This webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, the joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/AZbVA\n \n *Fantasies of Ito Michio* narrates the transnational career of Japanese modern dancer Ito Michio as a story of fantasy-making\, a strategy by which Ito made himself into an international success and maintained a sense of self-continuity across experiences of war\, racialization\, and imperialism. This talk provides an overview of the book\, and offers a discussion of what research might look like when a scholar is faced not with archival paucity or erasure\, but rather\, an abundance—of fiction\, if not fact.\n \n Tara Rodman is an assistant professor in the Drama department at UC Irvine. A recipient of fellowships from the NEH-JUSFC\, the Fulbright\, and the Nippon Foundation\, her research has been published in *Theatre Journal\, Theatre Survey\, Theatre Research International\, The Routledge Companion to Butoh Performance* (*eds.* Bruce Baird and Rosemary Candelario)\, and *Corporeal Politics: Dancing East Asia* (University of Michigan Press\; eds. Katherine Mezur and Emily Wilcox). Her book\, *Fantasies of Ito Michio* (University of Michigan Press\, 2024)\, works at the intersection of dance and performance studies\, and of Japanese and Asian American studies\, to examine the career of the modern dancer and choreographer Ito Michio.\n \nThis event is cosponsored by the U-M Department of Dance.\n\nThis lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at umcjs@umich.edu.

Research on younger couples has revealed that couples who have concordant drinking behaviors (e.g.\, both drink alcohol) tend to have better quality marriages and are less likely to divorce compared to couples who have discordant drinking behaviors. It is unclear whether these same patterns exist among older couples and whether they have implications for physical health as they grow older together. This talk will discuss findings from our NIAAA-funded project that examined alcohol use and health among couples in the Health and Retirement Study.

For the SPR biosensors\, I will highlight our recent effort in the development of immunoassays for the detection of extracellular vesicles (EVs) via universal tetraspnins by considering the factors like antibody clonality (monoclonal vs. polyclonal)\, antibody surface coverage\, and tetraspanin-enriched microdomains as well as discuss the limit of detection and antibody-EV binding kinetics. I will showcase our effort on the development of dually functional interdigitated electrodes that can not only sustain SPR mode but also increase bacterial mass transport through external application of dielectrophoresis for the detection of low concentration bacteria. For SERS biosensors\, since electromagnetic enhancement dominates the SERS effect due to extremely strong local electric fields (i.e.\, hot spots) induced by localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)\, the development of plasmonic nanostructures as SERS-active substrates is one of the frontiers in this field. I will first talk about our effort on the development of SERS-active plasmonic nanostructures\, including quasi-3-dimension plasmonic nanostructure arrays (Q3D-PNAs) and the nanostructures enabling the extension of electric field\, for sensitive detection of small and large analytes. As detection using SERS is typically carried out on bare metal surfaces\, because of the near field effect\, non-specific adsorption frequently occurs and significantly reduces detection performance. In this regard\, I will talk about our effort on the development of stealth surface modification and hierarchical zwitterionic modification for SERS substrates to enable the sensitive and specific detection in protein solution and real-time drug monitoring from blood plasma\, respectively. \n\nSpeaker Bio:\nQiuming Yu received her B.S. and M.S. in Chemistry from Nanjing University\, China in 1985 and 1989\, respectively\, and her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Cornell University in 1995. She was a postdoctoral fellow in the Micro-devices Laboratory at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory\, California Institute of Technology\, from 1995-1996. After spending three years as a research assistant professor in Chemical Engineering at Kansas State University\, she moved to the University of Washington and was a full professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering. She joined the Robert Frederick Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Cornell University in July 2020 as a professor.

In such negotiations\, some students speak up more than others\, and some are listened to more than others. These patterns of power and agency\, many of which happen in small groups and are non-obvious to instructors\, have important implications for student experiences in our courses and for overall inclusion and belongingness. In this talk\, I will present research (forthcoming in Journal of Applied Psychology) from first year courses at UM to show both predictors to speaking up as well as downstream effects of having one's ideas listened to. I will also describe ongoing efforts to enable students and instructors to recognize inequitable patterns of speech and influence (one\, a 50-min classroom activity easily adapted for other contexts\; the other\, a grant-funded study of \"equity reports\" highlighting trends for faculty). Finally\, I will discuss the opportunities and challenges of working as a teaching faculty member\, researching student experiences in my own classrooms.

We will consider the space of degree d holomorphic maps from C to X. When X is a projective space\, Segal discovered a remarkable phenomenon: as the degree increases\, the homology of the space of holomorphic maps approximates the homology of the space of all continuous maps. Ellenberg-Venkatesh observed that this phenomenon is related to Manin's conjectures about rational points on Fano varieties\, suggesting it holds more generally. I will talk about joint work with Ronno Das considering the case where X is a blowup of a projective space at finitely many points (including the case of del Pezzo surfaces).

