Laith Al-Saadi has always had the perfect combination of Midwestern hustle and incredible musical chops—honed at the University of Michigan school of music in his hometown of Ann Arbor\, and on stages across the country working with legends like Taj Mahal\, Luther Allison\, Buddy Guy\, Son Seals\, Gregg Allman\, and B.B. King. \n\n“Laith is one of the most diverse talents we have\,” said Maroon 5 frontman and “The Voice” coach Adam Levine. “Incredible guitar player\, incredible singer.” \n\nEntertainment Weekly called Laith Al-Saadi “a power performer who is so legitimate and memorable.” \n\nAudiences have agreed\, propelling Laith’s album “REAL” to the top of the blues chart for five weeks and the top 20 album chart for two weeks. Guitar World Magazine has called Laith Al-Saadi a cross between \"Danny Gatton and Buddy Guy at their best\,” and in 2006 Guitar Center crowned him one of the top four blues guitarists in the United States.

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\" UID:146980-21900152@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260327T120110 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260330T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260330T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

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.

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 UID:143403-21893095@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143403 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Area Studies,Armenian Studies,Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260223T141911 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260330T084500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260330T164500 SUMMARY:Exhibition:America at 250: Reflections on the Bicentennial DESCRIPTION:The Gerald R.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Event attendees will have the opportunity to explore Soleimani’s photography in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and/or to go on a central campus bird-watching tour. For either portion of the event\, please meet at the Institute for the Humanities at 202 South Thayer. \n\nSheida Soleimani is an artist\, educator\, and licensed wildlife rehabilitator whose work examines power\, environmental crisis\, queerness\, migration\, and care. The daughter of political refugees who escaped Iran in the early 1980s\, Soleimani draws on archival materials\, props\, and sculptural elements to create visually lush\, politically incisive tableaux. She works across various mediums\, investigating themes such as oil politics and human rights abuses\, confronting the systems of violence linking the SWANA region and the United States\, unraveling their implications in American culture. Though her images are dreamlike\, they are grounded in lived experience: her parents frequently appear as subjects\, in compositions made from elements of their (sometimes harrowing) tales. Increasingly\, wildlife enters the frame – injured and orphaned birds\, with their own quiet stories of migration and survival. Before the lens\, these animals encapsulate Soleimani's multifaceted practice: care as art\, storytelling as resistance.\n\nThe bird walk will be led by Sam Kocurek with the Office of Campus Sustainability and LSA\, and Tim McKay\, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education in LSA. This will serve as training for volunteers interested in helping collect data for an ongoing migratory bird safety project and as well as an opportunity to get familiar with local campus birds. \n\nDonuts\, hot chocolate\, and hot tea will be available while supplies last. \n\n**If you cannot make this event but are interested in viewing Soleimani’s exhibit\, you can visit the Gallery anytime Monday through Friday from 9AM to 5PM\, March 19th - May 1st\, 2026.

We implement a large-scale field experiment among 50\,000 likely unemployed individuals to study the causes and labor supply implications of incomplete UI take-up. Informational letters increased applications and receipt\, with effects concentrated among low-wage workers. Rejection rates among treated applicants also increased: this suggests that the letters primarily reduced learning costs rather than improved eligibility beliefs. Randomized messages aimed at reducing free-rider stigma induced more applications\, primarily among high-wage job seekers. Although prior work finds that more generous UI slows job finding\, our take-up intervention modestly increased reemployment\, as work-search requirements hastened job finding among recipients but also screened out applicants who were unwilling or unable to verify their search. We develop and estimate a structural job search model calibrated to the reduced form-experimental results to quantify these frictions and show that lower search-compliance costs yield the largest welfare gains for unemployed workers.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Between thousand to million times per day\, your cellphone calculates the Fourier Transform (FT) of certain complex valued functions defined on 0\,1\,…\,N-1\, with N large (order of magnitude of thousands and more). \nThe calculation is done using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) - discovered by Cooley--Tukey in 1965 and by Gauss in 1805. \n\nIn the lecture I want to advertise a beautiful way—due to Auslander-Tolimieri—to obtain the FFT as a natural consequence of an answer to the following:\n\nQuestion: How to think on the space of functions on the set 0\,1\,…\,N-1? \n\nEngineers tell us that there are two answers for this question:\n\n(A) as functions on that set\, where 0\,1\,…\,N-1 regarded as times\; and\,\n\n(B) as functions on that set\, where 0\,1\,…\,N-1 regarded frequencies\;\n\nand then the FT is an operator translating between the two spaces. \n\nIn the lecture\, I will explain that there is another answer\, i.e.\, a not so well-known third space (C)\, of arithmetic nature\, that also gives an answer to the above question\, and then the FFT appears simply as the composition of two operators: \nthe one translating between spaces (A) and (C)\, and the one that translates (C) to (B).\n\nRemark: The lecture is prepared to be understood by undergraduate students (from any department) who took basic course in linear algebra.

