SUMMARY:Exhibition:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban 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.

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Luke Miratrix\, Professor of Education\, Faculty Director Doctor of Education Leadership Program\, Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Matching promises simple and transparent causal inferences for observational data\, making it an attractive approach in many settings\, especially given its easily communicated and intuitive rationale. Matching methods “match” treated units to control units with similar covariates\, with the goal of achieving joint covariate balance between treated and control units\, as would be expected in a randomized experiment. In practice\, however\, standard matching methods often perform poorly compared to more recent approaches such as response-surface modeling and balancing. Finding close matches for treated units becomes particularly challenging when there are many covariates and overlap is low\, which can lead to imbalanced matched treatment groups\, biased effect estimates\, or low effective sample sizes. Building on a host of literature\, including synthetic control methods\, classic matching approaches\, and coarsened exact matching\, we propose Caliper Synthetic Matching (CSM) to address challenges with finding quality matches while preserving simple and transparent matching diagnostics. CSM\, a version of radial matching\, is an adaptive caliper matching method that utilizes locally built synthetic controls to adjust for inexact matches. By combining adaptive calipers and synthetic controls\, CSM produces data-driven bounds on potential extrapolation biases while exploiting local linearity to interpolate in a principled manner. Due to the local nature of CSM\, we can also detect which units are more difficult to match and assess degree of overlap.  We can even locally adapt caliper width to more tightly control bias in information dense regions. We show that CSM belongs to the monotonic imbalance bounding (MIB) class of matching methods\, and that it improves upon the bias bounds for popular MIB methods such as coarsened exact matching. We finally give theoretical results on an inferential strategy that allows for reuse of controls by different treated units (matching with replacement).

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:American Institutions Group
DESCRIPTION:The American Institutions Group (AIG) is a Rackham interdisciplinary workshop for faculty and graduate students that meets twice a month to discuss recent and forthcoming research on American political institutions (e.g. Congress\, the presidency\, state legislatures and executives\, the courts\, and the bureaucracy). Our key goals are to offer new and varied perspectives for graduate students to harness in their own dissertation work on American political institutions\; encourage conversations that breed new research ideas\; and spur innovative collaborations among our participants. AIG participants are scholars in political science\, public health\, social work\, public policy\, and economics interested in examinations of American political institutions from the perspective of these disciplines.\n\nFaculty Coordinators: Charles R.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AMS Ages on Adhered Carbonized  Food Residues from Ceramic Vessel Interior Walls: Retrospective and Current Research Directions
DESCRIPTION:This collaborative overview of the use of adhered carbonized food residues\, sometimes referred to as “food crusts”\, will attempt to achieve several goals. First\, we will provide a personalized historical backdrop to the early applications of Accelerator Mass Spectrometer (AMS) dating to carbonized cooking residues on the interior walls of ceramic vessels. This historical framework will also introduce early examinations of the taphonomy of such residues\, as well as the various skepticisms that arose about the accuracy of resulting AMS ages. Second\, among the acknowledged benefits of this relatively new approach was recognition that such ages were direct dates on one or a series of cooking behaviors\, rather than an age on datable materials in near\, or not so near\, physical association with objects of interest. This benefit was often initially focused on chronology building. Subsequent research extended to questions about the freshwater reservoir effect and offsets and evaluation of stable isotope content particularly with respect to the presence of maize/ The latter included analysis of plant microfossils. Finally\, we present current collaborative residue research\, including questions regarding the effects of different pretreatments to samples\, the statistical consistency of multiple age assays\, and age variations in the interior wall locations from which samples derive. The latter will employ Upper Great Lakes examples for illustration.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Political Mobilization\, Authority and Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:We live in a moment of intense global political mobilization. Popular movements—both state and non-state—are reshaping political life by preserving\, contesting\, and reworking state power. As the boundaries between citizen and subject\, resistance and authority\, become increasingly blurred\, long-standing frameworks for understanding collaboration and power demand reconsideration.\n\nThis workshop centers the figure of the intermediary—particularly colonial intermediaries who operated as both agents and instruments of imperial rule. We invite scholars to explore how these actors complicate binary narratives of resistance and collaboration\, coercion and consent. How do we account for the moral ambiguity\, partial complicity\, and aspirational authority of those who worked in the shadow of power as translators\, clerks\, soldiers\, chiefs\, informants\, and community figures within popular movements and state-making projects?\n\nJoin us for a conversation that revisits power\, agency\, and political belonging across historical and geographic contexts.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Seminar> When Division Leaves a Message: Midbody Remnants as a New Type of Actively Translating Extracellular Vesicle
DESCRIPTION:The midbody remnant (MBR) is now recognized as a unique\, large extracellular vesicle (EV) that originates from the midbody structure formed during cytokinesis. Recent studies show that MBRs harbor active translation machinery and a distinctive set of RNAs and proteins\, including key cell fate\, pluripotency\, and oncogenic transcripts. Unlike canonical small EVs\, these post-abscission MBRs maintain regulated protein synthesis and can influence recipient cell behavior\, indicative of their novel role in intercellular communication. The identification of MBRs as translating EVs not only broadens our understanding of EV diversity but also offers new opportunities for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in cancer\, stem cell biology\, and tissue regeneration.\n\nHost: Babli Adhikary\, MCDB Community Engagement Committee

