SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS 2026 Fall Colloquium Series | Chokepoints: Temporalities of Navigation in the Red Sea
DESCRIPTION:The story of shipping and of global trade is often narrated as one of ever-increasing efficiency and speed\, of transitions from sail to steam to cargo and futures of automation—of making straight lines. But\, for as long as there has been trade (and ships) there have been delays and interruptions—rerouters and rerouting. I argue that disruptions and moments when things appear to be stuck or rerouted are neither aberrations nor failures. Rerouting\, far from being an exception\, is both the norm and\, at times\, such as this contemporary moment of wars\, sanctions\, and tariffs\, is a condition desired by many as a mode of profit and possibility.\n\nTo showcase the productive possibilities of rerouting\, I focus on one sea route—the Bab-el-Mandeb\, a key chokepoint for global trade connecting Europe to Asia and the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean. In 2023\, in response to Houthi attacks on merchant ships\, this shipping route briefly disappeared\, as cargo ships were rerouted through the Cape of Good Hope. I tell this story of this rerouting and its consequences both ephemeral and long-lasting from the perspective of a mobile set of actors in the Red Sea. Locating them within longer histories and wider geographies\, I argue for the centrality of interruptions within our understandings of circulation and crossings in the Indian Ocean and beyond.\n\nJatin Dua is an associate professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan (U-M). He also directs the Oceans Lab at U-M\, dedicated to collaborative and multimodal ways of engaging oceans as anthropological interlocutors. His research explores maritime mobility\, and its perils and possibilities\, in the Indian Ocean\, focusing on processes and projects of governance\, law\, and economy. His book\, *Captured at Sea: Piracy and Protection in the Indian Ocean\, published with the University of California Press* (December 2019) [winner of the 2020 Elliot P. Skinner Book Award\; shortlisted for the 2024 Monsoon Book Prize and translated into Italian and Greek] is a multi-sited ethnographic and archival engagement with Somali piracy and contestations over legitimate and illegitimate commerce in the Western Indian Ocean. In addition\, he has published several articles on maritime anthropology\, captivity\, political economy\, and sovereignty in *Public Culture*\, *American Ethnologist*\, *Cultural Anthropology\,* *Ethnos*\, *Annual Review of Anthropology*\, *History and Anthropology* and *Comparative Studies in Society and History*. He is currently the editor-in-chief of *Comparative Studies in Society and History*.\n\nRSVP: https://myumi.ch/PbbAb\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Multiscale Analysis of the Energetics of a Sonoluminescing Plasma Blackbody: What Are the Limits of Energy Density Concentration that Can Be Achieved with Collapsing Bubbles?
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nA gas bubble in a fluid can concentrate the energy density of a sound wave by 12 orders of magnitude to create picosecond flashes of light that originate in a dense strongly coupled plasma. An abiding question is: what are the limits of energy focusing that can be realized with sonoluminescence? Our attempt at an answer involves a multiscale simulation of an imploding bubble. The fluid must be described by compressible fluid mechanics as the velocity of implosion exceeds Mach 1. The gas containing fluid cavity is described by molecular dynamics as the gradients of temperature and velocity can be very steep. The available energy per atom matches the measured emissivity and temperature\, provided the ionization energy is much lower than current theories. Application of compressed ultrafast photography to laser breakdown of dense gases reveals a consistent requirement on the large reduction of the ionization potential in these plasmas. Our multiscale analysis allows predictions for regions of parameter space where energy density concentration is substantially larger.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nSeth Putterman is a Professor of Physics at UCLA\, and President of the Julian Schwinger Foundation for Physics Research. He received a BS from Caltech and a PhD from Rockefeller University with George E. Uhlenbeck. Putterman’s thesis on the macroscopic theory of superfluids was expanded into a monograph. His theoretical research in nonlinear fluid mechanics and acoustics motivated him to set up an experimental lab which probed energy-focusing phenomena such as sonoluminescence\, X-ray emission from triboelectrification\, and crystal-generated nuclear fusion. Putterman [with Porrati] developed the foundational theory of sequential quantum jumps in a driven system such as intermittency in the fluorescence of a single trapped ion.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Policy Gradient Flow for Stochastic Control
DESCRIPTION:Reinforcement learning has achieved remarkable success in landmark applications such as AlphaGo and AlphaFold\, and is increasingly expected to play a central role in emerging domains such as autonomous driving. A substantial body of work has established theoretical foundations for classical reinforcement learning algorithms\, including temporal-difference learning\, policy iteration\, and Q-learning. By contrast\, policy gradient descent\, despite its widespread use\, remains less well understood from a theoretical perspective\, largely because of its non-convex structure and the complexity of the underlying functional space. Existing convergence analyses typically require uniform regularity assumptions on the policy\, viewed as a feedback control function\, along the gradient flow\; moreover\, the resulting convergence rates depend on these regularity bounds. In this work\, we significantly strengthen the existing convergence theory. Our key insight is to relate policy gradient descent to a mirror flow on the space of probability measures over controlled trajectories\, where the Bregman divergence is induced by the convex control cost. We rigorously prove a JKO-type convergence result showing that the discrete-time mirror flow converges to its continuous-time counterpart\, and we identify the limiting dynamics as a preconditioned policy gradient descent flow on the space of control processes. Leveraging this mirror-flow perspective\, we establish an exponential convergence rate that is independent of policy regularity. The convergence holds both in Bregman divergence and in the value of the associated control problem.

