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 2014\, using macro photography to explore his backyard garden\, he unknowingly began walking a naturalist’s path and documenting native pollinators and invertebrates. His large format prints of local invertebrates are currently on exhibit outside of the Belle Isle Nature Center\, with other works on exhibit inside the Center. With them\, he seeks to inspire viewers to take a closer look at the tiny world around us.\n\n \n\nArtist Statement\n\nTo me\, the little things matter.\n\nThrough my work as a photographer\, I share the unseen and overlooked world of nature that surrounds us.

Systems with more than 1000 qubits in 2D arrays and gate fidelities approaching three nines are being developed by many academic and industrial groups. I will present recent progress at University of Wisconsin-Madison and Infleqtion with physical and logical qubit encodings. Interesting challenges remain in scaling the size and performance to the levels needed for quantum utility. Ultimately a modular approach to quantum computation will enable scaling to millions of qubits\, with inter-module connections enabled by photonic links. Recent results on entangling atoms with photons for scaling a modular architecture will be presented. \n\nBio:\nMark Saffman is a physicist working in the areas of atomic physics\, quantum and nonlinear optics\, and quantum information processing. His research team has been a pioneer in quantum computing with atomic qubits. They were the first to demonstrate a quantum CNOT gate for the deterministic entanglement of a pair of neutral atoms. This was done using interactions between highly excited Rydberg atoms. He is currently developing scalable arrays of neutral atoms for quantum computation\, communication\, and sensing applications. \nHe is the Johannes Rydberg Professor of Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and has been recognized with an Alfred P. Sloan fellowship\, a Vilas Associate Award\, the WARF Innovation Award\, and is a fellow of the American Physical Society\, and Optica. He has been active in professional service including two decades as an Associate Editor at the Physical Review\, and is the director of The Wisconsin Quantum Institute. He also serves as Chief Scientist for Quantum Information at Infleqtion.

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.

According to the Pew Research Center\, public opinion is evenly split over the use of state and local law enforcement in deportation efforts. However\, the majority of Americans disapprove of ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for many immigrants who came to the United States escaping war or other disasters at home. Additionally\, 54% of Americans disapprove of increasing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids on workplaces where people who are in the U.S. illegally may be working. Immigration enforcement has been intensified\, including renewed efforts to roll back protections like DACA\, increase deportations and border security\, and reinstate travel bans and restrict asylum pathways. The political climate has led to increased fear and caution among immigrant communities. While the state of Michigan prohibits its law enforcement from stopping individuals based on immigration status\, some state legislators are pushing for increased state and federal cooperation.\n\nIn this panel\, participants will discuss the impact of intensified immigration enforcement on immigrant communities specifically\, and the University of Michigan community generally. Panelists will also answer questions such as “How can we support individuals from immigrant backgrounds?” UID:140946-21887855@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140946 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Diversity,Immigration,Psychology,Psychology Departmental,Public Policy LOCATION:East Hall - 4448 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251121T123127 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251106T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251106T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Recruitment Webinar for Veterans and Military Spouses - November 6th DESCRIPTION:Recruitment Webinar for Veterans and Military Spouses - November 6thLife after the military?

We formalize this issue by deriving a necessary and sufficient condition for consistency\, a condition frequently violated in empirical studies. Specifically\, 77% of empirical research articles published in American Economic Review and Econometrica during 2020–2021 do not satisfy this condition. To address this limitation\, we propose two alternative approaches: (i) score subsampling and (ii) sizeadjusted reweighting. Both methods ensure uniform size control across broad classes of data-generating processes where conventional methods fail. The first approach (i) has the advantage of ensuring robustness while retaining the original estimator. The second approach (ii) modifies the estimator but is readily implementable by practitioners using statistical software such as Stata and remains uniformly valid even when the cluster size distribution follows Zipf’s law. Extensive simulation studies support our findings\, demonstrating the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

