Words and phrases\, emoticons and emojis\, pronouns in bios\, tattoos and piercings\, skin color and eye shape\, flags and insignia\, diplomas and certificates\, standardized test scores\, and prices in markets — these are all carriers of information demanding attention and interpretation. We attach meanings to these messages\, and they shape our actions in ways large and small. This lecture is motivated by the conviction that something useful can be said about economic and social life if one examines signals — despite their bewildering variety and complexity — from a unified perspective\, with a focus on statistical inference and strategic incentives.\n\nRajiv Sethi is a Professor of Economics at Barnard College\, Columbia University and an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute. He is a 2025-26 fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford University. Rajiv was a 2020-21 Joy Foundation Fellow at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute\, and a 2008-09 Richard B. Fisher Member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Professor Sethi has served on the editorial boards of several journals\, including the American Economic Review\, and is a founding associate editor of Collective Intelligence.\n\n His current research deals with information and beliefs.\n\nIn collaboration with Brendan O’Flaherty\, he has examined the manner in which stereotypes affect interactions among strangers\, especially in relation to crime and the criminal justice system. These include interactions between victims and offenders\, officers and suspects\, prosecutors and witnesses\, and judges and defendants. Their book\, Shadows of Doubt: Stereotypes\, Crime\, and the Pursuit of Justice was published by Harvard University Press in 2019.\n\nWith Muhamet Yildiz\, he has explored communication among individuals who consider each other to have valuable information\, but also believe that others are biased to different degrees in the manner in which they process information. In deciding where to seek information\, therefore\, people face a trade-off between sources that are well-informed (in the sense of having precise information about the world) and those that are well-understood (in the sense of having transparent biases). In previous work they have examined public disagreement and private information flows\, and in current work are exploring the implications of correlated biases within social groups.\n\nRajiv is a contributor to CORE (Curriculum Open-Access Resources for Economics)\, an initiative aimed at the production of high-quality resources for the teaching of economics\, distributed free of charge worldwide under a Creative Commons license.

The most general framework for such settings\, the partially observable MDP\, is statistically intractable. What structure makes learning tractable despite the latent variables?\n\nThis work identifies a common structural pattern across four distinct settings: the latent variable's influence is confined to one part of the data-generating process\, and within that part it acts through a low-dimensional or low-complexity channel. We study this pattern in mixtures of MDPs\, confounded offline policy evaluation\, RLHF with partially observed reward states\, and linear latent contextual bandits. In each case\, we establish impossibility results showing what fails without the right assumptions\, then develop algorithms that exploit the structure through spectral subspace recovery\, decoupled estimation\, and optimism calibrated to the latent channel's complexity. The resulting regret bounds\, sample complexity bounds\, and structural characterizations scale with the dimension of the latent channel rather than the ambient problem\, and are matched by minimax lower bounds in key settings. We validate our methods on both synthetic and real-world data.

Applications for these diminutive devices span several disciplines\, including healthcare\, environmental monitoring\, exploration\, and industrial inspection. However\, scaling laws fundamentally constrain the design of microrobotic systems\, particularly in how they store energy\, deliver power\, and perform mechanical work. As robots shrink\, conventional actuators struggle to generate meaningful forces. The limited energy density of microbatteries leaves many platforms tethered to external energy sources.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present a new class of combustion-driven microactuators that leverage the high energy density of chemical fuels to produce rapid\, high-power mechanical motion at millimeter scales. I will show how these actuators enable microrobots that jump far beyond their body length (2 orders of magnitude)\, perform aerial maneuvers\, traverse challenging terrain\, and drive mechanical transmissions that convert linear actuation into rotary motion. Together\, these results point toward a new class of highly energetic\, untethered microrobotic systems capable of operating where conventional actuation and power technologies fail.\n\nBiography:\nCameron Aubin is an Assistant Professor of Robotics at the University of Michigan\, where he leads the Zoetic Robotics Laboratory. He received his B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University (2014) and his M.S (2020) and Ph.D. (2023) in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University. His interdisciplinary team develops energy-material systems that blur the line between power\, structure\, actuation\, and control\, enabling more enduring\, adaptable\, and autonomous machines. Dr. Aubin’s research interests include soft and biologically inspired robots\, microrobots\, chemical and combustion-powered systems\, batteries\, and advanced materials and manufacturing. His work has been published in several reputable journals\, including Nature and Science\, and has been featured in popular media outlets\, including CNN\, PBS\, BBC\, Wired\, and Veritasium. Recent honors include a Best Paper Award in Benchmarking and Reproducibility and a Best Student Paper Finalist Award (as PI) at IEEE RoboSoft 2025.