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.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Overview:\nJoin us for a kickoff of the Parental Advisory Toolkit and our live stage performance: Road Trip!\nWe are proud to launch Parental Advisory: A toolkit for modern families to support youth substance use prevention\, from your friends at OPEN and HBOM.\n\nAbout Road Trip:\nCar rides and couch time can be great opportunities for conversation. A Michigan family is driving Up North and you are in the backseat in our production of Road Trip: A Parental Advisory Initiative.\nRoad Trip is presented in three acts\, with six fantastic professional actors playing the role of parent and youth.\n\nThroughout the show\, a track list of popular songs and shows will be played\, and the cast will press pause to discuss the song or show's portrayal of drugs and alcohol. Our goal is for you to feel like you could see yourself starting similar conversations with your children. Even if they don’t engage right away\, it doesn’t mean they didn’t hear you. You are planting important seeds that can really make a difference.\n\nAfter the performance\, we will have an open discussion and Q&A with three expert panelists and the Parental Advisory/HBOM/OPEN team. Panelists include:\nCharles Graham\, PhD\, LCSW\, University of Michigan\, Adolescent Addiction Disorder Expert\nJohn Steffenson\, C. S. Mott Children's Hospital\, Michigan Medicine\, Music and Occupational Therapist\nVicki Kavanaugh\, CPS\, Arbor Circle\, Prevention Manager\, Prevention and Advocacy Division\n\nAbout Parental Advisory:\nToday’s caregivers are raising young people in a world with social media\, high-potency legal cannabis\, vaping devices\, counterfeit or poisoned pills and increasing concerns about youth mental health. Many parents grew up in simpler times\, when warnings and campaigns focused on fears rather than honest conversation.\n\nThe world has changed\, but one thing has not: Young people need trusted adults who listen\, stay informed\, set clear boundaries\, and stand beside them when things get hard.\nParental Advisory is here to help you and your family navigate the modern world of substance use prevention. Visit www.miparentaladvisory.org to find the complete toolkit.

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.

It is powerful\, polished\, and emanates from a disciplined mind.” (The Telegram)\n\nNot yet 30\, Bruce Liu\, the First Prize winner of the 2021 International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw\, has become a worldwide sensation and one of the most compelling pianists of his generation. A musician praised for his dazzling technique\, his curiosity\, and artistry that combines “nimble versatility” (The New York Times) and “playing of breathtaking beauty” (BBC Music Magazine)\, the Paris-born\, Montreal-raised Liu makes his UMS debut with a wide-ranging program that draws from his new album Lunaris. This evocative journey through night\, imagination\, and transcendence is built around some of the most iconic piano repertoire every written. “You don’t always know where Bruce Liu is taking you\,” says ResMusica\, a French classical music and dance publication\, “but you feel compelled to follow him.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Haggis X-1
DESCRIPTION:A mix of Enter the Haggis favorites and fresh material\, all served with their signature Celtic fire\n\nHaggis X-1 is a high-energy Celtic rock band built around veteran members of Enter the Haggis. Over a 30-year career\, Enter the Haggis toured extensively across North America\, performing on national television programs including Regis and Kelly\, A&E\, PBS\, and at prestigious stages such as the Kennedy Center for the Arts. Their songs “One Last Drink” and “Down With The Ship” have become modern Celtic pub anthems\, keeping audiences raising a pint and singing along wherever they’re played.\n\nCarrying that legacy forward\, Haggis X-1 blends driving rhythms\, pipes\, fiddle\, and memorable songs into a powerful live show that connects equally with longtime Celtic music fans and brand-new listeners. The band delivers a mix of beloved Enter the Haggis favorites and fresh material\, all rooted in strong melodies\, big choruses\, and a sense of celebration.\n\nIn addition to Craig Downie\, Trevor Lewington and Tom Barraco of Enter the Haggis\, Haggis X-1’s lineup features virtuoso fiddler and multi-instrumentalist Jesse Grandmont on fiddle and mandolin (known for appearances on America’s Got Talent and performances with Barrage and Ben Harper)\, guitarist Will Earley adding rhythmic punch and melodic flair\, vocalist/keyboardist Charlotte Roth bringing dynamic lead vocals and rich textures to the band’s sound\, and Anthony Candullo on bass. Together\, they create an engaging\, contemporary take on Celtic rock that’s equally at home in listening rooms\, theatres\, clubs\, and festival stages.\n\nHaggis X-1 is built for live performance: a tight\, seasoned band delivering big hooks\, fiery instrumentals\, and the kind of communal singalongs that turn every night into a celebration.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Make it Accessible: InDesign to PDF Best Practices
DESCRIPTION:Join this workshop to learn how to build accessibility into your Adobe InDesign documents from the start\, shifting from retroactive remediation to a “born accessible” workflow. We’ll briefly discuss key accessibility regulations and what they mean for your documents\, then cover design decisions that make a big impact\, such as color contrast\, font choice\, layout\, and content organization.\n\nThe core of this session will be a guided demonstration of InDesign features that support an accessible output\, including text box threading\, image anchors and alt text\, paragraph styles export options\, and much more. We’ll also show you how to export your content to a tagged PDF and provide resources for doing final checks and clean up in Acrobat.\n\nAs a participant\, you’ll receive access to a sample InDesign file to practice applying accessibility features along with additional resources for continued learning. There will also be time for Q&A. \n\nAmerican Sign Language (ASL) interpreting services and Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) captioning services will be provided.

