SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Sophia Luo (Biostatistics)
DESCRIPTION:Tool Link:  https://github.com/lutiffan/methylModes\n\nAbstract\nMethylModes is an R package and Shiny application to identify multimodal distributions in human DNA methylation at individual CpG sites. Multimodal distributions\, which can be the result of nearby genetic variation\, environmental exposures or assay artifacts\, are susceptible to confounding and important to identify for methylation analysis. We developed MethylModes to robustly identify multimodality in beta value distributions using an intuitive algorithm that avoids stringent modeling assumptions. MethylModes is easily incorporated into existing quality control pipelines of array-based DNA methylation data.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LSI Seminar Series: Twists & turns of our unexpected journey into lipid biology
DESCRIPTION:Over the past three decades\, the Han lab has made a number of changes/additions in research directions\, often into fields that were foreign to them. Thanks to the adventurous tendencies of trainees\, most of the new projects generated breakthrough findings and trained future scientists. Highly interdisciplinary approaches and multiple model organisms have been used in these studies. In this seminar\, Han will recount the initiation and the key moments of the lab's studies in the lipid field\, which exemplify both the fun and aggravation associated with stepping into a new research field.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Strength-focused suicide prevention: Building evidence for innovation in partnership with Indigenous communities
DESCRIPTION:Suicide is an extreme act\, not a mental health disorder\, which disproportionately impacts marginalized groups. In the U.S.\, most prevention focuses mainly on psychological distress\, ignoring the patterns that emerge when considering the larger context of that tragic action. For Alaskan Native (AN) communities\, youth suicide is a striking health inequity that arose within the past century\, as colonization interrupted protective cultural resources and practices that shaped young people’s lives. Informed by decades of work with AN people\, the presentation features studies from the Research to Practice Lab at ISR’s Research Center for Group Dynamics that illustrate a broader scope of suicide prevention interventions. These projects focus on family and community strengths\, build onto local resources\, and share evidence-based research and practices that participants can use on their own terms to reduce suicide risk and promote wellbeing. Highlighting innovation in both focus and outcome measurement\, the interactive talk aims to generate questions\, dialogue and ideas for addressing the complex issue of suicide.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Battery SoX Intelligence: Millivolts Unlocking Gigawatt-hours
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nScaling grid storage with repurposed EV batteries requires precise degradation tracking. For LFP\, a flat open-circuit voltage curve obscures cell aging. This presentation demonstrates how monitoring millivolt-level behaviors extracts gigawatt-hours of latent capacity. By combining physics-informed models with electrochemical state estimation\, we resolve LFP and graphite phase-transitions. Operational data shows how these voltage signatures drive predictive aging forecasts and anomaly detection\, unlocking safe operation beyond industry-standard warranties. \n\nBiography:\nDr. Kandler Smith is Technical Fellow for Energy Storage Modeling at Moment Energy\, a second-use battery energy storage company. He previously worked for 19 years at U.S. DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory as Team Lead for Electrochemical Modeling & Data Sciences\, developing multi-physics models of battery performance\, lifetime\, safety and technoeconomics. He holds a PhD in mechanical engineering from Penn State University (2006) where his research focused on electrochemical modeling\, estimation and control of lithium-ion batteries.\n\nFor the most up to date information on the location\, please check the related link the week of this event

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Microbial responses to global change: from microscopic interactions to global patterns
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - The Evans Lab studies microbial ecology and global change. We ask questions about how microbes respond to stressors like climate change\, particularly drought and floods\, and land use change like agricultural intensification. How microbes respond can affect a myriad of ecosystem services\, including soil fertility and crop growth\, and biogeochemical cycles. In this talk I highlight studies in our lab that span microscopic to global. First\, I'll talk about how (and whether) we can generalize microbial responses to a global change\, like drought. We used a network of rainout shelters to ask whether there were taxonomic or trait-based shifts in microbes under drought\, worldwide. We also extend this work to thinking about how microbes interact with plants to buffer plants under drought. Second\, I'll talk about a project investigating bacteria that fix nitrogen\, and how they interact with both the plant and other organisms in the soil\, like fungi. We hypothesized that bacterial-fungal interactions increased nitrogen fixation\, benefitting the plant\, and potentially reducing reliance on nitrogen fertilizers. I will also talk more generally about how these topics connect to global sustainability\, and relevant research at the Kellogg Biological Station Long Term Ecological Research Site.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: The Tribute: The 1963 March on Washington and the Gendered Politics of Freedom
DESCRIPTION:The 1963 March on Washington has become the standard bearer in American public memory for non-violent\, political demonstration. With Martin Luther King\, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream Speech” as one of the most recognizable moments of the event\, the depth and the nuance of the March on Washington and the movement that shaped has rarely surfaced among and academic and popular discourse. With attention to widening the frame in which to analyze the 1963 March on Washington\, historian Marcia Chatelain offers a new reading of the March from the vantage point of the gender dynamics that undoubtedly shaped it.\n\nMarcia Chatelain is the Penn Presidential Compact Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. A historian of African-American life and culture\, Dr. Chatelain has taught at the University of Oklahoma and Georgetown University. She is the author of three books: South Side Girls: Growing up in the Great Migration\, Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America\, and How Bright the Path Grows: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the March on Washington. Dr. Chatelain has received awards for her writing and teaching\, including the 2021 Pulitzer Prize in History.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Conversation with Alice Miranda Ollstein: Side Effects: How Abortion Bans Impact Everyone’s Health
