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

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

SUMMARY:Community Service:Safe Medication and Sharps Disposal Event
DESCRIPTION:U-M College of Pharmacy Community Health and Engagement\nFrom hosting flu vaccine clinics to administering safe medication disposal events\, our students actively participate in community service.\n\nEvent Information\nIn partnership with EHS and DPSS\, the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy APhA-ASP and Phi Delta Chi (PDC) student organizations are co-hosting the College’s annual Safe Medication and Sharps Disposal event on Tuesday\, April 7\, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Ingalls Mall. Community members are encouraged to bring unused or expired medications and used sharps (needles\, syringes\, and lancets) for safe\, responsible disposal.\n\nParticipants may either drive up or walk up to the drop-off location: Ingalls Mall\, 881 N University St (North Washington St across from Rackham).\n\nParticipation and Preparing for Drop-Off\nThis event is free and open to the public\, and there is no limit to the amount of medications or sharps that community members may bring for disposal. Medications do not need to be in their original bottles to be accepted. Pill bottles may be brought with medications inside\, and student volunteers will remove personal information and recycle bottles whenever possible.\n\nPlease refer to the event flyer on this page for detailed information about accepted items and sharps preparation guidelines.\n\nAdditional Information\nThe College of Pharmacy typically hosts Safe Medication and Sharps Disposal events twice each year\, generally on the first Tuesday of April and October. Because the event is organized and staffed by student volunteers\, scheduling may vary slightly from year to year. Unused medications cannot be donated for reuse and must be safely disposed of through these events or approved disposal locations.\n\nIf you are unable to attend\, additional medication and sharps disposal sites throughout Washtenaw County can be found through the Washtenaw County Water Resources medication disposal network\, which lists permanent disposal locations available to the community.\n\n \n\n150 Acts of Service\nIn celebration of the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy’s 150th Anniversary\, 150 Acts of Service is a Community Health and Engagement (CHE) campaign dedicated to strengthening our communities through meaningful\, hands-on service.

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Great Lakes Seminar Series: Amanda Ackiss
DESCRIPTION:About the presentation: \nAt the end of the Pleistocene\, many salmonid fishes in the subfamily Coregoninae rapidly diversified in newly available freshwater habitats across the northern hemisphere. In terms of evolutionary time\, these species flocks are incredibly young\, and many instances of diversification appear to have occurred in sympatry rather than allopatry\, leading to incomplete lineage sorting. The difficulty disentangling species relationships in this subfamily has been termed the ‘coregonine problem’ and has severely limited the ability of scientists and managers to draw robust conclusions regarding best practices for their conservation and restoration. This is particularly vital in the Laurentian Great Lakes\, where overfishing\, habitat degradation\, and the introduction of invasive species in the 20th century led to precipitous declines in the largest documented radiation of coregonines in North America\, the Coregonus artedi species complex. Many of these impacts have been mitigated in recent decades\, and interest in restoring lost populations of these important prey fishes is growing\, calling for a better understanding of relationships between members of this species complex. In this talk\, I will discuss how we are leveraging new genomic tools to elucidate historic and contemporary differentiation and to explore the mechanisms of divergence in the Great Lakes C. artedi species complex in support of on-going conservation and restoration efforts.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nAmanda Ackiss is a Fish Biologist at the US Geological Survey’s Great Lakes Science Center in Ann Arbor\, MI. She earned her B.A. in Media Studies at the University of Virginia before pivoting back to the field of science and earning her Ph.D. in Ecological Sciences at Old Dominion University. During her Ph.D. she gained expertise in molecular ecology\, genomics\, and bioinformatics studying the diversity of fishes in the Coral Triangle region of southeast Asia before accepting a postdoctoral research position at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point that introduced her to the cisco species complex of the Great Lakes. Amanda’s lab at the USGS Great Lakes Science Center now focuses on applied genomics at the interface of speciation and spatial ecology to support bi-national coregonine conservation and restoration efforts.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:In-person Arabic Placement test_April 7\, 2026 (11:00am-2:00pm)
