His illuminating San Juan Hill: A New York Story was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic to open David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center\, cementing his reputation for creating meaningful multimedia works that connect music with place and history. Earth Tones\, which receives its world premiere in April 2024\, is a multimedia jazz performance featuring original compositions that draw attention to people and regions that are\, or soon will be\, severely affected by climate change.\n\nThe performance invites us into a sensory journey that includes sounds\, stories\, and musical idioms from at-risk coastal communities\, with images and short films of disappearing mangrove swamps\, coral reefs\, oyster beds\, seagrass\, sand dunes\, and mud volcanoes.

Equal parts genius and buffoon\, this songwriter-comic-singer-poet-musician has become a cult hero and a pop icon\, with a show that appeals to college students\, stoners\, businessmen\, yuppies\, rednecks\, punks\, kids or your grandmother. Heywood intersperses his humorous observations of life with twisted\, inventive\, bizarre songs\, sung and played in a variety of styles\, from folk\, to country to rock to pop\, and way beyond. You have to be pretty sharp to get Heywood at his deepest level (he demands a high level of pop culture literacy)\, but you can also enjoy him just for his vocal style impersonations\, expert musicianship and just plain silliness. Heywood has appeared on A&E’s Evening at the Improv\, MTV’s 1/2 Hour Comedy Hour\, CNN’s Hollywood Minute\, Caroline’s Comedy Hour\, Entertainment Tonight\, Showtime Comedy Club Network\, and the Dr. Demento Show\,” and is a frequent guest on the national Bob and Tom radio show.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621497@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250414T011729 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250119T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250119T120000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Discovery Demo: All About Owls DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Science Forum for a 15-20 minute engaging science demonstration that will help you see the world in a whole new way.

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

This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

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

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

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

To answer this question\, we need to understand its “space of possibilities”\, a “map” where we can find every possible position of the robot. Unfortunately\, these spaces are very large\, they live in very high-dimensions\, and they are very difficult to visualize. Fortunately\, mathematicians have encountered and studied these kinds of spaces before. Thanks to the tools they’ve developed\, we can build “remote controls” to navigate these complicated spaces\; this allows us to move (some) robots optimally. \n\nAs the imaginary border between “pure” and “applied” mathematics disappears before our eyes\, we face an important ethical questions that we cannot ignore: What’s the role of mathematicians and scientists in building a more just and equitable society?

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

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

This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

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

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818019@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250121T102045 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250121T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250121T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ACUM Presents: Advising Staff Contextualizing the MLK Keynote Lecture DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a 1 hour debrief specifically for advising staff members following the MLK 39th Annual Keynote Memorial Lecture.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621498@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250205T063146 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250121T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250121T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Virtual Networking Event - Respiratory Therapist (Eau Claire\, WI) DESCRIPTION:Join Mayo Clinic Health System for a Respiratory Therapy Virtual Hiring Event! Are you interested in exploring a life-changing career as a Respiratory Therapist in Eau Claire\,WI?  Currently offering a $10k sign on bonus and minimum of $6k relocation funds for those who qualify! Experienced and New Grad Respiratory Therapist are invited to interview with our hiring team at this upcoming event.  *Please note the interview slots that are listed in Central Time Zone.

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

The same program verification tools can work in many application domains. But it's not enough just to implement an algorithm\; the program is fully \"correct\" only if the algorithm (provably) computes an answer to the problem or question of interest. Proofs of algorithm correctness rely on the mathematics of the application domains\, and each domain has its own mathematics.\nIn recent years we have applied this method to numerical methods (algorithms for scientific computing) and numerical analysis (reasoning about the accuracy of those methods)\, with machine-checked proofs formally connected to low-level program-correctness proofs. I will discuss results in the numerical integration of differential equations and in solving linear systems. Some of these results are joint work with Ariel Kellison and David Bindel (Cornell)\, Mohit Tekriwal and Jean-Baptiste Jeannin (Michigan). \n\nBio: Andrew Appel is Eugene Higgins Professor Computer Science\, and served from 2009-2015 as Chair of Princeton's CS department. His research is in software verification\, computer security\, programming languages and compilers\, and technology policy. He received his A.B. summa cum laude in physics from Princeton in 1981\, and his Ph.D. in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University in 1985. Professor Appel has been editor in chief of ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems and is a fellow of the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery). He has worked on fast N-body algorithms (1980s)\, Standard ML of New Jersey (1990s)\, Foundational Proof-Carrying Code (2000s)\, and the Verified Software Toolchain (2010-present).