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Alice Miranda Ollstein\, POLITICO’s senior health care reporter\, about her new book\, Side Effects: How Abortion Bans Impact Everyone’s Health\, a groundbreaking investigation into how the overturning of Roe v. Wade has transformed American health care far beyond reproductive rights. Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting\, Ollstein examines how abortion restrictions have affected patients\, physicians\, and researchers across the country\, creating barriers to medically necessary pregnancy care\, fertility treatments\, contraception\, and other health services. Her reporting also reveals broader consequences for medical research\, hospital staffing\, wait times\, and the treatment of chronic illnesses as health care providers navigate legal uncertainty and the threat of prosecution.\n\nThrough the experiences of patients and medical professionals\, Side Effects reframes abortion bans as a public health crisis with consequences for people of all ages\, genders\, and geographic locations. Ollstein also explores how patients\, physicians\, pharmacists\, and researchers are challenging these restrictions and working to protect access to care. The conversation will examine what these developments reveal about the intersection of health care\, law\, and politics—and what they mean for the future of American medicine.\n\nThe conversation will be moderated by Julie Rovner\, chief Washington correspondent for KFF Health News and host of its What the Health? podcast. An accomplished journalist and author\, Rovner has covered health policy for decades\, reporting previously for National Public Radio\, National Journal\, Congressional Quarterly\, and The Lancet. As Ollstein’s mentor\, Rovner will bring her extensive expertise in health policy and journalism to a discussion of the far-reaching consequences of abortion restrictions and the future of reproductive health care in the United States.\n\nAttendees will also have the opportunity to enter a book giveaway for Side Effects.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:William Caplin: Carrigan Lecture Series in Music Theory
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Music Theory presents a lecture by guest scholar William Caplin\, Distinguished James McGill Professor of Music Theory at McGill University. This event is made possible with support from the Carrigan Lecture Series in Music Theory.\n\nABSTRACT\n\nThis talk examines various classification schemes for music theory and analysis\, especially ones that have played a central role in my own research activities. After a brief consideration of the ubiquity of *binary* oppositions in music-theoretical thought\, along with some limitations of this approach\, the remainder of the talk focuses on classifications consisting of *three* elements\, what I call (after Nattiez) *tripartitions*. I set the stage for my investigations by reviewing the three dialectically grounded tripartitions of *intervals*\, *harmonies*\, and *keys* as proposed by Mortiz Hauptmann in the mid nineteenth century. The heart of my talk then details three tripartitions in the domains of harmony\, form\, and general analytical methodologies. The first tripartition classifies harmonic progressions into three types: *prolongational*\, *sequential*\, and *cadential*. With the second tripartition\, I consider the temporal functions of *beginning*\, *middle*\, and *end*\, and examine how these temporalities are expressed by a variety of formal functions and formal types. The final tripartition\, inspired by some ideas of Leonard B. Meyer\, organizes various modes of music analysis into three general categories: *conformant*\, *statistical*\, and *syntactical*. To conclude\, I return to Hauptmann and consider the extent to which my three tripartitions correlate with his dialectical framework.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER\n\nWILLIAM CAPLIN completed undergraduate studies in music composition (BM\,1971) at the University of Southern California and graduate studies in the history and theory of music (MA\, 1975\; PhD\, 1981) at the University of Chicago. He began his academic career in the Faculty of Music at McGill University in 1978. He was appointed Distinguished James McGill Professor of Music Theory in 2019 following fourteen years as a James McGill Professor.\n\nCaplin specializes in the theories of musical form and musical cadence. His extensive investigations into formal procedures of late-eighteenth-century music culminated in the 1998 book *Classical Form: A Theory of Formal Functions for the Instrumental Music of Haydn\, Mozart\, and Beethoven* (Oxford University Press)\, which won the 1999 Wallace Berry Book Award from the Society for Music Theory. He has refined and extended his theoretical approach in his recent book *Cadence: A Study of Closure in Tonal Music* (OUP\, 2024). Caplin has also undertaken research in the history of music theory. His most notable study in this area\, “Theories of Musical Rhythm in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries\,” appears in *The Cambridge History of Western Music Theory*. His current academic project is a complete harmonic\, cadential and formal analysis of Beethoven’s thirty-two piano sonatas.\n\nCaplin’s research work has been honoured by two Festschrift publications: *Formal Functions in Perspective: Essays on Musical Form from Haydn to Adorno* (Eastman Studies in Music\, 2015)\; and “Contemplating Caplin\,” a Festschrift issue of *Intersections: Canadian Journal of Music* 31/1\, 2010. In 2015\, he was elected a Fellow in the Royal Society of Canada (Academy of Arts and Humanities). Following his retirement in 2022\, he was awarded the 2023 McGill University Medal for Exceptional Academic Achievement. Most recently\, he received the 2025 Pascall Medal from the Society for Music Analysis (UK).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIA Lecture | Ariadne’s Thread: Weaving 200\,000 Years of Naxos’ History
DESCRIPTION:This lecture asks\, (1) what makes us (*Homo sapiens*) special? And (2) why did Theseus and Ariadne go to Naxos? These radically different questions are answered through the archaeology of Stelida\, a site on the northwest coast of Naxos (Cycladic islands\, Greece)\, whose deep-time history takes us from Neanderthal toolmakers\, via Bronze Age worshippers\, to the Canadian/Greek project that has been investigating the site since 2013. From the earliest seafarers of the Northern Hemisphere to Ariadne’s hill\, follow this remarkable thread with the project’s director.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public\, sponsored by the Ann Arbor Society of the Archaeological Institute of America. Please join us in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall to hear from Dr. Tristan Carter\, professor of anthropology at McMaster University and director of the Stelida Naxos Archaeological Project. Light refreshments will be served at 5:30 PM\, followed by the lecture at 6:00 PM.\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Rise and Fall of the NCAA: How We Got Into This Mess
DESCRIPTION:When the topic of revenue sharing with student-athletes came up in 2023\, U-M Coach Jim Harbaugh loudly supported it\, arguing that “The current status quo is unacceptable and won’t survive.” Those words proved prophetic and today the world of college athletics is in rapid flux. Join us to hear from Lecturer Greg Dooley to hear about how similar concerns led to the creation of the National Collegiate Athletic Association in 1906\, how the organization evolved and grew in power\, how that power has collapsed over the last decade\, and what it means for the Wolverines.\n\nGreg Dooley is a devoted Michigan sports fan\, having covered the history and culture of Michigan sports for over twenty years at his website MVictors.com. A full-time lecturer in the Marsal Family School of Education\, he teaches courses on “The History of College Athletics” leadership through coaching\, and on Name\, Image\, and Likeness (NIL) contracts.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Performance:Great Lake Swimmers Caught Light Tour 2026 with special guest Colleen Brown
