DESCRIPTION:“We are stardust brought to life\, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out - and we have only just begun.” Neil deGrasse Tyson\n\nDoes the North Star ever move? What stars can I see with just my naked eye? How can I find the big dipper (Ursa Major)? What can I see from my backyard tonight? \n\nJoin LSA Sustainability\, Nature Rx\, and the Department of Astronomy for a planetarium show to explore new ways to get outdoors during the cold Michigan winter nights. The show will start with an explanation of how stars are formed\, followed by a guided meditation on our physical connection to the stars\, and ending on a planetarium show of the local night sky. Learn how to identify major constellations\, spot visible planets\, and see just how large our universe is. \n\nThis event is free and open to the public\, but registration is required.

This week\, we will use this presentation to complete the proof that the Chow ring of a matroid is a Poincaré duality algebra. In particular\, we will see that the Chow ring of a matroid is isomorphic to a quotient of the Chow ring of the braid fan by the annihilator of a homogeneous element. Since the Chow ring of the braid fan is a Poincaré duality algebra\, it will follow that the Chow ring of a matroid is as well.

The prospects of a laser-accessible nuclear transition touched off a flurry of proposals to utilize this apparently unique nuclear transition as a sensitive probe of both nuclear structure and chemical environment\, to constrain physics beyond the Standard Model\, and to construct a clock with unprecedented performance. Unfortunately\, Kroger and Reich could only tell us that the transition energy was less than about 100 eV and therefore scientists have spent the intervening 48 years searching for the thorium nuclear transition. \n\nI’ll describe our efforts over the last 16 years to construct the first thorium-doped crystals and their use to perform nuclear laser spectroscopy\, resulting in a measurement of the nuclear transition energy as 8.355733(2)_{stat} (10)_{sys} eV in ^{229}Th:LiSrAlF_6 . I will also discuss recent work observing the nuclear transition in thin films of ^{229}ThF_4\; ongoing work to understand and harness the effect of the crystalline host on the isomeric transition\; and the next steps for using this transition to probe new physics and build better clocks. This work was funded by the NSF and ARO.

These qualities make experimental pursuits at Jupiter ripe for discovery. One example\, is the pursuit of the underlying physics powering Jupiter’s auroras. Prior to 2016\, the phenomenological picture of Jupiter’s northern aurora was established based on sparse ultraviolet and X-ray observations from Earth-orbiting observatories. Those auroral maps hinted that Jupiter’s auroras were driven in a much different manner than other planets’\; however\, in situ measurements were lacking to test various hypotheses. In 2016\, NASA’s Juno mission provided the first measurements of Jupiter’s polar magnetosphere and auroral regions\, and revealed that Jupiter is more complex than theories originally established. Juno has been orbiting Jupiter for over eight years and has executed 70 polar orbits with altitudes as close as a few thousand kilometers over its one-bar “surface”. This presentation will highlight Juno’s major auroral discoveries with an emphasis on its enigmatic polar cap auroral region. We will discuss how Jupiter’s space environment gives us access to a plasma parameter regime that is unlike other planets and how we can use that to explore similar and distinct properties of planetary magnetospheres. \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nGeorge Clark received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Texas\, San Antonio in 2014. George then joined the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in 2015 where his research specializes in the physics of energetic particle phenomena in the magnetospheric and auroral regions at Jupiter. He also builds energetic particle instruments for NASA and ESA missions. He is currently a science team member on NASA’s Juno mission\, the lead of the Jovian Energetic Electron sensor on ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer mission\, and the lead of the Ultra energetic neutral atom imager on NASA’s Inter-stellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe. George was awarded the NASA early career achievement medal for his scientific contributions in understanding Jupiter’s magnetosphere and auroras.\n\nThe seminar will be conducted in person and simulcast via Zoom: https://mipse.umich.edu/seminars_2425.php#winter2025 UID:130708-21866558@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130708 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Astrophysics,In Person,Michigan Engineering,Physics,Plasma,seminar,Space,Talk LOCATION:Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building - 1003 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250217T102113 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250219T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250219T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Dualizability of derived categories of algebraic stacks DESCRIPTION:A fundamental result of Neeman states that the derived category of a quasi compact separated scheme X has a property known as compact generation\, which allows one to understand D(X) in terms of a simpler subcategory. In the setting of algebraic stacks\, the question of compact generation is more subtle: it turns out to fail in some cases\, and the precise generality in which it holds is unknown. Recently\, there has been increased interest in a weakening of the notion of compact generation known as dualizability\, which still allows for many of the same manipulations that compact generation is used for. In this talk I will review this circle of ideas\, and explain a result that characterizes those Noetherian algebraic stacks with affine diagonal X for which D(X) is dualizable.