Many scholars have argued that Finley’s economic model was too simplistic and ultimately incorrect\, or they demonstrated just how much technological development did\, in fact\, take place across the ancient Mediterranean (Greene 2000\, Oleson 2008). Nevertheless\, even with his thesis significantly undermined\, the specific interactions of slavery and technology have been lost. Working from recent scholarship that has emphasized the huge variety of slaving systems in Classical Greece\, the Hellenistic Kingdoms\, and the Roman Empire (Porter 2025\, Larsen and Letteney 2025\, Vlassopoulos 2023)\, as well as frameworks that conceptualize technology beyond tools for accelerating efficiency\, this talk examines how different types of technology rose and fell with the expansion of various types of enslavement\, including in the fields of mining\, manufacturing\, farming\, infrastructure\, and medicine. Moreover\, by treating enslaved peoples as technologically proficient individuals\, who came from different regional traditions\, it acknowledges how enslavement distributed expertise across the ancient world. Overall\, it outlines how we might conceptualize the question of technology and freedom\, even in our current era\, where the future seems to hinge on this debate.\n\nDr. Webster investigates science\, technology\, medicine\, and philosophy in the ancient world. His current research projects include a study of medicinal plant exchange from the Mediterranean to India\, and an evaluation of enslavement's impact on technological development in antiquity. His first book\, Tools and the Organism (Chicago) won the Charles J. Goodwin Award of Merit and has been shortlisted for the William H. Welch Medal.

These environmental interfaces play pivotal roles in processes that affect air quality\, water quality\, climate\, and HEALTH (planetary\, ecosystem\, and human health). For the Willard Lectureship in Analytical Chemistry\, my presentation will focus on the chemistry and impacts of atmospheric aerosols as well as larger aqueous microdroplets found in clouds and fog. Aerosol and microdroplet surfaces represent important components of the Earth’s atmosphere where chemical reactions can occur. Utilizing molecular-based tools\, we have gleaned mechanistic details of how these reactions proceed to better understand their global impacts.

Poland’s Socialist Globalisation DESCRIPTION:Between the political thaw of 1955 and the collapse of the socialist project in 1989\, the Polish People's Republic developed close\, equal relations with many decolonizing countries in Asia\, Africa\, and the Middle East. This was not solely the result of Cold War expansion and competition between political camps. However\, socialist globalization\, although based on the ideals of left-wing internationalism\, also brought tangible benefits to the country rebuilding itself after the war. It was both a long and difficult process of establishing institutions and of Poles developing and learning a new\, anti-colonial\, non-racist language of international cooperation. Cegielski will illustrate this through three artistic exhibitions he is curating. They arose and are being developed based on scholarly work with forgotten archives from Poland\, India\, Ghana\, and Iraq.\n \n Max Cegielski is a writer\, curator\, and researcher\, who has authored several novels and works of non-fiction. As a curator\, he developed *Sklep Polsko-Indyjski/Prince Polonia* (co-curated with Janek Simon)\, which has been presented at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw\, Clark House Initiative in Mumbai\, and TRAFO Center for Contemporary Art in Szczecin (2017–2018). He is currently collaborating with Simon on the research project and exhibition *One Man Does Not Rule a Nation*\, which explores Polish–Ghanaian relations in the 1960s and has been presented at the Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts\, TRAFO Szczecin\, FCA Ghana\, Red Clay Studio in Tamale\, and the Museum of African Art in Belgrade.\n He is a member of the Interdisciplinary Research Group \"Socialist Poland and the Global South\" at the Polish Academy of Sciences.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu.

