A significant percentage of people are now recognized as having neurotypes that are not well supported by societal norms and our collective understanding of how to communicate across and support neurodiversity is still developing. Fortunately researchers\, educators\, and advocates who identify as neurodivergent are contributing to a growing body of best practices. Join the LSA Faculty & Staff Disability Navigators to learn about neurodiversity and how we can all start creating more neuroinclusive workplaces. Attendees will need to register for and attend both Part 1 and Part 2 to gain a comprehensive understanding of this topic.\n\nIn Neurodiversity in the Workplace: Part 2\, participants will: \n1. Learn about communication best practices between neurotypes.\n2. Explore practical examples of how to foster neuroinclusive workplaces\, including workspace design\, meeting facilitation\, and supervision strategies.\n3. Exchange advice with fellow participants and generate a plan to start applying neuroinclusive practices right away.\n4. Obtain a reference guide to implementing best practices in your workplace.\n\nAudience: This is a beginner-level workshop open to any LSA employee\, including our student employees. LSA employees receive priority access\, so while external guests are welcome to register they will be waitlisted and moved off the waitlist as space allows.\n\nImportant note: Please do your best to register for and attend both parts 1 and 2 as the content builds on itself. This workshop will not be recorded.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21817979@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251016T100227 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241203T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241203T130000 SUMMARY:Well-being:MHealthy Winter Market at NCRC DESCRIPTION:Stop by an MHealthy Winter Market at NCRC\, a multi-vendor market celebrating locally-made\, locally-produced foods and products.

This thesis introduces a new perspective on multi-modal robot localization through the integration of geometric learning\, with a primary focus on equivariant networks to address these challenges. First\, we explore the application of geometric learning in the loop closure process\, enabling the robust identification of previously visited locations despite transformative changes. Next\, we propose SE(3)-equivariant transformer designs for learning point cloud correspondences\, crucial for point cloud registration tasks. Finally\, we integrate geometric learning with visual foundation models. Overall\, this dissertation highlights the advantages of incorporating geometric constraints into machine learning models\, significantly enhancing both the reliability and performance of robot localization and contributing to critical advancements in robotics.\n\nZoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91678338359?pwd=cLzyN6l1MU1exRFE25hKzb2uW9EMmW.1 UID:129436-21862723@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129436 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:Ford Robotics Building - 2300 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241202T164824 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241203T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241203T130000 SUMMARY:Well-being:Stress Less for Success DESCRIPTION:Stress Less for Success\, a three-day event hosted by the Alumni Association\, helps ease the stress of final exams by offering students a chance to relax\, rejuvenate\, and take a break from their studies so they can celebrate their hard work.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621458@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241122T103743 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241203T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241203T130000 SUMMARY:Other:World AIDS Day DESCRIPTION:Spectrum Center is proud to partner with the Visual AIDS organization for Day With(out) Art\, a program featuring seven new videos centering the emotional reality of living with HIV today.

DESCRIPTION:When explaining the declining labor income share in advanced economies\, the macro literature finds that the elasticity of substitution between capital and labor is greater than one. However\, the vast majority of micro-level estimates shows that capi- tal and labor are complements (elasticity less than one). Using firm- and establishment- level data from Korea\, we divide capital into equipment and software\, as they may interact with labor in different ways. Our estimation shows that equipment and labor are complements (elasticity 0.6)\, consistent with other micro-level estimates\, but soft- ware and labor are substitutes (1.6)\, a novel finding that helps reconcile the macro vs. micro-literature elasticity discord. As the quality of software improves\, labor shares fall within firms because of factor substitution and endogenously rising markups. In addition\, production reallocates toward firms that use software more intensively\, as they become effectively more productive. Because in the data these firms have higher markups and lower labor shares\, the reallocation further raises the aggregate markup and reduces the aggregate labor share. The rise of software accounts for two-thirds of the labor share decline in Korea between 1990 and 2018. The factor substitution and the markup channels are equally important. On the other hand\, the falling equipment price plays a minor role\, because the factor substitution and the markup channels offset each other.

