While a February residency precludes an appearance on the 50-yard line\, we’re thrilled that Wynton and his Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra will return for another distinctive UMS residency this year.\n\nMarsalis’s Symphony No. 4\, “The Jungle\,” was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic and premiered in December 2016\; it has only been performed three times in the US since it was written. The six-movement symphony for jazz band and orchestra takes the dense mosaic of New York City as its inspiration. Marsalis’s masterwork highlights the paradoxes that define New York City\, where wealth and poverty\, grit and romance\, and unlimited growth and stagnation all coexist. But it’s also a meditation on what being human means today — a wide-scale attempt to understand the maelstrom of modern life and remind us all what brings us together.

And the blues never sounded so profound…one of today’s top live performers.” –Blues Music Magazine\n\nChicago guitarist\, vocalist\, songwriter and multiple Blues Music Award-winner Ronnie Baker Brooks is one of the city’s—and the world’s—most undeniably talented and electrifying bluesmen. Ronnie was born into Chicago blues royalty as the son of legendary multiple GRAMMY Award nominee\, Hall Of Famer\, and longtime Alligator Records recording star Lonnie Brooks. He is among the few contemporary blues artists who learned his craft directly from many of the genre’s icons\, including Albert Collins\, B.B. King\, Willie Dixon\, Koko Taylor and\, most significantly\, his father. “I’m blessed to have played with and learned from the best. I’m carrying them within me\,” he says of all the legends he knew growing up and the journey he’s been on.

Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador DESCRIPTION:*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador*\nCurator: Ryan B. Morrison | Curatorial Assistant: Isabella H. de Lemos\n\nFebruary 2-26\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\n*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador* traces one of the largest repatriation efforts of Afro-Brazilian art to date. Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas\, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador\, Bahia\, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists\, families\, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil\, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity\, community memory\, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\n\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort\, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by João Francisco Borges\, Nilo dos Santos\, Givanildo Francisco da Silva\, and José Miguel da Silva\, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*—popular printed booklets that combine social commentary\, folklore\, poetry\, and song.\n\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https://myumi.ch/61G23.\n\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities UID:143613-21893501@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143613 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Afro-brazilian Studies,Area Studies,Art,brazil,Center For Latin American And Caribbean Studies,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260207T060012 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260207T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260207T170000 SUMMARY:Other:Jessica C.

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.

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.

A new musical by Anderson Zoll and Maggie Brown. \n\nWalk You Back To Your Car is a one-act musical that follows three couples as they walk back from a party to their cars. Instead of focusing on what happens inside\, the show captures the fleeting\, often overlooked moments of connection between the front door and the car. The couples’ stories weave in and out of each other\, showing the different ways a relationship can shift in a single\, brief walk. Some changes are subtle\, some enormous\, but all leave a lasting mark. It’s a reflection on holding onto a moment as long as we can\, until we must inevitably say goodbye. Through laughter\, longing\, and unexpected honesty\, the musical reminds us that often it’s the smallest encounters that shape the course of our lives.

The night after they perform Marsalis’s new Symphony No. 5 with the University Symphony Orchestra\, the venerable ensemble takes the stage in a program that honors Duke Ellington.\n\nDuke Ellington found deep inspiration in Africa\, travelling with his orchestra to Dakar\, Senegal in 1966 to perform at the first World Festival of Negro Arts.

Co-music-directed by JLCO saxophonists Chris Lewis and Alexa Tarantino\, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis celebrates these compositions and the spirit of Duke’s historic trip\, nearly 60 years later.

