In 2014\, using macro photography to explore his backyard garden\, he unknowingly began walking a naturalist’s path and documenting native pollinators and invertebrates. His large format prints of local invertebrates are currently on exhibit outside of the Belle Isle Nature Center\, with other works on exhibit inside the Center. With them\, he seeks to inspire viewers to take a closer look at the tiny world around us.\n\n \n\nArtist Statement\n\nTo me\, the little things matter.\n\nThrough my work as a photographer\, I share the unseen and overlooked world of nature that surrounds us. My focus is exploring the world of invertebrates and showcasing these creatures in their natural habitat.\n\nMy creative process has evolved into a moving mediation\, as I Slow down to observe\, document and connect with my subjects as we interact in the environment. Ultimately\, I seek to capture the unique beauty of creatures not usually perceived as beautiful and aim to create images that evoke emotion and curiosity. In so doing I strive to raise awareness of the importance of these creatures in our world and dispel any fears the viewer may have.\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josephferraro/\n\nWeb: https://www.joseph-ferraro.com UID:141375-21888720@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141375 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Free,garden,matthaei,matthaei botanical gardens,Sustainability,Visual Arts LOCATION:Matthaei Botanical Gardens CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251030T110308 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251116T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251116T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Scientist Spotlight DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, November 16\, 2025\n11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.\n\nOnly for the curious!

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

Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members.

The next-generation instrument on the South Pole Telescope\, SPT-3G\, has enabled the production of the deepest\, mm-wave detected galaxy cluster sample to date over the 100 deg² SPT-Deep survey. With 442 optically confirmed clusters at a median redshift of 0.74 and a median mass of 1.7 x 10¹⁴ M⊙\, this cluster sample provides the first look into a new regime of cluster populations accessible for cluster cosmology. One key astrophysical contaminant for mm-wave cluster cosmology is emission from star-forming galaxies as it is spatially correlated with the negative thermal Sunyaev–Zel’dovich signal used to detect galaxy clusters\; this can alter the cluster selection function—particularly for low-mass\, high-redshift systems—and potentially bias recovered cosmological parameters. For the first time\, the magnitude of this contamination at high-redshift has been quantified with combined data from SPT and Herschel SPIRE\, and we find that the tSZ signal is mitigated by dust at high-redshift (z > 1) by 4% at 95GHz\, and 18% at 150GHz. However\, we find that SPT’s 220GHz band provides sufficient leverage on dust emission to prevent this contamination from significantly impacting the cluster selection function over the mass and redshift range probed in this work. This marks an important step for validating the cluster selection function for the full forthcoming SPT-3G 1500d cluster sample that will be used for the next-generation of cluster cosmology measurements.

Based on such characterizations\, one might assume that testosterone only matters for men\, and that\, at least for men\, the more testosterone the better. In actuality\, however\, the story is more complicated: First\, testosterone is important for both men and women. Second\, although there are certainly many benefits of high(er) testosterone\, including for attracting and securing sexual partners\, lower testosterone may in fact be more beneficial for maintaining close relationships—including with romantic partners and children. In this talk\, Robin Edelstein will present work from her lab on testosterone and relationship processes in romantic and parent-child relationships. Taken together\, this work demonstrates that (a) in both men and women\, testosterone declines as a function of partnering and parenting\, (b) lower testosterone facilitates ongoing nurturant relationship processes\, and (c) testosterone matters not only for one’s own relationship outcomes but also those of one’s partner.\n\nDr. Robin Edelstein is a social/personality psychologist with expertise in close relationships\, parent-infant and adult romantic attachment\, and social neuroendocrinology. Her work is motivated by a desire to understand how important emotional and interpersonal processes\, which are typically assumed to apply to all people\, may instead differ across people in meaningful ways. Dr. Edelstein is particularly interested in understanding how close relationship experiences (e.g.\, interactions with romantic partners\, major relationship transitions) get “under the skin” to influence people’s physiology\, as well as how people’s physiology can influence their relationship outcomes. She also studies individual differences in people’s approaches to and experiences in close relationships\; how these differences develop and change over time and across the lifespan\; and the implications of these differences for interpersonal and physiological outcomes. Dr. Edelstein received her Ph.D. in Social/Personality Psychology from the University of California\, Davis. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California\, Irvine\, she joined the faculty at the University of Michigan\, where she is currently a Professor of Psychology in the Personality and Social Contexts area.\n\nAbout the series:\n\nHumans are social animals and from the earliest days of life\, are dependent on the quality of social relationships with significant others: family\, kin\, friends\, and a growing social network of online acquaintances. But\, how do we conduct research and come to understand the social processes transpiring in these significant social connections with others? What are the consequences for individual development and mental health outcomes of having close intimate relationships in one’s life? There is also a darker side to some relationships in the form of violence\, aggression\, and conflict. How do we study these processes? Social media and artificial intelligence have opened up new ways of thinking about “what is a social relationship?” and how many of these “friends” can one truly have.\n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on different types of social relationships\, spanning family and parent-child relationships\, friendships\, peer networks\, romantic relationships\, attachment relationships\, and the use of online media to maintain social connections. Although several speakers are senior scholars with extensive research backgrounds in the field\, many are junior scholars who are traversing new paths into the science of social relationships. Please join us Mondays to learn more about the exciting field of social relationships!\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Brenda Volling and Richard Gonzalez.\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.

