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:137111-21879705@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:20251015T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251015T170000 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.

Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

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.

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.

In this exhibition poetic gestures and nods to Walser are able to flourish as visual forms and objects. The work comprises spontaneous and excessively durational works of drawing\, collage\, and sculpture.\n\nFor years\, I have been intrigued by the author Robert Walser’s mark making which he referred to as his “pencil method” where he would sketch out stories in a radically miniaturized script on diminutive paper fragments. Walser’s pencil method began when he was experiencing severe writer’s cramp and: “hideously and frightfully hated his pen.” He goes on in a letter written in 1927 describing the freeing nature of this process: “I suffered a real breakdown in my hand on account of the pen\, a sort of cramp from whose clutches I slowly\, laboriously freed myself by means of the pencil.”\n\nJust as it was with Walser “by means of a pencil” I was able to make peace with drawing by radically altering the process by which I approached the act itself. Eventually\, this became processes like my transcription drawings\, in which I write out an entire novel as a form of mark making.\n\nWhile this exhibition mines the Walser archive and the spirit of this author\, this work is just as much about me and my immersion in this “world of Walser.” It is about my own engagement with relationships between language and mark making\, language and sculpture\, language and longing.\n\nThis project was made possible by the generous support of Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nPoster design by Sky Christoph.\n\nHours: 12 – 6 pm\, Tues. – Fri. & Sun.\n\nLocation: 2281 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109 UID:140228-21886764@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140228 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Arts Initiative,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Gallery 1019 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251015T112052 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251015T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251015T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CMW: Relieving Stress & Burnout DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunch workshop and wellness group where we will learn strategies to cope with stress and burnout.

The Revolution Within: Islamic Media and the Struggle for a New Egypt DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the social life of theology in relation to both Islamic television production and the 2011 Tahrir Square uprising. Based on fieldwork in the Cairo branch of the world’s first Islamic television channel\, it traces the ways in which pious struggles over the forms and ends of Islamic media articulated with broader struggles over the forms and ends of a “New Egypt\,” radically reconfiguring both the religious and the revolutionary for millions of ordinary people. Taking seriously the internal fractures of Egypt’s Islamic Revival offers new insight on the intersections of religion\, culture and politics in the region beyond the conventional “Islamism versus secularism\" frameworks that dominate analysis of authoritarianism in the Arab world.\n \n Yasmin Moll is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. A socio-cultural anthropologist\, Dr. Moll’s research interests span the intersections of religion\, media\, and politics as well as questions of race\, indigeneity and heritage activism in the Middle East and North Africa. Her work explores what a methodological attunement to theological contestations reveals about everyday dynamics of ethical belonging and moral boundary-making in highly polarized contexts.\n\n RSVP: https://myumi.ch/9p321\n\n\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

DESCRIPTION:We study the effect of normalization on the layers of deep neural networks. A given layer i with N_{i} hidden units is normalized by 1/N_{i}^{γ_{i}} with γ_{i}∈[1/2\,1]. We study the effect of the choice of the γ_{i} on the statistical behavior of the neural network’s output (such as variance) as well as on the test accuracy and generalization properties of the architecture. We find that in terms of variance of the neural network’s output and test accuracy the best choice is to choose the γ_{i}’s to be equal to one\, which is the mean-field scaling. We also find that this is particularly true for the outer layer\, in that the neural network’s behavior is more sensitive in the scaling of the outer layer as opposed to the scaling of the inner layers. The mechanism for the mathematical analysis is an asymptotic expansion for the neural network’s output. An important practical consequence of the analysis is that it provides a systematic and mathematically informed way to choose the learning rate hyperparameters. Such a choice guarantees that the neural network behaves in a statistically robust way as the number of hidden units N_{i} grow. Time permitting\, I will discuss applications of these ideas to design of deep learning algorithms for scientific problems including solving high dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs)\, closure of PDE models and reinforcement learning with applications to financial engineering\, turbulence and more.