Injuries to non-compressible intracavity regions\, such as the chest and abdomen\, are a major clinical challenge due to a lack of appropriate interventions\, and represent 30-40% of early fatalities. To address this problem\, endovascular hemorrhage control (EHC) devices and minimally invasive techniques such as Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) have been increasingly adopted. REBOA involves inflation of a balloon catheter in the aorta\, which restricts blood flow distal to the occlusion and consequently minimizes bleeding. While REBOA is effective at restoring proximal perfusion\, the reductions in distal blood flow can result in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injuries increasing the risk of subsequent renal failure. There is a pressing need to identify optimal occlusion size and duration of REBOA deployment to mitigate this risk. To date\, large animal preclinical models have been predominantly used to answer these questions\, but they are inherently expensive. Arguably\, the lack of alternative tools to test EHC devices has hindered the growth and pace of innovation for hemorrhage control. Development of a robust in silico model for hemorrhage would significantly improve preclinical testing and optimization of EHC devices.\n\nTo address this gap\, we proposed to develop and validate a novel multi-scale computational model that will allow us to simulate the in vivo physiologic response to hemorrhagic shock. Using a 3D-0D closed loop approach of the cardiovascular system (where total blood volume is conserved\, as the sum of arterial and venous returns)\, we will be able to simulate the critical feedback loops and biologic response functions to render a physiologically relevant model. In this talk\, I will share our ongoing work that utilizes large animal experiments and CFD modeling to characterize the acute and transient hemodynamic changes during hemorrhagic shock\, aortic occlusion (via REBOA)\, and resuscitation. I will discuss some experimental challenges and highlight areas where both engineers and physicians can work together to improve our delivery of emergency and trauma care.\n\nBio:\nDr. Elaheh (Ellie) Rahbar received her B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from Michigan State University in 2006 and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering\, under the tutelage of Professor James E. Moore\, Jr.\, at Texas A&M University in 2011. During her doctoral studies\, Dr. Rahbar was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow (NSF-GRFP) and performed research in the area of lymphatic fluid mechanics. In fact she developed the first 3D CFD models for lymph flow and validated them with in situ animal data. She did her postdoctoral training at the Center for Translational Injury Research (CeTIR) at the University of Texas Medical School in Houston under the mentorship of Drs. John Holcomb and Charles Wade. During her postdoctoral training\, she was an integral member of the PROMMTT and PROPPR multi-site clinical trials investigating optimal blood transfusion delivery to critically injured patients. In Jan. 2015\, she became an Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering at Wake Forest University\, part of the joint Virginia Tech – Wake Forest University School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences graduate program where she established her independent lab in translational trauma research. Her research lab aims to engineer personalized solutions for the treatment and management of hemorrhagic shock\, traumatic brain injury\, and other critical injured conditions. She takes a holistic approach at studying the acute physiologic response to traumatic injuries and hemorrhage by integrating hemodynamic and biomarker changes over time. Over the past decade\, Dr. Rahbar has had success in leading several research and training programs supported extramurally by NIH\, NSF and DOD and has mentored over 70 trainees. In Jan. 2024\, Dr. Rahbar returned to Texas A&M as a tenured Associate Professor in the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Veterinary Physiology & Pharmacology at Texas A&M University with a vision to expand translational preclinical studies for both veterinary and human health.\n\nZoom:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/94337625486 UID:129109-21862159@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129109 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,Bioninterfaces,Biosciences,Biotechnology,bme,engineer,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,seminar LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL) - 1130 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241127T121752 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241205T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241205T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Processing Circle DESCRIPTION:This processing circle is an opportunity for queer and/or trans students to come together to process recent events as we recognize that LGBTQIA2S+ students have had a unique experience.

Where are we going?\"\n\nBrown dwarf characterization can help inform exoplanet studies\, which provides key insight into gas-giant formation and evolution. The chemical abundances of atomic and molecular species of host stars can help to provide insight into planetary formation processes\, by helping us to understand the initial composition of protoplanetary disks. Stellar abundance measurements combined with atmospheric retrievals are a powerful combination to understand the chemical and physical processes in atmospheres of brown dwarfs to probe formation pathways. In this talk\, I will present results from an atmospheric retrieval study of two dusty planetary-mass objects using the Brewster retrieval framework. I will discuss retrieval approaches and lessons learned from retrievals in the complex regime of young cloudy brown dwarfs. Lastly\, I will present a small study on the characterization and abundance determination for FGK stars hosting benchmark brown dwarf companions using PEPSI.

In this talk\, I will discuss two models of cooperative behavior coupled with dynamics of information spread. In the first model\, we will consider cooperation driven by the spread of social reputations. Using methods from evolutionary game theory and dynamical systems\, we develop a mathematical model of cooperation that integrates a mechanistic description of how reputations spread through peer-to-peer gossip. We show that sufficiently long periods of gossip can stabilize cooperation by facilitating consensus about reputations. In the second model\, we will examine the dynamics of prosociality under political polarization. We develop a stochastic model of game-theoretic opinion dynamics in a multi-dimensional space of political interests. We show that while increasing the diversity of interests can improve both cooperation and social cohesion\, strong partisan bias reduces the effective dimensionality of the opinion space via self-sorting along party lines\, yielding greater in-group cooperation at the cost of increasing polarization. Taken together\, these studies contribute to our understanding of when and how communication and opinion contagion facilitate cooperation.

Over recent evolutionary history\, monarchs have expanded their geographic range and can now be found in locations from Australia to Puerto Rico to Morocco. In contrast to their migratory ancestors\, nearly all recently-established monarch populations have ceased seasonal migration and instead breed year-round on a restricted assemblage of milkweeds\, some of which are evolutionarily novel host plants. In this seminar\, I will highlight my research into the history of the monarch’s global range expansion\, the causes and consequences of migration loss\, and population-level differences in physiology associated with divergent host plant use. I will also discuss ongoing research that uses chemical fingerprinting methods to understand patterns of host plant use in monarch butterflies from western North America.

Modern physics views the universe as more full than empty. Over the past century\, this unfamiliar idea has emerged from a surprising partnership of exotic concepts: quantum physics and Einstein's relativity. In this talk I'll illustrate how this partnership provides the foundation for every aspect of human experience\, including the existence of subatomic particles (and the effect of the so-called \"Higgs field\")\, the peaceful nature of our journey through the cosmos\, and the solidity of the ground beneath our feet.

We explore this question using online and field experiments in the context of T ̈urkiye’s May 2023 presidential and parliamentary elections. We confirm that voters\, especially those supporting the incumbent authoritarian government systematically underestimate the extent to which democracy and media freedom have been eroded in T ̈urkiye and their usefulness in dealing with natural disasters and corruption (two salient issues in T ̈urkiye). We find that providing (accurate) information about the state and implications of democracy and media freedom have significant effects on beliefs and increase the likelihood of voting for the opposition by about 3.7 percentage points (6.2 percent) in the online experiment. In the field experiment\, we estimate similarly-sized impacts on the ballot-box level vote share—with the information treatment leading to a 2.4 percentage point (4.4 percent) increase in the opposition’s vote share. Interestingly\, both in the field and online\, the results are driven not by further mobilizing opposition supporters\, but by influencing those likely to vote for the governing coalition and those holding more misperceived beliefs about democracy and media freedom in T ̈urkiye. The evidence suggests that at least part of the support for authoritarian regimes may be coming from misperceptions about their institutions and policies\, and may be more malleable than typically presumed.

