The catalog would have surprised Athenian spectators in many ways. Not only does it have no equivalent in the authoritative accounts of the Prometheus myth transmitted in Hesiod’s Theogony and Works and Days\, but the attribution of so many arts to a single divinity breaks away from the division of divine prerogatives that underlies Athenian polytheism. In this talk\, Ms. Hopman will show how PV both celebrates and acknowledges the theological provocation raised by Prometheus\, thus negotiating for its audience the challenge raised by the ascendant popularity of the trickster god in fifth-century Athens.\n\nMarianne Hopman (Ph.D. Harvard University and Paris Sorbonne) is a scholar of ancient Greek culture with an expertise in archaic and classical poetry and special interests in literary theory\, feminist studies\, animal studies\, posthumanism\, and the environmental humanities. She is the author of Scylla: Myth\, Metaphor\, Paradox (Cambridge University Press\, 2012)\, the co-editor of Choral Mediations in Greek Tragedy (Cambridge University Press\, 2013)\, and the author of articles on Homer\, Athenian tragedy\, and Greek hymns. Her current book project\, entitled Prometheus’ Gifts: Environment and Technology in Fifth-Century Athens\, draws on the fields of Classics and the environmental humanities to offer a contemporary reading of the fifth-century BCE tragedy Prometheus Bound as an attempt to come to grips with the question of how humans and their inventions fit into the world.\n\nHopman served as director of the French Interdisciplinary Group from 2012 to 2017 and chaired the Classics Department at Northwestern University from 2018 to 2022. Honors and fellowships include the John J. Winkler Memorial Prize\, a grant from the Loeb Classical Library Foundation\, and an AT&T Research Fellowship. In early 2015\, Professor Hopman was named a Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques by the French Ministry of Culture.

Nora\, the silent observer\, drifts around the monotonous housing blocks with her big sister and her friends\, witnessing events that seem to cross-fade in the summer light. Girls who want to be slim and pretty\, boys who say dumb things to provoke or because they are in love. Ruthless smartphone cameras and fragile teenagers.

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.

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

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

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

While other insurance markets rely heavily on proxies of individual risk to set prices\, it is assumed that proxies of asset risk (e.g.\, construction quality) and environmental risk (e.g.\, flooding\, fire) dominate the risk-based pricing of home insurers. However\, as risk estimation and management have become increasingly individualized across the insurance industry broadly\, contemporary home insurers collect a vast amount of individual-level data from prospective buyers and use these variables in setting prices\, despite their tenuous connection to the underlying risk of insured events such as wildfires or hurricanes. In this study\, I use standardized industry data on home insurance quotes from 2021-2024 generated using 157 inputs about prospective buyers\, including policy details and home characteristics\, where all inputs are held constant except credit score and zip code. I find that the marginal effects of credit scores on prices are substantively large compared to the marginal effects of zip codes. A low credit individual living in a zip code at the 25th zip code risk percentile is quoted at the same price as a high credit individual living in a zip code at the 80th risk percentile. These findings have important equity implications\, as the most marginalized Americans have been filtered to the frontline of climate-related disasters in many regions of the country and now also bear a disproportionate financial burden in the redistribution of anticipated losses through private home insurance.

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.

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:84303-21621510@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:20250117T145509 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250204T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250204T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:2025 Winter Job & Internship Fair | In-Person DESCRIPTION:Winter Job & Internship Fair\n\nIn-Person\nFebruary 4th & 5th\nMichigan League 2nd Floor / 12pm - 4pm\nDifferent organizations each day\nRegistration is on-site the day of the Fair\n\n----------\n\nNote: The Virtual Day of the Winter Job & Internship Fair is February 6th from 11am - 2pm in Handshake.\n\n----------\n\nDetails for the In Person Fair\n\nConnect with more than 40+ organizations each day (in person!) featuring jobs and internships in a wide range of industries.

