SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Orren C. Mohler Prize Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Title of Talk: Building ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope – a unique adventure\n\nAbstract: Scientists around the world are pushing for the next generation of optical/infrared ground-based telescopes with primary mirror diameters from 25 to 40 meters. Finding and characterizing exo-Earths orbiting solar type stars\, some of which may host life\, getting close to the physics of black holes\, peering into galaxy formation at early stages and many other scientific goals in our understanding of the Universe require such enterprises. ESO has now completed ¾ of the construction of its Extremely Large Telescope\, the largest of this new generation with a diameter of over 39 meters\, with a first science light planned for the turn of the decade. The challenges brought by this unique adventure range from amazingly demanding technical requirements\, the development of new technologies\, international cooperation in science\, and a huge programmatic effort involving not only ESO’s 63-year old Intergovernmental Organization with hundreds of people working on the project\, but the scientific community\, R&D institutions and many companies pushing their knowhow to the limit. I will address this multi-faceted challenge which addresses the construction of one of the largest Research Infrastructures on Earth.\n\nTalk and Reception at the Rogel Ballroom\, Michigan Union.

SUMMARY:Performance:Eliza McLamb
DESCRIPTION:Good Story Tour\n\nIt appears to be a trophy at first. Look closer\, and you’ll see the cover of Good Story features Eliza McLamb holding a makeshift award\, hot-glued together from scraps she and her mother salvaged. It is\, of course\, silver — a self-deprecating wink introducing the timbre of McLamb’s sophomore album. These last few years\, McLamb’s been parsing her upbringing\, the songs she wrote about it\, and the whole endeavor of the stories we tell about ourselves. “If you get really good at telling the story of who you are\, you become the story you told instead of the ever-dynamic\, ever-changing person you have to be\,” McLamb says. “I did really well telling the story of who I am\, but I began asking: What’s the point of it?” \n\nAt only 23\, McLamb has already lived multiple lives. In her late teens\, McLamb found success via co-hosting the podcast Binchtopia and sharing songs on TikTok. She soon pulled back from the platform\, feeling it didn’t represent her actual ethos as a songwriter. Instead\, she signed to Royal Mountain and released her 2024 debut Going Through It\, a document of a complex\, traumatic childhood that led to searching phases — dropping out of college during the pandemic in favor of working on Midwest farms\, eventually leaving her North Carolina hometown behind for Los Angeles. It all gave her plenty of stories to tell on Going Through It. And now on Good Story\, she wonders how that process affected her. Yet the homemade trophy of Good Story’s cover is far from a jocular consolation prize alone. It’s a symbol of the layered\, accomplished writing McLamb arrived at as she interrogated everything she thought she was about as an artist.

Along with the powerful\, striking\, high drama and theatricality\, there is the long shadow of ancient Gregorian chant and sacred *a cappella* choral music of the Renaissance as well as whispered prayers and heartfelt pleas. This monumental and transformative work – for large orchestra\, chorus\, and four soloists – is one of the most powerful and moving expressions of the human spirit.\n\nThis extraordinary evening will open with the world premiere of *Event Horizon\, a Fanfare for Orchestra* by SMTD alumnus Ozie Cargile\, whose magnum opus\, *Creation of the Universe*\, was recorded by the Detroit Symphony. \n\nUSO Music Director Kenneth Kiesler conducts the University Symphony Orchestra\, University Chamber Choir\, University Choir\, and Orpheus Singers with soloists\, Jiayu Li\, Grace Ryan\, Kenneth Sielhoff\, and Jonathan Lasch.\n\n*Event Horizon* is the 6th annual commission of SMTD’s Michigan Orchestra Repertoire for Equity initiative (MORE).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:Riichi Mahjong Tournament 
DESCRIPTION:This tournament will be split into two phases: Week 1 (Preliminaries/Qualifiers) and Week 2 (Playoff).\n\nEach player will have the opportunity to play in a designated number of east rounds\, and is assigned ranking points based on the final position and points the player obtains in each game. \n\nWhen each player has played the designated number of games\, everybody will be ranked based on the accumulative ranking points earned. Players who end up above the playoff line will advance and be given a seed number based on how they finished relative to the other qualifiers. \n\nThe playoffs will feature a swiss-style format\, where increasingly lower number seeds (better qualifying ranking) will have the benefit of playing increasingly higher ranked seeds. The championship match is guaranteed to be a hanchan.\n\n\nNote: *Players need to have a basic understanding of the rules of the game in order to partake in the tournament \n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Հմայարան / Hmayaran by Levon Kafafian (Detroit-based Artist)
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Opening: March 12\, 2026\nExhibit Dates: March 12-30\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\nSet within Kafafian's speculative future world Azadistan—a place of magic and spirits beyond a digital collapse\, Հմայարան / Hmayaran is an immersive shrine housing a series of soft-sculptural artifacts reimagining objects Armenians have traditionally crafted for spiritual power and protection.\n \n     Kafafian's focus in this exhibition is on the marks Armenians carve into stone\, clay and wood to imbue meaning\, memory and magic into their lived environments\, particularly as part of folk traditions outside of the realms of church and state.\n   \n     Channeled from the collective Armenian diasporic imaginary\, Kafafian's Portal Fire series depicts a narrative story that emerges from the materials as they are brought into relationship through weaving\, dyeing\, embellishment and thread. In this story world hybrid cultural practices and alternative spiritual modes develop from embodied traditions in response to the changing physical and cultural landscape of Southwest Asia in a future where technological catastrophe has severed global communications and erased digital archives. The multi-ethnic society of Azadistan takes shape through installations\, objects\, texts and performances manifesting the multiplicity of Aremenian-ness through the dimensions of a complicated past and its potential for a vibrant\, evolving futurity.\n\nCosponsor: Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Wayward Images
DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flyways
DESCRIPTION:Iranian-American artist Sheida Soleimani explores themes of migration\, political exile\, queerness\, and environmental crisis through the wildly imaginative and intricate scenarios she first stages in her studio. The tableaus—which often include live animals\, props\, even her parents—are then photographed\, documenting the artist’s process. Each photograph becomes a part of Soleimani’s rich visual storytelling.      \n\n*Flyways *presents a series of new photographs that include images evocative of her family’s history and migration story in juxtaposition with images of injured birds that are representative of Soleimani’s work as a wildlife rehabilitator. (In 2018\, Soleimani founded Congress of Birds\, a wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island.) The change in her practice to include bird rescue results in a revolutionary body of work steeped in passion and articulated in a completely original visual language.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Dynamic Local Average Treatment Effects in Time Series
DESCRIPTION:This paper discusses identification\, estimation\, and inference on dynamic local average treatment effects (LATEs) in instrumental variables (IVs) settings. First\, we show that com- pliers—observations whose treatment status is affected by the instrument—can be identified individually in time series data using smoothness assumptions and local comparisons of treat- ment assignments. Second\, we show that this result enables not only better interpretability of IV estimates but also direct testing of the exclusion restriction by comparing outcomes among identified non-compliers across instrument values. Third\, we document pervasive weak identifi- cation in applied work using IVs with time series data by surveying recent publications in leading economics journals. However\, we find that strong identification often holds in large subsamples for which the instrument induces changes in the treatment. Motivated by this\, we introduce a method based on dynamic programming to detect the most strongly-identified subsample and show how to use this subsample to improve estimation and inference. We also develop new identification-robust inference procedures that focus on the most strongly-identified subsample\, offering efficiency gains relative to existing full sample identification-robust inference when iden- tification fails over parts of the sample. Finally\, we apply our results to heteroskedasticity-based identification of monetary policy effects. We find that about 75% of observations are compliers (i.e.\, cases where the variance of the policy shifts up on FOMC announcement days)\, and we fail to reject the exclusion restriction. Estimation using the most strongly-identified subsample helps reconcile conflicting IV and GMM estimates in the literature.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-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 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Research Institute | Have we seen a demonstration of experimental quantum advantage?
