SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:On the mean-field limit of diffusive games through the master equation: extreme value analysis
DESCRIPTION:We consider an N-player game where the players control the drifts of their diffusive states which have no interaction in the noise terms. The aim of each player is to minimize the expected value of her cost\, which is a function of the player's state and the empirical measure of the states of all the players. Our aim is to determine the N→∞ asymptotic behavior of the upper order statistics of the player's states under Nash equilibrium (the Nash states). For this purpose\, we consider also a system of interacting diffusions which is constructed by using the Master PDE of the game and approximates the system of the Nash states\, and we improve an L2 estimate for the distance between the drifts of the two systems which has been used for establishing Central Limit Theorems and Large Deviations Principles for the Nash states in the past. By differentiating the Master PDE\, we obtain that estimate also in L∞\, which allows us to control the Radon-Nikodym derivative of a Girsanov transformation that connects the two systems. The latter allows us to reduce the problem to the case of N uncontrolled diffusions with standard mean-field interaction in the drifts\, which has been treated in a previous work.\nJoint work with Erhan Bayraktar.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG SEMINAR: GEOMETRY\, TOPOLOGY\, DYNAMICS:    Dehn filling in semisimple Lie groups
DESCRIPTION:Thurston's Hyperbolic Dehn Filling Theorem is a seminal result in the theory of 3-manifolds. Given a single noncompact finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold M\, the theorem provides a construction for a countably infinite family of closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds converging to M in a geometric sense. The theorem is a major source of examples of 3-manifolds admitting hyperbolic structures\, and closely connects the topology of a 3-manifold to the analysis of the character variety of its fundamental group in PSL(2\, C). In this talk\, we discuss some analogs and generalizations of Thurston's theorem in the context of general (arbitrary-rank) semisimple Lie groups. We will explain how our results provide a way to construct new examples of Anosov and relatively Anosov representations into higher-rank Lie groups\; we will also discuss upcoming joint work with Jeff Danciger\, which applies our results to construct exotic new examples of convex cocompact and geometrically finite groups acting on complex hyperbolic 3-space.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. 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. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\n*The exhibition is cosponsored by the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum*.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chimera
DESCRIPTION:*Chimera* is an immersive exhibition centered on a newly commissioned film\, also titled *Chimera*\, which fuses elements from Newsome's prior works *Hands Performance* and *Build or Destroy* with a new interquel film that bridges their narratives. This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Red Summer: Racial Violence in the American Landscape\, 1917-1923
DESCRIPTION:The Red Summer portfolio represents the stories of various locations in the American landscape where racial violence (often characterized as “Race Wars” at the time) erupted between 1917 and 1923. These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919.  \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. 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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Research Institute | The invisible drummer:  A quantum optomechanical dark matter search
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nRecently the field of cavity optomechanics has entered the search for dark matter\, leveraging technology capable of force measurements at or below the standard quantum limit.  I’ll describe one such journey\, in our lab\, in which a membrane-based optomechanical system is being used to search for inertial forces produced by ultralight “dark photon” dark matter.  Along the way\, we have developed techniques to enhance sensitivity using tools of contemporary cavity optomechanics\, including elastic strain-engineering to reduce mechanical loss\, radiation pressure feedback to reduce thermal noise\, and photonic crystal patterning to increase displacement sensitivity.  We have also joined forces with the squeezed light metrology community\, to develop a prototype entanglement-enhanced optomechanical sensor array.  Against this backdrop\, I’ll present our initial dark photon search results.\n\nBio: \nDalziel Wilson is an associate professor of optical sciences at the University of Arizona. His work in cavity optomechanics includes seminal demonstrations of radiation pressure feedback cooling\, quantum-limited position measurement\, optomechanical light squeezing\, and quantum coherent nanomechanics. Previously\, he was a visiting scientist at IBM Research–Zurich and a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at EPFL.  He received his Ph.D. from Caltech in 2012 and his B.S. from UC Berkeley in 2006.

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).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | In Close Association: Politics\, Gender\, and Reform in Meiji Japan\, 1868-1900
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be in-person only and will not be recorded.\n   \n   This talk examines the activities of two former samurai who committed themselves to social and political reform in the decades following the 1868 Meiji Restoration: Nakagawa Yokotarō (1836-1903) and Sumiya Koume (1850-1920). In this talk\, Professor Anderson suggests that this period of rapid transformation offered each of them a new start and the chance to create a new identity. Together\, their stories shed light on how gender roles changed in these years and demonstrate how modern Japanese society was increasingly organized around the principle of gender difference.\n   \n   Marnie S. Anderson is the Barbara Richmond 1940 Professor of History at Smith College in Northampton\, Massachusetts\, where she teaches premodern and modern Japanese history and modern East Asian history. She received her PhD from the University of Michigan in 2005. Her current research investigates the rise of large-scale conservative women’s activism in prewar and wartime Japan with a focus on the Patriotic Women’s Association *(Aikoku fujinkai)*.\n   \n  *This 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 cjsevents@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nHow can we enable immune cells to “hear” sound waves\, and how can we “see” their activities in real time? Dr. Longwei Liu’s research merges ultrasound-controllable genetic circuit engineering\, cellular reprogramming\, and multiplexed molecular imaging techniques to empower cells to detect and respond to ultrasound. Specifically\, his research focuses on developing a clinically compatible\, noninvasive\, effective\, focused ultrasound (FUS)-controllable Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T cell-based immunotherapy for solid tumor treatment. Alongside this\, he also develops genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors and multiplexed signaling activity imaging platform to capture the early activation molecular signaling landscapes in live immune cells to guide the design of genetic circuits. These biosensors can be further extended to study cell signaling in real time\, providing insights into cellular mechanics\, cell-cell and cell-material interactions. In this seminar\, Dr. Liu will share recent progress on three topics: (1) engineering effective and clinically compatible ultrasound-controllable CAR-T cell immunotherapies for treating solid tumors\, including glioblastoma (GBM) and prostate cancer\; (2) developing a remote-controllable CRISPR toolbox to allow spatiotemporal control of genomic/epigenomic reprogramming\, potentially for gene therapies\; and (3) engineering “cell activity” biosensors and multiplexed signaling activity imaging platform to study T cell activation mechanisms and guide the design of genetic circuits. This combination of cell signaling observation and manipulation deepens our understanding of cellular networks\, bridges the gap between observational biology and actionable therapeutics\, and paves the way for innovative cell manipulation methodologies for therapy.\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94337625486

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Colloquium Seminar: Asymptotics of high-dimensional Laplace-type integrals and probability densities
