Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21817941@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241019T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241019T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621420@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241019T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241019T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

Modeled after Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey\, Ulysses is the latest project by the New York City-based theater company Elevator Repair Service\, perhaps best known for Gatz\, its award-winning verbatim staging of the entire text of The Great Gatsby.\n\nBuilding on a rich history of staging modernist texts\, Elevator Repair Service takes on this mammoth work of 21st-century literature (in an abridged version!) for their UMS debut. Seven performers sit down for a sober reading but soon find themselves guzzling pints\, getting in brawls\, and committing debaucheries as they careen on a fast-forward tour through Joyce’s funhouse of styles. With madcap antics and a densely layered sound design\, Elevator Repair Service presents an eclectic sampling from Joyce’s life-affirming masterpiece.

Marrying nostalgic storytelling to nuanced\, folk-infused indie rock\, the Richmond\, Virginia band embroiders heartfelt melody and harmony with acoustic and electric instrumentation to create a 12-song rumination on time\, love and personal growth that’s equal parts urgent epiphany and contented exhalation.\n\nOriginally formed as a college cover band in 1992 and with over 3\,500 famously enthused live shows together\, Carbon Leaf helped to define the aughts indie rock that they ultimately outgrew and outlasted. They first earned national recognition with “The Boxer\,” a song that won the American Music Awards 2002 New Music Award and made Carbon Leaf the first unsigned band to perform before millions on the AMAs.\n\n“The Boxer” entered regular radio rotation\, Carbon Leaf’s tours grew bigger and better\, and within a couple of years they quit their day jobs and inked a record deal. The band’s fanbase snowballed\, drawn to their infectious spirit of commitment\, empathy\, communion\, and selfreliance – not to mention supremely crafted songs with ultra-relatable\, thought-provoking lyrics.\n\nAfter a trio of charting albums for Vanguard Records\, multiple songwriting awards and headlining shows\, Carbon Leaf opted to return to the complete creative control of their indie roots. Guitarist Terry Clark\, who co-founded the band with Privett and multi-instrumentalist Carter Gravatt\, converted his garage into the band’s Two-Car Studio\, where they’ve recorded releases for their own Constant Ivy imprint ever since. Carbon Leaf’s DIY spirit even extended to re-recording their three Vanguard albums in order to regain the rights.\n\nDue in September\, Time is the Playground is Carbon Leaf’s first full-length album in a decade\, during which they released two EPS and a 27-song live performance album and Blu-ray. Time is the Playground gathers the best of songs written\, in fits and starts\, over 15 years\, alongside brand new ideas. \n\n“Thinking about these disparate pieces of music\, I began ruminating on time itself\,” Privett recalled. “The band’s been together a long time. You mature a bit and see yourself in place on the timeline … rolling around the scenes of love and growth.”\n\nTime is the Playground will be accompanied by the tireless touring almost synonymous with Carbon Leaf\, who’ve become a model for self-managing bands in the digital landscape.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21817942@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241020T060014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241020T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241020T120000 SUMMARY:Other:Soccer practice!

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621421@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241020T120005 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241020T111100 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241020T121100 SUMMARY:Other:H2O Sunday Service DESCRIPTION:Come join us for praise and worship with students and alumni from UoM at the Rackham Building (4th floor).

Modeled after Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey\, Ulysses is the latest project by the New York City-based theater company Elevator Repair Service\, perhaps best known for Gatz\, its award-winning verbatim staging of the entire text of The Great Gatsby.\n\nBuilding on a rich history of staging modernist texts\, Elevator Repair Service takes on this mammoth work of 21st-century literature (in an abridged version!) for their UMS debut. Seven performers sit down for a sober reading but soon find themselves guzzling pints\, getting in brawls\, and committing debaucheries as they careen on a fast-forward tour through Joyce’s funhouse of styles. With madcap antics and a densely layered sound design\, Elevator Repair Service presents an eclectic sampling from Joyce’s life-affirming masterpiece.