One of the clearest observational signatures of these winds appears in broad absorption line (BAL) quasars\, whose spectra show deep\, blueshifted absorption features tracing gas traveling at tens of thousands of kilometers per second. Despite decades of study\, the physical properties of BAL winds have remained poorly understood due to the complexity of their spectra. In this talk\, I will present an overview of my research using BAL quasars to map the physical properties of SMBH winds\, enabled by SimBAL\, a spectral synthesis software that made possible the first systematic analysis of BAL quasar spectra and provided robust constraints on outflow properties for large samples of quasars. I will also discuss new discoveries of high-redshift BAL quasars from surveys such as DESI and future studies with JWST and 4MOST that will expand our understanding of SMBH outflows across cosmic time.\n\n\nCody’s Title: How Galactic Winds Influence Cosmic Ecosystems\n\nAbstract: A central insight of modern galaxy formation is that galaxies are not isolated systems\, but dynamic reservoirs of gas and stars that continuously exchange matter and energy with their surroundings. Galactic winds—driven by stellar and AGN feedback—can expel hundreds of solar masses of gas\, dust\, and metals to distances of tens of kiloparsecs\, reshaping the structure and thermodynamics of the circumgalactic and intergalactic media. These winds regulate star formation\, curb black hole growth\, and may play a critical role in enabling the escape of ionizing radiation that reionized the Universe during the Epoch of Reionization. In this talk\, I will discuss how the physical properties of galactic winds—including mass outflow rates—are inferred from spectral line diagnostics\, the current state of the art in radiative transfer modeling and interpretation\, and key systematic uncertainties that remain. I will then explore how winds influence the escape of ionizing photons by altering the multiphase structure of the interstellar medium. Finally\, I will outline future directions for this work and describe how next-generation facilities such as the Extremely Large Telescopes will transform absorption line studies of galactic winds.

Nevertheless\, constructing initial data for this family of matter models is surprisingly nuanced. In this talk we describe a novel approach to building Einstein-fluid initial data based on a recently established phase-space technique for constructing non-vacuum initial data sets. Compared to prior approaches to working with fluids\, the input parameters allow for more direct specification of physical quantities\, such as the number of particles in any given region.

Yet\, filtering through this dominant discourse are subaltern scripts that register nostalgia for particular pasts when\, even under colonial tutelage\, Amazigh groups felt recognized and effectively acted as self-determining agents of their own history making. In this paper\, I draw on my research in southeastern Morocco to explore how Amazigh activists narrate the colonial past and memorialize martial masculine resistance and collaboration within it.\n\nPaul A.

Monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) offer an appealing platform to harness such polarizations. TMDs host excitons in valley-shaped regions of their band structure\, featuring well-defined carrier spins and obeying chiral optical selection rules. However\, the technological potential of excitons in TMDs is impeded by rapid spin–valley relaxation.\n\nI will present our theoretical/computational efforts to address and enhance spin–valley polarizations in TMDs through strong coupling to photons. Recognizing that chiral light is a manifestation of photonic spin\, I will show such strong coupling to allow for efficient spin transduction through the formation of \"chiral polaritons\". I will furthermore show how a breaking of chiral symmetry in optical cavities allows valley–spin relaxation to be suppressed in embedded TMDs.\n\nI will also discuss our efforts to unravel how spin–valley relaxation in TMDs is driven by lattice phonons. Towards this goal\, my group has advanced nonadiabatic methodologies that allow delocalized phonon modes and topological effects to be incorporated within a mixed quantum–classical framework. Results for TMDs indicate this approach to enable the modeling of solid-state phonon-driven processes at realistic dimensionalities.