In some cases\, it can enhance immune responses through hybrid vigor\, providing hybrids with advantages in combating infections. My research investigates the connections between hybridization\, immunogenetic diversity\, and parasite susceptibility in small mammals\, focusing on Myotis bats and Rattus rats—key reservoirs of diverse parasites. Specifically\, I will examine how ancestral hybridization influences RNA virus tolerance in Myotis bats and explore endoparasite resistance in hybrid populations of Rattus rattus and Rattus tanezumi. Beyond the scientific goals\, I am committed to increasing accessibility and inclusivity in science. Using insights from this research\, I am developing portable science escape rooms to engage students from third grade to high school in learning about ecology\, evolutionary biology\, and bat conservation. These escape rooms will be implemented in Michigan and Belize to spark curiosity and inspire underrepresented students to pursue careers in STEM fields.

One promising avenue is dusting off the tools Sinologists utilized from the 1960s through the 1970s\, when it was impossible to contemplate the access that many of us have been able to take for granted\, but which allowed these scholars to get so many things about China right. What are these skills—the analytical tools and the strategies to deploy them—and how might we be able to adapt them to the current research climate (and the foreseeable future)? This is the subject of the SAIS China Research Center’s first publication\, featuring four eminent Pekingologists – Joe Fewsmith\, Tom Fingar\, Alice Miller\, and Fred Tiewes. Access here: https://scgrc.sais.jhu.edu/publications/\n \n Andrew Mertha is the George and Sadie Hyman Professor of China Studies\, Director of the China Studies Program\, and Director of the SAIS China Research Center at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). From 2019 to 2021\, Mertha served as the Vice Dean for Faculty Affairs and International Research Cooperation at SAIS. He has held positions as formerly a professor of Government at Cornell University (2008-2018) and an assistant professor of Political Science at Washington University in St. Louis (2001-2008). And a Michigan PhD! Mertha specializes in Chinese bureaucratic politics\, political institutions\, and the domestic and foreign policy process. Since 2009\, he has extended his research interests to include Cambodia. He has articles appearing in The China Quarterly\, Comparative Politics\, International Organization\, Issues & Studies\, CrossCurrents\, and Orbis. His fourth monograph is forthcoming in May from Cornell University Press – Bad Lieutenants: The Khmer Rouge\, United Front\, and Class Struggle\, 1970–1997.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at chinese.studies@umich.edu.

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.

Diluted Wine\, Disguised Belief: Catholic Ethnography of the Armenian Rite in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth DESCRIPTION:Bogdan Pavlish\, 2024-2025 Manoogian Postdoctoral Fellow in Armenian History\, University of Michigan\n\n Lecture Abstract: When in the mid-1660s two Catholic missionaries arrived in Poland-Lithuania to bring local Armenians into union with Rome\, they faced an unexpected challenge. Armenian clergy and laypeople were ready to accept all but one of the Catholic conditions of unification\, namely the use of diluted wine in the Eucharistic ritual. Perplexed but resolved to prove them wrong\, the missionaries began to debate this arcane issue of Christian practice and theology using all available means\, including political intrigues\, historical arguments\, and ethnographic observations. This talk focuses on a missionary expedition to Armenians of Kamianets-Podilskyi at the Polish-Ottoman border in 1666 which started with a heated dispute over the Eucharist and resulted in a detailed ethnographic account of local religious life. It revealed deep-seated differences between Catholics and Armenians which went back to late antiquity but assumed a particularly distinct shape in post-Reformation Eastern Europe. Rooted in the local context and history of long-lasting contacts between different Christian confessions\, the encounter in Kamianets-Podilskyi reflected wider patterns of cross-cultural interactions in the early modern world.\n \n Speaker Bio: Bogdan Pavlish is a historian of early modern Eastern Europe whose research focuses on the Armenians of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. He is currently the 2024-25 Manoogian Postdoctoral Fellow in Armenian History at the University of Michigan after having earned his PhD in history from Northwestern University in 2024. His dissertation\, entitled ‘Nothing Exotic but Ourselves: Cross-Cultural Encounters in the Armenian Diaspora of Poland-Lithuania in the Seventeenth Century\,’ examines the role of the Armenian communities of Lviv and other towns of present-day Ukraine in cultural\, commercial\, and diplomatic exchanges between Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Bogdan is currently working on his first book project\, which explores themes of distance\, difference\, and translation at the intersection of the early Armenian diaspora\, Catholic missionization\, and multicultural societies of Eastern Europe in the seventeenth century. His research draws on primary sources in several languages from archives and libraries in Ukraine\, Poland\, the Vatican\, and Armenia. His writings have appeared in the Journal of Early Modern History and Ab Imperio.\n\nRegister at https://umich.zoom.us/j/91400542424 UID:128851-21861699@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/128851 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:armenian,Armenian Studies,international institute,Lecture LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 555 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250127T093017 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250204T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250204T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Scanning time-resolved optical studies on Kagome superconductors DESCRIPTION:The kagome lattice provides a fascinating playground to study geometrical frustration\, topology and strong correlations. The newly discovered kagome metals AV_3Sb_5 (A = K\, Rb\, Cs) exhibit exotic phases including charge density waves (CDWs) and superconductivity. In our study\, we perform scanning birefringence and circular dichroism (CD) microscopy on CsV_3Sb_5. The scanning birefrigence demonsate six-fold rotational symmetry breaking in the CDW phase and three domains that are 120 degree to each other. The emergence of opposite CD domains within the same birefringence domain\, along with field-induced CD switching\, indicate broken time-reversal symmetry. Furthermore\, ultrafast pump-probe reflectivity measurements reveal a splitting of charge density wave induced phonon modes in all three birefringence domains. Such a breaking in degeneracy corroborates the six-fold rotation symmetry breaking in the charge ordered phase. I will also discuss the CDW fluctuations from the pump-probe measurement.\n\nReferences\n\n[1] Y. Xu\, Z. Ni\, Y. Liu\, B. Ortiz\, Q. Deng\, S. Wilson\, B. Yan\, L.