And I’m kind of fed up with the scene\, it’s not what I’m into right now\,” Chaney says. Pointing to his lifelong admiration for 1990s rock as a vital influence on the sonic landscape of the album\, Chaney aimed to find a melodic balance between that raw and real rock sound and the bluegrass and folk music of his native Kentucky.\n\n“I wanted to make something that sounded like Ralph Stanley went in and got backed up by Soundgarden\,” Chaney notes. “I write what I listen to. And whatever I listen to is going to come out in my music.”\n\nFor Chaney\, even though he’s only in his mid-twenties\, his journey has been long and bountiful already. From growing up in rural Appalachia to going to welding school\, only to leave it behind and take a leap of faith when an opportunity to pursue music emerged. That life-changing decision led to Chaney hitting the road and finding work at The Burl\, a storied Lexington music venue. Chaney has come full circle with The Burl\, by selling out the space on multiple occasions to fervent crowds\, including the large outdoor stage.\n \nWith In the Shadow of the Mountain being the latest milestone for Chaney\, what remains is this driven musician in search of not only himself and his sound\, but also an audience just as hungry — for something new\, something different\, and yet something so familiar.

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:137111-21879706@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:20251016T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251016T170000 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.

Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

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.

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.

In this exhibition poetic gestures and nods to Walser are able to flourish as visual forms and objects. The work comprises spontaneous and excessively durational works of drawing\, collage\, and sculpture.\n\nFor years\, I have been intrigued by the author Robert Walser’s mark making which he referred to as his “pencil method” where he would sketch out stories in a radically miniaturized script on diminutive paper fragments. Walser’s pencil method began when he was experiencing severe writer’s cramp and: “hideously and frightfully hated his pen.” He goes on in a letter written in 1927 describing the freeing nature of this process: “I suffered a real breakdown in my hand on account of the pen\, a sort of cramp from whose clutches I slowly\, laboriously freed myself by means of the pencil.”\n\nJust as it was with Walser “by means of a pencil” I was able to make peace with drawing by radically altering the process by which I approached the act itself. Eventually\, this became processes like my transcription drawings\, in which I write out an entire novel as a form of mark making.\n\nWhile this exhibition mines the Walser archive and the spirit of this author\, this work is just as much about me and my immersion in this “world of Walser.” It is about my own engagement with relationships between language and mark making\, language and sculpture\, language and longing.\n\nThis project was made possible by the generous support of Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nPoster design by Sky Christoph.\n\nHours: 12 – 6 pm\, Tues. – Fri. & Sun.\n\nLocation: 2281 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109 UID:140228-21886765@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140228 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Arts Initiative,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Gallery 1019 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250909T181719 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251016T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251016T123000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Carillon Lesson DESCRIPTION:In place of a regular recital\, the public is welcome to visit and observe as students take a lesson on the carillon led by Prof. Tiffany Ng.\n\nThe Charles Baird Carillon is an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower.

However\, understanding its molecular pathology within the context of spatial architecture has remained challenging. This talk will introduce spatial proteomics as an emerging tool for dissecting complex cellular neighborhoods and their functions at single-cell resolution. It helped address two key problems in spatial transcriptomics: Can we detect cellular morphology? Are RNAs the best proxies for proteins? By utilizing 25-plex spatial proteomics through co-detection by indexing (CODEX)\, we established the experimental platform for profiling human hippocampus and developed a computational framework through the lens of cellular neighborhoods.\n\nAbout The Tools & Technology Seminar Series\n\nThe DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar Series is held in Palmer Commons\, Room 2036\, each Thursday at 12pm EST.