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Arabic Placement TestAbout the testThe test is approximately three hours in length\, and it is composed of three portions:a. The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: a. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.b. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.\nWhere can I view my results?a. Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.b. You will not be notified of your score automatically. c. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * Students who took or are currently enrolled in an Arabic course are not eligible to take the Arabic placement test. They should register for the next course level.* The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.\nUM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan\, Syria\, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of formal Arabic (fuSHa). \nIf you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Scalable quantum and classical photonics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThere is now a broad agreement that photonics is essential for reducing energy consumption of AI hardware through optical interconnects\, but quantum technologies also need photonics for scaling. This is true even for “non-photonic” quantum systems based on superconductors\, or trapped atoms and ions in vacuum. For example\, new types of spatial light modulators and switches are needed to trap and control atoms and ions\, microwave to optical quantum transducers are needed for networking superconducting processors\, chip-scale laser systems are required for controlling atoms or spin qubits in solids\, and very high efficiency integrated photonics is needed for quantum networks\, sensors\, and chip-based semiconductor quantum systems. Unfortunately\, the desired level of performance and some of the functionalities are not available even in today’s best integrated photonics.   We show how this can be addressed by photonics inverse design combined with emerging materials\, new nanofabrication and heterogenous integration approaches. Specific examples include development of miniaturized titanium:sapphire lasers and amplifiers on chip\, quantum network nodes in diamond\, and a quantum simulator with silicon carbide color centers. Classical photonic technologies that will be discussed  include fast\, compact and error-free  chip-scale optical interconnects\, as well as CMOS compatible laser isolators and frequency stabilizers. \nBio: \nJelena Vuckovic (PhD Caltech 2002) is the Jensen Huang Professor of Global Leadership\, Professor of Electrical Engineering and\, by courtesy\, of Applied Physics at Stanford.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Resource Allocation\, Technology Adoption\, and Productivity: A Quantitative Analysis with Panel Farm-Level Data (with Duc Nguyen)
DESCRIPTION:We examine how resource allocation across production units shapes technology adoption and productivity growth\, combining a unique panel dataset of the universe of Canadian farms spanning 1986 to 2006 with a quantitative model of heterogeneous producers. The period features the advent and rapid di!usion of a major new seeding technique\, zero tillage\, whose use expanded from zero percent of cultivated land in 1986 to 60 percent by 2006. We document substantial technology adoption\, land consolidation\, and productivity growth\, facilitated by an economic environment characterized by relatively high allocative e”ciency\, whereby more productive farms operate at a larger scale. Empirically\, we find that adopting zero-tillage raises farm-level productivity substantially. Through quantitative analysis\, we estimate that zero-tillage adoption accounts for roughly 30 percent of the near doubling of agricultural productivity over the period and 45–70 percent of the observed structural transformation. We show that high allocative e”ciency was crucial for the widespread adoption of technology\, which would have nearly disappeared with correlated distortions commonly documented in developing countries. We also show that technological progress can be a powerful driver of catch-up growth in developing economies with low correlated distortions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Yuan Architecture: Where Are the Mongols?
DESCRIPTION:In-Person Talk Only\n\nYuan (1267-1368) not only is the period of Chinese history when all of China was ruled by a non-Chinese dynasty\, it is also a period when China was part of a much larger empire. At its zenith\, the Mongol empire spanned from Korea in the East to Eastern Europe in the West. It is thus a period when non-Chinese building traditions should have entered China. This talk explores that question.\n   \n   Nancy S. Steinhardt is professor of East Asian art and curator of Chinese art at the University of Pennsylvania. She has broad research interests in the art and architecture of China and China’s border regions\, particularly problems that result from the interaction between Chinese art and that of peoples to the North\, Northeast\, and Northwest. Her most recent book\, *Yuan: Chinese Architecture in a Mongol Empire* won the 2025 Booklaunch Award for the best book in architectural history.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Auctions as Experiments (with Ryota Iijima\, Yuhta Ishii\, and Nicholas Wu)