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:AI as Self-Discovery: How Large Language Models Reveal the Essence of the Human Mind\, and Why It Matters
DESCRIPTION:Most discussions of artificial intelligence center on its instrumental role—how it will transform industries and economies. But it may do something even more radical: reveal who we are. As artificial minds become more capable\, they will expose the deep principles underlying human thought—how reasoning\, agency\, and creativity actually work. AI thus offers not just a technological revolution but a humanistic one. This new self-understanding\, I argue\, will force us to rethink core ideas about mind\, agency\, and the basis of praise and blame.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Navigating the New North: Data Insights About the Changing Canadian Consumer Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Long-standing relationships and consumer behaviour between Canada and the United States experienced a significant shift in 2025 in part due to trade negotiations between the two nations. Canadians reacted to these changes by promoting a ‘buy-Canadian’ focus and choosing to travel less frequently to the United States.\n\nUsing data from Statistics Canada and other Canadian sources\, we will discuss how these trends are reflected in the data and will highlight how socio-economic conditions have changed during this period of transformation between our neighbouring countries.\n\nThis webinar is part of the 2026 ICPSR Data Fair @ Love Data Week. For more information\, please visit myumi.ch/ICPSRLoveDataWeek.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. The webinar will be recorded\, and the recording\, along with the slides (when available)\, will be made available in the 2026 Love Data Week YouTube playlist at https://myumi.ch/y1jm8.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Sprout symmetric functions (Combinatorics Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss certain sequences (R_0\, R_1\, ...) of symmetric functions that we call *sprout symmetric functions*. Many examples of sprout symmetric functions have already appeared in the literature\, connected with such topics as the symmetric function generalization of the Tutte polynomial of a graph\, Hirzebruch's L-genus\, and zeta polynomials of binomial posets. We first consider basic properties of sprout symmetric functions\, in particular\, their expansion into classical bases for symmetric functions. Especially interesting is the Schur function expansion\, which is closely related to the Edrei-Thoma theorem from the theory of total positivity. We conclude with some examples that unify and generalize results from the theory of permutation enumeration.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Towards parameter-free continuum models of materials
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  The behavior of solids beyond standard linear elasticity remains a central challenge in computational mechanics\, particularly when microstructural effects and non-linear processes arise. In this context\, continuum solid mechanics has seen significant progress\, with a plethora of constitutive models developed over the past decades to address these issues. Yet\, while scalable\, such constitutive modeling approaches introduce uncertainty through phenomenological assumptions and tuning parameters. Hence\, in this talk\, we pivot towards micromechanical models that naturally capture effective emergent behavior\, with examples including granular materials and metamaterials. To recover scalability\, we explore multiscale methods that bridge micromechanics and the continuum scale\, leveraging data-driven computing or variational homogenization to arrive at parameter-free constitutive laws. Recent advances and open issues in these areas will be discussed.\n\nContact:  Silas Alben