The Long Shadow of Home: New Russian Political Migrants in Georgia and Serbia DESCRIPTION:WCEE Postdoctoral Fellow Liudmila Listrovaya will present findings from her ethnographic research on recent Russian political migrants—*relokanti*. Relokanti\, despite possessing financial\, linguistic\, and cultural capital abroad\, remain politically silent in both public and private spheres. Drawing on interviews and participant observation conducted during fieldwork in Georgia and her most recent trip to Serbia\, Liudmila Listrovaya will show how fears of reprisal\, familial repercussions\, and community ostracism converge to suppress transnational political action.\n \nThe data reveal a fraught trade-off: public dissent jeopardizes personal and family ties and risks social isolation within host communities\, while silence extends the Russian state’s extraterritorial reach. The authoritarian state’s mechanisms of surveillance and control\, ranging from political threats to the possibility of legal punishment and social coercion\, produce powerful disincentives to dissent among diasporic populations. By unpacking these dynamics\, this research advances theories of transnational authoritarianism and the ethics of voice and silence under authoritarianism. It also highlights the need for host-country policies and diaspora organizations to develop protective strategies that restore exiled communities’ capacity for collective action and political expression.\n \nAs an environmental and political sociologist specializing in Russia\, Liudmila Listrovaya's research spans environmental inequality and governance\, authoritarian populism\, and war-prompted migration. She received her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Oregon in 2024\, during which she also completed a six-month internship with the United Nations Environment Programme in Geneva.\n \nDr. Listrovaya's current research projects include exploring the intersection of authoritarian populism and environmental issues in Russia\, focusing on how the history of internal colonialism and ethnicity discourse has shaped environmental inequality and its perceptions. Another key project examines the war in Ukraine and its consequences\, specifically regime-prompted outmigration from Russia. For this\, she conducted ethnographic fieldwork in Georgia and collected interviews with Russian political migrants. Her research has been published in *Qualitative Sociology*\, *Social Forces*\, *Environmental Sociology* and accepted for publication in *Society and Natural Resources*.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

We document how aggregate and idiosyncratic shocks propagate over time for households in dif- ferent macro and micro states. Lastly\, we quantify the welfare cost of aggregate and idiosyncratic risk.

As success in this regard would yield powerful bioengineered constructs useful in functional transplantation\, high-throughput drug screening\, and fundamental biology investigation\, research efforts in our lab have centered around developing and implementing tools to spatiotemporally customize living cell function both from the “outside–in” and from the “inside–out”. In this talk\, I will discuss some of our group’s recent successes in reversibly modifying the chemical and physical aspects of synthetic cell culture platforms with user-defined and grayscale control\, regulating cell-biomaterial interactions through user-programmable Boolean logic\, engineering microvascular networks that span nearly all size scales of native human vasculature (including capillaries)\, irreversibly photoassembling bioactive proteins within living cells\, and driving biomolecular condensate formation using de novo-designed proteins. Results will highlight our ability to modulate intricate cellular behavior including stem cell differentiation\, protein secretion\, and cell-cell interactions in 4D.

PV is on track to be the largest renewable energy source by 2029. Today\, silicon PV accounts for roughly 97% of the market share while thin-film PV (mainly CdTe) accounts for the remaining 3%. Silicon PV module prices recently reached a global average low price of <$0.15 per Watt (mainly driven by module production in China)\, making PV a competitive energy source compared to fossil fuels.\n\nResearch and development advances in thin-film PV (with focus on perovskite-based thin-film PV) suggest that novel thin-film PV technologies can not only offer even cheaper PV deployment but also at a lower carbon footprint compared to silicon PV. Perovskite-based thin- film PV has reached record efficiencies of 26.95%\, approaching the silicon single-junction record of 27.81%.\n\nThe prospect of even more affordable PV technology will create new possibilities in emerging green and low-carbon markets.\n\nBiography:\nVera Steinmann is a trained physicist with a Ph.D. in organic photovoltaics from Cologne University in Germany. She developed emerging inorganic thin-film absorbers during her postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Vera joined Kateeva (a Silicon Valley startup in the OLED display industry) in 2016\, and has been with First Solar since 2019\, working on emerging technologies. Vera has helped build and lead the internal perovskite team. Since 2022\, Vera leads the external R&D investment program.

Combining scanning probe microscopy and nanolithography\, microfluidic delivery\, this presentation introduces a new chemistry means\, known as “controlled assembly of molecules”\, which enables 3D nanoprinting. While self-assembly of molecules is relatively well-known and frequently utilized in chemical synthesis and material science\, controlled assembly of molecules represents a new concept and approach. The key to controlled assembly is the fact that ultra-small solution droplets exhibit different dynamics from those of larger ones. This new approach enables delivery of sub-femtoliter aqueous droplets containing designed molecules\, which lead to well-defined features with dimensions as small as tens of nanometers\, as illustrated in the Figure. The initial shape of the droplet and the concentration of solutes within the droplet dictate the final assembly of molecules due to the ultrafast evaporation rate and dynamic spatial confinement of the droplets. Applications of this technology in 3D nanoprinting are demonstrated. The level of control demonstrated in this work brings us closer to programmable synthesis for chemistry\, as such benefit applications in materials science\, additive manufacturing\, and nanobiotechnology.

