SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Subject Matters: Is It Clay?
DESCRIPTION:Is it clay? Is it wood? Is it… cake? Ceramics in Asian art can be experimental\, ingenious\, and sometimes just downright surprising. From vessels that mimic fabric to sculptures that defy what clay should be able to do\, artists across Asia have spent centuries pushing this humble material into extraordinary forms. \n \nJoin UMMA Curator Dave Choberka and UMMA Curator of Asian Art Natsu Oyobe for a discussion about the history of UMMA’s Asian Art collection through the lens of clay: how it was shaped\, traded\, transformed\, and elevated into one of the most influential artistic traditions in the world. This 90-minute Subject Matters event uncovers a dazzling history of UMMA’s Asian Art collection.  ​ Featuring special guest Kara Ma\, Chinese art research specialist\, and UMMA’s program manager for the Chinese Object Study Workshops. \n

SUMMARY:Film Screening:The Watermelon Woman
DESCRIPTION:The wry\, incisive debut feature by Cheryl Dunye gave cinema something bracingly new and groundbreaking: a vibrant representation of Black lesbian identity by a Black lesbian filmmaker. Dunye stars as Cheryl\, a video-store clerk and aspiring director whose interest in forgotten Black actresses leads her to investigate an obscure 1930s performer known as the Watermelon Woman\, whose story proves to have surprising resonances with Cheryl’s own life as she navigates a new relationship.\n\nThe film screening will be followed by a community conversation with professors SaraEllen Strongman (Afroamerican and African Studies)\, Lydia Kelow-Bennett (Afroamerican and African Studies)\, and graduate student Sydney Tunstall (English and Women's and Gender Studies). Moderated by Symone Campbell.\n\nFree and open to the public. No ticket necessary. *First 20 attendees receive a free popcorn!*

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flyover Country: DIY Music Flyer Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Flyover Country brings together physical reproductions of ephemera and other media from the underground and independent music scenes of the lower Great Lakes region\, spanning from the early 1980s to today. \n\nIn an era when both paper ephemera and digital creations are increasingly fragile and often fleeting\, this exhibit invites viewers to encounter materials not only as sources of information\, but as rare\, expressive artwork shaped by the people\, places\, and moments that produced them.\n\nThe exhibit documents how youth in rural and suburban Midwestern communities have used the tools available to them to build connection\, resilience\, and creative identity\, particularly among artists and musicians from marginalized or underrepresented groups.\n\nYou're invited to take part in drop-in art events to create your own collage-based artwork.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Currently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tukilile Vaa
DESCRIPTION:Kaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through November 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (September 12 - November 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Poetic Voice from a Russian Prison: Zhenya Berkovich and her Striking Protest
DESCRIPTION:On April 10\, 2023\, experimental director Zhenya Berkovich and playwright Svetlana Petrichuk were arrested in Russia on charges of “justifying terrorism.” Russian authorities accused them of spreading terrorist propaganda through their play \"Finist\, the Bright Falcon\,\" which through a documentary-style performance attempts to understand what motivated the choices of Russian women\, who met ISIS militants online and traveled to Syria to marry them.\n   \n   Despite the play’s success and numerous awards\, Berkovich and Petrichuk were sentenced to six years in a penal colony. While still in pretrial detention\, Berkovich wrote a cheerful children's book called “Pets\,” in which the characters are animals that inhabit the prison: crows\, rats\, and even cockroaches. From the penal colony\, she continues to send poems and texts filled with observations and hope to the outside world.\n   \n   In this lecture\, journalist and playwright Anna Narinskaya will talk about what Zhenya Berkovich's voice means in today's Russia and beyond.\n   \n   Anna Narinskaya is a Russian journalist\, playwright\, art curator\, and activist.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Material Conversations: A Focus on Glass
DESCRIPTION:Catie Newell\, professor of architecture at Taubman College and founding principal of Alibi Studio\, will speak about her work exploring the illuminative qualities of glass through form\, color\, and transparency demonstrated through site-specific works and material research.\n\nNewell's most recent work explores glass as a building unit that both transforms and modulates light. Light Forms are \"cast glass modules that work architecturally\, allowing light to transfer through them\, aggregating together several different tessellations to make spaces with different textures and optical qualities.\"\n\nYou will soon see Light Forms in action\, in \"Inhabiting Light\" at Magnolia Glade in Nichols Arboretum.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mathematical Biology Seminar: How much data is needed to validate multiscale models of viral infections?