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department Colloquium: Ian Campbell (Heidelberg)
DESCRIPTION:I am an Akademischer Rat (Assistant Professor) at Heidelberg University\, currently serving as a Vertretungsprofessor (Visiting Professor) for the Chair of Ancient Philosophy at Tübingen University. Before coming to Heidelberg\, I held postdoctoral positions at the Munich School of Ancient Philosophy (LMU Munich)\, at the Human Abilities Center (Humboldt-University Berlin) and at Princeton University\, where I also completed my PhD in 2019. I grew up in the Bitterroot Valley in Western Montana and studied Philosophy and Classics at the University of Montana before coming to Princeton. \n\nMy research is centered on ancient Greek theoretical philosophy\, with a particular emphasis on metaphysics and philosophical methodology in the works of Plato and Aristotle\, as well as in certain Presocratic and Sophistic thinkers. An overarching focus of my research is on the ways in which Plato and Aristotle demarcate philosophy from rival intellectual pursuits\, such as sophistry and rhetoric. My current research project is a monograph on Aristotle's theory of fallacy in the Sophistici Elenchi. I also have research and teaching interests in classical Indian philosophy (esp. Madhyamaka and Nyāya) and environmental philosophy.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Introduction to derived deformation theory
DESCRIPTION:In algebraic geometry\, one often encounters the question of infinitesimally deforming an object of interest such as varieties and coherent sheaves\, and classical deformation theory offers one framework to answer such questions.   \nIn this talk\, I will introduce a more modern perspective of deformation theory via derived algebraic geometry and give some motivations for taking this alternative perspective as well as applications without delving into technical details. The knowledge of derived algebraic geometry will not be assumed\, and I also plan to review classical deformation theory in the talk as well.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Mini-Talks
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences will hear three mini-talks from current graduate students.\n\nAdriana Brown: The evolution of seawater temperature and oxygen isotopes in the Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway using carbonate clumped isotopes\n\nThe Western Interior Seaway (WIS) was a vast epicontinental sea that inundated North America in a series of transgressive-regressive marine cycles from the Early to Late Cretaceous. The WIS has been studied as a classic shallow Cretaceous seaway with a complex stratigraphic record of the interplay between tectonics\, climate\, sea level\, basin evolution\, and faunal evolution. However\, fundamental questions remain unresolved regarding the WIS\, including how seawater temperatures and oxygen isotope compositions (δ18Ow) varied latitudinally and through time. A robust record of reconstructed temperature and water isotopes could help explain paleoceanographic and environmental conditions in the WIS\, but this has traditionally been challenging due to limited sample coverage and poor constraints on δ18Ow. Here\, we use carbonate clumped isotopes (𝚫47) measurements of 119 well-preserved oysters to reconstruct temperature and δ18Ow from the Albian to Maastrichtian between 25 to 57 °N. This dataset approximately triples the amount of 𝚫47 WIS temperature and δ18Ow values published to date. From this\, we find that in each time period the seaway remained consistently warm through all U.S. latitudes and may have been influenced by freshwater runoff from emerging highlands. Canadian temperatures indicate a cooler and potentially less saline water source entering the seaway from the North. We relate these changes in temperature and isotopic composition to global and regional sea level fluctuations\, tectonic regimes\, and paleocirculation dynamics.\n\n--\n\nRory Sweedler: Topographic diversity gradients revealed among latest Cretaceous multituberculate mammals\n\nToday\, mountainous regions are hotspots of mammalian biodiversity\, forming patterns known as topographic diversity gradients\; however\, interactions between mountain uplift and mammalian biodiversity in deep time are poorly understood. I compare the taxonomic diversity of a group of mammals\, multituberculates\, from two sites from the latest Cretaceous of Wyoming during the uplift of the North American Cordillera. Higher species richness of multituberculates at the mountain-proximal site compared to the mountain-distal site\, nearly 400 km to the east\, is interpreted as evidence of a topographic diversity gradient. Similarities in faunal composition between mountain-proximal sites across the latest Cretaceous Western Interior of North America suggest tectonic processes as important drivers of mammalian biodiversity and community composition in the past and present.\n\n-- \n\nMack Taylor: The Failed Supervolcano Spirit Mountain (Avi Kwa Ame) and The Critical Role of Basalt and Pre-existing Aplite Dikes in Producing Eruptible High-SiO 2 Rhyolite\n\nHigh-SiO2 (≥76 wt%) rhyolite (HSR) is the most differentiated magma on Earth. Generally restricted to thin (<20 cm) aplite dikes within arc granitoids\, voluminous accumulations of HSR in plutonic rocks are rare at subduction zones but do occur in regions of continental extension. Among the few examples known is the Miocene bimodal (granite-diorite) Spirit Mountain pluton of the Colorado River Extensional Corridor\, NV. Evidence from the literature shows the ~6 km thick (x ~25 km) pluton assembled incrementally via sheets of low-SiO2 rhyolite over a 2 m.y. interval. It features a ~1.5 km thick leucogranite cap (76-78 wt% SiO2) that zones down through ≥4.5 km of coarse granite into a quartz monzonite\, which contains abundant mafic enclaves. Within the coarse granite\, discrete silicic segregations and aplite dikes are found with a HSR composition\, like the leucogranite cap. However\, there are distinct compositional differences\, including a relative depletion of middle rare earth elements\, reflecting the presence of titanite during melt segregation. This horseshoe REE pattern is not seen in the leucogranite cap\, which instead features a seagull pattern\, indicating that titanite melted out when it formed. Previous studies have emphasized the role of compaction in a crystal-rich mush to drive segregation of interstitial melts\, producing the leucogranite cap and quartz monzonite (cumulate) base. In this study\, we test a modification of this model and examine whether the HSR leucogranite cap formed by episodic partial melting of the granitic base\, driven by the influx of hot\, H2O-rich fluids from deeper\, degassed basaltic intrusions. We further explore the role of pre-existing aplite dikes during partial melting of the granitoid host. These eutectic HSR aplite dikes would have melted completely when the host granitoid was only partially molten (with titanite melted out). The initial ascent of the aplite dikes would have drawn voluminous partial melt out of the host granite. We show that resulting molten high-SiO2 rhyolite dikes ≥0.5 m width (exceeding critical widths) could have ascended through several km of sub-solidus granite at ≥ 600°C. Presumably\, if an influx of basalt had intruded beneath the leucogranite cap\, releasing hot fluid\, it could have induced its rapid melting and thus eruption of HSR with a seagull REE pattern.

