This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

In recent years\, we have witnessed remarkable advances in controlling individual photons and other excitations\, such as spin\, charge\, excitons\, and phonons\, in solid-state systems. While this progress has primarily been driven by quantum information science (QIS)\, its implications extend far beyond QIS. In this talk\, I will present two key examples. First\, I will review the field of topological photonics\, highlighting how optical nonlinearity can give rise to unique bosonic phenomena—without electronic counterparts—such as topological frequency combs. Next\, I will discuss how optical control techniques can introduce a radically new approach for preparing\, detecting\, and manipulating correlated electronic states. This includes new ways of inducing and enhancing magnetism\, superconductivity\, and topological phases in matter\, as well as the prospect of addressing some of the long-standing questions in the field.\n\nBio: Mohammad Hafezi is a Minta Martin Professor with a joint appointment in the Physics and Electrical and Computer Engineering Departments at the University of Maryland and a fellow of the Joint Quantum Institute.

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:\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA '23) and Erin McKenna (MFA '20)Phase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA '20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA '20)Phase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA '20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA '21)\nPhase 1 Curatorial Statement\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Amelia Burns (entry pillar)Curated by CYNK Studios: Erin McKenna (courtyard pillar)\nArtists Amelia Burns and Erin McKenna reimagine the Division Street pillars through digital collages rooted in memory\, landscape and shared environments. Burns arranges fragments of her own photographs into airy compositions where these pictorial remnants become enshrined by the artist’s vision of the sacred. McKenna draws from the language of quilting\, organizing her photos of mushrooms\, moss and lichen into vibrant geometric patterns which echo Ohio textile traditions. Both artists\, Midwestern women attentive to the nuances of place\, weave personal imagery into collective meaning. Together\, their works create spaces of reverence and connection.\nAmelia Burns: GODSPROMISESRISINGHIGHGODSPROMISESRISINGHIGH contains fragments of photographs I have made over years in various locations in the United States. Each fragment holds personal meaning for me. The exalted pieces of environments float together and create a visual smorgasbord of symbols\, denoting a capitalist world\, filled with tender moments and connections\, where all objects are made holy.\nErin McKenna: Mushroom TrailMushroom Trail reimagines the Ohio Star quilt block through a collage of photographs of mushrooms\, lichen\, and moss gathered during walks in my Appalachian forest home. I created small blocks of repeating patterns to build texture and color. Inspired by the Barn Quilt Trail\, the work honors Ohio’s yard art traditions. Like other local expressions\, from chainsaw-carved bears to the front porch goose\, it fosters a shared sense of pride of place\, and community.\nArtist Statements/Bios\nAmelia BurnsThrough my travels across nearly every U.S. state\, I document not only the natural world but also its entanglement with human influence. My work speaks to the loneliness\, humor\, beauty\, pain\, and joy that coexist within these spaces. The landscapes I create—whether photographic or collage-based—are imbued with a visceral connection to the physical environments I’ve passed through. They are a reprocessing of the cultural detritus that surrounds me\, transforming fragments into vignettes that explore both the darkness and resilience of humanity.\nAt its core\, my work explores the underworld of human experience\, grappling with the visceral tension between authenticity and artifice in contemporary Americana. It reflects the disgusting horror of capitalism\, the mysticism of my Irish Catholic upbringing\, and the profound solitude that fuels my process. The resulting images are landscapes of seeking\, filled with the pain\, glory\, and quiet resistance of life.\nAmelia Burns is a photographer\, collage artist\, curator and educator exploring the cultural and physical landscapes of the U.S.\, capturing the nuances of shared environments. She earned her BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in 2005 and later completed her MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2023. Website / Instagram\nErin McKenna Erin McKenna is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in sculpture. Her practice embraces humor\, playful misuse\, and celebration as strategies to dismantle stereotypes and complicate binaries of construction and embellishment. With a feminist lens\, she explores the space where necessity meets excess\, highlighting the subversive potential of both. Her sculptures often pair gritty building materials with tactile fabrics\, generating tension between utility and ornament. Growing up in a perpetually unfinished home—a place of sawdust\, chop saws\, and improvisation—instilled in her a respect for visible labor\, inventive problem-solving\, and imperfection. Her process follows personal rules:\nno hierarchy of materialssubvert expected usecomplicate binaries\, stereotypes and associationsmisuse\, misapplyallow for variable arrangementsrepeat\, reiterate\, reuseconsider the subversive possibilities of the excessive\, fantastic\, and necessaryalways let the labor be visible\nMcKenna earned her BFA from Columbus College of Art &\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &\; Design at the University of Michigan. She recently moved back to the forest she calls home in Southeastern Ohio\, where she serves as Exhibitions Director at The Dairy Barn Arts Center\, hunts for mushrooms with her toddler\, and makes quilts.