DESCRIPTION:Artist presale 6/18 10am\nPublic on sale 6/19 10am\n\n“A stunning variety of tones and textures… nothing less than both cerebral and sublime” –American Songwriter \n\nFeaturing a blend of acoustic instruments\, rural soundscapes\, and wistful vocals\, Great Lake Swimmers are a critically acclaimed indie-folk group led by Tony Dekker. Based in Southern Ontario\, the group emerged in the early 2000s with a succession of heavily atmospheric albums recorded in old silos and rural country churches. The music developed in that pastoral warmth\, performed and recorded in acoustically resonant and historical locales with a revolving cast of personnel. They are renowned for homespun folk and lush\, intimate Americana in their live shows. \n\nTheir newest album\, Caught Light\, released in October 2025\, is their most immediate and instinctive album to date. Recorded in just five days in Ontario’s Ganaraska Forest with producer Darcy Yates (Bahamas) and engineer Jimmy Bowskill (Blue Rodeo)\, it draws warmth from early ’70s folk-pop while embracing a new spontaneity and directness in Dekker’s songwriting. \n\nGreat Lake Swimmers have been shortlisted for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize and nominated twice for Canada’s Juno Awards\, with the CBC calling them “a national treasure.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Camille Ann Brewer\, MFA\, MLIS
DESCRIPTION:Camille Ann Brewer lives and works in the City of Detroit\, Michigan.  Through the process of textile construction\, Brewer’s artwork intersects cartographic and photographic images that speak to specific spaces and time. Weaving together of physical place\, memory with time is the core subject of this body of work.  \n\nThe artwork is built with time-period paper maps\, which illustrate spatial geography and political territory\; along with paper-collaged images of people\, places and things\, which tie directly to the history and human relationships in space.  In patterns that support the artwork’s theme\, the two disparate paper elements are then woven together to create a serendipitous making and aesthetic experience.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Comics Beyond Sight
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit covers a variety of creative approaches to comics visual accessibility\, and by extension visual accessibility broadly. Those approaches range from multimedia (audio and textual descriptions) through multidimensional and emerging technologies strategies (3D printing\, haptics\, and screen-based mobile touch interfaces). It demonstrates that comics can be made accessible. Learn about the international efforts of innovators in the realm of comics accessibility for those who are blind or have low vision\, assembled by the Accessible Comics Collective at San Francisco State University (SFSU) with the expertise of blind access professionals. \n\nEmily Beitiks was the accessibility lead for the content creation of the exhibit. She is the co-director for the San Francisco Disability Cultural Center (the first civically funded disability culture center on the planet!)\, and prior to that\, the director of the Longmore Institute on Disability. \n\nNick Sousanis (SFSU)\, the lead creative organizer of the exhibit\, is a Detroit native and was the first person to draw his dissertation in comics format\, subsequently published as the graphic novel Unflattening.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open\, and join us for an opening presentation on Friday\, October 2nd\, 1:00pm - 4:00pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Down in Ann Arbor Town: Pictorial Maps\, Campus Traditions\, and the Women Who Made Them
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the centennial of the iconic 1926 “Down in Ann Arbor Town” map by exploring the colorful history\, campus traditions\, and detailed artistry that made it possible. Created by Jessie Horton Koessler (Class of 1901) to help fund the Michigan League building for women\, this celebrated map provides a fascinating view into 1920s campus life and the women who shaped it. Through three distinct exhibit sections\, journey from the campus history that led to the map’s creation to a broader look at early 20th-century pictorial mapmaking.\n\nWhile enjoying the exhibit\, pick up a scavenger hunt at the Clark Library desk that will inspire you to notice whimsical details in the maps discussed. Return your scavenger hunt at the desk for a small prize\, while supplies last.\n\nJoin the curators — Ava Pustulka (’28) and Anna Rohl\, map curator at Clark Library — for a presentation on September 24 (https://myumi.ch/X8y3r)\, where they will share the research that went into creating the exhibit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lila Kadaj Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lila Kadaj received her MFA from Wayne State University. Her work has been shown at numerous institutions\, including the Detroit Institute of Arts\, the Cranbrook Art Museum\, and the Arab American National Museum.  She spent nearly 27 years teaching art at Detroit Public schools.\n\nArtist statement: “When looking at a beautiful flower.  It’s just itself.  Just there......no .....it does not proclaim its purpose for blooming is to make people happy. It just is. Like standing in front of an easel and painting........just is.......no matter......what proclamations may be concluded to sway the viewer. Same thing goes for fine art.  It’s not about I am a woman....it’s not about I am a first generation Arab American.....it’s not about being a child of trauma....it’s not about a member of my family being gunned down on the street....it’s about being born a painter.....standing in front of my easel and working to create a \"Piece of Fine Art\". Not standing on some soap box and expecting my words to somehow qualify my painting. It’s the painting\, drawing or sculpture that must speak on its own.......on how the artist......via the intellect and muse uses the elements to create something distinct and first rate.   It can be quiet or loud. I see so much very weak work uplifted not for its quality but because it’s in fashion.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. The Art of Memory\, Paintings by Felix Lembersky
DESCRIPTION:Felix Lembersky (1913-1970) was a painter\, theater stage designer\, teacher\, and leader of artistic groups. He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar\, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons\, these paintings\, along with his later nonconformist work\, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars\, the 1917 revolution\, and political terror\, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable\, neglected\, and marginalized people: children\, the elderly\, ethnic minorities\, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances\, Lembersky  portrayed his subjects with empathy\, dignity\, and admiration.  \n\n“For my father\, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom\, individuality\, and personalized creativity\, without which it ceased to be art.”\n— Galina Lembersky\, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky\, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky\, and Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Birth Joy
