Within this talk\, I will provide an overview of past scholarship I have conducted in this area on breastfeeding in the workplace and postpartum depression. Then\, I will discuss our research on postpartum allyship—specific behaviors that coworkers and managers can enact to support and advocate for working mothers during their reentry process postpartum. To do so\, I will highlight findings from three complementary studies. In Study 1\, we adopted a qualitative approach to gain insight into the forms of allyship working mothers found valuable. We then build upon these findings in Study 2 by developing and validating a scale of postpartum allyship. Finally\, in Study 3\, integrating emergent themes from our qualitative data with tenets of the social cognitive model of career self-management (Lent & Brown\, 2013\, 2019)\, we use our newly-developed measure in a time-lagged study focused on the cognitive\, affective\, and behavioral impact of postpartum mothers’ experiences of allyship. Results indicated that postpartum allyship experiences bolster work-motherhood self- efficacy and reduce guilt which\, in turn\, yield important implications for working mothers’ turnover intentions\, work-family capital\, and postpartum depressive symptoms. Across these papers\, I aim to bring theoretical and practical attention to how to best support working mothers.

Inspired by these functions\, researchers have been integrating tail-like appendages into robotic designs to enhance robot movement\, demonstrating significant improvements in control\, stability\, and efficiency.\n\nHowever\, current studies often simplify animal tails to a single rigid link. While this simplification streamlines the modeling and control of tail-like appendages\, it might overlook the potential impacts of having more articulated tails\, raising questions about the insights that might be missed by this \"reductionist\" approach.\n\nImproved models\, which incorporate the detailed structure of animal tails\, offer a more in-depth approach to uncovering the biological principles of the tail’s contributions to animal locomotion\, particularly those of high performance which people have a keen interest in. These models can influence the design of bio-inspired robots. Additionally\, they hold the potential to guide researchers toward more informative and appropriate simplified models that might not solely consist of a single rigid link. However\, while holding considerable value for advancing both biological understanding and robotic research\, these improved models exhibit much greater complexity. This renders the analysis and control of them computationally challenging. Hence\, devising methods that alleviate the computational load in the analysis and control of complex systems\, while still retaining a high degree of accuracy in the depiction of their dynamic behavior\, is of paramount importance.\n\nIn light of these research gaps\, to explore valuable insights into the underlying role of tails in animal movement\, this dissertation constructs improved tail models to examine the superior maneuverability afforded by articulated tails over single rigid links and other inertial appendages. We introduce a specialized software framework for constructing musculoskeletal models of biological articulated appendages\, aiming for comprehensive musculoskeletal models of articulated tails. To tackle the difficulties faced in analyzing and controlling complex systems\, such as articulated tails\, this dissertation introduces a data-driven modeling and control framework for these systems. This method leverages Koopman operator theory to develop models that are both accurate and computationally efficient\, enabling their integration into closed-loop optimal control schemes.\n\nZoom passcode: 602352 UID:120473-21844800@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/120473 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Dissertation,Michigan Engineering,Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:Ford Robotics Building - 2300 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240405T195341 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240322T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240322T151500 SUMMARY:Presentation:Sky Tonight DESCRIPTION:A live presentation on what to find in the sky tonight and for the coming few weeks.

A key unsolved mathematical problem is the probabilistic linkage of a genealogy with the stochastic process that generates it. In this talk\, I introduce phylodynamics\, and show how any member of a broad class of stochastic processes generates a Markov process on the space of genealogies. I then present new results giving the exact likelihood of a given genealogy in terms of a filtering equation\, which can be integrated using Monte Carlo methods. These results unify and extend existing approaches and greatly broaden the scope of phylodynamic methods. The proofs rely on constructions that are both novel and more natural than the reverse-time constructions used in the more limited existing theories.\n\nContact: AIM Seminar Organizers UID:114769-21833584@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114769 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240324T180031 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240322T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240322T235959 SUMMARY:Other:ASSA Intercollegiate Nationals DESCRIPTION:Annual competition at Fort Wayne\, Indiana for 3P and Air Rifle from March 22-24 UID:119931-21843834@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/119931 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:The X Count CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240406T123212 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240322T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240322T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:EXCEL:Directors Chat DESCRIPTION:EXCEL shares information about navigating summer opportunities UID:120785-21845298@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/120785 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Earl V.

