Positioned as a model that will transform healthcare delivery\, the Learning Health System has been steadily adopted since 2007 as a method for aligning interest-holders\, integrating data from clinical research and the electronic health record\, and organizing healthcare improvement work. As the Learning Health System nears 20 years of implementation\, the field is moving from initial demonstrations of feasibility to a concerted focus on conceptual foundations\, including social science approaches to culture\, equity\, and policy. This presentation will provide a brief history of the Learning Health System and a critical consideration of the model’s potential for healthcare systems transformation. Working in the traditions of problem-solving sociology and the real utopias project\, I will draw from ethnographic research and practice-based work to extend the conceptual foundations of the Learning Health System model and discuss how these new foundations can facilitate transformative change.

Many ribbons in nature\, from seed pods to molecular assemblies\, have non-trivial internal geometry\, making them incompatible with Euclidean space. In many cases\, this results in shape transitions between narrow and wide ribbons with the same internal geometry. In this talk\, I will show how to model these bodies mathematically\, discuss the various phenomena they exhibit (and how they are related to the Gauss–Codazzi equations from surface theory)\, and present some recent rigorous results via Gamma convergence (+ open questions). There will be pictures\, there will be theorems\, and hopefully a live experiment. Based on joint work with Sharon\, Siéfert and Levin (modelling and experiments) and Mora (mathematics).\n\nContact: Ian Tobasco UID:135815-21877298@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/135815 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251114T142041 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251114T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251114T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Autotheory Lab\, meeting #3 DESCRIPTION: UID:141464-21888871@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141464 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Angell 3241 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250828T123027 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251114T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251114T163000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bananapocalypse: Un/Making Plantation Capitalism DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Department of Anthropology presents its fall 2025 Roy A. Rappaport Lecture Series\, “Bananapocalypse: Un/Making Plantation Capitalism\,” with Assistant Professor Alyssa Paredes:\n\n“Existential crises hang over the producers of the world’s food. Many of these challenges are self-inflicted. In the banana-growing regions of the Southern Philippines\, which produce fruit for export to Japanese markets\, plantations unleash pesticide drift\, food waste\, water effluent\, and fungal pathogens into the surroundings. The plantocratic elite systematically shirks responsibility for these excesses\, using legal contracts\, scientific conventions\, and standards of trade to frame them as “external” to their supply chains. However\, plantation management is regularly proven wrong in its assumption that the things they try to push downstream will not double back to haunt them. Everyday actors on the plantations’ peripheries transform the devices designed to work against them into openings for intervention. Their efforts implore critical scholars of the environment and of global economies to take seriously the possibility that Big Ag’s increasingly frequent failures to reproduce itself are more than just minor inconveniences to business-as-usual. In this series of lectures\, I trace the afterlives of the externalities that commodity production obscures\, disguises\, or otherwise erases from its ambit of accountability. In so doing\, I offer an ethnographic model for turning the commodity studies model\, inherited from generations of anthropologists\, inside-out.”\n\nRappaport lectures will take place on the following fall Fridays from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in 411 West Hall. They are free and open to the public. \n\nFriday\, Sept. 12\nElses and Externalities: The Un/Making of Plantation Capitalism \n\nFriday\, Oct. 10\nRejects: Food Cosmetic Standards and the Geopolitics of Waste\n\nFriday\, Nov. 14\nEffluent: Living Downstream of Yourself on the Mindanao River\n\nFriday\, Dec. 5\nForce Majeure: The See-Through Plantation\n\nVIRTUAL PARTICIPATION LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91475190155\n\nIf you need accommodations in order to attend\, please email anthro.exec.secretary@umich.edu.\n\nABOUT ASSISTANT PROFESSOR ALYSSA PAREDES\nAlyssa Paredes is an environmental and economic anthropologist with research interests at the intersection of industrial agriculture\, transnational supply chains\, and social mobilization between the Southern Philippines and Japan. Her book manuscript\, tentatively titled “Bananapocalypse: An Ethnography of the Commodity for the 21st Century\,” is under contract with the University of California Press. Additionally\, her work appears in journals in anthropology\, history\, geography\, food studies\, and Asian studies. She is also co-editor of “Halo-Halo Ecologies: The Emergent Environments Behind Filipino Food” (University of Hawaii Press 2025). She holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology from Yale University.