If you perform a generic change of coordinates on R before computing the initial ideal of J\, the resulting initial ideal turns out to be especially well-behaved. We call this ideal the generic initial ideal of J. The generic change of variables eliminates the dependence on the original coordinates and yields an initial ideal of minimal complexity.\n\nWe'll start by reviewing the basics of monomial orders and Gröbner bases. Next\, we'll develop the theory of the generic initial ideal\, proving its existence and summarizing basic properties. Lastly\, we'll showcase applications of the generic initial ideal in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry.

Compared with extensively-studied optical neural networks\, the development of mechanical neural networks remains nascent and faces significant challenges\, including heavy computational demands and learning with approximate gradients. Here\, we introduce the mechanical analogue of in situ backpropagation to enable highly efficient training of mechanical neural networks. We theoretically prove that the exact gradient can be obtained locally\, enabling learning through the immediate vicinity\, and we experimentally demonstrate this backpropagation to obtain gradient with high precision. With the gradient information\, we showcase the successful training of networks in simulations for behavior learning and machine learning tasks\, achieving high accuracy in experiments of regression and classification. Our findings\, which integrate the theory for training mechanical neural networks and experimental and numerical validations\, pave the way for mechanical machine learning hardware and autonomous self-learning material systems.\n\nShriya Sinha/Zecheng You \nU-M Physics\n\nEmerging Conduction Pathways in Semiconducting Bismuth-Antimony Alloys\n\nBi_{1-x}Sb_x alloys with ~0.07 < x < 0.22 have long been reported as narrow bandgap semiconductors with inverted bands. In addition to hosting topologically protected surface states\, the material has certain topological indices allowing it to host conduction pathways via extended defects such as dislocations. At temperatures above 150 K\, transport is dominated by thermally activated electrons and holes. The carrier density and their mobilities are determined by performing a two-channel analysis of the longitudinal and transverse magneto-conductivity. A 40 meV band gap is extracted by analyzing the temperature dependence of the carrier densities. ARPES measurements were conducted to explore the bulk bandgap focused on the L-point. We extract electron mobility from a sharp peak of magneto-conductance. From room temperature to cryogenic temperatures\, electron mobility increases by more than two orders of magnitude and approaches a remarkably high value of 750\,000 cm^2/Vs below 10 K. Because of the high mobility of electrons\, we were able to suppress the contribution of the bulk electron by 5-6 orders of magnitude by applying a large magnetic field and discover this presence of a new magnetic-field-independent conducting path of unknown origin.

We will begin by surveying four different ways of computing in these rings\, due to Billera\, Brion\, Fulton–Sturmfels\, and Allermann–Rau. We will illustrate the beauty and power of these methods by sketching four proofs of Huh and Huh–Katz’s formula μ_k(M) = deg_M(α*{r−k}β^k) for the coefficients of the reduced characteristic polynomial of a matroid M as the mixed intersection numbers of the hyperplane and reciprocal hyperplane classes α and β in the Chow ring of M. Each of these proofs sheds light on a different aspect of matroid combinatorics\, and provides a framework for more recent developments in the intersection theory of matroids.