It will be rescheduled later in the winter. \n\nThe Digital Accessible Futures Lab invites you to attend a roundtable conversation with William Cheng and Sunaura Taylor on disability and publishing\, publishing as a disabled author\, and publishing in/beyond disability studies. In a climate of scarcity and uncertainty\, how might one respond to hyper-normative demands for productivity? What does it mean to write (and publish) as a disabled scholar? What does it mean to compose while crip/mad/sick—especially when our embodied knowledges are deemed antithetical to (academic) life? \n\nAbout the panelists:\n\nWilliam Cheng is a writer\, pianist\, and gamer. He is a professor of music at Dartmouth College and a founding coeditor of the Music & Social Justice Series with the University of Michigan Press. He is the author of Sound Play: Video Games and the Musical Imagination (Oxford\, 2014)\, Just Vibrations: The Purpose of Sounding Good (Michigan\, 2016)\, and Loving Music Till It Hurts (Oxford\, 2019).

Despite the rapid progress\, modern robotic algorithms often require significant training data and do not generalize well to unseen scenarios. Symmetry\, or “immunity to a possible change\,” offers a promising pathway for designing efficient and robust algorithms suited to complex real-world environments.\n\nIn this dissertation\, we explore incorporating symmetric structures to construct efficient and generalizable perception algorithms. We first propose a proprioceptive-invariant state estimation framework that operates in real time across various robotic platforms. Next\, we present a learning-based proprioceptive contact estimator for legged robots\, enabling state estimation on diverse terrains without physical contact sensors. We then develop a Lie algebraic neural network for equivariant representation learning on Lie algebras\, which we apply to various tasks\, including dynamics modeling\, classification\, and point cloud registration. Finally\, we design convolutional neural networks equivariant to homography transformations\, enabling perspective-equivariant representation learning. In summary\, this dissertation highlights the advantages of using symmetry to address various robot perception challenges\, resulting in efficient and generalizable perception algorithms. \n\nZoom link: \nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/99714074023?pwd=avVJXcBUfrC1NuUDwdoaKRkWl0w08F.1 UID:129461-21862770@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129461 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:Ford Robotics Building - 2300 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241201T181133 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241203T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241203T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student CA Seminar - Free Resolutions and the Auslander-Buschbaum Formula DESCRIPTION:We discuss the Auslander-Buchsbaum formula\, which connects the shortest length of a projective resolution of a module over a noetherian local ring to the degree in which certain Ext modules vanish.

The acoustic angular momentum was first observed in vortex waves and was found to have many interesting physics including pseudospin based topological effects\, spin-momentum locking\, and trapping potential for contactless particle manipulations. In this talk\, Dr. Shi will focus on the discussion of the fundamentals and applications of the shear induced by the unique wave pattern of acoustic angular momentum in medical therapies. The induced shear stress drastically enhances fibrinolysis in blood clots that remarkably reduce the required treatment time with low risk of hemorrhage\, especially in treating large\, completely occluded\, acute clots. Such capability makes the vortex ultrasound based endovascular sonothrombolysis a life-saving tool for severe cerebral venous sinus thrombosis\, which has an increasing trend among young patients due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition\, the induced shear flow deforms and merges bubbles during cavitation in fluids\, which significantly enhances acoustic cavitation. In this case\, the histotrpsy driven by acoustic angular momentum has a significantly lower cavitation threshold with a much higher ablation power for the treatment of liver cancer\, which is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide.\n\nBio: Dr. Chengzhi Shi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan. Before joining the University of Michigan\, he was an Assistant Professor in the GWW School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech. Dr. Shi earned his Ph.D. degree from the University of California\, Berkeley in 2018 and his M.S. and B.S. degrees from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2013 and 2010. His research interests include physical acoustics\, wave propagation\, metamaterials\, ultrasound imaging\, and therapeutic ultrasound. He has published many highly cited papers in renowned journals including Science\, PNAS\, and Nature Communications. Dr. Shi has also won prestigious awards including the NSF CAREER and the ONR YIP awards.

This behavior extends to the discrete setting\, where the spectral properties of operators have important applications to statistical physics\, computer science\, and theoretical statistics.\n\nIn this talk\, I will provide an overview of recent results demonstrating this chaotic behavior\, with a focus on proving that for the adjacency operator of a random regular graph\, all eigenvalues exhibit optimally small fluctuations. Throughout the talk\, I will introduce key techniques used in these proofs and highlight the rich connections between continuous and discrete settings.