Dedicated to the fallen Ukrainian poet Maksym Kryvtsov\, the exhibit’s title is borrowed from one of his poems. Exploring the role of empathy and humanity in the times of crisis\, Ukrainian and American artists Katya Lisova (textiles)\, Matvii Vaisberg (prints)\, and Ira Bondarenko (ceramics) reflect on the power and limits of human agency in the face of overwhelming force. The value of humanity lies in its capacity to transcend adversity by embracing compassion and keeping empathy and human connection alive in the most oppressive darkness. The project examines this concept through the lens of Ukrainian artists and poets and emphasizes the role of ordinary people in building resilience and saving the country.\n\nThe exhibition\, which will be displayed in the University of Michigan’s Duderstadt Center Gallery from September 14-October 5\, 2025\, was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. The Ann Arbor Chapter of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA) also provided support for the project. \n \n Image: *Fly* by Katya Lisova\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

Rinaldi-Ramos DESCRIPTION:A reception with light refreshments will be held in the B10 lobby before each seminar from 1-1:30 p.m.\n\nABSTRACT:\nMagnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a new molecular imaging technology capable of unambiguous and quantitative tomographic imaging of the distribution of superparamagnetic nanoparticle tracers in vivo. While the term MPI is reminiscent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)\, the two rely on distinct physics. In MPI\, a tomographic image of the distribution of superparamagnetic nanoparticles is constructed by scanning a so-called field free region (FFR) through the domain of interest. Magnetic nanoparticles inside the FFR give rise to a signal due to their nonlinear dynamic magnetization response to an alternating magnetic field. Outside the FFR there is a quasi-static bias field strong enough to saturate the magnetic moments of the nanoparticles\, abrogating their response to the excitation field. At the field amplitudes and frequencies used in MPI there is no appreciable attenuation in signal strength due to tissue. Further\, while there are magnetic species in the body (e.g.\, ferritin)\, they do not contribute an appreciable signal for MPI\, allowing for unambiguous imaging of the distribution of one of the superparamagnetic nanoparticle tracers. This talk will explain the physics of MPI in relation to design of high sensitivity and resolution magnetic nanoparticle tracers\, as well as applications of MPI in tracking nanoparticles and cell therapies in the context of cancer\, traumatic brain injury\, and other conditions.\n\nBIO:\nCarlos M. Rinaldi-Ramos is a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and in the J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Florida. He is also an Affiliate Faculty of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and a member of the UF Health Cancer Center. Dr. Rinaldi-Ramos’s research spans synthesis and characterization of magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications and evaluation of nanoparticle transport and diffusion in biological fluids. Current efforts focus on developing tracers for magnetic particle imaging (MPI)\, a new biomedical imaging modality that allows for non-invasive\, unambiguous\, and quantitative imaging of the in vivo distribution of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle tracers.

We introduce market types---collections of potential equilibrium outcomes across values of an excluded instrumental variable---and use them to develop a new approach to analyzing identification. Through graphical examples\, we show how nonparametric\, economically-motivated assumptions---such as downward-sloping demand---provide empirical content about natural target parameters. We show that comparable linear IV estimators are systematically attenuated measures of demand\, a theoretical prediction confirmed in a well-known dataset. We then analyze random coefficient models with linear supply and demand curves that have heterogeneous slopes and develop a computationally tractable method for computing and estimating sharp bounds. We apply the method to estimate the welfare incidence of sales taxes in the United States.

Specifically\, nonlinear\, noisy\, constrained\, and nonconvex optimization problems arise in a plethora of science and engineering applications\, for example\, machine learning\, robotics\, logistics\, and computational physics. In this talk\, we discuss the use\, analysis\, and implementation of state-of-the-art adaptive optimization paradigms\, such as line search and trust region\, in the presence of noise. We introduce three distinct noise oracles that capture a broad range of practical scenarios and present corresponding convergence results. Numerical experiments are provided to highlight the robustness and efficiency of adaptive algorithms in challenging settings. Finally\, we briefly discuss a complementary project\, carried out in collaboration with the University of Michigan Men’s and Women’s soccer teams.

Designing vaccines\, immunomodulatory drugs\, and cell therapies against infections\, cancer\, inflammatory conditions\, and age-related disorders requires a detailed understanding of how immune cells form and activate in primary\, secondary\, and ectopic tertiary immune organs. Traditionally\, research on the immune system has been restricted to in vivo approaches\, which do not allow for the detailed control of intracellular and extracellular processes\, and to 2D in vitro models\, which lack physiological relevance. These models are being investigated to understand immune function and dysfunction at the cellular\, tissue\, and organ levels. In this talk\, I will discuss my laboratory’s effort in developing synthetic\, human ex vivo immune organoids to replicate the structure and function of immune tissues. I will discuss strategies to combine engineered materials and immune cells from individuals to generate antibody-secreting cells in a dish or as organ-on-chip against viral and bacterial infections and describe immunogenicity testing efforts. I will further describe the use of human immune organoids in oncology and drug development space\, and subsequently describe the integration of immune organoids with complex mucosal organ-on-chip technologies\, with applications in inflammation\, infection\, and oncology. Complementing this\, I will introduce nanoengineered wires functionalized with cationic polymers to program naive T cells without pre-activation\, a critical advancement for adoptive T-cell therapies. By delivering single or multiple microRNAs\, I will describe how nanowires modulate T-cell fitness\, influencing proliferation\, phenotypic differentiation\, and effector molecule secretion. These programmed T cells exhibit enhanced in vivo protection against intracellular pathogens\, with tailored differentiation into T cell subtypes.

But a rapid increase in data center energy needs is revealing problems with those premises. To meet this moment\, and to address future electrical-supply challenges\, we propose a partial shift to a new system\, in which major new electricity consumers can connect to the grid even where electrical supply will not always be sufficient\, can have their use curtailed by utilities\, and can use secondary markets to hedge against curtailment risk. We explore the potential for this new approach by using examples from natural gas management and water law in the western United States. In both fields\, a foundational assumption is that supply will sometimes fall short of demand\, and both fields therefore hold potential lessons for electricity-supply challenges.\n\nAlexandra Klass Biography:\nAlexandra B.