It seemed inevitable. Libby Glover\, Michael Hough and David Tamulevich had been informally jamming with each other for 3 months in the Rathskellar of the Old Heidelberg Restaurant in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. The room had grown consistently packed with enthusiastic fans every weekend. They all agreed it was time the trio made it official and chose the name Mustard’s Retreat\, which was a tune David had written. \n\nMustard’s Retreat has always sung the songs they enjoyed and cared about\, regardless of the trends of the music industry and pop culture. They are committed to simply being themselves\, not chasing fame or brass rings\, while delighting in and connecting with their audiences as if they were family. The honesty of what they present onstage and the extensive body of outstanding original songs and recordings all contribute to a fiercely loyal audience that continues to grow. “Music to cure what ails you” was how one reviewer in the 1970s described them\, and that is as true now as it was then. They’ve traveled more than a million miles and performed more than 6\,000 shows\, from pig roasts and pool parties to Lincoln Center Out of Doors\, The Barns at Wolftrap and the Kennedy’s Center’s Millennium Stage.\n\nTheir performances are always joyful and uplifting\, as well as intelligent\, thought provoking and insightful. They’ve recently begun referring to their career and touring as “Defiantly Hopeful.” In part due to their long career\, but more as a statement about what the music has meant to them. “Folk music is\, at its heart\, defiantly hopeful!” Tamulevich says. “We came of age in the 60s\, at the confluence of Pete Seeger\, Peter\, Paul & Mary\, Bob Dylan and the singer/songwriter revolution. We care much more about what we do and stand for and finding that common ground with our audiences\, than fame or money: this is our community of choice\, and we consider ourselves so fortunate to be here.”\n\nNote early start time of 7:30!

Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas\, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador\, Bahia\, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists\, families\, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil\, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity\, community memory\, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\n\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort\, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by João Francisco Borges\, Nilo dos Santos\, Givanildo Francisco da Silva\, and José Miguel da Silva\, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*—popular printed booklets that combine social commentary\, folklore\, poetry\, and song.\n\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https://myumi.ch/61G23.\n\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities UID:143613-21893502@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143613 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Afro-brazilian Studies,Area Studies,Art,brazil,Center For Latin American And Caribbean Studies,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251212T105136 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260208T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260208T200000 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.

Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador DESCRIPTION:*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador*\nCurator: Ryan B. Morrison | Curatorial Assistant: Isabella H. de Lemos\n\nFebruary 2-26\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\n*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador* traces one of the largest repatriation efforts of Afro-Brazilian art to date. Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas\, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador\, Bahia\, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists\, families\, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil\, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity\, community memory\, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\n\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort\, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by João Francisco Borges\, Nilo dos Santos\, Givanildo Francisco da Silva\, and José Miguel da Silva\, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*—popular printed booklets that combine social commentary\, folklore\, poetry\, and song.\n\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https://myumi.ch/61G23.\n\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities UID:143613-21893503@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143613 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Afro-brazilian Studies,Area Studies,Art,brazil,Center For Latin American And Caribbean Studies,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260202T111756 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260209T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260209T110000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:CANCELLED - ECRC Career Cafe featuring KLA DESCRIPTION:Please note that this event is cancelled.

Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

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.

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.

These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

This exhibit highlights the U-M Ann Arbor campus\, both before its creation and throughout its continuous evolution. Featuring the work of famous architects such as Alexander Jackson Davis\, Albert Kahn and Eero Saarinen\, the exhibit presents maps\, plans\, architectural drawings\, proposals\, and photographs of the campus throughout its evolution. \n\nThis exhibit was originally part of a larger exhibit displayed from July 2017 to January 2018 to commemorate U-M's bicentennial.

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.

They provide a fruitful interplay between algebraic geometry and convex geometry since properties on one side (e.g. smoothness\, compactness) can be translated into properties involving discrete objects (e.g. cones\, fans\, polytopes). I will talk about singularities of these varieties from a Hodge theoretic point of view\, with applications towards local cohomology and singular cohomology\, based on joint works with Sridhar Venkatesh.

One can discover many of its algebro-geometric features by flatly degenerating it to a projective toric variety—a combinatorial shadow carrying rich information about the original space. A SAGBI basis (the \"subalgebra analogue of Gröbner basis for ideals\") guarantees such a toric degeneration. In this talk\, we will compute an explicit SAGBI basis for the multi-homogeneous coordinate ring of FL_n called the Plücker algebra\, and connect it to other well-studied combinatorial semigroups.

This system is well-posed below the mass of the soliton\, but above this threshold there are solutions that blow up in finite time.\n\nThe defocusing model arises as a modulation equation for internal waves in a deep stratified fluid. In this setting\, it is a member of a family of systems known as the intermediate nonlinear Schrödinger equations.\n\nIn this talk\, we will discuss some recent well-posedness results for the continuum Calogero--Moser and intermediate nonlinear Schrödinger equations. This is based on joint works with Andreia Chapouto\, Justin Forlano\, Rowan Killip\, and Monica Visan.