DESCRIPTION:Uncertainty in parameter estimates from fitting mathematical models to empirical data limits the model’s ability to uncover mechanisms of interaction. Understanding the effect of model structure and data availability on model predictions is important for informing model development and experimental design. To address sources of uncertainty in parameter estimation\, I will present methodologies that can help determine when a model can reveal its parameters. I will apply them in the context of virus infections in animals and humans at within-host\, population\, and multiscale levels.  Using these approaches\, I will provide insight into the sources of uncertainty and provide guidelines for the types of model assumptions\, optimal experimental design\, and biological information needed for improved predictions.\n\nThis seminar is hybrid: meeting in Weiser 296 and via Zoom:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/97725897086\nMeeting ID: 977 2589 7086\nPasscode: mathbio

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MPSDS / JPSM Seminar Series:  Sensitivity Analyses for Nonignorable Selection Bias When Estimating Subgroup Parameters in Nonprobability Samples: A Weighting Approach
DESCRIPTION:MPSDS / JPSM Seminar Series\nMPSDS M3 Series: Mastery\, Methodology\, Meetups\n\nIn person\, room 1070 Institute for Social Research\, and via Zoom. \nThe Zoom call will be locked 10 minutes after the start of the presentation.\n\nSensitivity Analyses for Nonignorable Selection Bias When Estimating Subgroup Parameters in Nonprobability Samples: A Weighting Approach\n\nSelection bias in survey estimates is a major concern\, affecting both nonprobability samples and probability samples with low response rates. The proxy-pattern mixture model (PPMM) offers a method for conducting a sensitivity that assumes a nonignorable selection mechanism\, where selection depends on survey outcomes of interest. This approach requires summary-level auxiliary information for the target population of interest from a reference data source. While PPMM methods have been successfully applied to derive overall population-level estimates\, extension to domain-level estimates is challenging when population-level summaries for the specific subgroup are unavailable. This occurs when the domain indicator is observed only in the survey\, or for complex intersectional subgroups where stable/reliable population-level auxiliary variable estimates are unavailable. To combat this issue\, we propose a novel approach: creating nonignorable selection weights based on the PPMM based on a re-expression of the PPMM as a selection model. These weights can be directly applied to calculate domain-level estimates\, circumventing the need for domain-specific population-level summaries of auxiliary variables. They rely on a single sensitivity parameter (ranging from 0 to 1) that captures a spectrum of nonresponse assumptions\, ranging from an ignorable mechanism to an extreme nonignorable mechanism. We discuss differences in weight construction for continuous versus binary outcomes\, describe the necessary assumptions for these weights to produce informative domain-level estimates\, and illustrate properties through simulation. We then apply the approach to the Census Household Pulse Survey to estimate various subgroup quantities under a range of assumptions on the selection mechanism.\n\nRebecca R. Andridge\, PhD\nThe Ohio State University\nCollege of Public Health\, Division of Biostatistics\nAssociate Dean for Undergraduate Studies\nProfessor of Biostatistics\n\nDr. Andridge's research is focused on imputation methods for missing data\, primarily when missingness is driven by the missing values themselves (missing not at random)\, and on measures of selection bias for nonprobability samples. She also works on statistical challenges that arise in analysis of data from group-randomized trials. She collaborates with researchers across campus\, including the Institute for Behavioral Medicine Research\, the Nisonger Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities\, and The OSU Comprehensive Cancer Center\, and serves as Lead Methodologist for several state-sponsored population-based surveys.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Power and Partnerships in Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Developing equitable and mutually beneficial partnerships with community members and organizations requires taking a critical look at how power operates in university-community partnerships. This interactive workshop will introduce participants to key principles of equity-focused community engagement and discuss how relationships of power shape university-community partnerships for research and student learning. We’ll consider how power operates in such areas as: the structure and terms of partnership agreements\, participation dynamics in university-community projects\, and funding/compensation. Participants will generate strategies for re-shaping inequitable power dynamics\, share insights with colleagues\, and identify ways to apply key principles to their own community-engaged work. \n\nThis session is designed especially for participants who are involved in (or interested in) community-engaged research\, teaching & learning\, project/program administration\, and/or campus initiatives at Michigan. \n\nOpen to faculty\, staff\, admin\, and post-docs. Graduate students who are interested in attending can email ginsberginfo@umich.edu for more information.\n\nThis session is not open to undergraduate students.\n\nRegister: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/104215

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: Leading for Wellness: How to Create a Team Culture Where Everyone Thrives\nKatina Sawyer\nWednesday\, January 28\, 2026\n1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required to obtain login information\nOnline\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/2rQpD\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nA troubling trend is emerging in today’s workplace: employee morale and overall satisfaction are in sharp decline\, despite companies investing more in wellness initiatives than ever before. What’s missing? Contrary to popular beliefs and large investments from companies\, “add-on” offerings like wellness classes\, mindfulness training\, and healthy lifestyle initiatives are not perceived as helpful for improving employee wellness. Many organizations misunderstand wellness―it’s not a program or a box to check. Instead\, employees’ actual day-to-day experiences at work and interactions with their leaders are far more important than wellness programs or initiatives. \n\nLearn about a science-backed blueprint for fostering healthier\, more productive work environments rooted in actionable steps for leaders to become “Generators”―the leaders organizations and employees value most who cultivate