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project\, 2301 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109\, USA\, PML2000\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94764879233?jst=2\n\nAbstract: A major goal for the field of quantum computation is “quantum advantage\" -- the first experimental demonstration of a quantum computation that is beyond the capabilities of any classical computer.  While we have now seen many quantum advantage claims made by experimental groups around the world\, many of these claims have been disproven.  \n\nIn this talk\, we'll discuss the status quo regarding the latest experimental quantum advantage claims and the evidence for their classical hardness.  We’ll then discuss the classical verification problem\, and propose a new quantum advantage proposal that uses ideas from quantum error correction to enable a large gap between classical verification and simulation.\n\nBio:\nI am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago.\nPreviously\, I held research positions at the University of California at Berkeley\, advised by Umesh Vazirani\, and in QuICS\, at the University of Maryland/NIST.\nI received my Ph.D. in computer science from the Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences and the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter at Caltech\, co-advised by Alexei Kitaev and Chris Umans.

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

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Building Industry Partnerships Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Federal funding trends\, including from NSF\, DOE and ARPA agencies\, indicate increasing interest in translational research – supporting the pathways for fundamental discoveries to have broader societal\, economic or public impact. New funding programs might require researchers to demonstrate their research impact at the proposal stage through established partnerships with companies that signal market interest or investment\, formal commitments like licensing agreements\, and/or evidence of technology readiness levels. Researchers who build these industry partnerships in advance will have a critical edge in a competitive funding landscape.\n\nThe Office of Research Development will host a webinar series for U-M researchers that explains why and how to build industry partnerships that advance mutual R&D goals. Webinars will take place noon-1:30 pm each day\; calendar invites will be sent upon registration. \n\nFebruary 25: Discovery to Innovation - Gain a practical framework for deciding when to engage industry\, how to demonstrate impact credibly and which funding mechanisms align with research maturing and scholarly goals.\nMarch 26: Industry Engagement for Faculty: From Early Signals to Funded Partnerships - Learn meaningful engagement strategies across the research lifecycle\, emphasizing alignment with academic incentives\, research integrity and appropriate funding mechanisms. \nApril 9: Building Industry Partnerships that Last: Whom to Talk to\, What to Ask - Learn how to identify the right industry counterparts\, structure early conversations to surface meaningful research and translational opportunities and set expectations that can evolve into sustained collaboration.   \nContact RD-Support@umich.edu with questions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Transgressive Navigation: Tanegashima\, Kyoto\, and the Wokou in Sixteenth-Century Maritime East Asia
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in room 555\, Weiser Hall\, and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at https://myumi.ch/A1DNw\n   \n   This presentation uses the theme of navigation to rewrite the sixteenth-century history of so-called Japanese pirates (Ch. *Wokou*) from the participating seafarers’ perspectives. To do so\, Professor Shapinsky traces the development of patronage networks and sea-routes linking islanders from Tanegashima in the Japanese archipelago with Kyoto aristocrats\, Ashikaga shogunal officials\, Chinese diplomatic envoys\, and Chinese sea merchants. These last integrated Tanegashima seafarers into raiding and trading consortia during the high tide of Wokou activity during the 1540s and 1550s.\n   \n   Peter Shapinsky is a professor of history at the University of Illinois\, Springfield. He is the author of *Lords of the Sea: Pirates\, Violence\, and Commerce in Late Medieval Japan* (Ann Arbor: Center for Japanese Studies\, University of Michigan\, 2014) and several articles and chapters\, including “Merchants\, Monks\, and Marauders: Medieval Japan on and over the Seas\,” forthcoming in the new *Cambridge History of Japan.*\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Jonah Rosenblum
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nGenomic data from a single institution lacks global diversity representation\, especially for rare variants and diseases. Confidential computing can enable collaborative genome-wide association studies (GWAS) without compromising privacy or accuracy. However\, due to limited secure memory space and performance overheads\, previous solutions fail to support widely used regression methods. Here we present SECRET-GWAS—a rapid\, privacy-preserving\, population-scale\, collaborative GWAS tool. We discuss several system optimizations\, including streaming\, batching\, data parallelization and reducing trusted hardware overheads to efficiently scale linear and logistic regression to over a thousand processor cores on an Intel SGX-based cloud platform. In addition\, we protect SECRET-GWAS against several hardware side-channel attacks. SECRET-GWAS is an open-source tool and works with the widely used Hail genomic analysis framework. Our experiments on Azure’s Confidential Computing platform demonstrate that SECRET-GWAS enables multivariate linear and logistic regression GWAS queries on population-scale datasets from ten independent sources in just 4.5 and 29 minutes\, respectively.\n\nAbout the DCMB Tools & Technology Seminar Series\n\nThe DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar Series is held in Medical Science Building 1 (MS1)\, Room 4B700\, each Thursday at 12pm EST. Each seminar highlights a computational tool\, technology\, or methodology that is under development or in current use and is of special interest to DCMB and University researchers. Presenters are U-M researchers and students.\n\nThese seminars are live-streamed and recorded and made available for future viewing via the DCMB YouTube Channel

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Residential Air Purifiers and the Value of Clean Air
DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, we show that standard approaches for valuing non-market amenities like clean air through defensive expenditures are methodologically fragile. Estimates are highly sensitive to assumptions about household use of defensive technologies\, and survey data on usage is unreliable. Moreover\, because researchers convert a one-time purchase or willingness-to-pay elicitation into a flow value by dividing by assumed hours of use\, lower assumed usage can mechanically imply higher valuations. To address this fragility\, we develop a revealed- preference approach that estimates the flow value of clean air using high-frequency data on residential air purifier usage in Dhaka\, Bangladesh. Leveraging randomized variation in the marginal cost of operation\, we recover the households’ trade-off between money and clean air without relying on purchase decisions or stated usage intentions. We find that the marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) for clean air is lower and much more tightly bounded than previous estimates. This low valuation is not driven by traditional market frictions like liquidity constraints or misperceptions about pollution severity and technology effectiveness\, suggesting limits to environmental policies that rely on sustained complementary household action.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Surgery with sound waves: delivering acoustic energy to the body for ultrasound surgery (histotripsy)\n\nAbstract:\nHistotripsy is a non-invasive\, non-thermal\, and non-ionizing tissue ablation method that was recently (Oct. 2023) approved by the FDA for the non-invasive treatment of liver tumors. Histotripsy is a platform technology\, with the potential to enable truly non-invasive surgery for many applications throughout the body\, from the abdominal region to the limbs\, brain\, and spine. However\, we currently cannot perform histotripsy everywhere in the body due to limitations in our ability to safely deliver sufficient acoustic energy to the target through heterogeneous\, attenuating bodily tissues. In this talk\, I will present my work to (1) numerically model and quantify acoustic energy delivery to the body\, and (2) optimize acoustic energy delivery through complex tissues via adaptive signal processing methods. I will discuss how these technologies will help expand the region where we can perform histotripsy\, broaden the population of patients who can receive histotripsy treatment\, and enable novel histotripsy applications.     \n\nBio:\nDr. Ellen Yeats is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and member of the Histotripsy Lab\, where she is advised by Dr. Zhen Xu and Dr. Timothy Hall. She received her B.S.E. in Biomedical Engineering from Vanderbilt University in 2017 and her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2024. In 2025\, Dr. Yeats was awarded an NIH T32 Training Fellowship through the Michigan Translational Imaging Program (M-TIP) with the Department of Radiology of University of Michigan Medicine\, where she is working with Dr. Shane Wells to develop improved imaging guidance and targeting for histotripsy. Through her research\, Dr. Yeats develops technologies that optimize the targeting and delivery of acoustic energy to the body for histotripsy. Her work aims to improve current clinical histotripsy treatments in the liver and to expand histotripsy applications to new\, challenging targets in the pelvis and spine.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899: Yue Wang
DESCRIPTION:This seminar begins with an overview of research at the Interdisciplinary & Intelligent Research (I2R) Lab focused on human–robot interaction and autonomy. We discuss computational models for human trust in robots\, how trust can be quantified and learned\, and how it can be incorporated into robot decision-making\, motion planning\, and control to achieve safer autonomy with higher user acceptance. Building on these models\, the talk highlights learning-based approaches that enable robots to reason under uncertainty and adapt to human preferences. We consider reinforcement learning in which key quantities\, such as value functions\, are represented probabilistically rather than as point estimates. These methods enable more stable and dataefficient learning. We then address collaborative settings involving multiple agents. By inferring global context through structured local information exchange\, these approaches support scalable\, robust collaboration without reliance on centralized critics or global information.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Energy for a Sustainable Future
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n Energy is at the root of many global challenges such as climate change\, food production\, clean water\, and geo-political tensions\, but discussions of this important subject are hampered by the fact that different sources of energy are described in different units making it difficult to compare relative contributions. I find the use of a simple visualizable unit\, a cubic mile of oil (cmo) as the metric for comparing all energy sources extremely helpful. Use of cmo evokes a visceral response and dispenses with mind-numbing multipliers like billions\, and trillions or unfamiliar quantities like Watts and Btus.\n\nThe world currently uses 4 cmo of energy\, and by 2050 the demand for energy is expected to increase to over 6 cmo. Electricity consumption is expected to more than double by then\, and this demand cannot be met through measures promoting conservation and improving energy efficiency alone\, nor as I will show\, can renewable sources like wind and solar fulfill this need. Nuclear power can deliver the requisite energy but getting the public to embrace nuclear power is a herculean task. People are concerned over plant safety\, long-term storage of spent fuel\, and nuclear proliferation. I will discuss these concerns and our general fear of radiation. I will also discuss the newer nuclear designs that are walk-away safe\, use accumulated spent fuel\, as well as nuclear materials in weapons—a modern-day version of beating swords into plowshares.\n\nBiography:\nRipudaman Malhotra is a retired organic chemist\, and during his career at SRI International he specialized on energy-related issues. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles and several technical monographs. In 2010 he co-authored “A Cubic Mile of Oil:  The Looming Energy Crisis and Options for Averting It\,” The book is a citizen’s guide to energy and to call for an informed public debate on energy\, arguably the biggest challenge we face. In 2005 he was named an SRI Fellow\; the highest award SRI bestows on its employees for excellence in research. In 2015 he received the Storch Award from the American Chemical Society’s Division of Energy and Fuels\, and in 2018 he was named a Fellow of the American Chemical Society

