SUMMARY:Performance:Dean Johnson
DESCRIPTION:“Johnson draws from the same well as John Prine or Tom Waits\, filtering the light of daily life through the grimy windows of a barroom” –Paste Magazine\n\nWith I Hope We Can Still Be Friends\, his debut for Saddle Creek\, Dean Johnson makes a pact with the listener: He will sing you his truth in the most heartfelt and charming way possible\, if you promise to keep an open mind.\n\nJohnson spent years tending bar at Al’s Tavern in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood. There\, he encountered folks of all stripes\; and regulars enthusiastically murmured about his budding musical greatness — There’s the best songwriter in town! Johnson was a kind of local lore\, a long-held family secret\, before the singer finally broke out in 2023 with his debut album\, Nothing For Me Please\, at age 50.\n\nI Hope We Can Still Be Friends is essentially an anthology that bridges Johnson’s earliest days as a songwriter with his present-day outlook and abilities. There are songs that have been in his setlists for years\, and others that will be new to fans. Each of its 11 tracks contains jocular social commentary or lovingly rendered affairs of the heart. \n\nLike John Prine or Kris Kristofferson’s country-adjacent sound\, devastating humor and economical profundity refracted through a barroom’s haze\, the album is filled with easygoing twang\, sad characters\, universal truths and the absurdity of everyday life.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:2026 Second Year Studio Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAugust 24 - October 18\, 2026\nExhibition Reception: October 1\, 1-2:30 p.m.\n\nIn their second year\, Stamps students complete a major milestone: Second Year Studio (SYS). It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" \n\nStamps Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator Sally Clegg notes\, \"Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now?\" At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. The pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path: experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\n\nAs Course Coordinator\, Stamps Assistant Professor Pedram Baldari both teaches and works directly with all the faculty overseeing each section to collaboratively support the entire class. He offers this reflection on the diverse collection of work on view in this year’s exhibition.\n\nThese works engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\nSYS is intentionally structured around a different learning model than project-based courses. Rather than responding to predetermined assignments\, students identify their own questions and spend an entire semester developing them through research\, experimentation\, critique\, and multiple iterations. The emphasis is not on arriving quickly at a resolved outcome\, but on cultivating the capacity to work independently\, remain responsive to new discoveries\, and allow the project itself to evolve through sustained engagement.\n\nAs a result\, the exhibition presents more than a collection of finished works. It documents different ways of investigating\, testing\, and refining ideas. Some students advance through material experimentation\, others through drawing\, installation\, performance\, digital media\, social engagement\, or speculative approaches. Each project reflects a distinct methodology that has developed through repeated cycles of making\, reflection\, critique\, and revision. In a sense\, the dialectical process generated by the nature of this course is the most significant thread connecting this year’s exhibition. It marks a point at which students begin moving beyond solving assignments toward constructing independent practices\, developing the habits of inquiry\, critical reflection\, and experimentation that will continue to shape their work well beyond SYS.\n\n\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n<ul class=\"twocol\">\n\nNailah Aguilar\n\nAkylah Archer\n\nZachary Berenbaum\n\nSamantha Blaine\n\nLauren Boyce\n\nKas Brajkovic\n\nAnna Browne\n\nLilah Chow\n\nIsabella Cortes\n\nMagdalena Dimovski\n\nLeah Elliott\n\nAya Fadlelzebair\n\nM.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CCPS Photo Exhibition. 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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Down in Ann Arbor Town: Pictorial Maps\, Campus Traditions\, and the Women Who Made Them
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the centennial of the iconic 1926 “Down in Ann Arbor Town” map by exploring the colorful history\, campus traditions\, and detailed artistry that made it possible. Created by Jessie Horton Koessler (Class of 1901) to help fund the Michigan League building for women\, this celebrated map provides a fascinating view into 1920s campus life and the women who shaped it. Through three distinct exhibit sections\, journey from the campus history that led to the map’s creation to a broader look at early 20th-century pictorial mapmaking.\n\nWhile enjoying the exhibit\, pick up a scavenger hunt at the Clark Library desk that will inspire you to notice whimsical details in the maps discussed. Return your scavenger hunt at the desk for a small prize\, while supplies last.\n\nJoin the curators — Ava Pustulka (’28) and Anna Rohl\, map curator at Clark Library — for a presentation on September 24 (https://myumi.ch/X8y3r)\, where they will share the research that went into creating the exhibit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Hands on Fire
DESCRIPTION:Jim Cogswell: Hands on Fire\n\n**August 31 to October 9\, 2026**\n**Public Reception: Friday\, September 18\, 4:30 to 6:30 pm**\n\nJim Cogswell’s Hands on Fire is a solo exhibition of mixed media drawings at the Residential College Gallery at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The exhibition features sixty works on paper completed between 2024 and 2026.\n\nThis body of work responds to Greek Cypriot filmmaker Michael Cacoyannis’ cinematic adaptations of three tragedies by Euripides dealing with the Trojan War and its aftermath: Electra (1962)\, The Trojan Women (1971)\, and Iphigenia (1977). The work is in close conversation with Vinyl Euripides (2022)\, Cogswell’s adhesive vinyl installation on three floors of the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation in Athens\, Greece\, which also responded to the cinematic trilogy. By following Cacoyannis’ adaptations\, Cogswell builds on a cross-cultural history of restaging these tragedies to examine the human suffering caused by war\, imperial overreach\, and abuse of power\; and the dehumanizing consequences of revenge as a course of justice.\n\nWithin each drawing multiple scenes from the three narratives are overlaid within single frames\, suggesting the unseen entanglements that bind these ancient stories into such a persistent vision of our human position.\n\nThe grid of paintings encircling the gallery proposes a linear narrative but delivers instead a sequence that loops and turns on itself\, a stuck frame that stutters until bursting in flames. The grid also evokes the net that is a central feature of the series--the web of fate and circumstance that governs each of our lives\, that determines who we are and what is possible for us at any given moment in history.\n\nThe drawings are also characterized by a repeated motif of hands as consuming flames. Hands have unlimited expressive and narrative potential. They testify to the centrality of making in the development of human cognition. They are reminders of the constructed world and the laborers responsible for bringing it into being. We use hands as a form of communication to shape and express our inner states. Hands teach us to feel and to reason\, to count and to indicate. They give us agency\, as creators but also as destroyers. They give form to our willingness to act in the world\, in greed or compassion.\n\n---\n\n**This exhibition is made possible with funding from the Stamps School of Art & Design and the University of Michigan Office of Research.**\n\nFrom the Artist\n\nI am grateful to the Modern Greek Program in the Department of Classical Studies\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts at the University of Michigan\, for their ongoing support for my research and the dissemination of this project.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 3): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through December 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Southeast Michigan-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (September 11 - December 11) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 3 \n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Abhishek Narula (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Nathan Byrne (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nAbhishek Narula\, Compressions \nCompressions is an installation comprised of 416 industrial-grade zip ties\, cinched around the entry pillar of the Stamps Gallery. The pillar measures roughly 110 inches in circumference\, requiring two ties per row to wrap around it\, resulting in 208 rows. The humble zip tie\, typically used to hang and bind other material\, is relegated to its functional properties rendering it unprepossessing and easily dismissed. The zip tie in this installation\, instead serves as an object of aesthetic possibility\, pulling it out of its usual background role to become the work itself. The resulting composition is a proposal to dwell\, to slow down\, and to simply see the pillar.\n\nAbhishek Narula is an artist\, designer\, and educator who works across sculpture\, installation\, sound\, and video. His practice takes the form of interventions\, working with what is already present. He reorients and disrupts objects and sites in order to open up formal possibilities and poetic experiences within the familiar. He is influenced by physical and digital infrastructural systems that sustain modern life and culture. His work treats this ambience itself as raw material for aesthetic inquiry\, exploring themes of labor\, precarity\, temporality and the sublime. Narula earned his MFA in Studio Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and his MS/BS in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His work has been exhibited at national and international venues such as the Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology\, Science Gallery Detroit\, Speculum Artium Media Festival in Slovenia\, New Media Caucus (NMC)\, WaveFarm\, The Boulder Public Library\, The Hyde Park Art Center\, Sector 2337 Art Gallery & Printing Press\, Tangible Embedded Interaction (TEI)\, International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA)\, among others. He is a Robotics Systems Designer and Lecturer in the Robotics Department at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\nNathan Byrne\, Equally To Be Loved\nEqually To Be Loved is an image / object scaled to and installed upon the courtyard pillar of Stamps Gallery. The image is of a spontaneous sculpture made in 2017 during the first day of an artist residency at the Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program. The sculpture was constructed in a storage container studio using 14 discrete objects that were in his studio upon entry. For Byrne\, this work embodies the energy and spirit of a studio at the start of a particularly fecund period of making. This work speaks to the artist’s interest in embodied experience of space\, archival and site responsiveness\, as well as his ongoing engagement with found materials. Byrne considers this project to be a far-flung sequel to his MFA thesis exhibition Equally Empty\, which was shown at Stamps Gallery in 2021. Equally To Be Loved is the second line of the Buddhist mantra from which both titles are derived.\n\nNathan Byrne is an artist / educator / curator currently based in Detroit\, MI. Through spatial and archive responsive projects\, he reimagines\, and explores within frameworks such as language\, the passage of time\, and contemplation. Intrigued by the potential of conveying phenomenal\, transformative\, and emotive states through materiality\, process\, and placement\, he negotiates the pliability of the viewer’s encounters with objects and environments. Byrne holds an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and a BA in Studio Art and Art History from San Francisco State University. He has been a Lecturer at Stamps School of Art & Design since the Fall of 2022. His work is exhibited widely nationally and he is a recipient of the VSC Fellowship at Vermont Studio Center. He has been awarded numerous artist residencies including Anderson Ranch Arts Center\, I-Park\, KHN Center for the Arts\, Prairie Ronde\, Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program\, and Rockland Woods.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Network Complementarities in Maritime Trade Infrastructure: Evidence from the Philippines