Based on my forthcoming book\, it explores policies that targeted Muslim clothing\, religious practices\, and identities\, revealing how Muslim populations resisted\, complied\, and adapted to authoritarian ideas of modernity.\n\nThe Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan is proud to launch a new lecture series spotlighting the rich multicultural and multilingual traditions of the regions we study and teach.\n\nThe series challenges the field’s longstanding Slavic-centric focus by highlighting historically understudied communities that\, by default—as seen in the very term “Slavic studies” as a common synonym for Eastern European regional studies—have too often been overlooked or excluded. Distinguished scholars will present on these cultures’ histories\, languages\, and artistic contributions.\n\nThis is a hybrid event\, please register here: https://myumi.ch/rAxPn UID:141313-21888572@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141313 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Crees,Discussion,Eastern Europe,Slavic,Talk LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - 3308 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251031T111959 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251114T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251114T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Department Colloquium: Verónica Gómez Sánchez (UC Berkeley) DESCRIPTION:Title: Rational Introjection \n\nAbstract: Michael Strevens coined the term ‘introjection’ for the kind of psychological process that\, in humans\, is normally responsible for the acquisition of new conceptual mental representations. This talk will work toward a theory of the (epistemic) rationality constraints that govern introjection. I will first argue that the discredited ‘definitional’ theory of introjection is a better rational theory of introjection than is usually supposed\, and that it is not superseded by recent Quinean approaches (e.g.\, Carey\, Margolis\, Strevens). I will then propose a variant of the definitional theory\, the ‘referential theory’\, that avoids the main problem for the definitional approach. I end by considering why referential introjection may be a more successful cognitive strategy than non-referential definitional introjection. \n\nAbout Professor Gómez Sánchez:\nVerónica Gómez Sánchez is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at UC Berkeley. Her main research interests are in the metaphysics of science and philosophy of cognitive science. The overarching goal of her current research is to understand how the properties and laws of the special sciences (especially cognitive science) fit into the physical world. She has a special interest in the nature of mental representation and its role in scientific explanation. Verónica got her PhD in Philosophy from Rutgers University and my BA from Universidad de los Andes. Before coming to Berkeley\, she was a Bersoff Faculty Fellow at NYU.

In this talk\, I will discuss how these fluctuations can be revealed through scattering waves off the black hole. In particular\, we find that extremely cold black holes become transparent to low-frequency light or gravitational radiation. These effects provide concrete signatures of quantum gravity at play in near-extremal regimes.

As a consequence of this relation\, certain monomials are equal\, such as DUUD and UDDU. We characterize all such equalities over a field of characteristic 0\, describing them in several ways\, including operationally (by a combinatorial equivalence relation generated by certain moves) and computationally (through lattice path invariants). We also enumerate the equivalence classes and several variants thereof and discuss possible extensions to other algebras.

They provide diverse and complex aquatic ecosystems\, unique aesthetic appeal\, and readily accessible freshwater sources to societal use. Although considered “lentic” (hydrologically stationary)\, lakes are often highly dynamic and are an integrated component of the global drainage system. They interact with river discharge\, groundwater fluxes\, and glacial mass balances\, and function as both “sentinels” and “regulators” of climatic and environmental changes. A substantial proportion of the global lakes are also manmade reservoirs\, which regulate natural streamflow and affect downstream water supply and sediment regimes. Tracking the dynamics of lake water storage is fundamental to understanding the spatiotemporal disparity in global freshwater resources\, which is essential for addressing the increasing challenge in water security during the Anthropocene.\n\nThis seminar will provide a global perspective on the abundance and recent (decadal-scale) changes of lake water resources\, as well as their implications to catchment hydrology\, lacustrine management\, and broader societal impacts. The seminar will identify the latest advances in data infrastructure for global lake monitoring\, and will discuss the importance and challenges of data and method synergy from multi-mission Earth-observing satellites\, including the newly launched Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission. The recent global lake dynamics will be attributed to primary driving mechanisms including anthropogenic climate change\, climate variability\, and direct human water consumption and managements. Hotspots such as arid hinterlands and High Mountain Asia will be highlighted to further illustrate the essential roles of lake water resources for regional water security and a holistic understanding of the global hydrological cycle under climate change.