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2025-2026 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"ESO for astronomers: updates and opportunities\"\n\nAbstract: The European Southern Observatory is currently operating two world-class astronomical observatories: La Silla Paranal (optical/IR) and ALMA (sub/mm)\, the latter in partnership with North America and East Asia. Vigorous development programs for both observatories are being tackled in order to maintain their scientific competitiveness. ESO is also building the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) which will be operated together with the VLT and VLTI in Paranal at the turn of the decade. In the next few years the first VHE Gamma-Ray observatory CTAO (Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory)\, of which ESO is a founding partner\, will start early science operations in the southern site\, also as part of the Paranal site. With this portfolio\, ESO has become a multi-program organization\, with facilities across the wavelength spectrum\, enabling many scientific breakthroughs. Moving forward\, ESO has launched the Expanding Horizons process to identify a transformational facility for the 2040s which would become its next Program after the ELT. I will underline opportunities to both access science data from these facilities\, as well as to collaborate in instrument development.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Michigan Lectures in Algebraic Geometry and Topology: Stable homology of moduli spaces and moments in families of L-functions over function fields
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, several problems in arithmetic statistics that seem completely intractable over number fields\, have been resolved in the case of function fields by geometric methods\; more specifically\, by casting the problem in terms of the homology of a suitable moduli space of algebraic curves\, and understanding the homology asymptotically. Perhaps the most notable is the work of Ellenberg-Venkatesh-Westerland and Landesman-Levy on Cohen-Lenstra heuristics. \n\nI will talk about joint work with Bergström-Diaconu-Westerland and Miller-Patzt-Randal-Williams\, where this paradigm is applied to another problem in analytic number theory. There is a \"recipe\" due to Conrey-Farmer-Keating-Rubinstein-Snaith (CFKRS) which allows for precise predictions for the asymptotics of moments of many different families of L-functions. We consider the family of all L-functions attached to hyperelliptic curves over some fixed finite field\, in which case we are able to prove the CFKRS predictions for all moments\, for all sufficiently large (but fixed) q.\nWe do this by studying the homology of the moduli space of hyperelliptic curves\, with symplectic coefficients: we compute the stable homology groups\, together with their structure as Galois representations\, and prove a novel homological stability theorem in this setting. The proofs use homotopical ideas developed in connection with the Mumford conjecture\, Borel's work on stable real cohomology of arithmetic groups\, logarithmic algebraic geometry\, and cellular E_k-algebras.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DE Seminar: Smooth and swirling steady vortex rings near the Hill - Norbury Family
DESCRIPTION:Hill's spherical vortex is a classical explicit solution to the three dimensional Euler equations. It is an axisymmetric and swirl-free traveling wave solution with compactly supported yet discontinuous vorticity. In this talk we will explore the space of nearby Euler steady states and\, in particular\, prove that Hill's solution is the limit of traveling vortex rings that are smooth to infinite order. Along the way\, we shall unveil certain pathological aspects of this space of steady solutions. This is forthcoming joint work with Razvan Radu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Gene regulation and physiological adaptation: insight from hibernation in bears
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - Hibernation is a complex adaptation involving suppression of metabolism\, body temperature\, and activity during periods of prolonged resource scarcity. Understanding the genomic basis of hibernation can provide a better understanding for how physiological adaptations are gained\, lost\, and modified through evolution\, and how the modification of gene regulatory mechanisms can play a role in this process. This talk will highlight recent work integrating functional and evolutionary genomic approaches to uncover the gene regulatory mechanisms that underlie hibernation in brown bears (Ursus arctos) and investigate the evolution of hibernation across extant bear species.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Ordering the Sky: The Atmospherics of Sovereignty in the Hellenistic World
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will explore the relationship between unruly weather and ancient kingship\, proposing: first\, a widely acknowledged mode of meteorological legitimacy\; second\, that in certain configurations the atmospheric sky became an available object for management and manipulation\; and third\, that\, in consequence\, it became a landscape for thinking through the limits of sovereignty.\n\nPaul J. Kosmin (Philip J. King Professor of Ancient History at Harvard University) works on the political\, cultural\, and intellectual history of the ancient Greek world\, broadly understood. The core of his work to date has focused on the Hellenistic east – the political landscape that extended from the Greek mainland to India and Central Asia in the last three centuries BCE – and on three broad historical themes: the relationship between empires and systems of knowledge\; the interaction between the Greek world and its Near Eastern neighbors\; and ancient societies’ engagement with the “planetary”.\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:GEOMETRY SEMINAR    Actions of Lattices Preserving Flag Structures
DESCRIPTION:The general theme of this talk is understanding the possible actions of a group on closed manifolds. When the group is a lattice in a higher-rank semisimple Lie group\, it is expected that all possible actions are combinations of those inherited from the Lie group itself. While this has been proved in a few cases\, it remains largely open in general. We will examine a specific situation where the manifolds carry a flag structure and the actions preserve that structure\, leading to a classification of such actions. This talk is based on joint work with Vincent Pecastaing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Taverns and the Post-Revolutionary Republican Experiment
DESCRIPTION:In Accommodating the Republic: Use of Taverns in the Early United States\, Kirsten Wood explores how Americans' use taverns in their pursuits of happiness helped flesh out the evolving meaning of citizenship in the young United States.  In this talk\, she looks at the years following the Revolutionary War\, when Americans continued to use their neighborhood taverns as sites for gathering and political mobilization.  The scope and significance of practices that had been so central to the revolutionary struggle shifted in the early republic\, as Americans wrestled with the promise and problems of republican self-government.  Although the mid-nineteenth-century temperance movement would soon frame tavern-going as the habit of dangerously shiftless men\, in the republic's early decades\, entrepreneurial\, improvement-minded men—and some women!--went to taverns to raise capital\, promote innovative businesses\, practice genteel sociability\, and put republican self-government into practice.