DESCRIPTION:We derive an asymptotic expansion of Laplace-type integrals in which dimension grows together with the large parameter in the exponent. This fills a gap in the theory between the classical fixed dimensional regime dating back to Laplace\, and more recent work on the asymptotic expansion of infinite dimensional Laplace-type integrals due to Ben Arous. We also present related work on approximations of high-dimensional Laplace-type probability densities. These results resolve several long-standing open questions in the theory of both general asymptotic analysis and high-dimensional Bayesian statistics. Beyond their theoretical significance\, our results are useful for statistical computation such as model selection and uncertainty quantification in Bayesian inverse problems and other data science settings.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Annual Martin Luther King\, Jr. Lecture | Racial Justice in the Inter-American System of Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/Dr32j\n\nThe Inter-American Human Rights system serves as a vital mechanism for promoting equity and addressing systemic discrimination in the Americas and Caribbean region. The Inter-American system has played a crucial role in combating racial and intersectional discrimination. Key to its work is the work of expert bodies or \"Rapporteurs\,\" including one monitoring the conditions of Afro-descendants. Our speaker will discuss the mandate\, mechanisms\, tools\, and initiatives of the Inter-American Commission and Court of Human Rights as well as the Rapporteurship on Afro- descendants and their contributions to promoting racial justice in the Americas.\n\nCommissioner Gloria de Mees was elected by the General Assembly of the OAS during its 53th Regular Period of Sessions\, for a four-year term from January 1\, 2024 through December 31\, 2027. She is a human rights lecturer at the Anton de Kom University of Suriname. Her focus\, as a legal expert\, included the Collective Rights of Indigenous and Tribal Peoples\, and Human Rights of Older Persons. Standing out in her human rights career are advising nationally on the Inter-American Human Rights System\, legislation and policy\, in addition to advocating for the rights of marginalized communities. In this sense\, she was a member of the Group of Experts advising the National Assemblée of the Republic of Suriname on the Bill on Collective Rights of Indigenous and Tribal Peoples\; she served as the Secretary of the Bureau of the Agent of State to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights\; she has also been actively involved in the formulation of the Bill establishing the National Human Rights Institute as well as in the drafting of country reports for reporting to several UN Treaty Bodies. She is a citizen of Suriname.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at wesleywr@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - The dual role of parental conflict in speciation
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of our ongoing Thursday Seminar Series.\n\nDetermining what factors generate biodiversity is a central question in evolutionary biology. Despite its long history of study\, we are only beginning to understand the evolutionary drivers of reproductive barriers between species\, including reproductive barriers that manifest as sterile or dead hybrids. An intriguing hypothesis is that intragenomic conflicts- or selfish evolution- can drive the evolution of alleles that cause hybrid sterility/inviability. One such source of conflict is conflict between parents over resource allocation to offspring. Under parental conflict\, multiple paternity drives the evolution of paternally derived\, resource-acquiring alleles\, and maternally derived alleles that distribute resources equally among offspring. In hybrids\, mismatches between these parent-of-origin effect alleles can cause inappropriate development of placenta or endosperm\, and subsequently embryo death. Here\, I test the role of parental conflict in generating one of the most common intrinsic barriers in seed angiosperms- hybrid seed inviability-using members of the evolutionary and ecological model system\; the Mimulus guttatus species complex. I show that hybrid seed inviability has evolved rapidly and repeatedly in this group\, and patterns of HSI conform to the predictions of parental conflict. Additionally\, genetic mapping suggests that hybrid seed inviability is conferred by nuclear\, parent-of-origin effect loci (i.e. loci that affect the probability of death only if maternally or paternally derived). Lastly\, using a series of natural surveys and mixed pollination crosses\, I find that species with different histories of parental conflict frequently co-occur and hybridize\, and hybridization between species with differing histories of parental conflict can indirectly influence growth in intraspecific seeds. Overall\, this work highlights a dual role of parental conflict in the speciation process\; both in the origin of reproductive isolation\, but also in the dynamics and outcomes of hybridization in nature.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Between Home and Exile: Binational Living and Longing at the US-Mexico Border
DESCRIPTION:Mexican immigrants and migrants have been crossing back and forth along the US Mexico border for 150 years\, and yet exile is most often associated with the political migrations that took place during the Mexican Revolution. This lecture will address the tensions between forced and voluntary exile of Mexican migrants over the years\, as well as how we might grapple with notions of exile as they relate to economic and violent displacement. It will also discuss the many meanings of home\, especially for migrants forging binational lives and livelihoods. Centrally\, it will focus on the affective impacts of exile—the longing and the missing of homes and families on the other side of the border.\n\nLarisa Veloz is a professor of history at the University of Texas at El Paso\, where she teaches the histories of Mexican migration\, Latin America and the Latinx diaspora\, and the US-Mexico borderlands. Her book \"‘Even the Women are Leaving’: Migrants Making Mexican America\, 1890-1965\,\" published in 2023 by University of California Press\, explores the histories of Mexican migrant families\, focusing on women and gender relations in the first part of the twentieth century. Her current project is based on a set of oral histories/testimonios of Mexican migrant women who came to the United States in the 60s\, 70s\, and 80s.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:What Can Participatory Music Practice Do for Liberal Democracy? A Rebetiko Case Study
DESCRIPTION:What is the democratizing potential of participatory music practices? Professor Stamatis draws on her extensive ethnographic research in the Rebetiki Istoria music club in Athens and is in dialogue with the writings of political theorist Chantal Mouffe that harness critical artistic practices in the public sphere to the realization of agonistic democracy. Using the participatory music practices of Rebetiki Istoria\, she develops Mouffe’s work to better understand under which conditions counterhegemonic music practices engender agonism. She suggests that its music practices offer a framework for overcoming fundamental shortcomings of agonistic theory and demonstrate the possibility for agonistic peace as a dynamic equilibrium between the constitutive political tensions of liberal democracy.\n\nYona Stamatis is Associate Professor of Ethnomusicology at the University of Illinois Springfield\, Director of the Music Program\, and Chair of the Department of Art\, Music and Theatre. Her research interests center on music and social justice with a focus on Greek folk and popular song. She has published many articles and has a book in progress. Her research has been supported by the Fulbright Foundation\, Mellon Foundation\, and Constantine A Tsangadas Fellowship for Hellenic Studies. She is the music editor for Ergon: Greek/American & Diaspora Arts and Letters. Her doctorate in musicology is from the University of Michigan in 2011. She is a violinist and a bouzouki player in the early rebetiko style.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ESG Data Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Jerry Davis for a workshop on ESG Data. Nearly all major corporations release ESG reports\, and global ESG (environmental\, social\, governance) assets under management are projected to pass $50 trillion in 2025. Some see ESG data as an essential tool to guide corporations toward positive social impact. Yet the investment strategy has become controversial\, and some states have banned the use of ESG standards for government funds. What is ESG\, how can I get and use ESG data\, and why is a seemingly niche investment strategy suddenly so political?\n\nThis hands-on workshop provides hands-on experience with ESG data to answer three questions: (1) How can I evaluate a specific company’s ESG performance (e.g.\, a potential employer)? (2) How can I assess ESG mutual funds and ETFs that I might invest in? and (3) How can I use ESG data to create a portfolio that matches my values?\n\nRegister for this and other workshops in the series at https://forms.gle/oXCDCEsdQ5AHqcpK8

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FAST Lecture | Dyeing to Know: Studying Colors in Karanis Textiles