DESCRIPTION:This paper tests for network complementarities in port infrastructure by examining whether Roll-On Roll-Off (RORO) upgrades at Fillipino ports generate bilateral trade gains beyond the sum of individual port effects. Using port-to-port commodity flow data\, I find that routes where both ports have RORO trade 23% more than predicted by the individual effects alone. I also propose an interaction event study to investigate the dynamic effects and find evidence that these effects show zero pretrends and have positive dynamic effects. I embed these estimates in an Eaton-Kortum model with island geography and show that complementarity generates a superadditivity premium\, implying coordinated port investments dominate sequential upgrades.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Who Counts? 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. 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.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:For Thee and All the World to See: May 18 Gwangju and the Visual Tenacities of South Korean Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nPresented as part of the University of Michigan’s Democracy Week\, this symposium explores the enduring legacy of the May 18\, 1980 Gwangju Democratization Movement and the role of visual media in shaping South Korea’s democratic consciousness. Organized in conjunction with an exhibition of 90 curated images from the Gwangju 5·18 Archives on campus\, the event bridges historical analysis with living memory. Survivors and eyewitnesses will share their reflections alongside scholars to examine how images and personal testimony break through censorship and serve as vital tools for historical justice—connecting Gwangju’s struggle to global conversations on human rights.\n\nThis event is organized by Nam Center for Korean Studies and co-sponsored by the May 18 Archives\, Center for Democracy & Civic Empowerment\, Department of Political Science\, Center for Emerging Democracies\, the Donia Human Rights Center\, and Asia Library.\n\nOfficial event poster: https://myumi.ch/G7Ge1\n\nParking information: https://myumi.ch/WDpNd \n\nProgram: https://myumi.ch/NXnGp\n\n1:00 - 1:05 / Opening Remarks \nJuhn Ahn / University of Michigan \n\n1:05 - 1:15 / May 18 Gwangju: Brief Historical Overview \nJi Yeon Hong / University of Michigan \n\n1:15 - 2:15 / Witnessing and Documenting Gwangju \nDavid Dolinger / Former Peace Corps Volunteer \n“Called by Another Name – Gwangju’s Impact on a Life”\n\nNa Kyung-taek / Former Jeonnam Daily Photojournalist \n“A Reporter's Eyewitness Account of the Command to Open Fire” \n\nQ & A\n\n2:30 - 3:10 / O-IL-PAL: South Korean Democracy as Performance and Event\nHayana Kim / Ohio State University \n\"The Gwangju Uprising and the Performativity of South Korean Democracy\" \n\nSohl Lee / Stony Brook University \n\"The Photographs of Gwangju in 1980: Uneven Disseminations and Reactivated Events\" \n\n3:10 - 3:25 / Gwangju in the World \nThierry Bonzon / Université Gustave Eiffel \n\n3:25 - 4:00 / Q & A\n\n\nSpeakers: \nJuhn Ahn / University of Michigan\nDirector of the Nam Center for Korean Studies and associate professor of Buddhist and Korean studies\, Juhn Y. Ahn earned his B.A. in Asian studies and religion from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, and his Ph.D. in Buddhist Studies from UC Berkeley. He taught East Asian religions at the University of Toronto from 2006 to 2011. After a year researching religion and Koryŏ history at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton\, NJ\, he joined U-M's Department of Asian Languages and Cultures in 2011. His research covers East Asian religions\, Buddhism\, Chan and Zen\, traditional medicine\, and premodern Korean cultural and economic histories. He has published widely on Japanese Zen\, Zen master Hakuin Ekaku\, traditional medicine in Japan\, Korean Buddhism and Sŏn monasticism\, and Korean film. Major publications include *Buddhas and Ancestors: Religion and Wealth in Fourteenth-Century Korea* (2018)\, *Transgression in Korea* (2018)\, and translations like *The Orthodox Path of Seon* (2023) and *Gongan Collections I* (2012). He is currently co-editing a volume on Koryŏ and contributing to the Cambridge Histories Series\, and is the recipient of awards including the Puri Award\, Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship\, and Kyujanggak Fellowship.\n\nJi Yeon Hong / University of Michigan\nJi Yeon Hong is an associate professor of political science and the Korea Foundation Chair Professor of Korean Politics at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on authoritarian politics\, democratization\, political violence\, and elite behavior under dictatorship in East Asia. Her scholarship has been widely published in leading field publications\, including *the American Journal of Political Science*\, *British Journal of Political Science*\, and *Journal of Politics*. \n\nHer academic path is deeply rooted in the historic political movements she witnessed firsthand. Raised in Seoul\, South Korea\, her experience observing the country's democratization during the 1980s and 1990s inspired her to pursue political science. After earning her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Seoul National University and her Ph.D. from New York University\, she served on the faculty at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) from 2014 to 2022\, where she observed another defining wave of pro-democracy activism before joining U-M.\n\nDavid Dolinger / Former Peace Corps Volunteer\nDavid L. Dolinger is a scientist and global health professional currently working in India. He has played key roles in the development and commercialization of diagnostic solutions with a focus on their practical implementation and use in low- and middle-income countries. His work sits at the intersection of laboratory science\, regulatory rigor\, and a long-standing commitment to social justice and patient-centered care. Over the years he has also taken on advisory and collaborative roles with diagnostic manufacturers and global health partners focused on expanding access to high-quality testing in low- and middle-income countries. \n\nHowever\, this passion and drive would not have fermented to the level if it had not been for his life-forming experiences as a Peace corps volunteer in the Republic of Korea. At the young age of 22\, he travelled for the first time outside of the United States\, landing in south Jeolla province in the small county of Yeongam. He worked in the local health center focusing on tuberculosis control. It was there that he started to understand how diagnostic tests are the foundation of good health care. It was his experiences in and participation in the May 18 Democratization Movement\, in Gwangju that grounded him and has driven him through his life to utilize his talents and understanding of diagnostics to focus on those that are marginalized and ignored.\n\nNa Kyung-taek / Former Photojournalist\nNa Kyung-taek\, former head of the Yonhap News Bureau for Gwangju and Jeonnam\, began his career in journalism in 1967. As a pioneering photojournalist\, he captured the frontlines of the May 18 Democratization Movement\, exposing the truth to the world through his lens. His unwavering journalistic integrity earned him both the Courageous Journalist Award and the Korea Journalist Award.\n\nFollowing his retirement\, Mr. Na continued to serve the public through university lectures and welfare foundation work. He has remained dedicated to sharing the historical significance of May 18 globally\, authoring books such as *When That Day in May Comes Again and We Saw*\, and hosting photo exhibitions across South Korea and internationally\, including in Germany and the United States.\n\nSohl Lee / Stony Brook University\nSohl Lee is associate professor of art history at Stony Brook University (SUNY)\, specializing in modern and contemporary Asian art\, decolonial visual culture\, socially engaged art\, and ecological art history\, with a particular interest in oceanic and transpacific frameworks. Her first book\, *The Minjung Art Movement: Decolonization and Democracy in South Korea* (Duke University Press\, 2026)\, historicizes an influential movement of activist art from the 1970s and 1980s. Her current book project\, *Seaweed as Method: Art History with Oceans\, Multispecies Life\, and Empire* examines the global visual cultures of seaweeds through the intertwined lenses of ecology\, decolonization\, food sovereignty\, and Indigenous onto-epistemologies. She is a recipient of the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching (2020) and has received grants and fellowships from the Social Sciences Research Council (SSRC)\, the Korea Foundation\, the Korean Ministry of Culture\, the Academy of Korean Studies\, the Getty Research Institute\, and the Andy Warhol Foundation\, among others.\n\nHayana Kim / Ohio State University\nHayana Kim is an assistant professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at the Ohio State University. As an interdisciplinary performance and media historian of twentieth- and twenty-first-century South Korea\, her research centers on cultures of democracy in contemporary South Korea. Her teaching is at the intersections of Korean studies\, Asian diasporic studies\, and theatre\, performance\, and media studies. Kim is currently working on her book manuscript entitled *Making P’an for a New World: The Kwangju Uprising\, Women\, and the Performativity of South Korean Democracy*. This project\, based on extensive archival and ethnographic research\, investigates the role of the body and affect in advancing democracy in South Korea by illuminating various forms of performances that women in Kwangju and in broader Chŏlla Province created to bring out insurgent cultural spaces where deaths disavowed by the state and concealed from the public eye emerge into communal memories. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in *Journal of Asian Studies*\, *Asian Theatre Journal*\, and in edited collections published by Cambridge University Press\, Chonnam National University\, among others. She received her Ph.D. from the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Theatre and Drama at Northwestern University.\n\nThierry Bonzon / Université Gustave Eiffel\nThierry Bonzon\, associate professor (Maître de conférences) in contemporary history at Université Gustave Eiffel\, conducts research at the intersection of First World War history and the historical analysis of photography as a primary source. His first line of inquiry examines the local dynamics of wartime sacrifice\, social policy\, and pacifist movements—notably explored through the \"La France pétitionne\" project and the co-organization of the international conference Les défenseurs de la paix\, 1899–1917\, which integrated Peace Studies into French historiography. His second field explores photojournalism and image-based history through two distinct geographical and temporal contexts: a collective project analyzing over 2\,000 photographer-correspondents for l'Humanité documenting social and urban changes in the Paris region (1950s–1990s)\, and a current investigation into the photographic archives of the May 1980 Gwangju Uprising in South Korea. Together\, these projects bridge archival discovery\, public history\, and the study of visual media as a fundamental tool for constructing historical memory.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Place-Based Policies and Development: Special Economic Zones in India