The problem of electronic waste (e-waste) has captured public and scholarly attention\, especially in sites like Agbogbloshie in Accra\, Ghana with its dystopian vista of discarded computers\, televisions and other electronic trash. Energo-waste creates similar yet different problems and takes many different forms. Some can easily be classified as e-waste\, such as solar lanterns that no longer provide light\, power banks that no longer provide back-up power for mobile phones\, or batteries for solar panels that no longer store energy. These can accumulate in the corners of rooms or in trash pits behind homes to be buried or burned\, leaving a negative environmental impact either way. Others continue to mark landscapes with their presence: windmills and solar mini-grids that no longer produce power\, electric poles that no longer transmit or distribute power\, mini hydro projects decommissioned for being financially unviable. Far less obvious forms of energo-waste include the tens of thousands of acres appropriated from rural smallholders and transferred to foreign companies for the purpose of growing jatropha\, a crop once hailed as a clean biodiesel option but which quickly fell out of favor leaving large-scale land acquisitions sitting idle\; or the tens of thousands of acres of forest sequestered for carbon offset projects (REDD+) that similarly deprived local communities of their use but are now labeled “another failed conservation fad.” Drawing on long-term community-engaged work\, participant observation and interview data\, we ask: What are the social impacts of and responses to energo-waste? What harms and/or benefits does it produce\, and for whom\, both in the present and for the future?\n\nBiography:\nKelly Askew is the Niara Sudarkasa Collegiate Professor of Anthropology and Afroamerican & African Studies at the University of Michigan. Current research projects and publications focus on rural water and energy access\, postsocialist poetics\, pastoralism\, Indigenous political movements\, and land rights in Tanzania. She is also an award-winning documentary filmmaker.

The advent of JWST has revolutionized our ability to detect and study galaxies from these early epochs\, now extending the frontier of confirmed systems to z ~ 20. At the same time\, submm/mm observations with ALMA are providing complementary insights into the cold dust and gas components that trace early star formation. In this talk\, I will present my recent efforts to explore the most distant universe through a synergistic approach combining JWST\, ALMA\, and gravitational lensing\, enabling the most sensitive and comprehensive investigations of the earliest phases of galaxy formation. My systematic JWST spectroscopic survey confirms the high abundance of z > 9 galaxies previously suggested by photometric studies\, and I will discuss possible origins of this surprising excess based on our initial characterizations. I will also introduce the first infrared luminosity function derived from the largest faint ALMA sample ever compiled\, allowing a direct estimate of the total (unobscured + dust-obscured) cosmic star formation history up to z ~ 8. Our joint JWST and ALMA deep follow-up observations of a strongly lensed early galaxy reveal that what appears as a single disk-like structure is resolved into at least 15 individual young massive star clusters with effective radii of 10–50 pc\, dominating ~70% of the galaxy’s total flux and embedded within a smooth rotating disk (V/σ ~ 3). These findings suggest that stellar feedback is remarkably weak at these epochs\, providing a plausible explanation for the enhanced star formation activity inferred from our rest-UV and FIR studies. At the end of my talk\, I will also introduce my ~300-hour Cycle 4+5 JWST treasury program\, Vast Exploration for Nascent\, Unexplored Sources (VENUS) — JWST’s first wide lensing-cluster survey. Designed to fully harness the power of gravitational lensing\, VENUS aims to uncover the faintest and earliest galaxies across cosmic time\, and I will present some of its initial outcomes showcasing the transformative potential of this new endeavor.

Despite great progress\, uncovering the molecular mechanisms of transport—especially under nonequilibrium conditions—remains an outstanding challenge.\n\nIn this seminar\, I will introduce Multiscale Responsive Kinetic Modeling (MsRKM)\, a framework that integrates simulations and experiment to extract transport mechanisms consistent with molecular-level insights and macroscopic observations. By incorporating electrochemically responsive rate constants\, MsRKM allows direct comparison with current-voltage (I–V) profiles and predicts how mechanisms shift under varying conditions.\n\nOur findings show that chemical and electrical gradients—even when equal in Nernstian magnitude—drive fundamentally different transport behaviors. For example\, ClC-ec1 exhibits gradient-dependent mechanisms while the Shaker K⁺ channel requires gradient-shifting off-pathway flux. MsRKM also disentangles the physical origins of voltage- and concentration-dependent current profiles (I–V vs. I–μ) and explains directional flux (rectification) by linking ion binding site locations to voltage sensitivity. \n\nIn an era of rapid advances in computational and experimental techniques\, this work highlights the power of integrating simulation\, experiment\, and mechanistic modeling to uncover molecular mechanisms—providing new insight into how life operates under nonequilibrium conditions.

