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.

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:143613-21893504@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. His research examines practices and processes of identity construction and social distinction in middle period China\, by focusing on fields of action that served as leisure for some and livelihoods for others\, such as: painting\, making music\, fishing\, gardening\, and playing board games.

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.

Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.\n\nAbout this talk:\nThe Sandinista National Liberation Front\, which once led a Marxist-inspired popular revolution in Nicaragua (1979-1990)\, returned to power sixteen years later\, now in alliance with former foes in the business sector and the Catholic Church. 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.

This powerful film highlights the devastation inflicted on museums\, monuments\, archaeological sites and sacred places such as the cathedral in Odessa\, all ruthlessly destroyed by Russian forces who are trying to rewrite history in the name of the chauvinist ideology of “Great Russia''.\n\nHowever\, \"Erase the Nation\" doesn't just capture the destruction. It also reveals the resilience and determination of individuals from the world of culture who are working hard to preserve our common heritage or choose to stand up and join the fight for their homeland. The film pays tribute to these brave souls\, emphasizing that those who perished in the conflict would never have the chance to compose new songs\, direct new films\, or craft new poetry.\n\n\"Erase the Nation\" is a testament to the enduring power of culture\, which proves stronger than the hatred of barbarism. It underscores how even in the face of devastation\, the spirit of art and heritage can shine through\, offering hope and a path toward restoration.\n \n Free and open to the public. Seating is on a first-come\, first-served basis.\n \nTrailer: https://myumi.ch/612M1\n \n Tomasz Grzywaczewski is a war journalist\, documentary filmmaker\, and author of nonfiction books with a focus on Central and Eastern Europe.

This lecture will discuss the role played by media technologies—such as the phonograph\, typewriters\, the telegraph\, and computers—in the revitalization and modernization of Hebrew since the end of the nineteenth century. After lying dormant for two millennia as a mainly written language\, Hebrew awoke from its literary slumber and became a living modern vernacular. The revitalization of Hebrew is unique and unprecedented in world history\, and it has been studied in various fields\; but the role of modern media technologies in mediating this revival has not yet been considered. This lecture will delve into questions such as: what was the role of sound recording technologies in shaping the reemerging modern Hebrew speech? And how did the Hebraized typewrite pushed for the modernization of writing in Hebrew?. It will show how these media\, whose emergence ran in historical parallel to the revitalization of Hebrew\, were an active force in shaping the language as a modern communicative medium. Hebrew was a historical media lab: written from right to left and in unique script\, it posed technical as well as conceptual challenges to media which were originally designed for Latin script and Western writing systems.

In poverty-stricken postwar Rome\, a man is on his first day of a new job that offers hope of salvation for his desperate family when his bicycle\, which he needs for work\, is stolen. With his young son in tow\, he sets off to track down the thief. Simple in construction and profoundly rich in human insight\, Bicycle Thieves embodies the greatest strengths of the Italian neorealist movement: emotional clarity\, social rectitude\, and brutal honesty.\n\nTuesday\, March 17 @7pm\, La strada\, Federico Fellini\, 1954. \n\nFilm synopsis: There has never been a face quite like that of Giulietta Masina.

Gelsomina is sold by her mother into the employ of Zampanò (Anthony Quinn)\, a brutal strongman in a traveling circus. When Zampanò encounters an old rival in highwire artist the Fool (Richard Basehart)\, his fury is provoked to its breaking point. With La Strada\, Fellini left behind the familiar signposts of Italian neorealism for a poetic fable of love and cruelty\, evoking brilliant performances and winning the hearts of audiences and critics worldwide.\n\nTuesday\, April 7 @7pm\, Il bell'Antonio\, Mauro Bolognini\, 1960. \n\nFilm synopsis: In the lush city of Catania\, Sicily\, Antonio (Marcello Mastroianni) is regarded as the ultimate lover of women\, a title he holds dear. Yet not long after marrying the beautiful Barbara (Claudia Cardinale)\, Antonio’s new obligations begin to weigh on him\, and soon he is faltering in the bedroom. In short order\, his impotence is the talk of the town\, and Antonio is a laughingstock. As he tries to repair the damage to his marriage\, Barbara considers her options for leaving.