DESCRIPTION:Can place-based policies generate spillovers beyond the places they target? We study this question in the context of India's 2005 Special Economic Zones Act. Using large language models\, we reconstruct each zone's regulatory history over the last two decades. We assemble a novel dataset of exact zone boundaries and link it to India's 600\,000 villages census data and geocoded addresses for 2.9 million firms. We compare locations near zones that start operations with those near zones that have not yet started. We find that operational zones generate substantial local activity. Sales rise by 35 percent for firms inside the zone and 6 percent for nearby firms\, and these gains persist even after the tax holiday expires. In host villages\, non-farm employment rises by 28 percent and the non-farm employment share by 4.3 percentage points over a ten-year period. Employment growth in host villages is concentrated in upstream industries supplying goods and services to firms inside the zones. Consistent with these demand linkages\, new-firm entry near the zone shifts toward industries more exposed to demand from SEZ firms. These patterns are consistent with spillovers from zone openings reaching firms that receive no zone benefits.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Mechanobiology and Synthetic Cells: Understanding and Engineering Adaptive Cellular Systems\n\nAbstract:\nBiological cells and synthetic cell-like systems both rely on dynamic membranes\, molecular organization\, and mechanical interactions with their surroundings to sense\, respond\, and adapt. In this seminar\, I will discuss our lab’s efforts to understand and engineer these behaviors across living and synthetic systems. The first part of the talk will focus on cellular mechanobiology\, with an emphasis on cellular unjamming in three-dimensional environments. While unjamming transitions have been widely studied in collective cell migration and tissue remodeling\, their regulation in 3D remains less understood. I will describe our work investigating how cells transition between solid-like and fluid-like collective behaviors in physiologically relevant environments\, and how these transitions are coupled to cell-generated forces\, matrix interactions\, and multicellular organization.\n\nThe second part of the talk will shift toward bottom-up synthetic biology and the construction of synthetic cells that can sense and respond to environmental cues. I will present our work developing pH-sensing synthetic cells\, designed to detect chemical changes in their surroundings and produce measurable biochemical or physical responses. I will also discuss our efforts to engineer desiccation-resistant synthetic cells\, motivated by the need to create robust cell-like systems that can survive extreme or fluctuating environmental conditions. Together\, these projects highlight how principles from cell mechanobiology\, membrane biophysics\, and synthetic biology can be integrated to understand the design rules of living systems and to build programmable\, resilient cellular mimics.     \nBio:\nAllen Liu received a B.Sc. with Honors in Biochemistry from the University of British Columbia in 2001 and a Ph.D. in Biophysics from the University of California\, Berkeley in 2007\, followed by postdoctoral training at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla. He established his research group in 2012 and is currently Professor of Mechanical Engineering\, Biomedical Engineering\, and Biophysics\, as well as Associate Chair for Graduate Education in Mechanical Engineering\, at the University of Michigan.\n\nHis research focuses on cellular mechanotransduction and bottom-up synthetic biology\, integrating approaches from quantitative cell biology\, synthetic biology\, biophysics\, and microfluidics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Managing the emission and absorption of thermal radiation in large scale energy technologies
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThermal radiation and thermal storage can play crucial roles in alleviating the intensifying pressure on energy systems caused by surging electricity demand\, extreme weather\, and supply-chain constraints. This talk will focus on the development of advanced\, scalable materials for managing thermal radiation and their integration with thermal storage systems. Hot and cold thermal storage is a scalable\, low-cost solution that is maturing rapidly and seeing growing global adoption. To charge and discharge these storage systems\, we have developed materials that control solar and thermal radiation while overcoming fundamental challenges in broadband spectral control\, scalability\, and material stability in harsh environments.\n\nBiography: \nAndrej Lenert is an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan\, where he leads the Lab for Efficient and Enduring Energy Systems (LE3) which conducts research on materials and devices that convert light (photons) into valuable products such as electricity\, high-grade heat\, and sustainable chemicals. He is a pioneer in the fields of thermal photonics and thermophotovoltaics (TPVs). His research group at UM established thin-film back-reflector TPV cells\, now widely used in the manufacture of high performance TPV systems. Dr. Lenert guided the development of air-bridge TPVs from invention to technology and co-founded Heat2Power to see their translation into the market. His inventions include bifacial and multi-terminal TPVs\, aerogel solar collectors\, and high-albedo radiative coolers. Prior to UM and H2P\, he received his PhD at MIT in 2014 where he focused on the development of nanophotonic solar TPV devices which made the MIT Technology Review 2017 list of 10 Breakthrough Technologies.\n\n\nFor the most up to date information on the location\, please check the related link the week of this event

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Masses\, host galaxies\, and origins of supermassive black holes
DESCRIPTION:Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are ubiquitously found at the centers of massive galaxies near and far\, and\nlikely played pivotal roles in shaping the evolution of their host galaxies. Yet\, the origins of SMBHs remain a\nmystery. Recent studies have made significant progress towards a coherent story of SMBH formation since\nCosmic Dawn. In this talk\, I will discuss efforts to reliably measure the masses of distant active SMBHs with\nlight echoes\, and to probe their co-evolution with host galaxies at high redshift. Then I will turn the spotlight to\nthe intriguing high-z population of “little red dots” recently unveiled by JWST\, which may represent a\npromising pathway to forging billion-solar-mass SMBHs in the early Universe. I will end with an advertisement\nof the upcoming Roman eXtreme Deep Field public survey that reaches similar depths as the Hubble UDF/XDF\nbut with an area 140x larger.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Uncovering the complex genetic basis of evolutionary adaptations in the yellow monkeyflower\, Mimulus guttatus
DESCRIPTION:Seminar summary - Understanding how organisms evolve adaptations to diverse environments is crucial to biological research. Despite their importance\, our understanding of the genetic\, physiological\, and developmental mechanisms that drive these adaptations remains limited. In this talk\, I will present significant advancements made by my research group in elucidating these mechanisms in the yellow monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus). Through this research\, my group has uncovered the mechanisms underlying plant adaptations to coastal versus inland habitats in California\, including to seasonal drought\, oceanic salt spray\, and herbivory.  We are currently focused on understanding how chromosomal inversion polymorphisms facilitate the adaptive transition from a perennial to an annual life-history strategy in this system. Overall\, this research enhances our understanding of the mechanisms underlying local adaptation and the intricate relationship between environmental factors and evolutionary genetic processes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: “Ordered to Leave”: Expulsion and the Origins of Jim Crow in Small-town America\, 1890s-1920s
DESCRIPTION:Why is small-town America overwhelmingly white? While we know much about the history of Jim Crow in the South and increasingly in the urban North and South\, we know little about the\nracial system that emerged in small towns outside the South. Focusing on towns in Indiana and Napa Valley\, California\, this talk considers how a culture of expulsion became a distinguishing feature of Jim Crow in small towns. Tensions related to migration\, labor\, and morality fueled racial discourses and practices as expulsion quietly and legally became part of the routine of daily life in small-town America.\n\nStephen A. Berrey is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Associate Professor of American Culture and History at the University of Michigan. He is chair of the James W. Loewen Foundation\, and Director of the Sundown Towns Project (https://justice.tougaloo.edu)\, a public engagement initiative begun by Loewen to document places that have intentionally excluded some racial groups. He is the author of The Jim Crow Routine: Everyday Performances of Race\, Civil Rights\, and Segregation in Mississippi (2015). With the Singing Justice Collective\, a collaboration of scholars and performers\, he is co-author of Black Song: A Manifesto for Music and Justice (forthcoming 2026).\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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Locality as a Design Variable at Interfaces
DESCRIPTION:Interfacial function is often attributed to the few atomic layers at a boundary. For mixed-dimensional interfaces\, however\, how far that influence extends depends strongly on direction. The same boundary can act locally along one crystallographic direction and nonlocally along another\, reaching tens to hundreds of nanometers into adjoining materials. While theory has long recognized such nonlocality\, directly resolving it at functioning interfaces has remained challenging. I argue that the locality of an interface\, the distance over which its influence reaches\, is not a fixed material property but a design variable revealed by resolving the interfacial response in momentum\, space\, and time. My group achieves this using momentum-resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy\, transient absorption spectroscopy\, and time-resolved photoemission microscopy. I will discuss two case studies. In MoOCl2\, an anisotropic van der Waals crystal\, the interface extends far along one in-plane direction while remaining confined along the orthogonal one\, making a single boundary simultaneously local and nonlocal. In cobalt and iron oxides\, the balance is set instead by the material: regions of local bonding and defect trapping can dominate in one oxide\, while strain and interfacial fields carry influence across buried interfaces in another. Together\, these examples show that the role of locality at an interface can be tuned by direction\, structure\, and composition\, providing a route to engineer light–matter interactions for photocatalysis and quantum emitters.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Stephen DeBacker\, the Mahendra Parekh Director of the Center for Inquiry Based Learning\, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Mathematics\, Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Even the Greeks ...\n\nA discussion of Inquiry Based Learning at Michigan\n\nThis event will be delivered both in person and virtually. \n\nThis talk is about Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL)\, a pedagogical method that emphasizes discovery\, analysis\, and investigation as means of deepening students’ understanding of mathematical ideas and applications. Following a brief survey of the history of IBL at the University of Michigan\, we will attempt both to convey the power of IBL and to explain the meaning of the talk’s title through an immersive experience. I will conclude with reflections drawn from my own teaching and learning experiences.\n\nIf you are unable to join us in person\, \nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iPad\, or Android:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/99717161623\n\nPhone one-tap:\n+16469313860\,\,99717161623# US\n+13017158592\,\,99717161623# US (Washington DC)\n\nJoin via audio:\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 780 666 0144 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\nWebinar ID: 997 1716 1623\nInternational numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/axMP7qvbv

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Digging Deeper Lecture | They Wanted Cicero\, They Got Gladiators: Bare-Knuckle Boxers and the Fight for Citizen Identity
DESCRIPTION:This is a story about a lesser-known aspect of our Roman inheritance. The founders looked to the Romans as an ideal for their own republican aspirations: institutions that tempered the excesses of the *populus*\; statesmen like Cicero who projected an unflinching defense of the Republic\; and stories that described their own experiment of strangers fleeing from their homes to carve out a new community from the wilderness. But the United States also inherited another aspect of Rome that grew out of these rugged\, founding stories. It was not the enlightened\, republican body but the gladiatorial body that emerged as a rival conception of what an American looks like. The gladiatorial body\, which received prominence in outlawed\, bare-knuckle boxing\, as well as the theater\, was physically imposing\, violent\, anti-intellectual\, and brash. This talk takes us inside the worlds of the gladiator and bare-knuckle boxer to understand their allure as images of the citizen body.\n\nJoin us in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall to hear from Dr. Dean Hammer\, the John W. Wetzel Professor of Classics and Professor of Government at Franklin and Marshall College. Light refreshments will be available.\n\nThis lecture is being presented in connection with the Kelsey Museum’s temporary exhibition\, “‘There Are in America\, No Kings\, Princes\, or Nobles’: Caesar\, Cato\, and Washington\,” and the University of Michigan’s Democracy Week—a campus-wide initiative designed to highlight the importance of democratic principles\, participation\, and civic empowerment. Funding for this event was provided by the U-M Initiative for Democracy & Civic Empowerment. \n\n“They Wanted Cicero\, They Got Gladiators” is free and open to all visitors. If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FEMINIST 250: Gender and Freedom at the Founding
DESCRIPTION:Join the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) for a lecture by historian Vanessa Holden\, Associate Professor of History at the University of Kentucky and Director of the African American and Africana Studies Program.