Functional graphenic materials (FGMs) are prepared through chemical modification of graphene oxide\, an allotrope of carbon with abundant carbon-oxygen functionality. The Sydlik group has found FGMs to be bio- and environmentally compatible and have applied these materials in conjunction with polymers to address a number of applications for human health. We have designed FGMs to include signaling peptides and inducerions to be cell instructive for tissue regeneration\, with 3D printed scaffolds showing promise as bone regeneration scaffolds. We have designed FGMs and polymers to serve as effective scaffold materials to remove heavy metals\, including lead\, from the body\, water\, and food. Finally\, we are designing self-assembling peptides to adsorb drugs to treat non-opioid overdose. The FGMs and polymers rationally designed by the Sydlik group have shown promise to improve the landscape of human health.

Omenn Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics Weekly Seminar Series DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Enhancers are crucial genetic elements that control tissue- and cell-type-specific gene expression in metazoans. Omic studies revealed hundreds of thousands of putative enhancers in the human genome\, many of which are associated with\, and may functionally contribute to\, human disease risk.

The multinomial dimer model\, introduced by Kenyon and Pohoata\, studies a natural but non-uniform measure on N dimer covers. While the standard dimer model (N=1) is exactly solvable only in two dimensions (i.e. on planar graphs)\, in the N to infinity limit\, the multinomial dimer model turns out to be exactly solvable even in three (or higher) dimensions. In this talk\, I will define the model and discuss new results in two and three dimensions\, including: explicit formulas for the free energy\, a large deviation principle\, Euler-Lagrange equations\, and descriptions of limit shapes and some of their properties. This is joint work with Richard Kenyon.

This talk will explore two interconnected research directions in digital health monitoring: analyzing physiological adaptation in bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients and developing mathematical frameworks for stress detection.\n\nIn the first part\, we'll examine methods for quantifying physiological acclimatization in BMT patients using continuous heart rate\, activity\, and sleep data. We'll discuss the mathematical challenges in processing high-dimensional\, temporally-correlated physiological signals and approaches for detecting significant changes during vs post engraftment period.\n\nThe second part will introduce our novel MOXIE (MultimOdal eXploration of psychological challenges in Interactive Environments) study\, which aims to characterize individual stress signatures through multiple biophysiological signals. We'll explore planned approaches for integrating diverse data streams - from continuous physiological monitoring to ecological momentary assessments to video and blood samples. Special attention will be given to emerging computational frameworks\, including applications of Long Short-Term Memory networks for temporal pattern recognition\, self-attention mechanisms for capturing long-range dependencies in stress responses\, and state-space models for efficient sequence modeling. We'll discuss how these advanced architectures might help bridge the gap between traditional time series analysis and the inherent complexity of mind-body interactions.\n\nThe talk will conclude by exploring how these mathematical frameworks could advance our understanding of psychoneuroimmunology in cancer patients. We'll discuss the potential impact on developing targeted interventions to improve survival outcomes\, particularly in understanding how psychological stress influences immune function and disease progression in cancer patients. This work aims to bridge the gap between computational modeling and personalized clinical interventions in oncology.\n\nCasual Networking Mixer:\nGraduate students\, postdocs\, and faculty\, especially those working in Applied Math are invited to a casual networking mixer after the talk.