In this setting\, we observe a connection between entropic propagation of chaos (proved by Jabin and Wang\, 2018) and exponential concentration bounds for the empirical measure of the system. In particular\, we will show how to establish a variational upper bound for the probability of a certain rare event\, and then use this upper bound to show that ''controlled\" entropic propagation of chaos implies an exponential concentration bound for the empirical measure.

Conditional on an effective version of Serre's uniformity conjecture due to Zywina\, we give such a classification. Using our parameterization we try to answer the following question inspired by Ogg: to what extent do rational points on modular curves come from geometry? This is joint work with Maarten Derickx\, Sachi Hashimoto\, and Filip Najman.

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

Written as a police procedural\, it is also a medieval iteration of the timeless tale of a migrant woman from the countryside who struggled to survive in the big city\, in this case Dijon towards the end of the Middle Ages. At that particular time\, in the second half of the fifteenth century\, in the midst of warfare\, endemic disease\, and political upheaval\, Dijon's municipal authorities investigated all manner of crime and other wrongdoing. Women appeared in these investigations most often as victims or as witnesses\, but also as accused of theft\, violence\, sex crimes\, insults\, and sorcery. Sara's presentation offers an investigation of another kind\, one that asks what we can learn from these legal documents about this one woman’s life\, but also about the interworkings of gender\, religion\, and justice in late medieval society.

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

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

Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

In 2014\, using macro photography to explore his backyard garden\, he unknowingly began walking a naturalist’s path and documenting native pollinators and invertebrates. His large format prints of local invertebrates are currently on exhibit outside of the Belle Isle Nature Center\, with other works on exhibit inside the Center. With them\, he seeks to inspire viewers to take a closer look at the tiny world around us.\n\n \n\nArtist Statement\n\nTo me\, the little things matter.\n\nThrough my work as a photographer\, I share the unseen and overlooked world of nature that surrounds us. My focus is exploring the world of invertebrates and showcasing these creatures in their natural habitat.\n\nMy creative process has evolved into a moving mediation\, as I Slow down to observe\, document and connect with my subjects as we interact in the environment. Ultimately\, I seek to capture the unique beauty of creatures not usually perceived as beautiful and aim to create images that evoke emotion and curiosity. In so doing I strive to raise awareness of the importance of these creatures in our world and dispel any fears the viewer may have.\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josephferraro/\n\nWeb: https://www.joseph-ferraro.com UID:141375-21888725@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141375 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Free,garden,matthaei,matthaei botanical gardens,Sustainability,Visual Arts LOCATION:Matthaei Botanical Gardens CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251031T125233 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251118T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251118T113000 SUMMARY:Other:Planet Blue Forum: Climate Justice and Careers DESCRIPTION:Join the Planet Blue Forum: Climate Justice and Careers\, an interactive networking event designed for students to explore career pathways at the intersection of climate justice\, education\, law\, and public policy.