Milton Stewart School of Industrial & Systems Engineering\, Georgia Institute of Technology. DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nMotivated by data perturbation\, adversarial training has recently been proposed as a new way of parameter estimation in supervised learning. This talk will discuss the statistical properties of the adversarial training estimator from both asymptotic and non- asymptotic perspectives. Firstly\, the asymptotic distribution of the adversarial training estimator will be introduced\, based on which a new technique has been proposed to improve the performance of existing adversarial training. Secondly\, the non-asymptotic convergence rate of the adversarial training estimator will be discussed. The results show that the adversarial training estimator is minimax optimal under $\ell_\infty$- perturbations in high dimensional linear regression. My research aims to provide an understanding of emerging methods in machine learning and artificial intelligence\, particularly from their statistical performance perspective. I will discuss some potential future topics.\n\nhttps://sites.google.com/view/yilingxie/home UID:124599-21853251@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124599 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 411 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241204T110337 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241203T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241203T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Undergraduate Seminar: Elementary Computations in Algebraic Topology DESCRIPTION:We will compute the fundamental group of some basic topological spaces.

These questions can be answered by associating a tiling of R both with a height function defined on the lattice and with a perfect matching of its dual graph. Upon introducing a probability measure on these tilings\, one finds that random height functions converge to a deterministic limit shape as the tile size decreases. In this talk\, we will discuss how to compute this limit shape as the solution of a variational problem. We will also introduce the Kenyon-Okounkov conjecture on convergence of fluctuations of centered height functions to the Gaussian free field\, a random generalized function on a region equipped with a certain complex structure.

For the luminous indie folk duo of Joshua Lee Turner and Allison Young\, it’s a question not only of what should be relinquished\, but also what might be worth taking with you. “There’s goodness in every decade of\nmusic. And there’s goodness in every season of life\,” Josh shares. “For us\, it’s about finding what’s golden in the past and bringing that forward.”\n\nThe pair share an eclectic nostalgia for sounds of the past—Jazz and Classical\, Golden Age musicals\, big bands of the ‘40s\, singer-songwriters of the ‘60s\, dewy indie rock of the early 2010s—as well as a passion for instrumental music and covers. These points of connection began online\, culminated in an impromptu recording session in Nashville\, and compelled an unexpected path forward. \n\nThe duo’s first release together\, a cover of Willie Nelson’s “Crazy\,” gathered massive enthusiasm online as well as the fervent demand of one UK promoter that they tour overseas. Josh and Allison accepted the invitation and rushed to record an EP to have something—anything—to play for audiences\, audiences which sold out venues and applauded The (yet-to-be-named) Bygones with standing ovations before they even strummed a note. “It didn’t make any sense\,” Josh says. “We weren’t a band yet.” But to see The Bygones live is to comprehend the hype. Allison’s stylish\, luminescent presence and vocal finesse\, Josh’s astonishing technical aptitude\, and the palpable joy in their onstage dynamic create a live show experience that demands multiple encores. \n\nRather than a band asking the world to listen\, the world asked these two musicians to be a band. Their debut album ‘The Bygones’ was released April 4\, 2024 on Tonetree.\n\nhttps://thebygonesband.com/ UID:122587-21849417@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122587 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Concert,Music,Mutotix LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241215T120008 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241204T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241204T235959 SUMMARY:Meeting:Check Out the P4P Public Calendar Here DESCRIPTION:bit.ly/p4pumcalendar UID:127131-21858523@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/127131 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Online CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241204T120010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241204T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241204T235959 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Power Hungry: A Discussion about AI's Energy Usage and the Environment DESCRIPTION:Did you know behind every AI inquiry is an expansive digital network that requires water and energy to operate?