However\, the development of key statistical methods in population genetics lags behind the generation of datasets that require them for analysis. In particular\, methods for studying population history\, structure\, admixture\, demography\, and selection in continuous space are still lacking\, leading to a gap in our ability to answer basic questions in evolutionary biology. This talk will celebrate Dr. Bradburd's promotion to tenure (woohoo!) and present several vignettes on how geography can be incorporated into population genetics to better understand the processes generating the diversity of life.

DESCRIPTION:Given a discrete isometry group action on the hyperbolic spaces\, the critical exponent of the group measures the exponential growth rate of its orbit. This quantity not only sees the dynamics of the quotient manifold but also constrains its geometry. I will present my joint work with Wang that if the critical exponent is very small\, the quotient manifold is geometrically finite. Then I will focus on how the quantity changes when we deform the Fuchsian representations in the Hitchin component of PSL(3\, R)\, which is joint work in progress with Islam\, Martone\, and Pozzetti.

The Bethe Ansatz was introduced in 1931 by Hans Bethe to find eigenvectors and eigenvalues for the generator of a one-dimensional quantum spin system\, which is also the setting for this talk. While the Bethe Ansatz proved to be an effective computational tool\, providing deep insight into quantum spin chains\, it lacked many rigorous theoretical guarantees for many years. There has been much elucidating mathematical activity over the decades to understand the hidden symmetries and analytical consequences of the Bethe Ansatz\, and many theoretical questions have been answered. In this talk\, we address how to obtain exact dynamics for the Heisenberg-Ising XXZ spin-1/2 periodic chain using the Bethe Ansatz. We provide precise formulas to take a linear combination of the eigenvectors from the Bethe Ansatz and obtain exact dynamics. The formulas presented have been rigorously confirmed for some special cases and the general case has only been confirmed numerically.\nThis talk is aimed at a general math audience with no special background needed beyond linear algebra and analysis.

The Falerii Novi Project\, which began in 2021\, has undertaken the first scientific excavations in a city famously founded after Romans sacked the nearby Faliscan city of Falerii Veteres and relocated its residents in 241 BCE. The partial urban plan of the site has been spectacularly revealed by geophysical remote sensing\, but our excavations are providing a refined chronology for the town’s occupation\, which was much more enduring than previously assumed\; surprising evidence for patterns of trade\, economic activity\, and environmental interactions\; and a comprehensive analysis of the city’s residential fabric. \n\nInstead of focusing on the city’s monumental and civic structures\, as is often the case for urban investigations\, our research questions are aimed at understanding processes of urban development from the bottom up. We have therefore focused on mundane spaces\, such as shops\, houses\, and roadside bars\, to provide a more complete picture of Roman urbanism beyond elite and administrative spaces. The project is arguably the most methodologically diverse investigation of a Roman town to date.\n\nMargaret M. Andrews is assistant professor of classics at Harvard University and codirector of the Falerii Novi Project. \n\nThis event is free and open to the public\, sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America.

Shot over four years as the Syrian civil war uprooted millions\, this highly acclaimed film comes at an important time as America focuses on its immigration and refugee policies. Dalya\, the only Muslim at a private Catholic high school in Los Angeles\, must straddle her two worlds while navigating her teenage years and her religious faith. Dalya comes across as an ordinary Southern California teenager. She takes selfies and goes to prom. She plays sports and hangs out at the mall. She is also the only student at her high school who wears a hijab. While Dalya’s mother is tasked with redefining herself after leaving both her country and husband\, Dalya's brother takes on the role of ushering the family through their resettlement. Viewers are brought into the intimate world of this family as they tackle complex experiences\, including immigration\, assimilation\, divorce\, and feminism\, against the backdrop of mounting tensions surrounding America’s Muslim immigration policies.