His research centers on the intellectual\, political\, and religious history of the Roman Empire and the early Byzantine Empire. He is the author of seven books and the editor of five more\, including The Final Pagan Generation (UC Press\, 2015)\, Hypatia: The Life and Legend of an Ancient Philosopher\, (Oxford University Press\, 2017)\, Mortal Republic: How Rome Fell into Tyranny (Basic Books\, 2018)\, and The Eternal Decline and Fall of Rome: The History of a Dangerous Idea (Oxford University Press\, 2021). His most recent book\, The Romans: A 2000 Year History (Basic Books\, 2025)\, traces the history of the Roman state from the 8th century BC through 1204 AD. His work has also been featured in Time\, Vox\, Smithsonian\, the Economist\, the Wall Street Journal\, the San Francisco Chronicle\, British Museum Magazine\, and the New York Times. Before coming to UCSD in 2012\, Professor Watts taught for ten years at Indiana University. He teaches courses on Byzantine History\, Roman History\, Late Antique Christianity\, Roman numismatics\, and the history of the Medieval Mediterranean. \n\nThe Roman citizen body lived an almost inconceivably long life. Between the 8th century BC and the 15thcentury AD\, nearly 100 generations of Romans superintended a political legacy they had inherited from their ancestors and handed down to their children. Nearly every element of Roman life changed during those two millennia. The state expanded from a hilltop settlement into a massive empire. Its center moved from Italy to Constantinople. Its dominant language changed from Latin to Greek. Its weaponry evolved from iron swords and bronze spears to Greek fire and gunpowder. It incorporated countless new gods before ultimately becoming Christian. And yet the thread linking the Roman present to its past never snapped. For all of their history\, Romans used this past to help understand their world and determine the contours of its future. Tradition served as a governor on the pace of necessary change.\n\nThis Thomas Spencer Jerome lecture series introduces the idea of Roman interchronological history to explain how Romans found and maintained this balance between innovation and tradition. Interchronological history recognizes that Roman scholastic\, social\, familial\, and religious traditions created situations in which Romans in the present spoke the words and felt the feelings of figures from the real or imagined past. These ancient situations encouraged people to connect personally and emotionally with figures from the past and made it natural to see in the past a set of frameworks that allowed one to both understand the present and imagine possible futures that might result from it. \n\nThese lectures explain how Roman educational\, family\, religious\, and literary culture produced this way of interpreting the present and imagining the future through deep engagement with the past. They will then show how an interchronological approach to Roman history expands our understanding of everything from the political power of Roman women to the nature of Iconoclasm and the surprising durability of the Roman bond market. By their conclusion\, the lectures will point to new ways to answer questions about the Roman past and suggest non-Roman contexts in which this historical method can also be applied.\n \nProfessor Watts will present four lectures and one seminar between March 9 and 19\, 2026: \n\n• What is Interchronological Roman History? Monday\, March 9\, 5:30 pm\, Hussey Room\, Michigan League\nThis lecture reconstructs an interchronological historical method based on how Romans were educated and socialized to connect with the words\, experiences\, and feelings of people in their shared past in a fashion that ensured their reactions in the moment and plans for the future remained connected to the traditions of the past.\n\n• Interchronological History and the Political Power of Roman Women\, Thursday\, March 12\, 5:30 pm\, Hussey Room\, Michigan League\nUsing an interchronological approach\, this lecture shows how literature\, public commemorations\, and monuments encouraged Romans of both genders to recognize the political power of Roman women by speaking the words of female political exemplars\, feeling their emotions\, and understanding the circumstances surrounding their political interventions. \n\n• Classical Studies Graduate Student Seminar: Containerization and the Creation of Interchronological Spaces in Imperial Rome\, Friday\, March 13\, 12:00 pm \nThis seminar will look at how the creators and sponsors of a series of monuments in Rome curated space to generate an experience that joined the present in which the monument was unveiled with elements of the past to define a transition to a promised future. Using the theory of artistic containerization\, we will see how each space was designed to showcase elements of the Roman past in a way that channeled specific themes important to both the present identity of the monument’s sponsor and a future they were promising to deliver.\n\n• An Interchronological Approach to Roman Religion and Political History Monday\, March 16\, 5\;30 pm\, Vandenberg Room\, Michigan League\nThis lecture explains how an interchronological history of Roman religion and politics can help us understand why this basic understanding of the role of the divine in shaping the tangible realities of Roman life persisted as Roman religion evolved from the practices of a small pagan city state into those of a large Christian empire.\n\n• The Failures of Justin II and the Case for Interchronological Roman Macroeconomic History\, Thursday\, March 19\, 5:30 pm\, Hussey Room\, Michigan League \nThis uses an interchronological comparative framework to reconstruct the institutional history of Roman finance and macroeconomics in order to explain how the sixth century emperor Justin II inadvertently crippled Rome's nearly 800-year-old financial system.

