SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Homerathon: A display of manuscripts and early printed editions of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey
DESCRIPTION:View a selection of papyri and early printed books containing Homer’s great epic poems\, the Iliad and the Odyssey\, presented in both the original Greek and in translation. This event is part of the semester-long Homerathon\, a celebration of Homer’s Odyssey that benefits the Shelter Association of Washtenaw County and the members of our community it serves.\n\nIn the words of Brittany Prendergraft\, PhD candidate in Classical Studies and organizer of the Homerathon:\n\n \"Why have the homeless wanderings and struggles of Odysseus in Homer’s Odyssey captivated us for millennia yet we typically ignore those same experiences of members of our own communities? Everyday we walk past human beings also in need of a nostos\, or a return home\, who are fighting battles against their own oppressive forces\, but these are not stories we stop to hear. We want to use our love for the Odyssey to do good for our local community\, so we are creating a Homerathon for the Winter 2026 semester. It is our hope that we can take advantage of the hype surrounding the upcoming Christopher Nolan Odyssey film to do good for the community and for our field.\"\n\nJoin us (on the 6th floor of Hatcher) for Third Thursdays at the Library\, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections. While you’re here\, pick up a passport and collect a stamp from each of the four Third Thursday Open Houses — Asia Library\, Clark Library\, International Studies\, and Special Collections Research Center — to win a prize!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Professors Meghan A. Duffy\, Richard D. Gonzalez\, and Patricia A. Reuter-Lorenz\, Collegiate Professorship Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:This event will take place both in person and virtually.\n\nProfessor Meghan A. Duffy\nSusan S. Kilham Collegiate Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\n\nLecture Title: How Ecological Interactions Influence Infectious Diseases\n\nAbstract: Parasitism is the most common lifestyle on Earth. What determines whether an infection occurs and how sick the host gets? Many people might think about cellular processes when trying to answer this question\, but ecological interactions with other organisms can have profound impacts on infectious diseases. I will cover some of the ways in which other members of the food web – including predators\, plants\, and other parasites – can influence levels of infection. \n\nProfessor Richard D. Gonzalez\nAmos N. Tversky Collegiate Professor of Psychology and Statistics\n\nLecture Title: From Invariance to Insight: A Michigan Approach to Modeling Behavior\n\nAbstract: Behavioral science advances when we turn messy human behavior into a set of reliable observations\, and then ask what hidden structure must be present for those observations to occur. In this talk I describe a “Michigan approach” to behavioral modeling that I learned in graduate school through my academic lineage: a way to think so that assumptions become clear\, implications become testable\, and structure can be inferred rather than asserted. I will give two examples of this approach from my research on how people make decisions.  I will discuss why this way of thinking matters now. As our tools for estimation and representation become more powerful\, the limiting factor is conceptual clarity. How do we choose the right invariances and the right structures to test in order to advance understanding? \n\nPatricia A. Reuter-Lorenz\nMichael I. Posner Collegiate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience \n\nLecture Title: Aging as a Life’s Work: Resilience and Compensation to Counter Cognitive Decline\n\nAbstract: This lecture examines the aging brain's adaptive nature. Moving beyond the view of inevitable decline\, I present neuroimaging evidence for functional reorganization and compensatory scaffolding to sustain cognition in later life.\n\nIf you are unable to join us in person\, please click the link below to join the webinar.\n\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iPad\, or Android:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/91573913010\n\nPhone one-tap:\n+13017158592\,\,91573913010# US (Washington DC)\n+13052241968\,\,91573913010# US\n\nJoin via audio:\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 360 209 5623 US\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 780 666 0144 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\nWebinar ID: 915 7391 3010\nInternational numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/adYaXtGyYh

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Rare Viewing: Mushi no Utaawase Emaki Scroll
DESCRIPTION:Stop by for a special viewing of the original scroll of \"Mushi no Utaawase Emaki\" 虫歌合絵巻. Scrolls like this are typically not exhibited in their entirety to protect their delicate materials\, making this a rare opportunity to experience a treasured gem from the Asia Library’s special collections.\n\n\"Mushi no Utaawase Emaki\" is a 56-foot-long Japanese picture scroll from the Edo period\, in the 1800's\, featuring 15 panels with text and watercolor paintings. It tells the story of a poetry contest in which fifteen pairs of insects compete by composing waka poems\, all judged by a frog. Each section contains two poems by different insects\, followed by the frog’s critique\, and is accompanied by corresponding artwork. The scroll’s exact creator and author are unknown\, though possible candidates include Hosokawa Yūsai or Kinoshita Katsutoshi. Traditionally\, viewers enjoy the scroll one section at a time.\n\nView a moving image of the scroll (https://myumi.ch/e32qQ).\n\nBrowse a collection of images from the scroll (https://myumi.ch/JPJGr).\n\nJoin us (on the 4th floor of Hatcher) for Third Thursdays at the Library\, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections. While you’re here\, pick up a passport and collect a stamp from each of the four Third Thursday Open Houses — Asia Library\, Clark Library\, International Studies\, and Special Collections Research Center — to win a prize!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Annual Werner Grilk Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The celebrated American-German writer and artist\, Nora Krug\, will deliver this year’s Grilk Lecture in German Studies. Krug’s work combines illustration\, text\, photography and archival documents to shed light on such topics as Nazi perpetration\, authoritarianism\, and the war in Ukraine. \n\nNora Krug is an award-winning German-American writer and illustrator and Associate Professor in the Illustration Program at the Parsons School of Design in New York City. In her critically acclaimed graphic memoir \"Belonging: A German Reckons with History and Home\" Krug grapples with questions of guilt and responsibility as she probes her family’s role in World War II and the Holocaust. The book received many literary awards\, including the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize. Krug also adapted Timothy Snyder’s \"On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century\"\, translating urgent historical lessons about democratic fragility into the graphic format. Her recent graphic narrative\, \"Diaries of War: Two Visual Accounts from Ukraine and Russia\,\" centers individual experiences during a war that is still ongoing.