In 30-50% of the population\, material such as asteroids\, comets\, moons and even planets from their disrupted planetary systems can be identified by metal absorption lines detected in the white dwarf atmosphere. These stellar remnants thus offer the unique window through which to infer the bulk composition of exoplanetary material\, but this method depends upon accurate models of the white dwarf atmosphere. Most white dwarfs have surface convection zones\, and one key uncertainty here and throughout stellar evolution theory is in the treatment of convection\, in particular convective overshoot\, which provides enhanced mixing outside of the convection zone. I will present the first 3D radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of white dwarfs with passive scalar particles that provide a characterisation of the additional mixing caused by convective overshoot. As a test of these models\, I have recently confirmed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory that the canonical metal-polluted white dwarf\, G29–38\, is a source of soft X-rays. This discovery provides the first independent measurement of the accretion rate at a metal-polluted white dwarf\, and opens the opportunity for a new window through which to study these systems. I will present this result\, along with recent and ongoing X-ray observations which provide a further test of these models\, as well as recent population synthesis results aimed at constraining the mass distributions of the local population of white dwarfs and their evolved planetary systems.

Notably\, two classical linear models—the Bernoulli doubling map and the CAT map—exhibit double exponential mixing for analytic observables. Are linear maps the only ones with this property? In dimension one\, we provide a full classification for maps from the space of finite Blaschke products acting on the circle (as well as for free semigroup actions generated by a finite collection of such maps). In higher dimensions\, we identify a necessary condition for double exponential mixing and present several families of examples and non-examples. Key ideas of the proof involve the Koopman precomposition operator on spaces of hyperfunctions (elements of the dual space of analytic functions)\, which turns out to be non-self-adjoint\, compact\, and quasinilpotent\, with spectrum reduced to zero.\n\nThe talk is accessible to all\; no background knowledge is required.

He'll talk about his writing process and how the everyday choices we make and the systems we rely on contribute to the overwhelming problem of waste. \n\nEdward Humes is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and narrative nonfiction writer who spends months embedded in the lives of his subjects in order to investigate and research his incredible stories about the justice system\, science\, nature\, and sustainability. His seventeen books include *Door to Door: The Magnificent\, Maddening\, Mysterious World of Transportation*\, *Mississippi Mud*\, *No Matter How Loud I Shout: A Year in the Life of Juvenile Court*\, and *Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash*.\n\nIn *Garbology*\, the prequel to *Total Garbage*\, Humes focused on what we throw away – and how we are so much more “trashy” than we imagined. Humes’s message of reducing and reinventing our approach to what we roll to the curb each week resonated strongly with student and sustainability-minded audiences\, who selected Garbology as a “One Book” community read over 30 times\, including at colleges such as Georgia Institute of Technology\, California State University Northridge\, Rowan University\, University of Central Florida\, and such cities as Portland\, OR\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, Palos Verdes\, California\, and Atlanta\, GA.\n\nNow\, Humes returns with *Total Garbage* to tackle the wider world of waste: in which our fossil fuel power plants squander two-thirds of our energy\, our gasoline-powered cars waste 80 percent of our fuel\, and 40 percent of our food—and all the energy\, water\, chemicals and fertilizer used to produce it—goes to waste. From Georgia to Minnesota\, Maine to California\, Humes found the game-changers and ordinary people tackling this waste and the environmental catastrophes it drives—all while saving (and even making) money doing it.\n\nHumes is also a popular true crime writer. His bestseller\, *Mississippi Mud*\, a murder mystery set in a historic Gulf Coast city steeped in corruption\, is currently being developed as a series by Immersive Pictures. *Burned: A Story of Murder and the Crime That Wasn’t*\, is a gripping investigative narrative into a young mother’s sentencing for killing her three children in a house fire\, and the flawed\, so-called “forensic fire science” behind it. Humes’s investigative work in *Burned *helped lead to her release and took readers inside the world of the California Innocence Project that challenged the conviction. His latest in the genre\, *The Forever Witness*\, is about the disappearance and murder of a young couple\, a 32-year-old cold-case investigation\, and the emergence of a revolutionary new crime-fighting science\, genetic genealogy. It’s also being developed as a documentary streaming series.\n\nHumes received his Pulitzer Prize for his newspaper coverage of the military\, and a PEN Award for Nonfiction for *No Matter How Loud I Shout: A Year in the Life of Juvenile Court*. He has taught writing\, journalism\, and literary nonfiction at graduate and undergraduate levels\, and has written for *The New York Times*\, *The Los Angeles Times*\, *Sierra Magazine*\, and *Los Angeles Magazine*. A graduate of Hampshire College\, he lives in Southern California with his family\, two rescued greyhounds\, and a rescue collie.

