SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Brothers and Uncles\, Kings and Typecutters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the evolution of the printed page through the prism of one remarkable family of scholar-printers. \n\nPrinting changed the speed and scale at which information circulated. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cathy Barry Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Cathy Barry has a profound connection to the natural world\, which has shaped her artistic journey. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 1): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:Phase 1 Opening Reception: September 18\, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they've curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\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 &amp\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &amp\; 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag Seminar |  Log soft graviton theorem from BMS superrotation symmetry
DESCRIPTION:In four spacetime dimensions\, the soft graviton theorem exhibits a term that arises exclusively from one-loop diagrams and is logarithmic in the soft graviton energy. In this talk\, we demonstrate that this term\, known as the log soft graviton theorem\, can be derived as the Ward identity of BMS superrotation symmetry\, once long-range interactions are properly taken into account. We carry out a systematic analysis to all orders in the coupling and confirm that the log soft theorem is indeed one-loop exact.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Meritocracy Across Countries
DESCRIPTION:We study the micro sources and macro consequences of worker–job matching across coun- tries with large income differences. Using internationally comparable data on over 120\,000 in- dividuals in 30 countries\, we document that workers’ skills align more closely with their jobs’ skill requirements in higher-income countries\, indicative of more meritocratic labor market matching. We interpret this fact through an equilibrium matching model with cross-country differences in three fundamentals: (i) endowments of worker skills and job requirements de- termining match feasibility\; (ii) technology determining the returns to matching\; and (iii) id- iosyncratic frictions capturing how nonproductive traits affect matching. A development- accounting exercise based on the model\, estimated separately for each country\, shows that variation in matching frictions explains only a small share of cross-country output gaps. How- ever\, improved worker–job matching substantially amplifies the gains from adopting frontier endowments and technology.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Markov Perfect Equilibria in discrete finite-player and mean-field games
DESCRIPTION:Markov Perfect Equilibria in discrete finite-player and mean-field games\n\nWe study dynamic finite-player and mean-field stochastic games within the framework of Markov perfect equilibria (MPE). Through the Kuramoto mean-field game\, we investigate the emergence of multiple self-organizing equilibria with complex time-dependent dynamics. This is in contrast to continuous-time finite-player games\, which admit unique MPE in the absence of monotonicity conditions. While discrete-time problems generally do not admit unique MPE\, we show that uniqueness is remarkably recovered when the time steps are small. This result\, established without relying on any monotonicity conditions\, underscores the importance of inertia in dynamic games. Finally\, we discuss different learning algorithms and prove their convergence to the unique MPE. This is joint work with Mathieu Laurière\, Mete Soner\, Qinxin Yan\, and Atilla Yilmaz.

DESCRIPTION:Gerald Ford became president at an unprecedented time of intensifying media scrutiny and growing public cynicism. To build back public trust in the presidency\, he reluctantly turned to entertainment television\, like the new late-night show\, Saturday Night Live.  His embrace of humor ultimately elevated expectations for presidents to entertain audiences and inadvertently changed what it meant to be “presidential” in the United States.\nJoin us for a discussion with professor and author\, Dr. Kathryn Cramer Brownell.  \n\nFollowing the event there will be a dessert reception.\nFREE to the public.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Brothers and Uncles\, Kings and Typecutters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the evolution of the printed page through the prism of one remarkable family of scholar-printers. \n\nPrinting changed the speed and scale at which information circulated. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cathy Barry Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Cathy Barry has a profound connection to the natural world\, which has shaped her artistic journey. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Statistical Modeling for Structured Network and Functional Data