DESCRIPTION:Black Birth Joy by Tiana Lashae documents birth as a deeply personal story of connection\, courage\, tenderness\, and joy. The photographs and stories in the exhibit challenge mainstream narratives that reduce Black birth to statistics and only amplify Black pregnant women's anxiety and hesitancy about navigating the maternal health care system. Instead\, the exhibit offers evidence of joy\, reminders of possibility\, and a visual legacy for generations to come. \n \nBlack Birth Joy was born from Lashae's belief that more positive birth stories of BIPOC families need to be seen and heard\, and her photographs invite viewers to witness the people behind them: the mothers\, babies\, partners\, families\, and birthworkers. They create space for BIPOC families to see themselves represented with dignity and to witness the full range of birth experiences. Lashae's photographs also create a tangible record that can support conversations around quality of medical care\, respectful treatment\, and patient rights. The exhibit empowers women to prioritize and advocate for their birth experiences while also encouraging perinatal health professionals and birthworkers to center the humanity\, dignity\, and individual experiences of patients and families. \n\nThe exhibit comprises over 30 photographs as well as stories of mothers whose births were documented by Lashae\, a doula and birth/newborn photographer whose work has been published in Everyday Birth Magazine\, an international publication. The physical exhibit is accompanied by a virtual component that encourages audiences to engage with each mother's birth story.\n\nThe Lane Hall Exhibit Space is sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) at the University of Michigan. \n\nBlack Birth Joy\nThursday\, October 1\, 2026 – Friday\, January 15\, 2027\nLane Hall Exhibit Space\, 204 S State St.\, Ann Arbor\, MI\nOpen M–F\, 9AM–5PM

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Faster and More Fun: American Home Cooking in the 1920s
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room to see historical materials that illustrate women’s changing relationship with food\, cooking\, and technology during the heady decade of the 1920s\, sandwiched between WWI and the Great Depression. This exhibit features materials from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive\, as well as select items from the Art\, Architecture\, and Engineering Special Collections and the Transportation History Collection.\n\nAs America rang in a new decade in the 1920s\, cookbook authors and appliance manufacturers stood ready to offer the newly emancipated and forward-thinking American woman a vision for her future\, a vision that would be scientifically  grounded\, speedy enough to make time for leisure as well as housework\, and guaranteed to bring fun to that most humdrum of chores: planning and preparing meals for a family three times a day\, 365 days a year.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Like the Flowing River
DESCRIPTION:Artist Tomoyuki Ueno creates individual works and installations where nature appears to be in an endless conversation with form\, one echoing the other\, a repetition. They are a combination of certainty and ephemerality\, as if hinged between living and loss. The specificity of Ueno’s sculptural works reads like poetry. Ueno’s installation offers visitors time away\, for contemplation\, to draw inward\, to come inside\, to ask the question\, “How are art and the everyday intertwined?” Honoring the Buddhist philosophy of impermanence\, one becomes a continuation of the other. The artist intends the space to offer a restorative and meditative experience.\n\nThis exhibition includes artworks created from natural materials foraged by the artist while in artist residency in Ann Arbor.\n\n*The title refers to the opening line of Hōjōki\, written by 13th-century Japanese Buddhist monk Kamo no Chōmei: \"The flow of the river is ceaseless\, and the water is never the same…\"*

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Small Works: Prints & Book Objects from Detroit\, 2020–2026
DESCRIPTION:Small Works\nPrints & Book Objects from Detroit 2020–2026\n\nOctober 27 - November 19 \nPublic Reception: Friday\, November 13 from 4:30-6pm.\n\nSmall Works was a print shop ran by Li Chen & Gerald Schulze\, in Detroit\, MI\, from 2020–2026. Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant\, and later studio manager\, in 2024. Over those six years\, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year\, open studio for the public\, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026\, they decided to expand community programming\, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works\, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop\, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community\, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works\, by their studiomates Diskette Press\, the publisher Maamoul Press\, and by the community that uses the space.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibition | Ancient Abstractions: Roman Visual Trends Beyond Naturalism
DESCRIPTION:The lifelike naturalistic bodies of Greek and Roman sculpture have been a source of wonder since the Renaissance. Indeed\, the Italian Renaissance artist Vasari identified the ancient world as the time “when sculpture rose to its greatest height.” But close likenesses of the natural world are not the only visual products of the ancient past. This exhibition traces alternative visual trends in the ancient Roman world that today would be considered examples of abstraction. It focuses on monuments and motifs long pushed to the margins of our accounts of ancient art. Oversize arrangements of interlocking shapes pulsate in bold block colors from tombs\, temples\, and homes\; stylized animals flicker into view\, only to collapse once more into bright geometric arrangements\; and artists adopt experimental shorthands for the depiction of space across media. Anticipating recent interests in color and form\, the visual trends of antiquity emerge as far more varied than has long been told.\n\n*Ancient Abstractions is on view from November 5\, 2026\, through February 28\, 2027\, during regular museum hours (Tuesday–Friday\, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM\, and Saturday–Sunday\, 11:00 AM–4:00 PM\; closed Mondays and university holidays.*

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 3): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through December 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Southeast Michigan-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 11 - December 11) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 3 \n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Abhishek Narula (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Nathan Byrne (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nAbhishek Narula\, Compressions \nCompressions is an installation comprised of 416 industrial-grade zip ties\, cinched around the entry pillar of the Stamps Gallery. The pillar measures roughly 110 inches in circumference\, requiring two ties per row to wrap around it\, resulting in 208 rows. The humble zip tie\, typically used to hang and bind other material\, is relegated to its functional properties rendering it unprepossessing and easily dismissed. The zip tie in this installation\, instead serves as an object of aesthetic possibility\, pulling it out of its usual background role to become the work itself. The resulting composition is a proposal to dwell\, to slow down\, and to simply see the pillar.