Critical phenomena in gravitational collapse to black holes were first observed by Matt Choptuik 30 years ago - a seminal discovery that launched an entire new field of research. While these phenomena are well understood in spherical symmetry\, critical collapse of gravitational waves has remained elusive. In this talk I will review the appearance of scaling laws and self-similarity close to the onset of black hole formation\, and will then present simulations of gravitational-wave collapse with three independent numerical codes. These results strongly suggest that the threshold solution for vacuum collapse is not universal\, and that our understanding of critical collapse in the absence of spherical symmetry will have to be broadened.

The problem was posed by Leo Moser in 1966\, and the best known lower bound of 2.2195... was proved by Gerver in 1994\, by constructing a sofa whose boundary consists of 18 special curves. While it is conjectured that Gerver's sofa attains the maximum area\, the best published upper bound of 2.37 was proved by Kallus and Romik in 2018 using computer assistance.\n\nImproving upon the computer-assisted approach of Kallus and Romik\, we improve the upper bound to 2.32. Moreover\, without any computer assistance\, we prove a conceptually new upper bound of 1 + \pi^2/8 = 2.2337... that is much closer to the lower bound of Gerver\, on a large subset of shapes which includes Gerver's sofa. We also discuss the possibility of making the upper bound of 2.2337... unconditional by building upon the approaches of the two results.

What can bodies tell us about ontologies that cannot be recuperated or resolved into Western ways of knowing? What can they tell us about the forms of collective world-building that exist outside of but in relation to the juridical structures of sovereignty that govern modern Western political and social life? And further\, what might sovereignty look like\, and feel like\, if we approached it not primarily in terms of its foundational violences (conquest\, imperialism\, settler colonialism\, capitalist extraction\, and so on) but in relation to the forms of self-determination and autonomy people have attempted to create in the realm of everyday life? This paper will explore these questions in order to in order to claim that we are heir not only to colonial logics\, but also to the means to refuse or retool them\, and that both of these inheritances are inscribed in and on the body. Thinking through and with the space of Kumina in Jamaica\, and particularly through a kumina festival I have co-organized for the past five years\, I reflect on the ways community-based spaces of care\, creativity\, and spirituality can open portals to thinking beyond linearity\, creating channels for accountability\, and investigating contemporary mobilizations of personhood and political life on post-but-still-colonial terrain. I argue that being attuned to the body’s inheritances can provide inroads into genealogies of sovereignty alternative to those that are tethered to the foundational frames of property\, accumulation\, and dispossession.\"\n\nDeborah A.

Despite much progress over the past 20 years\, monitoring the resulting ocean warming remains a challenging sampling problem. In this talk\, I will present a new method that complements existing point measurements by inferring basin-scale deep-ocean temperature change from the travel times of sound waves that are generated by repeating earthquakes. I will show results from the East Indian Ocean and the Northwest Pacific Ocean. The measurements capture deep-ocean temperature variations on time scales from a few days to a decade. The approximate vertical structure of these variations can be inferred using measurements at different frequencies. I will argue that the new method\, if extended globally\, offers useful new constraints on the deep-ocean uptake and transport of heat.