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

We rely on a unique and very rich multi-country micro dataset of quantitative inflation expectations from the European Commission’s monthly business and consumer survey that allows us to construct pseudo individuals based on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. To capture nonlinearities in group-level dynamics\, we explicitly model the responses of our pseudo individuals as nonlinear functions of area-wide macroeconomic aggregates using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART). We find pronounced asymmetries in the response of aggregate inflation expectations to large oil supply shocks and a considerable degree of heterogeneity across countries\, gender\, income\, and age groups. We explore several economic mechanisms to explain cross-country and group-level differences in the adjustment of inflation expectations to oil supply shocks of different magnitude and sign.

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

However\, many features that constitute these traits are complex\, multidimensional and challenging to quantify. In this presentation\, I investigate how representations of the same biological trait can influence downstream assessments of evolutionary outcomes. I use snake diets as a case study\, with diet acting as a case example of an ecological trait that can be represented under different biological criteria. I will apply a similar approach to a color pattern dataset of Australian lizards (Ctenotus) in the remainder of my dissertation and will use multiple scoring and modeling approaches to test how color pattern has evolved within in this genus. Finally\, I will leverage phylogenomic and microhabitat data to explore the distribution of color patterns in populations undergoing different stages of speciation and apply this knowledge to improve understanding of species boundaries between Ctenotus. In doing so\, I will provide a more holistic view of how organisms and their traits evolve over time.

Under pressure from international norms and donors (especially from the U.S. and U.K.)\, Chinese officials selectively absorbed Western epidemiology and liberal practices such as community participation\, human rights discourse\, and NGO engagement to enhance China’s global standing. Rather than promoting political liberalization\, these engagements enabled the state to build a professionalized yet stratified disease surveillance system that laid the groundwork for its COVID-19 responses. This hybrid system empowered certain groups such as urban gay men to gain state recognition and resources\, while making other marginalized populations invisible. This talk corrects a core misconception—that liberal diffusion and authoritarian expansion are opposite—by revealing their mutual constitution in biomedical politics. \n\n Yan Long is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of California\, Berkeley. She is a political and organizational sociologist whose research explores the interplay between globalization and authoritarian politics\, with a focus on public health\, civic action\, and urban development. Her work has been published in leading journals such as the American Journal of Sociology\, Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory\, and Social Science & Medicine\, earning her over ten national awards. She is currently investigating how digital technology shapes urban governance during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

This paper takes up this question for interwar Britain\, where the Great Depression coincided with significant structural shifts resulting from World War I and the return to the gold standard. The extent to which workers reallocated across industries in response to these allocative shocks is examined using historical data on relative changes in employment and unemployment by industry. Impediments to worker reallocation are found to have played a substantial role in the interwar unemployment crisis\, but labor market fluidity varied considerably across sectors\, regions\, and gender. The Great Depression intensified these patterns\, but leaving the gold standard was associated with only a modest improvement in fluidity. Differences in worker reallocation across demographic\, industrial\, and regional groups shape our understanding of the causes of interwar unemployment and may have implications for modern policymaking regarding labor reallocation and recessions.

We first briefly introduce the theory of e-values and e-processes\, and then briefly discuss their applications in four areas: a) Combining dependent p-values\; b) Selective inference procedures\; c) Backtesting risk measures\; d) Online large language models (LLM) watermark detection. \n\n*Lecture 2\, November 19\, 4 pm East Hall 1360: Risk aversion\, insurance propensity\, and choice under dependence*\nWe provide a foundation of risk aversion by showing that this attitude is fully captured by the propensity to seize insurance opportunities. Our foundation well accords with the commonly held prudential interpretation of risk aversion that dates back to the seminal works of Arrow (1963) and Pratt (1964). These analyses are special cases of results in the general framework of choice under dependence.\n\n*Lecture 3\, November 20\, 4 pm East Hall 4448: Bridging pure risk and ambiguity in risk measures and optimization*\nWe discuss optimization and modeling of ambiguity in risk management and decision making. We first discuss two different approaches in optimization under uncertainty\, the worst-case risk approach and the model aggregation approach. Then we present a mathematical framework using a sigma-algebra to distinguish between pure risks and ambiguity.\n\nDr. Ruodu Wang is Tier-1 Canada Research Chair in Quantitative Risk Management and Professor of Actuarial Science and Quantitative Finance at the University of Waterloo.