\n\nAbhishek Narula is an artist\, designer\, and educator who works across sculpture\, installation\, sound\, and video. His practice takes the form of interventions\, working with what is already present. He reorients and disrupts objects and sites in order to open up formal possibilities and poetic experiences within the familiar. He is influenced by physical and digital infrastructural systems that sustain modern life and culture. His work treats this ambience itself as raw material for aesthetic inquiry\, exploring themes of labor\, precarity\, temporality and the sublime. Narula earned his MFA in Studio Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and his MS/BS in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His work has been exhibited at national and international venues such as the Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology\, Science Gallery Detroit\, Speculum Artium Media Festival in Slovenia\, New Media Caucus (NMC)\, WaveFarm\, The Boulder Public Library\, The Hyde Park Art Center\, Sector 2337 Art Gallery & Printing Press\, Tangible Embedded Interaction (TEI)\, International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA)\, among others. He is a Robotics Systems Designer and Lecturer in the Robotics Department at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\nNathan Byrne\, Equally To Be Loved\nEqually To Be Loved is an image / object scaled to and installed upon the courtyard pillar of Stamps Gallery. The image is of a spontaneous sculpture made in 2017 during the first day of an artist residency at the Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program. The sculpture was constructed in a storage container studio using 14 discrete objects that were in his studio upon entry. For Byrne\, this work embodies the energy and spirit of a studio at the start of a particularly fecund period of making. This work speaks to the artist’s interest in embodied experience of space\, archival and site responsiveness\, as well as his ongoing engagement with found materials. Byrne considers this project to be a far-flung sequel to his MFA thesis exhibition Equally Empty\, which was shown at Stamps Gallery in 2021. Equally To Be Loved is the second line of the Buddhist mantra from which both titles are derived.\n\nNathan Byrne is an artist / educator / curator currently based in Detroit\, MI. Through spatial and archive responsive projects\, he reimagines\, and explores within frameworks such as language\, the passage of time\, and contemplation. Intrigued by the potential of conveying phenomenal\, transformative\, and emotive states through materiality\, process\, and placement\, he negotiates the pliability of the viewer’s encounters with objects and environments. Byrne holds an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and a BA in Studio Art and Art History from San Francisco State University. He has been a Lecturer at Stamps School of Art & Design since the Fall of 2022. His work is exhibited widely nationally and he is a recipient of the VSC Fellowship at Vermont Studio Center. He has been awarded numerous artist residencies including Anderson Ranch Arts Center\, I-Park\, KHN Center for the Arts\, Prairie Ronde\, Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program\, and Rockland Woods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Who Counts? A History of Voting in America”
DESCRIPTION:Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted\, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth\, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes\, campaign pins and ribbons\, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets\, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit\, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting\, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Childhood\, Gendered Affinities\, and Structures of Power
DESCRIPTION:In the face of global democratic backsliding\, feminist demands have gained renewed visibility even as patriarchal\, racial\, and class-based violence and exclusion have become increasingly normalized across regional\, national\, and local boundaries. In this context\, childhood\, and girlhood in particular\, has emerged as a matter of political\, moral\, and ideological contestation. Situating these contemporary struggles within a broader historical perspective\, however\, reveals that gendered childhood\, as a concept and social project\, has long served as a site onto which collective fears\, social aspirations\, and competing visions of citizenship and belonging are projected. Indeed\, Marcia Chatelain's work has shown that\, during the Great Migration\, Black girlhood in Chicago’s South Side represented a potential path to social mobility\, even as it was undermined by indiscriminate lynchings\, labor demands in an expanding commercial market\, a punitive judicial system\, and sexual victimization. This scholarship raises important historical and methodological questions\, such as: Who is afforded the innocence and vulnerability of childhood? In what ways have race\, gender\, and class together impacted public discourses regarding what it means to be a “good citizen”? How have crises around racialized\, gendered\, and classed identity inspired unexpected historical affinities and collaborations? How might historians navigate (and overcome) gaps and silences in the traditional archive\, which have effectively erased the perspectives of racialized and working-class children?\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Seminar Series> Identification of enhancer regulatory variants that shape root system architecture
DESCRIPTION:Variation in regulatory DNA is thought to be a major factor driving phenotypic variation in wild species as well as domestication of cultivated plants. Enhancers\, a type of regulatory DNA sequence\, regulate target gene expression in a spatiotemporal manner and can be relatively distal to their target genes\, thus making them difficult to characterize. We performed a genome-wide association study and identified genetic variants associated with aspects of root system architecture in a collection of domesticated and wild tomato accessions. Using a massively parallel reporter assay\, we tested and confirmed their relative allelic activity in vivo. A gene\, PERI\, associated with one of these variants is precisely spatiotemporally expressed in lateral root precursor cells. PERI expression varies according to its allele variant in cultivars within the association mapping panel and is required for lateral root development. Collectively\, these data demonstrate the importance of enhancers in shaping root system architecture in tomato and its wild relatives.\n\nBio: Siobhan specializes in the regulation of gene expression in plant roots. Her research integrates\ngenomics\, molecular biology\, and bioinformatics to understand how transcriptional\nnetworks control root development and response to environmental stress. By dissecting\nthese complex regulatory pathways\, she aims to uncover the mechanisms that enable\nplants to adapt to changing conditions\, contributing to advancements in agricultural\nbiotechnology and crop improvement. Her work is pivotal in developing resilient plant\nvarieties for sustainable agriculture.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Who Gets Connected? Network Drivers of Racial Inequality in Tie Formation at Work