Drawing from her scholarship and public humanities work\, Holden will explore how expanding our understanding of who was present at the founding can deepen conversations about democracy\, citizenship\, and belonging in the United States.\nHeld in conjunction with programming surrounding the nation's 250th anniversary and Constitution Day\, the event invites students\, faculty\, staff\, and community members to engage with the complex histories that continue to shape American democracy today.\nCopies of Holden's work and the Summer 2026 special issue of Ms. Magazine\, Feminism and the Founding\, will be available while supplies last.\nVanessa M. Holden (She/Her) is currently an Associate Professor of History and African American and Africana Studies at the University of Kentucky. She is also the director of the Central Kentucky Slavery Initiative.

Broussard First Book Prize from the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic. Surviving Southampton was also shortlisted for the MAAH Stone Book Award. \nDr. Holden is engaged in a number of digital humanities projects. She is the co-organizer of the Queering Slavery Working Group (#QSWG) with Jessica M. Johnson (Johns Hopkins). Dr. Holden currently serves as a lead faculty member for the Freedom on the Move Project\, an open-source crowdsourced database of advertisements for self-emancipated people (often called runaway ads). She is also an advisory board member for the Chronicle of African Americans in the Horse Industry\, a digital humanities project focused on collecting\, preserving\, and making accessible histories of African American involvement in America’s many horse industries.  \nDr. Holden’s writing has been published in Slavery and Abolition: A Journal of Slave and Post-Slave Studies\, Perspectives on History\, Process: A Blog for American History\, The Rumpus\, and Electric Marronage. She also blogs for Black Perspectives\, the official blog of the African American Intellectual History Society (AAIHS)\, and The Junto: A Group Blog on Early American History. Her research and teaching interests include African-American history\, women's and gender history\, the history of the American South\, and U.S. history (pre-1865). \nDr. Holden serves as a faculty adviser and consultant on several public history and digital humanities projects including Freedom on the Move (a digital archive of runaway slave ads)\; Black Horsemen of the Kentucky Turf (an exhibit chronicling the intersecting histories of African Americans and the horse industry in Kentucky)\, and a grant project aimed at bringing a virtual driving tour and a museum to Southampton County\, VA\, that interprets the Southampton Rebellion.\nYou can find Dr. Holden on Twitter @drvholden.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sixth Annual Luis Gomez Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Learning to Read from Mahāyāna Sūtras\n\nWhy read Mahāyāna sūtras? These seemingly fantastical\, overtly manipulative\, frankly baffling ancient texts might seem to have little to attract contemporary readers. I will argue\, however\, that they have much to teach us about the act of reading. Because they assume a sacrificial cosmology in which reading is a ritual for transforming self and world\, they help us to recognize and question the features of our own technologically informed cosmology of reading. In our time\, when reading is often reduced to information transfer or an optional leisure activity\, Mahāyāna sūtras show us how word-born worlds enter and alter our bodyminds. In the process\, they challenge us to rethink\, and experience\, literature differently. Learning to read Mahāyāna sūtras—and learning to read from Mahāyāna sūtras—demands that we recognize the ritual aspects of literature\, Buddhist and beyond.\n\nBiography\n\nNatalie Gummer is Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies and holds the Edwin F. Wilde\, Jr. Distinguished Service Chair at Beloit College\, where she also directs the Center for Integrative Learning. Her research examines textual and ritual practices in premodern Mahāyāna Buddhist literary cultures\, with particular interests in performance\, translation\, and the contemporary ethical possibilities of Buddhist literature. She received her Ph.D. from Harvard University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Holly Bass
DESCRIPTION:\n\nSince 1776\, Americans have used major anniversaries of the nation’s founding to celebrate\, debate\, revise\, and perform the story of the United States. For We Hold These Truths\, her new exhibition opening at UMMA in October 2026\, artist Holly Bass looks to three of those anniversary years—1876\, 1976\, and 2026 to explore how national ideals are staged in public\, preserved in private\, and passed down through generations. \n\nIn this talk\, Bass will discuss the ideas behind We Hold These Truths\, her process of transforming UMMA’s iconic Apse into an environment\, and the role art plays in helping communities consider these varied histories. Drawing from her practice across performance\, visual art\, theater\, writing\, and engagement\, Bass will offer a preview of the exhibition and explain how historic home museums inspired this new body of work.\n\nBass is the 2026 Roman J. Witt Artist In Residence and an award-winning artist and cultural worker based in Washington\, DC. Her work—held in the collections of the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery—frequently engages communities through workshops\, devised theater\, and participatory installations and explores themes of American history\, generational labor\, and liberation. \n\nBass has been recognized with awards for multiple art forms. She received a 2024 Washington Award for art and social justice. She is a 2022 MAP Fund recipient for theater\, a 2020 Live Feed Resident Artist at New York Live Arts for choreography and dance and a 2021–22 Smithsonian Artist Research Fellow. She performed at the 2022 Venice Biennale as part of Loophole of Retreat\, Simone Leigh’s special project for the U.S. Pavilion. She regularly contributes book reviews to the New York Times and was the first journalist to put the term “hip hop theater” into print in a 1999 article for American Theatre magazine. Bass directed an arts program for adjudicated teens in DC’s Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services from 2014 to 2019. From 2019 to 2025\, she served as national director of Turnaround Arts at the Kennedy Center\, a program that increases access to the arts in under-resourced elementary and middle schools. She studied modern dance under Viola Farber and creative writing at Sarah Lawrence College before earning her Master’s degree from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. In fall 2026\, Bass will also be a Towsley Policymaker in Residence at the U-M Ford School of Public Policy.\n\nWe Hold These Truths opens at UMMA on October 3\, 2026. The exhibition and Bass’ Penny Stamps Speaker Series program are presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Residency Program and the University of Michigan Museum of Art.\n\nAbout the University of Michigan Roman J. Witt Residency\n\nThe Roman J. Witt Residency Program\, developed with the support of University of Michigan alumna Penny W. Stamps and named in honor of her father\, is an annual international competition that awards one residency per academic year to a visiting artist/designer who proposes to develop a new work in collaboration with University of Michigan students and faculty.\n\nLead support for the exhibition is provided by the Benedek Endowment Fund for the Humanities\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, the Greg Hodes and Heidi Hertel Hodes Partners in the Arts Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment Fund\, and Stamps School of Art & Design.\n\nPresented in partnership with the U-M Museum of Art\, with support from U.S. at 250\, U-M Ford School of Public Policy\, and the U-M Initiative for Democracy & Civic Empowerment. \n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cake and Ice Cream: Creating a Sense of Belonging at U-M Student Banquets in the Early 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:Dorm dinners and late night snacks with friends and roommates have been a major part of the college experience for generations of students. At U-M this has been true since its founding\, and in the early 1900s the most memorable meals were formal banquets hosted by student organizations. Join us and Professor Lisa Young to learn about these banquets and how they created a sense of belonging for Michigan’s community that lasted long after graduation.\n\nLisa Young is the Volney H. Jones Collegiate Lecturer in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. Long interested in the history of food systems in human society\, she has worked on archaeological digs in the southwestern United States and researched extensively on the history of food at U-M. She attended Michigan as an undergraduate and received her Ph.D. from the University of Arizona.\n\nRefreshments will be provided\, and anyone is welcome to attend this free talk. Registration is recommended for in-person attendance\, and we're glad to welcome anyone who wishes to attend virtually.\n\nThe Making Michigan series is co-sponsored by the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:How AI Might Make And Break America's Justice System
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nMost Americans facing a legal problem\, whether an eviction\, a custody dispute\, or a debt collection suit\, navigate it alone. In three out of four civil cases in state courts\, at least one side has no lawyer\, and the judges and lawyers inside the system are burning out. We will never hire enough lawyers to close this gap.\n\nEnter artificial intelligence. AI tools can now explain legal concepts in plain language\, draft documents\, and guide people through procedures that once required years of training. But the same technology fabricates case citations\, offers no confidentiality\, and could flood overwhelmed courts with new filings\, deepening the very crisis it promises to solve.\n\nDrawing on their work leading Michigan Law's AI Law and Policy Clinic\, where students build and test AI tools with real courts and legal aid organizations\, Bridgette Carr and Vivek Sankaran explore what AI can genuinely fix in the justice system and what it might break.