The classical McKay correspondence gives a 1-1 correspondence between nontrivial irreducible representations of $G$\, nontrivial maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules of $\mathbb{C}[x\,y]^G$\, and irreducible components of the exceptional divisor of the minimal resolution of singularities $\pi\colon Y\to \bC^2/G$. There is also a derived version of this correspondence which says that $D^b_G(\mathbb{C}[x\,y])\simeq D^b(Y)$. If $G$ a finite subgroup of $GL_2(\mathbb{C})$ but not $SL_2(\mathbb{C}$ and contains no reflections\, analogous versions of these correspondences are known. In this talk\, I will discuss results on the derived version of this correspondence for some finite subgroups of $GL_2(\mathbb{C})$ that are generated by reflections and discuss connections to work on the algebraic version of the correspondence in this setting due to Buchweitz-Faber-Ingalls. This is joint work with Anirban Bhaduri\, Yael Davidov\, Eleonore Faber\, Katrina Honigs\, Eric Overton-Walker\, and Dylan Spence.

He is the son of the late British character actor\, screenwriter\, and director Lionel Jeffries\, who is famous for starring in Camelot and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.\n\nJeffries is best known for his onstage persona of Miss Hope Springs\, a blonde ex-Vegas showgirl alter-ego who plays the piano and sings cabaret songs. Jeffries plays Springs as a tragicomic “recovering showgirl” looking back on her life and career. The character is inspired partly by memories of fading Hollywood icons visiting his childhood home\, as well as memories of old black-and-white films he and his father watched together.\n\nJeffries won Best Cabaret Brighton Fringe in 2011 and was invited to open the new cabaret room The Crazy Coqs in London\, whereMiss Hope Springs Sunday Soirées became an institution. Jeffries went on to be resident at The Matcham Room in the Hippodrome Casino (better known as The Talk of the Town where Judy Garland once played)\, and headlined at the Rah Rah Room in the old Pigalle Nightclub. \n\nIn 2016\, Jeffries toured the United States with Miss Hope Springs\, performing shows in New York\, Los Angeles\, San Diego\, San Francisco and New Hope\, Pennsylvania\, with an appearance at Lincoln Centre. In 2019\, Jeffries won Broadway World Awards “Best Cabaret” at Edinburgh Fringe Festival for his show It’s Miss Hope Springs. In 2021\, his solo recorded concert at Wigmore Hall for the iconic Pride 2021 celebration was praised by NYC Bistro Awards. In 2022\, Miss Hope Springs celebrated 10 years of residency at Crazy Coqs with a sold out rave review week of shows\, with the residency continuing into 2023.\n\nWith support from the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.

DESCRIPTION:Ketamine is an anesthetic agent with powerful antidepressant properties. Over the last several decades\, studies have shown the potential for ketamine as a therapeutic option for treatment-resistant depression. Ketamine is a safe option to provide relief from severe and persistent symptoms of depression and suicidal thinking\, and can potentially provide relief of symptoms within hours to days after a single infusion. Ketamine also exists as a nasal spray version.\n\nWhat makes ketamine different from other medications?\n\nKetamine can provide rapid relief for symptoms of depression and suicidal thoughts. Traditionally\, medications could take weeks before patients begin to experience relief of symptoms. With ketamine\, patients often experience relief of symptoms within hours.\n\nHowever\, ketamine infusion therapy and nasal spray is not right for everyone\, and there are risks to ordering ketamine in other delivery forms from online sources offering telehealth-only care. This session will discuss these issues too. \n\nThis webinar is free and open to the public. Register for the link to join.

However\, as illuminated by interviews in The Artist Pay Project\, artists across the U.S. regularly struggle to make ends meet. The arts ecosystem can only thrive with the combined efforts of all\, including working artists\, consumers\, policy makers\, attorneys\, business leaders\, administrators\, journalists\, advocates\, etc. Everyone is participating in this system. Join a panel of individuals with diverse professions to explore perspectives on the business of creativity and learn how each of us can contribute to better financial wellness for artists. Art supplies and snacks will be provided!\n\nThis discussion is a free\, public event presented in conjunction with Making it: $napshots from the Artist Pay Project by Makeda Easter\, an exhibition based on an anonymous journalistic series that examines how artists survive and thrive through anonymous money diaries.

The concert features choreography and performance by graduating seniors Gabriella Boutiette\, Rachel Dunklee\, Sarah Gorman\, Katherine Mitchell\, and Abigail Widlak.\n\nGabriella Boutiette’s group work\, *Where do you sail when the sun surrenders?*\, is about the individual journey of finding the power of you. Although everyone’s journey in finding themselves\, their purpose\, and what they think the value they bring to the world manifests differently\, it is not as rare an experience as one might think. One’s power can come from within and also from finding those people who share the same drive or passion for something. When the world goes quiet\, who are the people you choose to surround yourself with? Who are you\, and what is your power? Boutiette’s solo\, Énoument\, investigates the bittersweet feeling of finally reaching the answers you’ve sought\, while grappling with the sorrow that you are unable to enlighten your past self.\n\nRachel Dunklee’s group\, *C’EST COMME ÇA\, C’EST COMME ÇA*\, follows a group of people after a long week of working a corporate job winding down at a back-door poker game. Playing the game\, they become less and less interested in the rivalry and the outcome and band together to throw the game away. Rachel’s solo work\, Laugh Until The Sun Goes\, is based on reflecting upon a past relationship. While the rain can be intense\, it is also very meditative and symbolic of washing yourself clean of the past. The solo acts as the last look at the relationship before letting it go.\n\nSarah Gorman’s group piece\, *Weaving Hearts*\, focuses on the complex ways in which people are perceived and act differently in every interaction. The dance will explore the complexities and roles of relationships and their function in our everyday lives: lighthearted\, carefree\, and heartbreaking. Gorman’s piece will celebrate girlhood and friendship. Creating a quilt of vignettes to illuminate the colorful fabric of the human experience. Gorman’s solo Emendemus in Melius will illuminate overcoming challenges in life and how beautiful it is for one to persevere. The piece navigates the challenges of self-doubt\, capturing moments of vulnerability that ultimately transform into strength. The solo will dive into the feeling of being held back\, but wanting to\, and eventually\, being set free.\n\nKatherine Mitchell’s group work\, *Pink Rubber Handlebars*\, explores a complex nostalgic state through relationships and interconnectedness\, highlighting the thrilling freedom of youth. Incorporating film elements\, the dancers evoke the essence of girlhood and growing up\, capturing the bittersweet blend of longing and comfort that nostalgia brings. Mitchell’s solo In a Passing Moment draws from the quiet beauty of empathy and the impact of shared human experience. Rooted in personal memories and fleeting encounters\, it reflects a profound sense of interconnectedness\, embracing the unknowns we each carry. \n\n\nAbby Widlak’s group work\, *Was*\, explores the idea of love and loss\, how grief can impact not only a person's day-to-day life\, but worldview as well. With an original score by Ryan Ardelt the dancers take a journey between the five stages of grief on the non-linear road to acceptance. Widlak’s solo\, Dear Abigail\, addresses what it is like to never be yourself with any specific person. She adventures through the idea of what it means to wear different masks with different people. This work is coupled with an original score by Jason Zhang\, a senior music composition and computer science major at U-M.