genuine connections\, create a positive team culture\, and help employees achieve their work and life goals. Gain a clear\, data-driven path forward and a concrete plan to turn the session’s insights into action―to become the Generators you and others have the potential to be. \n\nAbout Sawyer:\nDr. Katina Sawyer is an internationally recognized expert on the science of workplace wellness. She is the co-author of \"Leading for Wellness: How to Create a Team Culture Where Everyone Thrives\" and co-host of the Leading for Wellness podcast\, which brings research-backed insights to people passionate about building thriving workplaces. As co-founder of Workr Beeing\, Dr. Sawyer is on a mission to make evidence-based wellness strategies accessible to employees everywhere. \n\nA TEDx speaker and a thought leader featured in Harvard Business Review\, Forbes\, Fast Company\, and other major outlets\, Dr. Sawyer has delivered hundreds of presentations to audiences around the world. Her expertise has also been showcased on both local and national news\, where she brings clarity and inspiration to conversations about what it takes to foster wellbeing at work. \n\nDr. Sawyer is also an award-winning researcher and an Associate Professor of Management and Organizations at the University of Arizona’s Eller College of Management. She has published over 50 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters — which focus on leadership\, employee flourishing\, and organizational culture — many of which have been published in top journals such as Journal of Applied Psychology and Administrative Science Quarterly. Katina has received over 15 national research and teaching awards\, including the SIOP Early Career Award for Humanistic I-O Psychology\, the University of Michigan’s Positive Organizational Scholarship Publication of the Year\, and Philadelphia’s 40 Under 40 distinction. \n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Programmable Topology in Hybrid Light-Matter Systems
DESCRIPTION:Quantum geometry has emerged as a new framework that unites different disciplines and underpins novel transport and nonlinear phenomena in topological states of matter. In this colloquium\, I will discuss an emerging system for topological studies: designable hybrid light-matter fluids. By integration of 2D material excitations — such as moiré excitons and Fermi polarons — with engineered photonic crystals\, we create a platform where topology can be designed and dynamically controlled.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Trees and SL2
DESCRIPTION:A common theme in mathematics is to understand algebraic objects using their actions on geometric spaces. Bass—Serre theory is one instance of this approach where one studies groups via their actions on trees. I will give an introduction to the simplest case of Bass—Serre theory and build a dictionary between gluing of spaces\, amalgamation of groups\, and actions on trees. This dictionary gives us a surprising amount of information about the structure of groups\, especially about their torsion subgroups. I will demonstrate this by applying the theory to SL2(Z)\, SL2(Q_p)\, and SL2(F_p((t))).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: On the P=C conjecture
DESCRIPTION:I will introduce the P=C conjecture which is an analogue of the P=W conjecture in the setting of a del Pezzo surface S. The main character of the conjecture is the moduli space M of one-dimensional sheaves on S. The perverse filtration records the topology of the Hitchin-type fibration\, while the Chern filtration records the shape of tautological relations. The perverse filtration is of particular interest because it conjecturally categorifies the Gopakumar-Vafa invariants of a local Calabi-Yau 3-fold. This is a joint work with Y. Kononov\, M. Moreira\, W. Pi.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Convergence Analysis of Discrete Sampling in Continuous-Time Reinforcement Learning and High-Dimensional Numerical Integration
DESCRIPTION:Stochastic policies (also known as relaxed controls) are widely used in continuous-time Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms. However\, a critical disconnect remains between theory and practice. The theoretical aggregated dynamics\, driven by averaged coefficients\, provide a convenient basis for deriving RL algorithms but cannot be directly implemented. Physical execution requires the agent to sample concrete actions from the policy. Since continuously sampling independent actions poses significant mathematical and computational challenges\, practical implementation must rely on discrete sampling. Yet\, for general diffusion processes\, the accuracy of such discretely sampled dynamics has lacked rigorous theoretical justification.\n\nIn this talk\, I will bridge this gap by introducing and rigorously analyzing a policy execution framework that samples actions from a stochastic policy at discrete time points and implements them as piecewise constant controls. We prove that as the sampling mesh size tends to zero\, the controlled state process converges weakly to the dynamics with coefficients aggregated according to the stochastic policy. We explicitly quantify the convergence rate based on the regularity of the coefficients and establish an optimal first-order convergence rate for sufficiently regular coefficients. Additionally\, we prove a 1/2-order weak convergence rate that holds uniformly over the sampling noise with high probability\, and establish a 1/2-order pathwise convergence for each realization of the system noise in the absence of volatility control. Building on these results\, we analyze the bias and variance of various policy evaluation and policy gradient estimators based on discrete-time observations. Our results provide theoretical justification for the exploratory stochastic control framework in [H. Wang\, T. Zariphopoulou\, and X.Y. Zhou\, J. Mach. Learn. Res.\, 21 (2020)\, pp. 1-34].\n\nFinally\, I will also briefly discuss my research on Quasi-Monte Carlo sampling methods for efficient computation in high-dimensional numerical integration.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probability/Analysis Circle: Change of Variables - From Symmetric Matrices to Eigenvalues
DESCRIPTION:This is the second meeting of the Probability/Analysis Circle\, a new event for juniors\, seniors\, and master’s students interested in probability and analysis. Eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix are complicated functions of the matrix’s entries. If we view the mapping from the entries of a symmetric matrix to its eigenvalues and eigenvectors as a change of variables\, what is the Jacobian? We will compute it for the 2x2 case and discuss the general nxn case. Then\, we’ll use this formula to explore the distribution of random eigenvalues for certain random symmetric matrices. Students are expected to know multivariable calculus.