SUMMARY:Presentation:The Elasticity of Empire: Palestine\, War\, and the Point of the List
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines how US empire operates as a topological formation that projects its national security apparatus through mediated arrangements of power\, mobile technologies\, and blurred genres of rule that link far-flung sites in intimate and often indeterminate ways. Drawing on over a decade of research conducted in Palestine on the embedding of Washington’s counterterrorism regime into monetary transactions and aid flows inbound to the Palestinians\, this talk presents a different analytic of the US war state – one that realizes its destructive effects not only through spectacular modalities of violence and warfare\, but increasingly so\, through a quieter\, temporally stretched process of constriction that progressively erodes conditions of livability through forced disconnection and isolation.\n   \n   ---\n   \n   Lisa Bhungalia is an Assistant Professor of Geography and International Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and core faculty member of the Middle East Studies Program. Their research examines evolving modalities of late-modern war\, empire and transnational linkages between the US and Southwest Asian and North African region. Their first book\, Elastic Empire: Refashioning War through Aid in Palestine\, published by Stanford University Press in 2024\, traces the deepening entanglements of aid\, law\, and war in Palestine with attention to the surveillance and policing regimes produced through the embedding of counterterrorism laws and infrastructures into civilian aid flows. They are also currently developing new research on the embedding of sanctions regimes into global circuits of finance. They are the recipient of the Middle East Studies Association 2024 Albert Hourani Book Award\, the Middle East Monitor 2024 Palestine Academic Book Award\, and the American Association of Geographers 2025 Glenda Laws Award\, and their research has been supported by the American Council of Learned Societies\, National Science Foundation\, and Palestinian American Research Center\, among other bodies.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at is-michigan@umich.edu.

DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/dg461\n \nOver the last forty years\, the Government of India has rapidly expanded access to primary education. As a result\, India has achieved near-universal enrollment in education\, previously a pox on India's social development record. At the same time\, there has been an explosion in private education. What explains this double movement? I argue that the expansion of government education in a society marked by caste hierarchies has led to the exit of upper caste groups to private schools and a decrease in state-level public funding for governmentm education. Together\, they help explain the case of Indian education that exhibits high enrollment\, high aspirations\, high private school access\, and low quality.\n   \n   Emmerich Davies is a research fellow at the School for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan. He works on comparative politics with a regional focus on South Asia and comparative work in Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa. He is interested in the politics of service provision and bureaucratic politics.