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\" UID:146980-21900153@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260327T120110 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260331T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260331T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

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.

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 UID:143403-21893096@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143403 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Area Studies,Armenian Studies,Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260223T141911 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260331T084500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260331T164500 SUMMARY:Exhibition:America at 250: Reflections on the Bicentennial DESCRIPTION:The Gerald R.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If the abundances of the species involved in a reaction network are small\, then the randomness inherent in the molecular interactions is important to the system dynamics\, and hence the abundances are modeled stochastically with a jump-by-jump fashion continuous-time Markov chain. In the first half of this talk\, we discuss classical and recent issues in reaction network literature\, which especially include how the graphical structures of reaction networks are related to stability and mixing times of the associated Markov processes. We will also discuss how the stability and mixing times can be used for practical problems in system biology and biology computing.

Our experiment was embedded in a Bank of Italy survey covering around 3\,000 firms. We elicited firms’ beliefs about competitors’ adoption of two advanced technologies: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics. We randomly provided half of the sample with accurate information about adoption rates. Most firms substantially underestimated competitors’ current adoption\, and when provided with information\, they updated their expectations about competitors’ future adoption. The information increased firms’ own intended future adoption of robotics: a 1 pp increase in the share of competitors expected to adopt advanced technologies causes an increase of 0.704 pp in the firm’s own robotics adoption. We do not observe a significant effect on AI adoption\, but we cannot rule out modest effects either. Our findings provide causal evidence on coordination in innovation and illustrate how information frictions shape technology diffusion.\n\nWe present a large-scale field experiment on the geography of strategic complementarities in firms’ AI investment. Our experiment was embedded in the ECB’s Survey on the Access to Finance of Enterprises (SAFE)\, covering around 3\,300 firms across twelve European countries. We elicited firms’ beliefs about the share of domestic and foreign competitors investing in AI\, and randomly provided half of the sample with accurate information about both groups. Firms substantially underestimated competitors’ current AI investment\, especially for foreign competitors\, and updated both domestic and foreign beliefs in response to the information treatment. The information also increased firms’ own expected AI investment rate. Using a 2SLS framework\, we find that a 1 pp increase in the expected share of domestic competitors investing in AI raises the firm’s own expected AI investment rate by 0.567 pp\, while the corresponding effect of foreign competitors is close to zero and statistically insignificant. Our findings provide causal evidence that information frictions shape the diffusion of innovation and that strate- gic complementarities in AI investment are much stronger at the domestic than at the foreign level.

What would it mean to look at the suburbs as a site of new possibilities rather than a place many have tried to escape? This event will explore the new realities of suburban living and what we can do to work towards greater equity and racial justice.\n\nThis event is free and open to U-M students\, faculty\, staff\, alumni\, and community members.\n\nLunch from Jerusalem Garden provided.\n\nAbout the speakers\n\nR. L'Heureux Lewis-McCoy is a scholar whose work and activism center issues of race\, place\, education\, and opportunity. He is an Associate Professor at New York University in the Sociology of Education program in the School of Culture\, Education and Human Development. He is author of the forthcoming book A Dream Dissolved: How Opportunity Hoarding Bankrupted Education (One Signal – Simon & Shuster/Atria). He is the co-lead investigator of the Black Suburban Experience Project. His first book\, Inequality in the Promised Land (Stanford University Press\, 2014) tackled how inequality persisted in an \"integrated\" school and suburban community. His larger research interests include race and racism\, gender justice\, and community mobilization.\n\nMo Torres (MPP ‘15) is a sociologist interested in urban political economy\, inequality\, the sociology of race/racism\, and the politics of knowledge production. He is a postdoctoral fellow in the Michigan Society of Fellows and an assistant professor of sociology and public policy. His current book project uses mixed and historical methods to explore the politics of post-industrial decline and the production of urban austerity in Michigan from the 1970s to the present. He is a U-M (MPP '15) and Fulbright (Brazil '19) alumnus and received his PhD in sociology from Harvard University in 2023\, where he held fellowships at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Stone Program in Inequality and Social Policy. A first-generation college graduate\, Mo is a former Detroit Public Schools teacher.\n\nAlexandra K. Murphy is the Associate Director of Social Science Research at Mcity. Murphy is also an Assistant Research Scientist at Poverty Solutions in the Ford School of Public Policy\, and a Faculty Associate of the Population Studies Center at the Institute for Social Research\, all at the University of Michigan. She received her PhD in Sociology and Social Policy from Princeton University. In her research\, she uses ethnographic methods to examine how poverty and inequality are experienced\, structured\, and reproduced across and within multiple domains of social life\, including neighborhoods\, social networks\, and the state. One line of research investigates the new suburban poverty. Murphy's work in this area has focused on variations in social service responses to rising poverty across diverse suburbs\; urban and suburban comparisons in social service capacity\; and the theoretical\, conceptual\, and methodological issues suburban poverty raises for a sociological understanding of geography and inequality.