Lopez lost her sight at an early age and is mostly non-verbal. This exhibition of tactile assemblage works and gestural coiled pots were created by the artist through touch and texture\, colored by memory. The works are sensory\, physical\, immediate\, reaffirming\, and deeply expressive. Viewers to this exhibition are invited to touch the work. \n\nDuring her residency\, the artist and her support team\, which includes her mother and translator\, will engage directly with students in the exhibition space\, offering a transformative experience based on human expression and connection through art. Because Ericka feels most comfortable when she is working\, she plans to make artwork with students as part of the class engagements with the exhibition.\n\nAbout Ericka Lopez\nBorn 1987 in Mexico\, Ericka Lopez has been making art at Tierra del Sol Studios since 2019. Working across ceramic\, fiber\, and mixed media constructions\, Lopez’s practice is centralized around her exploration of touch. Lopez was born with limited vision and is now completely blind. Lopez trained in massage therapy and previously volunteered at a soup kitchen when an encounter with Tierra’s ceramics studio shifted her trajectory toward fine art. Her masterful command of clay hand-building techniques enables Lopez to create intricate\, dynamic\, and organically structured coil vessels. Lopez’s works are informed by her finite recollection of color\; she requests specific shades and combinations of glazes that generate spontaneous\, distinctive surfaces when fired. This intuitive approach continues in her fiber wall works and mixed media sculptures. Utilizing punch rug embroidery\, Lopez creates abstract fields of yarn and found objects\, often repeatedly punching through the same area to yield densely layered sections. Lopez has learned to identify the color of her materials via scent and feel\, a process that is difficult to put into words. Her mixed media sculptures are created almost entirely by touch\, consisting of threads\, buttons\, beads\, fabric scraps\, and found objects instinctively stitched together using simple sewing techniques. Lopez hopes her works can be experienced through an inquiry of touch.\n\nEricka Lopez has exhibited her artwork at Laband Gallery and Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles\, CA.

The imagined paired with the gut led to a collection of works that overload the senses\, and indulge in a decadence of material and ornamentation. These works conjure memories of the hospital stay\, the museum visit\, the family gathering\, and inexplicable bouts of nostalgia from a lineage that precedes us. We long\, we dream\, we ail\, we labor\, we try and fail to control\, we are overwhelmed\, and yet\, we find bliss and comfort in the middle of it all. We know what we feel and we remember it. As our BA Seniors bid farewell to Stamps\, we share this gift of our work\, tied lovingly with a bow.\n\nThe Bachelor of Arts (BA) Senior Studio (ARTDES 401) is offered for Stamps BA students in their final year of study. The BA Senior Studio Exhibition offers these students the opportunity to build on the particular characteristics of the BA degree\, and focus on creating and exhibiting a culminating\, self-directed project. Students work independently or collaboratively to define a project plan with goals\, benchmarks\, and a timeline. \n\nThe BA Senior Studio Exhibition is a new tradition for Stamps\, with the inaugural show taking place in Fall 2024.

First\, we present a theory to describe the recent realization of a heavy fermion state in stacked MoTe2/WSe2 bilayers that dope the Mott insulator to a filling of n=1+x. The spin polaron regime at low filling (x<<1) will be presented as well as at filling n=2 where we predict a topological Kondo insulator. Second\, we present a theory to describe the two recent experiments that observed superconductivity in twisted WSe2 at 3.65 and 5 degrees. The role of the twist angle\, electron correlations\, and competing instabilities on the phase diagram of twisted WSe2 will be discussed.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621459@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241204T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241204T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

These town halls build on an earlier phase of community engagement\, where we gathered input on high-level Scope 3 priorities\, ideas\, and questions. \n\nScope 3 emissions are indirect greenhouse gas emissions created by activities like commuting\, travel\, purchasing\, and waste disposal. Peer research shows that Scope 3 emissions can comprise roughly half of a university’s total emissions\, so there is a growing impetus to address them.\n\nThe programming is equivalent at the in-person and virtual town halls\, so please select the one that works best for you. A light lunch will be provided at the in-person event. Join us to help shape the future of sustainability on campus!\n\nPrefer to offer feedback on your own time?

Recent proposals suggest that a region called an \"island\" contributes to the entanglement entropy of black hole radiation. Lower-dimensional models demonstrate that the inclusion of this region reproduces the so-called Page curve for the entropy of radiation. However\, in higher dimensions\, all models attempting to reproduce these results include a massive graviton. In this talk\, I will discuss these higher-dimensional models\, presenting the associated issues and how they suggest the use of tools from holography to construct swampland criteria for braneworlds as effective field theories.