Through journaling\, meditation\, mindfulness\, and creative expression\, he shows how to turn vision into action and step into full potential\, from deepening relationships to achieving career success.\n\nListening to How To Be Free\, audiences learn to transform setbacks into comebacks\, discover sustainable joy\, cultivate composure under pressure\, turn vulnerability into strength\, break cycles of grief and shame\, protect their energy while supporting others\, and create a personal blueprint to true freedom.

For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\" UID:146980-21900135@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260227T120209 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260313T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260313T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

In this story world hybrid cultural practices and alternative spiritual modes develop from embodied traditions in response to the changing physical and cultural landscape of Southwest Asia in a future where technological catastrophe has severed global communications and erased digital archives. The multi-ethnic society of Azadistan takes shape through installations\, objects\, texts and performances manifesting the multiplicity of Aremenian-ness through the dimensions of a complicated past and its potential for a vibrant\, evolving futurity.\n\nCosponsor: Institute for the Humanities UID:143403-21893078@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143403 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Area Studies,Armenian Studies,Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250926T163836 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260313T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260313T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Leadership and Culture: Strategies to Prevent Workplace Issues DESCRIPTION:Course details and registration are available on the Organizational Learning website.

Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

I argue that causal structure provides a principled way to address these challenges. By viewing causal assumptions as structural constraints that restrict the space of plausible data-generating processes\, we can leverage them to obtain more robust and efficient estimators.\nFirst\, I will show how causal reasoning can be used to detect strategic misreporting and gaming in predictive models. The key insight is that\, unlike genuine behavioral adaptation\, misreporting does not causally influence downstream variables. By leveraging this asymmetry\, we obtain identification strategies that distinguish manipulation from legitimate change.\nSecond\, I will demonstrate how exploiting causal structure in reinforcement learning can reduce effective dimensionality and improve statistical efficiency. Structural assumptions induce conditional independencies that constrain the data-generating process\, enabling more stable estimation and sharper sample complexity guarantees.\nFinally\, I will introduce minimally orthogonal causal inference. While classical orthogonalization removes first-order sensitivity to nuisance estimation\, we show that weaker\, targeted orthogonality conditions are often sufficient for valid inference. This perspective leads to simpler estimators and improved finite-sample behavior without sacrificing asymptotic guarantees.

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:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

Our key goals are to offer new and varied perspectives for graduate students to harness in their own dissertation work on American political institutions\; encourage conversations that breed new research ideas\; and spur innovative collaborations among our participants. AIG participants are scholars in political science\, public health\, social work\, public policy\, and economics interested in examinations of American political institutions from the perspective of these disciplines.\n\nFaculty Coordinators: Charles R.

It mutates\, reappearing through contemporary institutions\, political discourses\, and racial hierarchies\, complicating any clean break between colonial and postcolonial eras. Ann Laura Stoler’s concept of duress captures this ongoing condition: colonial power persists as a lived\, material\, and affective force\, embedded in social life even when presumed to be over.\n\nRacialized and minoritized communities actively confront and reshape these postcolonial conditions. In France\, for example\, immigrant communities and descendants of colonial subjects engage in memory-work\, cultural production\, and political mobilization to challenge assimilationist ideologies\, securitized Islamophobia\, and exclusionary myths of national universalism. These interventions contest dominant narratives of belonging and insist on political futures that reckon with imperial histories rather than disavow them.\n\nJoin us for a panel that examines how postcolonial orders are inhabited\, contested\, and reimagined across diverse contexts.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

In this talk\, I'll describe how my lab is building modular cell-based signaling pathways that enable us to probe the activity and rewire the function of natural ones. Our current work has uncovered compartment-specific signaling cascades\, and developing synthetic receptors has let us reprogram how cells respond to their environment for biosensor development. I'll also discuss how we navigate the design-discovery loop and leverage evolutionary diversity to develop tools that address challenges in both technology and fundamental science. Collectively\, our work demonstrates how engineering-driven approaches can yield practical biotechnologies and\, in the process\, deepen our understanding of natural biological systems.\n\nHost: Lyle Simmons UID:144928-21896160@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/144928 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Bsbsigns,seminar LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260130T085451 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260313T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260313T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NERS Colloquium: The Most Brilliant Human Mind DESCRIPTION:Screening of the documentary film\, \"The Most Brilliant Human Mind.\"\n\nSynopsis\nJohn von Neumann\, one of the most incredible Hungarian-born scientists of all time\, was named Man of the Century by the Financial Times in 1999.\n\nAmong other scientific works\, Neumann pioneered game theory and\, along with Alan Turing and Claude Shannon\, was one of the conceptual inventors of the stored-program digital computer.