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:CCPS Photo Exhibition. This is the Place
DESCRIPTION:There are nearly one million refugees currently living in Poland. While the vast majority arrived from Ukraine\, Poland has also welcomed forcibly displaced people from Central Asia\, Latin America\, Africa\, and the Middle East. While refugees may be different\, they all search for a place that reminds them of home.\nIn *This Is The Place*\, a project supported by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)\, Anna Liminowicz asked refugees to show what\, in Poland\, reminds them of their home. These portraits and the personalized confessions her subjects handwrote in their native languages tell poignant stories about safety and hope.\nAnna Liminowicz is an award-winning photographer and reportage journalist based in Warsaw\, Poland. A frequent contributor to the *The New York Times*\, *The Guardian*\, *The Wall Street Journal*\, *The Washington Post*\, *El Pais*\, *Der Spiegel* and UNHCR\, Liminowicz divides her time  between assignments and long-term personal projects\, mainly focusing on social issues like identity and loss\, and what uplifts her subjects. She has covered the war in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees in Poland since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion\, and received the 2022 Grand Press Photo Award for her project “Too Precious to Leave Behind”.\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: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.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Arabic Placement test_October 29\, 2026 (9:30am-12:00pm EST)
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Arabic Placement TestAbout the testThe test takes approximately three hours in length\, and it is composed of three portions:a. The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed online through Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: a. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the LSA Language Requirement.b. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.Where can I view my results?a. Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.b. You will not be notified of your score automatically. c. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * Students who took or are currently enrolled in an Arabic course are not eligible to take the Arabic placement test. They should register for the next course level.* The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.\nUM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan\, Syria\, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of formal Arabic (fuSHa). \nIf you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@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.

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:Reverie: The Student-led Exhibition Committee Fall 2026 Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nA reverie is a state between waking and dreaming\, a moment when the mind drifts beyond the immediate. It is a space where memory\, imagination\, desire\, and reality can overlap\, distort\, and take on new forms. In these moments\, the familiar can become strange\, and the ordinary can become something unexpected.\n\nReverie brings together student works that explore the space between what is known and what is felt. Across painting\, oil pastel\, ceramic\, digital art\, animation\, and mixed media\, the artists move through imagined landscapes\, intimate encounters\, memories\, figures\, and fragments of the everyday. These works blur the boundaries between observation and imagination\, allowing emotion and perception to reshape what we recognize.\n\nRather than depicting dreams literally\, Reverie considers dreaming as a way of seeing. The works reflect moments of escape\, introspection\, fantasy\, and transformation\, where the subconscious can surface and reality becomes open to interpretation. \n\nReverie was conceived and curated by members of the Student-led Exhibition Committee (SEC)\, and features work by eight SEC members at the Stamps School of Art & Design. The exhibition includes ten works across oil on canvas\, oil pastel\, ceramic\, digital art\, digital animation\, and mixed media.

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:Health Insurance\, the Affordable Care Act and Black-White Inequalities in Poverty
DESCRIPTION:CID Speaker Series\n\nJoin the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics as we host David Brady\, professor of public policy and management at the University of Southern California Price School of Public Policy.\n\nAbstract: Black-white inequalities in poverty are large\, persistent\, and consequential. Yet little research on these inequalities incorporates health insurance into poverty measurement. Building on advances in incorporating health insurance into income\, this study tests whether valuing health insurance and Medicaid expansions through the Affordable Care Act reduced Black-white inequalities in poverty. It analyzes within-person\, within-state\, within-year variation among Black and white individuals under age 65 from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. The findings show that augmented poverty measures produce a smaller Black-white poverty gap and that state-level Medicaid expansions significantly reduced Black poverty without affecting white poverty.\n\nDavid Brady is Professor of Public Policy & Management at the USC Price School of Public Policy. He studies poverty\, social policy\, racial inequality\, immigration\, and policymaking.\n\nPlease RSVP via the event page to save your seat.

SUMMARY:Rally / Mass Meeting:Political Speech and the Public Square
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan is an institution with diverse communities\, interests and opinions. In Fall 2024\, the Faculty Senate Office launched this series – Political Speech and the Public Square – to provide a forum for members of the U-M community to present informed\, fact-based perspectives\, and to listen to and learn from each other. In his essay\, “Education as a Space to Change Your Mind\,” philosopher Troy Jollimore reminds us of Socrates’ commitment to open-mindedness: “It requires that we work toward developing a sense of the world as a vast and complex place that we can\, and ought to\, continue to learn about for the rest of our lives.”\n\nOffered in this spirit of intellectual humility\, to support the principles of academic freedom\, and to develop a campus climate comfortable with hearing different well-informed points of view\, even those counter to one’s own views\, the lunchtime series will take place on the Diag throughout the Fall. U-M Students\, staff\, and faculty can sign up in advance to request an opportunity to speak on select topics for 3-5 minutes. Or they can simply come to listen and learn. These events are co-sponsored by the Faculty Senate Office\, the Center for Democracy & Civic Empowerment\, Open Inquiry: Talking Maize & Blue\, and Central Student Government.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Umit Ozkan\, *Ohio State University*