To observe the manifestations of a younger you’s inner life. To be honest\, it’s often cringy and anxiety inducing. With the benefit of hindsight\, our shortsightedness and misplaced fears and hopes seem so obvious. \n\nAs I look back\, ten years later\, to the person I was when I made Ledges\, I see a young man full of ambition and naivety\, desperate for validation and a sense of belonging. I see a boy with a singular vision and a hell of a lot to learn. \n\nThey say you have your whole life to make your first record and 18 months to make your second. Although Ledges isn’t technically my first album\, for all intents and purposes\, it feels like it. It was the one I spent years writing. Some songs were written on a mattress on the floor of a rented room I shared with a friend\, in a run down old house I moved into when I left my folks place at 17. Some I wrote in my first apartment in Seattle. One was written in the early hours of the morning\, waking up on a friend's couch to a simple\, beautiful piano arrangement Abby wrote. One\, after the unexpected heroin overdose that resulted in the death of a friend. Another\, after briefly reigniting an old flame\, only to watch it quickly burn out. \n\nEverything was new back then. The colors were brighter\, the highs higher\, the lows lower. Falling in love felt like the first time. Heartbreak felt like the end of the world. Ideas felt important and the future was a big\, empty canvas.\n\nThere’s a lot of self importance in all of this and ultimately this is just some record that some kid made. But to that kid this record felt like his whole world. And like all records\, it’s a little snapshot in time. And how lucky we are to have snapshots\, photographs of moments and memories that ground us in the reality we’ve lived.\n\nI don’t want to live in the past. But I’m grateful for this marker of how it once was. A little simpler\, a little cleaner\, a whole lot of potential. And maybe that’s a reminder that I’m living in that potential\, right now. This is the future I imagined and hoped for. This is the person I am now. And it’s nice to be able to look back and see how far I’ve come. And if you found this record 10 years ago\, I hope you can listen back with the same gentle hindsight.\n\nVIP ticket includes:\n\nOne General Admission ticket\nPre-show acoustic performance (requests allowed!)\nOpportunity for Q&A with Noah\nAutographed setlist\nExclusive tour poster\, signed by Noah\nCommemorative VIP laminate\nEarly entry to the venue\n\nhttps://www.noahgundersen.com/ UID:122427-21849180@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122427 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Concert,Music,Mutotix LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241020T181542 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241020T193000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Volleyball vs Wisconsin DESCRIPTION:Volleyball vs Wisconsin UID:124786-21853787@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124786 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Volleyball LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241018T181702 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241020T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241020T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:Genki Endo\, taiko DESCRIPTION:As the leader of Yamakiya Taiko\, a group of talented young musicians\, GENKI ENDO brings unmatched energy\, precision\, and passion to every performance.

First we'll be showing the German silent film *The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari* – one of the original silent horror films that explores the dark corners of the psyche through the story of a carnival hypnotist by day who uses his somnambulist partner to commit murders by night! The work is underscored by the incredible string quartet music of composer and pianist STEPHEN PRUTSMAN\, evoking the psychological terror of these twisted visuals through the language of 12-tone technique and aesthetic of the 2nd Viennese School. Post-intermission we'll move on to the original music of that very school\, into the romantically tortured mind of composer ALBAN BERG and his Lyric Suite – a latent opera on its surface\, but actually a secret letter of unrequited love to Hannah Fuchs-Robettin\, Alban Berg's self-proclaimed soulmate. Come join us for this gaze into the dark corners of the human psyche and THERE WILL BE POPCORN!\n\nABOUT TELEGRAPH QUARTET\n\nErin Chin & Joseph Maile\, violins\nPei-Ling Lin\, viola\nJeremiah Shaw\, cello\n\nThe TELEGRAPH QUARTET formed in 2013 with an equal passion for standard and contemporary chamber music repertoire. Described by the *San Francisco Chronicle* as “…an incredibly valuable addition to the cultural landscape” and “powerfully adept… with a combination of brilliance and subtlety\,” the Telegraph Quartet was awarded the prestigious 2016 Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award and the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition. The Quartet is currently the Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Michigan.\n\nThe Quartet has performed in New York City’s Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center\, San Francisco’s Herbst Theatre\, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s *Chamber Masters Series*\, and at festivals including the Chautauqua Institute\, Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival\, and the Emilia Romagna Festival. They have collaborated with pianists Leon Fleisher and Simone Dinnerstein\; cellists Norman Fischer and Bonnie Hampton\; violinist Ian Swensen\; and the St. Lawrence Quartet and Henschel Quartett. A fervent champion of 20th- and 21st-century repertoire\, the Telegraph Quartet has premiered works by Osvaldo Golijov\, John Harbison\, Robert Sirota\, and Richard Festinger.\n\nIn August 2023\, the Telegraph Quartet released its latest album *Divergent Paths*\, the first in a series of recordings titled *20th Century Vantage Points*\, on Azica Records. *Divergent Paths*\, featuring Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major and Schoenberg’s String Quartet No. 1 in D minor\, Op. 7\, follows *Into The Light* (Centaur\, 2018)\, an album highlighting a gripping set of works by Leon Kirchner\, Anton Webern\, and Benjamin Britten.\n\nhttps://smtd.umich.edu/the-telegraph-quartet-begins-three-year-residency-at-smtd/ UID:125087-21854349@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/125087 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Free,Music,North Campus LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Stamps Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241021T180020 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241021T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241021T235959 SUMMARY:Other:2024 MIT Tournament DESCRIPTION:Come compete with us in Poomsae and Sparring at MIT!!