In the context of these energy applications\, it is necessary to understand factors that control the kinetics and selectivity of electrochemical reactions. At the electrode level\, many factors\, including the chemical composition\, atomic or molecular structure\, surface area\, and morphology\, have been leveraged to direct electrochemical reactions. An emerging strategy is to geometrically confine the electrochemical reaction within a porous electrode material. This places a physical boundary around the electrochemical reaction and thus defines the reaction microenvironment\, while also spatially restricting the reactants and products. Experimental studies of nanoconfinement effects on electrochemical reactions require electrochemical interfaces with well-defined environments. In this presentation\, I will discuss our materials chemistry approach to define the confined electrochemical environment within molecularly pillared transition metal oxides\, and our study of electrochemical reactions taking place within these electrodes using in situ and operando electrochemical methods.

Inference for probabilistic models poses significant computational challenges\, particularly as models grow in complexity and datasets increase in size. Modern hardware\, with its parallelization capabilities\, offers new opportunities to accelerate statistical inference. However\, many traditional methods are not inherently designed for parallel computation. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)\, for instance\, typically relies on a few long-running chains. I propose an alternative approach: running hundreds or thousands of shorter chains in parallel. To support this paradigm\, I introduce the nested “R-hat\,” a novel convergence diagnostic tailored for the many-short-chains regime\, paving the way for faster and more automated MCMC. \n\nNext I examine variational inference (VI). VI already leverages the parallelization capacities of modern hardware\, however it lacks the theoretical guarantees of MCMC and other statistical methods. I present two key theoretical results: (1) a positive result demonstrating that VI can effectively learn symmetries even under misspecified approximations\, and (2) a negative result revealing that factorized (or mean-field) approximations lead to an impossibility theorem\, preventing the simultaneous estimation of multiple measures of uncertainty . These findings provide practical guidance for selecting VI’s objective function and approximation family\, offering a path toward robust and scalable inference.\n\nhttps://charlesm93.github.io/ UID:129244-21862372@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129244 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 411 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250516T153130 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250204T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250204T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foundations of Community Engagement DESCRIPTION:Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop that introduces principles and practices of equitable\, ethical community engagement. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means\, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy\, activism\, policy\, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement\, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships\, center community-defined priorities\, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations.\n\n**This workshop is an updated version of Ginsberg’s long-standing Entering\, Engaging\, and Exiting (E3) session.

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. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\n*The exhibition is cosponsored by the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum*.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

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.

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.