DESCRIPTION:A reception with light refreshments will be held in the B10 lobby before each seminar from 1-1:30 p.m.\n\n*Abstract:*\nBridged polysilsesquioxane (BPS) is a hybrid organosilica material combining the mechanical strength of inorganic silica with the tunable chemical and structural properties of organic bridging groups. While BPS materials are widely explored as adsorbents\, their application in catalysis remains limited. Here\, we investigate BPS as a palladium (Pd) catalyst support for the aqueous-phase hydrogenation of lignocellulosic bio-oil aromatic model compounds and the hydrogenolysis of trichloroethylene (TCE)\, a toxic groundwater pollutant. Leveraging BPS tunability\, we synthesized hydrophobic Pd supports: aryl-bridged polysilsesquioxane (ABPS) and its swellable counterpart\, S-ABPS (also referred as swellable organically modified silica (SOMS)). ABPS-supported Pd catalysts exhibited remarkable activity for phenol hydrogenation and TCE hydrodechlorination\, significantly outperforming commercial Pd catalysts. Furthermore\, while state-of-the-art Pd catalysts suffer from slow kinetics at low temperatures/concentrations and poisoning by sulfur and chlorine species (SO42-\, HS-\, Cl-)\, the S-ABPS catalyst demonstrated exceptional deactivation resistance. We also investigated the effect of support’s organic content\, aromaticity\, and basicity on catalyst properties\, activity\, and selectivity. Using in situ and ex situ spectroscopy\, X-ray absorption\, and thermogravimetric analysis\, we have established structure-property-activity relationships. Ultimately\, this work demonstrates that ABPS is a highly promising support for noble metal catalysts\, offering superior metal dispersion\, poisoning resistance\, and tunable aqueous-phase activity and selectivity.\n\n*Bio:*\nUmit S. Ozkan is a Distinguished University Professor and Chair of the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department at The Ohio State University\, where she has served since 1985. A renowned expert in thermal and electro-catalysis\, she has authored over 300 publications\, holds eight patents\, and has delivered hundreds of invited lectures worldwide. She is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a fellow of AAAS\, AIChE\, and ACS. Her leadership spans numerous professional organizations including AICHE\, ACS and North American Catalysis Society.  She served or continues to serve on the Editorial Boards of Catalysis Today\, Journal of Molecular Catalysis\, Catalysis Letters\, Topics in Catalysis\, The Royal Society of Chemistry Catalysis Book Series\, Applied Catalysis B\, ACS Applied Energy Materials\, Catalysis Reviews in Science and Engineering\, ACS Catalysis\, Journal of Catalysis\, and Nature Sustainability.   \n\nProfessor Ozkan is the recipient of many honors and awards among which are North American Catalysis Society Distinguished Service in the Advancement of Catalysis Award (2027)\, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers Margaret Rousseau Pioneer Life Time Achievement Award (2024)\, American Chemical Society George Olah Award (2024)\, North American Catalysis Society Burwell Lectureship Award (2023)\, ACS Henry H. Storch Award (2017)\, ACS Energy and Fuels Distinguished Researcher Award (2012)\, John van Geuns Lectureship Award at the Van't Hoff Institute at the University of Amsterdam (2010)\, Iowa State University\, Professional Achievement Citation in Engineering (2010)\, AIChE Mentorship Excellence Award (2009)\, Fulbright Senior Scholar Award (2007)\, the Society of Women Engineers Achievement Award (2002). In 2013\, she was honored by a special volume of Topics in Catalysis. The volume included contributions from 35 different research groups from 12 different countries.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Planning optimization approaches for power systems under wildfire-related decision-dependent uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe interaction between power systems and wildfires can be dangerous and costly. Distribution grids can be liable for the outbreak of wildfires during extreme weather. In wildfire-prone areas\, investment planning should consider the impact of operational actions on wildfire-related uncertainties affecting line failure likelihood. To address this planning exercise\, we propose two decision-dependent uncertainty (DDU) aware  frameworks  to optimize the combination of upgrades to improve the system’s ability to deal with wildfires. The first one is two-stage distributionally robust planning optimization problem with DDU\, where the first stage determines optimal switching actions and line investments\, and the second stage evaluates the worst-case expected operational cost under a DDU framework designed to account for the endogenous impact of power-flow levels and hardening investment decisions in the line failure probabilities. The second one is a multi-horizon planning framework that integrates these timescales within a single distributionally robust stochastic optimization model to capture both long-term and short-term uncertainties. We develop an exact decomposition algorithm that produces coordinated investment and operational policies across both horizons.\n\nBiography:\nAlexandre Moreira is a research scientist in the Energy Technologies Area at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His research applies mathematical programming techniques to critical questions in power systems planning\, operations\, and economics\, with a particular focus on novel methodologies for transmission expansion planning that account for reliability and resilience. At Berkeley Lab\, he leads and collaborates on projects that develop foundational modeling frameworks and tools to (i) formulate risk-based optimization and decision-making models to propose transparent\, well-informed \"cost vs. risk\" tradeoffs for infrastructure planning\, and (ii) support the valuation of emerging technologies. He holds BSc and MSc degrees from PUC-Rio\, Brazil\, and a PhD from Imperial College London.\n\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 - Variation in life history strategies shapes evolution across the tree of fishes