This is no accident. The Roman empire was an ‘empire of cities’. In the western Mediterranean\, where there were relatively few\, the Romans planted an enormous number of new ones. The East\, on the other hand\, was already densely populated with cities. Here the ancient settlements of the Levant flourished under Roman rule\, growing steadily in size and prosperity.\n\nThese cities gradually took on a new appearance too\, as they each acquired a selection of the grand appurtenances and amenities of a Roman metropolis or model city: aqueducts\, vaulted bath buildings\, stone theaters\, covered markets\, colonnaded streets\, monumental frontal temple buildings. In recent years these cities have attracted a fair amount of attention from archaeologists and historians\; but they generally remain outside our accepted narratives of the evolving urban cultures of the Roman world.\n\nThe Jerome Thomas Spencer Lecture series revisits these long-established centers of the Roman Near East\, and the various ancient peoples who inhabited them. The lectures will seek to trace\, through the archaeology and historical sources\, the transformation of these cities\, from the late first century BCE until Late Antiquity and even into the Early Islamic period\; and to describe the ways in which there emerged—here in the monumental spaces of these Levantine communities—a range of new and distinctive kinds of ‘urbanity’.\n\nUrban development in the Roman period prompted a welter of political\, social\, and religious changes — all of which resulted in a number of different ‘regimes of urban living’\, distinctive to the region. The lectures will take us through a series of extremely varied – but recognizable – urban landscapes: the Decapolis\, the Limestone Massif and the Tetrapolis\; the settlements along the Mediterranean coast\; and places deep inland such as Palmyra in the Syrian Desert and the Hauran. But by the end of the journey\, the lectures shall have situated these cities as physical manifestations of a local or regional experiment in ‘urban self-fashioning’ — as the peoples of the region\, collectively and individually\, availed themselves of the alluring opportunities of the Roman peace.\n\nRubina Raja is a Professor of Classical Archaeology and Art at Aarhus University\, Denmark\, and Centre director of the Danish National Research Foundation’s Centre of Excellence for Urban Network Evolutions at Aarhus University\, Denmark.\n\nProfessor Raja studied classical archaeology at Oxford (M.St. and D.Phil) after undergraduate studies at the University of Copenhagen and Università di Roma\, La Sapienza\, Italy\, and has worked during her studies at the Danish Ministry of Culture.

Her recent work focuses on intersectional experiences and retention of Deaf Faculty of Color\, working at postsecondary institutions. Her research topics are heavily shaped by critical race theory\, which she reframed \"White Oralism\" and\"Black Deaf Gain\". Her research interests also encompass in linguistic anthropological issues\, such as sign language contact\, demissionization\, and female masculinity signing styles.\n\nTitle:\nGender non-conforming signing styles of female-bodied signers: A sociolinguistic study\n\nAbstract:\nThis talk will demonstrate how the existence of diverse types of masculinity enables the plurality of gender identities\, whether intentionally or unintentionally adopted. The analysis will reveal that the theorization of gender (Butler 1993) is far from simplistic\, especially when its performance involves the intersection of bodily movements and signed languages.\n\nFrom the past research (Moges 2020)\, the masculine signing styles have been identified from 5 participants who are Deaf female-bodied masculine women\, located in Southern California. Those research findings contribute a critical insight about embodiment for studies of both sign language and gesture\, given how spatial information may involve gender ideologies such as dominance and intimidation. In ASL\, the stance tends to be performed as an over-assertion of one’s confidence\, which reflects hypermasculinity.\n\nThis talk will follow up with the gender markings of masculine signing styles by highlighting some selections from internet video data. The signing models in these videos are identified as “studs” which are cisgender butch lesbians\, heavily influenced from Black and hip-hop cultures. A video composition of 27 self-identified studs from different cities in the U.S offer us a glimpse of a rich variety of sociolinguistic and gendered data.

He masterfully weaves inspiration from other genres\, arts\, and life in general into compositions that are as poetic and graceful as they are bold and unflinching. Sullivan Fortner\, who has performed in Hill Auditorium as part of Joshua Redman’s MoodSwing Reunion tour (filling in for Brad Mehldau) and with Cécile McLorin Salvant\, has been stretching his deep-rooted talents as a pianist for the past decade.\n\nThe longtime collaborators are preparing a concert program unique to UMS that will overlap the sonic exploration of composers and textures related to both chamber music and creative improvisation. Their duet program will consist of songs and materials inspired by the collaboration between Louis Armstrong and Earl “Fatha” Hines.

In this exhibit\, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer\, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.\n\nDayrit’s artworks\, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps\, plot the extraction of natural resources\, land grabbing\, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time\, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.\n\nDayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural\, urban\, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.\n\nCian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography\, archaeology\, history\, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state\, museum\, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides\, military checkpoints\, walls\, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine. \n\nSouq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza\, sharing the stories of\, and images captured by\, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them\, Fouad Abu Khammash\, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.\n\n< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi\, Zainab Hakim\, Mariam Odeh\, and Vivian M.

Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work\, this display shows him in informal and familial environments\, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth\, humor\, tenderness\, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed\, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.\n\nCulled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center\, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s\, when Welles was a teenager\, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s\, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife\, Paola Mori. \n\nIt should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages\, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child\, Beatrice Welles\, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.\n\nThe exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

It is an important reminder of the connections that sustain us all\, in the free world and behind the walls.\n\nWe invite you to enjoy the work and\, if you like\, make a purchase.

Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow\, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated\, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit. \n\nMany of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change. \n\nHowever\, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture. \n\nAdditionally\, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal\, an interactive block activity\, and sample products made from captured CO2.

Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.\n\nSpecial thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians\, Margaret Noodin\, and Richard A.

State Street)\n\nIn this workshop\, we will explore various tools and technologies to craft extended reality (XR) artifacts that are representative of cyberfeminist themes. We will leverage a technique called constructive solid geometry to model our artifacts in TinkerCad\, which is a web-based computer-aided design tool. We will then explore the use of a game engine\, namely Unity\, to bring these models into a virtual environment. We will port this environment to AR and VR platforms and view our designs in XR. We will also explore the workflow for giving physical form to our designs through 3D printing. The XR artifacts designed in this workshop will be showcased in an exhibition as part of the XR/XF: Extended Realities/Extended Feminisms project in April 2024\, made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\n\nAnıl Çamcı is an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Michigan's Department of Performing Arts Technology.

Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality\, time\, and human interaction in relation to our environments\, our wars\, our relationships\, and our eccentricities. \n \nWorking in collaboration with University faculty\, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses\, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.\n \nAs classes begin in Fall of 2021\, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course\, dive into the works themselves\, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways. Who knows\, maybe you’ll learn something surprising along the way\, too.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick\, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and the Oakriver Foundation.\n  UID:86001-21795843@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/86001 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Faculty,Museum,Nature,Research,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240315T115953 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240323T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240323T120000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Fjällräven Community Cleanup DESCRIPTION:Join us for a trash clean up event at Fjällräven on 213 S Main St\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48104.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621241@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240405T192228 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240323T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240323T121500 SUMMARY:Presentation:Sea Monsters DESCRIPTION:Journey 80 million years back in time to an age when ferocious prehistoric creatures swarm\, hunt\, and fight for survival beneath the vast\, mysterious seas.\n\nStunning\, realistic imagery recreates the perilous underwater realm of two young\, dolphin-sized marine reptiles called Dolichorhynchops\, and their journey among the most awesome predators ever to prowl the oceans.

This year's theme will be based on the real-life Keelung Miaokou Night Market. During the event\, people are able to experience different aspects of Taiwanese culture through food\, games\, cultural booths\, and entertainment. The cultural booths will present an assortment of catered food available for attendees such as braised pork wide noodles\, fried braised tofu\, rice noodles\, beef noodle soup\, and shaved ice. In addition\, we will have Taiwanese cultured games like mahjong\, Chinese chess\, mahjong bingo\, and Taiwanese ring toss. For entertainment\, different organizations on campus will be performing at our event that includes Revolution (Chinese yo-yo)\, Michigan lion dance\, rXn\, DB3\, Seoul Juice\, and Female Gayo. Overall\, we hope to introduce everyone to Taiwanese culture and encourage them to try new things out of their comfort zone. The food\, games\, and entertainment will help present Taiwanese culture to our attendees in the best possible way. Our overall agenda for attendees is to allow them to walk from booth to booth that will either present a Taiwanese dish or game. Roughly around halfway through the event\, the entertainment portion will begin in Auditorium 1324 of East Hall. Afterward\, the attendees have the opportunity to visit any booths they have not been to yet during the event. We hope our attendees will learn something new about Taiwanese culture!

Tickets are free\, available at the door starting 30 minutes before show time.\n\n*Touch a Breath - The Body Tells* is a creative work that delves into the concept of portraying human vulnerabilities as strength\, aiming to counter the narrative that falsely argues that females as more susceptible and fragile. The body has been influenced by a lot of circumstances\; it is time to consider these difficult times as an opportunity for growth.\n\nDrawing on the research of a Vietnamese philosopher Thich Nhat Hahn\, the project seeks to bring participants into valuing the present moment\, fostering healing\, transformation\, and a hope for positivity amidst difficult times. *Touch a Breath - The Body Tells* has a lasting impact on the mental well-being of participants\, fostering a deeper understanding of self and spirituality through bodies in time and space.

