He writes elegant\, homespun ballads that draw you in toward the proverbial campfire.” –GQ\n\nCritics often draw comparisons between The Tallest Man on Earth and Bob Dylan\, citing similarities in both songwriting and vocal style. Matsson himself has acknowledged Dylan's influence\, revealing that he started listening to him at the age of fifteen. Fascinated by Dylan's covers\, he delved into their origins\, which gradually introduced him to early American folk artists like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. However\, Matsson is quick to distance himself from being part of any specific tradition\, stating\, “I don’t want to be part of a tradition. I just want to do what feels natural to me. This is how I play\, and this is how I write songs.” UID:148400-21904187@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/148400 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved + Gold Circle CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260930T100132 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261024T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261024T230000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Telescope Observing DESCRIPTION:Join us to observe the night sky with the 1857 Fitz telescope and our collection of modern instruments!\n\nLocated on Central Campus next to Alice Lloyd Hall and Couzens Hall.

If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending.

He writes elegant\, homespun ballads that draw you in toward the proverbial campfire.” –GQ\n\nCritics often draw comparisons between The Tallest Man on Earth and Bob Dylan\, citing similarities in both songwriting and vocal style. Matsson himself has acknowledged Dylan's influence\, revealing that he started listening to him at the age of fifteen. Fascinated by Dylan's covers\, he delved into their origins\, which gradually introduced him to early American folk artists like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. However\, Matsson is quick to distance himself from being part of any specific tradition\, stating\, “I don’t want to be part of a tradition. I just want to do what feels natural to me. This is how I play\, and this is how I write songs.” UID:148400-21904223@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/148400 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261002T161912 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261026T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261026T235900 SUMMARY:Well-being:Cook Scholars Free Sips DESCRIPTION:One month in\, are you looking for direction in networking\, searching student orgs\, or finding your way around Ann Arbor\, talk to us.

This is the Place DESCRIPTION:There are nearly one million refugees currently living in Poland. While the vast majority arrived from Ukraine\, Poland has also welcomed forcibly displaced people from Central Asia\, Latin America\, Africa\, and the Middle East. While refugees may be different\, they all search for a place that reminds them of home.\nIn *This Is The Place*\, a project supported by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)\, Anna Liminowicz asked refugees to show what\, in Poland\, reminds them of their home. These portraits and the personalized confessions her subjects handwrote in their native languages tell poignant stories about safety and hope.\nAnna Liminowicz is an award-winning photographer and reportage journalist based in Warsaw\, Poland. A frequent contributor to the *The New York Times*\, *The Guardian*\, *The Wall Street Journal*\, *The Washington Post*\, *El Pais*\, *Der Spiegel* and UNHCR\, Liminowicz divides her time between assignments and long-term personal projects\, mainly focusing on social issues like identity and loss\, and what uplifts her subjects. She has covered the war in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees in Poland since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion\, and received the 2022 Grand Press Photo Award for her project “Too Precious to Leave Behind”.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Those approaches range from multimedia (audio and textual descriptions) through multidimensional and emerging technologies strategies (3D printing\, haptics\, and screen-based mobile touch interfaces). It demonstrates that comics can be made accessible. Learn about the international efforts of innovators in the realm of comics accessibility for those who are blind or have low vision\, assembled by the Accessible Comics Collective at San Francisco State University (SFSU) with the expertise of blind access professionals. \n\nEmily Beitiks was the accessibility lead for the content creation of the exhibit. She is the co-director for the San Francisco Disability Cultural Center (the first civically funded disability culture center on the planet!)\, and prior to that\, the director of the Longmore Institute on Disability. \n\nNick Sousanis (SFSU)\, the lead creative organizer of the exhibit\, is a Detroit native and was the first person to draw his dissertation in comics format\, subsequently published as the graphic novel Unflattening.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open\, and join us for an opening presentation on Friday\, October 2nd\, 1:00pm - 4:00pm.

Like standing in front of an easel and painting........just is.......no matter......what proclamations may be concluded to sway the viewer. Same thing goes for fine art. It’s not about I am a woman....it’s not about I am a first generation Arab American.....it’s not about being a child of trauma....it’s not about a member of my family being gunned down on the street....it’s about being born a painter.....standing in front of my easel and working to create a \"Piece of Fine Art\". Not standing on some soap box and expecting my words to somehow qualify my painting. It’s the painting\, drawing or sculpture that must speak on its own.......on how the artist......via the intellect and muse uses the elements to create something distinct and first rate. It can be quiet or loud.