The Armenian Woman\, Minoritarian Agency\, and the Making of Iranian Modernity\, 1860–1979 DESCRIPTION:With this book\, Houri Berberian and Talinn Grigor offer the first history of Armenian women in modern Iran. Foregrounding the work of Armenian women's organizations\, the authors trace minoritarian politics and the shifting relationships among doubly minoritized Armenian female subjects\, Iran's central nodes of power\, and the Irano-Armenian patriarchal institutions of church and political parties.\n \nEngaging broader considerations around modernization\, nationalism\, and feminism\, this book makes a conceptually rich contribution to how we think about the history of women and minoritized peoples. Berberian and Grigor read archival\, textual\, visual\, and oral history sources together and against one another to challenge conventional notions of \"the archive\" and transform silences and absences into audible and visual presences. Understanding minoritarian politics as formulated by women through their various forms of public and intellectual activisms\, this book provides a groundbreaking intervention in Iran's history of modernization\, Armenian diasporic history\, and Iranian and Armenian feminist historiography.\n \nAUTHOR BIOS\n \n Houri Berberian is Professor of History\, Meghrouni Family Presidential Chair in Armenian Studies\, and Director of the Center for Armenian Studies at the University of California\, Irvine. Her research focuses on late nineteenth/early twentieth-century Armenian history\, especially revolutionary movements and women and gender. Her books include *Armenians and the Iranian Constitutional Revolution of 1905-1911: The Love for Freedom Has No Fatherland* (2001)\; and the multiple award-winning *Roving Revolutionaries: Armenians and the Connected Revolutions in the Russian\, Iranian\, and Ottoman Worlds* (2019)\; and *Reflections of Armenian Identity in History and Historiography* (2018)\, coedited with Touraj Daryaee. Her most recent book\, for which she has received grants from the Persian Heritage Foundation\, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation\, and the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research\, is *The Armenian Woman\, Minoritarian Agency\, and the Making of Iranian Modernity* (2025)\, coauthored with Talinn Grigor.\n \n Talinn Grigor is Professor of Art History in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of California\, Davis. Her research focuses on 18th- to 20th-century architectural and art histories through postcolonial\, race\, feminist\, and critical theories grounded in Iran\, Armeno-Iran\, Armenia\, and Parsi India. Her books include the winner of the Saidi-Sirjani Book Award\, *The Persian Revival* (2021)\, *Contemporary Iranian Art* (2014)\, *Building Iran* (2009)\, and *Persian Kingship and Architecture* (2015)\, coedited with Sussan Babaie. Grigor has received fellowships from the National Gallery of Art\, Getty Research Institute\, Cornell’s Humanities Center\, Princeton’s Persian Center\, MIT’s Aga Khan Program\, SSRC\, and Persian Heritage and Calouste Gulbenkian foundations. Her last book is coauthored with Houri Berberian\, *The Armenian Woman*\, *Minoritarian Agency*\, and the *Making of Iranian Modernity\, 1860–1979 *(2025). Her current book project\, *The Hyphenated Architect*\, examines the pivotal role of ethnically Armenian architects and artists in the proliferation of the Modern Movement in West Asia.\n\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