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.

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.

However\, the training of LLMs has raised significant privacy and legal concerns\, particularly regarding the inclusion of copyrighted materials in their training data without proper attribution or licensing\, which falls under the broader issue of data misappropriation. In this article\, we focus on a specific problem of data misappropriation detection\, namely\, to determine whether a given LLM has incorporated data generated by another LLM. To address this issue\, we propose embedding watermarks into the copyrighted training data and formulating the detection of data misappropriation as a hypothesis testing problem. We develop a general statistical testing framework\, construct a pivotal statistic\, determine the optimal rejection threshold\, and explicitly control the type I and type II errors. Furthermore\, we establish the asymptotic optimality properties of the proposed tests\, and demonstrate its empirical effectiveness through intensive numerical experiments.

Yet while centering the trajectories of objects\, artists\, and ideas served to set studies of these practices in motion\, it also helped obscure the profound importance of place as a concept that anchored such multifaceted itinerancy. This symposium gathers six art historians\, each working on different sites entangled in varied ways within Spanish colonial networks\, to explore how objects—as assemblages of both physical matter and ideas about the wider worlds that those substances materialized—played a fundamentally locative role for period audiences who navigated them. Working within a context that was indelibly shaped by displacement\, each investigates how these objects emerged as both key components of Imperial infrastructures of place and the placemaking activities that emerged in response.\n\nSpeakers:\nMaría Lumbreras (UC Santa Barbara)\nFrancisco Mamani Fuentes (Instituto Francés de Estudios Andinos)\nAnthony Meyer (New York University)\nDrisana Misra (Cornell)\nBrendan McMahon (University of Michigan)\nCatalina Ospina (Yale University) \n\nWelcome and opening remarks: 10:00-10:15 am\n\nSession One: 10:15-11 45 am\nAnthony Meyer - “Transformative Journeys: Carrying Materials in Nahua Religion”\nCatalina Ospina - “Colonial Artistry and Ecology: Mopa Mopa as a Medium of Place”\n\nSession Two: 12:00-1:30 pm\nFrancisco Mamani Fuentes - “Ecological Policies in the Production of Wooden Arts in the Colonial Andes”\nMaría Lumbreras - “Bitumen-Bound: Morisco Placemaking at the End of Spain’s Islam”\n\nSession Three: 2:30-4:00 pm\nDrisana Misra - “Lacustrine Imaginaries: Japanese World Map Screens and Indigenous Knowledges”\nBrendan McMahon - “‘To breathe naturally in a world of strangeness’: Lithic Placemaking in Colonial Mexico City.”\n\nRoundtable: 4:00-4:30 pm\nDiscussant - Ken Mills (University of Michigan)\n\nReception: 4:30-5:00 pm UID:140495-21887230@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140495 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art history,history,Japanese Studies,Latin America,Romance Languages And Literatures,Spanish Studies LOCATION:LSA Building - Multipurpose Room, 1040 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251006T093433 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251107T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251107T110000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UM Structure Seminar: Discovery of a protein that links fluoride transport and cellular energy level DESCRIPTION:Graduate Student \nResearch Assistant\nRandy Stockbridge Lab UID:140322-21886919@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Structural Biology LOCATION:Life Sciences Institute - LSI Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251107T092054 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251107T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251107T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Write with ME - Resume Workshop DESCRIPTION:Need help with your resume?

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.