How do incentives interact with the social context of organizations in which the incentives are used? This talk presents evidence from a series of field experiments\, and it draws on relational incentives theory to reconcile seemingly divergent findings. In the first experiment\, social recognition incentives had positive and enduring effects on volunteer retention at Wikipedia. In contrast\, a second field experiment in healthcare reveals how social recognition incentives backfired\, undermining physicians’ well-being at work. A third study\, conducted in the same healthcare setting\, shows that a form of participation incentive—a co-creation initiative with physicians—enhanced physician motivation and organizational citizenship behaviors. This research program dissects the reciprocal influences of incentives and social relationships to study how they jointly shape motivation\, behavior\, and well-being\, with implications for designing more effective incentive systems.

The proof of unimodality for the h-vector of simplicial spheres by Papadakis–Petrotou and for the h^*-vector of IDP and Gorenstein lattice polytopes by Adiprasito–Papadakis–Petrotou both fit into this framework. In this talk\, we reinterpret the volume map from the perspective of commutative algebra and explain the origin of these identities. This viewpoint yields short proofs and suggests new research directions. This is joint work with Adiprasito\, Oba\, Papadakis\, and Petrotou.

X-ray observations show that the hot\, X-ray emitting gas surrounding galaxy clusters\, the intracluster medium (ICM)\, has a nearly universal metallicity of ZICM ≈ 0.4Z⊙. This metallicity is largely independent of stellar fraction\, M∗/Mgas\, and exceeds what is expected from present-day stellar populations under standard initial mass functions (IMFs). This discrepancy is known as the missing metal conundrum. Many theories have been posed to explain this mismatch\, but fault has been found to each when compared with observations. The primary remaining theory yet to be disproved is the existence of an Early Enrichment Population (EEP) - a predominantly high-mass stellar population at z ∼ 10 − 6 that enriched the ICM while leaving a minimal surviving population. In this dissertation\, I develop and test a quantitative framework for the EEP by combining detailed X-ray measurements\, chemical evolution models\, and constraints from supernovae and galaxy luminosity functions. I do this through a homogeneous study of 26 galaxy groups and clusters using archival XMM-Newton data\, measuring radial metallicity profiles and the deriving the relation between ZICM and M∗/Mgas. With this I show that an additional metal component\, ZEEP is required even when updated yields\, remnants\, and non closed-box behavior in groups are taken into account when deriving the contribution from the visible stellar populations\, Z∗. I then construct theoretical models for the EEP\, exploring a range of IMFs and using Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) rates to identify IMFs that reproduce both the required metal yield and present-day observables. I further constrain the low-mass end of the EEP IMF by requiring that the residual light from long-lived EEP stars not exceed the observed luminosity of dwarf elliptical galaxies that dominate the low-luminosity component of cluster luminosity functions. Together\, these results provide the first observationally anchored\, testable constraints on the EEP and its IMF\, and establish concrete predictions for high-redshift supernovae and dwarf galaxy light that can be probed with current and future telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope.

Probability distributions over this space are not only subject to the system's intrinsic noisy dynamics\, but may also be influenced by externally imposed perturbations. While results such as the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem allow for a precise understanding of how such perturbations may affect observable quantities on the system\, these only properly function at equilibrium. Here\, we explore the case of perturbations on nonequilibrium stochastic systems and derive a new response formula based on the Matrix-Tree Theorem approach. In particular\, we derive the tightest possible linear bounds to sensitivity in arbitrary observables based on only the topology of the state network. These bounds stem from achetypical primitive models we call \"uniquely constructable sets\" that dictate the system properties under extreme conditions. As an exploratory example\, we investigate a model of a macromolecule with three ligand binding sites to showcase how the uniquely constructable sets can be used to find all possible variations that are capable of maximizing the sensitivity of the number of bound sites relative to the external ligand concentration.\n\nContact: AIM Seminar Organizers UID:141900-21889615@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141900 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260306T133125 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260313T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260313T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