The Art of Memory\, Paintings by Felix Lembersky DESCRIPTION:Felix Lembersky (1913-1970) was a painter\, theater stage designer\, teacher\, and leader of artistic groups. He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar\, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons\, these paintings\, along with his later nonconformist work\, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars\, the 1917 revolution\, and political terror\, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable\, neglected\, and marginalized people: children\, the elderly\, ethnic minorities\, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances\, Lembersky portrayed his subjects with empathy\, dignity\, and admiration. \n\n“For my father\, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom\, individuality\, and personalized creativity\, without which it ceased to be art.”\n— Galina Lembersky\, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky\, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky\, and Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

The photographs and stories in the exhibit challenge mainstream narratives that reduce Black birth to statistics and only amplify Black pregnant women's anxiety and hesitancy about navigating the maternal health care system. Instead\, the exhibit offers evidence of joy\, reminders of possibility\, and a visual legacy for generations to come. \n \nBlack Birth Joy was born from Lashae's belief that more positive birth stories of BIPOC families need to be seen and heard\, and her photographs invite viewers to witness the people behind them: the mothers\, babies\, partners\, families\, and birthworkers. They create space for BIPOC families to see themselves represented with dignity and to witness the full range of birth experiences. Lashae's photographs also create a tangible record that can support conversations around quality of medical care\, respectful treatment\, and patient rights. The exhibit empowers women to prioritize and advocate for their birth experiences while also encouraging perinatal health professionals and birthworkers to center the humanity\, dignity\, and individual experiences of patients and families. \n\nThe exhibit comprises over 30 photographs as well as stories of mothers whose births were documented by Lashae\, a doula and birth/newborn photographer whose work has been published in Everyday Birth Magazine\, an international publication. The physical exhibit is accompanied by a virtual component that encourages audiences to engage with each mother's birth story.\n\nThe Lane Hall Exhibit Space is sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) at the University of Michigan. \n\nBlack Birth Joy\nThursday\, October 1\, 2026 – Friday\, January 15\, 2027\nLane Hall Exhibit Space\, 204 S State St.\, Ann Arbor\, MI\nOpen M–F\, 9AM–5PM UID:153178-21915301@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153178 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:advocacy,african and african american studies,american culture,anthropology,Art,artists and curators,photography LOCATION:Lane Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261021T130435 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261026T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261026T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Birth Joy photography exhibit DESCRIPTION:Black Birth Joy by Tiana Lashae documents birth as a deeply personal story of connection\, courage\, tenderness\, and joy.

This session is a practitioner’s look at how a growth agency serving legal\, healthcare and professional-services firms runs AI agents in daily operations\, and why “draft and propose\, humans approve” beats “fully autonomous.” We’ll walk through the real stack: Hermes-based agents with local and cloud models\; a shared company “brain” that gives every agent the same curated context and keeps live systems authoritative\; and a coordination board where agents hand off bounded tasks and flag decisions that belong to a person. You’ll see the guardrails that make it safe: approval gates on anything client-facing\, per-agent credentials scoped to a human owner\, and reviewed pull requests for every change to shared knowledge. Attendees leave with a practical blueprint for deciding what to automate\, what to gate\, and how to expand agent scope without losing control.

A History of Voting in America” DESCRIPTION:Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted\, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth\, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes\, campaign pins and ribbons\, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets\, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit\, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting\, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

Using the 2026 FIFA World Cup as an organizing analogy\, I will survey the international landscape of dynamical-core development and the strategic choices underlying atmospheric general circulation models. These choices include governing equation sets\, computational grids and staggering\, vertical coordinates\, numerical methods\, physics–dynamics coupling\, dissipation\, filtering\, and parameter tuning. Model intercomparison projects and hierarchical test suites serve as referees\, exposing numerical artifacts\, grid imprinting\, excessive or insufficient diffusion\, and divergent representations of precipitation and stratospheric circulation. Results demonstrate that seemingly technical design and tuning decisions can substantially alter simulated weather systems and large-scale circulation.\n\nI will also examine emerging frontiers: global convection-allowing simulations at 1–3 km resolution\, adaptive mesh refinement\, nonhydrostatic deep-atmosphere equation sets\, and potentially non-spherical Earth formulations. These advances require scalable\, hardware-agnostic software that exploits graphics processing units and emerging programming frameworks such as C++/Kokkos\, Python\, and JAX. Machine-learning emulators\, artificial-intelligence-assisted development\, efficient data strategies\, and models carrying hundreds of tracers offer additional opportunities. Together\, these developments point toward more accurate\, physically complete\, computationally portable\, and systematically evaluated dynamical cores for next-generation weather\, climate\, and whole-atmosphere prediction.\n\nBio:\nChristiane Jablonowski is a Professor in the Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering at the University of Michigan.

