in the years that follow. This online workshop is intended for users who have little to no experience using HRS data.\n\nContent lectures delivered by HRS co-investigators and content area experts on basic survey content\, sample design\, weighting\, and restricted data files will be available on the course website for viewing ahead of time. During the week of the workshop\, each content lecturer will participate in a Zoom meeting with the class to answer questions about their lecture. The majority of each day will be devoted to data labs in which participants will gain experience using the data\, with a strong focus on introductory data management and simple data analysis.\n\nAmanda Sonnega\, PhD\, is a Research Scientist in the Survey Research Center of the Institute for Social Research (ISR) at the University of Michigan (UM)\, where she is responsible for integrating communication\, outreach\, and education efforts for the Health and Retirement Study. She received her doctorate through the Department of Health\, Behavior\, and Society at the Johns Hopkins University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship within the ISR program in Social Environment and Health. Dr. Sonnega has lectured in the UM School of Public Health on psychosocial factors in health-related behavior. Her research focuses on life course trajectories of physical and mental health\; institutional and personal factors associated with vulnerability and resilience in aging individuals\; and work transitions and their broad effects on health and well-being.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through November 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (September 12 - November 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.