Formally\, in the limit as $N\to\infty$\, the system takes the form of a nonlinear (McKean-Vlasov) Markov chain\, and we rigorously establish this limit. Specifically\, under the assumption that the mean field system has a unique\, exponentially stable stationary distribution\, we show that the weak error between the empirical measures of the $N$-particle system and the law of the mean field system is of order $1/N$ uniformly in time. Our analysis makes use of a master equation for test functions evaluated along the measure flow of the mean field system\, and we demonstrate that the solutions of this master equation are sufficiently regular. We then show that exponential stability of the mean field system is implied by exponential stability of solutions to the linearized Kolmogorov equation with a source term. We apply our results to study the convergence of large population games to mean field games and give a new condition for the existence of a unique\, exponentially stable stationary distribution for a nonlinear Markov chain.

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

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between.

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

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

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

PASC is the first progressive art studio and exhibition program in Detroit and Wayne County dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences to advance artistic practices and build individual careers in the art and design fields.\n\nThis exhibition introduces the PASC program\, and the wide range of styles and ways of working that drive this community of artists\, to the Ann Arbor community. The exhibition is hung salon style\, referencing the communal character of the Osterman Common Room as a social gathering space. It intends to bring engaged people together for conversation on art\, disabilities\, and questions of access in the art world.\n\nPASC embraces the philosophy that creating an artwork is an expressive and communal act whereby an individual communicates their unique perspective on the world with the world.

The hand-pulled prints in the set\, which has never been exhibited before\, span media from colorful laser cut woodblock prints\, to lithography\, to copper plate etching. The newly formed Stamps Student-led Exhibitions Committee (SEC) will curate and rotate selections of these prints in alignment with the portfolio’s theme—where time and effort transform raw potential.

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

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

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

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818045@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250214T131303 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T110000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Community Event DESCRIPTION:Weekly community events are back — join us for snacks\, coffee and conversation!

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621524@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250303T063219 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T110000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Work/Intern at Sony Japan: Information Session (UMich) DESCRIPTION:Greetings from the Global Talent Acquisition Team at Sony HQ in Tokyo! We welcome all current and recently graduated Bachelor’s\, Master’s\, and PhD students (and postdocs!) to join our information session event.

Understanding the conditions under which these phenomena emerge is of great fundamental interest and important for deterministically designing materials for new applications. In these device-integrated quantum materials\, the macroscopic responses are not solely due to the intrinsic interactions of the materials. Instead\, these interactions\, and the resulting ground state physics\, are modified by the specifics of the device integration.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss how integrated quantum materials form sub-wavelength cavities due to their micron-size\, confining low-energy light into the near field. I will introduce time-domain on-chip THz spectroscopy as a technique to capture the cavity electrodynamics\, probing the response of integrated materials to light on their natural frequency (~THz/meV) scales. This technique overcomes the mismatch between free-space THz wavelengths (~300 um) and sample size (~10 um) by measuring the optical conductivity on-chip\, in the near field\, and at finite momenta. I will illustrate how the properties of integrated quantum materials\, such as gate-tunable van der Waals heterostructures\, can be modified and controlled due to cavity effects. Using on-chip THz spectroscopy\, I observed light-matter hybridization in a gate-tunable van der Waals heterostructure\, between plasmonic self cavity modes in monolayer graphene and a graphite electrostatic gate. This hybridization can be tuned into the ultrastrong coupling regime using electrostatic gating and the cavity geometry. In this regime\, light-matter coupling can be wielded to engineer new thermodynamic ground states. Together\, these results lay a path for utilizing integrated quantum materials in novel THz quantum technologies. \n\n\nBio.\nHope Bretscher is currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter\, in Hamburg Germany\, where she investigates the low-energy electrodynamics of 2D materials.