SUMMARY:Other:QMSS Community Hours: Winter 2026
DESCRIPTION:QMSS Community Hours are open to all students as a place to build community\, work\, study\, and get help & support from QMSS Peer Mentors and GSIs.\n\nQMSS Community Hours are designed to be a casual\, supportive\, weekly community-building and open study hours event for students in the QMSS Community (i.e.\, students previously or currently enrolled in any QMSS courses\, declared QMSS minors\, and student friends of the QMSS program). QMSS Community Hours are a supplement to traditional office hours during which students can come to chat with QMSS Peer Mentors\, make friends in the QMSS program\, and work independently or in groups on problem sets\, projects\, and/or exam studying.\n\nDuring Community Hours\, 1-2 GSIs from each QMSS 201 and QMSS 301 course will be present for at least 1 hour for potential student questions\, and there will be plenty of open space to work on your own or with friends without a GSI if that's what you prefer. QMSS Peer Mentors will always be present for the entire event to chat about navigating the QMSS minor\, finding\, applying for\, and getting offers for summer internships that utilize QMSS skills\, life as a student at the University of Michigan\, or anything else they've been thinking about lately and seeking additional support or resources for!\n\nOpen to all students! Light snacks will be provided & soft coffee house-style background music will be played during the events.\n\nThe image alt-text of the Winter 2026 QMSS Community Hours schedule is as follows:\n- Wednesday\, January 14 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, January 20 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, January 28 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, February 3 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, February 11 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, February 17 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, February 25 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, March 10 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, March 18 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, March 24 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, April 1 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, April 7 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, April 15 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, April 21 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flyover Country: DIY Music Flyer Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Flyover Country brings together physical reproductions of ephemera and other media from the underground and independent music scenes of the lower Great Lakes region\, spanning from the early 1980s to today. \n\nIn an era when both paper ephemera and digital creations are increasingly fragile and often fleeting\, this exhibit invites viewers to encounter materials not only as sources of information\, but as rare\, expressive artwork shaped by the people\, places\, and moments that produced them.\n\nThe exhibit documents how youth in rural and suburban Midwestern communities have used the tools available to them to build connection\, resilience\, and creative identity\, particularly among artists and musicians from marginalized or underrepresented groups.\n\nYou're invited to take part in drop-in art events to create your own collage-based artwork. Art supplies\, as well as some light refreshments\, will be provided during the drop-in events.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Currently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tukilile Vaa
DESCRIPTION:Kaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through November 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (September 12 - November 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Haoran Li
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nRNA sequencing has been widely applied for gene isoform quantification\, but limitations exist in quantifying isoforms of complex genes accurately\, especially for short reads. Here we identify genes that are difficult to quantify accurately with short reads and illustrate the information benefit of using long reads to quantify these regions. We present miniQuant\, which ranks genes with quantification errors caused by the ambiguity of read alignments and integrates the complementary strengths of long reads and short reads with optimal combination in a gene- and data-specific manner to achieve more accurate quantification. These results are supported by rigorous mathematical proofs\, validated with a wide range of simulation data\, experimental validations and more than 17\,000 public datasets from GTEx\, TCGA and ENCODE consortia. We demonstrate miniQuant can uncover isoform switches during the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells to pharyngeal endoderm and primordial germ cell-like cells.\n\nAbout the DCMB Tools & Technology Seminar Series\n\nThe DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar Series is held in Medical Science Building 1 (MS1)\, Room 4B700\, each Thursday at 12pm EST. Each seminar highlights a computational tool\, technology\, or methodology that is under development or in current use and is of special interest to DCMB and University researchers. Presenters are U-M researchers and students.\n\nThese seminars are live-streamed and recorded and made available for future viewing via the DCMB YouTube Channel

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Foundations of Modern Physics (FOMP) | Can a scientific field survive on pursuit-worthiness alone?
DESCRIPTION:Most recent theories in fundamental physics have remained without empirical confirmation of their core characteristic predictions for very long periods of time. Examples range from theories of quantum gravity such as string theory\, over cosmological theories such as inflation\, to BSM theories such as low energy supersymmetry. In some cases\, high hopes of discovery were not fulfilled or announcements of discovery turned out ill-founded. One response to this series of disappointments\, both in physics and the philosophy of physics\, has been an endorsement of scientific agnosticism. In experimental physics\, this position amounts to emphasizing experimental strategies that are as little theory driven as possible. In theoretical physics\, it amounts to avoiding any open declaration of trust in their theory by those working on theories that have not found conclusive empirical testing. In the philosophy of science\, it amounts to focusing on reasons for a theory’s pursuit-worthiness rather than arguments for its viability.\n\nIn this talk\, I aim to show that the described tendency is based on a misreading of the recent history of physics\, is conceptually unsatisfactory\, and may\, in the long run\, carry serious risks for fundamental physics. Based on the presented reasoning\, I propose an alternative perspective on the current situation in fundamental physics.