DESCRIPTION:We study a seller who does not know the distribution of buyers’ values\, but can learn from observing their bids in an auction. Which auction formats provide better information about the value distribution? We show that among a large class of standard auctions (e.g.\, kth-price\, all-pay)\, the first-price auction is (Lehmann) most informative. Thus\, while all these auction formats yield the same expected static revenue\, the first-price auction is preferred by a seller who can use today’s bid observations to optimize revenue tomorrow.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Thesis Defense - The Effects of Land-Use History and Hurricane Disturbance on Soil Microbial Function in a Tropical Forest
DESCRIPTION:Advisor: Natalia Umaña\n\nDefense summary: Soil microbes drive essential ecosystem processes like decomposition and nutrient cycling\, but how they respond to different types of disturbance remains unclear—especially in tropical forests facing both historical land use and increasing storm intensity. In this talk\, I explore how long-term land-use legacies (“press” disturbances) compare to hurricane impacts (“pulse” disturbances) in shaping soil microbial functioning in Puerto Rico. I show that land-use legacies have stronger and more persistent effects on soil conditions\, enzyme activity\, and nutrient cycling than more recent hurricane disturbance. In contrast\, microbial functioning was largely similar between hurricane-disturbed and undisturbed soils\, suggesting resilience to episodic events. These results highlight the lasting impact of human land use and suggest that legacy effects may play a larger role than natural disturbances in shaping ecosystem responses to global change.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SRC Seminar Series Presents: Inherited Inequality and Obligation Within Families
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nInheritances represent a major channel of economic transmission across generations\, shaping both inequality between families and disparities within them. Yet much research on stratification treats families as unified actors that collectively pass resources to the next generation\, overlooking how parents actually allocate resources among their children. Using family fixed‑effects models and data from the Health and Retirement Study\, we examine how inter vivos transfers and bequests are distributed within families. We find that children who receive more financial support during their parents’ lifetimes are also more likely to receive a bequest and a larger one. Rather than compensating for earlier imbalances\, bequests appear to amplify existing inequalities among siblings. These findings highlight key mechanisms in the reproduction of advantage and offer insights for policies seeking to reduce wealth inequality across generations.  \n\nBiography\nAdriana Reyes  is an Assistant Professor of Public Policy and Sociology at Cornell University. Her research examines family demography and health disparities across the life course\, with a focus on how family ties serve as social capital and how they reinforce inequalities across race and class. Her work explores the ways intergenerational relationships\, living arrangements\, and caregiving expectations shape individuals’ social and economic well‑being. Professor Reyes’ current projects investigate racial and ethnic differences in intergenerational family relations\, the financial and health implications of household composition\, and evolving attitudes toward caregiving.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Pollinator Talk!
DESCRIPTION:Worldwide pollinator declines are a growing concern amid the scientific community and the public at large. While modern agricultural practices have been identified as a major factor contributing to the pollinator crisis\, most of the research on this topic has focused on the effects of insecticide use on pollinators. In contrast\, far less effort has been invested in understanding the possible downstream effects of herbicide use on pollinators via its effects on the plants on which pollinators rely for floral resources. This oversight is especially alarming because herbicides surpass insecticides as the most widely used class of pesticides worldwide\, and instances of pollution from newly adopted herbicides\, namely synthetic auxin (“auxinic”) herbicides\, are rising.  Vero Iriart will present the findings from her ongoing postdoctoral research project\, which aims to assess the effects of novel auxinic herbicide exposure on plants\, pollinators\, and plant-pollinator interactions. In doing so\, we apply a holistic framework by investigating the impact of other relevant biotic factors present in agroecosystems (e.g. herbivores and soil microorganisms) that may also be important for mediating the consequences of herbicide exposure for plants and pollinators.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Transport Infrastructure and Agriculture Productivity: Evidence from the Antebellum United States