Every first Saturday of the month\, male followers gather in public squares across Croatia to pray for women’s “chastity” and for men’s “masculine authority\;” they kneel even though their movement is not directly related to the Catholic Church nor religion. There is evidence that they are funded by \"Ordo luris\,\" an ultra-conservative organization that successfully campaigned in 2021 to deny Polish women abortion rights.\n\nIn an act of resistance\, Lekić-Fridrih stands in front of this crowd of men while reading a statement about gender-based violence\, inequality\, and the legislative and daily violations of human rights against women in Croatia.\n \n This lecture will feature the new book about Arijana Lekić- Fridrih's work\, authored by Rebekah Modrak (Disobedience Press\, 2024)\, which offers Lekić- Fridrih's video interviews and public performances as a guide for activism and collective action against retrograde restrictions on the freedom of women. Lekic-Fridrih's presentation via Zoom will be followed by Professor Modrak and Professor Brian Willems leading a discussion in 555 Weiser Hall.\n \n Arijana Lekić-Fridrih was born in Zagreb\, where she currently lives and works. She has a degree in Film and Video from the Fine Arts Academy in Split. She has worked as a screenwriter for a documentary series and is director of two short documentary films\, \"Online\" and \"The Parade\,\" but her work is currently focused on video and performance art. She regularly exhibits her work in Croatia and abroad.\n \n Rebekah Modrak is an artist and writer whose practice is at the intersections of art\, activism\, and creative resistance to consumer culture. Her web-based artworks\, such as Re Made Co. (remadeco.org) and RETHINK SHINOLA (rethinkshinola.com) critique brand misrepresentation. Recently\, she co-edited \"Trouble in Censorville: The Far Right’s Assault on Public Education – and the Teachers Who are Fighting Back\" (Disobedience Press\, 2024)\, a collection of testimonies by 14 educators who were fired or smeared for teaching about racial justice or providing books about/by LGBTQ+ people. She is co-editor of \"Radical Humility: Essays on Ordinary Acts\" (Belt\, 2021) in which twenty writers from philosophy\, psychology\, consumer culture\, and other fields consider humility as a state of being. She is professor of art\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, University of Michigan.\n\nBrian Willems is associate professor of literature at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences\, University of Split\, Croatia\, where he is also director of the Studia Mediterranea center. His most recent academic book is *Sham Ruins: A User's Guide* (2022)\, and he is co-editor\, along with Slavoj Žižek and Nicol Barria-Asenjo\, of *Global Manifestos for the 21st Century* (2024).\n \nPhoto: Arijana Lekić-Fridrih's \"Silent Mass\" performance in Split\, photo by Žaklina Antonijević.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

An interdisciplinary team of researchers has repurposed two cohort studies from the 1970s (National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class (NLS-72)) and 1980s (High School and Beyond (HSB)) to study aging and later life well-being. These longitudinal studies provide an excellent opportunity for STEM education researchers to learn about the long-term impact of a wealth of educational experiences. This talk will provide information about the 2021 HSB and 2025 NLS-72 follow-ups\, featuring measures of cognitive functioning\, health\, and socioeconomic outcomes\, along with surveys\, cognitive assessments\, health visits\, biomarkers\, and administrative records. It will also explain how to gain access to the data. These efforts are part of the Education Studies for Healthy Aging Research (EdSHARe) project. More information is available at https://edshareproject.org/.\n\nPresenter\nJohn Robert (“Rob”) Warren\, a sociologist and demographer\, is a Professor of Sociology and Director of the Institute for Social Research and Data Innovation at the University of Minnesota. Recently inducted into the National Academy of Education\, his research investigates how inequalities in education\, health\, and cognitive outcomes emerge over the life course. Warren co-leads midlife follow-up surveys for the HSB and NLS72 cohorts\, focusing on social\, economic\, and biological factors affecting later-life health and cognition.\n\nThis webinar is free and open to the public.\nThis webinar will be recorded and the recording will be sent to all registrants.\nSponsored by the PEERS Data Hub: www.PeersDataHub.net UID:129096-21862153@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129096 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Data,Data Analysis,Data Curation,Data Management,Data Science,Education,Free,Public Health,Social Sciences,Survey Research,Webinar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250205T180241 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241204T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241204T130000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Post-Election Insights for LGBTQIA2S+ Communities DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual lunch and learn with Angie Martell\, a licensed Michigan attorney and founder of Iglesia Martell Law Firm\, PLLC.