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - My research explores how ecology and life history strategies drive evolutionary processes and patterns in fishes. Life history strategies have direct links to fitness and vary dramatically among lineages\, and this variation can drive rates and patterns of trait evolution. In this talk I will highlight recent work demonstrating how a migratory life history strategy can influence trait evolution among populations and across clades spanning the fish tree of life. I will also present new research on macroevolution and diversification of lampreys\, an ancient lineage of jawless fishes with remarkably different life history strategies long thought to be linked to a novel speciation process.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Ottoman Roots
DESCRIPTION:Fruit trees planted in the late Ottoman Empire may have lived for over a century after the polity they grew up in disappeared from maps. Starting from these trees and their relationship to time\, this presentation elucidates the relationship between fruit production and violence at the end of empire. Many who planted the trees left—or were forced to leave—and newly settled people—many of them refugees themselves—came to care for these living relics of past social worlds. Through apricots\, figs\, grapes\, hazelnuts\, olives\, and pistachios\, the project places displaced people and their rootedness in the face of uprooting at the center\, and suggests their role in Turkey’s world-leading production of these commodities today. \n\nSamuel Dolbee is an environmental historian of the modern Middle East\, and an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University. His first book Locusts of Power was the co-winner of the 2024 Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association Book Prize. His work has appeared in American Historical Review\, Comparative Studies of Society and History\, Environmental History\, Journal of Global History\, and Past & Present among other places. He was formerly editor-in-chief of and is currently a contributor to Ottoman History Podcast. \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:Gomberg's Earlier Instances of Trivalent Carbon
DESCRIPTION:University of Michigan chemistry professor Moses Gomberg’s 1900 revelation\, “An Instance of Trivalent Carbon: Triphenylmethyl\"\, lauded on a centennial National Historic Chemical Landmark for challenging the “prevailing belief that carbon can only have four bonds”\, shifts its' place in our imaginations as the facts given here are accommodated. In 1898 Gomberg presumed that he had made a molecular complex of bromotriphenylmethane and two neutral iodine molecules. But he was mistaken. Instead\, Gomberg produced a mixture ofthree persistent single crystals of the triphenylmethyl cation before he published his aforementioned\, controversial paper. Trigonal carbon coordination was the crack in the valency rules that had organized chemistry prior to the invention of quantum mechanics. Gomberg did not recognize the wealth of trivalent carbon compounds he had in hand before the proposition of the radical and corresponding cation thereafter. This presentation gives a counterfactual history.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reimagining Work as a Product Designed for Workers
DESCRIPTION:University of Michigan’s Philosophy\, Politics\, and Economics speaker for Fall 2026 is Dart Lindsley\, CEO of the work design company 11fold and host of Work for Humans. \n\nOctober 29\, 2026 | 4-6 p.m.\nFREE\, but registration is required.\nRackham Assembly Hall\n\nAbout Dart\nDart spent 25 years in transformation roles at Fortune 100 high-tech companies\, serving as a Strategic Advisor and Head of Global Process Excellence for People Operations at Google\, and previously as a Head of Business Architecture at Cisco Systems. He speaks on why we need to radically transform where we position employees in our business models — from inputs to customers. His 2024 HBR article \"Reimagining Work as a Product\" was nominated as best-of-issue and has gone on to multiple reprints.  Work for Humans has 200 episodes on which Dart speaks with diverse thinkers about how we might design better work. The show ranks in the top 3% among all podcasts and routinely peaks in the top 50 in the management category. Dart earned a 2024 Mira Fellowship for thinkers with radical reframes that can improve the world.  \n\nAbout the Talk\n\nEarly management theorists committed a category error when they classified employees as inputs to production: assets\, resources\, human capital. Dart argues that error haunts work today and offers a reframe. Employees are customers. Work is a product they choose to buy with their labor. Like any subscription product\, it has to be designed well enough that working customers choose to buy it each day. Building on his HBR article \"Reimagining Work as a Product\" (with co-author Eric Anicich)\, Dart shows how this reframe overturns norms\, power structures\, and how resources are allocated. For researchers it changes the questions\, the units of analysis\, the standards of evidence. He shares examples from organizations already living in the new world. He'll then use the reframe as a case study in something larger: what it takes to lead a paradigm shift\, and the tools that serve anyone striving to redesign institutions to solve the problems of living and working together.\n\nRegistration required.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Early Novel in French: Poetics of a Genre in the Making.
DESCRIPTION:In her upcoming talk\, Virginia Krause proposes to fill in a missing chapter in our History of the Novel\, which has long overlooked sixteenth-century France in its rush to identify the birth of the modern novel (for modernists) or the demise of medieval romance (for medievalists).  In the experimental fictions of mid-sixteenth-century France\, ancient rhetorical culture and new print technologies converged\, Krause argues\, shedding new light on a rapidly evolving genre—its lifelike personas or “person-fictions”\; its immersive powers over readers\; and\, amidst all its experimental properties and “new” technologies\, the enduring place occupied by ancient rhetorical culture and medieval adventure\, core principles for this genre-in-the-making.\n\n*Biography:*\n\nProfessor of French and Francophone Studies at Brown University\, Virginia Krause is the author of Witchcraft\, Demonology\, and Confession in Early Modern France (Cambridge\, 2015) and Idle Pursuits (Delaware\, 2003).  Her talk will be drawn from her new book\, The Early Novel in French: Poetics of a Genre in the Making (Northwestern\, forthcoming).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:What’s Our Impact?: Understanding how the Arts & Humanities Matter