\n\nContact: Francisco Calderón\, fcalder@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MICDE - Mechanical Engineering Seminar - Elif Ertekin\, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Predictive materials simulation has long been rooted in first-principles descriptions of physical mechanisms\, grounded in quantum mechanics but limited by tractable length scales\, sampling challenges\, and the accuracy-cost tradeoff. Today\, machine-learning methods seek to transform materials science by revealing patterns in data extending beyond conventional modeling. My talk will explore how these two paradigms\, mechanistic simulation and data-driven learning\, can act synergistically to accelerate materials discovery and understanding. I will begin by outlining what first-principles simulations can currently achieve and where their limitations arise\, using examples from our work in thermoelectrics\, wide-band-gap semiconductors\, ion-transport materials\, and structural alloys. Building on this foundation\, I will show how machine-learning approaches\, when designed with materials-specific considerations such as symmetries and invariances\, can enhance traditional methods. Examples include symmetry-aware generative models for inorganic crystalline solids and machine-learning solutions to the many-body electronic-structure problem that rival high-accuracy quantum methods. Together\, these examples highlight how integrating mechanisms and patterns can help advance predictive materials simulations.\n\n\nBio: Elif Ertekin is an Andersen Faculty Scholar\, Associate Professor\, and Associate Head for Graduate Programs in the Mechanical Science and Engineering Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Climate Change Advocacy and Engagement
DESCRIPTION:In response to environmental challenges\, advocacy organizations are seeking optimal ways to increase public engagement. In this talk\, Prof. Hart will discuss how different message strategies may amplify or attenuate public engagement. Prof. Hart will first present findings from recent studies investigating how positive and negative sentiments in advocacy messages\, delivered via email and Facebook\, relate to public engagement. The studies reveal that for low-effort engagement\, positive sentiment is associated with more engagement. However\, for high-effort engagement\, negative sentiment is associated with more engagement\, whereas positive sentiment is associated with less. Prof. Hart will also share results from an experiment examining how news articles discussing climate change's unequal impacts\, based on race versus class\, affect beliefs and support for action. Overall\, White participants and those with high levels of symbolic racism had lower levels of belief and support when exposed to the race-focused condition. The results suggest that highlighting class-based climate disparities may be less prone to causing backfire effects.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Learning What Matters: Neural Mechanisms of Flexible Navigation\nAbstract:\nGoal-directed navigation in a dynamic world requires quickly identifying important locations and adapting behavioral plans to new information. In this talk I will describe neural circuit mechanisms of rapid spatial learning and of adapting to new information to guide navigation. Identifying crucial locations in a new environment depends on neural computations that rapidly represent locations and connect location information to key outcomes like food\, however the mechanisms to trigger these computations at behaviorally relevant locations is not well understood. We find that inhibitory interneurons in hippocampal CA3 play a causal role in identifying and exploiting new food locations. Inhibitory interneurons in CA3 drastically reduce firing on approach to and in goal locations. Sparse optogenetic stimulation to prevent goal-related decreases in interneuron firing impaired learning of goal locations and disrupted neural representations of goal locations. These results reveal that goal-selective decreases in inhibitory activity enable learning important locations. Navigation also requires rapidly updating choices in the face of new information. In hippocampus and prefrontal cortex\, neural activity representing future goals is theorized to support navigation planning. Yet how prospective goal representations incorporate new\, pivotal information is unknown. Using virtual reality\, we precisely introduced new crucial information during navigation and recorded neural activity as mice flexibly adapted their planned destinations. We found that new information triggered increased prospective representations and reorganization to rapidly shift to the new choice. This prospective code updating depended on the degree of behavioral adaptation needed. These studies reveal new mechanisms by which animals rapidly learn crucial new locations and adapt to new information that requires updating navigation plans.\n\nBio:\nDr. Annabelle Singer is the McCamish Foundation Early Career Professor in the Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University. Her research seeks to understand how neural activity produces memories and regulates brain immune function\, with the goal of developing new therapies for brain disease. Dr. Singer’s work has shown that coordinated electrical activity across hippocampal neurons encodes memories and fails in models of Alzheimer’s disease. She discovered that driving specific patterns of neural activity\, such as gamma oscillations\, reduces Alzheimer’s pathology and alters brain immune function. Using non-invasive sensory stimulation\, she is translating these discoveries from rodents to humans to pioneer radically new treatments for disease.\n\nDr. Singer is a Packard Fellow\, Kavli Fellow\, and recipient of the National Academy of Engineering’s Gilbreth Lectureship\, the Society for Neuroscience’s Janett Rosenberg Trubatch Career Development Award\, and the American Neurological Association’s Derek Denny-Brown Young Neurological Scholar Award. Her discoveries have inspired more than 20 clinical trials of brain stimulation across multiple diseases and have been featured on PBS\, Nature News\, Quanta Magazine\, The New York Times\, Radiolab\, and multiple documentaries. Dr. Singer trained as a postdoctoral fellow in Ed Boyden’s Synthetic Neurobiology Group at MIT and earned her Ph.D. in Neuroscience at UCSF.