This one-day event invites students\, data enthusiasts\, and community members to work side-by-side and analyze real-world data for meaningful impact\, no matter your experience level. This year\, in partnership with the Michigan Department of State\, participants will dive into campaign finance disclosure data to uncover important trends and insights in Michigan politics.\n\nWhy Campaign Finance Data?\nWho funds politics\, and why does it matter? Campaign finance data tracks who gives money to candidates\, how that money is spent\, and how it can potentially influence election outcomes. But often\, that data can be difficult to access or understand. At this event\, participants will dive into real campaign finance disclosure data\, explore the patterns of money and influence in Michigan elections\, and develop solutions that make this information more transparent and usable. By turning complex data into insight\, participants will walk away more informed and help communities be empowered through data access\, data transparency\, and a stronger democracy\, all while putting their skills to work for the public good.\n\nAbout A2 Data Dive\nParticipants of all skill levels are welcome at the A2 Data Dive and preceding events. Whether participants are looking to enhance their data skills or contribute to community impact\, A2 Data Dive offers a welcoming environment to analyze and democratize data\, connect with others\, and make a difference.\n\nTo learn about past Data Dives\, please visit the A2 Data Dive website. For any questions\, please email umsi.engagement@umich.edu.

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.

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:141375-21888735@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:20251108T181528 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251108T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251107T010000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Men's Tennis vs ITA Sectional Championships DESCRIPTION:Men's Tennis vs ITA Sectional Championships UID:141626-21889109@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141626 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Men's Tennis LOCATION:Varsity Tennis Bldg CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251019T112536 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251108T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251108T170000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:QuantUM Quantum Computing Hackathon DESCRIPTION:Are you fascinated by innovative\, emerging technology?

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.

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.

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.

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:141375-21888719@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:20251108T181529 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251109T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251107T010000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Men's Tennis vs ITA Sectional Championships DESCRIPTION:Men's Tennis vs ITA Sectional Championships UID:141627-21889110@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Men's Tennis LOCATION:Varsity Tennis Bldg CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251024T091720 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251109T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251109T130000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:DMUM Annual 5K DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to invite you to one of Dance Marathon's largest fundraising events of the year\, our annual 5K!

Set in the lively town of Messina\, the story follows soldiers returning from war\, quick-tongued rivals who might be more than they seem\, and a community where words carry power. As mischief and misunderstanding intertwine\, Shakespeare explores how easily truth can blur with deception... and how love can still triumph through it all.

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.

The abstract for this presentation is below.\n\nSometime in late January of 1429\, two women—Joanna (or Joan) Clifland and her new neighbor\, Margery Baxter—engaged in a quiet conversation by Joanna’s fireside\, huddled over their needlework. By the time the conversation ended\, Margery had implicated herself as not only a heretic\, but as a prominent figure enmeshed in a network of heretics and their supporters across the county of Norfolk. Joanna’s deposition is lengthy\, but it is only at the end that she mentions\, almost offhandedly\, that her two servants\, Joan Grymle and Agnes Bethom\, had been present the entire time—and even directly addressed by Margery herself in her attempts at proselytization. What’s more\, when called to testify\, the younger of the two girls\, Agnes\, corrects one aspect of her mistress’s account in court. Sixty years earlier\, in the archiepiscopal court of York\, Ellen\, the wife of Thomas Taliour\, recounted before the judge that thirteen years earlier\, she had refused the offer of her former mistress to serve as a wet nurse for her child on the grounds that she did not love her former mistress’s son as much as she loved her own child\, and would not be willing to sacrifice her child’s life for that of her mistress’s son.\n\nAlthough separated by geography and time\, these examples pose interesting questions for conventional views of servants and service in late medieval England: the obligatory hierarchy implied between servant and employer\; the “life cycle” model that has prevailed of seeing service as one “stop” along the way to maturity and adulthood\; and the insulation of servants from the personal matters of those whom they serve. Taking as my time period roughly c. 1300 to 1500\, and drawing on a combination of legal and literary sources\, I hope to explore the degree to which servants were embedded within the households they served\, and how this embedding may disrupt both internal hierarchies among servants and the larger inequalities of social class embodied by the employer/employee relationship. \n\nLunch will be provided.\n\nPlease note the change in location for this meeting!