To transform diverse natures into imperial wealth\, the court launched the relaciones geográficas\, questionnaires designed to impose informational order. Yet local informants proved unruly. They both learned the imperial vernacular and embedded their own agendas within responses\, destabilizing Spanish categories. Challenging simplistic binaries of success and failure\, this lecture reveals how attempts to govern nature sparked dialectics of authority and resistance\, drawing on insights from Knowing an Empire: Early Modern Chinese and Spanish Worlds in Dialogue (Lever\, 2025).\n\nMackenzie Cooley is a historian of nature’s entanglement with power. A scholar of early modern Italy\, Spain\, and the Spanish Empire\, her first book\, The Perfection of Nature (2022)\, reveals how Renaissance breeding shaped ideas of race\, human potential\, and dominion over animals. She co-edited the books \"Natural Things in Early Modern Worlds\" (2023) and \"Knowing an Empire: Early Modern Chinese and Spanish Worlds in Dialogue\" (2025). She leads Historical Pharmacopeias\, a digital humanities project mapping the evolution of medical knowledge across cultures. She is an associate professor at Hamilton College\, and a 2025 winner of the Dan David Prize.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

Light refreshments will be provided at 5:30 PM\, with the talk to begin at 6:00 PM. \n\nErica is a fourth-year PhD candidate in IPAMAA who studies wine\, pottery production and reuse\, and trade within the economy of the Roman world. This summer\, Erica participated in several field projects in Italy and Greece\, including Tulane University’s I.14 Project in Pompeii. Region I Insula (city block) 14 is located on the southeastern side of Pompeii\, just inside the Porta Nocera. Tulane’s I.14 Project aims to address questions surrounding domestic economic activity and infrastructure. As part of the team\, Erica analyzed some of the ceramic material excavated from the past two seasons\, including a series of vessels that were essential to the commercial activity that occurred within this space.\n\nLaurel Fricker is a PhD candidate in IPAMAA\, writing her dissertation on the experiences that children had growing up in ancient Greek houses. As a long-time team member of the Olynthos Project\, a field project centered on the classical city of Olynthos in northern Greece\, she has been tasked with publishing the loom weights from the excavations and field survey. This summer\, she visited the Archaeological Museum of Polygyros in Greece and participated in a study season at Olynthos to help move toward the publication of these artifacts.\n\nLauren Alberti is a graduate student in IPAMAA with interests in prehistoric cult practices in the Aegean. She has completed a fourth year assisting Professor Natalie Abell and her team on a project that explores the metallurgical traditions of Ayia Irini\, a Bronze Age settlement on the island of Kea in Greece. For this talk\, Lauren will highlight how the team looks for evidence of metallurgy as well as what the team accomplished this past season.\n\nFAST (Field Archaeology Series on Thursday) Lectures are free and open to the public. This event will take place in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall.\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167.

A two-time GRAMMY Award-winning singer and multi-instrumentalist\, MacArthur “Genius” grant recipient\, Pulitzer Prize winner\, and composer of opera\, ballet\, and film\, Giddens has centered her work around the mission of lifting up people whose contributions to American musical history have previously been overlooked or erased\, and advocating for a more accurate understanding of the country’s musical origins through art.\n\nA founding member of the landmark Black string band Carolina Chocolate Drops\, and the all-female banjo supergroup\, Our Native Daughters\, Giddens is as much a curator as a creator. She is the current Artistic Director of the Yo-Yo Ma-founded Silkroad Ensemble\, hosts a TV show on PBS\, My Music with Rhiannon Giddens\, and has hosted two podcasts (Aria Code from New York City’s NPR affiliate station WQXR\, which ran for three seasons\, and American Railroad from Silkroad). Giddens has published two children's books and written and performed music for the soundtrack of Red Dead Redemption II\, one of the best-selling video games of all time.

Medicine\, in particular\, has significant upside potential with AI—with hospitals closing\, a shortage of physicians and other medical professionals\, and an instrinsically difficult domain\, AI has a unique opportunity to upskill practice\, bringing better care and better training to everyone. This talk will explore the problem\, potential value\, and early methods in upskilling medical practitioners along two axes. First\, I will describe how visual AI methods are already impacting the cardiothoracic surgical domain via technical and non-technical assessment for more objective training and review. Second\, I will describe how interactive\, physically-grounded AI guidance can upskill medical practitioners and bring state of the art care into rural settings\, which are among the most challenging settings for healthcare delivery. Ultimately\, this talk will provide concrete evidence of the potential AI has in upskilling medical practice.\n\nMeet Jason Corso:\nDr. Jason Corso is Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Robotics at the University of Michigan and Co-Founder / CSO of the AI startup Voxel51.

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students 'develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.' Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now? At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \nUntil now\, the classroom studios and review rooms have been the only place to catch a glimpse of the art and design work resulting from this pivotal course. Last year\, Associate Dean for Academic Programs Rebecca Strzelec proposed something new: an exhibition installed throughout the Art &\; Architecture Building during the summer that would celebrate Second Year Studio work and help to welcome the community back in the Fall. This inaugural 2025 Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases our rising third-years and transfer students\, and invites first-years and other newcomers to explore both the building\, and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 44 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \nThe pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path—experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\"\n- Sally Clegg\, Lecturer and Student Exhibitions Coordinator\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n\nRobin Beaney\nAdi Behar\nDavid Byun\nZoë Corley\nChloe Dennis\nViktoriya Finyak\nMaria Elena García-Murguía\nElisa Gasser\nOlivia Glynn\nRoe Halbert\nNadav Havilio\nDee Holmes\nRuby Hough\nUrvi Joshi\nEunice Kim\nHannah Kryzhan\nBen Levitsky\nJoyce Liu\nKatelyn Ma\nAlexandria Mainor\nErin Malone\nSummer Mansi\nCheyenne Moore\nElla Moxon\nShafiq Muqit\nAlex Nguyen\nAnna Noh\nLeanna Mokihana Paik\nEva Park\nMichelle Peng\nEliana Pettigrew\nZainab Rahmani\nOlivia Reed\nSky Roberts\nZachary Sebestyen\nOliver Lee St Cyr\nSophie Stillwagon\nVeronica Weinberg\nCaitlin Weingarden\nNala Arielle White\nAriel Williams\nSilas Williams\nKatherine Xu\nJoy Yang\n UID:137111-21879689@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137111 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250904T104107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250926T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250926T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints. \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