DESCRIPTION:Intraorganizational networks are critical for careers\, yet Black employees derive fewer benefits from networks than their White counterparts\, partly because they form fewer cross-race instrumental ties. Extant research has attributed these disparities to interpersonal mechanisms whereby dissimilar individuals are less likely to connect. This paper moves beyond dyadic explanations by theorizing how triadic closure—whereby shared contacts increase the likelihood of tie formation—varies by race. We argue that the presence of shared contacts creates the opportunity structure for racial disparities in ties formed by reducing transparency and diffusing accountability\, particularly when those ties provide access to career-advancing work. Using a longitudinal network dataset combining personnel and staffing records of 2\,481 new hires in a professional services firm\, we estimate the causal effect of having shared contacts on subsequent year-end tie formation. We find that the effect of shared contacts on subsequent tie formation is approximately 94% lower for Black than for White new hires\, although no such gap exists when ties form in the absence of shared contacts. These findings advance our understanding of the network drivers of racial disparities\, demonstrate that triadic closure is socially differentiated\, and show how networks generate unequal access to career-advancing opportunities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar: Geometry for Physics Simulation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Advances in simulation and scientific machine learning have made computation an engine of discovery. For increasingly complex physical systems\, however\, computational scale and model expressiveness alone may not suffice for faithful simulation\, exploration\, and inverse design. General-purpose representations often describe a space much larger than the set of physically admissible states. Computing in this larger space can require substantial effort to ensure that solutions respect the underlying geometry\, topology\, and conservation laws. A complementary path is to make this structure explicit. Through examples ranging from bending rods and slithering snakes to fluid flows and magnetic fields in plasmas\, this talk shows how geometric insight can make difficult problems computationally tractable\, how the resulting structure can be preserved and encoded in algorithms\, and how the exchange among theory\, discretization\, and application yields new mathematics alongside more effective computational tools.\n\n\nContact: Ian Tobasco

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Alan J. Hunt Memorial Lecture-U-M Biomedical Engineering
DESCRIPTION:2026 Alan J. Hunt Memorial Lecture\n\nPhysical principles of cardiac sarcomere organization in health and disease\n\nAbstract:\nThe remarkable capabilities of living tissues reflect the self-assembly of biological macromolecules into structures far larger and more complex than their individual components. The Dunn laboratory seeks to understand the physical principles that allow molecular interactions to produce organized\, functional tissues. In this talk\, I will focus on cardiomyocytes\, whose contractile machinery provides a striking example of biological self-assembly. Using single-molecule force spectroscopy\, we find that α-actinin-2\, a core component of the sarcomeric Z-disc\, binds actin in a strongly force- and direction-dependent manner. This behavior suggests a mechanism by which forces generated during contraction can help organize and stabilize sarcomeric architecture. In parallel\, we are investigating how inherited cardiomyopathy mutations perturb sarcomere mechanics and organization. Genetically encoded force sensors reveal how disease-associated myosin mutations alter force propagation within sarcomeres\, while cryo-electron tomography shows how these mutations disrupt sarcomere order at the molecular scale. These and other data suggest that alterations in sarcomeric organization may be intimately linked to the development of cardiomyopathy. Finally\, I will describe emerging approaches for scaling single-molecule biophysics from measurements of individual interactions to systematic surveys of hundreds of molecular variants. These approaches open the door to studies of mechanobiology at scale and to the design and characterization of new molecular mechanosensors.\n\nBio:\nAlex Dunn is a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University. His research focuses on understanding how living cells sense mechanical stimuli\, with particular interests in stem cell biology and tissue engineering. Dr. Dunn worked as a postdoctoral scholar with James Spudich in the Department of Biochemistry at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He received his Ph.D. at the California Institute of Technology under the direction of Harry Gray\, where his work focused on understanding the catalytic mechanism selective C-H bond oxidation by cytochrome P450 enzymes. His work has been recognized with numerous awards\, including the Hertz Fellowship\, the Burroughs Wellcome Career Award at the Scientific Interface\, the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award\, and the HHMI Faculty Scholar Award.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Indians and Cowboys: Race\, Caste\, and Catholic Missionary Priests from India in Rural America
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. If you would like to attend via Zoom\, registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/Mpp95\n\nOver the past four decades\, the U.S. has become increasingly dependent on international priests to help run Catholic parishes\, schools\, hospitals\, missions\, and more. 90% of dioceses in the U.S. today rely on foreign born priests. Many of these priests are from India and they come on the R-1 temporary religious worker visa - a lesser researched visa category in South Asian diaspora studies that does not require a salary\, only compensation. Thomas' research shows that 64%+ of missionary priests from India come from dominant caste backgrounds.  Based on chapters from my forthcoming book on Indian Catholic priests in Eastern Montana and Western North Dakota\, in this talk I discuss caste\, remittances\, and the intricacies of the R-1 religious worker visa.  \n\nSonja Thomas is a professor of women’s gender and sexuality studies at Colby College.  Her research focuses on gender\, race\, caste\, and Christianity in India and the U.S. She is the author of *Privileged Minorities: Syrian Christianity\, Gender\, and Minority Rights in Postcolonial India*. Her second book\, *Indians and Cowboys\, on Catholic priests from India in rural America*\, is forthcoming from University of Washington Press. She is an associate editor of *South Asia: The Journal of South Asian Studies*\, is a member of Waterville Maine's K-12 Social Justice and Equity group\, and is an appointed commissioner with Maine’s Permanent Commission on Racial\, Indigenous\, and Tribal Populations.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Small Works: Prints & Book Objects from Detroit\, 2020–2026
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition: October 27 - November 19\, 2026\nPublic Reception: Friday\, November 13 from 4:30-6pm \n\nSmall Works was a print shop ran by Li Chen & Gerald Schulze\, in Detroit\, MI\, from 2020–2026. Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant\, and later studio manager\, in 2024. Over those six years\, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year\, open studio for the public\, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026\, they decided to expand community programming\, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works\, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop\, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community\, when they share space and create work together. The work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works\, by their studiomates Diskette Press\, the publisher Maamoul Press\, and by the community that uses the space.\n\nGallery Hours: The RC Art Gallery is open Monday-Friday from 9:00 am - 4:30 pm during the academic year.\n\nVisitor Access: Access the gallery from the door located near the northwest corner of East Quadrangle on East University just across from Weiser Plaza. The door is open to patrons\, students and faculty during the gallery open hours.\n\nContact the Gallery: Email us at rc.artgallery@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SAPAC GROWE: Engendering Respectful Communities Workshops - SY26 - 27
DESCRIPTION:Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces\, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention\, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.