DESCRIPTION:This paper investigates the relationship between transport infrastructure and agricultural productivity in the Antebellum United States (1840–1860). Leveraging a novel dataset of county-pair transport costs\, we utilize time-\, region-\, and direction-specific freight rates and newly digitized road network to understand how declining transit costs reshaped the agrarian landscape and agricultural production. These data allow for a rigorous evaluation of what we can call an antebellum \"place-based\" transport policies and their heterogeneous effects on antebellum regions. We use minimum spanning tree approach to construct a plausibly exogenous transportation network which is used to assess the causal impact of transportation infrastructure on antebellum agriculture.\n \nOur first set of findings reveal that the impact of canal construction was not uniform\, showing considerable variation across different geographic regions. Notably\, in the Middle Atlantic\, the introduction of canals catalyzed a significant reallocation of resources away from wheat production\, signalling a shift in comparative advantage. While canals laid the groundwork\, railroads exerted the most transformative influence during the 1850s. In the final decade preceding the Civil War\, the expansion of the rail network drove a broad reallocation away from traditional grain production\, as improved connectivity facilitated deeper market integration and specialization. By accounting for the nuances of freight directionality and regional specificity\, this study provides new evidence on how infrastructure-led cost reductions altered land use and productivity patterns in the nineteenth-century U.S. economy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Activating Doctrine: Buddhist Architecture in Late Chosŏn Korea
DESCRIPTION:This lecture examines a largely overlooked category of visual and textual material in late Chosŏn Buddhist art: inscriptions written on ceilings and other upper architectural surfaces. In temple halls rebuilt between the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries\, ceilings were densely inscribed with seed syllables\, dhāraṇī\, and doctrinal phrases distributed across lotus-painted coffered panels above the altar. The case studies discussed in this lecture show how these inscriptions articulated apotropaic concerns\, framed scriptural authority\, and enabled doctrinal hierarchy or simultaneity. By foregrounding ceilings as sites of doctrinal articulation\, the lecture reframes late Chosŏn Buddhist temples as epistemological environments in which knowledge was ordered and transmitted through architecture itself.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Colloquium: Intrinsic dual symplectic dynamics in quasiperiodic spectral theory
DESCRIPTION:Quasiperiodic Schrödinger operators are simple deterministic models of quantum motion that nevertheless exhibit strikingly complicated behavior: fractal spectra\, metal–insulator transitions\, and an unexpected sharp sensitivity to arithmetic properties of parameters. The central example is the almost Mathieu operator\, whose study led to celebrated results such as the Ten Martini problem. But that model is highly special\,  and for a long time it was unclear whether these phenomena reflected genuine universality or exceptional symmetry.\n\nI will discuss recent work showing that these spectral phenomena are robust and universal in a natural class. The key new insight is that one can uncover intrinsic low-dimensional symplectic dynamics hidden inside the problem\, even when the standard dual cocycle formalism is no longer available. This leads to robust results on sharp arithmetic spectral transitions and the Ten Martini problem.\n\nThe talk will be aimed at a broad audience and will focus on the ideas and the emerging conceptual picture.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Henry Russel Lecture
DESCRIPTION:“Genetics of Blood Clotting: From Bedside to Bench and Back Again”\n\nThis lecture will review research conducted by David Ginsburg's lab\, particularly focusing on the connection between studies of human diseases (the bedside) and basic laboratory research (the bench). The Ginsburg lab has a longstanding interest in the genetics of inherited bleeding and blood clotting disorders and the structure and function of blood coagulation proteins\, including von Willebrand factor (von Willebrand disease)\, ADAMTS13 (Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP))\, and PAI-1 (PAI-1 deficiency). Our discovery of the molecular basis for combined deficiency of blood clotting factors V and VIII took us from the “bedside” to the “bench” to further explore the regulation of protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi\, leading to new insights into the pathogenesis of heart and blood diseases\, including the control of cholesterol levels.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Michael Woodroofe Lecture Series: Trevor Hastie\, Professor Emeritus of Statistics\, Professor Emeritus of Biomedical Data Science\, Department of Statistics\, Department of Biomedical Data Science\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this talk\, we introduce \"UniLasso\" -- a novel statistical method for sparse regression. This two-stage approach preserves the signs of the univariate coefficients and leverages their magnitude. Both of these properties are attractive for stability and interpretation of the model. Through comprehensive simulations and applications to real-world datasets\, we demonstrate that UniLasso outperforms Lasso in various settings\, particularly in terms of sparsity and model interpretability. Extensions to generalized linear models (GLMs) and Cox regression are also discussed.\n\nThis is joint work with Sourav Chatterjee and Rob Tibshirani.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Synthesis\, Structure and Applications of Highly Microporous Organic Materials