Dr. Finnigan will discuss her current study of one of the few cross-sector approaches: the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (CNI) funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Using multiple methods\, including social network analysis\, the longitudinal study explores how CNI is being implemented in the Corktown neighborhood of Detroit at multiple levels: the governance structure (or network of agencies and organizations)\; the CNI core components (e.g.\, housing\, people\, neighborhood)\; and the family level (families who originally lived in the housing complex targeted for redevelopment and others in the surrounding area). She'll share details about the early results from this study\, including the complex relationships and network dynamics they have uncovered\, as well as the ways that the research team works closely with community partners in Detroit.

To prepare for the beginning of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time\, the Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) launched a photometric redshift (photo-z) estimation challenge in spring 2026. At that time\, all existing photo-z estimation methods had a redshift uncertainty larger than limits outlined in the official DESC Science Requirements. In this talk\, I present Cin-zs\, a machine learning-based approach for photo-z estimation submitted by our group as part of this challenge. I report on the performance of our algorithm when applied to Tasksets 1 and 2 and outline possible avenues for improvement when extending to Tasksets 3 and 4.

Culture facilitates human interaction by providing meaning to lived experience. Accounting for culture in both theories and methods potentially advances the study of health by connecting the macro and micro levels of human experience. Yet\, culture should be understood as dynamic and complex. It fundamentally shapes individuals and simultaneously is shaped by individuals. The importance of systematically attending to culture includes topics of values\, language\, immigration\, and society.\n\nTheories and methods that incorporate culture hold great potential for advancing the understanding of health outcomes and health trajectories in various global contexts.\n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on various aspects of culture and diverse groups living in the U.S. and across the globe to address the ways in which attending to culture helps clarify and overcome challenges to good health.\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology.\n\nIn person: ISR Thompson 6050\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Kristine Ajrouch and Sela Panapasa\nEvents are not recorded UID:149694-21906960@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/149694 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Culture,Research,Social Science,Social Science Research LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 6050 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261016T084700 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261026T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261026T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2026 David Noel Freedman Lecture DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the 2026 David Noel Freedman Lecture with Dr. Susanne Paulus\, Associate Professor of Assyriology and Curator of the Tablet Collection at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures (ISAC) at the University of Chicago.\n\nMichigan League\, Vandenberg Room\, 2nd Floor\nMonday\, October 26th\, 4 - 6pm\n\nAbstract:\n\nWriting history is telling stories. The stories we tell about ancient economies\, including that of Late Bronze Age Babylonia\, are often shaped by preconceptions about commodities\, credit\, and debt. Drawing on tablets excavated in cities such as Babylon\, Nippur\, and Ur in modern Iraq\, this lecture follows barley through a series of transactions involving taxes\, loans\, investments\, and even two piglets. Barley was both a major food source and an economic staple\, but the documents reveal much more than subsistence. They offer alternative ways of understanding credit\, debt\, and investment in Late Bronze Age Babylonia.\n \nBiography:\n\nSusanne Paulus is an Associate Professor of Assyriology and Curator of the Tablet Collection at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures (ISAC) at the University of Chicago. Her research focuses on the social\, legal\, and economic history of Late Bronze Age Babylonia. Her current book project\, Banking with Barley\, supported by the American Council of Learned Societies\, explores credit\, debt\, and economic life in Kassite Babylonia. She is also an epigraphist for the Nippur excavations and is involved in the publication of cuneiform texts from the city of Babylon.