Free and open to the public.\n\nGUEST ARTIST BIO\n\nPianist SVETOZAR IVANOV has made numerous appearances as recitalist and orchestra soloist worldwide. Numerous publications have praised his recent solo CD’s\; the album *Naked Tango* was called “superbly original\, quite moving\, personal and musically absorbing” while his CD *Vers la flamme* was celebrated for performances which were “played with aplomb\, panache and complete conviction” and interpretation “filled with sensual longing\, anguished yearning\, anxious dread and provocative energy”. Regarding his album *Echo* one reviewer wrote: “Ivanov’s most distinctive gift as a pianist is his ability to draw us inward\, which imparts the feeling that we’re approaching a mystery”. *Dream Images* was hailed for “performances of purified beauty that can leave you breathless” and his most recent album *Intermissions* was praised for its “combination of maturity\, deeply felt expression\, and dignity.”\n\nRecent performance venues include Carnegie\, Merkin\, and Steinway Halls in New York City\, Salle Gaveau in Paris\, Splendor in Amsterdam\, Guildhall\, Royal College\, and Goldsmith in London\, Mozarteum in Salzburg\, Razumovsky Salon in Vienna\, Salon Chritophori in Berlin\, RNCM in Manchester\, Royal Academy of Music in Denmark\, RCS in Prague\, as well as numerous concert series in the US. Recent festival appearances include “Pianomaster”\, “PianoEchos”\, “Terre d’Arezzo”\, “Autunno Musicale”\, and “Classicariano” in Italy\, “Krakow Piano Festival” in Poland\, “Música de Besalú” in Spain\, “Pianotune” in Belgium\, “Seiler” in Greece\, “Walled City” in Northern Ireland\, “Salon des Arts” and “Sofia Music Weeks” in Bulgaria\, “Chautauqua” in New York\, “Killington” in Vermont\, and “Fox River” in Wisconsin.\n\nIvanov is especially recognized for his creative work designing unusual concert formats combining music with other art forms (documentary footage\, art films\, animation\, poetry\, short stories\, live dance improvisation\, paintings\, lighting design\, live streaming). His DVD Perpetual Tango explores the synthesis between music\, movement\, multimedia\, and was released by Naxos in 2018. His latest video projects include *Music of Shadows* and the *Poetry Series* - a poetry inspired collection of twelve short films that was described by *Fanfare Magazine* as \"heart-wrenching\".\n\nSvetozar Ivanov is Professor of Piano at University of South Florida\, serves as Artist Faculty at Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival in Vermont\, Brancaleoni Music Festival in Italy\, Prague Piano Festival\, Walled City Music Festival in Northern Ireland\, and is the Artistic Director of the Steinway Piano Series in Florida.

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:\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA '23) and Erin McKenna (MFA '20)Phase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA '20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA '20)Phase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA '20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA '21)\nPhase 1 Curatorial Statement\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Amelia Burns (entry pillar)Curated by CYNK Studios: Erin McKenna (courtyard pillar)\nArtists Amelia Burns and Erin McKenna reimagine the Division Street pillars through digital collages rooted in memory\, landscape and shared environments. Burns arranges fragments of her own photographs into airy compositions where these pictorial remnants become enshrined by the artist’s vision of the sacred. McKenna draws from the language of quilting\, organizing her photos of mushrooms\, moss and lichen into vibrant geometric patterns which echo Ohio textile traditions. Both artists\, Midwestern women attentive to the nuances of place\, weave personal imagery into collective meaning. Together\, their works create spaces of reverence and connection.\nAmelia Burns: GODSPROMISESRISINGHIGHGODSPROMISESRISINGHIGH contains fragments of photographs I have made over years in various locations in the United States. Each fragment holds personal meaning for me. The exalted pieces of environments float together and create a visual smorgasbord of symbols\, denoting a capitalist world\, filled with tender moments and connections\, where all objects are made holy.\nErin McKenna: Mushroom TrailMushroom Trail reimagines the Ohio Star quilt block through a collage of photographs of mushrooms\, lichen\, and moss gathered during walks in my Appalachian forest home. I created small blocks of repeating patterns to build texture and color. Inspired by the Barn Quilt Trail\, the work honors Ohio’s yard art traditions. Like other local expressions\, from chainsaw-carved bears to the front porch goose\, it fosters a shared sense of pride of place\, and community.\nArtist Statements/Bios\nAmelia BurnsThrough my travels across nearly every U.S. state\, I document not only the natural world but also its entanglement with human influence. My work speaks to the loneliness\, humor\, beauty\, pain\, and joy that coexist within these spaces. The landscapes I create—whether photographic or collage-based—are imbued with a visceral connection to the physical environments I’ve passed through. They are a reprocessing of the cultural detritus that surrounds me\, transforming fragments into vignettes that explore both the darkness and resilience of humanity.\nAt its core\, my work explores the underworld of human experience\, grappling with the visceral tension between authenticity and artifice in contemporary Americana. It reflects the disgusting horror of capitalism\, the mysticism of my Irish Catholic upbringing\, and the profound solitude that fuels my process. The resulting images are landscapes of seeking\, filled with the pain\, glory\, and quiet resistance of life.\nAmelia Burns is a photographer\, collage artist\, curator and educator exploring the cultural and physical landscapes of the U.S.\, capturing the nuances of shared environments. She earned her BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in 2005 and later completed her MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2023. Website / Instagram\nErin McKenna Erin McKenna is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in sculpture. Her practice embraces humor\, playful misuse\, and celebration as strategies to dismantle stereotypes and complicate binaries of construction and embellishment. With a feminist lens\, she explores the space where necessity meets excess\, highlighting the subversive potential of both. Her sculptures often pair gritty building materials with tactile fabrics\, generating tension between utility and ornament. Growing up in a perpetually unfinished home—a place of sawdust\, chop saws\, and improvisation—instilled in her a respect for visible labor\, inventive problem-solving\, and imperfection. Her process follows personal rules:\nno hierarchy of materialssubvert expected usecomplicate binaries\, stereotypes and associationsmisuse\, misapplyallow for variable arrangementsrepeat\, reiterate\, reuseconsider the subversive possibilities of the excessive\, fantastic\, and necessaryalways let the labor be visible\nMcKenna earned her BFA from Columbus College of Art &\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &\; Design at the University of Michigan. She recently moved back to the forest she calls home in Southeastern Ohio\, where she serves as Exhibitions Director at The Dairy Barn Arts Center\, hunts for mushrooms with her toddler\, and makes quilts.