These mergers significantly influence the mass distribution of supermassive black holes across the cosmos. However\, visual evidence of such events is scarce due to uncertainties about the electromagnetic emissions accompanying gravitational waves.\n\nTo address this\, new General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) simulations are underway. These simulations provide insights into the environments of supermassive black hole binaries as they merge. Using advanced computational techniques to model accretion dynamics and magnetized gas flow around spinning black holes\, these simulations reveal gas flows near binary systems.\n\nThe simulations offer crucial data for predicting the electromagnetic and gravitational wave signatures of black hole binaries\, informing future observation strategies with missions like LISA\, PTA\, and other upcoming facilities. Efforts continue to refine computational tools to enhance our understanding of supermassive black hole interactions in binary systems.

This growth is expected to continue for at least the next several years enabling existing services to be enhanced and new use cases to emerge ranging from telepresence to connected cities and factories. A key ingredient to support this growth is access to wireless spectrum\, which is a limited resource that is also used by other important applications such as radio astronomy\, earth sensing satellites\, and military and civilian radar.\n\nThe White House has recently published a new national spectrum strategy that aims to “modernize spectrum policy” and make more efficient use of this resource. This talk will discuss some aspects of this strategy and some of our current research being done in this area.\n\nBio: \nRandall Berry joined Northwestern University in 2000\, where he is currently the Chair and John A.

These measurements are crucial for understanding edge-localized mode plasma instabilities in tokamaks\, unraveling surface streamers and ionization wave dynamics\, analyzing surface charging in low-temperature plasmas\, gaining insights into magnetic reconnection events\, and validating fundamental sheath theories under different collisionality regimes. In this talk\, I will present a novel laser-based approach for electric field measurements that offers exceptional sensitivity across multiple orders of magnitude and is suitable for both high and low pressure plasmas. Additionally\, I will demonstrate how this setup can simultaneously perform gas density measurements\, providing reduced electric field estimates. We anticipate that this newly developed approach will be applicable to a wide variety of plasma physics sub-fields\, making electric field measurements more accessible and straightforward.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nMarien Simeni is an Assistant Professor at the Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of Minnesota (UMN)\, where he started in April 2022. His research group focuses on the development of ultrafast laser diagnostics to unravel kinetic mechanisms and energy transfers in non-equilibrium and laser-produced plasmas as well as in reactive flows. Marien received his B.S. in physics from Ecole Normale Superieure Cachan (France) in 2009\, his M.S. in aerospace engineering from Ecole Centrale Paris (France) in 2011 and his Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from the same institution in 2015. He subsequently held a postdoctoral position at the Ohio State University (2015-2018)\, a research associate position at UMN (2018-2020) and an associate research physicist position at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (2020-2022).\n\nThe seminar will be conducted both in person and on Zoom.

They are also hotspots of respiration\, which produces greenhouse gases that can counteract the long-term carbon storage. However\, there is a paucity of spatial and temporal measurements of greenhouse gas fluxes in salt marsh ecosystems. This lack of data impairs our ability to manage salt marsh ecosystems effectively for carbon storage. Data are limited by various factors\, including logistical and financial constraints of measuring greenhouse gases. In this webinar\, we will describe our year-long collaborative project to design low-cost\, ultra-portable instruments for measuring greenhouse gas fluxes in salt marshes. A team from Boston University and the five New England NERRs worked together to test sensors that measure CO2\, temperature\, and humidity in salt marsh environments. The team conducted five field trips throughout the year\, incorporating iterative feedback on instrument design\, ease of deployment\, and alignment with existing monitoring efforts at the NERRs. This webinar will cover the process of designing and testing these instruments\, our major findings\, as well as key applications of the technology for salt marsh restoration and research.

These abelian varieties are said to be of Weil type and these Hodge classes are known as Weil classes. We prove that the Weil classes are algebraic for all abelian sixfold of Weil type of discriminant -1\, for all imaginary quadratic number fields. The algebraicity of the Weil classes follows for all abelian fourfolds of Weil type (for all discriminants and all imaginary quadratic number fields)\, by a degeneration argument of C. Schoen. The main two ingredients of our proof are:\n\n1) A natural equivalence\, due to Orlov\, between the cartesian square XxX of an abelian n-fold X and XxPic^0(X)\, inducing an isomorphism of cohomologies equivariant with respect to the natural action of the derived monodromy group Spin(2n\,2n) of X. Orlov's equivalence maps the tensor product of two suitably chosen (secant) sheaves on X to an object E on XxPic^0(X) with a characteristic class invariant under the Mumford-Tate group of abelian varieties of Weil type.\n\n2) When X is the Jacobian of a genus 3 curve\, we prove that the object E on XxPic^0(X) is semi-regular and use the Buchweitz-Flenner semi-regularity theorem in order to deform it to deformation equivalent abelian sixfolds of Weil type.