The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, https://myumi.ch/79Dp1\n\nWhat happens when Italy’s most “sacred” daily ritual\, an espresso at a coffee bar\, is increasingly performed not by Italians but by Chinese migrants? Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Bologna\, this talk examines how racialized Chinese migrants preserve this distinctive Italian social and cultural tradition by deploying local knowledge and taste\, often gleaned from longtime residents who have come\, sometimes resentfully\, to regard this arrangement as a new normal. In particular\, it highlights how diasporic Chinese entrepreneurs both reproduce Italy's existing racial hierarchies while also forming their own racial categories and understandings that mirror China’s growing geopolitical and economic power.\n \n Grazia Deng is a research scholar at Brandeis University. As a sociocultural anthropologist\, she studies global China through the lenses of migration\, race\, and global capitalism. She is the author of the book *Chinese Espresso: Contested Race and Convivial Space in Contemporary Italy* (Princeton University Press\, 2024)\, which is shortlisted for the Gourmand Book Award. She is now working on a new project on Chinese-led racial capitalism in the Made-in-Italy fashion industry.

The discussion will focus on a number of his projects\, such as transforming the tall skinny volume of a former light bulb testing facility in Croatia’s capital into a sonic and auditory beacon\, which plays back the tempos of daily life\; or Novak’s installations and objects that challenge our assumptions of weight\, mass\, and the roles of spectators. Through material with specific associations of weight and mass – from monumental steel and straw constructions to working with light and space – Vladimir Novak’s practice engages contemporary dialogues on the roles of performances without performers\, coincidental audiences\, and performances by audiences.\n\nThis program will be streamed online via Zoom at this link. This virtual talk will also be live-streamed at RU’s space at 360 Court Street\, Brooklyn\, NY for visitors who wish to attend in person.\n\nVladimir Novak is the recipient of the 2025 Radoslav Putar Award. Vladimir Novak is a Zagreb-based artist whose practice investigates the limits of sculpture as a medium through the use of objects\, (day)light\, and sound installations\, with a particular focus on space\, media\, and affective intensities. Through iterative processes\, he seeks to dismantle established media boundaries by exploring the visible and the invisible\, engaging with concepts such as body–mass\, object–installation\, stasis–movement\, and light–shadow. His recent projects In Visible\, Calm\, and Day for a Day\, employ radically minimalist and subtle interventions that emphasize processuality and the entanglement of artworks with natural and urban rhythms\, their transformation across media\, and their physical and socio-ecological resonances. Operating at the threshold of perception\, within the ambivalence between malfunction and artistic act\, his work challenges the perceptions of time and attention\, questioning the boundary between aesthetic experience and banal everyday events.\n\nNick Tobier studied history\, sculpture and landscape architecture\, and has worked at The Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia\, The Philadelphia Museum of Art and Storefront for Art & Architecture in NYC\, and as a designer with the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation/ Bronx Division. Nick’s focus as artist-designer-educator is on the social lives of public places\, both in built structures and events\, from bus stops to kitchens and boulevards. His work is part of the 2025 Venice Biennial\, the 2024 Split Biennial\, and has been seen at the Smithsonian\, The Queens Museum\, NY\, The Mattress Factory\, Pittsburgh\, the Prague Quadrennial\, the London Festival of Games at Somerset House in London\, and upcoming projects at KRAK Center for Contemporary Art in Bihać\, Bosnia. Nick has received support for his work from the NEA \, The Graham Foundation for the Advanced Study of Visual Art and the Harpo Foundation\, and writes for the Trieste-based magazine Juliet on artists\, galleries\, and cultural centers in Bosnia\, Croatia\, and Serbia.

