SUMMARY:Performance:\"What Remains\" - Dance BFA Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Dance at the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre & Dance presents *What Remains*\, with choreography by senior Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance majors Alexandra Baron\, Audrey DeGuia\, Alyssa Hernandez\, Megan Piagentini\, Olivia Weber\, and Kaitlyn Wilson. 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.

Carlson was a recipient of a 2008 McKnight Fellow\, a 2017 Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors award\, a 2021 Chicago Artadia Award\, and a 2022 United States Artists Fellowship. Carlson is a co-founder of the Center for Native Futures in Chicago. \nHer 2022 UMMA commission\, Future Cache\, is on display at the University of Michigan Museum of Art through November 30\, 2025.

Her works are part of the collections at the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts in Santa Fe\, the Schingoethe Center at Aurora University in Aurora\, IL\, the British Library in London\, and various private collections worldwide.\nFrank Waln (Sicangu Lakota) is an award winning multi-genre music artist\, public speaker and educator from the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Brothers and Uncles\, Kings and Typecutters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the evolution of the printed page through the prism of one remarkable family of scholar-printers. \n\nPrinting changed the speed and scale at which information circulated. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit- Closer: A look at the tiny world around us
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibit featuring the photography of Joseph Ferraro\, free and open to the public at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.\n\n \n\nBIO\n\nJoseph is a conservation photographer living and working in southeast Michigan. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 1): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:Phase 1 Opening Reception: September 18\, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they've curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\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 &amp\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &amp\; 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Adam Ezra Group
DESCRIPTION:Spontaneous roots-based music that makes a connection\n\nWelcome to Adam Ezra Group\, who\, along with nonprofit organization RallySound\, host a free festival every summer that raised $143\,000 for homeless veterans in 2023. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Brothers and Uncles\, Kings and Typecutters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the evolution of the printed page through the prism of one remarkable family of scholar-printers. \n\nPrinting changed the speed and scale at which information circulated. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit- Closer: A look at the tiny world around us
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibit featuring the photography of Joseph Ferraro\, free and open to the public at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.\n\n \n\nBIO\n\nJoseph is a conservation photographer living and working in southeast Michigan. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world.   Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate.  This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present.  Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change.  Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints.  \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Brothers and Uncles\, Kings and Typecutters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the evolution of the printed page through the prism of one remarkable family of scholar-printers. \n\nPrinting changed the speed and scale at which information circulated. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cathy Barry Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Cathy Barry has a profound connection to the natural world\, which has shaped her artistic journey. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Paving the Road for the Next-Generation of tSZ Cluster Cosmology
DESCRIPTION:Galaxy clusters trace the evolution of the initial density perturbations which seeded cosmic structure in our Universe\, making them powerful tools to constrain fundamental cosmological parameters such as dark energy and the fractional energy density of matter. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series on the Science of Social Relationships: Robin Edelstein
DESCRIPTION:Robin Edelstein of the University of Michigan joins the RCGD Seminar Series on the Science of Social Relationships.\n\nIn the media and popular culture\, testosterone is often depicted as a hormone that is critical for seemingly “masculine” behaviors\, such as competition\, sexual prowess\, and physical strength. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:From entropic propagation of chaos to concentration bounds for stochastic particle systems
DESCRIPTION:We shall discuss about weakly interacting stochastic particle systems with possibly singular pairwise interactions. In this setting\, we observe a connection between entropic propagation of chaos (proved by Jabin and Wang\, 2018) and exponential concentration bounds for the empirical measure of the system. In particular\, we will show how to establish a variational upper bound for the probability of a certain rare event\, and then use this upper bound to show that ''controlled\" entropic propagation of chaos implies an exponential concentration bound for the empirical measure.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Mazur's Program B and the geometry of rational points
DESCRIPTION:I'll describe recent progress on Mazur's Program B over Q\, which aims to classify all rational points on all modular curves. Conditional on an effective version of Serre's uniformity conjecture due to Zywina\, we give such a classification. Using our parameterization we try to answer the following question inspired by Ogg: to what extent do rational points on modular curves come from geometry? This is joint work with Maarten Derickx\, Sachi Hashimoto\, and Filip Najman.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gomberg Lecture with Martin Zanni \"Are exciton dynamics in thin films representative of actual solar cells?  Addressing the question using artifact-free ultrafast 2D photocurrent spectroscopy\"
DESCRIPTION:The performance of many photoactive devices is impacted by the dynamics of excitons within the photoactive layer. Typically\, these dynamics are deduced by independently conducted transient absorption measurements on films outside of the device with the assumption that the photophysics in free standing films inform the photophysics of the film inside the device. But there are interfaces in devices that are not present in films and the morphology and atomic packing might be impact by device construction. Moreover\, photoabsorption experiments measure all excitons whereas the best photovoltaic devices are perhaps 20% efficient\, meaning that only 1 in 5 excitons actually produce electricity. Thus\, the conclusions drawn from free standing films might not be directly relevant to devices. This talk will cover results made possible by new advances in ultrafast 2D photocurrent spectroscopy that enable ultrafast exciton dynamics to be directly compared between films and devices. In photovoltaics made from semiconducting carbon nanotubes\, we find that the conclusions drawn from films versus devices are quite different\, leading us to reinterpret long standing experiments and reevaluate our goals for device architecture.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Looking for Women\, Finding Jehanne: Gender and Justice in Late Medieval Dijon
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will share some of the findings from Sara's forthcoming book\, tentatively titled Justice for Jehanne\, Survival Stories from Late Medieval France. Written as a police procedural\, it is also a medieval iteration of the timeless tale of a migrant woman from the countryside who struggled to survive in the big city\, in this case Dijon towards the end of the Middle Ages. At that particular time\, in the second half of the fifteenth century\, in the midst of warfare\, endemic disease\, and political upheaval\, Dijon's municipal authorities investigated all manner of crime and other wrongdoing. Women appeared in these investigations most often as victims or as witnesses\, but also as accused of theft\, violence\, sex crimes\, insults\, and sorcery. Sara's presentation offers an investigation of another kind\, one that asks what we can learn from these legal documents about this one woman’s life\, but also about the interworkings of gender\, religion\, and justice in late medieval society.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:When Resources Meet Relationships: The Returns to Personalized Supports for Low-Income Students
DESCRIPTION:Children from low-income families face persistent educational and economic disadvantages that contribute to long-run earnings gaps. This paper studies Communities in Schools (CIS)\, a program that places coordinators in high-poverty schools to connect struggling students with individualized support. CIS is the largest program of its kind in the U.S.\, serving nearly 2 million students annually. We find that CIS improves test scores\, attendance\, and behavior for struggling students\, and that these gains persist\, leading to higher rates of high school graduation\, college attendance\, and adult earnings. These long-run effects can be closely forecast from changes in short-run outcomes\, with non-cognitive measures playing a central role. CIS delivers returns that compare favorably to other major education interventions\, such as class-size reductions. Our results suggest that programs like CIS—combining traditional school resources with mentorship and social capital—can produce lasting improvements in education and economic mobility for disadvantaged students.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Brothers and Uncles\, Kings and Typecutters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the evolution of the printed page through the prism of one remarkable family of scholar-printers. \n\nPrinting changed the speed and scale at which information circulated. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cathy Barry Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Cathy Barry has a profound connection to the natural world\, which has shaped her artistic journey. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit- Closer: A look at the tiny world around us
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibit featuring the photography of Joseph Ferraro\, free and open to the public at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.\n\n \n\nBIO\n\nJoseph is a conservation photographer living and working in southeast Michigan. 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