DESCRIPTION:The rapid growth of complex modern datasets involves structured dependencies. These structures introduce new challenges for statistical learning and require statistical frameworks which can capture higher-order interactions\, relational patterns\, and temporal dynamics.  Motivated by these challenges\, this dissertation consists of three parts for modeling structured network and functional data. \n\nThe first chapter focuses on modeling higher-order interactions in complex networks. Most statistical models for networks focus on pairwise interactions between nodes. However\, many real-world networks involve higher-order interactions among multiple nodes\, such as co-authors collaborating on a paper. Hypergraphs provide a natural representation for these networks\, with each hyperedge representing a set of nodes. The majority of existing hypergraph models assume uniform hyperedges (i.e.\, edges of the same size) or rely on diversity among nodes. In this work\, we propose a new hypergraph model based on non-symmetric determinantal point processes. The proposed model naturally accommodates non-uniform hyperedges\, has tractable probability mass functions\, and accounts for both node similarity and diversity in hyperedges. For model estimation\, we maximize the likelihood function under constraints using a computationally efficient projected adaptive gradient descent algorithm. We establish the consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimator.\n\nThe second chapter presents a probabilistic model for community detection in signed networks. Community detection\, discovering the underlying communities within a network from observed connections\, is a fundamental problem in network analysis\, yet it remains underexplored for signed networks. In signed networks\, both edge connection patterns and edge signs are informative\, and structural balance theory (e.g.\, triangles aligned with ``the enemy of my enemy is my friend'' and ``the friend of my friend is my friend'' are more prevalent) provides a global higher-order principle that guides community formation.  We propose a Balanced Stochastic Block Model (BSBM)\, which incorporates balance theory into the network generating process such that balanced triangles are more likely to occur. We develop a fast profile pseudo-likelihood estimation algorithm with provable convergence and establish that our estimator achieves strong consistency under weaker signal conditions than methods for the binary SBM that rely solely on edge connectivity. \n\nThe third chapter develops a generative modeling framework for functional data\, where each sample is observed over a continuum of time or space. Classical functional data analysis mainly relies on low-rank representations such as functional principal component analysis (FPCA) or spline bases\, and focuses on developing discriminative models such as regression and classification. They do not characterize the probability distribution of functional observations. To directly learn the distribution of functional data\, we propose a generative model defined on a separable Hilbert space. The generator is formulated as a latent neural ordinary differential equation (ODE) which captures temporal dynamics for functional data\,  combined with a decoder incorporating Fourier features and learned time embeddings for flexible function representation.  The target distribution is estimated via a generalized energy-score loss\, which is well-defined for arbitrary measures on separable Hilbert spaces without requiring the existence of Radon–Nikodym derivatives. Furthermore\, we establish the error bounds comparing the learned and true functional distributions.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 1): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:Phase 1 Opening Reception: September 18\, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they've curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\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 &amp\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &amp\; 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.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:The Reactor Around the Corner: Understanding Advanced Nuclear Energy Futures
DESCRIPTION:Governments\, industries\, and publics have shown increasing interest in advanced nuclear energy technologies as central to solving the world’s energy and climate crisis. However\, the potential expansion of the global nuclear industry introduces—and in some cases reinforces—problems that technological solutions alone will not be able to fix. Our new research shows that the widespread adoption of advanced nuclear reactors is likely to entrench global disparities\, privilege markets over the public good\, overlook local and Indigenous knowledge\, intensify environmental injustices\, and abandon promises of local development and empowerment. Building on these insights\, we provide policy guidance to maximize the potential benefits and minimize the likely harms of adopting these new nuclear energy technologies.\n\nJoin us for a live conversation with the authors—Nora Lewis\, Txai Sibley\, Nicholas Stubblefield\, Michael Redmond\, Molly Kleinman\, Shobita Parthasarathy\, and Denia Djokić—to discuss research findings\, as well as policy recommendations for the governance of SMRs and the uranium supply chain.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Walter J. Weber\, Jr. 