Building on her interdisciplinary background in engineering\, design\, and psychology\, Hyesun will explore how humans and intelligent agents collaborate beyond one-to-one settings—extending to multi-agent and team-based environments. She will discuss her research on modeling and predicting trust dynamics profiles based on individual characteristics\, as well as her studies on the relationship between trust and altruism in multi-operator\, single-agent systems. Together\, these insights inform the design of adaptive\, trust-aware autonomous agents that enhance human–AI teaming and support cooperative\, human-centered autonomy.

This talk will provide an overview of our ongoing research quantifying the environmental and operational implications of vehicle electrification across different segments. We examine how electric passenger cars\, delivery vans\, and transit buses differ in their energy use\, emissions\, and cost trajectories using a combination of data-driven modeling\, optimization\, and system analysis. Example studies I will introduce in this talk include regional life cycle emissions assessment for passenger cars\, real-world energy consumption prediction for delivery fleets\, and transition planning for clean bus networks using a multi-stage stochastic optimization model . Together\, these studies demonstrate how analytical and data-driven methods can help us investigate vehicle performance\, fleet operations\, and system-level emissions outcomes\, providing actionable insights.\n---\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Tuğçe Yüksel is an Assistant Professor in Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at Sabancı University\, Istanbul\, Turkey.

Probing the Higgs boson-charm quark coupling with the CMS Experiment DESCRIPTION:How strongly the Higgs boson couples to second-generation quarks remains a central open question for testing the Standard Model’s flavor structure. I will present the CMS program targeting the Higgs boson-charm quark Yukawa coupling via Higgs decays to a pair of charm quarks. I will focus on a new search in the until-recently unexplored production mode where the Higgs boson is produced in association with a top-quark pair\, and discuss complementary searches in associated production with W or Z bosons. The key enabling tools in these searches are cutting-edge jet-flavor identification algorithms and novel analysis strategies that exploit event-level correlations\, both of which are powered by state-of-the-art deep learning techniques. I will outline prospects at the HL-LHC and close with opportunities at future Higgs factories.

But interacting with new and diverse social partners also offers benefits\, like novelty\, a sense of belonging\, and future friendship. A healthy social network therefore balances social exploitation (investing in familiar relationships) and social exploration (interacting with strangers and embracing differences). In this talk\, I first present survey and experience sampling data that suggests preferences for spending time with friends versus acquaintances predict distinct patterns in well-being and social network structure. Despite its benefits\, social exploration comes with challenges: it can be harder to connect and or find common ground with dissimilar others. Drawing on sociocentric network data\, I show that successful exploration hinges not just on who we meet\, but how we perceive them: perceived similarity\, more than actual similarity\, predicts outcomes like belonging and even shared laughter. These findings suggest that the explore-exploit tradeoff in social life is not just about who we spend time with\, but how we bridge the unfamiliar into the familiar.\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.