DESCRIPTION:Porous organic polymers represent a rare class of materials that combine high internal surface area with broad-spectrum chemical stability. These features make them attractive for applications where surface-guest interactions and durability dictate performance\, including corrosive gas storage\, water purification\, energy storage\, and catalysis. In many cases\, performance can be improved by fine-tuning bulk microporosity\, yet factors affecting this key property remain poorly understood. This seminar describes efforts to identify how synthetic pathways shape microporosity in amorphous porous networks. Using a network disassembly approach\, we show that pathway-dependent porosity is largely driven by defects arising from incomplete cross-linking. Implications for synthetic design and selected biomedical applications of highly microporous organic polymers will also be discussed.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman\, Award-winning Economist\, Speaker\, and Author
DESCRIPTION:A reception and book signing will take place in the Rebecca M. Blank Great Hall after the talk. The first 50 attendees at the event will receive a free copy of “The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged and Underpaid.”\n\nSPEAKERS:\nAnna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman\nAward-winning Economist\, Speaker\, and Author\n\nCortney Sanders\n2026 Twink Frey Visiting Social Activist (TFVSA)\n\nYou've probably heard of the pink tax—that additional price women pay to exist in the same world as men. Now meet the double tax\, the compounded cost of racism and sexism\, or the pink tax and then some.\n\n\"The Double Tax\" dares to ask why it’s so expensive to be a woman in America and why it doesn’t have to be this way. Throughout the book\, Anna Gifty reveals that women spend more money\, time\, and effort than men across areas like beauty\, motherhood\, and career\, and that Black and white women lead vastly different lives. These differences\, highlighted through hundreds of conversations and countless studies\, reveal that the clearest path forward to reducing costs for all women is to ensure that no woman is left behind.\n\n“The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged and Underpaid\,” her second book\, explores the costs women face\, why the bill runs higher for women of color\, and why closing the gaps helps everyone.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:II Cineforum
DESCRIPTION:II Cineforum: Italian Classics on Campus Film Screening Series\n\nFREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!\nFilm in Italian with English subtitles\n\nLocated in North Quad Space 2435\n\nTuesday\, February 10 @7pm\, Ladri di biciclette\, Vittorio De Sica\, 1948.\n\nFilm synopsis: Hailed around the world as one of the greatest movies ever made\, the Academy Award–winning Bicycle Thieves\, directed by Vittorio De Sica\, defined an era in cinema. In poverty-stricken postwar Rome\, a man is on his first day of a new job that offers hope of salvation for his desperate family when his bicycle\, which he needs for work\, is stolen. With his young son in tow\, he sets off to track down the thief. Simple in construction and profoundly rich in human insight\, Bicycle Thieves embodies the greatest strengths of the Italian neorealist movement: emotional clarity\, social rectitude\, and brutal honesty.\n\nTuesday\, March 17 @7pm\, La strada\, Federico Fellini\, 1954. \n\nFilm synopsis: There has never been a face quite like that of Giulietta Masina. Her husband\, the legendary Federico Fellini\, directs her as Gelsomina in La Strada\, the film that launched them both to international stardom. Gelsomina is sold by her mother into the employ of Zampanò (Anthony Quinn)\, a brutal strongman in a traveling circus. When Zampanò encounters an old rival in highwire artist the Fool (Richard Basehart)\, his fury is provoked to its breaking point. With La Strada\, Fellini left behind the familiar signposts of Italian neorealism for a poetic fable of love and cruelty\, evoking brilliant performances and winning the hearts of audiences and critics worldwide.\n\nTuesday\, April 7 @7pm\, Il bell'Antonio\, Mauro Bolognini\, 1960. \n\nFilm synopsis: In the lush city of Catania\, Sicily\, Antonio (Marcello Mastroianni) is regarded as the ultimate lover of women\, a title he holds dear. Yet not long after marrying the beautiful Barbara (Claudia Cardinale)\, Antonio’s new obligations begin to weigh on him\, and soon he is faltering in the bedroom. In short order\, his impotence is the talk of the town\, and Antonio is a laughingstock. As he tries to repair the damage to his marriage\, Barbara considers her options for leaving.