Moran uses silkscreen\, shibori\, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly\, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.\n\nGallery hours: Monday-Friday\, 9 am to 5pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu UID:124224-21852715@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124224 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Free,Graduate Students,North Campus,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240829T141316 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241021T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241021T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Butch Closet DESCRIPTION:In the multi-media installation *The Butch Closet*\, artist Phranc illustrates her life stories as a queer artist\, Jewish lesbian folk singer\, and \"cardboard cobbler.\" By meticulously re-creating personal objects and pieces of clothing out of paper\, cardboard\, thread\, and paint\, she revisits her own history\, contextualizing her experiences as an iconic performer\, and maker\, constructing\, reconstructing\, and re-imagining her image against a larger historical context of second-wave feminism and queer activism.

The influence of weather and climate on water quality can be uneven and unequitable because of the changing climate pattern and its complex relationship with pollutant sources and transport factors over space and time. In this talk\, I will introduce my research on how the interplay of climate change\, watershed development\, and socioeconomic factors influence surface water quality and the associated ecosystem services. I will also introduce how I use a landscape architecture perspective to create a resilient and equitable water environment through possible landscape design and community engagement approaches.

Both poets talk back to Stein\, exposing the racial and gender dynamics embedded in her work. Mullen’s adaptations\, Trimmings (1991) and S*PeRM**KT (1992)\, explore how Stein’s elliptical language fractures objects and objectifies people within the context of racialized capitalism. Morris’s handholding: five kinds (2016) further challenges avant-garde assumptions by revisiting Stein’s Tender Buttons with the nonce form of a handholding poem\, a critical-creative dialogue that simultaneously critiques and re-envisions Stein's work. I explore how Morris\, in particular\, builds upon Mullen’s insights to transform the legacy of Stein’s modernist text\, revealing the racialized undercurrents that inform her aesthetic principles while also positioning herself as a contemporary capable of remaking Stein’s work. By doing so\, Morris demonstrates that reading Stein with double vision — seeing both the original work and the critique layered upon it — transforms not only the text but the act of reading itself.

His acclaimed graphic memoir\, *When Stars Are Scattered*\, co-authored with Victoria Jamieson\, captures his experiences growing up in one of the world’s largest refugee camps with his younger brother\, Hassan. The book provides a vivid\, deeply personal account of life in Dadaab\, portraying the day-to-day challenges of refugee life\, including the pursuit of education\, access to food\, and navigating an uncertain future.\n\n*When Stars Are Scattered* has resonated with readers of all ages\, shedding light on the human side of the global refugee crisis. The book has been praised for its heart-wrenching portrayal of perseverance in the face of hardship. The graphic novel is not only a memoir but a call to empathy\, inviting readers to understand the struggles and hopes of millions of displaced people worldwide. It was a National Book Award Finalist for Young People’s Literature in 2020 and the winner of the Josette Frank Award in 2020. It also won the Walter Dean Myers Award for Young Readers in 2021. It received starred reviews from Booklist\, The Horn Book\, Kirkus Reviews\, Publishers Weekly\, and School Library Journal.\n \nBeyond his writing\, Mohamed is also the founder of Refugee Strong\, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the education and well-being of refugee children living in camps. Refugee Strong provides school supplies\, resources\, and support to ensure that young refugees have the tools they need to succeed despite the challenges they face. Mohamed’s ongoing work with the Dadaab camp\, where he returns regularly\, is a vital part of his mission to give back to the community that shaped his early life. His advocacy continues to inspire\, drawing attention to the global refugee crisis while offering a message of hope for the future.