The conversation will explore the complex and challenging experiences faced by farmworkers today\, as well as their heightened precarity due to the policies of the current administration\, through the lens of academic research\, public health\, visual storytelling\, and legal advocacy.\n\nMeet the Participants:\n\nNarsiso Martinez (b. 1977\, Oaxaca\, Mexico) came to the United States when he was 20 years old. He attended Evans Community Adult School and completed high school in 2006 at the age of 29. He earned an Associate of Arts degree in 2009 from Los Angeles City College. In the fall of 2012 Narsiso earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from California State University Long Beach. In the spring of 2018 he received a Master of Fine Arts degree in drawing and painting from California State University Long Beach\, and was awarded the prestigious Dedalus Foundation MFA Fellowship in Painting and Sculpture. His work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. His work is in the collections of the Hammer Museum\, OCMA\, Amon Carter Museum of American Art\, University of Arizona Museum of Art\, Long Beach Museum of Art\, Crocker Art Museum\, Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon\, and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Martinez lives and works in Long Beach\, CA.\n\nDr. Iglesias-Rios’s research interests are the intersection of environmental and occupational health with precarious employment and labor exploitation in vulnerable populations. Her previous research assessed the impact of labor trafficking by studying how patterns of violence and coercion affect the mental health of female and male trafficking survivors including children\, adolescents and adults. She also sought to understand how the living and working conditions during trafficking affect the mental health of survivors. Dr. Iglesias-Rios is the Co-Investigator of the Michigan Farmworker Project\, a community-based participatory project that assess the working and living conditions of migrant and seasonal farmworkers in the state of Michigan. The focus of the research is to investigate indicators of precarious employment and labor exploitation that involve psychosocial\, occupational and environmental exposures and complex contextual conditions (social\, economic and physical milieu) of farmworkers.\n\nAmanda Krugliak is a curator and artist known for performative\, conceptual\, and experiential installations\, in charge of programming for the Institute for the Humanities Gallery since 2009. In 2012\, she co-created the internationally recognized installation *State of Exception *with artist Richard Barnes and U-M anthropologist Jason De León based upon De León’s Undocumented Migration Project. She is frequently a guest lecturer and leads workshops on curating scholarship and the gallery as a social justice practice.

I'll discuss our recent preprint about affine semigroup rings\, which are fun and important examples of commutative rings formed from the combinatorial data of an affine semigroup\, which is a subset of N^n (or sometimes Z^n) which contains the zero vector and are closed under the usual +. We studied the problem of Frobenius closure in affine semigroup rings\, which\, due to some theorems of Bruns-Li-Römer\, are controlled by the (weak) normalization map. We construct an adjustment to an affine semigroup A which we called the p-weak normalization of A\, which depends on a fixed prime number p\, and from that we are able to bound Frobenius closure in the corresponding affine semigroup ring over a field of that characteristic. We also provide a script which compute this new weak normalization and then can use Macaulay2 to compute Frobenius closure in affine semigroup rings defined over Z/pZ.

Ethics\, Algorithms\, and History DESCRIPTION:Building on the arguments in his recent book\, Ethics of the Algorithm: Digital Humanities and Holocaust Memory (2024)\, this talk focuses on the challenges and possibilities of using computational methods to interpret the legacies of historical violence and archives of testimonial witnessing. Moving between ‘digital humanities’ and ‘AI humanities\,’ Presner explores the meaning-making processes of algorithms and interrogates the decision-making mechanisms of Large Language Models for the study of history and memory.\n\nTodd Presner is Chair of UCLA’s Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies and serves as Special Advisor to Vice Chancellor Roger Wakimoto in the Office for Research and Creative Activities (2018-present).

They have a robust notion of Fourier coefficients\, defined in an analytic way. Using the Fourier coefficients\, I will give an algebraic characterization of the cuspidal quaternionic modular forms (on F_4\, E_6\, E_7\, E_8) in terms of holomorphic modular forms on smaller rank groups. That is\, I will explain how cuspidal QMFs on these exceptional groups can be reconstructed from holomorphic modular forms on groups of type SO(2\,n) and SL_2 in an algebraic way. As a consequence\, I deduce that the cuspidal QMFs on F_4\, E_6\, E_7\, and E_8 have a basis where every element of this basis has all Fourier coefficients being algebraic numbers.

We also construct time series spanning over 20 years in 86 countries. Hours worked per adult are slightly bell-shaped with GDP per capita but weakly correlated with development overall. Hours worked by the young (aged 15-19) and elderly (aged 60+) decline with development\, driven by growing school attendance and public pension coverage. Hours worked among prime-age adults (aged 20-59) are mildly bell-shaped with development for men while they are increasing for women. The fall in male hours in middle-to-higher income countries is driven by reduced hours per worker and is offset by increases in female labor force participation. These two forces have exactly compensated each other in many countries\, leading to a remarkable long-run stability of prime-age hours worked. Labor taxes are strongly negatively correlated with prime-age hours worked both in international comparisons and overtime within countries. Controlling for government transfers only partly reduces the link between labor taxes and prime-age hours\, ruling out substitution and income effects on labor supply as the only driver. Controlling for working hours regulations and the size of the formal sector eliminates this link\, suggesting that regulations also play a large role in reducing intensive hours in higher-income countries.