DESCRIPTION:As people working in the humanities and the arts\, we know our work matters–to our fields\, to our disciplines\, and to society. We have seen how the arts and humanities transform perception\, provide expertise\, and help people grapple with the biggest questions about what it means to be human and to live in an increasingly interconnected\, yet often divided world. And\, in both the arts and humanities\, we know UM faculty are contributing to their disciplines in deeply meaningful ways. \n\nYet\, for all we know about these positive effects\, arts and humanities research is often imagined to be at odds with the metric-driven language of “impact”--a term often seen as imposed from fields outside the arts and humanities. At the same time\, “impact” has become the dominant framework for measuring the value of academic research. As a result\, arts and humanities faculty are often called upon to describe our “impact” in ways that are legible to University leadership and funding imperatives\, even as we feel uneasy about how to answer such calls in ways that are authentic to our work. How do we avoid finding ourselves outside terms that are increasingly important in the fight for the continued growth and resilience of higher education in the U.S?\n\n“What’s Our Impact?: Understanding how the Arts & Humanities Matter” is a series of events slated for October 29 & 30 on UM’s Ann Arbor campus. A joint initiative of the UM Arts Initiative\, Office of Vice President of Research (OVPR)\, and the Institute for Humanities\, the gathering will serve arts and humanities faculty seeking more ways to discuss their work in terms that are legible within the ascendant impact paradigm\, while also ensuring that those terms are authentic to our disciplines\, methods\, and creative practice. Through a public conversation\, facilitated workshop\, keynote from UM leadership\, and a panel with funders\, the 1.5 day long event will bring together experts–those engaging “impact” in their research\, those in leadership\, and those community partners with whom we work–and put them in conversation with arts and humanities leadership and researchers at the University of Michigan. In addition to allowing our communities to come together to elaborate what “impact” means on our terms\, this event is also designed to help humanities and arts faculty recognize how they could become more competitive in University grant opportunities\, including the Strategic Initiative Fund\, the Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration (ARIA) program\, Humanities Institute Fellowship\, and a range of other internal and external funding initiatives.\n\nThursday\, October 29\, 4:30-6:30\nWhat Works Now: arts and humanities advocacy in the impact paradigm \nPendleton Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor) \na public discussion about making the best case for the arts and humanities with leading voices\, including \nProfessor Jill Dolan\, Annan Professor Emeritus of English\, Princeton University\nArtist\, Curator\, and Organizer Ryan Myers-Johnson\, Executive Director and Founder of Sidewalk Detroit\nProfessor Shelome Gooden\, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Research in the Humanities\, Arts\, Social Sciences and Related Fields\, University of Pittsburgh\nJennifer Rupp\, President & CEO\, Michigan Humanities\n\nFriday\, October 30\nMichigan Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor)\n\n9-11:30\n“Impact” in Our Own Words: a workshop for arts and humanities faculty\nArts and humanities faculty bring current project ideas and experiment with ways of discussing “impact” \n\n11:30: Lunch served\n\n12-12:45: Keynote lunch talk with Vice Provost for Arts & Humanities Sara Blair\nMichigan Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor)\n\n1-2:30\nMaking the Case: Funders on Arts and Humanities Impact\nMichigan Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor)\nHear from internal and external funders on how “impact” plays a role in their granting process

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:Film Screening:\"From Hilde\, with Love\"
DESCRIPTION:This screening is part of Michigan's Theater Anti-Fascist Film Series. \n\nSpanning 1939 to today\, the Anti-Fascist Film Series explores how filmmakers have confronted fascism\, authoritarianism\, and oppression. Through stories of resistance\, rebellion\, and individual courage\, these films examine what it means to stand against forces that threaten freedom.\nFull Schedule: \n\nCONFESSIONS OF A NAZI SPY (1939) – Thursday\, September 10th  \n      FBI agent Ed Renard (Edward G. Robinson) goes on the hunt for a Nazi spy ring bent on subverting the citizenry of America. Beginning with Nazi rabble-rouser Kurt Schneider (Francis Lederer)\, Renard uses his well-honed instincts to find his way to the ring leader of the espionage campaign\, Dr. Karl Kassell (Paul Lukas). With the Nazi secret police rounding up any security leaks and passing them back to Germany\, Renard races to extract the information that will bring down the conspiracy.\n\n    THE GREAT DICTATOR (1940) – Thursday\, September 17th  \n      After dedicated service in the Great War\, a Jewish barber (Charles Chaplin) spends years in an army hospital recovering from his wounds\, unaware of the simultaneous rise of fascist dictator Adenoid Hynkel (also Chaplin) and his anti-Semitic policies. When the barber\, who bears a remarkable resemblance to Hynkel\, returns to his quiet neighborhood\, he is stunned by the brutal changes and recklessly joins a beautiful girl (Paulette Goddard) and her neighbors in rebelling.\n\n    THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS (1966) – Thursday\, October 8th  \n      Paratrooper commander Colonel Mathieu (Jean Martin)\, a former French Resistance fighter during World War II\, is sent to 1950s Algeria to reinforce efforts to squelch the uprisings of the Algerian War. There he faces Ali la Pointe (Brahim Haggiag)\, a former petty criminal who\, as the leader of the Algerian Front de Libération Nationale\, directs terror strategies against the colonial French government occupation. As each side resorts to ever-increasing brutality\, no violent act is too unthinkable.\n\n    TRANSIT (2018) – Thursday\, October 15th  \n      In 1942\, Georg attempts to flee France\, after its invasion by the Nazis. He assumes the identity of a dead author\, but soon finds himself stuck in Marseilles\, where he falls in love with Maria\, a young woman searching for her missing husband.\n\n A HIDDEN LIFE (2019) – Thursday\, October 22nd  \n      Austrian farmer Franz Jägerstätter faces the threat of execution for refusing to fight for the Nazis during World War II.\n\n    FROM HILDE\, WITH LOVE (2024) – Thursday\, October 29th  (in partnership with U-M German Dept.)\n      When the shy and pregnant Hilde Coppi is suddenly detained by the Gestapo\, she pleads ignorance to their accusations that she aids her lover\, Hans\, in transcribing coded radio transmissions to and from Moscow.