In his speech titled \"The future problems of mathematics\,\" Hilbert presented (a subset of) his famous list of 23 unsolved problems to be studied in the coming century. Attempts to solve these problems have since resulted in interesting developments throughout mathematics.\n\nThis talk will briefly present some of Hilbert's problems\, their current status\, and broader mathematical developments resulting from them. Since these problems range greatly in the precision of their statement\, it is hard to describe the current status of every single one of them. Furthermore\, depending on how \"resolved\" is defined\, there may be different answers as to whether some of these problems have been resolved. The talk will address this in more detail.\n\nAfter explaining the relevant background (for example\, consistency and decision problems)\, we will study in detail Hilbert's first and tenth problems\, i.e. the continuum hypothesis and the existence of an algorithm to determine whether any diophantine equation has an integer solution. Through these problems\, we will address the notions of independence and undecidability.

The talk will begin with an overall orientation to Kraus's research approach to inequality. From there\, he will describe the theoretical background of this narrative\, highlighting the psychological and structural drivers of the tendency to overestimate racial equality and progress toward achieving it. Along the way he will summarize the state of the evidence in support of racial progress beliefs. Having provided this summary\, he will conclude by discussing some of our emerging efforts to promote more realistic conceptions of racial inequality\, and how narratives of racial progress act as barriers to the actual achievement of racial equity. More about Michael Kraus: www.michaelwkraus.com\n\nThe RCGD Seminar Series on the Social Psychology of Systemic Racism meets Mondays from 3:30 to 5 at ISR Thompson 1430.

This includes the story of the intentional sinking of the unlawful slaving ship Camargo by its captain\, Nathaniel Gordon of the United States. This narrative\, documented by the discovery of written sources\, forms one of the fundamental bases of the community’s past\, identity\, and struggle for rights. Currently\, a group of archaeologists and historians\, in partnership with the quilombola community\, is conducting a research project at the site and exploring new documentary sources while supporting community-led tourism and public history initiatives.\n\nMartha Abreu is a professor of history at Fluminense Federal University\, Brazil whose work focuses on the history of Brazil and the African diaspora in the Americas. She has published numerous books and articles on popular culture\, black music\, cultural heritage\, post-abolition societies\, memory of slavery and race relations. She has also co-produced several documentary films\, exhibitions\, and memory sites on the public history of slavery.\n\nCurrently\, she is cultural director and administrative vice president of AfrOrigens\, a multinational project to recover shipwrecked slave ships and disseminate evidence of enslavement as a crime against humanity. She is also co-creator and manager of a multi-site public history project\, \"Present Pasts: The Memory of Slavery in Brazil\"\; and co-curator of the Museum of the Territory of Little Africa\, Rio de Janeiro for the Museum of Afro-Brazilian History and Culture (MUHCAB).\n\nThis lecture is sponsored by the Aiton Lecture Committee.

Jacob Wallis\, Ambassador (ret.) Susan Ziadeh\, Ambassador (ret.) David Satterfield\, and Ambassador (ret.) Ronald E. Neumann\n\nThe Middle East is again in turmoil. The destructive Palestinian-Israeli struggle has exploded into multiple regional crises. Israeli military exchanges with Hezbollah in Lebanon\, the interruption of Red Sea commerce due to attacks from Houthis in Yemen\, direct Iranian-Israeli bombing \, and the active engagement of US military forces in the region are all part of the regional picture. While most participants appear to want to avoid all-out war\, the region is as close to full scale war as it has been in many years. America stands a high chance of being drawn into direct combat in an expansion\, and the issue already roils US university campuses and the halls of Congress. A single discussion will not probe all aspects of the long-standing conflict\, but it can draw out multiple\, critical threads for examination and discussion. That is the focus of this year’s Ambassadors’ Forum.