DESCRIPTION:Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year is Mocha Mousse\, a color Pantone says\, “nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee\, answering our desire for comfort.” While Kelsey Museum conservators are fairly sure that Mocha Mousse was not a favorite color in Roman Egypt—a culture that\, sadly\, also had no experience of either chocolate or coffee as delectable comfort foods—Pantone’s Classic Blue (2020) and Viva Magenta (2022) would have been strong contenders. \n\nIn this talk\, Kelsey Museum Conservator Suzanne Davis will present initial findings from a study of dyes in textiles from the Roman Egyptian town of Karanis\, Egypt. This study is a subset of a larger project to look at color in the Kelsey Museum’s collections. Among other things\, it has revealed that the textile workers of Karanis were highly sophisticated in their application and manipulation of color and that favorite colors for embellishing fabrics were a classic navy blue\, a bright and bold red\, and a wide range of pinks and purples—all skillfully modulated to achieve specific decorative effects. \n\nThis event will take place in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall. Light refreshments and food will be provided before the lecture\, which will begin at 6 PM.\n\nFAST (Field Archaeology Series on Thursday) lectures are free and open to the public. If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Rashaad Newsome
DESCRIPTION:Rashaad Newsome is a multidisciplinary artist whose work blends several practices — collage\, sculpture\, video\, music\, computer programming\, and performance — to form an altogether new field. He seamlessly merges art\, code\, film\, and community-building to create immersive experiences that explore the intersections of Blackness\, queerness\, and futurism. Using the equalizing force of sampling\, he crafts compositions that surprise in their associative potential and walk the tightrope between identity politics\, social practice and abstraction. \nAssembly\, his groundbreaking exhibition and film\, brings together dancers\, artificial intelligence\, animation\, collage\, sculpture\, holography\, and soundscapes to reimagine collective liberation. Central to this work is Being\, the Digital Griot—an AI-powered entity that embodies radical storytelling. Acting as both mirror and provocateur\, Being demonstrates AI's potential as a tool for liberation rather than control. \nNewsome will offer an in-depth exploration of the conceptual frameworks and processes behind Assembly and Being. He will discuss how his work dismantles systems of oppression and reimagines physical and digital spaces as arenas for liberation. Through dynamic storytelling\, dance\, and the collaboration between human and non-human performers\, Newsome pushes artistic boundaries while sparking critical conversations about how art and technology can shape futures beyond binary thinking\, paving the way for a more liberated world.\nNewsome has exhibited and performed in galleries\, museums\, institutions\, and festivals throughout the world\, including The Whitney Museum\, Brooklyn Museum\, MoMA PS1\, SFMOMA\, New Orleans Museum of Art\, Centre Georges Pompidou\, and the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture. He has received multiple honors and awards for his work\, including a 2014 Headlands Center for the Arts Visiting Artist Residency\, and a 2011 Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award.\nIn tandem with Newsome’s appearance in the Penny Stamps Series\, the Institute for the Humanities is hosting Chimera\, an immersive exhibition built around a newly commissioned film of the same name. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation. Chimera opens directly following this event at the Institute for the Humanities gallery with an opening reception and artist meet and greet. Chimera will be on view from January 16 through February 28\, 2025 at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. \nPresented in partnership with the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Opening Reception: The Stampede
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Stamps Gallery on Thursday\, January 16\, 2025 from 6-8:30 p.m. for the opening reception of The Stampede.Born from their passion for the arts\, The Stampede is a student-led organization building a new space for artists. In September 2023\, four undergraduates united with a simple mission: to create a space for showcasing exciting new art work. They established a foundation and worked to build a buzz through outreach and excitement. The Stampede first hosted a pop-up exhibition (party) at a friend's house\, exhibiting 53 pieces of original work\, with food\, drink\, and music\, and a smashing turnout from the local community. They have since evolved\, developed an infrastructure\, and grown into a platform for dynamic art work.\nToday\, The Stampede curates and facilitates exhibitions and events that bring together artists\, writers\, and musicians. From pop-ups and art markets to concerts and gallery shows\, they provide a vibrant platform for creativity for the community. The organization has broken new ground on multiple accounts to pave new ways for artists today and tomorrow\; bridging the divide between student and school. Functioning as an artist collective\, The Stampede focus on creating large-scale artworks\, promotional materials\, and merchandise for their events.\nThis exhibition offers a glimpse behind the scenes of The Stampede: its origins\, current endeavors\, and future aspirations. Since its inception\, The Stampede has continuously surprised with its growth and transformation. Committed to providing opportunities for artists\, they will keep hosting events for their community and friends.\nJoin The Stampede in their journey\; they invite you to... RUN WITH US!

SUMMARY:Performance:Martha Guth\, soprano and Erika Switzer\, piano
DESCRIPTION:Guest artists Martha Guth\, soprano\, and Erika Switzer\, piano\, perform a recital as part of a residency with the Department of Voice & Opera. Free and open to the public.\n\nJuno nominated soprano MARTHA GUTH regularly presents concerts and recitals at major venues which include Wigmore Hall\, Lincoln Center\, The National Cathedral\, Ravinia\, and both Oxford Song and Leeds Lieder. Her interpretations have been called “Magical” (*Opera Now*)\; “Truly amazing” (*Montreal Gazette*) and “Thrilling” (*Globe and Mail*)\, and her concerts have been recorded and broadcast by the CBC Radio/Radio Canada\, the BBC and the WDR in Germany.  \n\nAs a young artist Martha won first prize at both the Wigmore Hall International Song Competition and the Concours Musical International de Montréal\, launching a performance career specializing in concert and song repertoire. Her deep interest in art song led her to co-found Sparks & Wiry Cries with pianist Erika Switzer\, a non-profit dedicated to art song spanning publication\, live performance\, and commission of new works. Her discography includes *Summer Night*\, a Juno nominated disc of songs by Healy Willan on Centrediscs\; *Das Ewig Weibliche*\, a solo disc of Schubert songs with Penelope Crawford on fortepiano\; Roberto Sierra’s *Beyond the Silence of Sorrow* with the Orquesta Sinfonica de Puerto Rico for Naxos (nominated for a 2016 Latin GRAMMY)\; John Fitz-Roger’s *Magna Mysteria* for the Innova label\; *Go by Contraries*\, songs of Andrew Staniland with baritone Tyler Duncan and pianist Erika Switzer released on Centre Discs. Forthcoming is a disc for Naxos of Mendelssohn’s *Lobgesang* with the Yakima Symphony.\n\nMartha is Assistant Professor of Voice at Ithaca College\, has been Co-Artistic Director of SongFest and Director of its Composer/Mentorship program and remains on faculty there. She has spent three summers on faculty at the Vocal Academy for The Collaborative Piano Institute and presented lectures\, masterclasses and recitals at dozens of major universities throughout North America specializing in song literature spanning the 19th century to today.\n\nERIKA SWITZER is an accomplished collaborative pianist who performs regularly in major concert settings around the world\, including at New York’s Weill Hall (Carnegie)\, Geffen Hall\, Frick Collection\, and Bargemusic\, at the Kennedy Center\, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society\, the Spoleto Festival (Charleston\, SC). Her performances have been called “precise and lucid” by the *New York Times*\, and Renaud Machart of *Le Monde* described her as “one of the best collaborative pianists I have ever heard\; her sound is deep\, her interpretation intelligent\, refined\, and captivating.”\n\nFrom 2000-2007\, Switzer performed and studied in Germany\, an experience that profoundly inspired and shaped her work. During that time\, she appeared at Festspielhaus Baden-Baden and in the Munich Winners & Masters series and won numerous awards\, including best pianist prizes at the Robert Schumann\, Hugo Wolf\, and Wigmore Hall International Song Competitions.\n\nSwitzer has long been a leader in envisioning and promoting the future of art song performance. In 2009\, in collaboration with soprano Martha Guth\, she founded the organization Sparks & Wiry Cries\, which commissions new works\, presents the *song*SLAM festival in New York City\, and publishes *The Art Song Magazine*. She is also devoted to new music\, and has recently premiered new compositions at the 5 Boroughs Music Festival\, Brooklyn Art Song Society\; and Vancouver’s Music on Main. \n\nSwitzer collaborates with a range of top singers.