DESCRIPTION:While Mozart is not primarily known for sacred music\, his final composition — the Requiem Mass — stands among his most sublime achievements.\n\nLeft unfinished at his death at age 35 and immortalized in the film Amadeus\, the work was commissioned anonymously by a mysterious benefactor and was ultimately completed by Mozart’s student\, Franz Xaver Süssmayr\, from his sketches. As Mozart’s health declined\, he is said to have believed he was composing the Requiem not for another\, but for himself\, a notion that deepens the work’s haunting resonance. Blending fear and hope with extraordinary emotional depth\, the Requiem has captivated listeners for centuries.\n\nThis performance marks the UMS Choral Union’s first return to the piece in 80 years\, in collaboration with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra and its music director\, Earl Lee. The program opens with Johannes Brahms’s rarely-performed Alto Rhapsody\, a striking work for alto\, male chorus\, and orchestra.\n\nPROGRAM\nJohannes Brahms Alto Rhapsody\, Op. 53\nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart Requiem in d minor\, K. 626\n\nFeaturing:\nAnn Arbor Symphony Orchestra\nUMS Choral Union (\nScott Hanoian\, UMS Choral Union music director)\nEarl Lee\, music director and conductor\nHera Hyesang Park\, soprano\nAvery Amereau\, mezzo-soprano\nNicholas Phan\, tenor\nStephano Park\, bass

SUMMARY:Performance:Riders in the Sky
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning harmonies\, wacky Western wit and high-yodeling adventures\n\n40 years.  It seemed to go by in a blur\, pounding the road\, seeing the world\, raising babies and sending them to college\, mowing lawns\, romances\, marriages\, high school drama\, endless airports\, the nights at the Hollywood Bowl\, the night at the Red Barn in Louisville dodging various barroom projectiles\, frozen diesel lines\, blast furnace desert heat\, hours of practice\, late nights and early mornings\, and lots and lots and lots of laughter.\n \n40 years ago.  No laptops\, no cellular phones\, no Google\, no downloads\, no Skype\, no Tweets\, no Apple\, no Microsoft\, no texting\, no electric cars\, no Uber.  A different world.  But there were three young men with drive and wit who wanted to keep a special music alive.  They believed in preserving the heritage of Western Music and presenting it to a new generation.  They believed in entertaining\, and they did so… entertaining themselves as well as the audience!  And they believed in creating original Western Music to continue the tradition\, not just seal it in amber as a museum piece.  What they did not realize at the time was that they would be doing the same thing 40 years later.\n \n40 years ago\, Ranger Doug\, Too Slim and the late Windy Bill Collins played that first date on the bitter cold evening of November 11th\, 1977 at Herr Harry’s Frank N’ Stein Rathskeller in Nashville\, and small listening room dates followed.  By August of the following year demand was building\, and while Windy Bill left\, Woody Paul joined\, and the true professional beginnings of the band began at the Kentucky State Fair\, where the trio played 10 days for $2500- and bought their own rooms and meals out of that!\n \nA first wave followed\, including appearances on Austin City Limits\; recording contracts with Rounder\, then MCA\, then Columbia\; guest appearances on the Grand Ole Opry leading to membership in 1982\; and a three-year run on The Nashville Network with a TV show called “Tumbleweed Theater\,” which yet in turn led to a seven-year run on public radio with “Riders Radio Theater.  People Magazine\, interested in the Riders phenomenon\, ran a story which happily caught the eye of a Hollywood producer.\n \nAnd so the second wave broke\, sending the boys to Hollywood to star in “Riders In The Sky” on CBS for a year on Saturday mornings\, introducing them to yet another generation.  More recordings\, endless show dates\, and television appearances followed for a decade before the fine folks at Pixar called and asked the quartet – by this time they had been joined by Joey the Cowpolka King – to sing a tune called “Woody’s Roundup” in the movie “Toy Story 2.”  Thus\, the third wave began\, highlighted by a number of projects for Disney\, including two albums\, both of which won GRAMMY Awards!\n \nThe creation of satellite radio has recently given them a new platform\, as they continue to produce episodes of the award winning “Classic Cowboy Corral” on Sirius/XM.\n \nStill more road dates and recordings (several on their own Riders Radio Records label) and other film and television projects have filled the days and weeks and years\, and since the quartet has slowed up very little\, the numbers begin to add up:  an astonishing 7\,200+ appearances\, 35 years on the Grand Ole Opry\, 40 records albums (well\, now CDs\,) and tours of all 50 states and all over the world.  Honors accumulated as well.  In addition to the two Grammy Awards\, Riders received numerous awards from the Western Music Association\, including the highest: membership in the Western Music Hall of Fame\; numerous Wrangler awards from the Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Museum\; awards from the Academy of Western Artists\; enshrinement in the Walkway of Western Stars\, and more.  What began as a celebration of classic Western Music and an evening of hilarity has become a career\, and that career has become a legend\, one which\, 40 years on\, shows no signs of stopping or even slowing down much.\n \nRanger Doug\, Too Slim\, Woody Paul and Joey the Cowpolka King… 40 years on\, “The Cowboy Way.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Comics Beyond Sight
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit covers a variety of creative approaches to comics visual accessibility\, and by extension visual accessibility broadly. Those approaches range from multimedia (audio and textual descriptions) through multidimensional and emerging technologies strategies (3D printing\, haptics\, and screen-based mobile touch interfaces). It demonstrates that comics can be made accessible. Learn about the international efforts of innovators in the realm of comics accessibility for those who are blind or have low vision\, assembled by the Accessible Comics Collective at San Francisco State University (SFSU) with the expertise of blind access professionals. \n\nEmily Beitiks was the accessibility lead for the content creation of the exhibit. She is the co-director for the San Francisco Disability Cultural Center (the first civically funded disability culture center on the planet!)\, and prior to that\, the director of the Longmore Institute on Disability. \n\nNick Sousanis (SFSU)\, the lead creative organizer of the exhibit\, is a Detroit native and was the first person to draw his dissertation in comics format\, subsequently published as the graphic novel Unflattening.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open\, and join us for an opening presentation on Friday\, October 2nd\, 1:00pm - 4:00pm.