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

Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. \n\nRegister for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/XGpyJ.\n \n The Constitution of Japan is the oldest unamended constitution in the world\, but debates over its revision have picked up steam in the last decade. Various Liberal Democratic Party leaders have declared constitutional change a top priority\, but it is unclear whether the public shares their commitment. This talk focuses on a specific distinction: whether amendments are perceived to be necessary (present urgency) versus desirable (future improvement). Professor McElwain will discuss this difference using evidence from comparative constitutional data and survey experiments in Japan.\n \n Kenneth Mori McElwain is a professor of comparative politics at the Institute of Social Science\, University of Tokyo. His research focuses on comparative institutions and Japanese politics\, with a particular emphasis on constitutional design and change. He holds a BA in public and international affairs from Princeton University and a PhD in political science from Stanford University\, and he was an assistant professor of political science at the University of Michigan before assuming his current position.

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

By learning how to listen to others' stories and share their own\, participants will uncover how narratives shape our understanding of issues and influence collective action.\nThe workshop will provide frameworks for crafting and analyzing social change narratives\, focusing on the intersection of storytelling\, grassroots organizing\, and strategic advocacy. Participants will gain practical skills to help communities reframe their stories\, empower individuals to rewrite the narratives they tell themselves\, and unite groups around shared values. Whether you’re working with students\, communities\, or policymakers\, this workshop will support you with the tools to use storytelling as a transformative strategy for social justice.\n\nKey Takeaways:\n\nLearn how to use storytelling as a tool for social justice advocacy and collective change.\nDevelop a strategic approach to narrative analysis within the context of movement work.\nGain insights into the creative process of integrating storytelling with grassroots organizing.\nExplore ways to empower communities to share their stories\, build solidarity\, and foster collective action.\n\nRegister Here: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/87875 UID:129925-21864890@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129925 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Free,Graduate Students,In Person,Social Impact,Social Justice,Undergraduate Students,Workshop LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250211T113423 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T121500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T124500 SUMMARY:Performance:New Series: Division Street Pipes DESCRIPTION:Join us as Nicholas Welch\, bachelor's student in organ and sacred music\, performs a 30-minute organ recital.\n\nThe University of Michigan Organ Department presents Division Street Pipes\, a new pipe organ recital series\, in collaboration with St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church\, located just blocks from the heart of Kerrytown.\n\nDivision Street Pipes concerts will take place on Thursdays at 12:15 pm.

The news of recalls and re-certifications in the automotive and aerospace industries is an eloquent testimony to the difficulty of system design. Many voices from government agencies\, industry\, and academia have thus called for the development of theoretical and practical tools to provide assurance of the correctness of our complex systems.\n\nAssume guarantee contracts provide a theoretical and methodological framework to compositionally design systems with rigorous guarantees. In this talk\, we will introduce contracts and their algebraic operations through case studies in space mission design and autonomous driving that show where current system design methodologies struggle. We will also introduce Pacti\, a software package that enables engineers to carry out system-level design using contracts.\n\nBio: Inigo Incer is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan\, where he leads the Complex Engineering Systems Laboratory. He obtained his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley in 2022 and was subsequently a postdoctoral researcher at Caltech. He is interested in all aspects of cyber-physical systems\, emphasizing formal methods and AI that support their compositional design and analysis.

A key challenge in the field is capturing multi-dimensional data\, such as polarization\, phase\, and fluorescence lifetime\, with high precision and efficiency\; these data provide a deeper understanding of various biomedical processes. This talk focuses on two recent advancements in optical imaging that address this critical challenge.\n\nThe first part focuses on single-molecule orientation localization microscopy. Fluorescent molecules behave as oscillating dipoles\, with their dipole orientations affecting both absorption and emission processes. By leveraging the principles of light-matter interactions and advanced statistical tools\, we have developed imaging systems capable of not only measuring the positions of individual fluorescent molecules with nanoscale resolution but also determining their orientations. This capability offers unparalleled insights into biophysical phenomena\, such as membrane-protein interactions.\n\nThe second part covers advances in computational imaging\, where optical systems are combined with computational tools\, from closed-form mathematical relations to state-of-the-art neural network-based approaches\, to enable unique multi-modal imaging and high-throughput data acquisition. Examples include a bimodal imaging system that integrates 3D fluorescence with quantitative phase imaging\, and a single-shot volumetric fluorescence imaging system capable of capturing an entire 3D scene in a single snapshot.\n\nThese advancements demonstrate the integration of optical physics\, engineering\, and computational methods to enhance the capabilities of optical imaging for biomedical applications and biophotonics.\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94337625486 UID:132276-21870699@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132276 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,Bioninterfaces,Biosciences,Biotechnology,bme,engineer,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,seminar LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL) - 1130 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241024T122905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Introduction to External Resources for Humanities Scholarship DESCRIPTION:The Humanities Collaboratory is offering its second annual Research Orientation Series beginning in September 2024.