SUMMARY:Performance:Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir
DESCRIPTION:The internationally acclaimed Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir\, under the direction of Tõnu Kaljuste\, celebrates the famed Estonian composer Arvo Pärt and the indelible mark he has left on choral singing and classical music over his 90 years. As a composer\, Pärt has changed the course of music — both within and beyond the classical sphere. Profound\, powerful\, and beloved worldwide\, his work transcends time and space\, taking us beyond everyday existence into another realm.\n\nThe EPCC is well-versed in interpreting the spiritual depth and minimalist aesthetic that characterize Pärt’s music\, having often premiered and performed his works under his direction. Renowned for their resplendent sound\, the ensemble was named one of the 10 Best Choirs in the World by BBC Magazine\, as anyone who has attended one of their previous six UMS concerts in Hill Auditorium and St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church can attest.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:LACS Exhibition. 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

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

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

SUMMARY:Tours:Saturday Sampler Tour | Love and Marriage in the Ancient World
DESCRIPTION:Spend your Valentine’s Day at the Kelsey\, where we’ll explore artifacts related to love and marriage in the ancient world. Along the way\, we’ll look at images of goddesses associated with love and marriage\, as well as words about both elite and more average people. And as always\, we’ll ask what the artifacts can tell us about people in the ancient world! While we’ll definitely see some statements of love\, an important thing to keep in mind is that marriage—for the most part in the ancient world—was a very practical matter\, designed to produce children and make strategic alliances between powerful people.\n\nThis event is free and open to all visitors. If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Performance:On a Winter's Night
DESCRIPTION:Due to an unforeseen injury to Patty Larkin\, On A Winter’s Night will be a trio format\, featuring John Gorka\, Cliff Eberhart\, and Lucy Kaplansky. The show will go on\, and the length and spirit will not change.\n\nPresenting the 2026 Reunion Tour of “On A Winter’s Night” from veteran singer-songwriters that remain among the brightest stars of the singer-songwriter movement for the past three decades. In 1994 Christine Lavin gathered them together\, along with folk and Americana artists to showcase music of the Winter Season on the now-classic On A Winter’s Night CD\, followed by several years of touring collaborations. These artists have released dozens of recordings and toured steadily through the decades\, with fond memories of their touring days together. The winter season is again celebrated by these unique and popular performers\, back together by popular demand.\n\nCLIFF EBERHARDT One of the most original songsmiths currently on tour\, Eberhardt is a highly intelligent\, articulate artist whose penetrating and profound lyrics are sometimes overshadowed by his extraordinary guitar playing. Upon close listening\, the Philadelphia-born singer’s gift for the English language is abundantly clear. The words that tumble from his mouth are framed by a raspy yet deeply elegant voice. \n\nJOHN GORKA Hailed by Rolling Stone as “the leading singer-songwriter of the New Folk movement\,” John Gorka is perhaps the quintessential singer-songwriter of the 90’s folk scene. Originally from New Jersey\, John served an apprenticeship at Godfrey Daniels coffeehouse in Bethlehem\, PA\, then the Greenwich Village Fast Folk scene. Winning the prestigious New Folk award at the Kerrville Folk Festival\, in 1984\, he was then signed to Red House Records on which he released his landmark first of 17 recordings\, I Know. \n\nLUCY KAPLANSKY Blending country\, folk and pop styles\, Lucy has the unique ability to make every song sound fresh\, whether singing her own sweet originals\, covering country classics by June Carter Cash and Gram Parsons\, or singing pop favorites by Lennon/McCartney and Nick Lowe. A Billboard-charting singer and one of the top-selling artists on Red House Records\, she has topped the folk and Americana radio charts and has been featured on shows throughout the world from NPR’s Weekend and Morning Editions to BBC Radio to CBS Sunday Morning.

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.

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.

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

SUMMARY:Performance:Terence Blanchard and Ravi Coltrane
DESCRIPTION:The year 1926 saw the birth of two towering figures who reshaped the landscape of 20th-century music: Miles Davis and John Coltrane. In this limited tour\, two of today’s most visionary musicians come together to honor their legacies in a concert that is more than just a centennial tribute\, but a living\, breathing continuation of their spirit.\n\nSaxophonist Ravi Coltrane has spent his career carving out his own voice while remaining deeply attuned to his father’s innovations in an approach that is both reverent and exploratory. Trumpeter Terence Blanchard brings his deep connection to Miles Davis’s legacy through his own groundbreaking work and his deep study of Davis’s fearless artistry. Together\, they lead an ensemble of world-class musicians in a testament to the genre’s endless evolution\, drawing inspiration from classic works while creating something unmistakably new.\n\nThis concert marks Terence Blanchard’s UMS debut and Ravi Coltrane’s second appearance\, following his memorable 2006 performance with his mother\, pianist and harpist Alice Coltrane.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Movie Night - Unmistaken Child
DESCRIPTION:A rare\, intimate journey into faith\, reincarnation\, doubt\, and karma. Unmistaken Child follows a young monk (Geshe Tenzin Zopa\, ALC's Khyentse Visitor) on an extraordinary mission: to find the reincarnation of his beloved teacher\, one of Tibetan Buddhism’s great masters. Traveling through remote Himalayan villages\, his search unfolds not as spectacle but as a deeply human story of love\, loss\, and responsibility. With breathtaking landscapes and quietly powerful moments\, the film captures the fragile space where ancient tradition meets real lives. There is no narration telling you what to believe—only faces\, silences\, and the emotional weight of a decision that will forever change a child and his family. Both moving and unsettling\, Unmistaken Child invites viewers to witness a living spiritual tradition while asking timeless questions: How do we recognize another soul? What is the cost of being found? Tender\, beautiful\, and unforgettable\, this acclaimed documentary lingers long after the screen goes dark.