This talk concerns free-by-cyclic groups\, i.e.\, mapping tori of outer automorphisms of finite-rank free groups. The principal result provides the first complete algebraic characterization of when a free-by-cyclic group admits a hierarchically hyperbolic structure by using a transparent condition on intersections between particular maximal subgroups. We describe this as having \"unbranched blocks\" and show that it is equivalent to a host of a priori stronger geometric properties\, such as being quasi-isometric to a finite-dimensional CAT(0) cube complex.\n\nThis represents joint work with Mark Hagen\, Funda Gültepe\, and Pritam Ghosh.\n\nThe talk is intended to be self-contained and accessible to a general topologically- or geometrically-inclined audience. Knowledge of hyperbolic geometry will not be assumed\, although foundational facts will be presented without proof.

The residents of these domains were subject to a doubled sovereignty: the sovereignty of the empire\, centered on jurisprudence and oriented towards the horizon of the right to take life or let live\, and the sovereignty of a chiefly house\, centered on kinship and bondage and oriented towards the horizon of the right to enslave. Drawing on the archive of a Nasu chiefly house\, this talk follows a chiefly heir named Nuo Zhenxing as he was expelled from the chiefly house by his adoptive mother and tortured by a district magistrate during the devastating Jiaqing famine of 1815-1817. I juxtapose Zhenxing’s experiences of hunger and exile\, recorded in his Chinese-language diary\, with fabulations of thought and ritual such dream statues and twisted grass criminals\, from texts in the indigenous Yi (or Ne) script\, that reflect ways ordinary farmers and slaves experienced double sovereignty. \n\nProfessor Anne Pitcher\, the Joel Samoff Collegiate Professor of Political Science and Afroamerican and African Studies\n\nLecture Title: Disrupting the Border: State Sovereignty\, Domestic Corruption\, and Transnational Kleptocracy\n\nLecture Abstract: In recent years\, studies of corruption have provided extraordinary insight into the pilfering of state resources by politicians. There are exhaustive case studies of nepotism\, bribery\, and embezzlement in Azerbaijan or Zimbabwe. Scholars have identified different corruption types and Transparency International provides country rankings according to citizens’ perceptions of corruption. Yet\, many of these studies stop at national borders. By contrast\, an emerging literature in International Relations documents the features of “transnational kleptocracy” or rather\, the cross-border movement of public assets that politicians have hijacked for personal gain. Owing to changes in the global economy\, state sovereignty has now become “elastic” and permeable\, which has facilitated the transnational flow of capital and the purchase of real estate beyond domestic jurisdictions. My research builds a conceptual bridge between these two literatures and offers a means by which scholars can jointly evaluate the association between corruption and transnational kleptocracy. \n\nProfessor Silke Weineck\, the Grace Lee Boggs Collegiate Professor of Comparative Literature and German Studies\n\nLecture Title: On Honor\n\nLecture Abstract: In the Nicomachean Ethics\, Aristotle asserts that virtue is the condition of being friends with yourself: “a [good] person wishes to spend time with himself\, since he finds it pleasant to do so.” While honor has often been understood as a commitment to your external reputation\, I want to suggest that honor predominantly safeguards the reputation you have with yourself. We cannot resist the authoritarianism unfolding around us without a commitment to ethical norms of conduct that allow us to remain on good terms with ourselves\, and only therefore with others. A sense of honor\, in other words\, prohibits collaboration with the current regime. Its costs are high\, but I want to believe\, with Aristotle\, that there is no happiness without it. Creating the conditions of possibility for happiness is arguably the core political project for the left. \n\nIf you are unable to join us in person\, please click the link below to join the webinar.\n\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iPad\, or Android:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/91058514389\n\nPhone one-tap:\n+13052241968\,\,91058514389# US\n+13092053325\,\,91058514389# US\n\nJoin via audio:\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 780 666 0144 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\nWebinar ID: 910 5851 4389\nInternational numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/acBAHNLkJB UID:137126-21879782@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137126 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:African American,Anthropology,Language,Literature,Politics LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 10th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250905T153502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251016T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251016T180000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Rare BOO👻ks and other Spooky Selections from Special Collections DESCRIPTION:Come feast your eyes on spooky scary selections from Special Collections!