SUMMARY:Performance:Django Reinhardt Birthday Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Join Michigan's own Djangophonique and Third Coast Swing in celebration of Django Reinhardt’s legacy of music that is still alive and evolving 115 years after he was born.\n\nDjangophonique is an award winning band led by guitar player Andrew Brown. With over a decade of national touring experience\, Brown is no stranger to the stage and delivers every performance with personality and enigmatic charm. A true disciple of the style\, Brown has spent countless hours immersing himself in the language of Django Reinhardt’s jazz manouche\, and he’s joined on stage by bandmates that match his skill and passion for the material. The core group includes Tyler Rindo on clarinet\, Nick Martin on rhythm guitar\, and Jorian Olk-Szost on upright bass. In 2023\, Djangophonique began collaborating with vocalist Katie Smith\, whose playful charm and soulful delivery channel the mystery and appeal of an unplaceable era of aching and entrancing nostalgia.\n\nThird Coast Swing has been playing the music of The late Belgium born Romani Gypsy\, Django Reinhardt & his band\, The Hot Club Of Paris 1930’-1940’s. Think Louis Armstrong with a French accent. Third Coast Swing has changed it up a bit and is  currently touring with the Detroit native Dave Bennett\, Violinist Grant Flick \, Vocalist Ella Jury Jarvis & Pianist Andrew Henley. Ella and our guitarist Kaedin Plummer did a deep dive on early jazz classics by Fitzgerald\, Sarah Vaughan and Billy Holiday and then arranged these songs to fit Third Coast Swing's eclectic style.\n\nSponsored by Blue LLama

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chimera
DESCRIPTION:*Chimera* is an immersive exhibition centered on a newly commissioned film\, also titled *Chimera*\, which fuses elements from Newsome's prior works *Hands Performance* and *Build or Destroy* with a new interquel film that bridges their narratives. This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Red Summer: Racial Violence in the American Landscape\, 1917-1923
DESCRIPTION:The Red Summer portfolio represents the stories of various locations in the American landscape where racial violence (often characterized as “Race Wars” at the time) erupted between 1917 and 1923. These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919.  \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bookworm #75 - Author Conversation with Robin Bernstein \"Freeman’s Challenge: The Murder That Shook America’s Original Prison for Profit\"
DESCRIPTION:Contrary to popular belief\, prison for profit originated in the North\, not the South\, long before the Civil War and the passage of the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution (which outlawed involuntary servitude \"except as a punishment for crime\"). Robin Bernstein's latest book\, Freeman's Challenge: The Murder that Shook America's Original Prison for Profit\, exposes the true origins of profit-driven incarceration through the heartbreaking story of William Freeman\, an Afro-Native teenager who challenged the system at its source. Bernstein will be joined in conversation by Professor LaKisha Simmons.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Anya Katsevich\, Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, Department of Math\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  We derive an asymptotic expansion of posterior integrals in the regime in which dimension grows together with sample size. We also present related work on the accuracy of the Laplace approximation (LA) to high-dimensional posterior densities\, and derive a higher-order correction to the LA. These results are both theoretically significant and useful for the computations involved e.g. in Bayesian model selection and construction of credible sets. Finally\, we prove the tightest known high-dimensional Bernstein-von Mises theorem\, closing the long-standing gap between conditions for asymptotic normality in Bayesian and frequentist inference.\n\nOur expansion of posterior integrals\, which are naturally of Laplace type for large sample size\, is also of theoretical significance in asymptotic analysis. It fills the gap in the theory between the classical fixed-dimensional regime dating back to Laplace\, and more recent work on the asymptotic expansion of infinite-dimensional Laplace-type integrals due to Ben Arous.\n\nhttps://anyakatsevich.github.io/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. 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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Science of Computational Electromagnetics\; a journey through its intellectual challenges
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nThe solution to Maxwell’s equation has been the basis of a slew of development over the past eight decades. These range from early radar systems to modern applications that are capturing imagination of engineers today: wearable sensors or antennas\, antennas and sensors for driverless vehicles\, threat detection scanners\, non-invasive medical devices\, advanced electromagnetic (EM) and acoustic materials. In exploring these applications\, the state of art has advanced to an extent that it computational electromagnetics has become a routine part of the design eco-system. Indeed\, more often than not\, it is not uncommon for designers to ask whether measured data agrees with HFSS\, a simulation software. It was not always this way. A couple of decades ago\, the state of art of simulations was at its infancy. Problem that could be solved were electrically small and geometrically not sophisticated. The gradual transformation of the state of art happened in late 1990’s. The transformation was largely driven by both advances in computational horsepower as well new algorithms. In concert\, we have achieved remarkable capabilities. That said\, the richness of our electromagnetic environment implies that there are a range of problems that are still beyond the reach of our simulation capabilities. Challenges arise due to increase in frequency\, behavior of materials at these frequencies\, shape and topology optimization\, transient physics\, multi-physics challenges\, packaging in relation to new circuit architectures\, and so on. In this talk\, I will walk through some the grand challenges (biased perspective\, of course) that the community has overcome and our group’s role in these efforts. I will also diverge onto interesting intellectual forays into the intersection of computer graphics and computational electromagnetics as well as particle in cell methods for plasma physics.\n\nBio: \n\nB.