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2025-2026 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:Erik’s Title: Addressing Type Ia Supernova Systematics in the Era of Precision Cosmology\n\nAbstract: Various cosmological parameters such as H0 and S8 measured using Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) have been shown to be in tension with measurements from the early universe. I look to improve cosmological parameter measurements and test the limits of SNe Ia by focusing on some of the top systematics for SN Ia cosmology: (i) intrinsic scatter\, by leveraging the near-infrared (NIR) and (ii) peculiar velocities\, by leveraging galaxy groups. With the DEHVILS sample\, one of the largest uniform NIR samples of SN Ia light curves\, I take advantage of the fact that NIR light is less affected by dust to better characterize intrinsic scatter. Using the low-redshift sample from Pantheon+ combined with a pilot program using the AAT spectrograph\, I demonstrate the benefits for averaging the redshifts of galaxy groups to correct for peculiar velocities and motivate a future full scale analysis using redshifts from DESI as well as 4MOST. With the impending arrival of both the Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time\, which we show will greatly benefit from accounting for peculiar velocities\, and the Roman Space Telescope\, which will observe in the NIR and need a well understood low-redshift anchor SN sample\, we encourage an increased effort to define more galaxy groups and further analysis on SNe Ia in the NIR.\n\nNicholas’s Title: Mapping the high redshift universe with HI: towards a more complete picture of Cosmic Dawn\n\nAbstract: Next-generation radio telescopes promise to revolutionize our understanding of early structure formation by using the 21cm line from neutral hydrogen as a tomographic tracer. In particular\, they have the potential to probe deep into the Epoch of Reionization and Cosmic Dawn\, constraining the radiative processes of the first stars and galaxies. In this talk\, I'll present an overview of 21cm cosmology and discuss recent results from 21cm radio telescopes in constraining the astrophysics of Cosmic Dawn\, and will discuss near-term opportunities ahead of us as next-gen\, multi-wavelength telescopes aim to paint a more complete picture of Cosmic Dawn.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - The evolutionary implications of ecological interactions: lessons from agent-based models
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - Eco-evolutionary feedbacks play a powerful role in shaping the trajectory of change in ecological communities. Developing general theory to predict these trajectories would enable a wide variety of innovations in fields ranging from evolutionary medicine to agriculture. I will discuss two vignettes from my lab's work towards developing this theory. First\, a critical step is identifying the ecological interactions that are currently occurring. To this end\, we are exploring the possibility of identifying game theoretic interactions among cancer cells via spatial pattern analysis. A necessary second component is predicting how co-evolution will shape ecological interactions over time. We are studying this problem in the context of host-endosymbiont co-evolution\, using an agent-based computational model. Specifically\, I will present our results on the impact of partner choice on the de novo evolution and stability of mutualism\, and how this impact is affected by the mutational landscape of the trait governing partner choice.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Fathers and Sons: An Antigenealogy of Loyalism and Empire
DESCRIPTION:Born to an Anglicized Dutch family in Albany\, NY\, Jacob Glen Cuyler (1773-1854) became a child of revolutionary exile. This colonial North American has long frequented histories of the early British Cape Colony in southern Africa. In South Africa\, Cuyler would for a time become a symbol\, for British humanitarians\, of settler oppressions\, and a symbol\, for Afrikaner nationalists\, of British oppressions. This paper closely examines two of his unpublished writings to extract a transoceanic story of colonialism\, loyalism and the effects of the American Revolution. In keeping with this year’s Eisenberg Institute theme\, this paper places one man and his shattered family at the center of struggles for order in the disorderly world of revolution\, imperial expansion\, and global war.\n\nGreg Dowd (History and American Culture [AC]) is past Associate Dean for the Humanities\, past chair of AC\, and past Director of Native American Studies.  His several published books and many articles explore the history of the Native North American East before 1850\, but he has also touched on the history of South Africa\, where he was a Fulbright fellow (1994) and a research fellow (2015-2016) at the University of the Witwatersrand.  He has had several fellowships and his current work is supported in part by the Michigan Humanities Award. He has won two teaching awards. He has worked for tribes in a treaty rights case. He received his Ph.D. in History at Princeton University (1986) and his BA in History from the University of Connecticut (1978).\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:Roger Mathew Grant: \"The Colonial Galant Style: Eighteenth-Century Music from Chiquitania\, Bolivia\"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Music Theory hosts guest scholar Roger Mathew Grant (Wesleyan University) as part of the Carrigan Lecture Series. Free and open to the public. \n\nABSTRACT: During the middle decades of the eighteenth century\, Indigenous musicians in rural South America created a distinctive musical style music under conditions of Jesuit colonization. These musicians had been forcibly relocated to mission communities in the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru\, which is now eastern Bolivia. There\, they participated in vibrant scenes of choral and orchestral performance\; they trained and retrained each other in apprenticeship systems of singing\, conducting\, composition\, and instrument building. Today a substantial corpus of their music is preserved in Bolivian archives. The extant repertoire includes several large-scale operas and liturgical compositions attributed to teams of Indigenous composers. In this talk\, I offer a systematic analysis of this repertoire and its distinctive style\, which I call “colonial galant.” I argue\, first\, how the style of this repertoire is genuinely galant and very much a part of the eighteenth-century European intellectual and aesthetic movement that shares that name. I also define the colonial galant style as a distinct sub-set of the galant and demonstrate its particular features. I hope to show that close scrutiny of this colonial repertoire can help us reframe the historiography of eighteenth-century European music.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nROGER MATHEW GRANT is a music theorist and cultural historian whose research focuses on eighteenth-century music\, affect theory\, and the history of music theory. He is the author of two award-winning books\, *Peculiar Attunements: How Affect Theory Turned Musical* and *Beating Time and Measuring Music in the Early Modern Era*. His journal articles have appeared in venues such as *Critical Inquiry*\, *Representations*\, *Music Theory Spectrum*\, and the *Journal of the American Musicological Society*. Currently\, he is at work on a new book examining eighteenth-century Indigenous compositions from Jesuit missions in Bolivia. At Wesleyan University\, Roger serves as Professor of Music\, Dean of Arts and Humanities\, and Deputy Provost. He was also recently named a Guggenheim Fellow.

DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Assembly Hall at Rackham Graduate School for an evening of powerful storytelling. Rackham graduate students will take the stage and tell stories that weave together their lived experience\, scholarly work\, and reflections on this year’s MLK Symposium theme.\n\n2026 MLK Symposium Theme:\n“Unbowed and Unbroken: The Enduring Struggle for Justice”\n\nThis year’s symposium explores the enduring pursuit of justice through the lens of perseverance\, courage\, and collective resolve. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.’s theological roots and his reflections on the Civil Rights Movement\, the theme echoes his 1967 address\, “Where Do We Go From Here?”\, in which he reminded us that the journey toward justice is marked by both profound challenges and unwavering hope.\n\nTo be unbowed and unbroken is to honor the sacrifices of those who came before us while refusing to yield to injustice today. It is a commitment to move forward with defiant hope—confronting discrimination not with resignation\, but with determination and belief in the possibility of meaningful change.\n\nThrough storytelling\, reflection\, and community\, this event invites attendees to engage deeply with these ideas and consider how justice\, resilience\, and hope continue to shape our collective path forward.\n\nEvent Agenda\n5:30 p.m. – Doors Open & Reception\n6:00 p.m. – Program Begins\n\nWe hope you’ll join us for this meaningful evening of stories\, dialogue\, and connection.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Julia Keefe and the Indigenous Big Band
DESCRIPTION:For hundreds of years\, songs have been the vessels for stories\, lessons\, and prayers for the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. One of the newest additions to this world is the Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band\, which presented its very first concert in 2022. The band focuses on reimagined traditional melodies made famous by Indigenous jazz musicians from the past\, like singer Mildred Bailey (Coeur d’Alene) and saxophonist Jim Pepper (Kaw/Mvskoke)\, as well as new works that push the genre forward.\n\nLed by the celebrated vocalist and luminary Julia Keefe (Nez Perce)\, the ensemble brings charisma\, passion\, and purpose to every stage\, leaving audiences both inspired and educated. The band has quickly gained a reputation for deepening and challenging our understanding of the “uniquely American” art form known as jazz. The goals of the Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band are to celebrate and continue that tradition\, to compose and perform new music inspired by traditional backgrounds\, and to create a community of like-minded peoples from all backgrounds to uplift the next generation of Indigenous jazz musicians.\n\nIndigenous jazz musicians\, ensembles\, and big bands have their place in the contemporary jazz world and jazz history. Following 19th-century federal policies to remove Indian children from their homes and indoctrinate them into European culture (Indian Boarding Schools)\, small ensembles and big bands began to flourish on reservations across the US and Canada in the first half of the Twentieth Century. Indigenous musicians started to ascend to celebrity with jazz as their medium – including Russell “Big Chief” Moore\, Mildred Bailey\, Oscar Pettiford\, and Jim Pepper – but were never duly credited as Indigenous visionaries in the genre. \n\nThe Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band reflects a wide range of Indigenous identities\, from South America to Canada\, Northeast to Southwest. Together\, they represent a long-silenced\, long-forgotten chapter of jazz history: the participation\, contribution\, innovation\, and legacy of Indigenous jazz musicians. This is a legacy that seasoned composers and arrangers Julia Keefe and co-founder Delbert Anderson (Diné) carry forward through original works inspired by songs and rhythms of their Native heritage\, reimagined through the language and stylings of jazz.\n\nPresented in partnership with the University Musical Society\, the talk will be followed by the band’s performance presented by UMS\, beginning at 8 PM. \n\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Currently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tukilile Vaa
DESCRIPTION:Kaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Pierre Bellec\, Associate Professor\, Department of Statistics\, Rutgers University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The talk will explore properties of the iterates obtained from iterative algorithms in high-dimensional linear regression problems\, in the regime where the feature dimension is comparable with the sample size.  Examples of common iterative algorithms covered by the analysis include Gradient Descent (GD)\, proximal GD and their accelerated variants such as Fast Iterative Soft-Thresholding (FISTA)\, as well as Stochastic Gradient Descent (SDG). For these estimators\, we will introduce estimators for the generalization error of the iterate for any fixed iteration along the trajectory. These estimators are proved to be root-n consistent under Gaussian designs.  Applications to early-stopping are provided: when the generalization error of the iterates is a U-shape function of the iterations\, the estimates allow to select from the data an iteration that achieves the smallest generalization error along the trajectory.  Time permitting\, we will introduce debiasing corrections and valid confidence intervals for the components of the true coefficient vector from the iterate at any finite iteration.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through November 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (September 12 - November 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series | The Pulse of the Earth: Political Geology in Java