However\, in many supply chains in LMICs\, producers do not sell directly to the world market\; instead\, they sell through multiple layers of domestic intermediation. We study how these chains of intermediation affect incentives for quality production in the context of the Uganda coffee supply chain. We first map out the supply chain linking farm gate and export gate\, documenting that coffee changes hands\, on average\, two times before reaching export markets. Next\, leveraging high-frequency transaction-level data throughout the supply chain\, including prices and lab quality assessments\, we show that quality premium diminishes upstream. We build a model highlighting two key economic mechanisms that may drive these diminished quality premia upstream. First\, barriers to entry to high-quality intermediation enable greater buyer power in the high-quality segment\; resulting differential markdowns squeeze the quality premium upstream. Second\, both producers and intermediaries engage in quality investments\, with the degree of substitutability of these investments mediating the downstream’s demand for high quality from the upstream. Both mechanisms have distributional implications for farmer surplus\, but only the former dampens aggregate quality production. To separately quantify the two\, we conduct an experiment that offers randomized coffee production contracts to induce quality-specific demand shocks throughout the supply chain to identify the key cost parameters of our model. We use the estimated model to examine the efficiency implications and distributional consequences of market power and productive substitutability\, as well as how they interact to affect quality production and surplus distribution along the chain. Finally\, we apply the model to investigate policy counterfactuals.

In this talk\, I will discuss random quotients of certain classes of groups. Quotients of hyperbolic groups (groups that act geometrically on a hyperbolic space) and their generalizations have long been a powerful tool for proving strong algebraic results. I will focus on random quotients of acylindrical and hierarchically hyperbolic groups (HHGs)\, two generalizations of hyperbolic groups that include mapping class groups\, most CAT(0) cubical groups including right-angled Artin and Coxeter groups\, many 3–manifold groups\, and various combinations of such groups. In this context\, I will explain why a random quotient of an HHG that does not split as a direct product is again an HHG\, definitivelyshowing that the class of HHGs is quite broad. I will also describe how the result can also be applied to understand the geometry of random quotients of hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic groups. This is joint work with Dan Berlyne\, Giorgio Mangioni\, Thomas Ng\, and Alexander Rasmussen.

Tickets are free\, available at the door starting at 6:30 pm.\n \n*The Weight of Absence*\, a group work by Megan Piagentini\, progresses through two distinct phases. The first situates viewers in a dystopian landscape where faceless\, grieving bodies loop through numbing routines\, grasping for connection that leaves them unsatisfied. The second part shifts to a more elemental\, raw portrayal of humanity. The choreography allows for genuine connections and emotional vulnerability through love\, grief\, and anger. At its core\, the piece is a reminder of shared anatomy and mutual longing to love and be loved.\n\n*when the snow melts*\, a group work by Alyssa Hernandez in collaboration with dancers\, explores themes of human nature\, survival\, and vulnerability. Inspired by time in Vancouver\, BC\, Hernandez reflects on the periodic wildfires throughout the Canadian Rockies\, where wildflowers bloom amid devastation. The resilience in nature becomes a metaphor for human behavior\, relationships\, and the consequences of our actions\, forming a thought-provoking exploration for dancers and audiences alike.\n\n*Superposition*\, a group dance by Audrey DeGuia\, explores the intersection of science and spirituality through time\, space\, and the universe. Inspired by quantum theory and Carl Sagan’s idea that “We are the universe experiencing itself\,” the choreography reflects on infinite possibility and interconnectedness. Through stylized movement and interpersonal partner work\, the dancers embody the idea that the body is not just moving through space\, but is space itself- unfolding and transforming as the dancers move.\n\n*GREEN HOUSE*\, a group work created by Kaitlyn Wilson (in collaboration with dancers)\, highlights the degradation of human relationship to the environment\, leading to the environmental catastrophe we live in today. Interaction between bodies\, as well as to the space\, investigates how our relationship to nature can be restored to ensure a sustainable and connected future. The performance experience\, set to sound design by Luka Pierson\, highlights the need to rebuild not only connections to the natural environment but also rebuild community.\n\n*After Midnight*\, a contemporary group dance by Alexandra Baron\, delves into the imaginative space that emerges in the stillness of night\, where the curiosity of memory\, the awakening of imagination\, and reality collide. Drawing inspiration from the quiet creativity of late hours\, the work weaves together surreal imagery\, fluid movement\, and striking ensemble dynamics. Baron’s choreography explores remembered moments that resurface within the shadows\, blurring lines between reality and reflection.\n\n*Reflection Reclaimed*\, a group work by Olivia Weber\, explores the complex relationship dancers have with body image\, shaped by years of consistently training in front of the mirror - a tool meant for refinement\, but often used for negative self-judgement. The choreography traces the emotional journey from comparison\, insecurity\, and self-worth to acceptance and empowerment. This dance communicates and reflects on the silent battle dancers face to meet unrealistic standards both inside the dance world and in society.