It is realized by the so-called \"Radon transform\,\" which categorifies a basic multiplication operation on the finite-dimensional Hecke algebra. In this talk\, we study the affine analogue of Ringel duality\, realized by the affine Radon transform between sheaves on the thin and thick affine flag varieties. Our main tool is Bezrukavnikov's equivalence between two categorifications of the affine Hecke algebra associated to a reductive group\, which can be thought of as a tamely ramified local geometric Langlands correspondence. By understanding how the affine Radon transform functor interacts with various t-structures which appear naturally in Bezrukavnikov's equivalence\, we use this functor to prove a conjecture of Arkhipov-Bezrukavnikov concerning convolution-exact and tilting perverse sheaves which appears in one of the first installments in the series of papers which established Bezrukavnikov's equivalence.

Applied to the Fokas-Its-Kitaev Riemann-Hilbert problem\, this enables the computation of orthogonal polynomials on multiple intervals\, requiring only O(N) arithmetic operations to compute the first N recurrence coefficients. Such recurrence coefficients describe the flow of a semi-infinite Toda lattice\, and expansions in these orthogonal polynomials yield a novel iterative method for solving indefinite linear systems and computing matrix functions\, further yielding a fast algorithm for computing the solutions of Sylvester matrix equations. Other Riemann-Hilbert problems of this form yield finite-genus and soliton gas solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries equation. In particular\, we compute large-genus solutions to simulate dispersive quantization and evaluate soliton gas solutions before asymptotic estimates are valid.

The dancefloor-shaking\, electro-trad glorious combination of folk/pop has brought so much joy to audiences around the world. And now\, even posthumously\, Koady’s energetic fire continues to blaze the musical trail onward.\n\nIt was on January 6\, 2022 that Koady Chaisson of The East Pointers passed away from an unexpected heart aneurysm at 37. Those who were lucky to have been influenced by his creative and generous soul felt like a black hole had suddenly formed where the supernova of Koady’s light had been.\n\nBut before his passing\, Koady\, Tim Chaisson\, and Jake Charron\, had recorded most of the tracks for two new EPs. Unlike any of the The East Pointers’ material to date\, these precious songs are shiny and melodic\, nostalgia-flared\, folk experimental pop but with the same driving trad hooks for which the band has become known and revered.

In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21817943@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241106T063221 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241022T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241022T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Are You LinkedIn?

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621422@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241016T130256 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241022T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241022T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Markups Across the Income Distribution: Measurement and Implications DESCRIPTION:I examine the relationship between customer income and firm markups using rich data on household transactions and wholesale costs. Over the observed purchases\, high-income households pay 15pp higher retail markups than low-income households. Half of the markup gap is due to differences in markups paid at the same store. Conditional on income\, markups paid by a household also increase when a household shops in high-income areas\, shops at retail chains with locations in other high-income areas\, or purchases products with a high-income customer base. A model in which household search intensity depends on opportunity cost of time can account for these facts. Consistent with the model’s predictions\, I document that retail markups across cities rise with both per-capita income and inequality. Through the lens of the model\, changes in the income distribution since 1950 account for a 10–14pp rise in retail markups\, with 30 percent of the increase since 1980 due to growing income dispersion. This rise in markups consists of within-firm markup increases as well as a reallocation of sales to high-markup firms\, which occurs without any change to the nature of firm production or competition.

Conrad is a current graduate student and instructor at UM in the field of Complex Systems.\n\nAbstract\nThis talk will focus mostly on my work on U.S. incomes. I show that U.S. incomes follow a one-parameter family of probability distributions over more than 50 years of data. I compare statistical models of income\, and highlight the inverse-gamma distribution as a parsimonious model that matches data particularly well and has straightforward theoretical interpretations. However\, despite having relatively few parameters\, the inverse-gamma distribution still overfits income data. I establish a linear relationship between parameter estimates\, and a one-dimensional model emerges naturally when I exploit this relationship. I conclude with theoretical remarks about the model and about the Gini coefficient. Time permitting\, I will briefly discuss my other research interests including Nash equilibrium existence and theory of deadlines and procrastination.