Distinguished Lecture in Environmental and Energy Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Jeffrey McCutcheon is the General Electric Professor of Advanced Manufacturing in the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Department at the University of Connecticut.  He received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Dayton and his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Yale University. For nearly 20 years\, he has pioneered work in membrane based separations\, notably in the areas of osmotic processes and membrane formation. He has published over 120 refereed publications and has several patents on membrane technology.  He has served the separations community as a Director for both the AIChE Separations Division and the North American Membrane Society (NAMS) and served as President of NAMS.  He recently concluded a 5-year term as the Deputy Topic Area lead for Materials & Manufacturing Topic Area in the National Alliance for Water Innovation (NAWI)\, the Department of Energy’s $100M “Water Hub” dedicated to supporting the development of desalination technology in the United States.  He has received numerous awards including the FRI/John G. Kunesh Award from the AIChE Separations Division\, the AIChE Separation Division FRI/Neil Yeoman Innovation Award\, the North American Membrane Society Permeance Prize and the Global Water Summit Water Technology Idol. In 2024 he won the Paul L. Busch Award from the Water Research Foundation\, and he was inducted into the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering in 2021.  In 2017\, he was named the Executive Director of Fraunhofer USA Center for Energy Innovation and served for 3 years before taking the Center to its now independent status as the Connecticut Center for Applied Separations Technologies (CCAST).  CCAST is dedicated to identifying opportunities to implement membrane and other advanced separation technology into various industrial processes in order to lower energy use\, reduce carbon footprint\, limit waste\, and prevent adverse environmental and health impacts.  He is also the Founder and CEO of membraneX\, a UConn spinout dedicated to commercializing a new membrane manufacturing technology. \n\nCustomized Membranes for Water Treatment and Desalination\n\nThe thin film composite (TFC) membrane is a versatile membrane design platform that enables the use of ultra-thin membranes with both high selectivity and productivity.  The ultra-thin nature of these fragile membranes necessitates the use of a porous\, non-selective and low resistance support layer that provides mechanical strength.  The TFC membrane is defined by these two layers being chemically distinct and therefore customizable based on desired characteristics (e.g. cost\, processability\, selectivity). The most commonly manufactured TFC membrane is the reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membrane. These membranes are made through interfacial polymerization\, which is a process developed over 40 years ago by John Cadotte.  This process was a major innovation in membrane manufacturing as it allowed for the formation of the thin selective layer to be formed in-situ directly onto the supporting membrane.  The process is scalable and enables the mass production of high performance RO membranes. The process and these membranes are not without their drawbacks\, however. The process is relatively uncontrollable\, is limited to a small subset of polymer material chemistries\, and can lead to membranes with some undesirable properties (e.g. roughness). Despite these limitations\, this manufacturing process has not changed in over 40 years and instead the community has engineered around these weaknesses through increasingly complex and expensive process system design.  In this talk\, we provide context for why this has happened and offer a new manufacturing innovation\, electrohydrodynamic spray\, that may enable the expansion of TFC membrane chemistries to well beyond those currently offered commercially.  This expanded library of chemistries will enable emergent “clever” reverse osmosis processes to perform with low specific energy consumption.  We demonstrate our ability to make membranes with a range of predictable performance and articulate a value proposition for commercial use cases.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Dissertation Defense Seminar: Cassandra Zuckerman