SUMMARY:Performance:California Guitar Trio
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating 35 years\n\nFor 35 years\, California Guitar Trio (CGT) has redefined what a small ensemble can achieve on one stage. Since forming in 1991\, the group has captivated audiences with a singular sound that fearlessly crisscrosses genres — blending rock\, jazz\, classical\, and global influences\, with the occasional surf or spaghetti Western twist for good measure.\n\nFounded by Paul Richards\, Bert Lams\, and Hideyo Moriya\, CGT emerged from the creative lineage of guitarist Robert Fripp and quickly built a reputation for precision\, interplay\, and adventurous musical exploration. Today\, the trio continues its evolution with Paul Richards\, Bert Lams\, and Chapman Stick player Tom Griesgraber\, who joined the group in 2020. Griesgraber’s addition expanded the ensemble’s sonic palette with deep bass textures\, orchestral layering\, and new harmonic possibilities while preserving CGT’s signature musical language.\n\nEqually known for dazzling musicianship and genuine connection with audiences\, CGT concerts blend intricate three-part counterpoint with storytelling\, humor\, and an inviting stage presence that makes listeners feel like participants rather than spectators.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:2026 Second Year Studio Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAugust 24 - October 18\, 2026\nExhibition Reception: October 1\, 1-2:30 p.m.\n\nIn their second year\, Stamps students complete a major milestone: Second Year Studio (SYS). It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" \n\nStamps Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator Sally Clegg notes\, \"Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now?\" At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. The pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path: experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\n\nAs Course Coordinator\, Stamps Assistant Professor Pedram Baldari both teaches and works directly with all the faculty overseeing each section to collaboratively support the entire class. He offers this reflection on the diverse collection of work on view in this year’s exhibition.\n\nThese works engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\nSYS is intentionally structured around a different learning model than project-based courses. Rather than responding to predetermined assignments\, students identify their own questions and spend an entire semester developing them through research\, experimentation\, critique\, and multiple iterations. The emphasis is not on arriving quickly at a resolved outcome\, but on cultivating the capacity to work independently\, remain responsive to new discoveries\, and allow the project itself to evolve through sustained engagement.\n\nAs a result\, the exhibition presents more than a collection of finished works. It documents different ways of investigating\, testing\, and refining ideas. Some students advance through material experimentation\, others through drawing\, installation\, performance\, digital media\, social engagement\, or speculative approaches. Each project reflects a distinct methodology that has developed through repeated cycles of making\, reflection\, critique\, and revision. In a sense\, the dialectical process generated by the nature of this course is the most significant thread connecting this year’s exhibition. It marks a point at which students begin moving beyond solving assignments toward constructing independent practices\, developing the habits of inquiry\, critical reflection\, and experimentation that will continue to shape their work well beyond SYS.\n\n\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n<ul class=\"twocol\">\n\nNailah Aguilar\n\nAkylah Archer\n\nZachary Berenbaum\n\nSamantha Blaine\n\nLauren Boyce\n\nKas Brajkovic\n\nAnna Browne\n\nLilah Chow\n\nIsabella Cortes\n\nMagdalena Dimovski\n\nLeah Elliott\n\nAya Fadlelzebair\n\nM.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CCPS Photo Exhibition. 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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Hands on Fire
DESCRIPTION:Jim Cogswell: Hands on Fire\n\n**August 31 to October 9\, 2026**\n**Public Reception: Friday\, September 18\, 4:30 to 6:30 pm**\n\nJim Cogswell’s Hands on Fire is a solo exhibition of mixed media drawings at the Residential College Gallery at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The exhibition features sixty works on paper completed between 2024 and 2026.\n\nThis body of work responds to Greek Cypriot filmmaker Michael Cacoyannis’ cinematic adaptations of three tragedies by Euripides dealing with the Trojan War and its aftermath: Electra (1962)\, The Trojan Women (1971)\, and Iphigenia (1977). The work is in close conversation with Vinyl Euripides (2022)\, Cogswell’s adhesive vinyl installation on three floors of the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation in Athens\, Greece\, which also responded to the cinematic trilogy. By following Cacoyannis’ adaptations\, Cogswell builds on a cross-cultural history of restaging these tragedies to examine the human suffering caused by war\, imperial overreach\, and abuse of power\; and the dehumanizing consequences of revenge as a course of justice.\n\nWithin each drawing multiple scenes from the three narratives are overlaid within single frames\, suggesting the unseen entanglements that bind these ancient stories into such a persistent vision of our human position.\n\nThe grid of paintings encircling the gallery proposes a linear narrative but delivers instead a sequence that loops and turns on itself\, a stuck frame that stutters until bursting in flames. The grid also evokes the net that is a central feature of the series--the web of fate and circumstance that governs each of our lives\, that determines who we are and what is possible for us at any given moment in history.\n\nThe drawings are also characterized by a repeated motif of hands as consuming flames. Hands have unlimited expressive and narrative potential. They testify to the centrality of making in the development of human cognition. They are reminders of the constructed world and the laborers responsible for bringing it into being. We use hands as a form of communication to shape and express our inner states. Hands teach us to feel and to reason\, to count and to indicate. They give us agency\, as creators but also as destroyers. They give form to our willingness to act in the world\, in greed or compassion.\n\n---\n\n**This exhibition is made possible with funding from the Stamps School of Art & Design and the University of Michigan Office of Research.**\n\nFrom the Artist\n\nI am grateful to the Modern Greek Program in the Department of Classical Studies\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts at the University of Michigan\, for their ongoing support for my research and the dissemination of this project.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Bookworm #95 - Author Conversation with Jessica M. Lepler\, \"Canal Dreamers: The Epic Quest to Connect the Atlantic and Pacific in the Age of Revolutions\"
DESCRIPTION:Historian and author of \"Canal Dreamers: The Epic Quest to Connect the Atlantic and Pacific in the Age of Revolutions\,\" Jessica M. Lepler walks us through the failed idea to build the world’s first interoceanic canal.\n\nIn the 1820s\, there was a little-known dream to unite the world by building a waterway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. As Spanish American nations declared independence and new canals intensified US expansion and British industrialization\, many imagined the construction of an interoceanic canal as predestined.\n\nAlthough the idea of literally changing the world by connecting the oceans proved too revolutionary for the Age of Revolution\, the quest itself changed history. Canal dreams prompted political transformations\, financial crisis\, recognition of new countries\, concern about climate change\, and more. Full of adventure\, corruption\, far-reaching consequences\, and present-day parallels\, Lepler’s absorbing narrative cuts through two centuries\, revealing that dreams do not need to come true to make history.\n\nThis episode is sponsored by an anonymous Bookworm patron.\n\nThe Clements Bookworm is a free monthly webinar series featuring guests discussing topics in American history.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Innovation Policy in Product-Line Markets: Evidence from GPUs
DESCRIPTION:I study the effects of innovation policies in product-line markets\, using a dynamic oligopoly model with endogenous pricing\, product-line adjustment\, and R&D. I apply the model to the desktop GPU market\, a duopoly between NVIDIA and AMD. I find that a dollar of R&D generates about $9.0 of within-market surplus net of that dollar\, with the firms capturing $3.0 and consumers the rest. But the return to public support is far more modest. I simulate three stylized interventions: an R&D credit and two product rebates\, one at the cutting edge and one on the mass market. Only the R&D credit induces a material increase in private R&D\, but it returns only $0.51 of surplus per public dollar because additionality is low: most of its outlay reimburses research the firms would have conducted anyway. The rebate on cutting-edge products returns only $0.23 per public dollar and sets back the technology frontier. Subsidizing both firms\, it ignites a price war at the top of the line\, benefiting consumers but undercutting the reason firms advance the frontier. The mass-market rebate sets off the same war lower down the product line but expands adoption enough that R&D survives\, returning $1.09 per public dollar. These results suggest that innovation policy in product-line markets is a more intricate design problem than in markets with simpler structure. Each instrument induces a distinct equilibrium response in prices\, qualities\, and R&D. The static and dynamic components of that response can offset or reinforce each other\, attenuating or even reversing the intended effect.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MonarchAttention: Zero-Shot Conversion to Fast Structured Attention
DESCRIPTION:Transformers have achieved state-of-the-art performance across various tasks\, but suffer from a notable quadratic complexity in sequence length due to the attention mechanism. In this talk\, I will share our work on MonarchAttention – a novel approach to sub-quadratic attention approximation via Monarch matrices\, an expressive class of structured matrices. \nBased on the variational form of softmax\, we describe an efficient optimization-based algorithm to compute an approximate projection of softmax attention onto the class of Monarch matrices with Θ(N √N d) computational complexity and Θ(N d) memory and IO complexity. We show with experiments that unlike previous approaches\, MonarchAttention is both (1) transferable\, yielding minimal performance loss with no additional training\, even when replacing every attention layer of the transformer\, and (2) hardware-efficient\, utilizing the highest-throughput tensor core units on modern GPUs. With optimized kernels\, MonarchAttention achieves substantial speed-ups in wall clock time over FlashAttention-2: 1.4× for shorter sequences (N = 256) and 8.2× for longer sequences (N = 16K). \nWe demonstrate the quality of MonarchAttention on diverse tasks and architectures in vision and language problems\, showing that it flexibly and accurately approximates softmax attention in a variety of contexts. This work is with Can Yaras\, Alec Xu\, Pierre Abillama\, and Changwoo Lee. Our code is available at https://github.com/cjyaras/monarch-attention.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 3): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through December 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Southeast Michigan-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (September 11 - December 11) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 3 \n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Abhishek Narula (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Nathan Byrne (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nAbhishek Narula\, Compressions \nCompressions is an installation comprised of 416 industrial-grade zip ties\, cinched around the entry pillar of the Stamps Gallery. The pillar measures roughly 110 inches in circumference\, requiring two ties per row to wrap around it\, resulting in 208 rows. The humble zip tie\, typically used to hang and bind other material\, is relegated to its functional properties rendering it unprepossessing and easily dismissed. The zip tie in this installation\, instead serves as an object of aesthetic possibility\, pulling it out of its usual background role to become the work itself. The resulting composition is a proposal to dwell\, to slow down\, and to simply see the pillar.