Weibel – Professor of Mechanical Engineering\, Purdue University\n\nME Seminar Link\n\nPasscode: 845686\n\nAbstract:\nTwo-phase immersion cooling is promising for passive\, power-dense thermal management of electronics to address the challenges associated with rapid increases in thermal design power for AI computing applications. However\, the required dielectric coolants have boiling performance and heat flux dissipation limitations that require use of boiling surface enhancements to meet these goals. Our recent research efforts in the Cooling Technologies Research Center (CTRC) at Purdue University have explored various routes for boiling enhancement\, from microstructured surfaces that aim to enhance liquid delivery to the surface\, to physicochemical modifications that tune the fluidsurface interactions to aid in bubble nucleation and departure. Nevertheless\, the longstanding approach of using heat sinks with extended fins has the potential to most substantially increase the heat dissipation during two-phase immersion cooling\, especially if deployed in conjunction with the aforementioned surface enhancements. However\, predicting pool boiling from a heat sink is challenging due to multiple boiling regimes that can occur at different locations along the fin height. One recent breakthrough in our research has been to demonstrate an approach predicting twophase immersion heat sink performance by applying superheat-dependent heat transfer coefficient within a fin analysis. Our approach also uniquely considers interaction between the vapor and fins\, such that the predictions are valid at characteristic dimensions both below and above the capillary length scale\, which has been shown key to achieving experimental validation. This modeling approach has been recently coupled with a topology optimization algorithm that optimizes the geometry of a two-phase immersion heat sink to minimize thermal resistance\, while implicitly considering critical heat flux limitations\, providing a first-of-its-kind design tool for two-phase immersion heat sinks.\n\nBio:\nJustin A. Weibel is a Professor of the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University and Director of the Cooling Technologies Research Center (CTRC)\, a graduated NSF I/UCRC that addresses research and development needs of companies and organizations in the area of highperformance heat removal from compact spaces.

The coverage is marginal\, holding on average over the entire population but not necessarily for any specific subgroup. In this talk\, I will introduce a new method\, posterior conformal prediction (PCP)\, which generates prediction intervals with both marginal and approximate conditional coverage for clusters (or subgroups) naturally discovered in the data. PCP achieves these guarantees by modelling the conditional conformity score distribution as a mixture of cluster distributions. Compared to other methods with approximate conditional coverage\, this approach produces tighter intervals\, particularly when the test data is drawn from clusters that are well represented in the validation data. PCP can also be applied to guarantee conditional coverage on user-specified subgroups\, in which case it achieves robust coverage on smaller subgroups within the specified subgroups. In classification\, the theory underlying PCP allows for adjusting the coverage level based on the classifier’s confidence\, achieving significantly smaller sets than standard conformal prediction sets. Experiments demonstrate the performance of PCP on diverse datasets from socio-economic\, scientific and healthcare applications.\n\nhttps://yaozhang24.github.io/yaozhang.github.io/ UID:129240-21862368@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129240 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 411 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250205T123151 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250121T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250121T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Your Roadmap to Success in Nursing DESCRIPTION:Embark on an exciting journey into the dynamic world nursing with our upcoming webinar!

Attendees will learn why making money-related decisions can cause so much stress\, how to deal with financial choices (and if it’s working)\, and various ways to dial down the discomfort to start making money decisions with more confidence.\n\nRSVP for other workshops in the series here: https://myumi.ch/wlwGv UID:129660-21864289@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129660 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Financial Wellness,Food,Free LOCATION:Center for the Education of Women CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250205T123201 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250121T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250121T174500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Gallagher's Success Stories: From Intern to Full-Time DESCRIPTION:Hear from former interns who successfully transitioned intofull-time roles at Gallagher.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