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: Listening to Flourish: Harnessing High-Quality Listening to Build Thriving Organizations\nGuy Itzchakov\nTuesday\, November 18\, 2025\n11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required to obtain login information\nOnline\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/JPNZN\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nGood listening isn’t just passive attention\; it is an active tool that shapes how people think\, feel\, and connect. Professor Guy Itzchakov’s research shows that high-quality listening\, marked by focused attention\, accurate understanding\, and a non-judgmental intent\, facilitates profound introspection\, self-disclosure\, and social connection. When employees feel truly heard\, they report higher job satisfaction and performance\, stronger commitment\, and lower burnout and turnover intentions. Experiments also show that being genuinely listened to reduces social defensiveness\, promotes self-reflection\, and can depolarize attitudes and disagreements.  \n\nIn this Positive Links session\, Prof. Itzchakov will share his cutting-edge research and unpack what makes listening “high quality” and why it matters for leaders\, employees\, and practitioners. Drawing on studies from his lab and work with organizations worldwide\, he will explain the components of good listening and demonstrate concrete behaviors that make people feel understood. Join us to learn how high-quality listening builds trust\, liking\, and relationship satisfaction\; how it can bridge ideological divides and spark innovation by reducing defensiveness\; and how to cultivate a listening culture through training and practice. By the end of the session\, you will have research-based tools to foster positive relationships and build organizations where people can thrive. \n\nAbout Itzchakov:\nGuy Itzchakov is an Associate Professor and Department Chair in the Department of Human Services at the University of Haifa\, where he directs the “Interpersonal Listening and Social Influence Lab”. Guy received his PhD in Business Administration from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (2017) and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto (2018).  \n\nHis research focuses on the effects of high-quality listening on listeners’ and speakers’ emotions\, attitudes\, and behaviors\, as well as listening training in organizations. Guy’s research includes laboratory experiments\, field studies\, and listening training studies. The latter examines how listening training programs in organizations impact managers\, employees\, and organizational outcomes. Other research lines include attitudes and persuasion\, attitude ambivalence\, and goal setting.  \n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Oil\, Inflation Expectations\, and Household Characteristics: A Nonlinear Heterogeneous Agent VAR Approach
DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, we develop a scalable micro-macro modeling framework that integrates linear multivariate time series models with nonlinear panel models to investigate to what extent oil supply shocks affect household inflation expectations in the Euro area in a heterogeneous and nonlinear way. We rely on a unique and very rich multi-country micro dataset of quantitative inflation expectations from the European Commission’s monthly business and consumer survey that allows us to construct pseudo individuals based on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. To capture nonlinearities in group-level dynamics\, we explicitly model the responses of our pseudo individuals as nonlinear functions of area-wide macroeconomic aggregates using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART). We find pronounced asymmetries in the response of aggregate inflation expectations to large oil supply shocks and a considerable degree of heterogeneity across countries\, gender\, income\, and age groups. We explore several economic mechanisms to explain cross-country and group-level differences in the adjustment of inflation expectations to oil supply shocks of different magnitude and sign.