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.

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. My focus is exploring the world of invertebrates and showcasing these creatures in their natural habitat.\n\nMy creative process has evolved into a moving mediation\, as I Slow down to observe\, document and connect with my subjects as we interact in the environment. Ultimately\, I seek to capture the unique beauty of creatures not usually perceived as beautiful and aim to create images that evoke emotion and curiosity. In so doing I strive to raise awareness of the importance of these creatures in our world and dispel any fears the viewer may have.\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josephferraro/\n\nWeb: https://www.joseph-ferraro.com UID:141375-21888736@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141375 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Free,garden,matthaei,matthaei botanical gardens,Sustainability,Visual Arts LOCATION:Matthaei Botanical Gardens CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250930T125646 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251115T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251115T160000 SUMMARY:Tours:Saturday Open House DESCRIPTION:Make the Observatory part of your weekend!

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.

During the pandemic\, Adam live-streamed for 500 nights in a row. The group co-produced an album with 163 fans\, and Adam takes a month out of each year to visit the living rooms of his fans around the country.\n\nIf you haven’t connected with Adam Ezra Group yet\, these are just a few examples to help understand how this underground\, Americana songwriter and his bandmates seem to have popped out of nowhere\, establishing a connection with their fans unlike any other\, and are suddenly selling out theaters throughout the Northeast. \nAdam Ezra will joke with you that while the “nowhere” part might be accurate\, nothing has ever just “popped” for this folk musician\, activist. Without resources\, connections\, or any kind of clue how the music world works\, Ezra began playing shows over 20 years ago. He played bars\, bookstores\, fields\, and parking lots\, often raising money for causes he cared about\; a practice that grew into his nonprofit organization RallySound. \n\nSo how did this band operating so far outside the traditional music world come to win New England Music Award’s “Americana Act of the Year” in 2023? What could have happened to inspire John Oates to call Adam and invite him to begin a songwriting friendship that would lead to John producing their upcoming release and co-write\, “Hold Each Other Now”? What happened to catch the attention of The Wallflowers\, who recently invited AEG to join them on their spring tour\, or SPIN Magazine who recently proclaimed\, “This Independent Underground Folk Band Is Blowing Up Without Selling Out”? \n\nIf you ask Adam\, he’ll tell you: “One person at a time\, over many years and thousands of shows\, decided to turn their heads to listen… It’s no fairytale\, but it sure makes me proud and humbled when I look out from the stage to watch theaters full of people singing along to our music.”\n\nThese days you’ll find Adam and his bandmates\, Corinna Smith (Fiddle)\, Poche Ponce (Bass)\, and Alex Martin (Percussion)\, constantly out on the road. If you look at their tour schedule now\, you can buy tickets to see them at festivals\, rock venues\, and theaters around the country\, but you will also see their tour continuously peppered with activism and grassroots events\; a testament to an artist who will never forget where he came from\, and whose mission is about much more than music.

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.

My focus is exploring the world of invertebrates and showcasing these creatures in their natural habitat.\n\nMy creative process has evolved into a moving mediation\, as I Slow down to observe\, document and connect with my subjects as we interact in the environment. Ultimately\, I seek to capture the unique beauty of creatures not usually perceived as beautiful and aim to create images that evoke emotion and curiosity. In so doing I strive to raise awareness of the importance of these creatures in our world and dispel any fears the viewer may have.\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josephferraro/\n\nWeb: https://www.joseph-ferraro.com UID:141375-21888720@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141375 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Free,garden,matthaei,matthaei botanical gardens,Sustainability,Visual Arts LOCATION:Matthaei Botanical Gardens CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251030T110308 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251116T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251116T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scientist Spotlight DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, November 16\, 2025\n11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.\n\nOnly for the curious!