Building on tools from the theory of decision-making under uncertainty\, we analyze a class of axiomatically grounded optimality criteria which nests several existing misspecification-robust objectives. Within this class\, we introduce the constrained multiplier criterion\, which allows for flexible misspecification attitudes. We prove a local asymptotic minimax theorem for this criterion\, extending a classical efficiency bound to a limit experiment which incorporates both misspecification concerns and moment constraints. We characterize asymptotically optimal estimators as Bayes decision rules under a flat prior and an exponentially tilted likelihood that incorporates the moment constraints\, and show that feasible plug-in analogs are asymptotically optimal.

In this talk\, Susie S. Porter takes us from switchboards to union halls\, and into the streets as working women fought for better wages and against marriage bans\, pregnancy discrimination\, and sexual harassment.\n\nTelephone operators’ struggles to defend their bodily autonomy were historically contingent and constructed through the material and discursive conditions of class. Countervailing practices of class distinction shaped women’s capacity to speak and informed their activism. As languages of class circulated––by management\, organized labor\, working men\, and working women themselves––working and middle- class identities were made and unmade. The success of organized labor hung in the balance.\n\nSusie S. Porter\, Professor of History and Gender Studies at the University of Utah\, is the author of two award-winning books: Workingwomen in Mexico City: Public Discourses and Material Conditions\, 1879-1931 (University of Arizona Press\, 2003)\; and\, From Angel to Office Worker: Middle-Class Identity and Female Consciousness in Mexico\, 1890-1950 (University of Nebraska Press\, 2018). Spanish-language versions of both books were published by El Colegio de Michoacán Press.\n\nHer forthcoming book is titled: Señorita Telefonista: Sexual Harassment\, Gender Discrimination\, and Class Identities in Early Twentieth-Century Mexico City (University of Nebraska\, 2026)\n\nPorter is also co-editor and contributor to 3 edited volumes and a documents reader in Mexican history. Susie is a Member of the Mexican Academy of History (as Corresponsal Internacional). She has held residential fellowships at the Madrid Institute for Advanced Studies (2022-23) and L’Institut d’Études Avancées de Nantes\, France (2023-24).\n\nShe serves as a country conditions expertise for asylum cases\, was a co-founder of the Westside Leadership Institute (Spanish language version) and works as an organizer with the Salt Lake City Latinx community. She served as chair of the Gender Studies Division (2010-2020) and\, since 2021\, as director of the Center for Latin American Studies. For her work in the community\, Porter was designated Distinguished Professor in the Humanities at the University of Utah (2019).\n\nThis lecture is sponsored by the Aiton Lecture Committee.

He situates their displacement within the larger context of East Africa's colonial history\, as well as the policy consequences of the American-backed war on terror and war on drugs. Throughout\, Abu-maye's centering of Somali subjectivity underlines this community's critical and creative capacity to defy the mechanisms that seek to \"manage\" and ultimately control them.\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan Library\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies Studies\, Global Islamic Studies Center\, and the Islamophobia Working Group.