SUMMARY:Performance:RJ Cowdery\, Katie Dahl\, and Hope Dunbar
DESCRIPTION:Songwriters in the round\n\nRj Cowdery writes the kind of songs that sneak up on you—quiet\, honest\, and armed with just enough wit to keep you on your toes. Hailing from southeastern Ohio\, with Appalachian roots woven into her stories\, she balances heart-tugging ballads with a sly grin and the occasional perfectly timed zinger. Along the way\, she’s earned top honors at Mountain Stage NewSong\, Kerrville New Folk\, Sisters Folk Festival\, to name a few. Fellow musicians call her “the real deal\,” audiences call her music “a warm blanket\,” and she just calls it “medicine.”\n\nHope Dunbar has been a pioneer of what she calls \"New American Prairie style\,\" crafting semi-autobiographical songs that transform everyday life into art. Her work has garnered recognition\, including being a three-time finalist at the Kerrville New Folk Song Contest. After residing in a small town in Nebraska\, Dunbar relocated to New Jersey\, bringing her unique \"Big Sky sound\" to the East Coast. \n\nClear-eyed and tough-minded\, songwriter/playwright Katie Dahl is known for her smart songs\, wry wit\, and wise spirit. A small-town celebrity on the Wisconsin peninsula where her family has lived for 175 years\, Katie is also an internationally touring\, radio-charting artist who “delivers razor-sharp lyrics with a hearty\, soulful voice” (American Songwriter). In live shows that are both courageously honest and devilishly funny\, Katie dives deep into questions of land and love\, family and body image\, grief and joy. “In unsettled times\,” says Peter Mulvey\, “Katie Dahl brings us a grounded spirit.”

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.

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).

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban 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.