These aerosol particles behave like little chemical laboratories that transform gases in the atmosphere and alter the concentration of key species\, including ozone\, the hydroxyl radical\, and methane. But what do helium atoms have to with aerosols? Amazingly\, when helium atoms are dissolved in sea spray proxies\, they evaporate at super-Maxwellian speeds that vary sensitively with the identity of the salts and surfactants in solution. The excess helium kinetic energies teach us about the interfacial morphologies of surfactant-salt-water solutions\, which we can explain using two beautiful chemical concepts: the principle of detailed balance and potentials of mean force. We can use what we have learned to discuss how charged surfactants can significantly alter the outcome of reactions in sea spray because they control the segregation of reactive ions to the surface. Just a speck of surfactant goes a long way!\n\nThis talk will include some fun hands-on soapy water activities at your seat. Please bring your water bottle if you have one.

Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador DESCRIPTION:*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador*\nCurator: Ryan B. Morrison | Curatorial Assistant: Isabella H. de Lemos\n\nFebruary 2-26\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\n*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador* traces one of the largest repatriation efforts of Afro-Brazilian art to date. Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas\, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador\, Bahia\, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists\, families\, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil\, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity\, community memory\, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\n\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort\, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by João Francisco Borges\, Nilo dos Santos\, Givanildo Francisco da Silva\, and José Miguel da Silva\, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*—popular printed booklets that combine social commentary\, folklore\, poetry\, and song.\n\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https://myumi.ch/61G23.\n\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities UID:143613-21893504@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143613 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Afro-brazilian Studies,Area Studies,Art,brazil,Center For Latin American And Caribbean Studies,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260129T135258 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260210T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260210T100000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Alex Quizon Dissertation Defense DESCRIPTION:Stable oxygen isotope measurements (δ18O) are important tools in studies of climate\, oceanography\, and hydrology of today and the past. δ18O in fossil marine carbonates (δ18Ocarb) is used to reconstruct past ocean temperatures\, and seawater δ18O (δ18Ow) tracks with salinity and is thus used to interpret hydrological variability. However\, δ18Ocarb-temperature estimates rely on assumptions of how δ18Ow varied in the past\, which remains uncertain. ‘Clumped’ isotope thermometry (Δ47) measurements are independent of δ18Ow\, allowing us to circumvent this uncertainty and to simultaneously reconstruct past ocean temperatures and δ18Ow when combined with δ18Ocarb. This dissertation explores innovations in the utility of these isotopic tools. First\, we investigated the viability of Δ47 paleothermometry in marine gastropods - an archive largely unexplored for Δ47-paleotemperature reconstructions (Chapters 2 & 3). Second\, we explored the utility of δ18Ow and Δ47-derived paleo-δ18Ow as tracers of ocean currents (Chapters 4 & 5) and ice sheet melt (Chapter 6).\n\nChapter 2 documents Δ47-T’s from a suite of modern marine gastropods collected from localities spanning the globe. Our findings suggest that many gastropods precipitate in isotopic equilibrium and accurately record environmental temperatures. However\, some gastropods - notably Caviturritella/Turritella (turritellids) and Campanile - appear to precipitate out of equilibrium (“vital effects”) and thus exhibit Δ47-T’s cooler than actual environmental temperatures.\n\nChapter 3 expands on the finding from Chapter 2 that turritellids appear to exhibit a vital effect-induced cold bias of ~6°C\, reporting Δ47-temperatures from 2 modern and 7 fossil (Mid-Miocene\, ~18-14 Ma) turritellids from Colombia. The Δ47 data from the modern turritellids corroborate the previous finding of a ~6°C cold bias. After a +6°C adjustment is applied to Mid-Miocene Δ47-temperatures\, adjusted Δ47-temperatures align with previous paleotemperature estimates in the region from other studies\, highlighting the potential of vital effect-based corrections.\n\nChapter 4 explores the utility of δ18Ow as a tracer for the Labrador and Gulf Stream boundary currents in the North Atlantic. We collected 358 new salinity and δ18Ow measurements along the Eastern Seaboard\, doubling the number of existing data in the region. Our paired salinity and δ18Ow data show distinct signatures for the Labrador Current and Gulf Stream roughly separated at Cape Hatteras\, North Carolina\, creating the framework for using δ18Ow as a tracer of these currents.\n\nChapter 5 expands on the findings from Chapter 4\, as we discuss the ability of Δ47-derived paleo-δ18Ow to track the Labrador Current and Gulf Stream in the past. We measured fossil quahogs (Mercenaria sp.\, ~130-115 ka and ~80 ka) from localities along the Eastern Seaboard and found that\, despite temporal differences\, paleo-δ18Ow latitudinal trends generally align with the modern δ18Ow latitudinal gradient. Thus\, these findings showcase the potential of Δ47-derived paleo-δ18Ow to track water masses from the past.\n\nChapter 6 builds on the framework of using Δ47-derived paleo-δ18Ow to interpret paleohydrological variability\, as we infer substantial ice sheet melt at Nantucket\, Massachusetts during the Last Interglacial (~130-115 ka). We measured 7 Mercenaria across 2 units at this locality and observed paleo-δ18Ow values significantly depleted relative to modern values\, which is consistent with substantial freshwater input (i.e.\, ice sheet melt).\n\nAltogether\, this dissertation builds on the existing framework of Δ47 and δ18Ow as paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic tools by investigating the viability of marine gastropods for Δ47-paleotemperature reconstructions and exploring Δ47-derived paleo-δ18Ow as a tracer of ocean circulation and ice sheet melt in the past.

Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

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.

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.

These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

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.

Monica will present\, “Solving the Biggest Problems: Problem-Solving Sociology and American Populism.”\n\nAbstract: “Recently several groups of scholars have independently argued that sociology should attempt to solve problems\, from the community around “problem-solving sociology\,” to “solution oriented sociology\,” to scholars arguing that sociologists should attempt to solve inequality\, to the “positive turn” in economic sociology. But many of the biggest problems that sociologists examine cannot be solved in the course of a scholarly career. This talk discusses the sociology of knowledge questions raised by trying to solve the biggest problems\, and then tries to solve one of the biggest problems: American populism and its protectionist turn\, which is unusual in comparative perspective. I show that even when problems cannot be solved\, trying to solve them is worthwhile for the insights it generates.”\n\nMonica Prasad’s areas of interest are economic sociology\, comparative historical sociology\, and political sociology. Her books The Politics of Free Markets\, The Land of Too Much\, and Starving the Beast examine American political economy in comparative perspective\, and argue that progressive policies are most effective when they are embedded in a broader political economy that is favorable to business interests.

This project proposes a new architecture for building official measures of inflation and spending from granular\, item-level transactions data\, offering internally consistent measures of real expenditures and inflation. The RESET architecture aims to replace the existing 20th century infrastructure for official statistics\, which relies on disparate surveys and enumerations\, with one built upon 21st century information systems. The RESET DP will release real-time monthly indices of inflation and sales covering most retail goods in the United States—accounting for almost ten percent of GDP.\n\nItem-level transactions data yield cost-of-living indices that can account for quality change and consumer substitution. Transactions data require confronting the rapid turnover of items because prices of new and existing products are interrelated in equilibrium. The attached paper “Quality Adjustment at Scale: Hedonic vs. Exact Demand-Based Price Indices” evaluates multiple approaches to measuring quality change at scale. It shows that a hedonic superlative approach—using econometrics or machine learning for hedonic estimation combined with index formulas that require simultaneous observation of item-level price and expenditure—yields improved measures of the cost of living. Accounting for ubiquitous quality change and for consumer substitution yields lower measures of inflation than traditional\, official methods.

Increased soil nitrogen\, for example\, causes rhizobia to become less mutualistic\, but this may be due to direct or indirect effects. I experimentally evolved soil microbial communities to disentangle three possible drivers of reduced mutualism-- soil nitrogen\, light\, and host availability-- as well as whether mutualism quality would recover after fertilization cessation. Additionally\, I investigated possible non-additive effects of adding a second symbiont\, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi\, to the legume-rhizobium system\, because mycorrhizae are an additional carbon sink for plant hosts.

This presentation situates that symbolic boundary within a specific discourse of artistic appraisal\, and contrasts it with a growing acceptance of painting as a legitimate livelihood for respectable “gentlemen” in the 10th–13th centuries. By tracing the coexistence of these two conflicting perspectives on occupational painting\, and their impact on occupational painters\, it offers a new understanding of how social and symbolic boundaries were negotiated in Song art worlds.\n \n Zach Berge-Becker is a Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies.