\n\nAbhishek Narula is an artist\, designer\, and educator who works across sculpture\, installation\, sound\, and video. His practice takes the form of interventions\, working with what is already present. He reorients and disrupts objects and sites in order to open up formal possibilities and poetic experiences within the familiar. He is influenced by physical and digital infrastructural systems that sustain modern life and culture. His work treats this ambience itself as raw material for aesthetic inquiry\, exploring themes of labor\, precarity\, temporality and the sublime. Narula earned his MFA in Studio Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and his MS/BS in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His work has been exhibited at national and international venues such as the Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology\, Science Gallery Detroit\, Speculum Artium Media Festival in Slovenia\, New Media Caucus (NMC)\, WaveFarm\, The Boulder Public Library\, The Hyde Park Art Center\, Sector 2337 Art Gallery & Printing Press\, Tangible Embedded Interaction (TEI)\, International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA)\, among others. He is a Robotics Systems Designer and Lecturer in the Robotics Department at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\nNathan Byrne\, Equally To Be Loved\nEqually To Be Loved is an image / object scaled to and installed upon the courtyard pillar of Stamps Gallery. The image is of a spontaneous sculpture made in 2017 during the first day of an artist residency at the Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program. The sculpture was constructed in a storage container studio using 14 discrete objects that were in his studio upon entry. For Byrne\, this work embodies the energy and spirit of a studio at the start of a particularly fecund period of making. This work speaks to the artist’s interest in embodied experience of space\, archival and site responsiveness\, as well as his ongoing engagement with found materials. Byrne considers this project to be a far-flung sequel to his MFA thesis exhibition Equally Empty\, which was shown at Stamps Gallery in 2021. Equally To Be Loved is the second line of the Buddhist mantra from which both titles are derived.\n\nNathan Byrne is an artist / educator / curator currently based in Detroit\, MI. Through spatial and archive responsive projects\, he reimagines\, and explores within frameworks such as language\, the passage of time\, and contemplation. Intrigued by the potential of conveying phenomenal\, transformative\, and emotive states through materiality\, process\, and placement\, he negotiates the pliability of the viewer’s encounters with objects and environments. Byrne holds an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and a BA in Studio Art and Art History from San Francisco State University. He has been a Lecturer at Stamps School of Art & Design since the Fall of 2022. His work is exhibited widely nationally and he is a recipient of the VSC Fellowship at Vermont Studio Center. He has been awarded numerous artist residencies including Anderson Ranch Arts Center\, I-Park\, KHN Center for the Arts\, Prairie Ronde\, Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program\, and Rockland Woods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Who Counts? 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Democracy Week | Beacon of Democratic Resilience: Visual Truths and the Legacy of Korea's 5·18 Democratization Movement - A Photographic Archive of the May 1980 People’s Uprising in Korea
DESCRIPTION:Link to the official event poster: \nhttps://myumi.ch/kVdVV\n\nFor parking information\, please visit this link: https://www.dc.umich.edu/about-the-dc/maps-floor-plans-hours/#parking\n\nExhibition Opening Event: \n- When: Friday\, September 18\, 5 pm to 6 pm\n- Where: Duderstadt Center Gallery\n- Open to the public\n- Description: Please join us for the opening of this photo exhibition. The event will feature remarks by the organizers\, the exhibition curators\, one of the featured photojournalists\, and a former Peace Corps volunteer who has stood in solidarity with the people of Gwangju since 1980. Light refreshments are provided. \n\n*Exhibition Description*\nThis photo exhibition features 90 curated images from the UNESCO-inscribed May 18 Archives. Documenting the May 18–27\, 1980 democratization uprising in Gwangju\, South Korea\, the collection captures the shift from peaceful student protests to military violence and unified citizen resistance\, carried out under a complete blackout as civilians and photojournalists risked their lives to photograph atrocities and smuggle film past cordons. Beyond serving as historical artifacts\, these preserved visual truths offer a living blueprint for popular resilience against authoritarianism\, transforming local trauma into a universal defense of human rights. Displaying these records at Michigan bridges 1980 Gwangju with our present moment\, inviting viewers to engage past resistance in the ongoing effort to defend democracy today.\n\n*Exhibition Composition*\nThe exhibit will be composed of a visual narrative comprised of six chronological sections and two additional special sections:\n\n1. Protest (May 5–16\, 1980): \nFollowing the collapse of Park Chung-hee’s military dictatorship in October\, 1979\, Gwangju students and citizens held peaceful rallies for campus autonomy and the end of martial law. Photos from this era show orderly marches and hopeful faces\, capturing a society on the brink of change before the structural contradictions shifted toward state-led violence. \n\n2. Suppression (May 18–19\, 1980): \nA new junta government led by Chun Doo-hwan extended martial law to the entire country on May 17. Students at Chonnam National University protested against the new junta government’s decision. State violence escalated as paratroopers\, who were deployed to Gwangju\, engaged student protesters. Streets became scenes of brutal beatings and kidnappings. Beyond documenting victims\, the images on display in this section serve as primary historical evidence and legal proof of the military's methods and the sudden transformation of citizens into targets of control. \n\n3. Uprising (May 20–21\, 1980): \nThe movement shifted into a popular struggle. Vehicles lined up in Gwangju’s main thoroughfare\, Geumnam-ro. This massive vehicle parade symbolized the people becoming active subjects of resistance. The military was given the order to use live ammunition against civilians. In reaction\, the city became a space of voluntary mobilization and citizens emerged as historical political actors. \n\n4. Resistance (May 22–26\, 1980): \nWhile isolated and cut off from communications\, Gwangju established an autonomous system of self-governance. Photos in this section testify to the efforts made to establish a sense of order based on solidarity—sharing food and donating blood—rather than chaos. The formation of this \"Daedong (Great Unity) Community\" and the visual documentation thereof serve as foundations of democracy in South Korea. \n\n5. Massacre (May 27\, 1980): \nThe uprising was crushed by a dawn military operation. While the armed resistance ended\, the resulting photographs of the aftermath reveal the stark reality of the massacre. These images became the catalyst for future truth-seeking movements and the pursuit of historical justice in South Korea. \n\n6. Mourning: \nScenes of coffins\, portraits\, and silent vigils represent a collective ethical gaze. During this period\, mourning was more than a display of grief\; it was a communal act used to redefine the city’s identity and establish new moral standards for justice.\n\n7. Special Section A: The Photographers\nThis special section highlights the domestic and international photographers who documented the uprising. This includes Korean journalists alongside US journalists Robin Moyer and Norman Thorpe\, French correspondents Patrick Chauvel and François Lochon\, and German cinematographer Jürgen Hinzpeter. Their images transcend simple reporting\, reflecting a moral commitment to record and a historical duty to ensure remembrance. Rather than viewing these photos solely as evidence\, the exhibition reinterprets them through a lens of photographic history—examining their context\, distribution\, and how they transformed raw records into social truth and collective memory.\n\n8. Special Section B: The Peace Corps: Americans Who Helped Gwangju\nWhen Gwangju was isolated under martial law in May 1980\, four American Peace Corps volunteers—Tim Warnberg\, David Lee Dolinger\, Judi Chamberlin\, and Paul Courtright—refused to leave\, choosing instead to assist the wounded\, aid foreign journalists\, and ultimately expose the truth to the world. Those pivotal ten days reshaped their lives into lifelong commitments to human rights\, inspiring decades of memoirs\, academic writings\, and testimonies. Through photographs\, video footage\, and personal records\, this section traces their journey from eyewitnesses to active defenders of human dignity\, inviting us to reflect on what it truly means to take a stand in the face of another’s suffering. \n\nTwo additional events programmed in conjunction with this photo exhibition\n1. Symposium: \n“For Thee and All the World to See: May 18 Gwangju and the Visual Tenacities of South Korean Democracy”\nhttps://myumi.ch/mVdVJ \n\n2. Third Thursday at the Library: \nDemocracy in Motion: The Advancement of Democracy in Korea and the Students at the Frontline\nhttps://myumi.ch/rwdwn \n\nContent Warning: This exhibition contains historical photographs documenting the 1980 Gwangju Democratization Movement\, including graphic depictions of violence\, state military suppression\, injuries\, and grief. Viewer discretion is advised.\n\nThis exhibit is co-sponsored by the May 18 Archives\, Center for Democracy & Civic Empowerment\, Department of Political Science\, Center for Emerging Democracies\, Donia Human Rights Center\, Asia Library\, and Duderstadt Center.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

This presentation will discuss a mix of fundamental research carried out at Columbia\, sponsored by the federal government\, and research in support of the growing private fusion sector\, sponsored directly by industry. Technical topics to be discussed will be in the area fusion systems design\, applied plasma physics in support of fusion industry\, and new initiatives in fusion technology applied to magnets\, blankets\, and fuel cycles. The role of partnerships will be emphasized\, whether in collaboration with industry\, national laboratories\, or international partners.\n\nBio:\nCarlos Paz-Soldan is an Associate Professor of Applied Physics and Director of the Fusion Research Center at Columbia University in the City of New York. He received his B.Sc.E degree in Engineering Physics from Queen’s University at Kingston in 2007 and his Ph.D degree in Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2012. After his Ph.D he worked as a scientist at General Atomics in San Diego until he was appointed with tenure to Columbia in 2021. Prof. Paz-Soldan’s activities are motivated by the desire to solve the scientific and technological challenges standing in the way of harnessing controlled fusion energy on earth. He has contributed particularly to developing solutions for transient off-normal event control in magnetic fusion devices. Prof. Paz-Soldan is the recipient of the Marshall N. Rosenbluth Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Prize in 2013 and the Thomas H. Stix Award for Outstanding Early Career Contributions to Plasma Physics Research in 2021\, both from the American Physical Society. He became an APS fellow in 2024.\n\n\nThe NERS Colloquia Series invites leading researchers\, industry experts\, and thought leaders from across the nuclear engineering and radiological sciences community to share their insights with students\, faculty\, and guests. Covering a wide range of topics—from cutting-edge research and emerging technologies to policy\, education\, and professional development—the weekly talks offer an opportunity to explore current issues and innovations shaping the future of the field.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:A Conversation with Matt Rothman of Disney & ESPN