DESCRIPTION:The Department of Musicology hosts a talk by guest scholar Emily Wilbourne (CUNY Queen’s college and Graduate Center)\; free and open to the public.\n\nWilbourne describes her presentation:\n\n\"In Western culture\, the voice plays an overdetermined role in the literal and metaphorical representation of personhood. We find our voice\, raise our voice\, recognize each other by the sounds of our voices\, and – through the democratic process – we hear the voice of the people. In this paper\, I am interested in voices that are misrecognized or misheard: voices that through illness\, medical treatment\, or training\, confound expectations in ways that foreground the sonic materiality of the voice and its relationship to cultural expectations.\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:36th Annual David W. Belin Lecture: Orthodox Jewish Wellness Influencers in the Age of Viral Politics
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Frankel Center for Judaic Studies is pleased to announce that Professor Ayala Fader of Fordham University will deliver the 36th Annual David W. Belin Lecture\, titled “Orthodox Jewish Wellness Influencers in the Age of Viral Politics.” \n\nOver the past decade\, frum (Orthodox) Jewish women wellness influencers on social media have become a significant presence. Despite attempts by some rabbis to silence them\, frum influencers in the United States and Israel continue to share intimate details of their everyday lives online\, earning a living through the promotion of products linked to their platforms. Professor Fader’s talk examines the seemingly contradictory worlds these influencers navigate: while claiming new forms of gendered authority\, they simultaneously reinforce traditional Jewish family structures and gender roles.\n\nDrawing inspiration from conservative Christian wellness influencers\, frum influencers create content that asserts Jewish exceptionalism while fostering unexpected exchanges with conservative Christian women. The lecture will consider whether frum social media influencers are subtly promoting illiberal politics through the gendered language of wellness.\n\nAyala Fader is Professor of Anthropology and Jewish Studies at Fordham University. She is the author of the award-winning books Mitzvah Girls (2009) and Hidden Heretics (2020). Professor Fader’s research has been generously supported by numerous fellowships and grants\, including those from the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. As the founding director of Fordham’s New York Center for Public Anthropology & Sociology\, she leads the Demystifying Language Project\, which makes linguistic anthropology a social justice resource for public high schools. This Spring\, Fader is a fellow at the Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies\n\n\nABOUT THE BELIN LECTURE:\n\nThe David W. Belin Lecture in American Jewish Affairs was established in 1991 through a generous gift from the late David W. Belin of Des Moines (IA) and New York to provide an academic forum for the discussion of contemporary Jewish life in the United States. As the founding chair of Reform Judaism's Outreach Commission and a founding member of the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous\, Belin served the American Jewish community in numerous leadership roles. His commitment to the future of American Jewry inspired him to endow this annual lectureship\, providing a forum for meaningful discussion of contemporary Jewish life in the United States.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Shana Moulton
DESCRIPTION:\n\nShana Moulton is an artist who works in video and performance. Her work blends feminist sensibilities with surrealist imagery and sound to probe the complexities of the contemporary psyche.\n\nHer ongoing Whispering Pines series investigates self-help culture\, the pursuit of spiritual fulfillment\, and the often comical absurdities of personal wellness rituals. Across performances\, videos\, and installations\, Moulton uses her alter ego\, Cynthia\, to craft narratives that are both deeply personal and widely relatable\, exploring the shifting boundaries between the mundane and the mystical in an era of global digital capitalism. Cynthia is in constant pursuit of fulfillment through new-age kitsch\, self-help paraphernalia\, and cosmetic rituals. The series takes its name from the mobile home park where Moulton grew up\, located between Fresno\, California\, and Yosemite National Park.\n\nThrough these works\, Moulton transforms ordinary objects\, domestic rituals\, and everyday spaces into intimate\, surreal landscapes that reflect on anxiety\, consumerism\, and the search for meaning in contemporary life.\n\nHer work invites audiences into a playful yet contemplative world\, where humor and vulnerability coexist\, encouraging reflection on the ways we navigate self-care\, technology\, and personal transformation in the modern age.\n\nMoulton’s videos have appeared in exhibitions and screenings around the world\, with presentations at venues and festivals such as The Armory Show Art Fair\, New York\; Smack Mellon\, Brooklyn\; Loop ’05 Video Festival\, Barcelona\; Rencontres internationales Paris/Berlin\, Paris\; Aurora\, Edinburgh\; Dark Light Festival\, Dublin\; Impakt Festival\, Utrecht\; Internationale Kurzfilmtage\, Oberhausen\; Canada Gallery\, New York\; and Bellwether\, New York. \n\nIn Partnership with the Ann Arbor Film Festival.\n\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reading and Q&A with Danielle Evans
DESCRIPTION:Login here (no pre-registration needed): http://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters25\n\nZell Visiting Writers Series readings and Q&As are free and open to the public. Seats are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot.\n\nDanielle Evans is the author of the story collections *The Office of Historical Corrections and Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self.* Her first collection won the PEN American Robert W. Bingham Prize\, the Hurston-Wright award for fiction\, and the Paterson Prize for fiction\; her second won the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize and The Bridge Book Award and was a finalist for The Aspen Prize\, The Story Prize\, and The LA Times Book prize. She is a 2024 USA Artists Fellow\, a 2020 National Endowment for the Arts fellow\, and the winner of New Literary Project Joyce Carol Oates Prize. Her stories have appeared in magazines including *The Paris Review\, A Public Space\, American Short* *Fiction\, and The Sewanee Review*\, and have been anthologized in *The Best American Short Stories and New Stories From The South*. She is an Associate Professor in The Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University and earned her MFA from The University of Iowa. \n\nHer work is interested in the gap between what happened and how people talk about it—what gets omitted or reframed\, what depends on whose version of the story is centered\, and how those gaps and omissions operate in the space of an individual life\, in a family\, and in a country. She is particularly interested in the question of performance: when the gulf between a character’s public self and private self is an act of conscious performance\, what makes a character aware that a role or performance is being demanded of them\, and how performance can be both an act of resistance and an act of acquiescence\, sometimes at the same time. \n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email kimjulie@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure this event is inclusive to you. The building\, event space\, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. Diaper changing tables are available in nearby restrooms.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Հմայարան / Hmayaran by Levon Kafafian (Detroit-based Artist)
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Opening: March 12\, 2026\nExhibit Dates: March 12-30\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\nSet within Kafafian's speculative future world Azadistan—a place of magic and spirits beyond a digital collapse\, Հմայարան / Hmayaran is an immersive shrine housing a series of soft-sculptural artifacts reimagining objects Armenians have traditionally crafted for spiritual power and protection.\n \n     Kafafian's focus in this exhibition is on the marks Armenians carve into stone\, clay and wood to imbue meaning\, memory and magic into their lived environments\, particularly as part of folk traditions outside of the realms of church and state.\n   \n     Channeled from the collective Armenian diasporic imaginary\, Kafafian's Portal Fire series depicts a narrative story that emerges from the materials as they are brought into relationship through weaving\, dyeing\, embellishment and thread. In this story world hybrid cultural practices and alternative spiritual modes develop from embodied traditions in response to the changing physical and cultural landscape of Southwest Asia in a future where technological catastrophe has severed global communications and erased digital archives. The multi-ethnic society of Azadistan takes shape through installations\, objects\, texts and performances manifesting the multiplicity of Aremenian-ness through the dimensions of a complicated past and its potential for a vibrant\, evolving futurity.\n\nCosponsor: Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Wayward Images
DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flyways
DESCRIPTION:Iranian-American artist Sheida Soleimani explores themes of migration\, political exile\, queerness\, and environmental crisis through the wildly imaginative and intricate scenarios she first stages in her studio. The tableaus—which often include live animals\, props\, even her parents—are then photographed\, documenting the artist’s process. Each photograph becomes a part of Soleimani’s rich visual storytelling.      \n\n*Flyways *presents a series of new photographs that include images evocative of her family’s history and migration story in juxtaposition with images of injured birds that are representative of Soleimani’s work as a wildlife rehabilitator. (In 2018\, Soleimani founded Congress of Birds\, a wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island.) The change in her practice to include bird rescue results in a revolutionary body of work steeped in passion and articulated in a completely original visual language.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Craft Lecture: “Past\, Present Future: Shifting Time and Perspective in Fiction” by Danielle Evans
DESCRIPTION:*Login here (no pre-registration needed): http://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters25*\n\n*Zell Visiting Writers Series readings and Q&As are free and open to the public and will be offered both virtually (via Zoom) and in person (Michigan Union\, Anderson ABCDE). Seats are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot.*\n\nDanielle Valore Evans is the author of the story collections *The Office of Historical Corrections* and *Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self*. Her first collection won the PEN American Robert W. Bingham Prize\, the Hurston-Wright award for fiction\, and the Paterson Prize for fiction\; her second won the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize and The Bridge Book Award and was a finalist for The Aspen Prize\, The Story Prize\, and *The LA Times* Book prize. She is a 2024 USA Artists Fellow\, a 2020 National Endowment for the Arts fellow\, and the winner of New Literary Project Joyce Carol Oates Prize. Her stories have appeared in magazines including *The Paris Review*\, *A Public Space*\, *American Short Fiction*\, and *The Sewanee Review\,* and have been anthologized in *The Best American Short Stories* and *New Stories From The South*. She is an Associate Professor in The Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University and earned her MFA from The University of Iowa. \n\nHer work is interested in the gap between what happened and how people talk about it—what gets omitted or reframed\, what depends on whose version of the story is centered\, and how those gaps and omissions operate in the space of an individual life\, in a family\, and in a country. She is particularly interested in the question of performance: when the gulf between a character’s public self and private self is an act of conscious performance\, what makes a character aware that a role or performance is being demanded of them\, and how performance can be both an act of resistance and an act of acquiescence\, sometimes at the same time. \n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email kimjulie@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure this event is inclusive to you. The building\, event space\, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. Diaper changing tables are available in nearby restrooms. Gender-inclusive restrooms are available on every floor of the Union. ASL interpreters and CART services at in-person events are available upon request\; please email kimjulie@umich.edu at least two weeks prior to the event\, whenever possible\, to allow time to arrange services.\n\nU-M employees with a U-M parking permit may use the Church Street Parking Structure (525 Church St.\, Ann Arbor) or the Thompson Parking Structure (500 Thompson St.\, Ann Arbor). There is limited metered street parking on State Street and South University Avenue. The Forest Avenue Public Parking Structure (650 South Forest Ave.\, Ann Arbor) is five blocks away\, and the parking rate is $1.20 per hour.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Delegated Screening: Evidence from Government-Backed Loans (with Felipe Brugués\, Thi Mai Anh Nguyen\, and Sebastián Vélez)
DESCRIPTION:Government guarantees are a ubiquitous policy tool\, leveraging intermediaries' informational advantage to allocate credit\, yet they introduce a fundamental agency conflict: by insulating lenders from losses\, they undermine the incentive to screen and distort product choice towards intermediaries' private benefits. This paper examines the power of dynamic incentives in mitigating both frictions. In the context of a large government-backed credit program in Colombia\, we find evidence that lenders conduct less screening and take on greater risk with government-backed loans than with their traditional products. However\, this tendency is mitigated by a dynamic quota-and-fee mechanism employed by the program.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“Why did you live? Is it all a terrible joke?”: A Mahler Talk by Joseph Horowitz
DESCRIPTION:Join the University Symphony Orchestra for a program with guest artist and author Joseph Horowitz\, generously sponsored by the Sally Fleming Master Class Fund. Free and open to the public.\n\nGustav Mahler once said: “Why did you live? Why did you suffer? Is it all a terrible joke? We have to solve these questions in some way if we are to continue living. Anyone whose life has heard this call must give an answer.”\n\nAmong Mahler’s nine symphonies\, the Sixth – known as “The Tragic” – furnishes the darkest record of his inner life. After conducting the dress rehearsal for the premiere\, in 1904\, he paced up and down\, sobbing\, wringing his hands\, unable to control himself. At the concert itself\, he was so afraid of the demons he had unleashed that he conducted badly. He subsequently conducted his Sixth Symphony only two times. According to his wife Alma: “No other work flowed so directly from his heart. We both cried at the time\; we felt so deeply what this music meant\, what it forebodingly told us.” Mahler himself felt he possessed a power to intuit the future.  \n\nWhat happens in Mahler’s Sixth? What is the “dark omen” of the finale\, with its three hammer blows of fate? And why should it matter to us – more than ever – today?\n\nMahler also said: “Tradition is not the worship of ashes\, but the preservation of fire.” His disciples revered him\; one – the conductor Oskar Fried – called him “pure in a superhuman way”\n\nJoseph Horowitz’s Mahler talk – with copious audio and video clips – will explore Mahler’s Sixth Symphony in the context of Mahler’s life and times. Then he’ll be joined by conductor Kenneth Kiesler to ask: What can we learn today from Mahler the conductor? \n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nJOSEPH HOROWITZ is an award-winning author\, concert producer\, film-maker\, and broadcaster. He is one of the most prominent and widely published writers on topics in American music. As an orchestral administrator and advisor\, he has been a pioneering force in the development of thematic programming and new concert formats. Horowitz’s most recent books include a novel\, *The Marriage: The Mahlers in New York*\, about which Clive Paget wrote in *Musical America*: “With his unparalleled knowledge of fin-de-siècle classical music in America\, Joseph Horowitz [has] brought us closer to Mahler and his wife Alma than any other author I have read. . . . At times\, your heart breaks for them both. . . . In Gustav and Alma Mahler\, Horowitz has created two of classical music’s most convincing fictional portraits.” Another Horowitz book\, *Dvorak’s Prophecy and the Vexed Fate of Black Classical Music*\, tells a story that “must be heard if classical music is to contribute to the national discussion on racial justice” (according to Mark Clague of the University of Michigan). A former *New York Times* music critic\, and Executive Director of the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra\, Horowitz works as an artistic consultant for orchestras throughout the US\, and also regularly produces 50-minute “More than Music” documentaries for National Public Radio.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AI for Better Social Science: Capabilities and Challenges with Survey Research