In an era when global health is often reduced to short-term interventions and metrics\, the deeper moral demands of accompaniment can fade from view. Dr. Rick Hodes challenges this narrowing of vision. In his upcoming talk for the Woll Family Speaker Series\, he invites us to consider medicine not as a transaction\, but as a sustained moral commitment.\nDrawing on more than three decades of work in Ethiopia\, Dr. Hodes will share stories of children with complex cardiac and spinal conditions and of a physician who chose to stay. He explores the ethical tensions of caring for patients whose needs far exceed available resources\, and asks what obligations endure when the usual boundaries of training\, geography\, and time fall away.\nDr. Hodes is an internist who has lived and worked in Ethiopia since the mid-1980s. His work brings children to the United States for life-saving care while strengthening local medical capacity. We are honored to welcome Dr. Hodes to the Woll Family Speaker Series for a conversation that will challenge\, inspire\, and reframe how we think about moral responsibility in medicine.\n\nWe are grateful to co-sponsor this talk with Global Reach.

Based on ethnographic research with contemporary Sandinistas\, this talk examines what appears to be the uncanny transformation of Nicaragua’s revolutionary left tradition during times of neoliberal hegemony and the contradictions that have arisen for grassroots organizers committed to creating lasting structural change.\n\n*Luciana Chamorro is a 2025-26 Hunting Family Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and Assisstant Professor of Anthropology.* UID:141250-21888467@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141250 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Humanities,Latin America,Politics LOCATION:202 S.

These improvements have been designed as part of ICPSR’s Research Data Ecosystem (RDE) platform\, supported by the National Science Foundation\, and are now being introduced to some live ICPSR data collections. \n\nEnhancements include:\n * addition of persistent identifiers (PIDs) for people and organizations\, to support connections across systems\;\n * improved controlled vocabularies to search by data characteristics such as format and collection method – like survey\, panel\, or GIS data\;\n * new required fields to clearly indicate where\, when\, and what each data collection is about\;\n * better handling of geographic coverage and new fields that help users find data from small towns to entire continents\, including nationally representative data.\n\nIn this presentation\, members of ICPSR’s metadata team will show these enhancements\, which are already live in some ICPSR data collections. We’ll also share practical tips for attendees who deposit data with ICPSR or support people who do – ideas to help depositors prepare to make the best use of these new fields as they roll out to more collections within ICPSR.

In the first half of this talk\, we will discuss the physics modeling capabilities and algorithms available in xRAGE with an emphasis on those relevant to high-energy-density physics and inertial confinement fusion. In the second half of the talk\, we will discuss the successful application of xRAGE to provide pre-shot predictions for seventeen high-yield capsule implosions on the National Ignition Facility. This will include the modeling methodology\, how we establish prediction uncertainties\, and how we have learned from prediction failures to improve the methodology. Our predictions have exhibited a 67% success rate thus far\, which is much higher than other pre-shot predictions over the same set of experiments.\n\nBio: \nBrian M. Haines is a Senior Distinguished Scientist in the Eulerian Codes group in the X-Computational Physics division at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He is currently the lead for the Ignition Applications project\, which includes the THOR and BrassOwl experimental campaigns on the National Ignition Facility. Brian leads the effort to produce LANL xRAGE pre-shot predictions and post-shot analysis of high-yield implosion attempts on the National Ignition Facility. Brian led the decadal effort to develop the xRAGE radiation-hydrodynamics code into a state-of-the-art tool for modeling inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and high-energy density physics experiments and has pioneered the use of xRAGE to perform large-scale high-resolution full-physics three-dimensional simulations of ICF implosions to understand the impacts of hydrodynamic instabilities and engineering features. Prior to his current position\, Brian was a Metropolis postdoc in the Methods & Algorithms group from 2011-2013 and did various internships as a student with Argonne National Laboratory\, LANL\, the National Security Agency\, and the Institute for Defense Analyses’ Center for Communications Research. Brian received a Ph.D. in mathematics from Penn State University in 2011 and a B.A. in mathematics and physics from New York University in 2006. Brian has co-authored 100 peer-reviewed publications that have received over 3\,400 citations and has been awarded a Secretary’s Honor Award from DOE\, four distinguished performance awards from LANL\, five defense program awards of excellence from NNSA\, an ICF program award from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)\, and a Director’s Science and Technology Award from LLNL.