Moving away from the eugenic principles that dominated the first part of this period\, policy increasingly treated disability as something to be accommodated rather than eliminated\, and disabled people as folks who should be supported to live full lives in the community. \n\nBut recent events -- punitive responses to mental illness and homelessness at the state and federal levels\, the dramatic retrenchment of Medicaid and other support programs during the past few months\, and others -- threaten to return us to the world of the Eugenics Era and the English Poor Laws before that\, in which disability is treated as a drain on society and those with disabilities are to be highly regulated. \n\nThis lecture will elaborate on these points.\n\nSince 2018\, Hal and Carol Kohn and the Kohn Charitable Trust have committed a total of $17 million to the Ford School to establish the Kohn Collaborative for Social Policy\, a hub that will catalyze interdisciplinary research and policy impact to promote social equity and inclusion for all U.S. residents. The collaborative consists of three pillars: Kohn Professors\, Kohn Scholars\, and policy impact. The Arlene Susan Kohn Professor of Social Policy is one of five Kohn professorships\, specifically to support research that contributes to policies advancing the rights of disabled individuals in the United States. It was named in honor of Hal’s twin sister\, born with Down syndrome\, who passed away in 2016.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\n\nSamuel Bagenstos is the Arlene Susan Kohn Professor of Social Policy. at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy and Frank G. Millard Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School.\n\nFrom June 2022 to December 2024\, he served as General Counsel to the Department of Health and Human Services. He played a key role in advancing and implementing policies across the Department\, including pursuing several initiatives on abortion and reproductive rights\; crafting and defending the first-ever Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program\; drafting and issuing major rules on civil rights\, health privacy\, Medicare and Medicaid\, drug advertising\, the regulation of \"lab-developed\" medical tests and of food safety\, the treatment of unaccompanied migrant children in HHS care\, the treatment of LGBT kids in the foster care system\, and many other issues\; advancing marijuana rescheduling\; advising and defending the Food and Drug Administration's tobacco enforcement program\; and working with the Department of Justice on litigation involving HHS\, including significant abortion rights\, free speech\, and tobacco regulation cases in the Supreme Court.\n\nFrom Inauguration Day 2021 to June 2022\, he served as General Counsel to the Office of Management and Budget. There\, he worked on President Biden's Day One executive orders\; helped respond to COVID\, including implementing several crucial aid programs\; responded to regulations adopted by the prior administration just before the inauguration and helped advance the new administration's regulations on labor\, health\, the environment\, and much else\; helped craft and implement the American Rescue Plan\, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law\, and what became the Inflation Reduction Act\; and assisted in developing two annual budgets\, along with advising the entire Executive Branch on issues of appropriations law and administrative law.\n\nIn an earlier stint on leave from the University\, from 2009 to 2011\, Bagenstos was an appointee in the US Department of Justice\, where he served as the principal deputy assistant attorney general for civil rights\, the number two official in the Civil Rights Division. There\, he helped promulgate the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations—the first comprehensive update of those regulations since they were first issued in 1991—and led the reinvigoration of the Civil Rights Division’s enforcement of the US Supreme Court’s decision in Olmstead v. L.C.\, which guarantees people with disabilities the right to live and receive services in the most integrated setting appropriate. He led the negotiations of significant Olmstead settlements with the states of Delaware and Georgia\, which guarantee appropriate\, community-based services to thousands of people with disabilities. He also personally argued major cases in federal district courts and courts of appeals.\n\nAs an academic\, Bagenstos has published articles in journals such as the Yale Law Journal\, the Stanford Law Review\, the Columbia Law Review\, the California Law Review\, the Virginia Law Review\, the Cornell Law Review\, the Georgetown Law Journal\, and many others. He also has published two books: Law and the Contradictions of the Disability Rights Movement (Yale University Press\, 2009) and Disability Rights Law: Cases and Materials (Foundation Press\, originally published in 2010 but now working on the fourth edition)\, and he has written articles for nonacademic audiences in publications such as Democracy: A Journal of Ideas\, The American Prospect\, The Washington Monthly\, Slate\, and The New Republic.\n\nBagenstos is actively involved in public and community affairs\, both in Ann Arbor and statewide. Pursuant to an appointment by Gov.