Notowidigdo\, Sahil Raina and Barry Scholnick) DESCRIPTION:We estimate the causal effects of a financial windfall on consumption\, savings\, and wage earnings using linked administrative data on a large sample of Canadian lottery winners. Using separate linkages of lottery winners to income tax records and credit bureau data\, we estimate how lottery winnings affect consumption measured through credit card spending\, savings through financial asset accumulation and debt repayment\, and wage earnings from tax records. We then examine how these responses vary across the income distribution. We find that high-income individuals allocated a larger share of lottery winnings to savings and leisure\, while low-income individuals spent a larger share on consumption. We illustrate the policy relevance of these heterogeneous responses through three applications: designing fiscal stimulus programs\, evaluating a Universal Basic Income (UBI)\, and determining optimal top tax rates on wage earnings and savings.

In that work\, there were two approaches\, one algebraic and one analytic. It turns out that the algebraic approach could produce factorization before taking the norm\, whereas the analytic approach could not. In this talk\, I will report on-going work with Mike Daas\, where we aim to remove the norm through a p-adic analytic approach in the case of Shimura curves.

These solutions are characterized by a Riemann-Hilbert problem which arises as the limit $N\to \infty$ of a sequence of $2N$-soliton RH problems\, where the solitons display two different triangularity in the jumps. The limiting RH problem belongs to a novel class of problems\, where the jump matrices do not have any zero entry (as opposed to the classical upper/lower triangular setting).\n We show that the initial profile of such a gas solution is approaching a cnoidal wave solution for $x\to \pm \infty$ with different phase shifts\, and we establish an asymptotic description of the gas of solitons for large times that is valid over the entire spatial domain\, in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions\, with slowly modulated phase shifts as time varies from $-\infty$ to $+\infty$.\nThis is a joint work with Ken McLaughlin (Tulane U.) and Robert Jenkins (UCF).\n\n*To request access to the Zoom room\, please contact Nathan Hayford at nhayford [ at ] umich.edu.* UID:153062-21915026@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153062 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260921T121107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261026T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261026T180000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Toxic Landscapes: Industrial Chemistry and the Politics of Risk in the Modern World DESCRIPTION:Industrial capitalism engendered human and animal bodies toxic in myriad and uneven ways. This talk examines the entanglements of public health and the body through the history of carbolic acid. Derived from coal tar production in British industrial factories in the early 19th century\, carbolic acid exploded in use from the 1870s after Joseph Lister’s pioneering use of the chemical in antiseptic surgery. Heralded as the first public health and surgical 'magic bullet'\, chemists and coroners clamored to legislate carbolic acid as a dangerous poison- by 1900 carbolic acid poisonings and suicides were significant causes of death around the Atlantic World. By the early 20th century\, carbolic acid became a common household tool in the fight against germs and in the beauty industry. Looming was the nature of risk. I show how exposure to carbolic acid skin damage and death differentially impacted women and laborers\, particularly in the Global South. Carbolic acid's use in the plastics industry\, and as an insecticide led to a surge in production in the 20th century\, including widespread water and soil pollution. This talk thus explores questions about risk and regulation\, the unequal burdens of toxicity\, and the longue durée invisible health impacts of chemicals.\n\nJacob Steere-Williams\, PhD\, is professor of history and medical humanities at the College of Charleston\, and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. He serves as Associate Editor of the Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences\, and Editor of the Epidemic Histories book series with Johns Hopkins University Press. His work explores the history of public health\, epidemic disease\, and the environment\, interrogating questions about disease surveillance\, governance\, and everyday scientific practice in Britain\, across the Atlantic World\, and the former British colonies. In addition to dozens of articles and op-eds\, he is the author of the 2020 book The Filth Disease and the 2023 Port Cities of the Atlantic World.

This is the Place DESCRIPTION:There are nearly one million refugees currently living in Poland. While the vast majority arrived from Ukraine\, Poland has also welcomed forcibly displaced people from Central Asia\, Latin America\, Africa\, and the Middle East. While refugees may be different\, they all search for a place that reminds them of home.\nIn *This Is The Place*\, a project supported by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)\, Anna Liminowicz asked refugees to show what\, in Poland\, reminds them of their home. These portraits and the personalized confessions her subjects handwrote in their native languages tell poignant stories about safety and hope.\nAnna Liminowicz is an award-winning photographer and reportage journalist based in Warsaw\, Poland. A frequent contributor to the *The New York Times*\, *The Guardian*\, *The Wall Street Journal*\, *The Washington Post*\, *El Pais*\, *Der Spiegel* and UNHCR\, Liminowicz divides her time between assignments and long-term personal projects\, mainly focusing on social issues like identity and loss\, and what uplifts her subjects. She has covered the war in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees in Poland since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion\, and received the 2022 Grand Press Photo Award for her project “Too Precious to Leave Behind”.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

She is the co-director for the San Francisco Disability Cultural Center (the first civically funded disability culture center on the planet!)\, and prior to that\, the director of the Longmore Institute on Disability. \n\nNick Sousanis (SFSU)\, the lead creative organizer of the exhibit\, is a Detroit native and was the first person to draw his dissertation in comics format\, subsequently published as the graphic novel Unflattening.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open\, and join us for an opening presentation on Friday\, October 2nd\, 1:00pm - 4:00pm.