Dedicated to the fallen Ukrainian poet Maksym Kryvtsov\, the exhibit’s title is borrowed from one of his poems. Exploring the role of empathy and humanity in the times of crisis\, Ukrainian and American artists Katya Lisova (textiles)\, Matvii Vaisberg (prints)\, and Ira Bondarenko (ceramics) reflect on the power and limits of human agency in the face of overwhelming force. The value of humanity lies in its capacity to transcend adversity by embracing compassion and keeping empathy and human connection alive in the most oppressive darkness. The project examines this concept through the lens of Ukrainian artists and poets and emphasizes the role of ordinary people in building resilience and saving the country.\n\nThe exhibition\, which will be displayed in the University of Michigan’s Duderstadt Center Gallery from September 14-October 5\, 2025\, was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. The Ann Arbor Chapter of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA) also provided support for the project. \n \n Image: *Fly* by Katya Lisova\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

This class of misfolding involves structural changes in geometric motifs called non-covalent lasso entanglements\, which are found in 70% of the native structures of globular proteins. In this talk\, I will synthesize six lines of evidence: (1) proteome-wide and atomistic simulations establish the prevalence and physical plausibility of self-entanglement misfolding\; (2) translation-speed changes from synonymous mutations re-partition folding trajectories into slowly interconverting\, near-native entangled ensembles with reduced catalytic efficiency\; (3) distributions of entangled microstates rationalize stretched-exponential refolding kinetics\; (4) native-like surfaces coupled to these topological barriers explain how some misfolded states bypass chaperones\; and (5) limited proteolysis and cross-linking mass spectrometry provide proteome-scale signals of these states in E. coli. Finally\, I will present unpublished results showing that these misfolded states are associated with increased nascent protein degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in human cells\, with structural changes in proteins that occur during yeast mother cell aging\, and with a higher likelihood of harboring pathogenic mutations in human disease. Taken together\, simulations and experiments are converging on a unified picture in which entanglement misfolding is common\, biologically consequential\, and measurable.\n\n1.

This talk explores the ongoing journey of AI adoption\, focusing on how organizations can leverage AI not just as a tool\, but as a strategic capability. We’ll trace the shift from reactive systems to generative and agent-based AI\, and examine how these technologies are already embedded in daily life – from content creation to decision automation.\n\nReal transformation\, however\, requires more than new technology – it calls for a cultural shift. We’ll highlight how successful AI integration depends on three pillars: people\, process\, and technology. This means building AI literacy across roles\, empowering teams with effective tools\, and establishing strong governance frameworks. We’ll also show how “rapid wins” can create momentum\, challenge misconceptions\, and cultivate internal champions who drive sustainable change. Just as importantly\, we’ll explore how AI amplifies rather than replaces human strengths\, opening the door to new forms of value and innovation at scale.\n\nParticipants will gain practical insights into leading with an AI-first mindset\, navigating the challenges of change management\, and developing strategies that are both scalable and sustainable. This session will be peppered with real examples from various industries and use cases.\n---\nAbout the speaker: Barak Turovsky brings over 30 years of experience leading cross-functional teams to build AI (Generative AI/LLMs)\, Cloud\, and Enterprise products. He has deep expertise in leveraging customer and market insights to apply AI as a disruptive competitive advantage. Barak advises Boards\, executive teams\, and leading VC firms across industries\, helping drive large-scale organizational transformation for the AI era.\n\nBarak currently serves as Chief AI Officer at General Motors and Operating Advisor at Bessemer Venture Partners.