Empirical evidence for this hypothesis as it relates to plant chemical defense has been mixed\, and several confounding variables have been suggested to contribute to the inconsistency of results. For example\, because there is no established ‘standard’ method for the quantification or comparison of plant chemicals\, there is substantial methodological variation introduced between studies. In this study\, we disentangle the potentially confounding impacts of chemical methodology as well as plant life history traits on the relationship between chemical defense and latitude using meta-analysis.\nhttp://www.theweberlab.com/ \nhttps://bioio.org/\n\n-- Madelyn Foulkes\, EEB Undergraduate student \nTalk title: How Is Competitive Success Determined between Heterotrophic Bacteria in the Algal Microbiome?\n\nSummary: Chlorella sorokiniana is a crucial pillar of the Laurentian Great Lakes food web and a critical component of water filtration and biogeochemical cycling. Recently there has been an increased interest in studying Chlorella growth by examining interactions in the external microbiome\, which comprises the microbes in the phycosphere that interact with a host organism that can consequently alter host behavior\, fitness\, and enrichment of heterotrophic bacteria. However\, the mechanism behind these interactions has yet to be understood. This project seeks to compare unidirectional and bidirectional relationships between host Chlorella and phycosphere-dwelling bacteria to understand why these species live together\, how competitive success in the microbiome is established\, and the molecular underpinnings that foster these relationships. \n\n-- Will Weaver\, PhD Candidate\, Smith Lab\, GSCA for the Michigan Herbarium\nTalk title: Building an automated specimen label transcription workflow with large language models\n\nSummary: A major challenge in making natural history specimen vouchers findable and accessible is the slow process of manual label transcription. To address this\, VoucherVision automates the extraction and transcription process using OCR\, handwriting recognition\, and vision-based large language models (v-LLMs)\, producing formatted JSON for collections databases. By fine-tuning LLMs and using a system of collaborating agents\, we significantly enhance transcription accuracy and customization for institutional needs. Additionally\, our editing interface helps reduce human-induced errors\, ensuring high-quality transcriptions by preventing issues like hallucinations or omissions.\nhttps://huggingface.co/spaces/phyloforfun/VoucherVision\nhttps://bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajb2.16256\nhttps://michigan.it.umich.edu/news/2024/10/11/digitizing-1-7-million-specimens-at-the-u-m-herbarium-with-ai/\n\n-- Ben Nicholas\, PhD Candidate\, EEB\nTalk title: Shadows of radiations past: did early divergence of the pharyngeal jaw apparatus set the stage for trophic diversification of modern Neotropical cichlids?\n\nSummary: Understanding how continental assemblages have diversified can be difficult as they are products of extinction\, biogeographic rearrangements\, and changing environments over millions of years. Much of our knowledge of adaptive radiations stems from relatively recent\, insular-like systems. However\, increasing evidence supports the idea that adaptive radiations have a major role in hyper diverse continental radiations like Neotropical cichlids. This primarily riverine group has undergone adaptive diversification in many into ecologically\, morphologically\, and behaviorally complex lineages. Surprisingly\, the macroevolutionary patterns of the entire pharyngeal jaw is relatively understudied in Neotropical cichlids. In this study we use µCT scans to characterize the morphological diversity of the entire pharyngeal system across Neotropical cichlids and test for signatures of adaptive radiation.

By examining both iconic performances and little-known plays from the perspective of the stage technologies involved\, this talk reveals the complex and at times surprising ways in which Chinese theater artists and technicians of the 20th century envisioned and enacted their own political and artistic revolutions through the materiality of the theater apparatus.\n \nTarryn Li-Min Chun is Assistant Professor in the Department of Film\, Television\, and Theatre at the University of Notre Dame. Her research focuses on intersections of performance\, technology\, and media in modern and contemporary Sinophone theatre. She is author of \"Revolutionary Stagecraft: Theater\, Technology\, and Politics in Modern China\" (University of Michigan Press\, 2024) and co-editor with Xiaomei Chen and Siyuan Liu of \"Rethinking Socialist Theaters of Reform: Performance Practice and Debate in the Mao Era\" (University of Michigan Press\, 2022). Her work has appeared in Modern Chinese Literature and Culture\, Theatre Journal\, Theatre Survey\, TDR\, and Asian Theatre Journal\, and several edited volumes. She is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship (USA) and other awards.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at chinese.studies@umich.edu.