Then it would seem to follow that I should sell all my possessions. This piece of reasoning is underwritten by a principle known as Inheritance: if p entails q\, then \"should p\" entails \"should q\". But Åqvist (1967) pointed out some apparent counterexamples to Inheritance: \"Max should have known he was breaking a rule\" does not entail \"Max should have been breaking a rule\" even though \"Max knew he was breaking a rule\" entails \"Max was breaking a rule\". I argue that Åqvist's observation is an instance of something more general: for many p and q where p entails and presupposes q\, \"should p\" does not entail \"should q\". I sketch a semantics that accommodates this fact while still preserving the truth of many instances of Inheritance. Finally\, I show that our discussion has consequences for a rather different debate in philosophy\, as it seems to undermine a recent argument against the knowledge account of assertion.\n\n\nResearch/Areas of Interest\nPhilosophy of Language\, Metaphysics\, Philosophy of Mind\n\nEducation\nPhD in Philosophy\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, Cambridge\, United States\, 2008\nMSc in Economic and Social History\, University of Oxford\, Oxford\, United Kingdom\, 2002\nBPhil in Philosophy\, University of Oxford\, Oxford\, United Kingdom\, 2001\nBA in Philosophy\, University of Western Ontario\, London\, Canada\, 1999\n\nBiography\nDilip Ninan received his Ph.D. from MIT\, B.Phil. from Oxford University\, and B.A. from the University of Western Ontario.

This is connected to medicine’s insistence on a ‘view from nowhere\,’ perceiving nature without changing it. Meanwhile\, STS scholars have long taught us about looping effects between categories and the world. In this talk\, I present ethnography on painful bodies in Thailand\, where the idea of looping between category and reality is part of everyday cosmology. I share about: doctors who worry that giving ‘chronic pain’ a diagnostic code will bring it into being\; monks who suspect that pain equals fear-of-death\, leading them to induce near-death experiences\; anesthesiologists with evidence that poor Thai patients need less anesthesia during surgery (because lifelong pain-as-necessity crafts brains with low-pain neurotransmitter profiles?)\; and patients who dream that pain is a reincarnated being and awake with different pain. Through this ontological adventure\, I ask whether STS might benefit not just from ethically identifying co-constructionism as a sociohistorical force\, but also from examining times and places where people work co-constructionism to their advantage as a matter of course.”\n\nScott Stonington is a medical and cultural anthropologist\, and an internal medicine physician. His research broadly addresses the globalization of biomedical ethics and expertise. His first project in this area focused on decision-making at the end of life in Thailand\, where individuals face a complex combination of ethical frameworks generated by high-tech medical care\, human-rights politics\, and the metaphysical demands of dying. Dr. Stonington spent two years accompanying Thai elders at their deathbeds\, documenting their children’s attempts to pay back their “debt of life” via intensive medical care\, as well as the ensuing “spirit ambulance\,” a rush to get patients on life-support home at the last possible moment to orchestrate the final breath in a spiritually advantageous place. Dr. Stonington’s second project in this area focuses on global debates over the use of opiates for pain management. He spent a year accompanying patients in severe pain in Northern Thailand as they navigated their suffering within a fraught ethical environment\, from Thailand’s brutal drug war\, to its Buddhist-based value for pain as a spiritual path\, to a broader global ambivalence about how best to treat pain. Dr. Stonington’s secondary research agenda addresses medical epistemology in the U.S.\, specifically how health practitioners decide what constitutes true and/or useful knowledge and how this affects patients. This work grows out of his ongoing practice as an Internal Medicine physician\, both in the hospital and in primary care.

During this time significant variability in the carbon cycle likely affected the trajectory of the climate system and the evolution of life. Records\, especially continental\, of the Early Cretaceous are still poorly constrained. Even the base of what is considered the Cretaceous System is not clearly defined. To this end multiple investigations are ongoing to improve our understanding of the timing of Early Cretaceous continental rock records and to provide more quantitative paleoclimate records during this important time. Here I summarize the results to date of efforts to improve Early Cretaceous chronostratigraphic constraint of rock records as well as climate records for this time\; especially of the Western margin of the Western Interior Basin and northwestern China). Our efforts so far indicate that many of the Early Cretaceous units we investigate are only partially contemporaneous and for some locations extend deeper into the Cretaceous than previously expected. Climate parameters are consistent with the prevailing interpretations of the Cretaceous as a greenhouse climate\, but variation in these records show instances of cooler than expected temperatures during some times.