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

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:84303-21621511@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:20250115T181509 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250205T110100 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250205T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Stampede DESCRIPTION:Born from their passion for the arts\, The Stampede is a student-led organization building a new space for artists. In September 2023\, four undergraduates united with a simple mission: to create a space for showcasing exciting new art work. They established a foundation and worked to build a buzz through outreach and excitement. The Stampede first hosted a pop-up exhibition (party) at a friend's house\, exhibiting 53 pieces of original work\, with food\, drink\, and music\, and a smashing turnout from the local community. They have since evolved\, developed an infrastructure\, and grown into a platform for dynamic art work.\nToday\, The Stampede curates and facilitates exhibitions and events that bring together artists\, writers\, and musicians. From pop-ups and art markets to concerts and gallery shows\, they provide a vibrant platform for creativity for the community. The organization has broken new ground on multiple accounts to pave new ways for artists today and tomorrow\; bridging the divide between student and school. Functioning as an artist collective\, The Stampede focus on creating large-scale artworks\, promotional materials\, and merchandise for their events.\nThis exhibition offers a glimpse behind the scenes of The Stampede: its origins\, current endeavors\, and future aspirations. Since its inception\, The Stampede has continuously surprised with its growth and transformation. Committed to providing opportunities for artists\, they will keep hosting events for their community and friends.\nJoin The Stampede in their journey\; they invite you to... RUN WITH US!

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

Together we will read \"Thinking Through the Environment\, Unsettling the Humanities\" (2012)--the introductory piece to the Environmental Humanities journal's first volume--and Kyle Whyte's more recent piece\, \"Against Crisis Epistemology\" (2021). Reading the evolution of the field across these two pieces\, we will discuss how the EH journal initially imagined what it meant to be engaged in this work versus now. What concerns defined EH at its discursive advent\, and in what ways have those investments remained the same and/or shifted? For those who do not necessarily consider themselves to be environmental humanists but are interested in learning more about how the field has been historically characterized\, this event may be of interest!

After reviewing known vacuum solutions to general relativity with a negative cosmological constant in 2+1 dimensions\, I will present a gluing theorem for the corresponding vacuum general-relativistic initial data sets. By gluing two given vacuum initial data sets at infinity\, we obtain new vacuum initial data sets. I will sketch the derivation of the mass formulae of the resulting manifolds. For the case of the BTZ black hole\, by invoking usual black hole thermodynamics\, our mass formulae may be interpreted as entropy formulae. Our gluing theorem yields complete manifolds with any mass aspect function\, which are smooth except for one conical singularity.

Drawing on the American Time Use Survey Extract Builder (ATUS-X)\, this talk will highlight how we can visualize the gendered dimensions of time allocation\, with potential applications ranging from policy-making to workplace reform advocacy.\n\nThe talk will discuss new methods for visualizing time-use data\, including tempograms\, transition diagrams\, and activity flow paths. It will also introduce updates to R packages specifically designed for researchers analyzing ATUS-X and other time-use data to generate clear and compelling visual narratives of daily time patterns—particularly those that underscore gender gaps in paid and unpaid work\, caregiving\, and leisure activities.\n\nIn addition to introducing these visualization tools\, the presentation will explore potential methodological innovations with sequence analysis and machine learning techniques. Sequence analysis offers opportunities to uncover temporal patterns and transitions across activities\, while machine learning applications—such as clustering and predictive modeling—can enhance our understanding of time-use behaviors and their implications.

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.