DESCRIPTION:Hybrid Lecture: Join us in Weiser Hall in person (Rooms 170 and 182) or stream live:https://myumi.ch/Z87k9\n\nAt the same moment Monet was painting the shimmering atmosphere\, Rayleigh was explaining its physics. Moving from light and color through Helmholtz’s science of perception\, this talk traces the remarkable journey from physical reality to what the eye sees\, what the artist creates\, and what the audience imagines—while discussing the physics principles behind it. It then turns the lens around to ask how beauty\, elegance\, and symmetry guide physicists in their search for the laws of nature.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 3): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through December 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Southeast Michigan-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 11 - December 11) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 3 \n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Abhishek Narula (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Nathan Byrne (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nAbhishek Narula\, Compressions \nCompressions is an installation comprised of 416 industrial-grade zip ties\, cinched around the entry pillar of the Stamps Gallery. The pillar measures roughly 110 inches in circumference\, requiring two ties per row to wrap around it\, resulting in 208 rows. The humble zip tie\, typically used to hang and bind other material\, is relegated to its functional properties rendering it unprepossessing and easily dismissed. The zip tie in this installation\, instead serves as an object of aesthetic possibility\, pulling it out of its usual background role to become the work itself. The resulting composition is a proposal to dwell\, to slow down\, and to simply see the pillar.\n\nAbhishek Narula is an artist\, designer\, and educator who works across sculpture\, installation\, sound\, and video. His practice takes the form of interventions\, working with what is already present. He reorients and disrupts objects and sites in order to open up formal possibilities and poetic experiences within the familiar. He is influenced by physical and digital infrastructural systems that sustain modern life and culture. His work treats this ambience itself as raw material for aesthetic inquiry\, exploring themes of labor\, precarity\, temporality and the sublime. Narula earned his MFA in Studio Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and his MS/BS in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His work has been exhibited at national and international venues such as the Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology\, Science Gallery Detroit\, Speculum Artium Media Festival in Slovenia\, New Media Caucus (NMC)\, WaveFarm\, The Boulder Public Library\, The Hyde Park Art Center\, Sector 2337 Art Gallery & Printing Press\, Tangible Embedded Interaction (TEI)\, International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA)\, among others. He is a Robotics Systems Designer and Lecturer in the Robotics Department at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\nNathan Byrne\, Equally To Be Loved\nEqually To Be Loved is an image / object scaled to and installed upon the courtyard pillar of Stamps Gallery. The image is of a spontaneous sculpture made in 2017 during the first day of an artist residency at the Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program. The sculpture was constructed in a storage container studio using 14 discrete objects that were in his studio upon entry. For Byrne\, this work embodies the energy and spirit of a studio at the start of a particularly fecund period of making. This work speaks to the artist’s interest in embodied experience of space\, archival and site responsiveness\, as well as his ongoing engagement with found materials. Byrne considers this project to be a far-flung sequel to his MFA thesis exhibition Equally Empty\, which was shown at Stamps Gallery in 2021. Equally To Be Loved is the second line of the Buddhist mantra from which both titles are derived.\n\nNathan Byrne is an artist / educator / curator currently based in Detroit\, MI. Through spatial and archive responsive projects\, he reimagines\, and explores within frameworks such as language\, the passage of time\, and contemplation. Intrigued by the potential of conveying phenomenal\, transformative\, and emotive states through materiality\, process\, and placement\, he negotiates the pliability of the viewer’s encounters with objects and environments. Byrne holds an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and a BA in Studio Art and Art History from San Francisco State University. He has been a Lecturer at Stamps School of Art & Design since the Fall of 2022. His work is exhibited widely nationally and he is a recipient of the VSC Fellowship at Vermont Studio Center. He has been awarded numerous artist residencies including Anderson Ranch Arts Center\, I-Park\, KHN Center for the Arts\, Prairie Ronde\, Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program\, and Rockland Woods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibition | Ancient Abstractions: Roman Visual Trends Beyond Naturalism
DESCRIPTION:The lifelike naturalistic bodies of Greek and Roman sculpture have been a source of wonder since the Renaissance. Indeed\, the Italian Renaissance artist Vasari identified the ancient world as the time “when sculpture rose to its greatest height.” But close likenesses of the natural world are not the only visual products of the ancient past. This exhibition traces alternative visual trends in the ancient Roman world that today would be considered examples of abstraction. It focuses on monuments and motifs long pushed to the margins of our accounts of ancient art. Oversize arrangements of interlocking shapes pulsate in bold block colors from tombs\, temples\, and homes\; stylized animals flicker into view\, only to collapse once more into bright geometric arrangements\; and artists adopt experimental shorthands for the depiction of space across media. Anticipating recent interests in color and form\, the visual trends of antiquity emerge as far more varied than has long been told.\n\n*Ancient Abstractions is on view from November 5\, 2026\, through February 28\, 2027\, during regular museum hours (Tuesday–Friday\, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM\, and Saturday–Sunday\, 11:00 AM–4:00 PM\; closed Mondays and university holidays.*

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Who Counts? A History of Voting in America”
DESCRIPTION:Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted\, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth\, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes\, campaign pins and ribbons\, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets\, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit\, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting\, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

SUMMARY:Performance:Philippine Culture Night: Salinlahi
DESCRIPTION:Mabuhay! The Filipino American Student Association (FASA) proudly presents Philippine Culture Night (PCN) 2026: “Salinlahi” on Saturday\, November 14th\, 2026\, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM at the Power Center!\n\nPCN is an event dedicated to showcasing Filipino and Filipino-American culture through music\, dance\, skits\, and so much more. This year’s theme\, “Salinlahi\,” meaning generation\, explores the beauty and power of Filipino storytelling and the many ways it has evolved and been preserved across generations.\n\nTo be Filipino is to be part of an enduring\, living narrative. As Filipinos and Filipino-Americans\, we often explore our cultural identity through the stories passed down to us by family\, community\, and tradition. This year's PCN seeks to honor Filipino storytelling\, from cultural dances to modern films and music. These stories are more than just memories of the past\; they are the means by which generations of Filipinos have preserved culture\, built community\, and shared what it means to be Filipino. Rooted in native traditions and drawing from foreign influences\, Filipino culture tells stories that reflect a history of adaptation and reclamation\, transforming the joys and hardships of the Filipino experience into powerful expressions of Filipino identity and agency. Through the performances in this year's show\, we hope to explore these stories across time\, deepen our understanding of the diverse narratives that make up Filipino culture\, and commemorate the voices that continue to carry them forward. Join us in celebrating these stories and the communities that keep them alive!\n\n“Salinlahi” features six FASA performances: Maglalatik\, Bulaklakan\, Folk Tinikling\, Choir\, Anyo\, and Modern Tinikling. We are also excited to welcome guest performances by Greenwood\, PACE-MI\, MiMSA\, BukoBop\, and KIDLAT!\n\nWe hope to see you there! Maraming salamat!