By studying the environmental mechanisms that forced extinction and ecological change in the geologic record\, we can better prepare for and mitigate biodiversity loss in the face of present-day global environmental crises. Shallow marine ecosystems on the Florida Platform underwent a dramatic transformation over the past ~4 million years\, part of a “regional mass extinction” documented broadly around the Plio-Pleistocene West Atlantic. In this dissertation\, I resolve major gaps in the marine environmental record of the Plio-Pleistocene Florida Platform using stratigraphic\, paleontological\, and geochemical approaches\, enabling clearer evaluation of the environmental perturbations responsible for this regional extinction event.\n\nThe oxygen isotope composition of water (δ18Owater) is a useful tracer of the hydrological cycle and a critical parameter in carbonate-based (δ18Ocarb) paleotemperature studies. In Chapter 2\, I examine the controls on coastal δ18Owater variability along the U.S. Eastern Seaboard by mapping salinity–δ18Owater mixing relationships in estuaries from Maine to Florida. Relatively invariant marine δ18Owater signatures primarily track the prevailing coastal water mass\, while freshwater δ18Owater varies widely in response to regional gradients in precipitation (δ18Oprecip) signatures and evaporative intensity. Additional triple oxygen isotope (Δʹ17O) measurements of Florida river waters indicate a remarkable degree of evaporative isotope enrichment. This modern isotopic framework can be used to constrain assumptions about ancient δ18Owater compositions across this region and better interpret fossil δ18Ocarb records from coastal marine paleoenvironments.\n\nIn Chapters 3 and 4\, I present two new study sites containing fossil-rich Plio-Pleistocene sedimentary exposures in southwest (Florida Shell Quarry) and eastern Florida (Beeline Quarry)\, respectively. Detailed lithostratigraphic and biostratigraphic characterization through each of these sections enable the detailed reconstruction of local depositional paleoenvironments and relative sea-level fluctuations. The development of these new sections and their careful integration within the historical Plio-Pleistocene stratigraphic framework of peninsular Florida establishes a foundation for renewed study of Florida’s paleoecological evolution over the past ~4 Myr. At Beeline Quarry (Chapter 4)\, I further apply clumped isotope (Δ47) thermometry to fossil shells to reconstruct water temperatures and δ18Owater compositions during deposition of the Nashua Fm. (Early Pleistocene) and Fort Thompson Fm. (Late Pleistocene). Surprisingly cool temperatures and depleted δ18Owater values in both units relative to modern coastal waters likely reflect persistent influence of submarine groundwater discharge along the Atlantic Coast of Florida.\n\nIn Chapter 5\, I reconstruct parallel records of marine climates and planktonic productivity across the six major Plio-Pleistocene formations of southwest Florida and use them to evaluate longstanding hypotheses that the regional extinction event was driven by (i) cooling marine climates and/or (ii) declining primary production. Marine climate seasonality and planktonic productivity were quantified by measuring Δ47 and Ba/Ca ratios\, respectively\, along the growth axes of fossil mollusk shells. The Δ47-temperature record reveals that remarkably cool Pliocene marine climates (similar to present-day North Carolina) warmed rapidly in the Early Pleistocene\, directly contradicting earlier cooling hypotheses and suggesting that rapid warming may have instead contributed to faunal turnover. Independently\, the Ba/Ca-derived productivity record indicates that high productivity persisted until the Early–Middle Pleistocene\, after which it collapsed\, broadly supporting the productivity-driven extinction hypothesis. Altogether\, this work greatly refines our understanding of the co-evolution of life and environments on the Plio-Pleistocene Florida Platform.

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.

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 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 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.

Epigenetic modification by environmental factors is one mechanism that can link exposures to toxicity and disease outcomes. Dr. Goodrich is assessing the impact of exposures from the workplace (e.g. firefighting) or the broader environment (e.g.\, lead\, phthalates\, PFAS) on epigenetic modifications (DNA methylation) in epidemiological cohorts from around the globe using both candidate gene and epigenome-wide approaches. She integrates data on exposures\, DNA methylation\, and health outcomes to better understand disease risk from exposures at vulnerable life-stages. Dr. Goodrich is a co-Leader of the DoGoodS-Pi environmental epigenetics laboratory. She is also co-Leader of the Pan Omics and Data Sciences Core of the Michigan Lifestage Environmental Exposures and Disease (M-LEEaD) Center.

This regime governs total hadronic cross-sections\, which have long been observed to grow with energy\, a phenomenon that is still very poorly understood today. In this talk\, I will argue that the modern S-matrix bootstrap provides a systematic way to tackle this regime of QCD. I will derive an upper bound on the total cross-section at finite energy and present the strongest interacting amplitude that the bootstrap outputs. I will compare these results with proton–proton experimental data.