With a string of critically acclaimed studio albums – “Stark\, literate songs that are as wide open as the landscape of his native Midwest” (The New Yorker)\, “Beat-up troubadour folk whittled to dolorous perfection” (Uncut)\, “Songwriting Brilliance\,” (Irish Times) – he’s built a brick-and-mortar international touring career and a devoted following\, one that includes luminaries like Van Dyke Parks\, Greil Marcus\, and Don Henley.\n\nIn September of 2024 Jeffrey Foucault will release THE UNIVERSAL FIRE (Fluff & Gravy\, 9/6/24)\, his first album of entirely new material since 2018. A series of high-voltage performances cut live in one room\, the album is both a working wake – Foucault lost his best friend and drummer Billy Conway\, to cancer in 2021 – and a meditation on the nature of beauty\, artifact\, and loss.\n\nAugmenting Foucault’s all-star band with members of Calexico and Bon Iver (drummer John Convertino and producer/saxophonist Mike Lewis) THE UNIVERSAL FIRE sets Conway’s death against the massive 2008 fire at the Universal Studios lot in California that destroyed the master recordings of some of our bedrock American music\, to interrogate ideas about mortality\, legacy\, meaning\, and calling.

A young man\, Alexis\, is obsessed with the idea of love levelling all ranks and social distinctions. To promote his beliefs\, he invites the proprietor of J. W.

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college\, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota\, where no skyscrapers exist\, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia. After returning home to Detroit\, Glazer began his griot series\, the “Motor City Griot Society” masks\, the faces of the superheroes that will save Detroit\, and more recently the “Motor City Griot Patrol” creatures that will protect the city of Detroit.

She collects and arranges images\, builds and subtracts\, and uses processes that suit the concepts and gives the pieces a reason for existing as textiles. Simultaneously she strives to make the medium influence the outcome in such a way that cloth and image meld together. Moran uses silkscreen\, shibori\, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly\, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.\n\nGallery hours: Monday-Friday\, 9 am to 5pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu UID:124224-21852761@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124224 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Free,Graduate Students,North Campus,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241022T124308 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Touch DESCRIPTION:Ericka Lopez is a visual artist born in Mexico and living in Los Angeles. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Given sequentially observed data\, anytime-valid methods guarantee valid inference at adaptively chosen sample sizes\, as opposed to pre-specified sample sizes\, thereby allowing the experimenter to stop experiments early. Furthermore\, when using anytime-valid confidence intervals\, also known as confidence sequences\, the experimenter can repeatedly peek at the results over time (referred to as \"continuous monitoring\") without compromising validity.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss two recent advances in the field of anytime-valid inference. First\, I will introduce anytime-valid approaches to the problem of comparing sequential forecasters under continuous monitoring\, commonly found in meteorology\, sports\, and finance. In particular\, I will derive tight confidence sequences that can track the time-varying mean expected score difference between any two forecasters\, without requiring restrictive assumptions such as stationarity.\n\nSecond\, I will introduce a general approach to combining anytime-valid statistical evidence (\"e-process\") for a null hypothesis\, where the evidence is constructed in different information sets (filtrations). This is motivated by a common challenge arising in various sequential inference problems\, including sequential tests of randomness and independence\, as well as the sequential comparison of k-step-ahead forecasters. I will show how a simple approach based on adjusters allows us to combine arbitrary e-processes across filtrations with an asymptotically logarithmic cost.\n\nhttps://yjchoe.github.io/ UID:124600-21853252@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124600 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240904T120814 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Storytelling for Community Building DESCRIPTION:In a researcher’s toolkit\, storytelling is fundamental for meaning-making and sense-making: it can be used both to communicate scholarly information and build human connections with potential partners. In this workshop\, participants will review and practice storytelling strategies and setup. Building on this foundation\, participants will then consider how storytelling can be crucial to community building. This might include articulating stronger links between their personal experiences and the research questions they seek to address\, facilitating perspective-taking\, building relationships founded on trust and transparency\, and crafting narratives of collectively imagined futures. Participants will be introduced to research collaboration scenarios that explore how this type of communication can build bridges across disciplines and cultures\, reflect on their own experiences\, and consider how to apply blended storytelling techniques to their own future work. \nAny questions?

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:84303-21621461@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:20240814T150450 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Vertical Integration and Plan Design in Healthcare Markets DESCRIPTION:We measure the impacts of vertical integration between insurers and hospitals. In the Chilean market\, where half of private hospital capacity is vertically integrated\, integration increases inpatient care spending by 6 percent and decreases consumer surplus and total welfare. Integrated insurers offer generous coverage at integrated hospitals\, limited access to rival hospitals\, and lower premiums. Competition for enrollees forces non-integrated insurers to provide additional coverage to high-quality non-integrated hospitals\, resulting in plan networks that limit hospital competition. Whereas vertical integration reduces double marginalization\, skewed cost-sharing structures and\, their effect on hospital competition than compensate\, leading to an overall negative welfare impact.

