SUMMARY:Exhibition:What We Tend: The 2026 MFA Graduate Thesis Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nWhat We Tend: The 2026 MFA Thesis Exhibition is on view at the Stamps Gallery from March 20 — April 11\, 2026. The exhibition presents seven artists whose practices unfold through care—care for land\, for bodies\, for memory\, and for one another. Working across ritual\, non-linear time\, and intersectional inquiries into labor and domestic life\, these artists treat familial\, site-specific\, and sociopolitical histories as living structures rather than sealed archives. What We Tend features the work of MFA students River Forest Berry\, Michelle Cieloszczyk\, Zoë Dong\, Fiona Hoffer\, Michael ​“Modius Modi” King Jr.\, Michaela Nichelle\, and Sujay Saple.\n\nJoin us to celebrate the work of MFA graduate students at the Opening Reception on March 20 from 6 — 8 p.m. Refreshments will be served and artists will be present.\n\nPlease note: \n\nThroughout the exhibition\, visitors are encouraged to bring clean and empty aluminum cans to participate in Michaela Nichelle’s installation. \nThe exhibition will be closed to the public on Friday\, April 10.

SUMMARY:Community Service:World Water Day Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:Microplastics are tiny\, but they normally don't start out that way. Plastic litter in the environment -- bottles\, snack wrappers\, personal care items -- break down into smaller and smaller pieces and make their way to nearby waterways through storm drains. As snow melts\, plastic trash hidden through the winter becomes a concern.\n\nHelp us break the cycle by joining the LSA Sustainability and Planet Blue Ambassador teams for a cleanup focused on storm drains and streets near campus. Waste will be catalogued as part of a larger microplastic tracking initiative\, with some plastics being set aside for a community art piece in the fall of 2026.\n\nPlease RSVP to help us plan. Join for all or part of this time period.\n\nIf you can't make it this day\, consider taking a team or class out on another day this spring\, or volunteer to clear debris from storm drains near your home.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series | Nations\, DissemiNation\, ImagiNation and its people: Internal Exiles in post-coup Burma
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: http://myumi.ch/798dj\n\nWhile the nationalizing of education—in which the very idea of nation is disseminated—makes a certain kind of citizen that the nation requires\, in a double gesture of hope and fear\, it also produces forms of exclusion. The desire to be included in the very thing that excludes creates ‘internal exiles’ with lost identities—individuals who are ‘a stranger to one’s own country\, language\, sex and identity.’ In the case of Burma\, the education system fashions the desired type of citizen\, specifically the Burmese-speaking\, Buddhist Burman. At the same time\, this process establishes the constituted outside as Others (non-Burman or non-Buddhist). However\, in the aftermath of the 2021 coup\, a distinctive educational space arose\, enabling its participants to imagine new forms of social belonging.\n   \n   Drawing from Homi Bhabha’s two distinct forms of nation—the pedagogic and the performative—this presentation explores how the nation’s people are made in a double narration: one as the objects of nationalist pedagogy in the fixed discourse of the nation\, and the other as the. subjects of the processes that erase those discursive fixations.\n   \n   Ei Thin Zar is the 2025–26 Gosling-Lim Postdoctoral Fellow at the Regional Center for Social Science and Sustainable Development\, Chiang Mai University. Ei earned her Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s Department of Curriculum and Instruction. Her dissertation investigates the consequences of exclusionary ethnic nationalism by examining historical and contemporary approaches to language in Burma’s educational practices. Her post-dissertation project examines the formation of collective knowledge and educated subjects\, focusing on the effects of transmissible memories from historical and contemporary social movements as they relate to the education of stateless youth along the Thailand–Burma border. Since the February 1\,2021 military coup in Myanmar\, she has been active in supporting Burmese youth through the creation of People’s Radio Myanmar and Yone-Htwat-Soh-Mon\, two nonprofit organizations.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*