Different operads encode different properties that n-ary operations might possess: for instance\, the “commutative operad” Comm encodes what it means for an n-ary operation to be (“on the nose”) commutative\, while the associative operad Assoc encodes (“on the nose”) associativity. Motivated by the homotopy-associative property of loop concatenation in loop spaces\, we’ll introduce A_infinity operads and algebras over them. We’ll finish the talk with the little n-cubes operad and algebras over them (E_n / E_infinity spaces)\, which possess a “higher homotopy” analogue of commutativity.

A new type of clock based on the internal transitions of atomic nuclei\, dubbed nuclear clocks\, was proposed by Peik and Tamm in 2003. Among nuclei\, the thorium-229 nucleus is unique in having a transition at low enough energy to be accessible with present-day laser technology\, and laser spectroscopy of the 148 nm thorium-229 nuclear isomer transition was first demonstrated by three groups nearly simultaneously in 2024. Due to the higher energy scales and additional fundamental interactions present in the nucleus\, nuclear transitions are much more sensitive to small deviations from the predictions of the Standard Model than atomic transitions. Thus\, thorium nuclear clocks may offer insights about unification theories\, the nature of dark matter\, or other physics beyond the Standard Model.\n\nI will begin this talk with a brief overview of the thorium-229 nuclear isomer transition and the two experimental approaches currently being pursued to build thorium nuclear clocks: one based on thorium doped into solid-state hosts and the other based on trapped and laser-cooled thorium ions. Next\, I will present the design and current status of a trapped-ion thorium clock experiment under construction in my lab at UCLA. Finally\, I will conclude with a discussion of the fundamental physics reach of this and other thorium nuclear clocks.\n\nBio: David Leibrandt is a Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at UCLA. Prior to moving to UCLA in 2022\, he led the trapped-ion optical atomic clock and precision measurement experiments within the Ion Storage Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder\, CO. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2009 and his B.S.E. in Engineering Physics from the University of Michigan in 2004. David is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a recipient of the EFTF Young Scientist Award and the Department of Commerce Gold Medal Award for the development of optical atomic clocks based on quantum-logic spectroscopy of aluminum ions with record fractional inaccuracy below 1e-18.

Research demonstrates that VR environments provide unique affordances for developing intercultural competence by situating learners in authentic\, interactive contexts where they can negotiate meaning and engage with diverse perspectives. At the same time\, AR has been shown to enhance reading comprehension and engagement by embedding textual and cultural content into interactive\, real-world environments. These emerging tools are reshaping how learners experience language and culture\, moving beyond traditional classroom boundaries to create embodied\, situated forms of learning.\n \n This talk will first review current trends in VR and AR research in applied linguistics and Korean language education\, highlighting empirical findings. Dr. Song will then discuss classroom applications\, including both opportunities and challenges for implementation. Finally\, she will share her own research findings\, which investigate the role of VR in fostering intercultural competence and the effects of AR-based interactive Korean reading activities on comprehension and engagement. By synthesizing these strands of research\, the presentation will consider how immersive technologies can inform the future of Korean language learning and teaching.\n \n Jayoung Song is Assistant Professor of Korean and Applied Linguistics in the Department of Asian Studies at Pennsylvania State University\, USA. Her research focuses on second language acquisition\, technology-enhanced language learning\, and intercultural competence. She has led funded projects on augmented reality–based reading\, immersive learning through virtual reality\, and the development of intercultural competence\, supported by the Academy of Korean Studies and the U.S. Department of Education. Her work has been published in journals such as Language Learning & Technology\, Education and Information Technologies\, ReCALL\, and Applied Linguistics Review. Her current work brings together empirical research and classroom practice to explore how AR and VR can transform the future of Korean language education.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at ncks.info@umich.edu.