In addition\, materials with THz response are essential building blocks for the next generation telecommunication technology. However\, the widespread use of THz technology has long been hindered by a lack of materials with strong THz light-matter interactions for high-performance devices.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present our recent advances in two-dimensional (2D) quantum materials to overcome these limitations by leveraging their unique topological properties and exploiting the resulting strong light-matter interactions. One remarkable example is the recently discovered nonlinear Hall effect (NHE) in 2D topological semimetals\, mediated by their diverging quantum geometrical properties [1-3]. In the first part of the talk\, I will report how we use this new notion to demonstrate the long-sought THz sensing metrics [4]. Specifically\, we have experimentally studied the unique interplay among the quantum geometrical properties\, gate-tunable electron correlation and THz electrodynamics in atomically thin topological semimetals TaIrTe 4 . Building upon the nonlinear Hall effect as a new mechanism for THz rectification\, we have observed a large zero-bias responsivity (~ 0.3 A/W)\, ultralow NEP (~pW/Hz 1/2 )\, broadband THz response (0.1 to 10 THz) and ultrafast intrinsic speed (~ ps) at room temperature. The device performance can be further enhanced by introducing gate-tunable electron correlations. Thanks to the new topological physics and strong electron correlation\, the demonstrated device metrics show tremendous advantages over the attainable THz detectors based on other 2D materials and conventional technology. Beyond light probing\, the rich interplay physics in this platform also allows using light to induce more exotic order. If time permits\, I may present our ongoing efforts along this way.\n\nDetecting terahertz waves is only one half of the equation\, in the second half of the talk\, I will introduce our report of colossal THz emission from a van der Waals (vdW) ferroelectric semiconductor NbOI 2 [5]. Using THz emission spectroscopy\, we observe a THz generation efficiency that is an order of magnitude higher than that of ZnTe. We uncover the underlying generation mechanisms tied to its substantial ferroelectric polarization by investigating the dependence of THz emission on excitation wavelength\, incident polarization and fluence. Leveraging the long-lived coherent ferron-mediated THz emission\, we further demonstrate the ultrafast coherent amplification and annihilation of the THz emission and associated coherent ferron oscillations by using an ultrafast double-pump scheme.\n\nReferences:\n\n[1] Q.

DESCRIPTION:Most stars in our galaxy have one or more planets orbiting them. Their diversity is astounding\, with observed bulk densities ranging over a factor of 100. Yet there is only one planet that is confirmed to sustain life as we know it: our own. Current searches for life on planets around other stars planned with next generation ground- and space-based telescopes seek identical twins of Earth. How likely is it that we will find one and detect unambiguous signs of life around it? Perhaps the only thing harder than proving a planet hosts life is proving that it doesn’t. We are beginning to understand which aspects of the Solar System make Earth a suitable place for the biochemical origins of life\, as well as assessing how common such systems are. With new instruments such as the CGI on NASA’s Roman Space Telescope (launching this year)\, as well as METIS on the European Southern Observatories 39-meter ELT (with first light planned for 2029)\, we can detect small planets in both reflected light as well as thermal emission around stars like the Sun. This enables resolution of the radius-albedo ambiguity\, determination of its energy budget\, and the search for an active greenhouse effect\, with the possibility of identifying the responsible molecules in the spectra of its atmosphere. Doing this for even a small sample of systems will yield fundamental insights into these diverse atmospheres\, confronting our theories of planet formation and evolution. These could be necessary steps to understanding potential biosignatures in these atmospheres and ultimately help answer the question “Are we alone?”.

But even everyday habits have a history. When and why coffee became part of North American daily life is at the center of the recently published book\, Coffee Nation: How One Commodity Transformed the Early United States\, by Michelle Craig McDonald. Using a wide range of archival\, quantitative\, and material evidence\, McDonald follows coffee from the slavery-based plantations of the Caribbean and South America\, through the balance sheets of Atlantic world merchants\, into the coffeehouses\, stores\, and homes of colonial North Americans\, and ultimately to the growing import/export businesses of the early nineteenth-century United States that rebranded this exotic good as an American staple. The result is a sweeping history that explores how coffee shaped the lives of enslaved laborers and farmers\, merchants and retailers\, consumers and advertisers.

It is not immediately obvious that this digitization is robust against error in the sampled signal values. We will present an algorithm which shows that for certain types of sample error\, the Shannon-Whittaker sampling formula can be modified to recover a signal exactly even in the presence of error. We will also present several extensions of the Shannon-Whittaker sampling formula which make error recovery more stable in practice. Along the way\, we will also discuss aspects of frame theory\, which extend the idea of a basis for a vector space. Frames allow for information redundancy\, making them much more robust against noise than an ordinary basis.