DESCRIPTION:Telomeres are nucleoprotein complexes at chromosome termini that are vital for the preservation of genome integrity. Telomeric DNA consists of hexad repeats (GGTTAG in mammals) that are mostly double-stranded (ds)\, ending in a short\, single-stranded (ss) 3′ overhang. In dividing cells\, telomeric DNA shortens with each round of DNA replication\, causing the “end replication problem.” A specialized ribonucleoprotein (RNP) enzyme\, telomerase\, replenishes telomeric DNA repeats to aid in resolving this problem. \nNatural chromosome ends resemble dsDNA breaks\, creating the “end protection problem\,” the necessity to protect natural ends from the DNA damage response/repair machinery. The six-protein mammalian shelterin complex binds telomeric repeats to protect chromosome ends from unwanted repair. Shelterin dysfunction results in end deprotection and mouse embryonic lethality. POT1 is a critical shelterin component that protects the telomeric ssDNA overhang and the ds–ss junction\, and helps facilitate telomerase action. Thus\, a single POT1 orchestrates multiple telomeric functions\, complicating the dissection of its functions individually. Studying the shelterin complex in in toto is even more challenging\, as POT1 is separated from the dsDNA-binding shelterin proteins by two additional shelterin subunits. \n\nIn contrast to humans\, C. elegans (Ce) has four putative POT1 homologs (Ce POT-1\, POT-2\, POT-3\, and MRT-1)\, leading us to hypothesize that POT1 functions are separated on different polypeptides\, making it feasible to study each POT1 function individually. The dsDNA-binding proteins of C. elegans have also been discovered\, and they bind directly to CePOT-1\, greatly simplifying the composition of the shelterin complex. However\, how the other CePOT1 homologs integrate into shelterin to protect and replicate chromosome ends is not known. Through my doctoral studies\, I discovered a novel interaction of CePOT-1 with CePOT-2 and Ce-MRT-1 via a CePOT-1 binding site shared by CePOT-2 and CeMRT-1. My studies revealed that CePOT-1 acts as a bridge to connect these single-stranded DNA-binding proteins with CeTEBP-1 and ceTEBP-2\, C. elegans’ telomeric dsDNA-binding proteins. Taken together\, my findings shed light on how C. elegans shelterin assembles at chromosome ends.\n\nThe second part of my thesis involves MEICEN\, a testis-specific protein essential for male fertility. Centrosomes are organelles that play several major roles during mitosis and meiosis\, including the formation of the bipolar spindle during mitosis and the formation of cilia and flagella. In sperm\, remodeled centrosomes\, called basal bodies\, anchor the sperm flagellum to the sperm head. Centrins are proteins fundamental to centrosome assembly and duplication. Of the four mammalian centrins\, centrin 1 is specifically expressed in testes and is essential for male fertility. \n\nOur collaborators\, the Shibuya lab\, identified MEICEN as a novel\, testes-specific regulator of centrosome dynamics and sperm tail maturation that binds centrin and is essential for male fertility. Meicen knockout mice display irregular centrin 1 localization\, which results in sperm tail defects. Yet how MEICEN binds centrin during meiosis was unknown. As part of my doctoral studies\, I used SEC-MALS to reveal that MEICEN homodimerizes to bind a total of sixteen centrin molecules. I then solved the crystal structure of the MEICEN-centrin 1 complex to provide the structural basis of an interaction critical for spermatogenesis. Finally\, I introduced mutations at the MEICEN-centrin interface to demonstrate that it abrogates the MEICEN-centrin interaction. Overall\, our findings inspire a model in which MEICEN acts as a storage system for centrin to limit its over-accumulation at meiotic centrosomes\, preventing their overduplication.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Brothers and Uncles\, Kings and Typecutters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the evolution of the printed page through the prism of one remarkable family of scholar-printers. \n\nPrinting changed the speed and scale at which information circulated. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cathy Barry Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Cathy Barry has a profound connection to the natural world\, which has shaped her artistic journey. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 1): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:Phase 1 Opening Reception: September 18\, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they've curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\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 &amp\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &amp\; 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.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Flash Talk | Through the Lens: Examining Colorful Objects from Karanis