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).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Challenging Gender in Labor and Migration
DESCRIPTION:This workshop delves into the often-overlooked gendered dynamics of labor and migration\, inspired by Professor Larisa Veloz's research that reexamines traditional narratives surrounding migration and home. It explores topics such as the impact of migration policies on women\, gendered labor mobility\, community support networks\, and the exploitation of labor within capitalist systems. Through these discussions\, this workshop sheds light on how centering gender in historical analyses can reveal new perspectives on home\, exile\, and activism. Join us to uncover the intricate connections between gender\, migration\, and labor in both historical and contemporary contexts.\n\nPanelists:\n\nAmelia Burke (Graduate Student\, Anthropology and History\, University of Michigan)\nCassandra Euphrat Weston (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nDaniel Jin (Graduate Student\, American Culture\, University of Michigan)\nDavid Tamayo (Assistant Professor\, History\, University of Michigan\; moderator)\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Valerie Traub Retirement Conference - Knowledge Relations: A Conference on Historical Epistemologies\, Emerging Methodologies\, Contemporary Practices
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, January 17\, 12:00pm - 6:00pm\nSaturday\, January 18\, 10:00am - 8:00pm\n\nThe last several years have seen a flourishing of work on historical epistemology\, as scholars ask how we know what we think we know about the cultural artifacts we analyze. This work has entailed rethinking foundational methodologies like genealogy\, philology\, phenomenology\, and humanism\, as well as influential critical paradigms developed in the 1980s and 90s such as feminist and queer studies. At the same time\, we have seen a flourishing of new critical methodologies\, including disability studies\, trans studies\, environmental studies\, global studies\, digital humanities\, and critical race studies. \n\nInspired by the scholarship and mentorship of Valerie Traub\, this conference brings these critical trends into conversation to think about how the questioning\, revising\, and renewing of older critical methodologies relates to the emergence of new critical methodologies and their effect on our modes of inquiry. How\, we ask\, is our knowledge of the past shaped by the methods of our inquiries and the networks in which we practice them? How do we build on earlier critical efforts even as we critique them? Who has been included and excluded in our knowledge relations with various periods\, specific topics\, disciplines and institutions? \n\nThis conference will bring together over two dozen leading scholars and teachers alongside professionals in related fields to reflect on the past and future of our intellectual practices\, including how we can and do impact contemporary culture outside of academia. The conference will feature new work from scholars in performance studies\, critical race studies\, empire studies\, new philology\, trans studies\, and disability studies\, among others. It will explore the opportunities for synergies both topical and professional. By bringing a diverse range of practitioners together\, Knowledge Relations explores how we might make the past and the future\, together. \n\nSPEAKERS:\nMisty Anderson\, Abdulhamit Arvas\, Amanda Bailey\, Tiffany Ball\, Gina Bloom\, Andrew Bozio\, Theresa Braunschneider\, Hannah Bredar\, Katherine Steele Brokaw\, Lauren Eriks Cline\, Amrita Dhar\, Holly Dugan\, Will Fisher\, Ari Friedlander\, Joey Gamble\, Rebecca Hixon\, Gavin Hollis\, Sarah Linwick\, Maureen McDonnell\, Cecilia Morales\, Amy Rodgers\, Marjorie Rubright\, Stephen Spiess\, Aaron Stone\, Chad Thomas\, Kathryn Will\, and Laura Williamson.\n\nhttps://sites.google.com/umass.edu/knowledge-relations/home

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Attentional Control in Organizations: A Theory and Two Case Studies
DESCRIPTION:This talk presents an integrated theory of attentional control in organizations\, building on the attention-based view (ABV) and drawing upon the neuroscience of attentional control. I propose that intentional organizational behavior is shaped by top-down mechanisms of attentional control—organizational goals and logics of action and how these are enacted within internal and external communication channels. These structures and processes moderate the focus of attention within and by organizations\, prioritizing which opportunities and threats are attended to and which action alternatives are selected.\n\nThe theory is supported and further developed by two empirical studies\, one published and one in progress. First\, a comparative analysis of Apple and Motorola's mobile computing strategies reveals how differences in attentional control led to divergent outcomes. Apple\, guided by its identity as a product leader\, sustained focus on combining existing capabilities in computing with newly acquired ones in smartphones\, which enabled successful innovation. Motorola's fragmented attention across divisions\, driven by conflicting goals and unclear direction\, failed to develop a competitive product.\n\nSecond\, the analysis of GAMMA\, a university COVID-19 testing initiative\, demonstrates how attentional control shapes business model adaptation. Drawing on comprehensive archival\, email\, and interview data\, we identify three interacting mechanisms: controlled attentional engagement directing focus toward strategic priorities\, trial-and-error learning through operational experience and stakeholder feedback\, and environmental selection pressures. GAMMA's evolution from technology transfer to integrated testing system illustrates how organizations exercise attentional control while adapting to emerging challenges. More specifically\, we identify a process of cascading attentional control\, where the mission serves as a superordinate goal\, establishing strategic and operational priorities over time and across the organizational hierarchy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Annual Hajja Razia Sheikh Lecture in Islamic Studies
DESCRIPTION:\"Speech Genres in the Qur'an\" - The Annual Hajja Razia Sheikh Lecture in Islamic Studies welcomes Devin Stewart (B.A. Princeton University 1984\, Ph.D. University of Pennsylvania in 1991). Devin teaches in the MESAS Department at Emory University in Atlanta.\n\nThis lecture will focus on the investigation of speech genres in the Qur’anic text. While studies of the Qur’an’s vocabulary\, grammar\, rhetorical figures\, legal rulings\, and theological doctrine produce valuable results\, the study of the genres that occur in the sacred text\, such retorts\, oaths\, curses\, prayers\, proverbs\, parables\, has received only limited attention to date. The lecture will endeavor to show how knowledge of the conventions of particular genres has the potential to explain some of the Qur’an’s most puzzling passages and to shed new light on others.\n\nBeverages and light snacks will be provided. No registration required.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Flow estimation\, control\, and reduced-order modeling in the frequency domain
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: While the dynamics of fluids are most naturally described in the time domain\, e.g.\, velocity fields as a function of space and time\, there are advantages to working in the frequency domain when developing simplified models. This presentation will highlight two recent examples from my group. First\, we have developed a novel flow estimation and control framework based on resolvent analysis\, a popular frequency-domain linear model\, with several advantages over standard methods. When equivalent assumptions are made\, the resolvent-based estimator and controller reproduce the Kalman filter and LQG controller\, respectively\, but at substantially lower computational cost. Unlike these methods\, the resolvent-based approach can naturally accommodate forcing terms (nonlinear terms from Navier-Stokes) with colored-in-time statistics\, which significantly improves the accuracy of the estimates. The framework is demonstrated using a series of aerodynamic problems. Second\, we are developing predictive nonlinear reduced-order models in the frequency domain based on spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD)\, a popular frequency-domain data-mining method. Most model reduction methods for the Navier-Stokes equations and other PDEs spatially reduce the flow state and evolve it forward in time without explicit temporal reduction. In contrast\, our new approach expands the state as a sum of temporal Fourier modes with a data-driven orthogonal basis of SPOD modes at each frequency\, and we derive near-optimal equations governing the unknown scalar expansion coefficients that define the contribution of each mode to the solution over a time interval of interest. We show that this approach significantly outperforms standard time-domain methods for several example problems.\n\nContact:  Silas Alben