Michigan’s research focused on the expansion of the city under Rome\, its exports to the empire\, and the activities of its suburbs. \n\nIn this talk\, David Stone examines the evidence for the origins of the city—a subject that might be thought of as the “prequel” to Michigan’s research focus. He investigates the settlement and cemeteries of the 5th to 3rd century BCE\, a time when we see the horizons of inhabitants expanding as they came into more frequent contact with other Mediterranean cultures. Using an approach to rooted in identity and globalization theories\, Dr. Stone argues that to understand the early phases of the city\, one must shift the debate on North African peoples in the first millennium BCE away from a focus on discrete cultural groups and toward the ways material culture was employed to make statements regarding power\, identity\, and social status.\n\nTo register for this Flash Talk\, fill out the form at https://forms.gle/nLAPRPWoJwfgcGrm9.

Benedict's work has largely been overshadowed by her physical and mental breakdown resulting from the grueling conditions she faced in the field\, but likewise\, Fernandez argues\, was a situation that stemmed from her intense commitment not only to the work of research\, but also to her deep identifications with the Bagobos. According to her contemporaries\, her later fieldwork was characterized by an increasing \"paranoia\" towards the American hemp planters of the region\, whose incursions\, she believed\, caused \"a severe crisis in [the Bagobos'] tribal history\,\" representing a breakdown of their \"traditional\" way of life\, thus looking on in horror at the Bagobos' acculturation. This talk analyzes Benedict's fieldwork to make sense of the early history of anthropological fieldwork in the American colonial Philippines by contextualizing Benedict's fieldwork praxis through her gendered experiences of research\, and examining the way that the Bagobos of Mindanao invited\, of their own volition\, Benedict's participation in their cultural and religious life.\n \n Juan Fernandez is assistant professor of Southeast Asian history at the University of Wisconsin - Madison\, where he is working on his first book project\, \"Becoming Natives\,\" which is a history of how gender and ethnographic fieldwork intertwine to produce anthropological knowledge in the early twentieth century in the American Philippines.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at valdezjo@umich.edu.

However\, there is a fundamental conundrum because follicular lymphoma-associated mutations in the V-ATPase result in lysosomal/vacuolar deacidification but elevated autophagy activity under nutrient-replete conditions and the underlying mechanisms remain mysterious. Here\, working in yeast\, I show that V-ATPase dysfunction activates a selective autophagy flux termed the \"V-ATPase-dependent autophagy \". \n\nBy combining transcriptomic and proteomic profiling\, along with genome-wide suppressor screening approaches\, I found that the V-ATPase-dependent autophagy is regulated through a unique mechanism distinct from classical nitrogen starvation-induced autophagy. Tryptophan metabolism negatively regulates the V-ATPase-dependent autophagy via two parallel effectors. On the one hand\, it activates ribosome biogenesis\, thus repressing the translation of the transcription factor Gcn4/ATF4. On the other hand\, tryptophan fuels NAD+ de novo biosynthesis to inhibit autophagy. These results provide an explanation for the mutational activation of autophagy seen in follicular lymphoma patients.

However\, this process is far from straightforward. Research on denial and ignorance has begun to highlight the tactics and everyday practices that enable distancing\, ignoring\, and evasion\, uncovering the ways fields\, organizations\, and individuals continually – and often creatively – arrive at not-knowing. Despite being pervasive and socially consequential\, ignorance is understudied. Leveraging in-depth interviews and observations of participants in a women’s leadership development program at a large non-profit organization over a three-year period\, we outline a new theoretical approach for understanding how not-knowing is produced and sustained. In this talk\, we share insights into ‘managing knowing\,’ or how relevant but unwelcome\, uncomfortable\, or problematic information is not attended to\, actively ignored\, and kept out of mind. Through the framework of ‘managing knowing\,’ we illuminate a hard-to-see barrier that can prevent organizational members from seeing and responding to difficult issues and stymies organizational change.

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.

This motivates the need for approximation algorithms. One of these is the thresholding scheme by Merriman\, Bence and Osher. We analyze a generalization of this to level set mean curvature flow on manifolds with generalized kernels\, the median filter scheme. To be precise\, we motivate the scheme\, present an algorithm for it and show the convergence. In this context\, we introduce generalized solution concepts of mean curvature flow. The most important one for us is the viscosity solution.