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in exploring where a career in Media can take you? Join us for an informal virtual presentation and conversation with LSA Alum and ESPN Corporate Strategist\, Matt Rothman! During this event\, Matt will discuss his journey from LSA student to being a corporate strategist for the industry leader in sports entertainment. After a brief presentation\, we will open up a conversational Q&A where you will be able to answer questions about Matt's journey\, what it's like to work for a major media organization\, and industry wisdom that can only come from years of experience in the field.\n\nAbout Matt in his own words:\n\"I've spent my career at the intersection of sports\, media\, and strategy\, doing the kind of work where the stakes are high and the answers aren't obvious.\n\nAt ESPN\, that meant building the models behind major live rights negotiations\, helping launch the company's first branded sports betting partnership and leading a cross-company effort to rethink how we grow and engage the next generation of sports fans. It's the work I've found most energizing: complex\, consequential and often without a clear playbook.\n\nMy background spans both sides of the analytical and strategic divide\, starting in research and analytics before moving into corporate strategy\, which means I'm as comfortable in the data as I am in the boardroom. I've advised C-suite leaders\, built frameworks that shaped nine-figure deals and worked across content\, product\, finance\, distribution and beyond to drive decisions with lasting impact.\"

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Specter of Discrimination: Employment-Contingent Mobility and the Anticipatory Recognition of Racism among Black Tech Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Workplace discrimination in professional occupations remains an important mechanism through which racial inequality is reproduced. Yet existing research tends to conceptualize discrimination through identifiable incidents or interactions\, leaving less understood how workers experience racialized treatment that is diffuse\, cumulative\, or difficult to translate into institutionally recognizable terms. In order to fill this gap\, this research draws on 140 in-depth interviews with college-educated Black professionals to investigate how workers perceive\, interpret\, and respond to racialized treatment in professional workplaces. Findings reveal a striking uncertainty among participants regarding assessments of discrimination and their broader accounts of workplace life. While participants described racialized comments\, differential evaluations\, heightened scrutiny\, exclusion\, disproportionate workloads\, and other forms of differential treatment that accumulated across interactions and organizational processes\, they often did so without producing a singular incident they considered sufficiently consequential\, provable\, or reportable as discrimination. Notably\, 35% of these accounts came from individuals who had reported experiencing little or no discrimination in a pre-interview survey. I conceptualize this diffuse organizational presence as the specter of discrimination: the pervasive sense that race structures how one is perceived and treated at work even when its effects cannot always be located within a singular\, discrete discriminatory event. The specter generates racialized interpretive and vigilant labor as workers scrutinize interactions and organizational decisions\, assess their cumulative implications\, anticipate future treatment\, and\, at times\, question whether what they experienced was racial discrimination at all. By shifting analytical attention from discrimination as a discrete event to racialization as an organizational presence that is experienced cumulatively across workplace life\, this study expands sociological understandings of how racial inequality is perceived\, navigated\, and reproduced in contemporary professional workplaces.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:What’s Reading Got to Do with It?: Reading to Support Writing in Graduate School
DESCRIPTION:Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away\, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.\n\nThis workshop will address how you can read strategically to support your work as a writer in your academic field and discipline.\n\nWhat is the relationship between reading and writing for academic purposes? How can you read to support your work as a writer in your specific academic field and discipline? In this 50-minute Rackham/Sweetland workshop\, you will discover answers to these questions through guided reflection on your current reading (and writing) practices\, as well as a hands-on introduction to specific reading strategies that support writing. You'll also leave with additional resources and ideas for how to continue to explore and develop the reading-writing connection in your own academic work.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Bounds for Boundedly Rational Choice
DESCRIPTION:We introduce a novel framework to enhance our understanding of behavioral heterogeneity. At the core of our investigation is the question of when and how individual behavior can be accurately inferred from aggregate data\, particularly when individuals are susceptible to mistakes. Addressing this challenge requires bridging the gap between unobserved individual choices and observed aggregate outcomes. To this end\, we first present the “bounds” framework\, designed to constrain deviations from rational choice systematically. Then\, we establish com- prehensive results on “decomposability\,” a key property ensuring that aggregate choice behavior accurately mirrors the underlying characteristics of individual decision-making within a population.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Extremal set theory as algebraic geometry
DESCRIPTION:Extremal set theory asks questions such as \"what is the largest family of pairwise intersecting k-element subsets of an n-element set?\"  Many questions of this type can be modeled with exterior algebras\, and admit extensions such as \"what is the largest self-annihilating subspace of k-forms in an n-variable exterior algebra?\"  The shifting technique in extremal set theory corresponds to algebraic geometric limits of certain curves in a Grassmannian.\n\nIn this talk\, I will overview these connections\, and go on to discuss recent joint work with Bulavka and Gandini.  We find a maximum subspace of k-forms in an n-variable exterior algebra that is self-annihilating but not annihilated by any 1-form.  A difficulty is that \"not annihilated by any 1-form\" is not a closed condition in the Grassmannian.  This work extends the Hilton-Milner theorem of extremal set theory to the exterior algebra setting\, and answers questions of Scott and Wilmer and of my own.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Foundation models and agentic AI for discovery in fluid mechanics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  In this seminar we discuss a unified framework that combines explainable deep learning\, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and foundation models to advance both understanding and control of turbulence\, with direct implications for accelerated design and discovery. First\, we will show how explainable deep learning techniques can be used to identify the flow features that are truly responsible for key turbulent processes in wall-bounded flows. By systematically interrogating trained neural networks\, we uncover the most influential coherent structures driving momentum transport and drag. Our results reveal that classically studied structures (while important) provide only a partial and sometimes misleading perspective\, motivating a more data-driven and physics-aware view of turbulence organization. Building on these insights\, we will demonstrate how deep reinforcement learning can be used to actively control turbulent flows by targeting the dynamically relevant structures identified through explainability. This approach achieves over 30% drag reduction in canonical wall-bounded turbulence and extends naturally to more complex configurations\, including turbulent wings\, highlighting the scalability of learning-based control strategies. Finally\, we will introduce a foundation-model-based framework for accelerated design\, optimization and scientific discovery. By learning compact\, interpretable latent representations of high-dimensional flow physics\, these models (combined with agentic-AI systems) enable rapid exploration of design spaces\, causal reasoning and closed-loop optimization\, bridging the gap between expensive simulations\, control and engineering decision making. Together\, these results illustrate how explainable and agentic AI are becoming essential for turbulence physics\, flow control and next-generation engineering design.\n\n\nContact:  Silas Alben

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Bernstein-Sato polynomials and log resolutions by orbifolds
DESCRIPTION:The Bernstein-Sato polynomial is an important invariant of singularities\, intimately related to the monodromy of the Milnor fiber\, the log canonical threshold\, and rational and Du Bois singularities. A classical method introduced by Kashiwara and refined by Lichtin provides estimates for the roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial in terms of a log resolution. In this talk\, we extend their method to log resolutions by orbifolds\, which has applications to the singularities of weighted homogeneous and Khovanskii non-degenerate complete intersections.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Raquel Alonso-Perez
DESCRIPTION:Where a gemstone or a grain of gold comes from is no longer a question only paper trails can answer. Emeralds show what is possible: using the largest global dataset available\, more than 1\,000 LA-ICP-MS analyses of gem-quality emeralds\, machine learning models trained on just eight trace elements (Li\, V\, Cr\, Fe\, Sc\, Ga\, Rb\, Cs) determine geographic origin with 96.8% accuracy. Gold is the harder problem\, and the more urgent: illegal mining in the Amazon drives mercury contamination and opaque supply chains. We are now applying the same architecture to native gold\, building the curated reference datasets needed to test whether source-related groupings can be resolved across the geologically heterogeneous Amazonian craton\, a stringent challenge given low trace-element concentrations and overlapping geochemical signatures. Built on well-documented reference collections such as Harvard's and partner Brazilian institutions\, this work provides an initial basis for geochemical screening of mercury-linked illicit supply chains\, and a template for the future of mineral traceability.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Rummana Hussain's Feminist Cosmopolitics
DESCRIPTION:In her relatively brief career\, the Indian artist Rummana Hussain (1952-1999) straddled painting\, drawing\, performance\, video\, and installation. She turned to the latter three modes in the mid-nineties\, following the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya and the ensuing anti-Muslim violence in her adopted city of Bombay. This talk will analyze Hussain’s shifting approach to her artistic practice during this period\, as her postmodernist allegories in paint gave way to feminist interrogations of identity\, representation and signification using objects\, language and the body.\n\nRattanamol Singh Johal is the Shireen and Afzal Ahmad Assistant Professor in history of art at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. His current book project\, *Forms of Despair*\, offers an account of experimental\, lens and time-based art emerging in India in the final decades of the twentieth century as metropolitan artists were confronted with the limitations and failings of their postcolonial\, cosmopolitan imaginaries.\n\nImage caption: Rummana Hussain\, Living on the Margins\, 1995.

Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Community Service:ISBA Education Session 3: Networking and Coffee Chats
DESCRIPTION:From navigating the infamous networking “circles of death” at company presentations to figuring out who to reach out to and what to actually say in a coffee chat\, networking during recruiting can feel awkward\, daunting\, and unclear.\nIn this in-person ISBA Education Session\, we’ll break down networking and coffee chats across different recruiting paths\, including consulting\, finance\, tech\, general management\, and more. We’ll cover how to use alumni outreach\, corporate presentations\, treks\, club events\, and one-on-one conversations effectively\; who to prioritize\; how to manage follow-ups\; and how to make conversations feel more natural and less transactional.\nYou’ll hear directly from MBA2s across different recruiting paths:\n1. Keshav Muralitharan – Lincoln International\, Investment Banking\n2. ⁠Aditya Verma – Colgate-Palmolive\, General Management \n3. ⁠Debdeep (Neel) Ghosal – McKinsey & Company\, Consulting \n4. ⁠Shirley Giraldo – Samsung Electronics\, Strategy / Partnerships\n\nDate: September 18\, 2026\nTime: 4:00 - 5:00 PM\nVenue: Ross R2220\nRSVP now to MaizePages!

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Artist Reception - all welcome!
DESCRIPTION:Jim Cogswell: Hands on Fire\n\n**August 31 to October 9\, 2026**\n**Public Reception: Friday\, September 18\, 4:30 to 6:30 pm**\n\nJim Cogswell’s Hands on Fire is a solo exhibition of mixed media drawings at the Residential College Gallery at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The exhibition features sixty works on paper completed between 2024 and 2026.\n\nThis body of work responds to Greek Cypriot filmmaker Michael Cacoyannis’ cinematic adaptations of three tragedies by Euripides dealing with the Trojan War and its aftermath: Electra (1962)\, The Trojan Women (1971)\, and Iphigenia (1977). The work is in close conversation with Vinyl Euripides (2022)\, Cogswell’s adhesive vinyl installation on three floors of the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation in Athens\, Greece\, which also responded to the cinematic trilogy. By following Cacoyannis’ adaptations\, Cogswell builds on a cross-cultural history of restaging these tragedies to examine the human suffering caused by war\, imperial overreach\, and abuse of power\; and the dehumanizing consequences of revenge as a course of justice.\n\nWithin each drawing multiple scenes from the three narratives are overlaid within single frames\, suggesting the unseen entanglements that bind these ancient stories into such a persistent vision of our human position.\n\nThe grid of paintings encircling the gallery proposes a linear narrative but delivers instead a sequence that loops and turns on itself\, a stuck frame that stutters until bursting in flames. The grid also evokes the net that is a central feature of the series--the web of fate and circumstance that governs each of our lives\, that determines who we are and what is possible for us at any given moment in history.\n\nThe drawings are also characterized by a repeated motif of hands as consuming flames. Hands have unlimited expressive and narrative potential. They testify to the centrality of making in the development of human cognition. They are reminders of the constructed world and the laborers responsible for bringing it into being. We use hands as a form of communication to shape and express our inner states. Hands teach us to feel and to reason\, to count and to indicate. They give us agency\, as creators but also as destroyers. They give form to our willingness to act in the world\, in greed or compassion.\n\n---\n\n**This exhibition is made possible with funding from the Stamps School of Art & Design and the University of Michigan Office of Research.**\n\nFrom the Artist\n\nI am grateful to the Modern Greek Program in the Department of Classical Studies\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts at the University of Michigan\, for their ongoing support for my research and the dissemination of this project.

Some might even call him a “tour de force” as his songs pull no punches in evoking the demons with which he has wrestled through much of his life. \n\nThe GRAMMY-nominated multi-platinum singer/songwriter’s early releases\, I’m About To Come Alive\, The Sound Of A Million Dreams\, I’m A Fire and Fighter\, ignited his reputation as an innovator and creative risk-taker yet left Nail feeling restless. This led to the departure of the only record company home he’d ever known\, MCA Nashville\, where he’d formed friendships that endure even now. Through dealing with his own journey of mental health and the feeling of needing to “rebel against what people expect you to be\,” Nail began making his most “organic” work to date\, David Nail & The Well Ravens\, with Jason Hall and Andrew Petroff. That project liberated Nail and propelled him into his next adventure. Writing solo for the next few months led to his debut solo independent EP Oh\, Mother\, a reflective piece of work. Of the title track\, Rolling Stone noted that “the song creeps in like a sunrise — quiet\, restrained cello and keys are the only underpinning for Nail’s powerful vocals at first. But then it slowly builds to something more massive and majestic.” That release was followed by Bootheel 2020 and Bootheel 2021\, projects dedicated to the singer/songwriter’s hometown in the “bootheel” of Missouri. Nail released an EP titled Best of Me in 2023 and the title track has seen heavy press support and country radio airplay. 2024 brought more touring than ever\, two great single releases “If I Could Call” and “Why” featuring Aubrie Sellers. \n\nNail plans on releasing the start of an excitingly different and elevated album project this year leaving behind any self-imposed restrictions. In Nail’s own words\, “My philosophy has always been\, I just hope to have a good enough year that I can have a next year while staying as true to myself as I possibly can.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:2026 Second Year Studio Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAugust 24 - October 18\, 2026\nExhibition Reception: October 1\, 1-2:30 p.m.\n\nIn their second year\, Stamps students complete a major milestone: Second Year Studio (SYS). It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" \n\nStamps Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator Sally Clegg notes\, \"Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now?\" At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. The pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path: experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\n\nAs Course Coordinator\, Stamps Assistant Professor Pedram Baldari both teaches and works directly with all the faculty overseeing each section to collaboratively support the entire class. He offers this reflection on the diverse collection of work on view in this year’s exhibition.\n\nThese works engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\nSYS is intentionally structured around a different learning model than project-based courses. Rather than responding to predetermined assignments\, students identify their own questions and spend an entire semester developing them through research\, experimentation\, critique\, and multiple iterations. The emphasis is not on arriving quickly at a resolved outcome\, but on cultivating the capacity to work independently\, remain responsive to new discoveries\, and allow the project itself to evolve through sustained engagement.\n\nAs a result\, the exhibition presents more than a collection of finished works. It documents different ways of investigating\, testing\, and refining ideas. Some students advance through material experimentation\, others through drawing\, installation\, performance\, digital media\, social engagement\, or speculative approaches. Each project reflects a distinct methodology that has developed through repeated cycles of making\, reflection\, critique\, and revision. In a sense\, the dialectical process generated by the nature of this course is the most significant thread connecting this year’s exhibition. It marks a point at which students begin moving beyond solving assignments toward constructing independent practices\, developing the habits of inquiry\, critical reflection\, and experimentation that will continue to shape their work well beyond SYS.\n\n\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n<ul class=\"twocol\">\n\nNailah Aguilar\n\nAkylah Archer\n\nZachary Berenbaum\n\nSamantha Blaine\n\nLauren Boyce\n\nKas Brajkovic\n\nAnna Browne\n\nLilah Chow\n\nIsabella Cortes\n\nMagdalena Dimovski\n\nLeah Elliott\n\nAya Fadlelzebair\n\nM.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Down in Ann Arbor Town: Pictorial Maps\, Campus Traditions\, and the Women Who Made Them
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the centennial of the iconic 1926 “Down in Ann Arbor Town” map by exploring the colorful history\, campus traditions\, and detailed artistry that made it possible. Created by Jessie Horton Koessler (Class of 1901) to help fund the Michigan League building for women\, this celebrated map provides a fascinating view into 1920s campus life and the women who shaped it. Through three distinct exhibit sections\, journey from the campus history that led to the map’s creation to a broader look at early 20th-century pictorial mapmaking.\n\nWhile enjoying the exhibit\, pick up a scavenger hunt at the Clark Library desk that will inspire you to notice whimsical details in the maps discussed. Return your scavenger hunt at the desk for a small prize\, while supplies last.\n\nJoin the curators — Ava Pustulka (’28) and Anna Rohl\, map curator at Clark Library — for a presentation on September 24 (https://myumi.ch/X8y3r)\, where they will share the research that went into creating the exhibit.