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Amazing Eulerian Idempotents -- Combinatorics Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The Eulerian idempotents\, sitting inside the group algebra of the symmetric group\, are a set of pairwise orthogonal idempotents that sum to the identity. They are remarkable for the broad range of contexts within which they arise\, from homological algebra to card shuffling to chromatic polynomials of graphs. In this lecture\, we will introduce the Eulerian idempotents\, discuss some of their algebraic properties and survey some of their many applications.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics MLK Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Nicole Holliday is an Acting Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of California\, Berkeley. Dr. Holliday is a sociophonetician\, specifically interested in how people use linguistic variation to perform and construct their social identities and to understand the identities of others through differences in their use of properties related to intonation and voice quality.  More recently\, she has been focused on the social uses and effects of speech technology\, especially as they relate to the nature of variation and inequality. Dr. Holliday also works on political speech and identity\, with a special focus on Barack Obama and VP Kamala Harris. \n\nHer ongoing research aims to address how speakers and listeners make social judgments based on acoustic properties\, using quantitative methods\, with a concentration on prosodic variables. Nicole Holliday is currently (2020-2025) the PI on a grant entitled ““Don’t Take That Tone With Me”: Linguistic Variation and Disciplinary Action on African American Children in Schools” along with Dr. Sabriya Fisher (Wellesley College). The project is funded by the Lyle Spencer Research Awards. Over the last several years\, she taught Language and Society\, Phonetics and Introduction to Linguistics. Dr. Holliday also taught several semesters of Linguistic Discrimination\, which is conducted in the Inside-Out Prison Exchange Format.\n______________\n\nCOLLOQUIUM TITLE: Sociolinguistic Competence Versus Artificial \"Intelligence\": Variation in the Face of Ubiquitous Large Language Models\n\nABSTRACT: Linguists take it as axiomatic that speakers are experts on their languages\, both in grammar and usage. However\, as Large Language Models (LLM) trained on text and speech become ubiquitous in domains from daily tasks to education and employment\, human expertise about language is increasingly devalued. This talk will present the results of three studies that focus on how LLMs judge and purport to \"fix\" the speech of human talkers\, also known as Social Feedback Speech Technologies (SFSTs). The first study shows how the Amazon Halo\, a wearable device that claims to evaluate \"tone of voice\" does not function as advertised\, and in fact systematically negatively evaluates the speech of Black talkers.  Results of the second study\, which focuses on Read.AI and the Zoom Revenue Accelerator in videoconferencing contexts\, describe how SFSTs reinforce narrow \"standard\" language ideologies and fail to provide actionable\, realistic feedback to users. These systems also provide systematically worse evaluations for black speakers\, as well as those who are neurodivergent. Finally\, the third study analyzes the outputs of \"accent translation\" programs marketed by companies such as Sanas and Krisp\, showing that such programs do not functionally \"translate\" accents but rather transform speech to an imagined “American” variety that is phonetically unnatural. Taken together\, the studies show that \"AI\"-based programs that purport to evaluate human speech do so without consideration of linguistic principles or acknowledgement of speakers' sociolinguistic competencies. Such systems also act without transparency for both designers and users by design\, reproducing social stereotypes inherent to their training data. As a result\, they advise humans to produce unnatural speech\, and they punish speakers who do not conform to the narrow targets established by an LLM's training data. As such technologies are already being used to make employment decisions\, provide speech therapy\, and even draft police reports\, the fact that these systems systematically misevaluate speech represents a significant threat to all human speakers\, most especially those from marginalized groups.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Impossible Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Impossible Conversations is an exhibition and film installation by artists and filmmakers\, Pratāp Rughani and David Chung. The film centers a seemingly impossible dialogue between Arno Michaelis\, a former Neo-Nazi gang founder and Pardeep Kaleka\, son of the Sikh Temple President\, Satwant Singh Kaleka\, one of seven people killed in the shooting attack at the Oak Creek Sikh Temple (Gurudwara) by a white supremacist in 2012. \nThe film installation delves into the journey of Pardeep and Arno\, who\, over more than a decade\, dedicated themselves to restorative communication—listening deeply and seeking to understand the motivations behind each other's actions in the genesis and aftermath of atrocity.\nHow does healing begin? From the toxic polarization\, division and extreme racist violence that resulted in one of the worst mass shootings at a religious site in American history\, Pardeep insists that complete healing must eventually be a collective process for all\, to liberate both sides.\nThis event will include a screening\, followed by a conversation with the central figures in the film\, Pardeep Kaleka and Arno Michaelis\; the filmmakers\, David Chung and Pratāp Rughani\; and the exhibition curator\, Srimoyee Mitra.\nPardeep Kaleka is an advocate\, educator\, and author dedicated to fostering understanding and unity across diverse communities. As the Executive Director of the Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee\, he promotes dialogue and collaboration among faith groups to combat hate and bigotry. Pardeep’s work is deeply rooted in personal experience\, following the tragic 2012 Sikh Temple shooting in Oak Creek\, Wisconsin\, where he lost his father. In response\, he co-founded Serve 2 Unite\, a peacebuilding organization that engages youth in countering hate through service and creativity.\nArno Michaelis is a peace activist\, author\, and speaker dedicated to promoting compassion and understanding. Once a founding member of a white supremacist group\, Michaelis transformed his life through the power of forgiveness\, human connection\, and his role as a single father. Today\, he works to combat hate and violence\, drawing from his personal journey to inspire positive change. Michaelis is the author of My Life After Hate\, and has worked with Serve 2 Unite\, an organization that engages young people of all backgrounds as peacemakers.\nDavid Chung is an acclaimed visual artist and filmmaker. His work focuses on how identities are shaped in immigrant communities and the challenges of refugees as they integrate into new homelands. Chung has exhibited his drawings\, prints\, and video installations at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts\, the Asia Society\, the Walker Arts Center\, the Studio Museum in Harlem\, the Gwangju Biennale\, the Smithsonian Institution\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Chung has received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and the National Board Film Board of Canada’s Award for Best Documentary Film. Chung is a professor and the director of the MFA Graduate Program at the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art &amp\; Design.\nPratāp Rughani is a writer and non-fiction filmmaker. His work develops documentary practice to enable people of radically different perspectives to connect\, sometimes in the aftermath of violence and atrocity. Configuring a pro-filmic space to enable shared ​“witnessing” and the path towards restorative justice is a driving force in ​“Impossible Conversations” evolving through his practice in over thirty documentary films and exhibitions for BBC TV\, Channel 4\, Modern Art Oxford\, galleries and activist groups. The ethics of giving sustained attention to the experiences of marginalized\, excluded or sometimes reviled ​“others” and bringing them in relationship to the broader culture is central to his research into ethics of storytelling and the development of ​“Restorative Narrative.” Rughani is Professor of Documentary Practices at the University of the Arts\, London.