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. These students and instructors have worked collaboratively to produce a fully self-directed show from start to finish\, emphasizing the skills and practices associated with producing professional exhibitions\, in addition to their studio work. \n\nFaculty:\nNick Tobier\, Professor\nMichelle Cieloszczyk\, GSI\n\nBA Student Artists and Designers:\nMaria D'Ambrosio\nDanielle de Coster\nEsha Kumar\nPeyton Messner\nMaya Moufawad\nRia Garcia Rivera\nBenjamin Nicolas Seguin \nScott Wallace Smith\nSiyu Zhong UID:128544-21861152@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/128544 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Design,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241221T063058 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:CIC Student Working Group Meeting DESCRIPTION:The CIC invites students of all academic backgrounds and varying research experience to join the CIC Student Working Group.

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.

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).

However\, current state-of-the-art molecular property prediction models still require labeled training data generated using wet-lab experiments or Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. Their utility is limited by the scarcity and heterogeneity of labeled materials datasets. Foundation models (FMs) offer a solution to this: these models use self-supervised pre-training strategies to leverage unlabeled datasets and learn representations of data that can be applied to downstream tasks. Large unlabeled datasets of billions of synthesizable molecules are readily available. Prior attempts to train FMs for molecular property prediction demonstrate promise\; however\, equivariant geometric models trained using supervised learning are still more accurate. This can be attributed to the fact that foundation models are extremely expensive to train and can be difficult to interpret\; they require huge compute budgets\, complex distributed computing techniques\, and extensive hyperparameter searches. Our work addresses these challenges on three fronts: (1) we have prototyped a scalable workflow for distributed training of molecular foundation models (2) we have trained large foundation models using this workflow which demonstrate state-of-the-art molecular property prediction capabilities across several benchmarks and (3) we have applied model interpretability strategies such as the attention visualization to shed insight on molecular structure relationships learn by the transformer.\n\nBio: Anoushka is a third-year PhD student in Prof. Venkat Viswanathan’s group at the University of Michigan.

Many governments have established national AI strategies and set ambitious goals to incorporate AI into the public infrastructure\, while lacking AI-specific procurement guidelines. AI is not traditional software\, and traditional processes are not sufficient to meet the challenges AI brings. Today’s decisions to embed AI and algorithmic systems into public system infrastructure can – and will – have serious repercussions in the future.\nThe promise of AI systems is to make the public sector more efficient\, effective\, fair\, and sustainable.\n\nHowever\, AI systems also bring new and emerging risks which can impact rights and freedoms. Therefore\, guardrails are necessary to consider the socio-technical dimensions and impact on individuals\, communities\, and society at large.\n\nIt is crucial that public sector decision-makers understand the emerging risks of AI systems\, the impact on the agency and the wider public infrastructure\, and have the means to independently validate vendor claims. This book is a result of interviews with more than 20 public procurement professionals across countries\, offering an in-depth analysis of the risks\, incidents\, governance practices\, and emerging good practices around the world\, and provides valuable procurement policy and process recommendations to address and mitigate these risks.\n\nAbout the Author: \n\nMerve Hickok is the Responsible Data and AI Advisor to MIDAS and the founder of AIethicist.org. She is a globally renowned expert on AI policy\, ethics and governance. Her contributions and perspective have featured in the Guardian\, CNN\, Forbes\, Bloomberg\, Wired\, Scientific American\, Politico\, Protocol\, Vox\, The Economist and S&P. Her research\, training and consulting work focuses on the impact of AI systems on individuals\, society\, public and private organizations – with a particular focus on fundamental rights\, democratic values\, and social justice. She provides consultancy to C-suite leaders\, and training services to public and private organizations on Responsible AI development\, due diligence and governance. She also teaches data ethics at University of Michigan\, and serves as a Board member in multiple organizations.

But what are students’ actual collaborative experiences in these programs\, and are they equitable? To answer these questions\, I draw on a qualitative case study of an elite engineering school involving in-depth interviews with engineering undergraduates and administrators\, as well as ethnographic observations of life at the school over the course of two and a half years. I argue that the culture and structure of elite STEM programs actually undermine the equitable promises of collaborative learning by creating more positive collaborative experiences for privileged students than for their less-privileged counterparts\, which positions privileged students to receive more academic help\, support\, and learning opportunities. I find that although students are influenced\, expected\, and instructed to collaborate\, the inexplicit rules and limited structuring around how and with whom to do so lead students to rely on their own backgrounds to navigate the collaborative scene. This context enables privileged students—namely those from class-advantaged high school contexts as well as male and White and Asian students (or those with intersectional privileges)—to experience the most success with collaboration. The findings suggest that STEM programs’ promotion of collaborative learning approaches falls short in engineering equitable educational advantages for students of all backgrounds.

Manuscript cultures are central to premodern societies. Different manuscript formats and material substrates connect texts\, images\, languages\, reading practices\, and ritual performances\, which in a university setting are often split across multiple departments and fields. Having this broad framework will enable the interest group to explore collaboration across disciplines and facilitate research among different manuscript traditions through an object-centered approach.\n\nIn monthly meetings during the Fall and Winter terms\, participants will present on current research interests as well as give more general overviews of particular manuscript cultures for informal discussion and exchange. They will also occasionally discuss key readings which have shaped manuscript studies in specific areas or in broader ways. In addition\, the interest group hopes to be able to explore manuscript collections in person together\, both in and around Ann Arbor as well as further afield. We hope to invite an external speaker once a year to connect the interest group with scholars beyond U-M.\n\nOpen to U-M faculty\, staff\, and graduate students only. Organized by Tina Bawden (History of Art) and Trent Walker (Asian Languages & Cultures). Please contact the group organizers for location.