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 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.

Professor Tach will present\, \"The Cumulative Impact of Federal Place-Based Policies on Neighborhood Inequality\, 1990-2019.\"\n\nAbstract: “Concentrated neighborhood disadvantage remains a defining feature of the U.S. landscape\, sustained by legacies of racial exclusion and public disinvestment. In recent decades\, the federal government has increasingly invested in high-poverty neighborhoods via place-based policies—spatially targeted interventions designed to improve economic opportunity\, housing\, and local infrastructure. Although prior research has examined the effects of specific place-based programs\, we know less about the collective and cumulative impact of the place-based policy field as a whole. This study develops a novel framework for assessing policy impact at the field level to evaluate how an array of federal place-based housing and economic development initiatives have jointly reshaped disadvantaged neighborhoods. Using longitudinal data that link federal funding streams to specific neighborhoods from 1990 to 2019\, we find that federal economic development programs significantly improved local economic and housing indicators but also induced racialized patterns of residential displacement. By contrast\, place-based federal housing programs increased property values while preserving rental affordability and demographic stability. We assess the ecological significance of these changes and find that they were substantial enough to alter durable patterns of neighborhood stratification within metropolitan areas. This analysis highlights how examining the collective and cumulative influence of policy fields—rather than discrete interventions—illuminates the state’s evolving role in producing and potentially transforming urban inequality.” UID:141228-21888427@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141228 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:policy,Political Economy,Public Policy,Sociology LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 BD CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251111T112047 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251111T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251111T123000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Lunch with the Deans (Fall 2025) hosted by the Rackham Student Government DESCRIPTION:Want a chance to meet and chat with the Rackham Graduate School Deans?

In our model\, households’ price elasticities of demand endogenously vary with wealth. Heterogeneous firms set their price as oligopolistic competitors given the endogenous distribution of demand. A firm’s market power varies with the distribution of demand as households with different elasticities sort into high- and low-price varieties. Under standard preferences\, larger firms’ products are more appealing\, sell at higher prices\, to more households\, and a relatively richer customer base\, face less elastic demand\, and set higher markups. Quantitatively (a) our model rationalizes a wide set of recent empirical studies in the cross-section of households and firms\, (b) we find household heterogeneity to be a dominant source of markup variation across firms\, and (c) a one-time fiscal transfer of one percent of GDP to households leads to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the aggregate markup.

While we have ample data on species-level responses to global change\, our knowledge of the intricate web of biotic interactions that structure ecological communities remains limited. Using birds of North America\, I present two case studies on how the community composition and species interactions are affected by global change\, especially human-induced land use changes. Then\, I introduce a novel pipeline that enables automatic extraction of species interactions data from citizen science platforms using large language models. Together\, these studies present a new framework on studying the community-level consequences of global change in birds and beyond.

These minerals\, referred to as treasure sand (baosha) in court documents\, were essential in production\, but were depleted and discarded in the process. By examining these long-overlooked consumable process materials\, this research aims to contribute to our understanding of Qing production infrastructure and\, more broadly\, provide a fresh perspective on resource management in early modern China.\n \nDr. Yulian Wu is associate professor of the History Department at Michigan State University. She specializes in material culture\, gender relations\, and Manchu studies in late imperial China. Her first book\, \"Luxurious Networks: Salt Merchants\, Status\, and Statecraft in Eighteenth-Century China\,\" examines the various entanglements between Huizhou salt merchants and material objects in eighteenth-century China. Her current project explores the development of jade industry in the Qing dynasty\, aiming to illuminate our understanding of the dynamic relationships among natural resource\, craftmanship and technology of governance in early modern China.