DESCRIPTION:Since 2021\, IPAMAA PhD candidate Laurel Fricker has worked with Kelsey Museum conservators on *Investigating Color in Roman Egypt*\, a project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. During this time\, she has studied pigments and dyes on artifacts from Karanis—mainly terracotta figurines and textiles—using various analytical techniques\, allowing her to reconstruct the colorful world that ancient people created and inhabited.\n\nThis research forms the basis of the Kelsey Museum’s newest Kelsey in Focus case\, which opened in mid-October. Curated by Laurel\, “Through the Lens: Examining Colorful Objects from Karanis” takes a close look at three figurines uncovered from domestic contexts at Karanis\, exploring how pigments—often invisible to the naked eye—can be investigated using digital microscopy and multispectral imaging. \n\nJoin us at this Flash Talk to learn more about Laurel’s research and exhibition. To register for this lecture\, fill out the form at https://forms.gle/jGTJinBfv3fsnTH37. Zoom log-in information will be provided upon registration. Please sign up by 9:30 AM the day of the event to ensure you receive a confirmation email containing the access code.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Daeun Lee Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Africa’s hydroclimate and environments from the Miocene (~23–5 million years ago) to present-day have been shaped by dynamic interactions among ocean circulation\, tectonic evolution\, atmospheric chemistry\, and hydroclimatic processes. Understanding these shifts offers vital context for reconstructing ancient environments and the evolution of tropical ecosystems. However\, persisting challenges remain in explaining the decoupling of global climate signals from regional hydrology\, especially in Africa\, a continent central to human evolution and biodiversity.\n\nThis dissertation integrates climate modeling\, proxy analyses\, and novel isotope measurements to investigate: (1) how multiple equilibrium states in ocean circulation\, particularly the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)\, contribute to the decoupling of atmospheric CO₂ and regional climate signals during the Middle Miocene Climate Transition (MMCT)\; (2) the impact of tectonic uplift and valley formation within the East African Rift System (EARS) on Miocene rainfall patterns\, moisture transport\, and water-isotope signals\, and the influence of AMOC on African hydroclimate\; and (3) the seasonal and spatial controls on modern rainwater isotopic composition across tropical Africa\, improving proxy calibration for paleoclimate reconstructions.\n\nChapter 2 focuses on the global perspective\, investigating how multiple equilibrium states in ocean circulation\, particularly the AMOC\, contribute to the decoupling of atmospheric CO₂ and regional climate signals during the MMCT. MMCT simulations\, using the isotope-enabled Community Earth System Model (iCESM)\, reveal that initial ocean conditions induce divergent equilibrium states that modulate AMOC strength\, sea surface temperature gradients\, and precipitation. These findings provide a mechanistic explanation for the frequent asynchrony observed between global pCO₂ and regional SST proxies (UK'37) during the Miocene.\n\nChapter 3 zooms into Africa to identify the driving mechanisms of flora and faunal changes during the Late Cenozoic (23–15 million years ago)\, by examining the impact of tectonic uplift and valley formation within the EARS on Miocene rainfall patterns\, moisture transport\, and water-isotope signals. High-resolution paleoclimate modeling demonstrates how sequential tectonic uplift amplifies orographic precipitation\, intensifies low-level jets\, generates rain-shadow effects\, and modulates water-isotope signatures\; these simulated results can be validated against regional proxy archives (e.g.\, leaf-wax δD\, paleosol carbonates δ18O\, tooth enamel δ18O)\, which are very limited for this time interval in eastern Africa. Sensitivity experiments in this chapter also explore the additional influence of AMOC state in controlling continental climate variance.\n\nChapter 4 then shifts the focus to modern hydroclimate\, presenting new stable water isotope datasets from tropical Africa collected at multiple sites. By analyzing biweekly rainwater isotope records\, this chapter disentangles the seasonal and spatial controls on meteoric water isotopes and challenges canonical interpretations of the “amount effect.” The data emphasize the significance of shifts in moisture source\, convective activity\, and dynamic atmospheric boundaries as primary drivers of isotopic variability. This new observation could help refine proxy calibration for hydroclimate reconstructions.\n\nBy synthesizing isotope-enabled Earth System Modeling\, proxy archives\, and modern stable isotope datasets\, this work advances understanding of global to regional climate driving mechanisms\, tectonic-hydroclimate feedbacks\, and controls on African rainwater isotope variability. Africa’s dynamic tectonics and climatic transitions during the Miocene uniquely shaped rainfall patterns and water isotope signals\, offering key insights into the evolving climate system we are facing today.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:he aggregate-then-evaluate approach to model uncertainty.