\nSrimoyee Mitra is an award-winning curator and writer whose work is invested in building empathy and mutual respect among diverse communities through exhibitions\, discussions and publications. She has worked as a curator and artist writer in Canada and India and is published widely in journals and exhibition catalogs. She is the author of Border Cultures (Black Dog Publishing 2015)\, and Stephanie Dinkins: On Love &amp\; Data (University of Michigan Press\, 2024)\, and is the Director of Stamps Gallery at the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art &amp\; Design.\nPresented in partnership with the University of Michigan Stamps Gallery. This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\nImpossible Conversations is generously supported by the Arts Research: Incubation &amp\; Acceleration (ARIA) program of The University of Michigan Office of the Vice President Research and the Arts Initiative\, Institute of Firearm Prevention Pilot Grant\, the Stamps School of Art and Design\, and the University of the Arts London. \nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Vocal Master Class: Martha Guth and Erika Switzer
DESCRIPTION:This master class focused on vocal performance is presented by guest artists Martha Guth\, soprano\, and Erika Switzer\, piano\, as part of a residency with the Department of Voice & Opera. Free and open to the public.\n\nJuno nominated soprano MARTHA GUTH regularly presents concerts and recitals at major venues which include Wigmore Hall\, Lincoln Center\, The National Cathedral\, Ravinia\, and both Oxford Song and Leeds Lieder. Her interpretations have been called “Magical” (*Opera Now*)\; “Truly amazing” (*Montreal Gazette*) and “Thrilling” (*Globe and Mail*)\, and her concerts have been recorded and broadcast by the CBC Radio/Radio Canada\, the BBC and the WDR in Germany.  \n\nAs a young artist Martha won first prize at both the Wigmore Hall International Song Competition and the Concours Musical International de Montréal\, launching a performance career specializing in concert and song repertoire. Her deep interest in art song led her to co-found Sparks & Wiry Cries with pianist Erika Switzer\, a non-profit dedicated to art song spanning publication\, live performance\, and commission of new works. Her discography includes *Summer Night*\, a Juno nominated disc of songs by Healy Willan on Centrediscs\; *Das Ewig Weibliche*\, a solo disc of Schubert songs with Penelope Crawford on fortepiano\; Roberto Sierra’s *Beyond the Silence of Sorrow* with the Orquesta Sinfonica de Puerto Rico for Naxos (nominated for a 2016 Latin GRAMMY)\; John Fitz-Roger’s *Magna Mysteria* for the Innova label\; *Go by Contraries*\, songs of Andrew Staniland with baritone Tyler Duncan and pianist Erika Switzer released on Centre Discs. Forthcoming is a disc for Naxos of Mendelssohn’s *Lobgesang* with the Yakima Symphony.\n\nMartha is Assistant Professor of Voice at Ithaca College\, has been Co-Artistic Director of SongFest and Director of its Composer/Mentorship program and remains on faculty there. She has spent three summers on faculty at the Vocal Academy for The Collaborative Piano Institute and presented lectures\, masterclasses and recitals at dozens of major universities throughout North America specializing in song literature spanning the 19th century to today.\n\nERIKA SWITZER is an accomplished collaborative pianist who performs regularly in major concert settings around the world\, including at New York’s Weill Hall (Carnegie)\, Geffen Hall\, Frick Collection\, and Bargemusic\, at the Kennedy Center\, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society\, the Spoleto Festival (Charleston\, SC). Her performances have been called “precise and lucid” by the *New York Times*\, and Renaud Machart of *Le Monde* described her as “one of the best collaborative pianists I have ever heard\; her sound is deep\, her interpretation intelligent\, refined\, and captivating.”\n\nFrom 2000-2007\, Switzer performed and studied in Germany\, an experience that profoundly inspired and shaped her work. During that time\, she appeared at Festspielhaus Baden-Baden and in the Munich Winners & Masters series and won numerous awards\, including best pianist prizes at the Robert Schumann\, Hugo Wolf\, and Wigmore Hall International Song Competitions.\n\nSwitzer has long been a leader in envisioning and promoting the future of art song performance. In 2009\, in collaboration with soprano Martha Guth\, she founded the organization Sparks & Wiry Cries\, which commissions new works\, presents the *song*SLAM festival in New York City\, and publishes *The Art Song Magazine*. She is also devoted to new music\, and has recently premiered new compositions at the 5 Boroughs Music Festival\, Brooklyn Art Song Society\; and Vancouver’s Music on Main. \n\nSwitzer collaborates with a range of top singers. A frequent collaborator is baritone Tyler Duncan\, and as a duo\, Switzer and Duncan have performed in major concert halls and music festivals around the world. She is also an active teacher\, serving on the music faculty at Bard College and Conservatory of Music. Switzer holds a doctorate from The Juilliard School and lives in New York’s Hudson Valley.\n\nhttps://www.sparksandwirycries.org/

SUMMARY:Performance:Etienne Charles | Earth Tones
DESCRIPTION:Trinidad-born jazz musician\, composer\, and storyteller Etienne Charles continuously searches for untold stories and the sounds with which to tell them.\n\nHis lush trumpet sound\, varied compositional textures\, and pulsating percussive grooves soothe and excite listeners while referencing thought-provoking and challenging subjects in his music. His illuminating San Juan Hill: A New York Story was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic to open David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center\, cementing his reputation for creating meaningful multimedia works that connect music with place and history. Earth Tones\, which receives its world premiere in April 2024\, is a multimedia jazz performance featuring original compositions that draw attention to people and regions that are\, or soon will be\, severely affected by climate change.\n\nThe performance invites us into a sensory journey that includes sounds\, stories\, and musical idioms from at-risk coastal communities\, with images and short films of disappearing mangrove swamps\, coral reefs\, oyster beds\, seagrass\, sand dunes\, and mud volcanoes. Featuring musicians from the very communities most at risk\, the performance balances blunt reality\, eternal optimism\, and surrealism\, ultimately offering an exhortation to address climate change’s impact on our future.\n\nFeatured Artists:\nEtienne Charles\, music director\, trumpet\, and percussion\nMarcus Strickland\, woodwinds\nWarren Wolf\, vibraphone\, marimba\, and piano\nEva Scow\, mandolin\nJorge Glem\, cuatro\nJonathon Muir-Cotton\, bass\nVal Jeanty\, turntables and percussion\nJohn Davis\, drums

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Valerie Traub Retirement Conference - Knowledge Relations: A Conference on Historical Epistemologies\, Emerging Methodologies\, Contemporary Practices