Recognizing agents’ heterogeneity in converting inputs into outputs\, the designer devises a test to maximize the expected total output. Unlike the existing literature\, we consider a setting where the designer can choose the test variable\, i.e.\, whether to test inputs\, outputs\, or a combination of the two. Although both the market and the designer care about outputs only\, we find that tests based exclusively on inputs are most effective at incentivizing output production if the designer can coordinate market beliefs and agents’ behavior on her preferred equilibrium. However\, such pure input tests are prone to adverse equilibria\, supported by pessimistic market beliefs about the types of agents passing the test. If the designer is concerned about the worst equilibrium outcome\, input tests are suboptimal. Pure output tests are not optimal either. Indeed\, while robust to adverse equilibrium selection\, they fail to motivate high-productivity agents adequately. The reason is that high-productivity agents can reach the output threshold with relatively low input investment\, leading to “free-riding on talent.”\nWe derive the optimal pass/fail test designed to incentivize total output production robustlyand demonstrate its straightforward implementation through three simple components: two output thresholds (one high and one low) and one input threshold. Agents achieve a passing grade exclusively when their input-output combination exceeds at least two of these three thresholds. In an extension\, we show how the main insights carry over to more general multi-threshold tests. Using tests based on inputs alone is optimal if the designer can coordinate beliefs. However\, under adversarial equilibrium selection\, the designer can improve by using a combination of input and output components.

Mathematically\, this is posed as the minimization of the Griffith energy that penalizes both bulk (elastic) and surface (crack) contributions. The goal of this talk is to understand the existence and structure of minimizers of this energy. We will discuss existence of strong solutions\, which have concentrated cracks that cannot \"pulverize\" the material. Further\, in dimension 2\, we dramatically improve our understanding of the minimal cracks: We show that the crack is given by a regular surface outside of a singular set of points with dimension strictly less than 1.\n\nContact: Ian Tobasco UID:135808-21877291@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/135808 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251011T123213 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250926T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250926T163000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:BBUS/UCC Clothes Closet DESCRIPTION:Visit the University Career Center's Clothes Closet with the Black Business Undergraduate Society @umich_bbus!We welcome all students\, whether you're preparing for the upcoming interviews or working on building your professional wardrobe for a job or internship\, looking and feeling your best is important!Come to the University Career Center's Clothes Closet to take home business professional and business casual clothing for free!

This talk challenges that assumption by examining non-alphabetic traditions (ideographic and pictographic signs and texts) historically and today across Indigenous communities in Siberia and the Arctic\, revealing alternative literacies.\n\nThe Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan is proud to launch a new lecture series spotlighting the rich multicultural and multilingual traditions of the regions we study and teach.\n\nThe series challenges the field’s longstanding Slavic-centric focus by highlighting historically understudied communities that\, by default—as seen in the very term “Slavic studies” as a common synonym for Eastern European regional studies—have too often been overlooked or excluded. Distinguished scholars will present on these cultures’ histories\, languages\, and artistic contributions.\n\nFor online (Zoom) attendance\, please register here: https://myumi.ch/E82N5 UID:139831-21886102@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/139831 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Crees,Discussion,eastern europe,Language,Slavic,Talk LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - 3308 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250926T181531 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250926T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250922T130000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Men's Swimming & Diving vs TEAM BE BETTER\; Invitational DESCRIPTION:Men's Swimming & Diving vs TEAM BE BETTER\; Invitational UID:139691-21885909@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/139691 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250916T110917 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250926T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250926T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Promotion permutations and related constructions (Combinatorics Seminar) DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a talk of S. Hopkins\, we (Gaetz–Pechenik–Pfannerer–Striker–Swanson) introduced the notion of promotion permutations. Given a rectangular standard Young tableau T with r rows\, this is a tuple of r−1 permutations that records its orbit structure of Schützenberger promotion. For r=4\, these objects played a key role in our construction of the first rotation-invariant web bases for the SL4 invariant spaces.\n\nIn this talk\, however\, I will focus on different directions\, highlighting some of the combinatorial properties of promotion permutations and applications of related constructions. For example\, in the situation where T is obtained by stacking two rectangular tableaux P and Q\, one recovers the Robinson–Schensted correspondence.\n\nIn Type C\, a related construction yields an alternative description of Sundaram’s bijection between the set of r-symplectic oscillating tableaux of empty shape and the set of (r+1)-noncrossing perfect matchings.\n\nIn Type B\, similar ideas allow us to prove a cyclic sieving phenomenon for the action of promotion on staircase plane partitions of height two\, using the bush basis of the degree-two part of the coordinate ring of the space of electrical networks\, due to Gao–Lam–Xu.\n\nThis talk is based on joint work with various subsets of: Gaetz\, Hopkins\, Kim\, Pappe\, Pechenik\, Rubey\, Schilling\, Simone\, Striker\, Swanson\, and Westbury.

This pattern has emerged from the robust fossil record documenting these transitions in non-mammalian synapsids. Along this transitionary series\, however\, an emerging dichotomy between 'specialized' and 'derived' mammalian features and 'simple' and 'ancestral' reptilian features has prevailed. As a result\, we tend to insinuate complexity and specialization as an inherently mammalian feature which negates the diversity of features and complexity found in other vertebrate groups\, especially reptiles. Using histological details of the dentition\, my research in non-mammalian synapsids dismantles this dichotomy and suggests alternative hypotheses than just step-wise gradualism alone as potential drivers in the acquisition of 'mammalress'.