At the same time\, training and deploying large AI models requires vast computational resources and significant amounts of electricity\, raising concerns about carbon emissions and other air pollution\, water consumption\, and the long-term energy footprint of AI itself. How can we harness AI’s benefits while avoiding the escalating costs of running increasingly large systems? What role can smaller models\, hardware advances\, and new design practices play in making AI more sustainable? Join us for a conversation with experts in AI & systems and energy and environmental law as we explore how to balance innovation with environmental responsibility.

Hummingbird Highway is the latest chapter in a richly unfolding story. Drawing on her experience as a playwright\, Williams populates her latest album with nuanced characters that come alive in the space of a few minutes.

The choreography includes the design of an original surround sound score which will be experienced “in the round” by audience members\, as well as lighting by Design and Production faculty Jess Fialko.\n\nWhile the word “fawn” is most commonly used to refer to a baby deer\, another meaning of the word describes a trauma response in which someone tries to appease a threat and/or ensure survival through flattery or cringing. The word “fawn” is also commonly confused with “faun\,” a human-animal deity and the protagonist of Nijinsky’s famously controversial ballet “Afternoon of a Faun.” This performance weaves these various etymological and mythological lineages of “fawn” and “faun” into an inherently queer dreamscape that asks questions about grief\, survival\, desire\, power\, and vulnerability in a precarious ecosystem. The performance blends methods and practices from both autofiction and science fiction\, weaving the artists’ lived experiences with speculative experiments in how to hold immense contradictions and overwhelming emotional states in one body.\n\nAge Recommendation: 12+\nTickets Required (free and donation)\n\nhttps://www.charliisananimal.com/\n\n*This performance is made possible through generous support from the University of Michigan Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration Grant (ARIA)\, the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG)\, the Research\, Catalyst\, and Innovation Program (RCI)\, and the Department of Dance.* UID:137591-21880430@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137591 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Dance,Faculty,Free,Interdisciplinary,LGBT,Music LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260310T151444 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260313T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260313T230000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Lucky UMix DESCRIPTION:Join CCI at Lucky UMix this St. Patrick’s season! 🍀 Join us at the Michigan Union for a night packed with great food\, a festive mocktail bar\, karaoke\, crafts\, and tons of fun activities.

For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\" UID:146980-21900136@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260313T120149 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260314T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260314T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

Հմայարան / Hmayaran by Levon Kafafian (Detroit-based Artist) DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Opening: March 12\, 2026\nExhibit Dates: March 12-30\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\nSet within Kafafian's speculative future world Azadistan—a place of magic and spirits beyond a digital collapse\, Հմայարան / Hmayaran is an immersive shrine housing a series of soft-sculptural artifacts reimagining objects Armenians have traditionally crafted for spiritual power and protection.\n \n Kafafian's focus in this exhibition is on the marks Armenians carve into stone\, clay and wood to imbue meaning\, memory and magic into their lived environments\, particularly as part of folk traditions outside of the realms of church and state.\n \n Channeled from the collective Armenian diasporic imaginary\, Kafafian's Portal Fire series depicts a narrative story that emerges from the materials as they are brought into relationship through weaving\, dyeing\, embellishment and thread. In this story world hybrid cultural practices and alternative spiritual modes develop from embodied traditions in response to the changing physical and cultural landscape of Southwest Asia in a future where technological catastrophe has severed global communications and erased digital archives. The multi-ethnic society of Azadistan takes shape through installations\, objects\, texts and performances manifesting the multiplicity of Aremenian-ness through the dimensions of a complicated past and its potential for a vibrant\, evolving futurity.\n\nCosponsor: Institute for the Humanities UID:143403-21893079@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143403 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Area Studies,Armenian Studies,Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260317T171335 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260314T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260314T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Wayward Images DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