This coupling increases the need to have reliable uncertainty quantification. Traditional methods for such estimation\, however\, require distributional assumptions that are incompatible with these modern black-box estimators. In their place\, post-hoc\, distribution-free methods of uncertainty quantification have arisen. Among these is ``conformal prediction.'' At its core\, conformal prediction performs uncertainty quantification by replacing model point predictions with ``prediction regions\,'' subsets of the output space whose shape and size are defined to guarantee coverage of the truth with some user-specified probability.\n\nDespite such guarantees\, these implicitly defined predictions regions do not directly lend themselves to practical use\; while researchers professed their supposed utility\, their downstream use was not immediately obvious. In this thesis\, we propose and develop one such use: model-based decision-making. We demonstrate that conformal prediction can be integrated into a variety of decision-making pipelines\, from single-step predict-then-optimize problems to model-based LQR control\, and consequently enable guarantees on suboptimality that otherwise cannot be established.\n\nWe develop this conformal decision-making framework over three works. In the first\, we focus on the development of conformal prediction in the space of scientific inquiry: here\, decisions are often framed as hypothesis testing of parameter values. Increasingly common in certain domains\, such as astrophysics and neuroscience\, is the use approximate variational inference to do such parameter estimation\, due to the large scale at which such estimation is to be performed. Amortized variational inference produces a posterior approximation that can be rapidly computed given any new observation. Unfortunately\, there are few guarantees about the quality of these approximate posteriors. We propose Conformalized Amortized Neural Variational Inference (CANVI)\, a procedure that is scalable\, easily implemented\, and provides guaranteed marginal coverage. Given a collection of candidate amortized posterior approximators\, CANVI constructs conformalized predictors based on each candidate\, compares the predictors using a metric known as predictive efficiency\, and returns the most efficient predictor. \n\nIn the next work\, we generalize the setting for such robust decision-making\, expanding from scientific parameter testing to a more general space of ``predict-then-optimize'' problems. As in standard decision-making formulations\, these problems frame the decision-making task as a parametric optimization problem. The unique aspect here\, however\, is that the parameters of the problem are not revealed to the decision-maker. As a result\, the decision-maker is forced to estimate the unknown parameters and optimize their decision against this surrogate objective\, hence the given name: the estimation is performed by ``predicting'' the parameters with an upstream model. In the nominal approach\, the parameters predicted by the upstream model are assumed to precisely coincide with the true\, unknown parameters\; this approach of specification\, however\, fails to have any formal guarantees on the resulting decision. Towards this end\, we develop a robust analog of this nominal problem formulation\, called ``Conformal Predict-Then-Optimize'' (CPO)\, from which suboptimality guarantees can be established. We then demonstrate how a simple\, residual-based score results in overly conservative decision-making and propose an alternative score that produces structured\, non-convex prediction regions and\, in turn\, more informative decisions. \n\nFinally\, we demonstrate the generality of the proposed conformal predict-then-optimize decision-making framework. In particular\, we demonstrate that CPO can be extended to a recently proposed extension to conformal prediction in which the scalar score function is replaced with an analogous vector score and the quantile threshold by a quantile envelope. We similarly demonstrate that CPO naturally lends itself to extension to model-based robust control applications. We\, thus\, develop extensions across these two applications and then demonstrate the consistent empirical improvements produced in each.

We present our methodology which is developed to extract 3D vehicle kinematic information from roadside cameras using deep learning. Ground truth data are collected with the help of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) in terms of top view bounding boxes\, providing vehicle position\, size\, orientation\, and velocity information with high precision. These can be converted to roadside view bounding boxes using homography transformation. The ground truth data and the roadside view images are used to train a modified YOLO neural network\, and thus\, to learn the homography transformation matrix. The output of the neural network is high-precision vehicle kinematic information which can be visualized in both the top view and the roadside view. Once the neural network is trained\, only the roadside cameras are needed to extract the kinematic information.\n\nMore on this research: https://ccat.umtri.umich.edu/research/u-m/generating-high-accuracy-transportation-datasets-with-unmanned-aerial-vehicles/\n---\nAbout the speaker: Gabor Orosz received an MSc degree in Engineering Physics from the Budapest University of Technology\, Hungary\, in 2002\, and a PhD degree in Engineering Mathematics from the University of Bristol\, UK\, in 2006.