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, January 17\, 12:00pm - 6:00pm\nSaturday\, January 18\, 10:00am - 8:00pm\n\nThe last several years have seen a flourishing of work on historical epistemology\, as scholars ask how we know what we think we know about the cultural artifacts we analyze. This work has entailed rethinking foundational methodologies like genealogy\, philology\, phenomenology\, and humanism\, as well as influential critical paradigms developed in the 1980s and 90s such as feminist and queer studies. At the same time\, we have seen a flourishing of new critical methodologies\, including disability studies\, trans studies\, environmental studies\, global studies\, digital humanities\, and critical race studies. \n\nInspired by the scholarship and mentorship of Valerie Traub\, this conference brings these critical trends into conversation to think about how the questioning\, revising\, and renewing of older critical methodologies relates to the emergence of new critical methodologies and their effect on our modes of inquiry. How\, we ask\, is our knowledge of the past shaped by the methods of our inquiries and the networks in which we practice them? How do we build on earlier critical efforts even as we critique them? Who has been included and excluded in our knowledge relations with various periods\, specific topics\, disciplines and institutions? \n\nThis conference will bring together over two dozen leading scholars and teachers alongside professionals in related fields to reflect on the past and future of our intellectual practices\, including how we can and do impact contemporary culture outside of academia. The conference will feature new work from scholars in performance studies\, critical race studies\, empire studies\, new philology\, trans studies\, and disability studies\, among others. It will explore the opportunities for synergies both topical and professional. By bringing a diverse range of practitioners together\, Knowledge Relations explores how we might make the past and the future\, together. \n\nSPEAKERS:\nMisty Anderson\, Abdulhamit Arvas\, Amanda Bailey\, Tiffany Ball\, Gina Bloom\, Andrew Bozio\, Theresa Braunschneider\, Hannah Bredar\, Katherine Steele Brokaw\, Lauren Eriks Cline\, Amrita Dhar\, Holly Dugan\, Will Fisher\, Ari Friedlander\, Joey Gamble\, Rebecca Hixon\, Gavin Hollis\, Sarah Linwick\, Maureen McDonnell\, Cecilia Morales\, Amy Rodgers\, Marjorie Rubright\, Stephen Spiess\, Aaron Stone\, Chad Thomas\, Kathryn Will\, and Laura Williamson.\n\nhttps://sites.google.com/umass.edu/knowledge-relations/home

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Impossible Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Impossible Conversations is an exhibition and film installation by artists and filmmakers\, Pratāp Rughani and David Chung. The film centers a seemingly impossible dialogue between Arno Michaelis\, a former Neo-Nazi gang founder and Pardeep Kaleka\, son of the Sikh Temple President\, Satwant Singh Kaleka\, one of seven people killed in the shooting attack at the Oak Creek Sikh Temple (Gurudwara) by a white supremacist in 2012. \n \nThe film installation explores what happens when – for over a decade – Pardeep and Arno committed to a path of restorative communication - to listen deeply and connect with what motivates each other in the genesis and aftermath of atrocity.\nHow does healing begin? From the toxic polarization\, division and extreme racist violence that resulted in one of the worst mass shootings at a religious site in American history\, Pardeep insists that complete healing must eventually be a collective process for all\, to liberate both sides.\nAt Stamps Gallery\, Impossible Conversations will be accompanied by a dialogue and research room as well as photomurals that expand on the themes of restorative justice\, gun violence\, and how to sustain difficult dialogues to combat extremism and toxic polarization. \nExhibition curated by Srimoyee Mitra. Impossible Conversations has been supported in part by the Arts Research: Incubation &amp\; Acceleration (ARIA) program of The University of Michigan Office of the Vice President Research and the Arts Initiative\, Institute of Firearm Prevention Pilot Grant\, the Stamps School of Art and Design\, and the University of the Arts London. \nExhibition Programs\nAn Opening Screening\, Talkback\, and Reception will take place on Friday\, January 17\, 2025 from 5:30 – 8 p.m.\, and a Symposium will take place on Saturday\, January 18\, 2025 from 10 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. \nAbout the Artists\nPratāp Rughani is a writer and non-fiction filmmaker. His work develops documentary practice to enable people of radically different perspectives come into relation\, sometimes in the aftermath of violence and atrocity for example in South Africa\, Aboriginal Australia\, Europe\, Rwanda and the USA. Configuring a pro-filmic space to enable shared “witnessing” and the path towards restorative justice is a driving force in “Impossible Conversations” evolving through his practice in over thirty documentary films and exhibitions for BBC TV\, Channel 4\, Modern Art Oxford\, galleries and activist groups. The ethics of giving sustained attention to the experiences of marginalized\, excluded or sometimes reviled “others” and bringing them in relationship to the broader culture is central to his research into ethics of storytelling and the development of “Restorative Narrative.”\nRughani writes widely on the ethics of creative practice\, serves on several editorial Boards\, has won awards for film\, teaching\, and research\, and is Professor of Documentary Practices at the University of the Arts\, London.\nDavid Chung is an acclaimed visual artist and filmmaker. His work focuses on how identities are shaped in immigrant communities and the challenges of refugees as they integrate into new homelands.\nChung has exhibited his drawings\, prints\, and video installations at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts\, the Asia Society\, the Walker Arts Center\, the Studio Museum in Harlem\, the Gwangju Biennale\, the Smithsonian Institution\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Chung has received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and the National Board Film Board of Canada's Award for Best Documentary Film. He was the 2013 Kim Koo Visiting Professor at Harvard University. \nChung is a professor and the director of the MFA Graduate Program at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art &amp\; Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Stampede
DESCRIPTION:Born from their passion for the arts\, The Stampede is a student-led organization building a new space for artists. In September 2023\, four undergraduates united with a simple mission: to create a space for showcasing exciting new art work. They established a foundation and worked to build a buzz through outreach and excitement. The Stampede first hosted a pop-up exhibition (party) at a friend's house\, exhibiting 53 pieces of original work\, with food\, drink\, and music\, and a smashing turnout from the local community. They have since evolved\, developed an infrastructure\, and grown into a platform for dynamic art work.\nToday\, The Stampede curates and facilitates exhibitions and events that bring together artists\, writers\, and musicians. From pop-ups and art markets to concerts and gallery shows\, they provide a vibrant platform for creativity for the community. The organization has broken new ground on multiple accounts to pave new ways for artists today and tomorrow\; bridging the divide between student and school. Functioning as an artist collective\, The Stampede focus on creating large-scale artworks\, promotional materials\, and merchandise for their events.\nThis exhibition offers a glimpse behind the scenes of The Stampede: its origins\, current endeavors\, and future aspirations. Since its inception\, The Stampede has continuously surprised with its growth and transformation. Committed to providing opportunities for artists\, they will keep hosting events for their community and friends.\nJoin The Stampede in their journey\; they invite you to... RUN WITH US!

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).

SUMMARY:Presentation:Discovery Demo: All About Owls
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Science Forum for a 15-20 minute engaging science demonstration that will help you see the world in a whole new way. Demonstrations are free and appropriate for visitors ages 5 and above. Schedule subject to change.\n\nExplore the unseen lives of owls in this hands-on demonstration. Together\, we will use museum specimens to learn about some of owls’ unique adaptations\, like big eyes\, specialized ears\, quiet wings\, and sharp claws. What do these adaptations tell us about how owls eat? How are these modern raptors related to dinosaurs? Find out what an owl pellet is (Hint: it's not poop!) and dissect a real owl pellet to learn about the owl's diet. Come and discover the role of these birds of prey in the food chain!\n\nSpecial demos on February 15 and 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Igniting Growth
DESCRIPTION:January 8-20\, 2025\nReception: Thursday\, January 9\, 4:30-6:00 pm\nDuderstadt Center Gallery\n\nGrowth can come from outside inspiration\, life experiences\, pain\, illness\, etc. This interactive exhibit is not just a display of art and music but an experiment focusing on the creative process and how inspiration may affect and alter that process. As artists\, we find the constant need to evolve and grow. We can become complacent in our ideas. This is when inspiration from a different book\, or music or other source can ignite a new direction/phase in our life. \n\nThis is an interactive exhibit\, bring your earbuds and smartphone to enjoy the full experience.