The project responds to documented challenges in doctoral education including unclear success criteria\, inconsistent mentoring\, and hidden cultural norms and seeks to generate actionable\, evidence-based pathways for systemic improvement. We designed and deployed a mixed-methods pilot survey to chemistry graduate students measuring six domains informed by prior graduate-education and equity scholarship: (1) graduate milestones\, (2) research competency\, (3) teaching competency\, (4) advisor support (academic and emotional)\, (5) peer and departmental culture\, and (6) academic and demographic background. This talk will center on the qualitative data which is founded on academic citizenship\, which is a set of behaviors\, responsibilities\, and relational practices through which members of an academic community contribute to its collective functioning\, integrity\, and well-being beyond their individual scholarly outputs. It includes activities such as mentoring\, service\, collaboration\, care work\, and stewardship that sustain learning environments\, support colleagues and students\, and advance the shared mission of the institution and discipline. Findings show that academic citizenship is unevenly distributed across student groups and is most strongly predicted by research competency and access to departmental resources. Advisor emotional support and advisor skill dynamics emerged as significant contributors to academic citizenship. Results informed department-level interventions\, including (1) a redesigned first-year experience course integrating research\, teaching\, communication\, and wellness\, and (2) a multidimensional mentoring model grounded in sociopolitical noticing and disciplinary metaphors (chemist\, family\, coach). The project demonstrates that departmental culture can be surfaced\, measured\, and intentionally reshaped to create conditions where graduate students thrive because of rather than in spite of our systems.

In many of these settings\, transport is limited by strong flow heterogeneities and the steady\, laminar flow imposed by geometric confinement (Re«1). Polymer additives have potential as a key engineering tool for modifying these flows to improve transport. However\, the flow behavior of these rheologically-complex fluids remains poorly understood in these disordered settings—in large part due to imaging limitations. \n\nWe address this gap by fabricating transparent 3D porous media and directly imaging the flow in situ. We find that polymer stretching can give rise to an elastic instability that generates turbulent-like fluctuations under conditions prohibitive for traditional turbulence. Combining microscopic flow measurements with theoretical modeling\, we demonstrate that viscous dissipation associated with this instability is responsible for an anomalous increase in macroscopic flow resistance\, resolving an over-50-year-old puzzle. We then show how these chaotic fluctuations can be harnessed to enhance pore-scale mixing of solutes by 3–6×\, and the rate of chemical reactions by an order of magnitude. This work demonstrates how couplings between complex geometries and complex fluid rheology can give rise to intriguing flow behaviors—providing new avenues to understand\, control\, and engineer transport in confined spaces.

The previous talk in Fall 2025\, we introduced the first local well-posedness result\, established by Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat in 1952 using the “wave gauge”. This talk considers alternative approaches when assuming asymptotic flatness. By evolving VEE with a “maximal time foliation”\, one can establish an elliptic-hyperbolic local well-posedness and an electric-magnetic type energy estimate. These are important ingredients in proof of global stability of Minkowski spacetime (Christodoulou–Klainerman\, 1993).

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\" UID:146980-21900154@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260327T120110 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260401T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260401T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Through a combination of panel discussions\, flash talks by faculty-student pairs\, and interactive workshops\, the event will create a space for students\, faculty\, alumni\, and community members to reflect on how movements for racial and social justice have shaped higher education and to envision new strategies for democratic engagement today!Each year\, SCOR is proud to host an annual social justice symposium. This event is a part of SCOR’s legacy and a testament to our commitment of fostering dialogue and awareness surrounding the academic\, social\, and cultural journeys of graduate students of color at the University of Michigan. While the symposium is thoughtfully designed with the needs and experiences of graduate students in focus\, we extend invitations to both undergraduate students and faculty\, recognizing that our experiences are not only unique to us. We understand it is important to garner a supportive community. We seek support from faculty who have navigated similar paths and from other students who resonate with the symposium themes. This is also an opportune time to connect with others who are contemplating their next steps after undergraduate or masters studies. Aligned with our mission\, SCOR welcomes everyone\, irrespective of identities\, religion\, culture or abilities to participate in the symposium\, showcasing the rich diversity and wealth of scholarly talent that Michigan graduate students have to offer. In pursuit of our objectives\, this year's symposium revolves around the theme \"Express Yourself—a vibrant celebration of self-expression.\" Our aim is to cultivate a safe and encouraging space for students to explore creative outlets and illuminate how their multifaceted experiences shape their research\, hobbies\, and other interests in the face of challenging realities.