Here\, I will discuss several studies that\, in different ways\, address the physics of how size is set and how precisely it can be controlled. First\, I will introduce a simple phenomenological framework that allows one to consider tradeoffs between noise in the actual growth process and in a system's internal measurement of its own size. I will show how this framework places a bound on the size precision of individual bacterial cells and analyze data from recent experiments to show that\, at least in some circumstances\, the measured precision is very near this bound. Then\, I will extend the framework to consider how sizes can be coordinated by chemical signals\, for example between organs like the left and right wings of a fruit fly\, and show that theory severely limits how well this can be done. Finally\, I will study the noisy dynamics of growth of multi-cellular tissues in the presence of various feedback laws\, finding that only certain forms of mechanical feedback can specify a unique organ size. Time permitting\, I will introduce a formalism to describe the elasticity of growing objects with strong connections to differential geometry and observe that growing tissues tend to show power law density correlations\, reminiscent of those also observed in models of the early universe.

Like blackface\, redface was used to racialize Indigenous peoples and nations\, and even more crucially\, exclude them from full citizenship in the United States. Arguing that redface is more than just the costumes or makeup an actor wears\, Bethany Hughes contends that it is a collaborative\, curatorial process through which artists and audiences make certain bodies legible as “Indian.” By chronicling how performances and definitions of redface rely upon legibility and delineations of race that are culturally constructed and routinely shifting\, this book offers an understanding of how redface works to naturalize a very particular version of history and\, in doing so\, mask its own performativity. Tracing the “Stage Indian” from its early nineteenth-century roots to its proliferation across theatrical entertainment forms and turn of the twenty-first century attempts to address its racist legacy\, Redface uses case studies in law and civic life to understand its offstage impact. Hughes connects extensive scholarship on the “Indian” in American culture to the theatrical history of racial impersonation and critiques of settler colonialism\, demonstrating redface’s high stakes for Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike. Revealing the persistence of redface and the challenges of fixing it\, Redface closes by offering readers an embodied rehearsal of what it would mean to read not for the “Indian” but for Indigenous theater and performance as it has always existed in the US. \n\nAbout the Author: Bethany Hughes is Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan in the Department of American Culture and a core faculty member in the Native American Studies Program. Her work can be found in Theatre Journal\, Mobilities\, Theatre Survey\, American Periodicals\, and Theatre Topics.

Two prominent examples are Leibniz’s Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR) and contemporary philosophers' use of inference to the best explanation (IBE). The goal of this talk is to argue for a principle of explanatory inference that is more limited than the PSR and IBE but also more powerful. The strength of this alternative principle is its justification by way of naturalistic commitments that are widespread (though not always widely appreciated) throughout contemporary philosophy.

Two distinct proofs of this positivity have emerged: one through the combinatorics of Dyck paths\, and another via scattering diagrams\, which originate from mirror symmetry and were previously not combinatorially understood. Combining these approaches\, we find a directly computable\, manifestly positive\, and elementary (but highly nontrivial) formula describing rank 2 scattering diagrams. Using this\, we prove the Laurent positivity of generalized cluster algebras of all ranks\, resolving a conjecture of Chekhov and Shapiro from 2014. This is joint work with Kyungyong Lee and Lang Mou.

As we are seeing today in the increase in coral bleaching events and ocean acidification\, the marine realm is often on the front lines of climate change. Reconstructing how past ocean temperatures changed across extinction events allows us to understand the baseline climate state upon which extinction occurred and whether temperature changes may have caused\, contributed to\, or exacerbated extinction severity. My research uses stable and clumped isotope paleothermometry applied to marine mollusk fossils (fossil seashells) to do just this - study the state of the oceans during key extinction intervals of Earth's history. In this talk\, I will describe the evolution in my thinking over my career relating to how clumped isotopes can be applied to reveal the most secrets from fossil shells and tell us not only about climate but about how the organism lived\, built its shell\, and died. I will present results relating to the Cretaceous-Paleogene global mass extinction and the Plio-Pleistocene regional molluscan mass extinction\, including both typical applications of isotope paleothermometry and newer\, more creative applications.

If their gifts and talents were lauded and supported\, as they should be? Black Brilliance\, curated by Yodit Mesfin Johnson\, builds on the celebration of Black artists and communities in connection with the exhibition \"Silver Linings: Celebrating the Spelman Art Collection.\"\n \nOmari Rush\, Executive Director of CultureSource\, will facilitate an illuminating discussion featuring artists Ash Arder\, Ashara Ekundayo\, Gabrielle Ione Hickmon\, Morgan Cecille Hutson (aka Supercoolwicked)\, and Paige Wood. The aim of the roundtable is to hear firsthand about the ways the community can nourish the local network of Black artists while deepening collective understanding of the barriers they face. Join this curated conversation among motivated artists\, curators\, funders\, and regional organizations both small and large. Let’s work together to consider ways to amplify the names and work of these brilliant artists. Free and open to the public\, registration required.\n \nProgram schedule: 4:00-5:30 pm — Artist Roundtable\, moderated by CultureSource Executive Director Omari Rush 5:30-6:30 pm — Happy Hour & Connecting\n \nGuests are also encouraged to stay or return for a phenomenal performance of \"Negro\, Spiritual\" by Supercoolwicked\, beginning at 8pm! \n UID:129209-21862332@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129209 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Over the years\, this result has been generalized in a variety of ways. Such as\, to arbitrary surfaces of non-exceptional type or relaxing isometries to quasi-isometries. In this talk\, we will discuss another generalization. We will consider isometric embeddings between Teichmuller spaces of finite type surfaces and show that besides some low-dimensional cases\, they are induced by branched coverings between the underlying surfaces. As a consequence\, we obtain a classification of local isometric embeddings between moduli spaces of curves. This is joint work with Frederik Benirschke.

When the target measure is fixed\, this is commonly referred to as the Optimal Skorokhod Embedding problem in the Mathematical Finance literature. In our case\, we will allow the target measure to vary as part of the optimization while imposing an upper bound constraint on it. \n \nWe will discuss how this problem is linked to the non-local Stefan problem\, which describes the phase transition between water and ice with anomalous diffusion. We will focus on the new results obtained due to the probabilistic approach we take\, and will discuss open questions. This is joint work with Inwon Kim\, Young-Heon Kim\, and Kyeongsik Nam.