In this exhibit\, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer\, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.\n\nDayrit’s artworks\, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps\, plot the extraction of natural resources\, land grabbing\, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time\, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.\n\nDayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural\, urban\, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.\n\nCian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography\, archaeology\, history\, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state\, museum\, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides\, military checkpoints\, walls\, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine. \n\nSouq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza\, sharing the stories of\, and images captured by\, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them\, Fouad Abu Khammash\, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.\n\n< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi\, Zainab Hakim\, Mariam Odeh\, and Vivian M.

Unlike previous U-M Library exhibits that focused on the artist at work\, this display shows him in informal and familial environments\, revealing a depth and complexity of character that are often overshadowed by his fame and professional achievements. The photographs and documents displayed showcase a variety of emotional tones — warmth\, humor\, tenderness\, and passion. Candid and relaxed more than posed\, they are similar to most people's pictures in old family albums.\n\nCulled from the Orson Welles-Beatrice Welles materials that are part of the Mavericks & Makers collection within the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center\, each photo or letter tells a story of a connection Welles held dearly. The materials included are from two periods: the late 1920s and early 1930s\, when Welles was a teenager\, and the mid-1950s to early 1960s\, during the early years of his marriage to his third wife\, Paola Mori. \n\nIt should be noted that Welles’s personal life was messy at best. Other collections housed at U-M that include personal materials related to Welles document his first and second marriages\, including the Welles-Feder Collection and the Wilson-Welles Collection. The items on display here were saved by his third and final child\, Beatrice Welles\, and reflect her childhood memories of her parents.\n\nThe exhibit is available during Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours (https://umlib.us/hatchergalleryexhibits).

Even if all emissions ceased tomorrow\, atmospheric CO2 levels are already dangerously high and the climate would keep warming before it eventually stabilizes. We have to reduce or “capture” legacy CO2 to avert disaster. As the International Panel on Climate Change stated\, the *only* way we can meet our climate goal is to use carbon capture in our climate change fighting tool kit. \n\nMany of the products that we use every day are made with carbon. Treating legacy CO2 as a resource with economic value rather than a pollutant allows us to generate revenue while also fighting climate change. \n\nHowever\, not all uses or types of captured CO2 are equal in terms of environmental or economic benefits. This exhibit includes a video game that helps explain the pros and cons associated with different methods and applications of carbon capture. \n\nAdditionally\, it also provides examples of two types of carbon removal\, an interactive block activity\, and sample products made from captured CO2.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21817763@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121548 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240324T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240324T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andrea Carlson Future Cache DESCRIPTION:In Andrea Carlson Future Cache\, a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors\, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15\, 1900. Written across the walls above and around the memorial\, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”  \n \nPresented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.\n\nSpecial thanks to the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians\, Margaret Noodin\, and Richard A. Wiles\, for their consultation on the State Historical Marker text\; to Margaret Noodin and Michael Zimmerman\, Jr. for translating the gallery texts into Anishinaabemowin\; to James Horton and Fritz Swanson for generously producing the letterpress broadsides\; to colleagues at the U-M Biological Station\, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology\, U-M Clements Library\, and U-M Clark Map Library.