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.

The Information Age Behind the Iron Curtain: Bulgarian Computers and The Society They Tried to Build DESCRIPTION:How did a small Balkan state become a Cold War power in the electronic field during its socialist period? During the years of late socialism\, Bulgaria developed a computer industry that commanded the export market of the Eastern Bloc. Users and states from the Inner German Border to Vladivostok\, and many states in the Global South\, were equipped with Bulgarian computers\, drives\, and tools. Developed as a prestige project by a communist party that sought a ‘golden goose’ industrial niche\, the industry spawned a far-spanning vision of socialist modernity that touched on all aspects of socialist Bulgaria: from political economy and planning\, to labor and gender\, to children\, literature\, and concepts of the human-machine hybrid that was the future. The talk\, based on the author’s first book\, will try to see what the information age looked like behind the Iron Curtain\, and push back against narratives of the failure of socialism to enter the information economy. It shows an Iron Curtain that is far more porous than expected\; an Eastern Bloc connected to the Global South through business dealings as well as development\; and the impact of such stories on the narrative of 1989 as a convenient end point for the socialist past.\n \n Victor Petrov is a historian of the modern Balkans\, with interests in the history of technology & science\, the Cold War\, utopian thinking and alternative knowledge communities. He is Associate Professor of History at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville. His first book\, Balkan Cyberia: Cold War Computing\, Bulgarian Modernization\, and the Information Age Behind the Iron Curtain came out with MIT Press in 2023. He is currently pursuing projects in the post-socialist explosion of supernatural phenomena in Bulgaria\; and histories of outer space\, especially of the 'space commons' approach of the socialist states' Interkosmos program.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

AI in Africa: A New Agenda for African Languages x AI: Everything\, Everywhere\, All At Once DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Professor Marivate will discuss the crucial role of community building in developing technologies for African languages in the age of AI. He will explore the unique challenges and opportunities in fostering collaboration across disciplines and communities\, and in building language technologies that not only perform well on benchmarks\, but also respect\, reflect\, and empower the cultures and peoples they represent.\n \n The talk will further examine the limitations of current evaluation practices-what we are able to measure\, what we routinely overlook\, and how nuances of language\, meaning\, and cultural context often fall outside standard metrics. Professor Marivate will argue for expanding how we think about evaluation in African language AI\, moving beyond narrow performance measures towards approaches that are participatory\, culturally grounded\, and community-informed.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

This paper analyzes the extent to which these differences reflect causal effects of marriage versus selection. We develop a dynamic Roy model that allows for selection into and out of marriage\, with cognitive skill evolving according to a dynamic latent factor model. A long panel of marriage decisions permits identification of unobserved heterogeneity jointly affecting both marriage and skill development. Model estimates indicate that marriage improves skill development. A decomposition analysis suggests that differences in the technology of skill formation between the married and single states explains 30% of the skill difference between children growing up in two-parent and one-parent households while income differences explain 16%.

This program culminated in the Veneziano amplitude which gave birth to string theory\, but was abandoned as an approach to the strong force after the identification of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) as the microscopic theory of hadron physics. Yet QCD at low energies remains largely unsolved. I will describe how modern bootstrap methods\, powered new theoretical insights and computational techniques\, allow us to revisit this classic program with unprecedented rigor. Consistency of pion scattering — with minimal assumptions about the lightest resonances — leads to the emergence of Regge trajectories from the bootstrap bounds. The bootstrap approach becomes particularly sharp in the limit of a large number of colors. The low-lying spectrum of the extremal solutions shows a tantalizing\, and still somewhat mysterious\, quantitative proximity to the real-world meson masses. I will discuss what we are learning from these results and outline open questions on the path toward a bootstrap solution of large N QCD.

In this talk\, we give an overview of some basic tools used in the study of 4-manifolds and use them to give an outline of the construction of exotic R4\, a smooth manifold which is homeomorphic to the standard R4 but not diffeomorphic.