The concert features choreography and performance by graduating seniors Gabriella Boutiette\, Rachel Dunklee\, Sarah Gorman\, Katherine Mitchell\, and Abigail Widlak.\n\nGabriella Boutiette’s group work\, *Where do you sail when the sun surrenders?*\, is about the individual journey of finding the power of you. Although everyone’s journey in finding themselves\, their purpose\, and what they think the value they bring to the world manifests differently\, it is not as rare an experience as one might think. One’s power can come from within and also from finding those people who share the same drive or passion for something. When the world goes quiet\, who are the people you choose to surround yourself with? Who are you\, and what is your power? Boutiette’s solo\, Énoument\, investigates the bittersweet feeling of finally reaching the answers you’ve sought\, while grappling with the sorrow that you are unable to enlighten your past self.\n\nRachel Dunklee’s group\, *C’EST COMME ÇA\, C’EST COMME ÇA*\, follows a group of people after a long week of working a corporate job winding down at a back-door poker game. Playing the game\, they become less and less interested in the rivalry and the outcome and band together to throw the game away. Rachel’s solo work\, Laugh Until The Sun Goes\, is based on reflecting upon a past relationship. While the rain can be intense\, it is also very meditative and symbolic of washing yourself clean of the past. The solo acts as the last look at the relationship before letting it go.\n\nSarah Gorman’s group piece\, *Weaving Hearts*\, focuses on the complex ways in which people are perceived and act differently in every interaction. The dance will explore the complexities and roles of relationships and their function in our everyday lives: lighthearted\, carefree\, and heartbreaking. Gorman’s piece will celebrate girlhood and friendship. Creating a quilt of vignettes to illuminate the colorful fabric of the human experience. Gorman’s solo Emendemus in Melius will illuminate overcoming challenges in life and how beautiful it is for one to persevere. The piece navigates the challenges of self-doubt\, capturing moments of vulnerability that ultimately transform into strength. The solo will dive into the feeling of being held back\, but wanting to\, and eventually\, being set free.\n\nKatherine Mitchell’s group work\, *Pink Rubber Handlebars*\, explores a complex nostalgic state through relationships and interconnectedness\, highlighting the thrilling freedom of youth. Incorporating film elements\, the dancers evoke the essence of girlhood and growing up\, capturing the bittersweet blend of longing and comfort that nostalgia brings. Mitchell’s solo In a Passing Moment draws from the quiet beauty of empathy and the impact of shared human experience. Rooted in personal memories and fleeting encounters\, it reflects a profound sense of interconnectedness\, embracing the unknowns we each carry. \n\n\nAbby Widlak’s group work\, *Was*\, explores the idea of love and loss\, how grief can impact not only a person's day-to-day life\, but worldview as well. With an original score by Ryan Ardelt the dancers take a journey between the five stages of grief on the non-linear road to acceptance. Widlak’s solo\, Dear Abigail\, addresses what it is like to never be yourself with any specific person. She adventures through the idea of what it means to wear different masks with different people. This work is coupled with an original score by Jason Zhang\, a senior music composition and computer science major at U-M.

This experimental musical explores self-reflection\, ancestral veneration\, and transformation. “Negro\, Spiritual\,” also the name of her forthcoming debut album\, recognizes the historical significance\, power\, and ownership of Black American musical contributions. The Negro Spiritual is considered to be the first “American” musical form and has since shaped the composition of contemporary music with continued influence worldwide. Claiming that lineage as an inheritance and birthright\, Supercoolwicked uses Negro spirituals as a launchpad for her personal journey to emotional safety and freedom. Supercoolwicked most recently performed “Negro\, Spiritual” at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History for a special off-grid performance in collaboration with artist/climate activist Ash Arder. “Negro\, Spiritual” is written and created by Morgan Cecille Hutson\, co-written and directed by Salakāstar\, and co-produced by Magic Wheel Creative\, a creative production agency founded by Tunde Olaniran.\n \nFree and open to the public\, no registration required.\n UID:129210-21862333@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129210 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241029T170144 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:The Sorcerer DESCRIPTION:The Sorcerer is a two-act comic opera\, with a libretto by W.

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 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:84303-21621462@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:20241207T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241207T170000 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).

S. Gilbert and music by Arthur Sullivan. Based on a Christmas story\, An Elixir of Love\, that Gilbert wrote for The Graphic magazine in 1876\, this production will be set in the modern South of America. A young man\, Alexis\, is obsessed with the idea of love levelling all ranks and social distinctions. To promote his beliefs\, he invites the proprietor of J. W. Wells & Co.\, Family Sorcerers\, to brew a love potion. This causes everyone in the village to fall in love with the first person they see and results in the pairing of comically mismatched couples. To see how it all works out\, come see this University of Michigan Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s production.

UMSCU music director Scott Hanoian conducts this annual holiday tradition\, which features a cast of stellar soloists all making their first UMS appearances. “A musical rite of the holiday season\, the Baroque-era oratorio still awes listeners more than 250 years after the composer’s death.” (Smithsonian)\n\nFeatured Artists: \nUMS Choral Union\nAnn Arbor Symphony Orchestra\nScott Hanoian\, conductor\n\nLauren Snouffer\, soprano\nEric Jurenas\, countertenor\nLunga Eric Hallam\, tenor\nChristian Simmons\, bass-baritone UID:121962-21847853@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121962 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:American Culture,Ann Arbor,Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra,Anthropology,Art,artists,artists and curators,arts,Choir,Classical,classical music,concert,Culture,Energy,Family,hill auditorium,Holiday,Holiday Season,Humanities,In Person,Interdisciplinary,Mindfulness,music,orchestra,performance,Social,UMS,Ums Choral Union,university musical society,university symphony orchestra LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241112T121701 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241207T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241207T210000 SUMMARY:Performance:Laika Choi\, percussion DESCRIPTION:Undergraduate student Laika Choi performs a recital.