DESCRIPTION:Register to receive Zoom link at https://myumi.ch/n1dDV \n\nProgram: \n\nAI-Assisted Conversational Interviewing: Effects on Data Quality and Respondent Experience \nSoubhik Barari\, Senior Research Methodologist at NORC at the University of Chicago\, working on applied problems at the intersection of survey methodology\, data science\, and AI. \n\nAbstract: Standardized surveys scale efficiently but often lack depth\, while conversational interviews improve response quality but are costly and inconsistent. This study advances a framework for AI‑assisted conversational interviewing to bridge this divide and demonstrates evidence of its practical utility. In a web survey experiment with 1\,800 participants\, we deployed AI “chatbots” powered by large language models to probe respondents for elaboration and to code open‑ended answers in real time. The chatbots achieved reasonably strong accuracy in live coding\, though they exhibited some over-identification of themes\, partly reflecting respondents’ tendency to agree with AI suggestions. They elicited richer\, more detailed responses compared to standard surveys\, with only small trade‑offs in respondent experience. Overall\, our results demonstrate that AI‑supported conversational tools can meaningfully enhance the depth and quality of open‑ended data collection\, pointing to a new generation of scalable\, adaptive survey methods.\n\nLLMs as Synthetic Respondents: A Tool for Augmenting Human Surveys\nSerina Chang\, Assistant Professor at UC Berkeley\, jointly appointed in EECS and Computational Precision Health and part of the Berkeley AI Research (BAIR) Lab. \n\nAbstract: Surveys are an invaluable resource for understanding human opinions and behaviors\, but they require substantial time and effort. Large language models (LLMs) present new opportunities to predict responses to survey questions\, given their natural language abilities and social knowledge acquired during pretraining. Integrating LLMs as synthetic respondents into survey pipelines could improve efficiency across multiple stages—from pre-survey pilot testing and sampling design to post-survey data imputation and analysis—not as a replacement for human participants but as a way to augment existing workflows. However\, these opportunities also raise new challenges\, including how to accurately reflect the opinions of diverse subpopulations\, generalize to questions outside LLM training data\, and reduce computational costs. In this talk\, I describe how we address these challenges in our work. First\, we show that fine-tuning LLMs on survey data substantially improves their ability to predict public opinion\, generalizing to unseen surveys and subgroups. In complementary work\, rather than fine-tuning with additional data\, we leverage knowledge already encoded in the LLM\, showing with probes and sparse autoencoders that models contain far more internal knowledge of human opinions than their outputs reveal. Finally\, we present graph-based approaches as a lightweight alternative: a graph model equipped with language representations from LLMs—but requiring no further LLM training or inference—can match LLM performance on some survey tasks while using orders of magnitude less compute.\n\nValidation and Inference for Survey Research Using Silicon Sampling \nLisa Argyle\, Associate Professor of Political Science at Purdue\n\nAbstract: In both research and commercial applications\, AI is increasingly being used to create synthetic representations of humans. This raises at least two important questions for scientists as they consider the integration of this new tool: How can a researcher know if the silicon survey output is valid? And how can a researcher make new inferences on the basis of synthetic output? Drawing on a synthesis of research on silicon sampling\, I discuss the intellectual foundations of this approach\, the ongoing practical and theoretical challenges\, and cutting edge methodological tools. I conclude by proposing some best practices for conducting transparent open science using large language models.\n \nValidating LLM simulations as behavioral evidence\nJessica Hullman\, Ginni Rometty Professor of Computer Science and Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University.\n\nAbstract: A growing literature positions AI\, and especially large language models (LLMs)\, as a transformative technology for simulating human behavior in surveys and experiments. This promise sparks a debate over how best to leverage this new data source. While a growing number of empirical studies report that LLM-simulated responses can approximate patterns found in real survey and experimental data\, there is little consensus on what it means to show that AI surrogates are valid for the purpose of studying human behavior. I’ll contrast heuristic approaches to validation in the literature from statistical calibration approaches that account for biases learned on items for which human ground truth labels are known. While calibration approaches provide guarantees of the type that social scientists are accustomed to expecting from statistical methods\, they are not a panacea. I’ll describe limitations based on the nature of behavioral data and reflect on meta-scientific questions that arise about the epistemic status of silicon samples as behavioral data.\n\nDiscussant:  Ambuj Tewari\, Professor\, Department of Statistics\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor

Snacks will be served.\n\nProfessor Vincent's presentation will center on Moment Work\, a process of devising theatre pioneered by Tectonic Theatre Company\, based in New York City. Developed by theatre practitioners Moisés Kaufman and Barbara Pitts McAdams\, Moment Work is a collaborative\, bottom-up method for creating plays\, which involves breaking down stories into individual 'moments' (using all stage elements like light\, sound\, and props) and sequencing them to build a full narrative\, moving beyond traditional text-based playwriting. Moment Work can also be a method of reading and interpreting dramatic works.\n\nMichael Vincent (he/him) is Technical Director\, Program Administrator\, and Lecturer in Theatre Arts and Studies at Johns Hopkins University. Michael designs JHU Theatre's mainstage productions\, and oversees all technical aspects in Merrick Barn. Michael also works regularly in the professional theatres of Baltimore. He has recently served as set designer or Technical Director for ArtsCentric\, Fells Point Corner Theatre\, Strand Theatre\, and Baltimore Poet’s Theatre. At Hopkins he worked as Co-Director with John Astin for SUNDAY ON THE ROCKS in 2018\, as well Stage Manager\, Board Operator\, and other positions as needed. Michael is interested in all aspects of theatre and is grateful for continued opportunities to grow and explore the art form. He holds a BA in Political Science from JHU (2007) and an MFA in Theatre Arts from Towson University (2024).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-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 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:What Is My “Academic” Voice?
DESCRIPTION:This workshop seeks to assist participants in realizing their writing voice and how it relates to academic conventions of formality and genre.\n\nDo you feel that your academic writing should “sound” a certain way? Have you been told to alter the way your thoughts show up on the page? Depending on the rhetorical situation\, audience\, and medium\, our writing voice adopts different formalities. During this workshop\, we’ll unpack how tone\, syntax\, and diction intertwine to encompass our individual writing style. We’ll begin by understanding your thought processes through presenting ideas in your own way\, then moving through exercises that will guide you through how to incorporate feedback while maintaining uniqueness and clarity.\n\nPresented by Chris Crowder\, Sweetland Center for Writing Faculty\n\nRegistration required. See Links.\n\nRackham/Sweetland Workshops\, co-sponsored by the Rackham Graduate School\, cover a host of topics designed to help graduate students in various aspects of writing.