(...in your own words) DESCRIPTION:MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series\nFebruary 5\, 2025\n12:00 - 1:00 pm\n\nIn person\, room G300 in the Perry Building\, and via Zoom.\nThe Zoom call will be locked 10 minutes after the start of the presentation. \n\nWhat would you do with £500? (...in your own words)\nCoauthors: Thomas Crossley (University of Michigan)\, Peter Levell (Institute for Fiscal Studies\, London) and Sofia Sierra Vasquez (University of St. Gallen\, Switzerland). \nA longstanding puzzle in macroeconomics is why individuals with similar levels of available liquidity can have very different marginal propensities to consume (MPCs). We use a new approach to better investigate differences in consumer behaviour in response to hypothetical\, one-off gains and losses: using open-ended questions and text analysis to understand the motives underlying consumers' decisions. We find little evidence that misunderstanding of the question or other response errors explain the puzzling responses. High-liquidity individuals with high MPCs often cite mental accounting motives. Apparently illiquid individuals report a range of coping mechanisms in response to a loss\, including labour supply responses\, relying on friends and family and selling possessions. This implies greater effective liquidity than narrow financial measures indicate. The analysis provides an example of the utility of open format survey questions in understanding economic behaviour. \n\nThomas (Tom) Crossley is a Research Professor in SRC and Director of the Panel Study for Income Dynamics (PSID). He is also a co-investigator (and former Associate Director) of Understanding Society (The UK Household Longitudinal Study\, sister study to the PSID). From 2016 to 2022 he was an ONS Fellow and member of the Office for National Statistics' Economics Experts Working Group (the ONS is the National Statistical Agency in the UK) and he was also for many years an advisor to Statistics Canada. Tom is an elected member of the Conference on Research in Income and Wealth (CRIW) and previously served as an elected Council Member for the International Association for Research in Income and Wealth (IARIW). His research interests include household behaviour\, financial security\, and living standards\; the design\, collection and analysis of survey data\; and economic measurement more broadly.

Recent experiments have reported fractional quantized anomalous hall states — the analogue of fractional quantum hall (FQAH) states but at zero magnetic field — in twisted bilayers of MoTe2 and rhombohedral graphene systems. When should we expect such unusual topological phases\, and what new phenomena should they have? To answer these questions I first introduce the framework of “vortexable” or “ideal” Chern bands. Vortexable bands have a fixed operator that introduces a vortex into any band wave function while keeping the state entirely within the same band\, just as in the lowest Landau level. Such bands admit trial wave functions for FQAH states\, akin to Laughlin states\, that are exact many-body ground states for short-ranged interactions in the absence of dispersion. Nearly-vortexable bands appear in twisted MoTe2\, explaining their fractionalized physics. I will present many body calculations showing tMoTe2 should admit a broad composite Fermi liquid phase (a non-Fermi liquid) centered around 3.6°. I will then shift to the stranger case of rhombohedral graphene whose fractional phases may be due to an anomalous Hall crystal\, a topological analogue of a Wigner crystal. Finally\, I will present an optical signature involving “extinguished” circular dichroism as a means to identify nearly-vortexable Chern bands.

Accurate temperature diagnostics are essential for understanding material behavior under such conditions\, but traditional methods are often hindered by opacity and limited sensitivity. Using high-resolution inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) at facilities like the Linac Coherent Light Source and European X-ray Free Electron Laser\, we developed an advanced diagnostic capable of directly probing bulk ion temperatures. This technique leverages the exceptional resolution and narrow bandwidth of IXS to detect small energy shifts and broadenings in scattered X-ray spectra\, offering unprecedented insights into the ion dynamics of matter in extreme states. In this talk\, I will highlight how IXS has been utilized to address: (1) Electron-ion equilibration rates in warm dense matter\, (2) superheating of solids to temperatures far exceeding their theoretical stability limits\, (3) bond hardening under non-equilibrium conditions\, and (4) Ion-acoustic wave propagation. The ability to directly measure ion temperatures and dynamics not only advances understanding of fundamental physics but also opens pathways for experimental research in HED science and beyond.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nThomas White is an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Nevada-Reno. He earned the MS in physics from the Univ. of Bath (2005) and Ph.D. in Atomic and Laser Physics from Univ. of Oxford (2015)\, where his dissertation earned the Culham Thesis Prize. Before joining UNR in 2017\, he was a postdoc at Imperial College London and Univ. of Oxford. White’s research focuses on the behavior of matter under extreme conditions\, using high-power optical and X-ray free-electron lasers to replicate environments found in planetary interiors and fusion plasmas. His work combines experiments at facilities such as the NIF and the European X-ray Free Electron Laser with advanced quantum-mechanical simulations. His research is supported by the Department of Energy\, National Nuclear Security Administration\, and National Science Foundation. In 2021\, White received the NSF CAREER Award and UNR’s Mousel-Feltner Excellence in Research Award. He currently serves as Chair of the Jupiter Laser Facility Executive Committee and Deputy Chair of the High Energy Density Science Association.\n\nThe seminar will be conducted in person and simulcast via Zoom: https://mipse.umich.edu/seminars_2425.php#winter2025 UID:130706-21866557@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130706 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:In Person,Michigan Engineering,Physics,Plasma,seminar,Talk LOCATION:Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building - 1003 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250122T121921 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250205T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250205T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Du Bois invariants for isolated singularities DESCRIPTION:The Du Bois invariants are natural invariants for singularities.