The concert features choreography and performance by graduating seniors Gabriella Boutiette\, Rachel Dunklee\, Sarah Gorman\, Katherine Mitchell\, and Abigail Widlak.\n\nGabriella Boutiette’s group work\, *Where do you sail when the sun surrenders?*\, is about the individual journey of finding the power of you. Although everyone’s journey in finding themselves\, their purpose\, and what they think the value they bring to the world manifests differently\, it is not as rare an experience as one might think. One’s power can come from within and also from finding those people who share the same drive or passion for something. When the world goes quiet\, who are the people you choose to surround yourself with? Who are you\, and what is your power? Boutiette’s solo\, Énoument\, investigates the bittersweet feeling of finally reaching the answers you’ve sought\, while grappling with the sorrow that you are unable to enlighten your past self.\n\nRachel Dunklee’s group\, *C’EST COMME ÇA\, C’EST COMME ÇA*\, follows a group of people after a long week of working a corporate job winding down at a back-door poker game. Playing the game\, they become less and less interested in the rivalry and the outcome and band together to throw the game away. Rachel’s solo work\, Laugh Until The Sun Goes\, is based on reflecting upon a past relationship. While the rain can be intense\, it is also very meditative and symbolic of washing yourself clean of the past. The solo acts as the last look at the relationship before letting it go.\n\nSarah Gorman’s group piece\, *Weaving Hearts*\, focuses on the complex ways in which people are perceived and act differently in every interaction. The dance will explore the complexities and roles of relationships and their function in our everyday lives: lighthearted\, carefree\, and heartbreaking. Gorman’s piece will celebrate girlhood and friendship. Creating a quilt of vignettes to illuminate the colorful fabric of the human experience. Gorman’s solo Emendemus in Melius will illuminate overcoming challenges in life and how beautiful it is for one to persevere. The piece navigates the challenges of self-doubt\, capturing moments of vulnerability that ultimately transform into strength. The solo will dive into the feeling of being held back\, but wanting to\, and eventually\, being set free.\n\nKatherine Mitchell’s group work\, *Pink Rubber Handlebars*\, explores a complex nostalgic state through relationships and interconnectedness\, highlighting the thrilling freedom of youth. Incorporating film elements\, the dancers evoke the essence of girlhood and growing up\, capturing the bittersweet blend of longing and comfort that nostalgia brings. Mitchell’s solo In a Passing Moment draws from the quiet beauty of empathy and the impact of shared human experience. Rooted in personal memories and fleeting encounters\, it reflects a profound sense of interconnectedness\, embracing the unknowns we each carry. \n\n\nAbby Widlak’s group work\, *Was*\, explores the idea of love and loss\, how grief can impact not only a person's day-to-day life\, but worldview as well. With an original score by Ryan Ardelt the dancers take a journey between the five stages of grief on the non-linear road to acceptance. Widlak’s solo\, Dear Abigail\, addresses what it is like to never be yourself with any specific person. She adventures through the idea of what it means to wear different masks with different people. This work is coupled with an original score by Jason Zhang\, a senior music composition and computer science major at U-M.

It was Christmastime and apparently they thought we were up to the task. We worked up a few carols and traditional tunes and Karin even read a poem by Thomas Hardy called\, The Oxen.\n\nIt actually felt really good and conjured up an unusual mix of feelings from childhood: innocence\, loss\, wonder\, joy\, sadness. I think we were surprised. \n\nPeople must have tuned into the radio broadcast\, because we began receiving inquiries as to whether we had recorded any of our Christmas songs. I don’t think we had considered it at the time\, but any young\, struggling songwriter is open to the suggestions of the marketplace\, and people were persistent.\n\nIn December of 1996 – can it really be over 25 years ago? – we recorded and released our first song cycle of some of the Christmas carols that still haunted us. We included a few original tunes and called our wintry mix The Darkest Night Of The Year. We played a special “darkest night” release concert on winter solstice in an old 1300-seat theater in Cincinnati. Every last seat was full. Folks began snatching up copies and seemed to agree that they hadn’t heard anything quite like it.\n\nWe began playing concerts around the Midwest every December and found that the rooms were usually packed full of people who had bundled in out of the cold with prized compatriots. Hats and scarves abounded. If you stepped outside during intermission\, you could make ghosts with your breath in the crisp night air. And it was dark – oh so dark: a time of year with its own music.\n\nA decade later\, in 2006\, we released our first full collection of original Christmas/holiday songs called Snow Angels. What is it about Christmas music and the undeniable gravitational pull it exerts on some songwriters? So many Christmas songs have already been written. I think we are genuinely curious about the ones that haven’t yet been written.\n\nWe continued to tour every December and these special year-winding-down concerts began to feel like an annual tradition – gatherings of extended musical family\, without whom\, we’d be homeless.\n\nBy the time we released our third holiday album of original songs\, Blood Oranges In The Snow\, in December of 2014\, Karin suggested we had discovered a new genre of music: Reality Christmas.\n\nIt’s true: if you’ve buried a loved one\, or lost a job\, or battled a chronic illness\, that stuff doesn’t go away during the holidays. It can be a complicated season for many of us.\n\nAnd then there’s family.\n\nWhen Karin and I make the annual holiday pilgrimage home to visit family and pull into the driveway and turn off the car\, one of us inevitably looks over at the other and says\, “Tie a rope around my waist\, I’m goin’ in.”\n\nIn 2024\, more than 25 years after releasing our first holiday CD\, we are still at it. This year\, we will be leaning into some harmonies and making an intimate but hopefully holy ruckus. It won’t be all Christmas music: we’ll certainly mix in tunes from many of our records along the way. But\nhopefully it’s still true: hopefully you haven’t heard anything quite like it.\n\nMaybe a midnight snow will fall and turn each streetlight into its own private snow globe. Maybe\, regardless of whatever reality Christmas brings\, we’ll hear a faint echo of a song once rumored to have been sung by angels\, a song of peace on earth\, goodwill toward all… We’ve never heard anything quite like it.\n\nWe hope you’ll join us\,\n\nLinford Detweiler\nWith Karin close by\nNowhere Else\nClinton County\, Ohio UID:124970-21854168@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124970 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241125T181642 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241207T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241207T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:In-Ae Ha\, piano DESCRIPTION:Graduate student In-Ae Ha performs a recital.