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

This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

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

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

There are challenges to navigate at work\, in your personal life\, and in your ties to community. There are also opportunities for new and strengthened connections\, personal growth\, and joy. \n\nThe LSA Disability Navigators are facilitating small group discussions for LSA employees (faculty and staff\, including student workers) who want space to process their experiences as caregivers for loved ones with disabilities with a group of peers. This group is appropriate for parents and foster parents of children with disabilities as well as people caring for parents\, siblings\, other family\, or friends with disabilities.\n\nParticipants will:\n- Learn about the 7 stages of disability acceptance.\n- Explore how to help their loved one incorporate disability into their identity in a healthy way.\n- Discuss how to foster a support network and fend off burnout.\n- Crowdsource resources and advice for navigating work and life as a caregiver to a disabled loved one.\n\nParticipant Privacy: Participants will receive guidance on how to protect their loved one's identity and personal details. Participants may share as much—or as little—about their personal situation as they are comfortable. By registering\, you are agreeing to respect the privacy of other participants and agreeing to not share their identities or details of their lives outside of the discussion session.\n\nFormat: This discussion group will be conducted virtually on Zoom. Camera use will be optional\, but is encouraged. Auto-captioning will be enabled and slides will be shared during and following the workshop. Participants can participate verbally by unmuting or in writing via the chat function. This session will not be recorded.\n\nAccommodations: The LSA DEI Office greatly values inclusion and access for all.

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

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621499@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250120T115343 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250122T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250122T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Winter Engineering Career Fair DESCRIPTION:This event is intended for U-M Ann Arbor College of Engineering Students\, as well as LSA declared Computer Science\, Data Science and Physics students.\n\nThe Winter Engineering Career Fair will be held on Wednesday\, January 22 from 11 AM-4 PM.

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

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

Attendees will be challenged to learn\, unlearn\, and expand upon their own views while also networking with leaders who have a demonstrated commitment to advancing equity in healthcare.\n\nWe'll begin with Birth Detroit's presentation and end with Q&A.\n\nPlease register on Sessions: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/81911 UID:127913-21859923@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/127913 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:community health,Diversity,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Health,Health Disparities,martin luther king jr.,Maternal Health,Medicine,midwifery,mlk symposium,nursing,pregnancy,reproductive health,Social Impact,social justice,Social Work,women's health LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250109T105254 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250122T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250122T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag | Quasinormal Corrections to Near-Extremal Black Hole Thermodynamics DESCRIPTION:Recent work on the quantum mechanics of near-extremal non-supersymmetric black holes has identified a characteristic T^{3/2} scaling of the low temperature black hole partition function. This result has only been derived using the path integral in the near-horizon region and relies on many assumptions. We discuss how to derive the T^{3/2} scaling for the near-extremal rotating BTZ black hole from a calculation in the full black hole background using the Denef-Hartnoll-Sachdev (DHS) formula\, which expresses the 1-loop determinant of a thermal geometry in terms of a product over the quasinormal mode spectrum. We also derive the spectral measure for fields of any spin in Euclidean BTZ and use it to provide a new proof of the DHS formula and a new\, direct derivation of the BTZ heat kernel. The computations suggest a path to proving the T^{3/2} scaling for the asymptotically flat 4d Kerr black hole.

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

From the construction of classroom syllabi to the development of federal and global policies\, numerous factors influence an individual's sense of belonging in higher education. Belonging is inherently political\, contested\, and continuously evolving. The concept of belonging is often naturalized\, leading to the assumption that belonging is obvious or innate. When belonging is framed as natural\, it obscures the reality that belonging is always contested\, and neutrality in this context is neither fixed nor truly impartial.\n\nBeyond its precarious nature\, another critical issue arises when decision-makers in positions of power predominantly represent specific groups\, resulting in leadership that does not reflect the diversity of their organizations. This lack of representation perpetuates exclusion and limits the breadth of perspectives in decision-making processes.\n\nAdditionally\, based on social positioning\, individuals may feel disconnected from larger macro systems but find a sense of belonging within smaller communities that share identities and experiences. These communities often serve as vital spaces for survival and resistance. Ultimately\, individuals exercise agency in shaping their sense of belonging. While institutions bear a responsibility to cultivate an inclusive environment for students\, faculty\, and staff\, individuals also have control over how they engage with and create belonging.\n\nThis panel aims to deepen understanding by exploring how belonging is negotiated and sustained in complex social and ecological contexts. It will examine the challenges of fostering a sense of belonging and how individuals or groups create belonging through self-driven initiatives and resistance efforts.