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

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MPSDS / JPSM Seminar Series - Machine Learning for Inverse Probability Weighting in the American Community Survey
DESCRIPTION:MPSDS / JPSM Seminar Series\nMPSDS M3 Series: Mastery\, Methodology\, Meetups\n\nIn person\, room 1070\, Institute for Social Research and via Zoom. \nthe Zoom call will be locked 10 minutes after the start of the presentation. \n\nMachine Learning for Inverse Probability Weighting in the American Community Survey\n\nDeclining response rates and data collection interruptions are resulting in missing data complexity that traditional missing data techniques used in Census Bureau survey processing may not flexibly capture. At the same time\, availability and link ability of administrative records\, third party\, and previous census/survey data has improved allowing for more informative response propensity models. These developments lend themselves to the study of data-driven enhancements on inverse probability weighting (IPW) methods to adjust for unit nonresponse. We study and compare the use of traditional statistical models and machine learning algorithms applied to complex survey data for model-based IPW nonresponse adjustment using auxiliary sources with multiple years of American Community Survey data. We share various measures for model comparisons\, application-specific tuning parameter selection\, and visualizations of geographically-differentiated results.\n\nDarcy Morris is a Research Mathematical Statistician in the Center for Statistical Research and Methodology at the U.S. Census Bureau.  Dr. Morris' research interests include missing data methods for probability and nonprobability data\, categorical data analysis\, and multivariate distributions with applications in a variety of economic\, demographic\, and social topics.  She received her PhD in Statistics from Cornell University and a Master's in Statistics from George Washington University\, where she is currently a Professional Lecturer in the Data Science Program.

DESCRIPTION:We study the perturbative S-matrix of the c=1 string and show that it admits a description in terms of a double-scaled matrix integral. Together with the well-known duality to matrix quantum mechanics\, this leads to a triality between worldsheet string theory\, matrix quantum mechanics\, and a matrix integral.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:How Health Concerns Shape Clean Energy Policy
DESCRIPTION:Clean energy is widely framed as a public health win. So why does it often trigger opposition\, and how should those conflicts be resolved? Using Michigan as a grounding case\, the panel explores what happens when health evidence\, local governance\, equity concerns and climate goals collide - and what we can do about it to meet urgent climate goals. This timely conversation will be moderated by Eliza Barclay\, climate opinion editor at The New York Times\, whose work explores how science\, climate policy and public trust collide. She will lead a lively discussion with University of Michigan faculty experts in energy systems\, public health\, equity and governance on how the U.S. can expand clean energy while building trust and protecting community health. \n\nPanelists: \nCarina Gronlund\, Ph.D.\, M.P.H.\nResearch Associate Professor\nInstitute for Social Research\, Survey Research Center\n\nSarah Mills\, Ph.D.\nDirector\, Center for EmPowering Communities\nClinical Associate Professor of Practice of Urban Planning\nTaubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\n\nParth Vaishnav\, Ph.D.\nAssistant Professor\, School for Environment and Sustainability\n\nPresented by the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation's Sandy-Hassmiller Climate & Health Initiative\, in collaboration with the Graham Sustainability Institute.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Math Grad Show and Tell Seminar: PDE in AG\, and AG in PDE?
DESCRIPTION:Algebraic geometry studies geometric shapes using algebraic methods. But somehow differential equations show up! I will give an overview of what algebraic geometers (at large) care about while highlighting the role analysis plays: for example\, hodge theory uses elliptic equations to study topology of complex manifolds\, and Monge–Ampère equations are fundamental in the study of Calabi—Yaus\, the so-called hidden dimension of the universe.\n\nConversely\, AG also gives back to differential geometry\, for example by giving algebraic criteria for existence of canonical metrics and helping with moduli problems. This talk is intended to be an introduction to algebraic geometry with a PDE twist\, and no background in either field is needed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Understanding Criminal Record Penalties in the Labor Market