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: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:CCPS Photo Exhibition. This is the Place
DESCRIPTION:There are nearly one million refugees currently living in Poland. While the vast majority arrived from Ukraine\, Poland has also welcomed forcibly displaced people from Central Asia\, Latin America\, Africa\, and the Middle East. While refugees may be different\, they all search for a place that reminds them of home.\nIn *This Is The Place*\, a project supported by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)\, Anna Liminowicz asked refugees to show what\, in Poland\, reminds them of their home. These portraits and the personalized confessions her subjects handwrote in their native languages tell poignant stories about safety and hope.\nAnna Liminowicz is an award-winning photographer and reportage journalist based in Warsaw\, Poland. A frequent contributor to the *The New York Times*\, *The Guardian*\, *The Wall Street Journal*\, *The Washington Post*\, *El Pais*\, *Der Spiegel* and UNHCR\, Liminowicz divides her time  between assignments and long-term personal projects\, mainly focusing on social issues like identity and loss\, and what uplifts her subjects. She has covered the war in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees in Poland since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion\, and received the 2022 Grand Press Photo Award for her project “Too Precious to Leave Behind”.\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: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: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

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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:What’s Our Impact?: Understanding how the Arts & Humanities Matter
DESCRIPTION:As people working in the humanities and the arts\, we know our work matters–to our fields\, to our disciplines\, and to society. We have seen how the arts and humanities transform perception\, provide expertise\, and help people grapple with the biggest questions about what it means to be human and to live in an increasingly interconnected\, yet often divided world. And\, in both the arts and humanities\, we know UM faculty are contributing to their disciplines in deeply meaningful ways. \n\nYet\, for all we know about these positive effects\, arts and humanities research is often imagined to be at odds with the metric-driven language of “impact”--a term often seen as imposed from fields outside the arts and humanities. At the same time\, “impact” has become the dominant framework for measuring the value of academic research. As a result\, arts and humanities faculty are often called upon to describe our “impact” in ways that are legible to University leadership and funding imperatives\, even as we feel uneasy about how to answer such calls in ways that are authentic to our work. How do we avoid finding ourselves outside terms that are increasingly important in the fight for the continued growth and resilience of higher education in the U.S?\n\n“What’s Our Impact?: Understanding how the Arts & Humanities Matter” is a series of events slated for October 29 & 30 on UM’s Ann Arbor campus. A joint initiative of the UM Arts Initiative\, Office of Vice President of Research (OVPR)\, and the Institute for Humanities\, the gathering will serve arts and humanities faculty seeking more ways to discuss their work in terms that are legible within the ascendant impact paradigm\, while also ensuring that those terms are authentic to our disciplines\, methods\, and creative practice. Through a public conversation\, facilitated workshop\, keynote from UM leadership\, and a panel with funders\, the 1.5 day long event will bring together experts–those engaging “impact” in their research\, those in leadership\, and those community partners with whom we work–and put them in conversation with arts and humanities leadership and researchers at the University of Michigan. In addition to allowing our communities to come together to elaborate what “impact” means on our terms\, this event is also designed to help humanities and arts faculty recognize how they could become more competitive in University grant opportunities\, including the Strategic Initiative Fund\, the Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration (ARIA) program\, Humanities Institute Fellowship\, and a range of other internal and external funding initiatives.\n\nThursday\, October 29\, 4:30-6:30\nWhat Works Now: arts and humanities advocacy in the impact paradigm \nPendleton Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor) \na public discussion about making the best case for the arts and humanities with leading voices\, including \nProfessor Jill Dolan\, Annan Professor Emeritus of English\, Princeton University\nArtist\, Curator\, and Organizer Ryan Myers-Johnson\, Executive Director and Founder of Sidewalk Detroit\nProfessor Shelome Gooden\, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Research in the Humanities\, Arts\, Social Sciences and Related Fields\, University of Pittsburgh\nJennifer Rupp\, President & CEO\, Michigan Humanities\n\nFriday\, October 30\nMichigan Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor)\n\n9-11:30\n“Impact” in Our Own Words: a workshop for arts and humanities faculty\nArts and humanities faculty bring current project ideas and experiment with ways of discussing “impact” \n\n11:30: Lunch served\n\n12-12:45: Keynote lunch talk with Vice Provost for Arts & Humanities Sara Blair\nMichigan Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor)\n\n1-2:30\nMaking the Case: Funders on Arts and Humanities Impact\nMichigan Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor)\nHear from internal and external funders on how “impact” plays a role in their granting process

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:Reverie: The Student-led Exhibition Committee Fall 2026 Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nA reverie is a state between waking and dreaming\, a moment when the mind drifts beyond the immediate. It is a space where memory\, imagination\, desire\, and reality can overlap\, distort\, and take on new forms. In these moments\, the familiar can become strange\, and the ordinary can become something unexpected.\n\nReverie brings together student works that explore the space between what is known and what is felt. Across painting\, oil pastel\, ceramic\, digital art\, animation\, and mixed media\, the artists move through imagined landscapes\, intimate encounters\, memories\, figures\, and fragments of the everyday. These works blur the boundaries between observation and imagination\, allowing emotion and perception to reshape what we recognize.\n\nRather than depicting dreams literally\, Reverie considers dreaming as a way of seeing. The works reflect moments of escape\, introspection\, fantasy\, and transformation\, where the subconscious can surface and reality becomes open to interpretation. \n\nReverie was conceived and curated by members of the Student-led Exhibition Committee (SEC)\, and features work by eight SEC members at the Stamps School of Art & Design. The exhibition includes ten works across oil on canvas\, oil pastel\, ceramic\, digital art\, digital animation\, and mixed media.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Designing for Dignity: Strengthening Food Assistance Amid Policy Threats