This water moves within watershed boundaries\, but does not respect political boundaries. If we are going to address the threat of more extreme rainfall\, drier dry spells and more freeze/thaw events in Southeast Michigan\, we must collaborate across municipal boundaries and think about upstream and downstream solutions. The Huron River Watershed Council is partnering with U of M and other research institutions to build resilience to climate change in our river and watershed communities. While we must foster collaboration between local governments\, we must also foster watershed education and develop stewardship values in young people. The Clinton River Watershed Council is partnering with U of M to do this work by enhancing student streamside experiences and incorporating climate change into curriculums. Regionally\, both Clinton River Watershed Council and Huron River Watershed Council are actively working with sister watershed groups across Southeast Michigan on collaborative initiatives that respond to the impacts of climate change through action\, including deep investments in green stormwater infrastructure. \n\nAbout the Speakers \nRebecca Esselman\, Executive Director\, Huron River Watershed Council\n\nRebecca Esselman is the Executive Director of the Huron River Watershed Council. She has more than 20 years of experience in water resource management and river protection.

Black-on-Black Solidarity: Falasteen between George Jackson and Kwame Ture (An Anti-Curator’s Talk) DESCRIPTION:How do revolutionary movements of the past challenge today’s trending rhetorics of solidarity? Inspired by George Jackson in the Sun of Palestine (2015\, West Bank) and Sur les Traces du Black Panther: Kwame Ture/Stokely Carmichael (2018\, Guinea)\, this presentation examines the contrast between revolutionary solidarity grounded in praxis and the contemporary commodification of solidarity as mere rhetoric.\n \n Revisiting the revolutionary theories of George Jackson and Kwame Ture\, it reframes Black internationalism and Black-Palestinian solidarity while addressing the erasure of Black Palestinians. By moving beyond liberal and neoliberal co-optations\, the discussion highlights how historical commitments to solidarity can inform and inspire resistance today. Correspondence between Jackson and Fatma Bernawi further illuminates the revolutionary principles that continue to resonate.\n \n Greg Thomas\, a native of Southeast Washington\, D.C.\, teaches Black Studies and Literature at Tufts and Howard Universities. He is the author of The Sexual Demon of Colonial Power and Hip-Hop Revolution in the Flesh and co-editor of Word Hustle: Critical Essays on Donald Goines.\n \n As founding editor of PROUD FLESH: An e-Journal for the Critical Study of Black Culture\, Thomas has published extensively and guest-edited for CR: The New Centennial Review and Black Camera. Currently\, he is completing a book on George Jackson and curating exhibitions like George Jackson in the Sun of Palestine\, which debuted in the West Bank\, and A Black Panther Reawakens\, exploring revolutionary thought and activism.\n\nRSVP here: https://myumi.ch/pk46A UID:129355-21862537@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129355 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:international institute,Lecture,Middle East Studies,mlk day event,north africa LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250205T085905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250205T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250205T180000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Biological Station Information Session for Prospective Students DESCRIPTION:Students are invited to an Information Session on Zoom to learn about the courses being taught at the University of Michigan Biological Station in northern Michigan during the four-week spring and summer terms in 2025.\n\nUMBS welcomes all majors and minors.

The brain’s plasticity during early years allows children to easily acquire language through interaction and exposure. Critical periods of development ensure that the foundational skills for speech and language are built efficiently\, leading to better communication abilities as children grow. In this talk\, Dr. Chang will provide an overview of how children acquire speech and language\, and what may go awry in this process\, leading to speech and language disorders.\n\nSoo-Eun Chang\, Ph.D.\, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan. She received her MS degree and clinical training at Vanderbilt University\, her Ph.D. in Speech and Hearing Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, and trained as a postdoctoral research fellow at the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Chang’s research program focuses on examining the functional neuroanatomical mechanisms supporting speech motor control\, and neural bases of developmental stuttering.