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

DESCRIPTION:In this fast-paced\, ever-changing\, increasingly globalized world\, we need to be able to understand how to work effectively with many different types of people to reach our goals. In this workshop\, we will focus on cultural intelligence (or CQ\, as it is often called) to assess your own cultural values and behavioral preferences while understanding where others may be coming from. Participants will have the opportunity to practice how to navigate cultural misunderstandings that may occur within your research or a major project team and develop plans for how to continue building your cultural intelligence.\n\nThis workshop is open to all master’s and Ph.D. students and postdocs at the University of Michigan. If you have any questions\, please reach out to rackhampdeworkshops@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra Seminar: On Kawamata-Viehweg Vanishing for Surfaces of del Pezzo Type over Imperfect Fields
DESCRIPTION:Vanishing theorems are foundational tools in the Log Minimal Model Program\, with the Kawamata-Viehweg Vanishing Theorem being one of the most important. However\, these fail in positive characteristics. Fano varieties and their log generalizations are expected to behave better in this setting. In this talk\, we prove the Kawamata--Viehweg vanishing theorem for surfaces of del Pezzo type over imperfect fields of characteristic p>5 and discuss consequences to threefold singularities.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Seminar Series on Social Connection: Kathleen Casto
DESCRIPTION:Kathleen Casto\nKent State University\nThe Hormone-Brain Dynamics of Social Positioning\n\nFeb. 16\, 2026\n\nABOUT THE SERIES\n\nThe Winter 2026 RCGD Seminar Series: The Ties that Bond: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Social Connection\n\nThis seminar series brings together senior and early-career scholars to explore fundamental questions about how we connect\, protect\, and care. Talks will highlight lifespan and comparative approaches to understanding social connection\, physiological implications of social and race-related stressors\, and diverse conceptualizations of what it means to belong—from romantic and parent–child relationships to group and societal dynamics to technology-mediated interactions.\n\nRobin Edelstein\, Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan and an affiliate of the Research Center for Group Dynamics\, has organized this series. She will introduce the series at this kick-off event that doubles as a faculty meeting.\n\nThe first seminar in the series will be Jan. 26. Join us on Mondays to learn about the biological\, social\, and developmental pathways that shape human connection.\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Robin Edelstein\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Automorphic Representations and Optimal Quantum Logic Gates
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Any construction of a quantum computer would require finding good sets of quantum logic gates: finite sets of 2^n-by-2^n unitary matrices that efficiently and computably approximate arbitrary unitary matrices through short products. We explain a connection between constructing these gate sets and automorphic representations (extending ideas from the Lubotzky-Phillips-Sarnak construction of expander graphs). Using this\, we explain how to input analytic bounds proven using the endoscopic classification to produce the first provable constructions of optimal \"golden\" gate sets for more than one qubit.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Liberation Statistics: Making Data for Alternative Worlds in India and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the role of statistical practices in decolonizing the world. It follows the work of Pandurang Sukhatme at the Indian Council of Agricultural Research and at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and Amílcar Cabral as surveyor for the Portuguese colonial government and guerrilla leader in Guinea Bissau. Their engagement with statistics\, namely with sampling and randomization\, enables the historical weaving of projects of world governance at the UN\, Indian independence\, and West African liberation movements. In this connected history of decolonization\, statistical methods are central to denounce the injustices of the colonial order\, but also to unveil forms of agency from below for worldmaking after empire.\n\nTiago Saraiva is Professor of History at Drexel University\, author of Fascist Pigs: Technoscientific Organisms and the History of Fascism (MIT Press\, 2016)\, which was awarded the Pfizer Prize for best scholarly book by the History of Science Society in 2017\, and co-author of Moving Crops and the Scales of History (Yale University Press\, 2023)\, also awarded best book in 2024 by the Society for the History of Technology and the World History Association. He is an historian of science and technology interested in the connections between science\, technology\, crops\, and politics at the global scale. After revisiting the history of European fascism through stories of technoscientific organisms such as wheat\, pigs\, and sheep\, he has recently completed a transnational study on the history of cloning oranges and cultivating whiteness in California\, South Africa\, Algeria\, Palestine\, and Brazil. His new project explores the connected histories of statistical methods and liberation movements in the global south\, from India to West Africa\, from Brazil to the South of the US. Saraiva is now finishing coediting the three volumes of the Cambridge History of Technology to be published in 2026/2027.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:On Revival: Hebrew Literature between Life and Death with Roni Henig
DESCRIPTION:Roni Henig's recent book\, On Revival: Hebrew Literature between Life and Death (UPenn Press\, 2024)\, is a critique of one of the most important tenets of Zionist thinking: “Hebrew revival\,” or the idea that Hebrew—a largely unspoken language before the twentieth century—was revitalized as part of a broader national “revival” which ultimately led to the establishment of the Israeli nation-state. This story of language revival has been commemorated in Israeli popular memory and in Jewish historiography as a triumphant transformation narrative that marks the success of the Zionist revolution. But a closer look at the work of early twentieth-century Hebrew writers reveals different sentiments. The book explores the loaded\, figurative discourse of revival in modern Hebrew literature. Rather than embracing “revival” as a neutral\, descriptive term\, Henig takes a critical approach\, employing close readings of canonical texts to analyze the primary tropes used to articulate this aesthetic and political project of “reviving” Hebrew. The event is a workshop-style discussion of the book with the author. A brief introduction will be circulated ahead of the event.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Transition Asymptotics for the Real Solutions of the sinh-Gordon Painlev\'e III
DESCRIPTION:We consider solutions of the sinh-Gordon Painlev\'e III equation\n\[\nu_{xx} + \frac{1}{x} u_x = \sinh u\n\]\nthat are real on \((0\, \infty)\). They are parametrized by the monodromy parameter \( p \in \overline{\mathbb C} \)\, \( |p|>1 \)\, and an additional real parameter \( s^{\mathbb R} \) when \( p=\infty \). We describe the transition between singular solutions (\( |p|<\infty \)) and smooth solutions (\( p=\infty \))\, as \( x \to +\infty \) and \( p \to \infty \) given that \( 2\Im(p)=-s^\R\).\nThis presentation is based on the ongoing work with Maxim Yattselev.