Prior to his appointment\, Chance was the replacement Principal Tuba with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra for several seasons. He also held the Principal Tuba position with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic from 2016-2024. Chance has performed with the orchestras of Cleveland\, Melbourne (Australia)\, Utah\, Detroit\, Kansas City\, Iceland\, and Malaysia\, and Kalamazoo\, Michigan based New Orleans-style group\, the Kanola Band.\n\nAs a soloist\, Chance has performed recitals around the country including a guest artist recital at the 2018 International Tuba and Euphonium Conference held at the University of Iowa. Chance performed the John Williams Tuba Concerto on a subscription series with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic in February 2022\, his first solo appearance with the orchestra. In March 2019\, he had the privilege of premiering Viet Cuong’s Concerto for Tuba and Wind Ensemble with the Purdue Fort Wayne Wind Ensemble.\n\nIn the last few years\, Chance has been interested in learning about birds and loves exploring the native birds in places he gets to travel. Most recently\, he saw the critically-endangered Helmeted Honeyeater in Healesville\, Australia. In the 1980s\, its population had dropped to fewer than 60 breeding pairs in the wild\, but is slowly growing due to diligent work at sanctuaries like in Healesville. Though not explicitly bird related\, he recorded and self-produced an album of original folk songs released in January 2021 called\, “For the Birds.” The album is on Spotify and all listening sources.\n\nHis primary teachers\, who deserve much gratitude\, include Orcenith Smith\, Jacob Cameron\, and Philip Sinder.

He also fronts Dead Man Winter\, a bull-bodied\, emotionally resonant brand of Americana-infused indie rock band. He now boldly steps forward with a shining collection of new solo material for the first time under his own name called Red Tail. While Dead Man Winter's Furnace was a much-needed cathartic experience for Simonett during a dark time\, he is not connecting these songs on Red Tail to his own life as he prefers to allow listeners to develop their own interpretations. The conversational and poetic style in which Simonett writes lends itself to this perfectly\, inspired by the spacious and stark Northern woods of Minnesota\, where he's from. Drawing from the outdoors\, Simonett uses light\, weather and imagery to paint introspective\, cinematic scenes that are easy to lose yourself in.

The Symphony Band presents \"Diversions\" – a concert of music beginning with the quirky marches of Ernst Krenek written 100 years ago. Through the music of luminaries like Casterede\, Grainger and Still\, we travel to the beach\, an aquarium\, a train station\, and into a peaceful summer evening. The most enticing diversion of all comes from composer and guest electric guitar soloist\, D.J. Sparr\, who will transport us through a rocking musical landscape in his brand new concerto\, co-commissioned by the University of Michigan Symphony Band through the support of the H.

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:143613-21893506@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:20260224T144435 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260212T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260212T100000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Chair Aerobics/Stretch\, Strength & Balance/Zumba DESCRIPTION:Lifetime Fitness classes are offered at Briarwood Mall in the JCPenney wing every Monday-Friday from 9-10am.

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.

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 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 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.

However\, it is unable to address two great mysteries in physics\, the nature of dark matter and why matter dominates over antimatter throughout the Universe. Novel theories beyond the Standard Model may explain these phenomena. These models predict very massive particles whose interactions violate time-reversal (T) symmetry and would give rise to an electric dipole moment (EDM) along the spin of electron and nucleon. Thus\, searching for EDM provides a powerful probe to these new physics and sheds light on the mystery of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. \nThis talk outlines the roadmap to establish a new generation EDM measurement at Michigan State that can outperform the current generation of precision measurements testing hadronic T-violations. We report our ongoing effort at Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) to perform quantum control and sensing of 227ThO molecules and other radioactive molecules. These pave the way for quantum-enhanced test of fundamental symmetry\, projecting to constrain T-violating new physics in 10~100 TeV energy range\, exceeding what the Large Hadron Collider and its future upgrade could probe.\n\nBio:\nBorn in Hefei\, China\, I embarked on an international academic journey that took me from Singapore where I spent my undergraduate to Munich\, Germany\, where I earned both my MS and PhD. While my academic focus stays in physics\, my true passion lies in the exploration of diverse fields\, driven by curiosity. During my doctoral studies at the Technical University of Munich and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics\, I pioneered a nonconventional technique leveraging centrifugal force to decelerate molecular beams to a complete standstill.\n\nMy academic journey led me to Harvard University\, where I delved into precision molecular spectroscopy\, contributing to the investigation of fundamental symmetries in nature. Notably\, I achieved a groundbreaking milestone by measuring the most precise bound on the electron electric dipole moment\, utilizing cold Thorium Monoxide molecules as a quantum sensor.\n\nCurrently based at FRIB and MSU\, I am at the forefront of building a groundbreaking precision spectroscopy experiment. This initiative aims to synergize the rare isotope resources at FRIB with cutting-edge quantum technology in atomic and laser physics. The goal is to push the boundaries of fundamental symmetry testing\, marking a significant contribution to the field and further advancing our understanding of the physical universe.