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.

The next-generation instrument on the South Pole Telescope\, SPT-3G\, has enabled the production of the deepest\, mm-wave detected galaxy cluster sample to date over the 100 deg² SPT-Deep survey. With 442 optically confirmed clusters at a median redshift of 0.74 and a median mass of 1.7 x 10¹⁴ M⊙\, this cluster sample provides the first look into a new regime of cluster populations accessible for cluster cosmology. One key astrophysical contaminant for mm-wave cluster cosmology is emission from star-forming galaxies as it is spatially correlated with the negative thermal Sunyaev–Zel’dovich signal used to detect galaxy clusters\; this can alter the cluster selection function—particularly for low-mass\, high-redshift systems—and potentially bias recovered cosmological parameters. For the first time\, the magnitude of this contamination at high-redshift has been quantified with combined data from SPT and Herschel SPIRE\, and we find that the tSZ signal is mitigated by dust at high-redshift (z > 1) by 4% at 95GHz\, and 18% at 150GHz. However\, we find that SPT’s 220GHz band provides sufficient leverage on dust emission to prevent this contamination from significantly impacting the cluster selection function over the mass and redshift range probed in this work. This marks an important step for validating the cluster selection function for the full forthcoming SPT-3G 1500d cluster sample that will be used for the next-generation of cluster cosmology measurements.

Based on such characterizations\, one might assume that testosterone only matters for men\, and that\, at least for men\, the more testosterone the better. In actuality\, however\, the story is more complicated: First\, testosterone is important for both men and women. Second\, although there are certainly many benefits of high(er) testosterone\, including for attracting and securing sexual partners\, lower testosterone may in fact be more beneficial for maintaining close relationships—including with romantic partners and children. In this talk\, Robin Edelstein will present work from her lab on testosterone and relationship processes in romantic and parent-child relationships. Taken together\, this work demonstrates that (a) in both men and women\, testosterone declines as a function of partnering and parenting\, (b) lower testosterone facilitates ongoing nurturant relationship processes\, and (c) testosterone matters not only for one’s own relationship outcomes but also those of one’s partner.\n\nDr. Robin Edelstein is a social/personality psychologist with expertise in close relationships\, parent-infant and adult romantic attachment\, and social neuroendocrinology. Her work is motivated by a desire to understand how important emotional and interpersonal processes\, which are typically assumed to apply to all people\, may instead differ across people in meaningful ways. Dr. Edelstein is particularly interested in understanding how close relationship experiences (e.g.\, interactions with romantic partners\, major relationship transitions) get “under the skin” to influence people’s physiology\, as well as how people’s physiology can influence their relationship outcomes. She also studies individual differences in people’s approaches to and experiences in close relationships\; how these differences develop and change over time and across the lifespan\; and the implications of these differences for interpersonal and physiological outcomes. Dr. Edelstein received her Ph.D. in Social/Personality Psychology from the University of California\, Davis. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California\, Irvine\, she joined the faculty at the University of Michigan\, where she is currently a Professor of Psychology in the Personality and Social Contexts area.\n\nAbout the series:\n\nHumans are social animals and from the earliest days of life\, are dependent on the quality of social relationships with significant others: family\, kin\, friends\, and a growing social network of online acquaintances. But\, how do we conduct research and come to understand the social processes transpiring in these significant social connections with others? What are the consequences for individual development and mental health outcomes of having close intimate relationships in one’s life? There is also a darker side to some relationships in the form of violence\, aggression\, and conflict. How do we study these processes? Social media and artificial intelligence have opened up new ways of thinking about “what is a social relationship?” and how many of these “friends” can one truly have.\n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on different types of social relationships\, spanning family and parent-child relationships\, friendships\, peer networks\, romantic relationships\, attachment relationships\, and the use of online media to maintain social connections. Although several speakers are senior scholars with extensive research backgrounds in the field\, many are junior scholars who are traversing new paths into the science of social relationships. Please join us Mondays to learn more about the exciting field of social relationships!\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Brenda Volling and Richard Gonzalez.\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.