DESCRIPTION:Bio: \nDr. Jan Janssen is the group leader for materials informatics at the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials in Düsseldorf\, Germany. Previously\, he was a Director’s Postdoctoral Fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory\, where he designed materials for fusion reactors as part of the Exascale Computing Project. In addition\, he leads the development of the open-source pyiron software package\, is a maintainer of over 900 open-source software packages for the conda-forge community and an active contributor to open-source projects on Github.\n\nAbstract: \nDesigning materials for a sustainable future requires rethinking traditional materials design\, which is centered on optimizing and fine-tuning already known alloying compositions. In a mathematical sense this can be identified as a local or global optimization in the multi-dimensional alloy phase space. To sample the whole periodic table\, already a three-component alloy with 20 temperature steps and 10 concentration steps requires a million experiments\, making it prohibitive for purely experimental approaches. \nTo address this challenge\, simulation approaches and\, more recently\, machine learning models are applied to screen the periodic table. The pyiron workflow framework developed at the Max-Planck-Institute for sustainable materials predicts new materials using ab-intio thermodynamics. Starting from the interaction of electrons\, it predicts macroscopic material properties like heat capacity\, thermal expansion\, and phase stability. Recently\, the pyiron workflow framework was extended with a large language model (LLM) interface named LangSim. \nThis raises the question: Can a LLM replace a scientist? Or how does the thought process of a scientist differ from the statistical approach of the LLM? Can the LLM make us better scientists? We benchmark the capabilities of current LLMs to design new materials using atomistic simulation. The presentation introduces ab-initio thermodynamics\, covers the importance of simulation workflows to efficiently predict sustainable materials and highlights how LLMs accelerate their discovery.

A widely studied model is the Erdős-Rényi graph\, where edges are included independently with a fixed probability. In this talk\, we show that for Erdős-Rényi graphs with constant expected degree\, the most positive and most negative eigenvalues are completely localized\, in that eigenvector entries decay away from individual\, high degree vertices\, and eigenvalues are almost completely determined by the geometry surrounding these high degree vertices. This resolves a question of Alice Guionnet.\n\nThis talk is based on joint work with Ella Hiesmayer.

Soon after\, Choi-Goldman identified the SL(3\,R)-Hitchin component with the space of convex projective structures on S. In 2008\, Guichard-Wienhard identified the PSL(4\,R)-Hitchin component with foliated projective structures on the unit tangent bundle T^1S. The case d \ge 5 remains open\, and compels one to move beyond projective geometry to flag geometry. In joint work with Alex Nolte\, we obtain a new description of the SL(3\,R)-Hitchin component in terms of concave foliated flag structures on T^1S.

Based on the approach introduced in Cvitanić-Possamai-Touzi\, we reduce the non-zero sum Stackelberg game between the principal and agent to a standard stochastic optimal control problem. We apply our result to a benchmark model for which we investigate how different inputs (payment frequencies\, payment distribution\, discount factors\, agent's reservation utility\, renegotiation) affect the principal's value. This is a joint work with Erhan Bayraktar\, Ibrahim Ekren\, and Liwei Huang.