DESCRIPTION:Care in Uncertain Times\n \nAs crises of public health\, economic instability\, authoritarian regimes\, racial injustice\, and climate change spread around the globe\, millions are experiencing distress\, conflict\, uncertainty\, and vulnerability. This troubling combination of experiences is nothing new for Cambodians. Between 1975-1979\, when the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia\, about a quarter of the country’s populations died of infectious diseases\, weapon wounds\, and malnutrition.\n \nThis exhibition brings together more than 80 works of art spanning a millennium to present how the visual culture of Cambodia and its diaspora has evolved in the face of cultural upheaval. Showcasing works from worldwide collections\, including those from some of the foremost members of the Cambodian contemporary art scene\, Angkor Complex allows viewers to encounter the still-fresh scars of a genocide and critically appreciate the strategies evolved to nurture resilience in trying times.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost\, U-M Office of the President\, National Endowment for the Arts\, Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund\, and U-M Ross School of Business.\n  UID:114750-21833459@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/114750 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Public Health,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Collected for each course are objects that address the nature of materiality\, time\, and human interaction in relation to our environments\, our wars\, our relationships\, and our eccentricities. \n \nWorking in collaboration with University faculty\, the works in this exhibition were selected for their capacity to provoke engagement with the guiding questions and themes of their specific courses\, while also offering students inspiration for research and art projects in their areas of study. The exhibition demonstrates some of the diverse and creative ways art plays a central role in learning across the disciplines. It also asks us to consider what we can learn from art objects across an infinite variety of specialties and subject matter.\n \nAs classes begin in Fall of 2021\, you’ll be able to use these pages to explore the collections designed for each course\, dive into the works themselves\, and hear from the professors and students about how they are engaging with art and objects in new ways.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621242@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240305T121542 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240324T110000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Water Polo vs UC Merced DESCRIPTION:Water Polo vs UC Merced UID:119580-21843035@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/119580 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics LOCATION:Donald B.

This production grew out of the students’ sadness that so many people in the free world will never get to know the extraordinary individuals who live inside the walls. This play vividly recounts stories that incarcerated PCAP participants wanted to share with audiences outside prisons.\n\n*\"With Love\, From Inside”* blurs the boundaries between incarcerated and free people\, exploring the shared joys and struggles that all of us face. The play furthers the continuum of PCAP’s weekly workshops for incarcerated theatre makers\, in which university volunteers carry stories and life experiences from the free world into prisons. In this production\, the performers do the reverse and bring the joys\, sorrows\, triumphs\, and struggles of incarcerated people to free world audiences. In doing so\, the performers widen the sphere of influence that incarcerated change makers have on the minds and hearts of others.\n\nThe performance is FREE and open to the public.\n*Free accessible shuttle service available the day of the performance from 10:30 AM-5:00 PM\, running every half-hour*\n*Loops to the performance from the Plymouth Rd. Park & Ride (3700 Plymouth Rd.\, right off of US-23)*\n\nIn conjunction with the *28th Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons* March 19-April 2\, 2024\n\n*The University of Michigan College of Literature\, Science and the Arts (LSA) greatly values inclusion and access for all.

Modernist Glass from the Polish Past DESCRIPTION:The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980.

The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes. \n\nThe collectors\, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco\, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets\, antique shops\, and websites\, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.\n\nOrganized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W.

Camera as Passport: The Ship of Photographers DESCRIPTION:Starting in 1933 when Hitler and the Nazis came to power\, a cadre of European Jews—German\, Polish\, Hungarian\, Austrian\, French—discovered that a camera could be their passport\, first out of Germany and then out of Europe. Some of these women and men had been planning one type of career—lawyer\, journalist\, painter\, musician—but then realized that they needed to find another way to earn a living. Taking photographs presented a sufficiently malleable opportunity that not only allowed them to leave Germany and then Europe but also to have a means to sustain themselves in foreign countries where they did not necessarily speak the language.\n \n They did\, however\, mobilize the visual language of photography. For a number of these figures\, forced migration became an asset during the golden age of photojournalism wherein their portable services were employed to supply picture stories on the move and around the world. Many of these Jews became influential photographers\, shaping how their contemporaries saw the world. Looking back on their work\, we can see how they have influenced our understanding of the modern world even as we can recognize their photographs as a significant component of modern Jewish visual culture.\n \n Of the dozens of photographers who fled Europe\, eight escaped on a single ship. The S. S. Winnipeg sailed from Marseille\, France on May 7\, 1941. Germany had already conquered both eastern and western Europe and was poised to invade the Soviet Union. The United States was not yet in the war. Among the 750 refugees aboard were photographers from Hungary\, Belgium\, France\, and Germany: Ilse Bing\, Josef Breitenbach\, Boris Lipnitsky\, Charles Leirens\, Yolla Niclas\, Fred Stein\, Monie Tannen\, and Ylla (Camilla Henriette Koffler). During lifeboat drills\, they discovered each other. Some of them narrowly escaped Vichy France under the auspices of the American journalist Varian Fry and the New York-based Emergency Rescue Committee that helped so many Jewish and anti-Fascist artists get out of Europe in the nick of time.\n \n This exhibit introduces the University of Michigan to this intrepid group as exemplary case studies of the wide range of European photographers who used their cameras as passports to other worlds. It focuses first on their European experiences pre-emigration before turning to their escape from Europe on the S. S. Winnipeg (with three of them taking photos on board the ship). The exhibit concludes with examples of some of their initial photographic reactions to the new world\, seeing it through European eyes.\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.