Despite its success\, two challenges remain fundamental: feedback is costly and heterogeneous across annotators\, and the resulting reward models often lack principled measures of uncertainty. This talk presents recent advances that address these challenges by integrating tools from optimal design and statistical inference into the RLHF framework. First\, I introduce a dual active learning approach\, inspired by optimal design\, that adaptively selects both conversations and annotators to maximize information gain\, improving the efficiency of limited feedback budgets. Second\, I present a framework for uncertainty quantification in reward learning\, enabling valid statistical comparisons across LLM models and more reliable best-of-n alignment policies. Together\, these results illustrate how statistics can help trustworthy and data-efficient LLM alignment.

It is necessary to motivate political action oriented to the future\, and it is dangerous because the pursuit of progress has often given rise to episodes of paternalism\, colonial domination and narratives of civilisational superiority. In this lecture\, I try to defend a more critical account of progress. I start by distinguishing between moral and political progress\, then explore the relation between political progress and justice. I suggest that we make political progress not when we approximate an ideal of justice that is always known to us\, but when the political institutions we construct reflect what we learn from the trials and failures of the past. To outline how such learning processes might take place\, I defend the idea that the basic function of justice is to regulate the coercive use of power. I further explain how we should understand progress in the norms of justice as the result of cumulative processes of evolution of different views of how power ought to be exercised. \n\nSymposium Panel:\nElizabeth Anderson\, University of Michigan\nPhilip Kitcher\, Columbia University\nDaniel Wodak\, University of Pennsylvania\n\n_________________________________________\nAbout the Tanner Lectures on Human Values\nMichigan is one of nine institutions worldwide that hosts an annual Tanner Lecture on Human Values. Tanner Lectures are funded through the generosity of the late Professor of Philosophy\, industrialist\, and philanthropist\, Obert Clark Tanner\, and his wife\, Grace Tanner. Professor Tanner wrote:I hope these lectures will contribute to the intellectual and moral life of mankind. I see them simply as a search for a better understanding of human behavior and human values. This understanding may be pursued for its own intrinsic worth\, but it may also eventually have practical consequences for the quality of personal and social life.Although the Tanners established the supporting endowment in 1978\, Joel Feinberg's April 1977 lecture at Michigan inaugurated the international series of Tanner Lectures.Each year\, Michigan has a Tanner Lecture combined with an interdisciplinary symposium to which we invite distinguished scholars from around the world. These events are free and open to the public.

Far from resisting pluralism\, Ottoman-era Islamic legal practice facilitated the incorporation of other legal traditions\, including the adjudication of Jewish communities’ affairs\, making them integral to the functioning of the legal order.

He focuses on issues concerning the interaction between religion and law\, and the role of religion in contemporary legal and socio-political systems within a global comparative perspective.

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

Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

In 2014\, using macro photography to explore his backyard garden\, he unknowingly began walking a naturalist’s path and documenting native pollinators and invertebrates. His large format prints of local invertebrates are currently on exhibit outside of the Belle Isle Nature Center\, with other works on exhibit inside the Center. With them\, he seeks to inspire viewers to take a closer look at the tiny world around us.\n\n \n\nArtist Statement\n\nTo me\, the little things matter.\n\nThrough my work as a photographer\, I share the unseen and overlooked world of nature that surrounds us. My focus is exploring the world of invertebrates and showcasing these creatures in their natural habitat.\n\nMy creative process has evolved into a moving mediation\, as I Slow down to observe\, document and connect with my subjects as we interact in the environment. Ultimately\, I seek to capture the unique beauty of creatures not usually perceived as beautiful and aim to create images that evoke emotion and curiosity. In so doing I strive to raise awareness of the importance of these creatures in our world and dispel any fears the viewer may have.\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josephferraro/\n\nWeb: https://www.joseph-ferraro.com UID:141375-21888728@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141375 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Free,garden,matthaei,matthaei botanical gardens,Sustainability,Visual Arts LOCATION:Matthaei Botanical Gardens CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251024T100534 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251119T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251119T130000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:The 2025-2026 Symposium on the Tanner Lecture on Human Values DESCRIPTION:Tanner Lectures are accompanied by an interdisciplinary symposium involving three invited speakers who will comment on and/or address the same topic as the Lecture (Lea Ypi: \"What is Political Progress\").

Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they've curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA '23) and Erin McKenna (MFA '20)Phase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA '20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA '20)Phase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA '20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA '21)\nPhase 1 Curatorial Statement\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Amelia Burns (entry pillar)Curated by CYNK Studios: Erin McKenna (courtyard pillar)\nArtists Amelia Burns and Erin McKenna reimagine the Division Street pillars through digital collages rooted in memory\, landscape and shared environments. Burns arranges fragments of her own photographs into airy compositions where these pictorial remnants become enshrined by the artist’s vision of the sacred. McKenna draws from the language of quilting\, organizing her photos of mushrooms\, moss and lichen into vibrant geometric patterns which echo Ohio textile traditions. Both artists\, Midwestern women attentive to the nuances of place\, weave personal imagery into collective meaning. Together\, their works create spaces of reverence and connection.\nAmelia Burns: GODSPROMISESRISINGHIGHGODSPROMISESRISINGHIGH contains fragments of photographs I have made over years in various locations in the United States. Each fragment holds personal meaning for me. The exalted pieces of environments float together and create a visual smorgasbord of symbols\, denoting a capitalist world\, filled with tender moments and connections\, where all objects are made holy.\nErin McKenna: Mushroom TrailMushroom Trail reimagines the Ohio Star quilt block through a collage of photographs of mushrooms\, lichen\, and moss gathered during walks in my Appalachian forest home. I created small blocks of repeating patterns to build texture and color. Inspired by the Barn Quilt Trail\, the work honors Ohio’s yard art traditions. Like other local expressions\, from chainsaw-carved bears to the front porch goose\, it fosters a shared sense of pride of place\, and community.\nArtist Statements/Bios\nAmelia BurnsThrough my travels across nearly every U.S. state\, I document not only the natural world but also its entanglement with human influence. My work speaks to the loneliness\, humor\, beauty\, pain\, and joy that coexist within these spaces. The landscapes I create—whether photographic or collage-based—are imbued with a visceral connection to the physical environments I’ve passed through. They are a reprocessing of the cultural detritus that surrounds me\, transforming fragments into vignettes that explore both the darkness and resilience of humanity.\nAt its core\, my work explores the underworld of human experience\, grappling with the visceral tension between authenticity and artifice in contemporary Americana. It reflects the disgusting horror of capitalism\, the mysticism of my Irish Catholic upbringing\, and the profound solitude that fuels my process. The resulting images are landscapes of seeking\, filled with the pain\, glory\, and quiet resistance of life.\nAmelia Burns is a photographer\, collage artist\, curator and educator exploring the cultural and physical landscapes of the U.S.\, capturing the nuances of shared environments. She earned her BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in 2005 and later completed her MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2023. Website / Instagram\nErin McKenna Erin McKenna is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in sculpture. Her practice embraces humor\, playful misuse\, and celebration as strategies to dismantle stereotypes and complicate binaries of construction and embellishment. With a feminist lens\, she explores the space where necessity meets excess\, highlighting the subversive potential of both. Her sculptures often pair gritty building materials with tactile fabrics\, generating tension between utility and ornament. Growing up in a perpetually unfinished home—a place of sawdust\, chop saws\, and improvisation—instilled in her a respect for visible labor\, inventive problem-solving\, and imperfection. Her process follows personal rules:\nno hierarchy of materialssubvert expected usecomplicate binaries\, stereotypes and associationsmisuse\, misapplyallow for variable arrangementsrepeat\, reiterate\, reuseconsider the subversive possibilities of the excessive\, fantastic\, and necessaryalways let the labor be visible\nMcKenna earned her BFA from Columbus College of Art &\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &\; Design at the University of Michigan. She recently moved back to the forest she calls home in Southeastern Ohio\, where she serves as Exhibitions Director at The Dairy Barn Arts Center\, hunts for mushrooms with her toddler\, and makes quilts.