At the heart of this controversy is a long-standing accusation: that Aurangzeb was a violent zealot who forcibly converted large numbers of Hindus to Islam. This lecture reconsiders that claim by drawing on the *Akhbarat*—a rich set of imperial newsletters—and places the question of conversion within the broader context of Mughal political and religious life. How have historians approached conversion in the Mughal Empire? Why were the Mughals\, including Aurangzeb\, largely uninterested in conversion? And how can we think about the motives\, meanings\, and limits of conversion at the Mughal court? The lecture concludes with the story of Hidayatkesh Khan\, a convert to Islam who rose to become Aurangzeb’s private secretary\, revealing both the opportunities and constraints that conversion could entail under Mughal rule.\n \n Munis D. Faruqui is a historian in the Department of South & Southeast Asian Studies at UC Berkeley. His focus is on the Muslim experience in South Asia\, especially during the Mughal period. His books include *Princes of the Mughal Empire\, 1504–1719* (Cambridge University Press\, 2012)\, *Expanding Frontiers in South Asian and World History*\, co-edited with Richard Eaton\, David Gilmartin\, and Sunil Kumar (Cambridge University Press\, 2013)\, and *Religious Interactions in Mughal India*\, co-edited with Vasudha Dalmia (Oxford University Press\, 2014). He has recently completed a book (forthcoming with Cambridge University Press) focused on the life and reign of Emperor Aurangzeb ʿAlamgir (1618–1707) and Mughal Empire in the latter half of the seventeenth and first decades of the eighteenth century.\n \n The Center for South Asian Studies Fall 2025 beginning-of-school year reception will follow after the lecture in the same venue.\n\n The recording of this lecture will not be uploaded to YouTube. Please attend either in person or via Zoom in real time.\n \n The lecture will end at 5:30 PM\, to be followed by the reception\, which will end by 7:00 PM.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at tinagrif@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Their dissertation\, Pronouns Raising and Emerging\, is a sociosyntactic analysis of a change in progress around the specific use of singular they. Their recent work focuses on nonbinary pronouns and other sociolinguistic approaches to morphosyntax. They are currently an assistant professor of Linguistics at Swarthmore College\, where they lead the Socially Contextualized Syntax (SoCS) Lab. Their upcoming book\, How to Nonbinary a Language (OUP\, 2028) explores the diverse linguistic strategies employed by nonbinary people around the world.\n\nTitle: How to Nonbinary a Language\n\nAbstract: How do nonbinary people use the morphosyntactic and lexical resources across the world's languages to craft a nonbinary linguistic gender presentation? I identify four major strategies: semantic shift\; analogical extension\; compounds / blending\; and pragmatic strategies. Examples from English\, German\, Russian\, Spanish\, Czech\, Hebrew\, ASL\, French\, Mandarin\, and more show how nonbinary people use and combine these strategies.

With the family estate entailed away to their closest male cousin\, their only hope to advance in life is to find a rich and single man -- and one has just arrived in the form of the very handsome and very well-off Charles Bingley. The kindhearted and beautiful Jane seems poised to make a match\, but must contend with her overly zealous mother\, his snobbish sister\, and a slippery social ladder. And when Bingley's taciturn friend Fitzwilliam Darcy shows an interest in the opinionated and spirited Elizabeth\, the situation becomes more complicated than either of them expect.

Written in memory of the Italian poet and novelist Alessandro Manzoni\, it is a profoundly moving reflection that is simultaneously intimate and epic.\n\nThis performance celebrates UMS’s ongoing relationship with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra\, UMS Choral Union\, and DSO music director Jader Bignamini. The concert will only be performed in Ann Arbor and brings together a stellar international cast of soloists: South African soprano Vuvu Mpofu\, American mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke\, Mexican American tenor René Barbera\, and Chinese bass-baritone Shenyang.

Infusing humor\, wit\, and poignant storytelling\, his shows are a space where audience members feel like old friends. Whether he's headlining solo or sharing the stage with longtime collaborators\, Craigie’s ability to make his crowd laugh\, reflect\, and connect is second to none. As he prepares to release Greatest Hits... Just Kidding... Live - No Hits\, his latest live album captures the warmth and spontaneity of these memorable nights.\n\nAt this point\, there have been quite a few good shows in the rearview… \n\nAs a tried-and-true performer\, he has regularly sold out solo tours in addition to hitting the road with the likes of Langhorne Slim\, Brett Dennen\, Mason Jennings\, Bella White and Jack Johnson. He has picked up fans with sets at Newport Folk Festival\, Pickathon\, Edmonton Folk Festival\, and High Sierra Music Festival. Including numerous European tours and his first Australian tour in spring of 2024 Moreover\, his annual river trip on the Tuolumne River—just outside of Yosemite in California—has remained a hit with his audience\, hosting one sellout after another. Giving back as much as possible\, he notably launched the #KeepItWarm Tour during the holidays. By donating $1 from every ticket sale\, this headline run has raised money for regional non-profits with the goal of fighting food insecurity. An avowed Beatles acolyte\, he has performed acoustic renditions of the albums Abbey Road and Let It Be live in front of packed crowds and partnered with Record Store Day for limited-edition vinyl releases of those concerts. \n\nSimultaneously\, his catalog has continued to reel in tens of millions of streams fueled by favorites such as “I Am California\,” “Highway Blood\,” “Don’t Ask\,” and “Microdose.” Maintaining a prolific pace\, 2024’s Pagan Church saw him join forces with TK & The Holy Know-Nothings. Among many highlights\, it logged six weeks at #1 on the Americana Radio Albums Chart. Inciting critical applause\, Pop Matters raved\, “All of Craigie’s songs are made of something truly ineffable\,” and American Highways assured\, “Along with excellent musicianship across the album\, there are genuinely pretty moments on ‘Pagan Church.’” Meanwhile\, he joined forces with Langhorne Slim for a duet song “Out On The Road.” \n\nTo him\, the live albums seek to achieve a sound where the listener will feel like they’re in the venue\, sitting and experiencing the show with the rest of the crowd.