In Michigan alone\, there are at least 16 proposed datacenter sites in 10 counties across the Lower Peninsula. Access to land\, electricity\, and water\, as well as favourable regulations and tax incentives are driving the data center boom. However\, there are concerns over the sustainability of data centers and their impacts on both the natural and built environment. Data centers already make up 4% of total electricity consumption in the U.S.\, and are expected to consume 6-12% by 2030. Both the load growth and corresponding uncertainty present a challenge to utility companies: how do we plan for unprecedented levels of load growth? How do we accommodate uncertainty in load forecasts? How do we ensure affordable and reliable access to electricity and water? This talk will share findings from an ongoing project on Data center Energy and Water Systems (DEWS). Through a literature review and expert interviews with stakeholders and companies involved in data center development and operations\, we are exploring the impacts of data centers on infrastructure\, environment\, and affordability. \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nRabab Haider\, Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering\n\nDr. Rabab Haider is an Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan.

Upon liberation in 1945\, members of the antifascist resistance worked at the local level to reestablish national sovereignty and lay the foundations of this new order — *lidová demokracie*\, which might be translated as “folk democracy” rather than the traditional “people’s democracy.” Like folk songs or folk art\, folk democracy was understood to represent the creative efforts of the common people\, unmediated by party elites or state institutions. In the remote\, rural region of Moravian Wallachia\, a stronghold of the Czech partisan movement under Nazi occupation\, folk democracy promised both material benefits and symbolic recognition. Local Communists appealed to this vision first to win support among Wallachians and then to consolidate one-party rule after their leaders’ seizure of power in February 1948. Thereafter\, however\, the legacy of folk democracy both inspired resistance and impeded Communist attempts to reorder local society along ideological lines.\n\nAttend in person or via Zoom.

Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/JPJAe\n\nSouth Korean serials (aka K-Dramas) are increasingly understood as a new paradigm of global media production on content streaming platforms. South Korean content industries have established a repertoire of narrative and character tropes that inventively combine multiple genres of popular storytelling\, including zombie thrillers: All of Us Are Dead\, Kingdom\, Sweet Home\; survival games: Physical 100\, Hellbound\; corporate/gangster noir: Vincenzo\, Little Women\; school bullying and revenge: The Glory\, Extracurricular\, Weak Hero\; and romantic comedy: Crash Landing on You\, Business Proposal\, and many others. How did the Korean media ecosystem become so adept at anticipating globally resonant narratives and integrating local productions into the transnational infrastructures of new “television” consumption? This talk revisits the South Korean television series Reply 1997 (Ungtap hara 1997\, tvN\, 2012) as a crucial piece of the “K-content” puzzle\, though it may seem at first glance to be an entirely different type of media object than the more recent streaming sensations mentioned above. Cho contends that the series and the broader cultural currents to which it gave form uniquely illuminate the transformative encounters\, uneven entanglements\, and overdetermined desires and aspirations that signify the “global” in “global media.” In this talk\, she'll contextualize the show in the trajectory of Korean television’s increasingly platform-mediated mission to become a representative global media industry and popular narrative form\, and analyze its novel approach to periodization. Cho will foreground the overdetermining impact of the late 1990s historical conjuncture to interpret the gesture of rewriting the memory of this period through the figure of the fangirl as an exemplary late-capitalist subject.\n \n Michelle Cho is assistant professor of Korean Media and director of the Centre for the Study of Korea at the University of Toronto. Her work explores South Korean genre cinemas\, Korean television\, digital platforms\, and mediations of race and gender in K-Pop and its fandoms. She is co-editor of Bangtan Remixed: A Critical BTS Reader and Mediating Gender in Post-Authoritarian South Korea and author of the forthcoming monograph *Genre Worlds: Global Forms and Millennial South Korean Cinema*. Her public-facing writing appears in such venues as The Los Angeles Review of Books\, and she regularly contributes to the CBC’s daily culture show Commotion. She’s also a frequent commentator on Asian media in outlets ranging from NPR to CNN to The Washington Post.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at ncks.info@umich.edu.