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: http://myumi.ch/P37nV\n\nThis talk explores how the modern earth and environmental sciences were shaped by Indonesian intellectuals and knowledge traditions on the slopes of Javanese volcanoes. Bobbette will introduce the core principles of political geology as a method that builds on political ecology and social histories of science. He will also examine how the theory of plate tectonics was not a scientific “revolution” but was profoundly enabled by the spiritual geographies and political geology of central Java.\n   \n   Adam Bobbette is a geographer and Lecturer in Political Geology at the University of Glasgow\, School of Geographical and Earth Sciences. He is the author of The Pulse of the Earth: Political Geology in Java (Duke 2023) which won the Harry J. Benda Prize.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Does Charring Affect New World Crop Stable Isotope  Values? An Experimental Study  Investigating Desiccated vs. Charred Plant Remains
DESCRIPTION:Stable Isotope Analysis (SIA) on macrobotanical remains\, can provide unique insights into past diet\, environment\, and certain anthropogenic effects\, that are otherwise lost to time. When archaeologists collect macrobotanical remains however\, they are often found desiccated (dried) or charred (burnt). SIA studies by many researchers have investigated if there is a difference isotopically between the two states of preserved macrobotanicals\, and some suggest that there is a difference in the stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic values. However\, the majority of these studies focus on Eurasian crops\, especially those of the C3 pathway. To our knowledge\, the difference between desiccated and charred remains of North and South American crops has not been as thoroughly conducted\, and not between C3 vs C4 pathways. In this study\, we experimentally charred important North and South American crop staples\, such as multiple varieties of corn (maize)\, avocado\, and legumes. The results of this study will allow archaeologists to assess whether to apply an offset to allow for comparable results between desiccated and charred plant remains. This study is especially important\, as it provides insight into if charring creates a greater offset between C3 desiccated and charred remains\, or between C4 desiccated and charred remains\, implying a different offset needed based on the photosynthetic pathway that the sample is identified as.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Drama and Performance Interest Group
DESCRIPTION:We hope you will join us for an enriching discussion of Susan Manning's latest book. Snacks will be served.\n\nPlease RSVP for the reading group here:\nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfa9Tz2J6Tq-_BZRlh8_rIDKojsLIX46A7KQjaB7pttelkQQg/viewform\n\nDancing on the Fault Lines of History (University of Michigan Press\, 2025) collects essential essays by Susan Manning\, one of the founders of critical dance studies\, recounting her career writing and rewriting the history of modern dance. Three sets of keywords—gender and sexuality\, whiteness and Blackness\, nationality and globalization—illuminate modern dance histories from multiple angles\, coming together in varied combinations\, shifting positions from foreground to background. Among the many artists discussed are Isadora Duncan\, Vaslav Nijinsky\, Ted Shawn\, Helen Tamiris\, Katherine Dunham\, José Limón\, Pina Bausch\, Reggie Wilson\, and Nelisiwe Xaba. Calling for a comparative and transnational historiography\, Manning ends with an extended case study of Mary Wigman’s multidimensional exchange with artists from Indonesia\, India\, China\, Korea\, and Japan.\n\nSusan Manning (she/her)\, Bergen Evans Professor in the Humanities at Northwestern University\, is jointly appointed in English\, Theatre\, and Performance Studies. Specializing in dance and movement-based performance\, she teaches the history of theatrical modernism and avant-garde performance. She has worked as a curator and dramaturge as well as a scholar\, and her writings have been translated into German\, French\, Italian\, Spanish\, and Polish.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:EIHS Symposium: Orders and the Unruly: A Conversation with our Fellows
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this exciting opportunity to engage with the research of this year’s Eisenberg and department fellows. For this symposium\, we have asked them to focus on one aspect of their projects that illustrates this year’s Eisenberg theme\, “Orders and the unruly.” Their takes on this theme promise to be illuminating. Casey Stark will investigate the complexities of religious officeholding among the highest orders of ancient Roman society. Matthew Bahar will tell us about unusual Indigenous burial site from sixteenth-century Florida that unnerved early Spanish explorers. Hazal Ozdemir will introduce us to the disobedient photographers who were tasked by the Sultan to track Armenian migrants in the late Ottoman Empire. Allie Goodman will explore how young people negotiated their control\, caretaking\, and institutionalization in early twentieth-century Chicago. Come learn about authority and its subversion across continents and centuries!\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:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Negative energies and the breakdown of bulk lengths in JT gravity
DESCRIPTION:One central puzzle in quantum gravity is to understand how and why predictions from semiclassical gravity can sometimes break down in a regime where we naively expect the semiclassical approximation to be valid. In particular\, overlaps among states that are orthonormal in the semiclassical approximation can receive large corrections from quantum fluctuations of the geometry. I will examine such overlaps among states of fixed length in the theory of pure JT gravity\, which is dual to the random matrix ensemble of Saad-Shenker-Stanford. Previously\, it has been discussed that the discreteness of the boundary spectrum must cause a breakdown of the bulk length basis for lengths proportional to the boundary inverse level spacing\, e^{S_0}.  I will discuss how the sum over quantum fluctuations at all orders in the bulk genus expansion indicates a more dramatic breakdown than previously expected\, at shorter lengths of O(e^{S_0/3}). From the perspective of the boundary spectrum\, these corrections arise from the presence of negative energies in rare members of the random matrix ensemble. Work in progress with John Preskill and Mykhaylo Usatyuk.