Lopez lost her sight at an early age and is mostly non-verbal. This exhibition of tactile assemblage works and gestural coiled pots were created by the artist through touch and texture\, colored by memory. The works are sensory\, physical\, immediate\, reaffirming\, and deeply expressive. Viewers to this exhibition are invited to touch the work. \n\nDuring her residency\, the artist and her support team\, which includes her mother and translator\, will engage directly with students in the exhibition space\, offering a transformative experience based on human expression and connection through art. Because Ericka feels most comfortable when she is working\, she plans to make artwork with students as part of the class engagements with the exhibition.\n\nAbout Ericka Lopez\nBorn 1987 in Mexico\, Ericka Lopez has been making art at Tierra del Sol Studios since 2019. Working across ceramic\, fiber\, and mixed media constructions\, Lopez’s practice is centralized around her exploration of touch. Lopez was born with limited vision and is now completely blind. Lopez trained in massage therapy and previously volunteered at a soup kitchen when an encounter with Tierra’s ceramics studio shifted her trajectory toward fine art. Her masterful command of clay hand-building techniques enables Lopez to create intricate\, dynamic\, and organically structured coil vessels. Lopez’s works are informed by her finite recollection of color\; she requests specific shades and combinations of glazes that generate spontaneous\, distinctive surfaces when fired. This intuitive approach continues in her fiber wall works and mixed media sculptures. Utilizing punch rug embroidery\, Lopez creates abstract fields of yarn and found objects\, often repeatedly punching through the same area to yield densely layered sections. Lopez has learned to identify the color of her materials via scent and feel\, a process that is difficult to put into words. Her mixed media sculptures are created almost entirely by touch\, consisting of threads\, buttons\, beads\, fabric scraps\, and found objects instinctively stitched together using simple sewing techniques. Lopez hopes her works can be experienced through an inquiry of touch.\n\nEricka Lopez has exhibited her artwork at Laband Gallery and Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles\, CA. Lopez’s debut solo exhibition\, “Continuous Touch\,” was curated by jill moniz for Tierra del Sol Gallery in the Spring of 2023. She has had works acquired by notable private collections such as that of Beth DeWoody and by the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at UC Long Beach.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621460@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241107T172312 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241205T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241205T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Wonders of Water Community Art Exhibit DESCRIPTION:Fri\, Nov 29 2024 - Sun\, Jan 26 2025\, All day\nDive into the beauty and significance of North America's rivers with The Wonders of Water\, a community art exhibit that pays homage to the vital roles rivers play in our environment and society.

The imagined paired with the gut led to a collection of works that overload the senses\, and indulge in a decadence of material and ornamentation. These works conjure memories of the hospital stay\, the museum visit\, the family gathering\, and inexplicable bouts of nostalgia from a lineage that precedes us. We long\, we dream\, we ail\, we labor\, we try and fail to control\, we are overwhelmed\, and yet\, we find bliss and comfort in the middle of it all. We know what we feel and we remember it.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Having strongly correlated systems as the main target\, I would like to discuss what new classical computing techniques need to be developed to help quantum computing algorithms to solve the electronic structure problem. Encoding the electronic Hamiltonian in a second quantized form on a quantum computer is a complex task\, with efficiency challenges that can significantly impact the overall performance of quantum solutions. To address these challenges\, we propose partitioning the Hamiltonian into a sum of fragments that can be diagonalized through rotations derived from small Lie groups or the Clifford group. These partitions simplify algebraic manipulations critical for circuit compilation and quantum measurement processes. I will demonstrate how this Hamiltonian partitioning strategy enhances the efficiency of key quantum chemistry algorithms\, including the Variational Quantum Eigensolver and Quantum Phase Estimation.\n\nBio:\nArtur Izmaylov is a Professor at the University of Toronto\, with appointments in the Departments of Chemistry and Physical and Environmental Sciences. He specializes in theoretical and computational chemistry\, focusing on the development of innovative quantum chemistry methods. His research covers quantum dynamics\, electronic structure theory\, and leveraging quantum computing to tackle challenging quantum many-body problems. These problems include determining electronic states and properties of strongly correlated molecules and solids\, modeling non-adiabatic molecular dynamics\, and predicting non-equilibrium stationary states of open quantum systems. Prof. Izmaylov has made significant contributions to efficient state preparation techniques\, such as Qubit Coupled Cluster theory\, and advanced quantum measurement strategies. His work has also provided critical insights into the role of geometric phases in non-adiabatic dynamics. These achievements received prestigious awards\, including the Sloan Fellowship (2015)\, Ontario Early Researcher Award (Canada\, 2017)\, Tom Ziegler Award (Canadian Society for Chemistry\, 2019)\, Journal of Physical Chemistry Lectureship Award (ACS\, 2019)\, and the Google Quantum Research Award (2019). His group currently focuses on developing error-corrected quantum algorithms and exploring quantum-inspired techniques for classical computation.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).