Unfortunately\, IGM absorption prevents us from directly measuring escaping ionizing Lyman continuum (LyC) photons from z>6 galaxies. Instead\, we must investigate LyC escape using lower-redshift samples. To address this issue\, we have undertaken the Low-redshift Lyman Continuum Survey\, the largest survey of LyC emission at low redshift. With HST UV observations of 66 galaxies\, this survey has nearly tripled the number of low-redshift LyC detections\, enabling us to systematically test proposed indirect diagnostics of LyC and establish the physical properties of LyC-emitting galaxies. I will share recent results from the survey\, which is giving us new insights into feedback and the interstellar medium in highly star-forming galaxies and revealing the possible properties of the galaxies that reionized the Universe.

Carbohydrate-containing molecules\, such as human milk oligosaccharides and glycolipids\, are notoriously difficult to characterize\, largely owing to their high degrees of isomeric heterogeneity. Thus\, new analytical methodologies are required to improve the confidence of their characterization. In the first portion of this seminar\, the use of cyclic ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (cIMS-MS) in conjunction with multiple tandem mass spectrometry-based strategies is presented as a new method toward the de novo sequencing of carbohydrate-based molecules. \n\nRecently\, new insights from high-resolution ion mobility separations have revealed that mass distribution-based effects are responsible for the separation of isotopologues and isotopomers – an observation which should be impossible based on existing theory. In the second portion of this seminar\, the use of isotopic shifts to delineate amongst isomers and conformers will be discussed. Additionally\, the development of both experimental and theoretical approaches to better understand the fundamental nature of mass distribution-based isotopic shifts will also be presented.

Participants will be able to ask him about his book's argument\, his process of conducting archival research for this book\, and the process of turning his dissertation into a monograph. Participants should come having read his book\, or at least some parts (or even just one chapter) of it. \nDr. Hamed-Troyansky is a historian of global migration and forced displacement and Assistant Professor of Global Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. His research examines Muslim refugee migration and its role in shaping the modern world. He is the author of Empire of Refugees: North Caucasian Muslims and the Late Ottoman State (Stanford University Press\, 2024). Dr. Hamed-Troyansky is currently working on a transnational history of Muslim displacement in the Middle East\, Central Asia\, and South Asia since 1850. \nEmpire of Refugees reframes late Ottoman history through mass displacement and reveals the origins of refugee resettlement in the modern Middle East. Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky offers a historiographical corrective: the nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire created a refugee regime\, predating refugee systems set up by the League of Nations and the United Nations. Grounded in archival research in over twenty public and private archives across ten countries\, this book contests the boundaries typically assumed between forced and voluntary migration\, and refugees and immigrants\, rewriting the history of Muslim migration in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book has already won two awards - 2024 Gold Medal in the History (World) category\, Independent Publisher Book Awards and 2024 Alixa Naff Prize in Migration Studies\, Moise A. Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies . \n\nDr. Hamed-Troyansky has made this  digital map of over 1\,100 North Caucasian refugee villages in Turkey\, Jordan\, Syria\, and Iraq.\n I'll hope to see you all at the event! If anyone is interested in workshopping articles-in-process or dissertation chapters in March or April with the Central Asian Studies RIW please write me to let me know.