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Archaeology from space: Applications of satellite remote sensing to past- and future-facing archaeological Issues
DESCRIPTION:Satellite remote sensing is widely implemented in environmental science\, geology\, and more recently\, in archaeological research. This is largely due to its efficiency in data collection and analyses at regional scales. Questions of human-environment interaction animate research within and across these fields with spectroscopy being a commonly employed technique. In this presentation\, I will detail two applications of remote sensing—one focused on strategies for raw material procurement of prehistoric hunter-gatherers in the Atacama Desert (Chile)\, and the other concerned with modern cultural resource management in southwestern Puerto Rico. Together\, these case studies demonstrate the utility of the method in both the study and preservation of archaeological phenomena.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series | Empty Hands: Kinship and Loss in a Former Phang Nga Mining Town
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: http://myumi.ch/e35rZ\n\nIndustries of extraction have long flourished in the resource rich region of southern Thailand\, the confluence of state interests and production coming to shape dynamics of intercommunal relations and to define and enforce categories of ethnicity and religion in the region. In this presentation\, Chantal Croteau focuses on one such industry – the tin mining industry\, which exploded along the southwestern coast of then Siam in the 19th century\, generating significant social and economic changes and bringing individuals with different ethnoreligious identities\, categories themselves remade and reformulated over time\, together in arduous and risky labor\, before the collapse of the industry in the late-1980s.\n   \n   Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and oral history conversations\, she examines the relations of kinship\, precarity\, and loss generated through the volatile world of the boom-and-bust southern tin mining industry\, a world made all the more unstable by earlier state practices that had cultivated debt and addiction within the mining community. Attending to narratives of economic precarity and migration and embodied practices of kinship such as the sharing of food and the caretaking of spiritually dangerous deceased persons\, she analyzes how the building of intimacy and kinship can operate as a strategy of survival in unpredictable times. However\, as the histories of my interlocutors reveal\, the making of kinship requires continuous cultivation\, as relations are fraught with fragility and risk.\n   \n   Chantal Croteau is a PhD Candidate in Sociocultural Anthropology at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Her long-term research investigates the intersections between extractive industries\, ecological change\, and intercommunal relations in southern Thailand. Previously\, she was a Charlotte W. Newcombe Fellow in religion and ethics. Her creative ethnographic work has been featured in Anthropology & Humanism\, Practicing Anthropology\, and Anthropology News.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at valdezjo@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Identity-Making and the Environment
DESCRIPTION:Humans are inherently entangled with and affected by the environmental landscapes in which they exist. Terrestrial\, aquatic\, and now even galactic environments are spaces of conquest\, habitation\, cultivation\, and destruction. Moreover\, these diverse environments play a large role in identity formation in these spaces.    \n  \nFor example\, Paul Kosmin’s latest work\, \"The Ancient Shore\,\" reframes the coast as a conceptual zone and the coastline as an unpredictable site with boundless possibilities. “The ancient shore was where the efforts of communal ordering and intellectual fabrication met the 'raw\,' unassimilated environment most continuously and maximally. It was—and perhaps remains—the primary location for orienting ourselves to a natural world that is given to us without being intended for us (3).” Coasts provide a spatial and chronological liminality where political\, cultural\, scientific\, and philosophical forms of knowledge were continuously invented and new identities claimed. This “spatial turn\,” along with questions of identity-making\, offers new insights into the study of environmental history and compels us to connect people\, objects\, states\, ideas\, and beliefs with places\, spaces\, and time in this light. In turn\, this workshop will explore these intersections between identity-making and the environment.\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:Livestream / Virtual:Flash Talk | Spartacus Stopped: Uncovering a Roman Defensive Wall
DESCRIPTION:March’s Flash Talk will highlight the research of Paolo Visonà\, a professor at the University of Kentucky and an IPAMAA alumnus (1985). In the Dossone della Melia forest in south-central Calabria\, Italy\, Dr. Visonà led a team that identified a 2.7-kilometer-long Roman defensive wall and ditch—initially constructed by the Roman general Marcus Licinius Crassus to contain Spartacus and his forces during their slave revolt. The discovery also included numerous battle remnants such as broken iron weapons\, suggesting that a conflict occurred there. This talk will detail how Visonà’s team uncovered the wall’s historical significance\, all while shedding new light on Roman military history and Spartacus’s legendary rebellion.\n\nKelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators\, staff members\, researchers\, graduate students\, and guests talking about their recent research or current projects. Each presentation is followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Flash Talks are free and open to all visitors. \n\nTo register for this Flash Talk\, fill out the form at https://forms.gle/4Uyt27BVfYXRRaGj9. Zoom log-in information will be provided upon registration. Please sign up by 9:30 AM the day of the event to ensure you receive a confirmation email containing the access code.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NERS Colloquium: Osborn Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Current Challenges to Global Nuclear Security\n\nAbstract\nNuclear deterrence\, nonproliferation\, and arms control have had notable success in the 80 years since World War II.  Recent and ongoing changes in the geopolitical landscape present significant challenges to continued success and to the peace and security that many nations have enjoyed for more than half a century.  U.S. strategies to maintain peace and security have aimed at sustaining a credible and effective nuclear deterrent and preventing the spread of nuclear weapons\, along with many other efforts.  Changes in force structures\, alliances\, partnerships\, and ambitions of potential adversaries have increased the challenges associated with nuclear deterrence\, and other changes are challenging the continued success of nuclear nonproliferation.  This talk will describe many of these challenges and discuss some of the ongoing efforts to meet them.\n\nBio\nDr. Adams began his nuclear career in 1977 as an engineering aide at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant near Chattanooga\, TN.  He has spent most of his career since 1986 engaged in a variety of roles related to national and international security.  His most recent major role was as the Deputy Administrator for Defense Programs at the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)\, where he was responsible for the programs that design\, manufacture\, certify\, transport\, maintain\, assess\, and dismantle U.S. nuclear weapons\, and for working with other government agencies on policy and force structure decisions related to the U.S. nuclear deterrent.  Prior to his Senate confirmation as Deputy Administrator\, Dr. Adams served on the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology\; the Stockpile Assessment Team of the Strategic Advisory Group for U.S. Strategic Command\; the JASON defense advisory group\; the National Academies' Committee on International Security and Arms Control\; the Predictive Science Panel for the Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories (LLNL and LANL)\; the Mission Committee for LANL\; the Predictive Engineering Sciences Panel at Sandia National Laboratories\, and many other review and advisory bodies related to national security.  Dr. Adams spent more than five years as a physicist in the weapons program at LLNL and 30 years as Professor of Nuclear Engineering at Texas A&M University before serving as NNSA Deputy Administrator\, and he has returned to the Texas A&M University System as a Senior Advisor in the Nuclear Security Office.  Dr. Adams earned his Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in nuclear engineering from the University of Michigan and his B.S. degree in nuclear engineering from Mississippi State University.\n\nThe Richard K. Osborn Lecture series has been made possible by a generous endowment from MIT Professor Emeritus Sidney Yip\, a former student of Professor Osborn. These annual lectures are a tribute to Professor Osborn’s unwavering dedication to the education of students in fundamental science. The goal of these lectures is to inspire future generations of students in nuclear theory and simulation.