DESCRIPTION:This paper studies the earnings and employment penalties associated with criminal records using linked data on criminal justice interactions\, state laws on formal labor market restrictions\, and wages and employment. We estimate fixed effects models that decompose earnings into a worker's portable earnings potential and firm pay premia\, both of which are allowed to shift after a worker acquires a record. We find that sorting into lower-paying firms explains a small share of the record penalty. Legal record restrictions are not concentrated in higher-paying jobs\, meaning that sorting away from them contributes little to the earnings gap. Conditional on earnings potential\, however\, workers with a record are substantially less likely to be employed. The results suggest that criminal record penalties operate primarily by reducing employment and lowering earnings potential at every firm rather than increasing sorting into lower-paying jobs\, although the bulk of the gaps can be attributed to differences that existed prior to acquiring a record.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Theories of neural computation underlying learning\, imagination\, reasoning and scaling: of mice and machines
DESCRIPTION:Three remarkable abilities of brains and machines are to: (1) learn new behaviors from a single example\, (2) creatively imagine new possibilities\, (3) learn language\, and (4) perform mathematical reasoning.  I will discuss simple analytic yet quantitatively predictive theories of how (1) mice learn to accurately navigate on the first encounter in a new environment\; (2) how diffusion models creatively imagine exponentially many new images\; (3) how the structure of natural language governs how much data is required to learn it\, and (4) how language models can better do mathematically reasoning.  Theoretical physics approaches are essential in deriving all of these theories\, spanning techniques like statistical mechanics\, pattern formation\, nonlinear dynamics\, high dimensional geometry\, scaling analysis\, and control of entropy.  More generally\, just as biology once provided a new frontier of complexity for physics to study\, I suggest that AI now provides a new frontier in which physics can expand to yield a new\, fundamental scientific understanding of intelligence.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Magnetic Reconnection: What do We Know Now\, and What Remains Unsolved
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nMagnetic reconnection (MR) is one of the most important transport and energy-release processes in collisionless plasmas. Although governed by highly localized kinetic physics\, MR enables system-scale changes\, often involving explosive conversion of stored magnetic energy into particle energy. MR powers such diverse plasma phenomena as solar and stellar flares\, geomagnetic storms\, and the aurora\, and underlies many of the deleterious effects collectively referred to as space weather. Magnetic reconnection therefore constitutes an important and accessible example of a fundamentally multiscale physical process.\nWhile the global consequences of magnetic reconnection have been understood at a conceptual level for some time\, the detailed physics governing its operation remained elusive until recently. The advent of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission\, which has provided—and continues to provide—unprecedented in situ measurements\, has supplied both new empirical insight and critical ground truth for theory and numerical modeling. MMS has largely resolved how MR operates at its core: the small spatial region that enables large-scale plasma dynamics. More recent results have begun to illuminate the mechanisms of energy conversion and the physical coupling between this central region and its surrounding environment. This presentation will summarize the current understanding of MR and highlight emerging research directions that follow from these recent advances.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Michael Hesse\, who received his PhD from Ruhr-Universität in Bochum\, is Vice Provost for Research and Innovation at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS)\, where he oversees research priorities that advance the Navy\, Marine Corps\, and Department of Defense. Prior to NPS\, Dr. Hesse was Director of the Science Directorate at NASA’s Ames Research Center\, leading a staff of about 500 engaged in Earth science\, planetary and astrophysical research\, and space biological research. Before joining Ames\, Dr. Hesse spent three years at the University of Bergen in Norway where he led the Geomagnetic Expert Service Centre\, a multi-national consortium providing space weather services to ESA. Prior to moving to Bergen\, Dr. Hesse had a distinguished 25-year career at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC)\, culminating in his role as the Director of the Heliophysics Science Division\, and founding Director of the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC). Dr. Hesse has published more than 300 papers (H index of 76). He is Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and member of Academia Europea\; and has received several awards including NASA Outstanding Leadership Medal\, NASA Distinguished Service Medal\, and AGU Space Weather and Nonlinear Waves and Processes Prize.\n\nThis seminar is free and open to the public. It will be conducted in person and on Zoom\, please check MIPSE website for details: https://mipse.umich.edu/seminars_2526.php

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Moduli of curves and SL_n-bundles