Babylonian approaches to describing and calculating astronomical phenomena were primarily – though\, as I will show\, not exclusively – through numerical modelling rather than by means of geometrical or physical models. Therein lies the rub: some historians claim that geometrical models and physical theories are a requirement of science\, and therefore\, they judge Babylonian astronomy as falling short of being true science. In this talk\, I will discuss whether this is an appropriate way to understand whether an early astronomy is scientific and\, more to the point\, show that Babylonian scholars did indeed construct theories of the behaviour of the sun\, moon\, and planets but that historians have usually been looking in the wrong place to find those theories.\n\nJohn Steele is the Charles Edwin Wilbour Professor of Egyptology and Assyriology at Brown University.

Massey creates jewelry\, sculpture\, performance\, video\, music\, and immersive environments with large-scale jewelry pieces and quilts. Massey was the first Black woman to earn an MFA in metalsmithing from the Cranbrook Academy of Art. She draws on 1980s hip-hop culture and her experiences as a Detroit native to explore the concept of adornment in African diaspora and contemporary issues surrounding race\, class\, and popular culture.\n\nMassey merges her art practice with meaningful community engagement to explore the relationship between identity\, public space\, and community. Her installation 7 Mile + Livernois\, currently on display at the Detroit Institute of Arts\, refers to the neighborhood at the heart of Detroit’s Black business and fashion district. It is also where Massey grew up\, and the site of a new art and community space Massey is building that blends her craft with her drive for community kinship. \n\nTiff Massey’s art has been featured in solo and group shows around the US and internationally\, and has garnered multiple awards. Massey’s work is in the permanent collections of many institutions\, including the Museum of Art and Design in New York and the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia. She is the winner of the 2021 United States Artists Fellowship and the 2019 Art Jewelry Forum Susan Beech Mid-Career Artist Grant\, a two-time winner of the John S. and James L.

PFC William Santiago\, a young Marine who is considered a “weak link” in his unit\, has died as a result of actions taken by two of his fellow marines. Lance Corporal Harold Dawson and PFC Louden Downey claim Santiago’s death was the accidental outcome of a routine hazing incident ordered by a superior officer. Their superior officers claim there was no such order and that the two men should be held accountable.\n\nDefending Dawson and Downey are three Navy attorneys who hold their own complicated (and sometimes conflicting) ideas of duty and honor: Daniel Kaffee\, the son of a renowned lawyer whose career casts a long shadow\; Sam Weinberg\, who will do his best to defend the accused in spite of his suspicion that they are bullies\; and Joanne Galloway\, a lieutenant commander with strong instincts and minimal courtroom experience who is dead set on uncovering the truth no matter what. This fast-paced\, high-stakes play raises timeless questions about the price of blind loyalty and the way ideals like honor and duty can be twisted until they are unrecognizable.\n\n\nWritten by Aaron Sorkin\nDirected by Geoff Packard\n\nRecommended Ages: 15+ UID:122329-21848611@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122329 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts - Arthur Miller Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250220T180010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T210000 SUMMARY:Other:Revive DESCRIPTION:Come and discover hidden gems in the Bible!  Every Thursday night\, 7:30-9:00PM\, we will have Revive at 2210 ABC in the Michigan Union.  Our usual agenda for this event includes singing\, hearing a spoken message\, and having breakout discussion.  This is a great opportunity to meet others who love the Lord Jesus and to learn more about His Word!  See you there!! 🙂\"Your word is a lamp to my feet / And a light to my path.\" (Psalm 119:105) UID:130348-21865789@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130348 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Michigan Union, 2210 ABC (Second Floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250220T121644 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:The Government Inspector DESCRIPTION:When the locals in a small Russian town learn that an undercover government inspector is coming for a surprise visit\, an unfortunate case of mistaken identity sends the whole village spiraling into a world of panic and greed.