SUMMARY:Community Service:2025 Blood Battle: On-Campus Blood Drive
DESCRIPTION:Help U-M Beat Ohio State in the Blood Battle!\n\nJoin us to donate blood and support the 2025 Blood Battle against Ohio State University. The competition runs until November 26\, and every donation counts—U-M is trailing behind\, so your contribution could help us outscore OSU!\n\nWhy donate? College campuses play an important role in building a stronger\, more diverse\, and resilient blood supply—especially through the participation of younger and varied donors. Your donation not only supports patients in need but also adds to U-M’s total in Abbott’s “We Give Blood” Big Ten competition. Family and friends can participate at any blood drive nationwide and report their donations toward our university’s total until December 6. The winning school receives $1 million to support student and community health initiatives.\n\nAll competition aside\, your blood donation directly saves lives and addresses ongoing need. Have questions or want to volunteer at an on-campus Blood Drives United event? Email blooddrivesunited@umich.edu.\n\nLet’s roll up our sleeves\, save lives\, and Go Blue!

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Curiosity as Vice? A Virtuous Approach to Learning in Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Medical training shapes what we know\, but also who we become. Yet too often\, students approach learning with fear\, self-protection and the need to appear certain. Dr. Benjamin Frush invites us to imagine another way — one that views the unknown as opportunity\, knowledge as something to share and humility as a source of strength. Drawing on theologian Paul Griffiths’ distinction between the vice of curiositas and the virtue of studiositas\, Dr. Frush explores how a healthier moral posture toward learning can transform both medical education and patient care. \n\nDr. Benjamin Frush\, MD\, MA\, is a palliative care physician and the McDonald Agape Fellow in Bioethics at the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University. He is a former fellow at the Theology\, Medicine\, and Culture Fellowship at Duke Divinity School\; a current bioethics scholar at the Paul Ramsey Institute\; and a former fellow at the Fellowship at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE). His work in AMA Journal of Ethics\, Perspectives in Biology and Medicine and Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics focuses on virtue\, moral formation and end-of-life care. We first heard him speak at the Conference on Medicine and Religion and knew right away we had to bring him as a speaker. You won’t want to miss this conversation.