It’s not about I am a woman....it’s not about I am a first generation Arab American.....it’s not about being a child of trauma....it’s not about a member of my family being gunned down on the street....it’s about being born a painter.....standing in front of my easel and working to create a \"Piece of Fine Art\". Not standing on some soap box and expecting my words to somehow qualify my painting. It’s the painting\, drawing or sculpture that must speak on its own.......on how the artist......via the intellect and muse uses the elements to create something distinct and first rate.

The Art of Memory\, Paintings by Felix Lembersky DESCRIPTION:Felix Lembersky (1913-1970) was a painter\, theater stage designer\, teacher\, and leader of artistic groups. He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar\, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons\, these paintings\, along with his later nonconformist work\, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars\, the 1917 revolution\, and political terror\, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable\, neglected\, and marginalized people: children\, the elderly\, ethnic minorities\, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances\, Lembersky portrayed his subjects with empathy\, dignity\, and admiration. \n\n“For my father\, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom\, individuality\, and personalized creativity\, without which it ceased to be art.”\n— Galina Lembersky\, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky\, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky\, and Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

The photographs and stories in the exhibit challenge mainstream narratives that reduce Black birth to statistics and only amplify Black pregnant women's anxiety and hesitancy about navigating the maternal health care system. Instead\, the exhibit offers evidence of joy\, reminders of possibility\, and a visual legacy for generations to come. \n \nBlack Birth Joy was born from Lashae's belief that more positive birth stories of BIPOC families need to be seen and heard\, and her photographs invite viewers to witness the people behind them: the mothers\, babies\, partners\, families\, and birthworkers. They create space for BIPOC families to see themselves represented with dignity and to witness the full range of birth experiences. Lashae's photographs also create a tangible record that can support conversations around quality of medical care\, respectful treatment\, and patient rights. The exhibit empowers women to prioritize and advocate for their birth experiences while also encouraging perinatal health professionals and birthworkers to center the humanity\, dignity\, and individual experiences of patients and families. \n\nThe exhibit comprises over 30 photographs as well as stories of mothers whose births were documented by Lashae\, a doula and birth/newborn photographer whose work has been published in Everyday Birth Magazine\, an international publication. The physical exhibit is accompanied by a virtual component that encourages audiences to engage with each mother's birth story.\n\nThe Lane Hall Exhibit Space is sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) at the University of Michigan. \n\nBlack Birth Joy\nThursday\, October 1\, 2026 – Friday\, January 15\, 2027\nLane Hall Exhibit Space\, 204 S State St.\, Ann Arbor\, MI\nOpen M–F\, 9AM–5PM UID:153178-21915302@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153178 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:advocacy,african and african american studies,american culture,anthropology,Art,artists and curators,photography LOCATION:Lane Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261021T130435 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261027T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261027T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Birth Joy photography exhibit DESCRIPTION:Black Birth Joy by Tiana Lashae documents birth as a deeply personal story of connection\, courage\, tenderness\, and joy. The photographs and stories in the exhibit challenge mainstream narratives that reduce Black birth to statistics and only amplify Black pregnant women’s anxiety and hesitancy about navigating the maternal health care system. \n\nBlack Birth Joy was born from Lashae’s belief that more positive birth stories of BIPOC families need to be seen and heard\, and her photographs invite viewers to witness the people behind them: the mothers\, babies\, partners\, families\, and birthworkers.\n\nThe exhibit comprises over 30 photographs as well as stories of mothers whose births were documented by Lashae\, a doula and birth/newborn photographer.\n\nThe Lane Hall Exhibit Space is sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) at the University of Michigan.\n\nThursday\, October 1\, 2026 – Friday\, January 15\, 2027\nLane Hall Exhibit Space\, 204 S State St.\, Ann Arbor\, MI\nOpen M–F\, 9AM–5PM UID:153919-21916664@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153919 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:advocacy,african american,african and african american studies,african and afroamerican studies,american culture,Art,artists and curators,arts,arts at michigan,Black America,Blackness,Caregiver,Caregivers,center for the education of women,community activism,Community Engagement,daas,Diversity,equity issues,Exhibition,feminism,feminist,Gender Equality,gender studies,Health,Health & Wellness,health and wellness,Health Equity,healthcare,Nursing,obstetrics and gynecology,reproductive health,reproductive justice,Reproductive Rights,sexuality,social science research,Storytelling,Student Parent,Student Parents,Students With Children,Wellness,women,women of color,Women's And Gender Studies,women's health,women's health program,women's studies LOCATION:Lane Hall - First Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260915T123553 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261027T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261027T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Breakfast\, Luncheon\, and Dinner: Dining Out in the 1910s\, 1920s\, and 1930s DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a buffet selection of early twentieth century menus from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