From Schism to Union and Back: Eastern Christians and Catholic Expansion in the Age of Confessionalism DESCRIPTION:In recent decades\, there has been a resurgence of scholarship on contacts between the Catholic Church and Eastern and Oriental Churches in the pre-modern period. Spanning large swaths of Eastern Europe and the Middle East\, these interconfessional encounters were marked by fierce theological debates\, cultural misunderstandings\, political intrigues\, and complex negotiations of religious practices and beliefs. They produced greater familiarity and mutual understanding of confessional traditions in anticipation of the coveted Christian unity\, while also resulting in new schisms between and within the Churches. Since studies of these developments are often nested inside their geographically defined fields\, this workshop aims to put them in dialogue with each other\, exploring differences\, connections\, and wider patterns across the vast geography of Eastern Christianity.\n\nThis workshop explores themes of church unity and confessionalization\, conversion and religious syncretism\, knowledge production and intellectual exchange. It features papers by scholars working within different disciplinary frameworks\, including cultural history\, theology\, and art history\, with the focus on the Armenian and Ruthenian Orthodox Churches in their encounter with early modern Catholicism.\n\nWorkshop Program (Eastern Standard Time/EST)\n\n9:45-10:00 AM Welcome & Opening Remarks – Gottfried Hagen (University of Michigan) & Bogdan Pavlish (University of Michigan)\n\n10:00-11:30 AM Keynote Lecture – Cesare Santus (University of Trieste)\n*Education\, Confession\, and Devotion: Shaping Armenian Catholicism in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire*\nJust when the confessional paradigm seemed to have exhausted its heuristic potential in the context for which it was developed (sixteenth-century Western Europe)\, a new generation of scholars rediscovered its usefulness for analyzing religious polarization in the early modern Ottoman Empire and Eastern Europe Drawing on this historiography\, this lecture will focus on a specific case study: the Armenians of Constantinople and Ottoman Anatolia at the turn of the eighteenth century In their case\, contact with Catholic missionaries not only created a rift within these communities but also led over time to the construction of two distinct and opposing confessional identities Specifically\, this lecture will analyze the cultural and social tools used by both Catholic missionaries and the Armenian Apostolic clergy to build and consolidate a sense of belonging to two faith communities\, overcoming previous ambiguities and the efforts of those who did not want to choose between Rome and Etchmiadzin.\n\nPanels:\n\n11:45-1:00 PM Panel I: Confessionalism in Medieval Armenia\nDiscussant: Helmut Puff\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\n\nSergio La Porta\, California State University\, Fresno\, CA – *Tradition!?

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

Often in academic spaces\, we do not learn from the activists\, community leaders and organizers doing the work in our communities. We want to flip this narrative and provide a space for community leaders to be the teachers\, and for students to engage in this type of learning in an accessible way. \nThis past year\, the world has become more aware of the ongoing struggles of many\, including Congo\, Sudan\, and Palestine. Although we are not there\, there is a sense of urgency and responsibility for us to also advocate for the liberation of these people in addition to our own selves. We recognize how these struggles that are happening across the world are happening parallel here. Dr. King said\, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality\, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly\, affects all indirectly.” Black freedom struggles in the United States have always had global dimensions and a deep impact on others across the world.\nFor the purposes of Building Power\, we will be using the following definition of collective liberation from the Center of Racial Justice in Education: Collective liberation acknowledges that multiple oppressions exist\, and that we work in solidarity to undo oppression in ourselves\, our families\, our communities\, and our institutions\, in order to achieve a world that is truly free. Black Radical Healing Pathways chose this topic for this year’s Building power because we wanted to explore the meaning of ujima (collective work and responsibility) in current day contexts and liberation movements. \nWhile we talk about global struggles\, it is imperative to remember that we have multiple liberation movements happening on US soil today that also require collective liberation. As we work within these movements\, having the knowledge of global struggles allows us to be more intentional in our work and advocacy. Keeping the essence of Building Power’s mission in mind\, we plan on inviting speakers who have diverse experiences in multiple liberation movement spaces with impacts here and abroad.

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

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

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

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

Often in academic spaces\, we do not learn from the activists\, community leaders\, and organizers doing the work in our communities. We want to flip this narrative and provide a space for community leaders to be the teachers\, and for students to engage in this type of learning in an accessible way.