Presenting counternarratives that challenge canonical American stories\, Moore interweaves history\, art history\, politics\, and literature to explore the cyclical nature of national memory and denial. His work bridges past and present by unearthing the mythos of American culture through a lens of overlooked figures—from prominent Black abolitionists to frontier laborers. At the heart of his pursuit is a refusal to separate beauty from truth\, or history from accountability. \nMoore received his BFA from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and his MFA in Painting from the Yale School of Art. He is a 2023 Kresge Arts Fellow and a recipient of the Princeton Hodder Fellowship. His work has been exhibited nationally\, with pieces held in the permanent collections of the Detroit Institute of Arts\, the Studio Museum in Harlem\, and the Princeton University Art Museum\, among others. His first museum survey\, Enriched: Presence &\; Preservation\, opened at the Charles H. Wright Museum and traveled to the California African American Museum. His most recent institutional exhibition\, Revolutionary Times\, opened at the Flint Institute of Arts and activated Black resistance through recovered histories and representational clarity.\nIn this talk\, Moore will speak through a practice grounded in rigorous research and material precision\, drawing from archives\, ancestral memory\, and art historical traditions to interrogate the afterlives of history in contemporary life.

In this presentation\, I will share examples from India and other developing nations that demonstrate how AI-powered solutions are being designed\, implemented\, and scaled to improve people’s lives\, in manner consistent with Kentaro’s observation.\n\nEach project narrative will explore how specific problems were selected\, the significant constraints and opportunities encountered during the design and development phases\, and the approaches taken for implementation. The discussion will also address the challenges and possibilities associated with scaling these solutions.\n\nA central lesson from these experiences is the necessity for what I call “radical collaboration.” This involves bringing together a diverse group of contributors—technology specialists\, implementing organizations\, subject matter experts\, donors\, and government agencies. Through these case studies\, I will illustrate how such deep collaboration can turn AI-driven innovations into effective solutions for challenges in the developing world.\n\nMeet P.

Their discussion will be followed by a dessert reception. Virtual attendance option available for Ann Arbor audience. \n\nDrawing from his upcoming book\, \"Hebrew Orientalism: Jewish Engagement with Arabo-Islamic Culture in Late Ottoman and British Palestine\"\, Dr. Hussein will explore how Jewish writers in late Ottoman and British Mandate Palestine utilized Arabo-Islamic culture. In the decades before the establishment of a Jewish state in 1948\, native and immigrant Jews in Palestine mediated between Jewish and Arab cultures while navigating their evolving identities as settler colonists. Hebrew Orientalism challenges the conventional view that Hebrew thinkers were dismissive of Arabo-Islamic culture\, revealing how they both adopted and adapted elements of it that enhanced their aims.\n\nFrom Dr. Hussein: I am a historian specializing in modern Israel-Palestine and the neighboring Arabic-speaking countries of the Middle East (19th-21st centuries)\, with a focus on the subfield of Jewish-Arab/Muslim studies. Trained in Judaic and Near Eastern Studies\, I employ intellectual history\, cultural history\, and literary analysis to examine the multifaceted relations—religious\, cultural\, intellectual\, and social—between Jews and Arabs/Muslims from medieval to modern times. A central aim of my research is to illuminate how Arab and Jewish scholars in the modern Middle East have reappropriated and repurposed their communities’ shared histories and interwoven legacies. Engaging with these historical interactions provides a rich context for understanding the enduring influence of tradition\, history\, and language on contemporary concerns in the region. My scholarship thus spans multiple fields and disciplines\, reflecting its interdisciplinary and comparative nature.