He is the founder of the MBAD African Bead Museum in Detroit. Through material culture\, Dabls presents commentary on the past\, present\, and future from African and African-American perspectives\, with the understanding that generations of African ancestors used visual materials to convey information about their identity as well as send messages for healing and protection. Dabls is a luminary\; for decades he has re-imagined what a museum space can be\, accessible to everyone\, free from the underpinnings of colonialism and the Western\, often white\, frame. *Grand Vision* includes a conceptual installation in the Gallery\, presenting Dabls’s own work in visual conversation with African beads and artifacts from Dabls’s Bead Museum collections. \n\nAdditionally\, Dabls’s iconic outdoor sculpture *Iron Teaching Rocks Table Manners* will be installed on the U-M campus grounds near UMMA\, at the intersection of State Street and South University from September 17- October 11\, 2026. The project’s range intends to more fully articulate the many facets of Dabls’ creative practice\, and the overlay of art\, history\, identity\, community\, and healing.

Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant\, and later studio manager\, in 2024. Over those six years\, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year\, open studio for the public\, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026\, they decided to expand community programming\, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works\, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop\, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community\, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works\, by their studiomates Diskette Press\, the publisher Maamoul Press\, and by the community that uses the space.

While the fragility\, geography\, and organization of global production networks are at the forefront of supply chain discourse\, the people who make and study consumers’ products are often forgotten. Women especially play a critical role in the production of goods and services and global procurement. \nThe Women in Supply Chains (WiSC) Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop (RIW) was created to understand these issues and create a space for graduate students interested in the intersection between gender and supply chains. WiSC researches gender disparities in supply chain scholarship and practice to advance awareness and pursue more equitable outcomes. We seek to bring together an interdisciplinary group to collaborate on topics related to our three research pillars: 1) supply chain discourse and governance\, 2) supply chain gender inequities\, and 3) barriers to equitable supply chain research and practice. Our interdisciplinary approach addresses the intersections of gender\, power asymmetries\, and economic exploitation in global production networks. Recent industry research shows that progress on gender representation in supply chains has stalled\, demonstrating a need for sustained academic engagement.\nResearch questions we plan to explore include:To what extent do supply chain theory and discourse rely on or reinforce patriarchal values?What gender-based inequities and power asymmetries exist in global production networks? How can supply chain stakeholders mitigate these inequities?What barriers do gender-marginalized individuals face as supply chain scholars or practitioners? How can we build community for people who work in supply chains?We plan to hold monthly events (approximately 1 hour) on a consistent day of the week (based on the availability of participants/guest speakers). We also plan to attend and promote events on campus (e.g.\, speakers\, lectures) as they relate to gender and supply chains. Planned events include hands-on activities and treks\, including a book club and a manufacturing site tour. Graduate students from all disciplines and gender identities are invited to attend.

In a large survey of firms\, I elicit the subjective probability of a severe macroeconomic downturn and firms’ exposure to such events. Using observational and experimental variation\, I find that a higher probability of a severe macroeconomic downturn substantially lowers investment\, particularly for more exposed firms\, beyond what can be explained by changes in firms’ subjective first and second moments. In a heterogeneous firm model calibrated to the survey evidence\, tail risk concerns make fiscal policy particularly effective for stabilizing investment.

A History of Voting in America” DESCRIPTION:Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted\, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth\, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes\, campaign pins and ribbons\, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets\, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit\, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting\, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.