In this talk\, I will discuss the cutting-edge technology used by the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory to produce such powerful magnetic fields and the interesting physical phenomena probed in such extreme environments. \n\nJustin Berman\, \"Bootstrapping High-Energy Theories from Low-Energy Clues\"\nA key goal of particle physics theories is to predict how particles scatter off one another. However\, experimentally probing these interactions at very high energies is extremely difficult. In this talk\, I explain how fundamental principles of physics let us “bootstrap” low-energy data into predictions about high-energy particles\, independent of the underlying theory. By using this bootstrap technique\, I show that we can find upper and lower limits on the masses of particles in an approximation of the real world\, which predict the existence and properties of a massive particle that has not yet been observed.\n\nWe celebrate the Van Loo Family Student Presentations this Saturday!\n\nLecture and Q&A\, live-streamed on: https://myumi.ch/5kVRx UID:144048-21894588@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/144048 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Applied Physics,College Of Engineering,Complex Systems,Faculty,Family,Free,Graduate And Professional Students,Graduate Students,Lecture,Lifelong Learning,Mathematics,Michigan Engineering,Physics,Postdoctoral Research Fellows,Prospective Undergraduate Students,Quantum,Quantum Computing,Quantum Science,Smoke-free LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 170 & 182 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260303T115004 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260314T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260314T140000 SUMMARY:Other:Family Day | Children and Play in the Ancient World DESCRIPTION:Join us for our biannual Family Day as we learn about children and play in the ancient world! \n\nExplore what it was like to grow up in the ancient Mediterranean. \n\nCreate your own yarn bracelet. \n\nDiscover the kinds of toys children played with in the past—and make your own! \n\nThe Kelsey Museum and Family Day are free and open to the public.

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:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

BeauSoleil’s distinctive sound derives from the distilled spirits of New Orleans jazz\, blues rock\, folk\, swamp pop\, Zydeco\, country and bluegrass\, captivating listeners from the Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans\, to Carnegie Hall\, then all the way across the pond to Richard Thompson’s Meltdown Festival in England.\n\nTheir most recent album was titled “From Bamako to Carencro\,” alluding the cultural and migratory connection between Bamako\, in Mali\, West Africa\, and Louisiana (symbolized in name by the Lafayette\, LA suburb of Carencro)\, a connection that draws a sonic bloodline back to BeauSoleil’s roots. Since becoming the first Cajun band to win a GRAMMY with “L’amour Ou La Folie” (their Traditional Folk Album – 1998) and then a second Grammy in 2010\, “Live at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival”\, BeauSoleil has garnered many accolades\, including twelve GRAMMY nominations. They are regular guests on Garrison Keillor’s NPR show A Prairie Home Companion\, where Keillor has dubbed them as “the best Cajun band in the world\,” and their music is so integral to the Cajun culture that they have been featured on the New Orleans–based hit HBO program “Treme”. Critics unanimously agree that it is “bon temps\, every time they play\,” (New York Times).

The choreography includes the design of an original surround sound score which will be experienced “in the round” by audience members\, as well as lighting by Design and Production faculty Jess Fialko.\n\nWhile the word “fawn” is most commonly used to refer to a baby deer\, another meaning of the word describes a trauma response in which someone tries to appease a threat and/or ensure survival through flattery or cringing. The word “fawn” is also commonly confused with “faun\,” a human-animal deity and the protagonist of Nijinsky’s famously controversial ballet “Afternoon of a Faun.” This performance weaves these various etymological and mythological lineages of “fawn” and “faun” into an inherently queer dreamscape that asks questions about grief\, survival\, desire\, power\, and vulnerability in a precarious ecosystem. The performance blends methods and practices from both autofiction and science fiction\, weaving the artists’ lived experiences with speculative experiments in how to hold immense contradictions and overwhelming emotional states in one body.\n\nAge Recommendation: 12+\nTickets Required (free and donation)\n\nhttps://www.charliisananimal.com/\n\n*This performance is made possible through generous support from the University of Michigan Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration Grant (ARIA)\, the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG)\, the Research\, Catalyst\, and Innovation Program (RCI)\, and the Department of Dance.* UID:137592-21880431@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137592 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Dance,Faculty,Free,Interdisciplinary,LGBT,Music LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260310T181635 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260314T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260314T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:Kevin Payne\, jazz percussion DESCRIPTION:Undergraduate student Kevin Payne performs a final senior recital.

The play revolves around their five-year relationship and how they make it work despite their differences.\n\n8pm\, March 13th and 14th in the Keene Theater in East Quadrangle.

For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\" UID:146980-21900137@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260313T120149 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260315T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260315T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?