DESCRIPTION:I will discuss some new Artin stack compactifications of the moduli of smooth curves\, which parameterize \"perturbed curves'\" consisting of stacky semistable curves equipped with line bundles that are trivialized away from the rational bridges. This yields an infinite family of stacks all of which admit the classical coarse space of stable curves as a good moduli space. As an application\, we construct a proper and flat moduli of Gieseker SL_n-bundles over the stack of stable curves\, parameterizing SL_n-bundles on perturbed curves subject to a stability condition.  The resulting moduli problem is integral\, lci and has an explicit tangent obstruction theory\; it could be viewed as a version of stable maps into the classifying stack BSL_n. This talk is based on part of joint work in progress with Damiolini\, Halpern-Leistner\, Inchiostro and Stephens.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CCMB/DCMB Weekly Seminar Series featuring Ting Wang\, PhD (Professor of Medicine and Head\, Department of Genetics WashU Medicine)
DESCRIPTION:CCMB/DCMB Seminar by Ting Wang\, PhD\n\n\"Unmasked: transposable elements as drivers and targets in cancer\"\n\nAbstract\n\nTransposable elements (TEs) represent almost half of the human genome. Historically deemed ‘junk DNA’\, recent technological advancements have stimulated a wave of research into the functional impact of TEs on gene-regulatory networks in evolution and development\, as well as in diseases including cancer. The genetic and epigenetic evolution of cancer involves the exploitation of TEs\, whereby TEs contribute directly to cancer-specific gene activities. I will provide a perspective on the role of TEs in cancer as being a ‘double-edged sword’\, both promoting cancer evolution and representing a vulnerability that could be exploited in cancer therapy. \n\nThe CCMB Seminar Series (Sponsored by DCMB) is held at Medical Science Building 1 (MS1)\, Room 4B700\, each Wednesday\, at 4:00 pm EST\, on bioinformatics-related topics.Each seminar is presented by an invited guest speaker. These seminars are live-streamed on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Robust and Risk-Sensitive Acceleration in Gradient Methods
DESCRIPTION:First-order methods such as gradient descent (GD) are foundational in optimization. In unconstrained problems with exact gradients\, momentum-based methods—most notably Nesterov’s accelerated gradient descent (AGD) and Polyak’s heavy-ball (HB) method—achieve faster convergence by improving dependence on the condition number. However\, this acceleration comes at a cost: momentum amplifies gradient noise\, making these methods less robust than GD under standard parameter choices and requiring more accurate gradient estimates to attain comparable accuracy. Similar challenges arise in convex and nonconvex min–max optimization.\nMotivated by applications in machine learning\, this talk studies unconstrained and min–max optimization under deterministic\, unbiased stochastic\, and biased stochastic gradient noise. I will present new algorithms that achieve optimal robustness against different noise types\, using control-theoretic tools such as the H_2​ norm\, the H_∞​ norm\, and the risk-sensitivity index\, together with coherent risk measures. I will also discuss worst-case noise constructions and high-probability convergence guarantees. This perspective builds a bridge between optimization and robust control theory and enables the design of noise-robust and risk-sensitive accelerated methods.\nRepresentative Publications:\nM.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG Seminar on Geometry\, Dynamics and Topology: The growth of confined subgroups on a hyperbolic space
DESCRIPTION:Given a metric space X\, we call a discrete subgroup G of Isom(X) confined if the quotient X/G has uniformly bounded injectivity radius. When X is a higher-rank symmetric space\, Fraczyk and Gelander showed that all confined subgroups are lattices. When X is a rank-1 symmetric space\, Gekhtman and Levit showed that all confined subgroups are as “big” as normal subgroups of lattices. In this talk\, I will discuss an analogous result about confined subgroups acting on Gromov hyperbolic spaces and Teichmüller space. Joint work with Ilya Gekhtman\, Wenyuan Yang and Tianyi Zheng.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Porcelains and Power: The Politics of Chinese Art in the Age of American Ascendancy
DESCRIPTION:How can we understand the relationship between art collecting and Western imperialism as more than simply a story of victim and aggressor\, of the plundered and the plunderer? From the Gilded Age to World War II\, elite collectors and museums in the United States transformed from owning a smattering of Chinese porcelains to possessing some of the world's largest and most sophisticated collections of Chinese art.\n\nIn this talk\, historian Ian Shin shows that\, beyond aesthetic taste and economics\, geopolitics were vital to this transformation. Collecting and studying Chinese art honed Americans’ belief that they should dominate Asia and the Pacific Ocean through the ideology of “imperial stewardship.” U.S. imperial stewardship encompassed both genuine curiosity and care for Chinese art\, and the enduring structures of domination that underpinned the growing transpacific art market in the early twentieth century.\n\nFar more than a history of cultural “exchange” between the United States and China\, this is also a history of rivalries and feuds with European curators and enterprising Chinese merchants. Ultimately\, this talk challenges us to come to terms with how our interest in and desire for beautiful art are inextricable from questions of power.