DESCRIPTION:Kate Bauer is a professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health and director of the newly established Institute for Food\, Nutrition\, and Health Policy (IFNHP) at U-M. Her research focuses on the social influences on children’s eating\, with particular attention to supporting effective parenting and healthy home food environments. Understanding the causes and consequences of food insecurity has been a consistent thread throughout her work\, given the physical\, mental\, and emotional strain it places on parents and children.\n\nBauer will be in conversation with Taylor Moore\, director of Food Rescue at Goodwill Northern Michigan and a member of the Operating Committee of the Northwest Food Coalition. Moore's work focuses on reducing food waste and advancing equitable food access through community organizing and systems change approaches. Over the past decade\, he and his colleagues have expanded consistent\, year-round fruit and vegetable availability from three Northwest Food Coalition pantries to all 37. Active in food system networks at the regional\, state\, and national levels\, Moore has contributed to research incorporating dignity and democratic decision-making practices in food assistance program design.  \n\nThe Real-World Perspectives on Poverty Solutions speaker series is free and open to the public as well as being a one-credit course for U-M students (SW503). In-person talks include coffee\, cookies\, and the chance to ask the speakers questions\, or you can watch the livestream on YouTube.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by U-M School of Public Health and the Institute for Food\, Nutrition\, and Health Policy.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Environments\, Empire\, and More-than-Human Histories
DESCRIPTION:The “environment” is often treated as the background against which human histories unfold: a passive setting for state formation\, migration\, violence\, and social change. Samuel Dolbee’s work challenges this assumption by asking us to consider how borders\, disease\, landscapes\, and ecological systems actively shape the histories of empire and everyday life. In his work \, Dolbee shows how environmental forces were not merely acted upon by states and empires\, but became entangled in the making of borders\, regimes of control\, and imperial knowledge.\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:Presentation:NERS Colloquium: Arms Control with protons and neutrons: on the ground and in the sky
DESCRIPTION:Areg Danagoulian will explore how nuclear physics can provide new tools for arms control and treaty verification\, from neutron-based techniques for authenticating nuclear warheads to the use of cosmic-ray protons to verify the absence of nuclear weapons in space. His work connects fundamental nuclear physics with practical challenges in international security and nonproliferation.\n\nAreg Danagoulian is an Associate Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT. He did his PhD research in Experimental Nuclear Physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Areg’s PhD thesis focused on experiments that used real Compton scattering on the proton at 2-6 GeV\, allowing to probe the proton's internal structure and understand how it couples to external excitations. After his PhD Areg worked at Los Alamos as a postdoctoral researcher\, and then as a senior scientist at Passport Systems\, Inc. (PSI). At PSI Areg focused on the development of Prompt Neutron from Photofission (PNPF) technique\, which allows to rapidly detect shielded fissionable materials in the commercial cargo traffic. Areg's current research interests focus on nuclear physics applications in nuclear security\, such areas nuclear nonproliferation\, technologies for treaty verification\, nuclear safeguards\, and cargo security.\n\nProf. Danagoulian's research has earned him and his research team a number of important awards\, such as:\n\nFellow of the American Physical Society\, Forum on Physics and Society (2025). Citation: “For seminal technological contributions in the field of arms control and cargo security\, which significantly benefit international security.”\n\nArms Control Association’s Arms Control Person(s) of the Year award\, “For developing an innovative new nuclear disarmament verification process using neutron beams\,” 2020. \n\nAmerican Nuclear Society Radiation Science and Technology Award\, “For technology-critical contributions exploiting nuclear resonance phenomena for warhead verification in nuclear disarmament and nuclear detection techniques in cargo security\,” 2019\n\nThe NERS Colloquia Series invites leading researchers\, industry experts\, and thought leaders from across the nuclear engineering and radiological sciences community to share their insights with students\, faculty\, and guests. Covering a wide range of topics—from cutting-edge research and emerging technologies to policy\, education\, and professional development—the weekly talks offer an opportunity to explore current issues and innovations shaping the future of the field.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Understanding Development and Familial Transmission of Psychopathology: Insights From Genetically and Causally Informative Studies
DESCRIPTION:A complete understanding of how psychopathology develops over time\, is transmitted across generations\, and is influenced by familial and broader social contexts is necessary for developing comprehensive etiological models of psychopathology and related processes\, and identification of causal mechanisms is necessary for developing the most targeted and effective prevention and interventions. Yet\, many of our most fundamental questions about etiological contributors to the development of psychopathology and mechanisms of its familial transmission cannot be definitively answered using usual study designs. Drawing from a developmental psychopathology framework and using complementary\, longitudinal\, genetically informative\, and quasi-experimental study designs in multiple largescale cohorts\, my work aims to address this challenge. In this talk\, I will present a series of studies\, including identifying risk factors for and effects of depression\, differentiating pre-existing liability toward substance use from exposure-related effects on brain\, examining effects of prenatal substance exposure on infant and child development\, distinguishing genetic from environmental mechanisms of the familial transmission of psychopathology\, and considering whether and how cannabis legalization has a causal effect on children\, adolescents\, and families. This work also considers broader contextual factors that may influence exposure to risk and adversity\, as well as access to protective resources. Although no single study or approach is sufficient on its own\, leveraging these multiple genetically and causally informative study designs in a complementary fashion can help us begin to triangulate on etiology and causal mechanisms to better understand the development and familial transmission of psychopathology.\n\n*The talk will be followed by a reception with light refreshments.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Grit and the Grind: Politics\, Legitimacy\, and Educational Change
DESCRIPTION:School reform depends on sustained work to strengthen instruction\, develop professional capacity\, and build organizations that can learn. Yet the political conditions that make this work possible are often unstable. How do reform initiatives establish sufficient legitimacy to support improvement\, and how does the design of reforms strengthen or undermine that legitimacy? Drawing on the primary themes explored in The Grit and the Grind: Building High-Performing Education Systems in an Era of Polarization (University of Chicago Press\, 2026)\, this talk examines the reciprocal relationship between politics\, legitimacy\, and organizational change. The talk explores how the design of educational reforms can earn or erode support among educators and communities\, and the consequences for the sustained work of organizational learning and improvement. The central argument is that while legitimacy helps constitute the conditions under which organizational learning and improvement become possible\, legitimacy\, itself\, is tied to the degree to which reform efforts resonate with local identities and collective memory. The talk uses educational reform to explore the broader question of how politics and organizational learning interact\, and what it takes to sustain the slow\, uncertain work of institutional change.

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.