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we will discuss a new framework for incorporating model uncertainty into decision-making under uncertainty. To develop a mathematical formalism for decision-making\, one usually studies functionals on the space of random variables\, where the interpretation of the functional depends on the problem's context. For example\, functionals can be used to calculate capital requirements in quantitative risk management or to calculate premiums for insurable losses in actuarial science. In practice\, one usually begins by estimating a probabilistic model and using law-invariant functionals. This approach is convenient because the calculation of law-invariant functionals is tractable and leverages the extensive literature on statistical model building. However\, there is often considerable uncertainty about the probabilistic model estimated from the data. To address this model uncertainty\, one often resorts to distributionally robust optimization. This is done by fixing a collection of competing probabilistic models and computing the worst-case value of the law-invariant functional under them. As we will see\, distributionally robust optimization can be seen as an evaluate-then-aggregate (ETA) approach to model uncertainty. This will then motivate us to discuss an aggregate-then-evaluate (ATE) approach. After defining the ATE approach\, we will discuss ways to ensure that the decisions made through it respect normatively appealing properties\, e.g.\, the preference for diversification. Finally\, we will conclude this talk by showing that the ATE approach better supports decision-making when the statistician is a Bayesian. To do this\, we will show why the ETA approach is not the right way to go about decision-making under uncertainty as a Bayesian\, and how the ATE approach does not run into the same issue.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ebird & Friends Holiday Show
DESCRIPTION:For 18 years Erin Zindle has been curating an epic annual musical celebration inspired by the themes of the holiday season. Each December\, this event is a warm hearted lift-off to the holidays that has become an indispensable tradition for families in the greater Ann Arbor area and far beyond. Zindle\, The Ragbirds’ songwriter\, lead singer and multi-instrumentalist\, produces this gala event with the intention of joyfully interconnecting the performers and audiences of the Michigan music community. A star-studded “house band” along with a horn section\, string section and backup singers\, lays the foundation for guest vocalists to shine. \n\nThis year’s featured artists include avant-garde\, folk-soul cellist Jordan Hamilton\, gutsy garage-rock singer-songwriter Elisabeth Pixley-Fink\, beloved Ann Arbor folk-bender Billy King\, looper\, multi-instrumentalist\, and producer Ki-5\, indie folk-rock singer-songwriter Dylan Charles and incendiary Outlaw-Americana duo Ember & Ash (Erin Zindle and Alex Holycross\, of The Native Howl)\n\nThe show’s strength is its diversity\, with a wide range of song styles highlighting the incredibly talented instrumentalists and vocalists within the group. Creative arrangements of original songs\, new modern hits\, and traditional carols make this show unlike any other - it’s truly “not your mama’s Christmas show”. Master of Ceremonies comedienne Shelly Smith guides listeners through the experience with laughter and good cheer.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ebird & Friends Holiday Show
DESCRIPTION:For 18 years Erin Zindle has been curating an epic annual musical celebration inspired by the themes of the holiday season. Each December\, this event is a warm hearted lift-off to the holidays that has become an indispensable tradition for families in the greater Ann Arbor area and far beyond. Zindle\, The Ragbirds’ songwriter\, lead singer and multi-instrumentalist\, produces this gala event with the intention of joyfully interconnecting the performers and audiences of the Michigan music community. A star-studded “house band” along with a horn section\, string section and backup singers\, lays the foundation for guest vocalists to shine. \n\nThis year’s featured artists include avant-garde\, folk-soul cellist Jordan Hamilton\, gutsy garage-rock singer-songwriter Elisabeth Pixley-Fink\, beloved Ann Arbor folk-bender Billy King\, looper\, multi-instrumentalist\, and producer Ki-5\, indie folk-rock singer-songwriter Dylan Charles and incendiary Outlaw-Americana duo Ember & Ash (Erin Zindle and Alex Holycross\, of The Native Howl)\n\nThe show’s strength is its diversity\, with a wide range of song styles highlighting the incredibly talented instrumentalists and vocalists within the group. Creative arrangements of original songs\, new modern hits\, and traditional carols make this show unlike any other - it’s truly “not your mama’s Christmas show”. Master of Ceremonies comedienne Shelly Smith guides listeners through the experience with laughter and good cheer.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.