In this exhibit\, internationally renowned Filipino artist Cian Dayrit acts as a counter-cartographer\, reclaiming mapmaking as an emancipatory activity.\n\nDayrit’s artworks\, embroidered on textiles or painted over collages of colonial-era maps\, plot the extraction of natural resources\, land grabbing\, and dispossession and displacement in his native Philippines. At the same time\, their resistant lines summon new imaginaries out of the overlaps between places and memories.\n\nDayrit’s practice is critically and practically informed by the narratives of Filipino communities. Items exhibited alongside his artwork are the result of map-drawing workshops the artist has convened with rural\, urban\, and indigenous communities across the Philippines. Propositions to Progress invites you to engage in the collaborative endeavor to activate alternative territories from the ground up.\n\nCian Dayrit is an interdisciplinary artist exploring colonialism and ethnography\, archaeology\, history\, and mythology. Dayrit subverts the language of the state\, museum\, and military to visualize the contradictions on which these institutions are built. He studied at the University of the Philippines.

Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides\, military checkpoints\, walls\, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine. \n\nSouq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza\, sharing the stories of\, and images captured by\, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them\, Fouad Abu Khammash\, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.\n\n< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi\, Zainab Hakim\, Mariam Odeh\, and Vivian M. Nguyen. It’s offered in conjunction with this year’s Palestine Awareness Week\, an annual series of educational events related to Palestinian history\, culture\, and politics. Presented in association with Insaniyyat: Society of Palestinian Anthropologists.

Both Malallah and Karim were significantly influenced by their mentors during and after their training in Iraq\, and continue to share their work and ideas with a new generation today.\n\nIn the United States\, Iraq is typically spoken about in a passive position: colonized\, under despotic rule\, occupied. Post-occupied. Through connections between mentors and students\, and students who became mentors to new students\, Iraqi artists have been a force for anti-colonialism\, claiming their heritage and its future for themselves.\n\nView the exhibit Monday-Friday in the Fine Arts Library\, Tappan Hall\, 855 S.

It considers the process of germination as a site for the cross-pollination of ideas from diverse disciplines around the future of the built environment. \n\nAbout the artist:\nSusan Goethel Campbell creates multi-disciplinary work that considers the contemporary landscape to be an emergent system where nature\, culture\, and the engineered environment are indistinguishable from one another. Central to her practice is the collection\, documentation\, and observation of seasonal change and ephemera in both natural and artificial environments. Her work is realized in several formats\, including installation\, video\, prints\, and drawings\, as well as projects that engage communities to look at local and global environments.\n\nCampbell earned an MFA in printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Belgium\, Germany\, Switzerland\, and Slovenia and nationally throughout the US\, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, Queens Art Museum\, Crystal Bridges Museum\, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit\, Grand Rapids Art Museum\, the Detroit Institute of Arts\, The Drawing Center\, and The International Print Center New York. In 2009 she was one of 18 artists selected for the inaugural Kresge Artist Fellowship.\n\nCampbell has been awarded residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts\, the Flemish Center for Graphic Arts\, the Jentel Foundation\, Beisinghoff Print Residency\, and the Print Research Institute of North Texas. She taught studio art for 15 years at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and has been a visiting artist in numerous institutions in the United States and abroad. Her work is in the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts\, New York Public Library\, Detroit Institute of Arts\, Toledo Museum of Art\, and the University of Michigan Special Collections Library.\n\nThis project is made possible by a grant from the Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities' multi-year High Stakes Art initiative.
