SUMMARY:Exhibition:Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory
DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution. A century later\, it was an abandoned building with an uncertain future. From cornerstone to keystone\, from the first director to the people who saved it from destruction\, explore the life of a historic observatory 170 years in the making.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is being developed by student docents at the Detroit Observatory. Presented by the Judy and Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory\, part of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is now on display at the Detroit Observatory (1398 Ann Street\, Ann Arbor\, 48109). View the exhibit during the Observatory's open hours:\nThursdays 12-5 pm\nFridays 12-11 pm\nSelected Saturdays 12-5 pm

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense - Global change impacts on plant and carbon dynamics in montane meadows
DESCRIPTION:Dissertation abstract: Plant biomass\, a key carbon pool\, is being affected by global changes\, including shifts in plant community composition and changes in abiotic conditions. High-elevation\, montane places\, in particular\, are being strongly impacted by warming temperatures\, changing snowmelt\, and species invasion. Though these global change processes are happening simultaneously\, we know little about how they will interact to impact carbon cycling across different temporal scales. My dissertation addresses this research gap with three interrelated field experiments in montane meadows of Colorado and New Zealand. First\, I worked in a long-term warming and dominant species removal experiment set at two elevations to measure how warming and dominant species removal impact subdominant plant biomass and the rate of biomass change across a growing season. Warming decreased subdominant plant biomass\, and dominant species removal increased subdominant plant biomass at both elevations\, consistently across the growing season. Biomass differences manifested in the first week of the growing season and persisted throughout the growing season\, with no treatment effects on the growth rate of the plants\, suggesting that early-season biomass conditions are important in determining overall plant biomass. Next\, I investigated how warming interacted with an invasive dominant species to impact carbon cycling across the growing season in a montane grassland in New Zealand. Removal of the invasive dominant species reduced the productivity of the system\, reducing the strength of the carbon sink. Though warming did not impact the productivity of the invaded plots\, warming increased the productivity of the native plant community\, suggesting that the native plant community could play an important role in maintaining productivity in future\, warmer climate scenarios. Finally\, I investigated how a shift in the early-season abiotic conditions\, earlier snowmelt\, might impact carbon cycling across the growing season in a montane meadow in Colorado. Earlier snowmelt increased the strength of the carbon sink\, though unequally throughout the growing season. With earlier snowmelt\, the growing season started earlier and increased carbon uptake through peak season. However\, the late season had a weaker carbon sink\, likely due to the earlier soil drying. Taken together\, my dissertation reveals the many ways global change is likely to impact carbon cycling across temporal scales in highly sensitive montane environments.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Hiring to Displace: How Employers Use Legal Status to Reshape Workplace Power
DESCRIPTION:Legal status is not just context\, and its relevance is not confined to ethnic niches. It functions as a managerial instrument of workplace governance within large and complex organizations. I develop the concept of orchestrated racialized displacement to specify how organizations transform legal status vulnerability into managerial control under a race-neutral compliance veneer. Based on a multiyear ethnography of Southern manufacturing\, nearly 300 interviews\, and archival research\, I trace four interlocking levers: (1) staffing agency partnerships\, (2) selective verification\, (3) performance metrics that reward speed and compliance\, and (4) job redesign. Together\, these practices are deployed to recruit and retain Latino immigrant workers without federal work authorization and establish a credible threat regime that reallocates tasks\, shifts\, and promotions\; discipline U.S.-born workers\; and narrow mobility ladders\, with disproportionate effects on Black workers. By linking shopfloor routines to organizational partnerships and local labor markets\, the analysis clarifies why standard accounts (network effects\, “race-neutral” HR\, or shifts in demand) are incomplete. The framework identifies the organizational levers\, rather than just the outcomes\, through which firms remake internal labor markets. It also formalizes a meso-level account connecting managerial practice to durable segmentation.