As the show begins\, we meet Nate\, “a hypermasculine\, adrenaline fueled\, protein powder enthusiast … a man’s man.” (NPR) Performed by Natalie Palamides in drag\, Nate careens between making the audience laugh and making them uncomfortable\, earnestly asking for permission while manipulating audience members to comply. The constant mixed signals come to a head with conflicting interpretations of consent — though perhaps not in the ways you would expect. This clever and provocative deconstruction of toxic masculinity sticks with you long after the performance ends.\n\nCONTENT WARNING\nThis production contains overt sexuality UID:121969-21847862@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121969 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Advocacy,American Culture,Ann Arbor,Anthropology,Art,art and design,artists,artists and curators,arts,Comedy,Culture,Energy,Human Rights,Humanities,In Person,Interdisciplinary,Media,Mindfulness,North Campus,performance,Social,social justice,Social Sciences,Storytelling,theater,UMS,university musical society,visual arts,Well-being LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Arthur Miller Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250205T180019 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250205T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250205T213000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:Star Wars Watch Party DESCRIPTION:Come join some fellow Star Wars fans and watch iconic story arc episodes from Star Wars the Clone Wars!

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

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

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.

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:107870-21818033@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:20250328T143454 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250206T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250206T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Culture Change Foundations: Improving Workplace Climate DESCRIPTION:Course details and registration are available on the Organizational Learning website.

Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

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:84303-21621512@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:20250117T145541 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250206T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250206T140000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:2025 Winter Job & Internship Fair: Virtual in Handshake DESCRIPTION:The University Career Center is excited to host the Winter Job & Internship Fair Virtual In Handshake\n\nFebruary 6th\n11am-2pm\n\n\n• Sign-up for Virtual 1:1 sessions & Group Sessions runs Jan. 30 (11am)-Feb 6th (2pm)\n\n .................................................\n\nHow the Virtual Fair works\nOrganizations create:\n-1:1 sessions and/or Group Sessions (informal visits with organizations)\n- 1:1 sessions are 10 minutes long\n- Group sessions are 30 minutes long with up to 50 participants\n\nStudents:\n- Reserve (schedule) 1:1 meetings and/or group sessions\nJanuary 30th(9am) - February 6th (2pm)\n\n\nBefore the Fair\n\n- Complete your Handshake Profile (under your initials in upper right corner)\n- Set your Profile to \"Community\" in \"Settings & Privacy\" (under your initials in upper right corner)\n- Upload current resume\n\nSign-up for Sessions January 30th (9am) - February 6th (2pm)\n\n- In \"Events\" select \"WinterJob & Internship Fair: Virtual\"\n- Review participating organizations in \"Available Sessions\"\n- Click the organization(s) you are interested in to reserve 1:1 or group sessions\n- For Group Sessions: select \"confirm\" to sign up\n- For 1:1 Sessions: select a time that works for you and then \"confirm\" to sign up (red dots indicate sessions that conflict with sessions you have already scheduled)\n\n\nDay of the Fair\n\n- Login to Handshake and navigate to 2025 Winter Job & Internship Fair: Virtual\n- Click on the \"Your Sessions\" tab\n- Click on \"Launch Video\" to join the session.

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

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

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

Our general approach is to cleave these bonds with transition metal catalysts to trigger the addition reactions. Our mechanistic work in this area elucidated the role of Lewis base and Lewis acid additives in these reaction through a combination of initial rate kinetics\, natural abundance 13C isotope effects\, control experiments\, and crossover studies. In alkene aminocyanation\, Lewis acid reactivity can dominate the reaction – in some cases acting as the sole catalytic agent. For cyanoamidation\, we established a linear solvation energy relationship between enantioselectivity and solvent polarity through construction of a Kamlet-Taft multiparameter solvatochromic equation. Our mechanism-focused approach paved the way for the application of cyanoamidation in the total synthesis of the alkaloid (+)-eburnamonine. I will present our lab’s work on applying these lessons to the madangamine alkaloids via a palladium-catalyzed C–C bond functionalization cascade reaction. Finally\, I will present our re-entry into the popular area of alkene hydroacylation. We have developed chiral 2-aminopyridine co-catalysts capable of useful levels of enantioinduction in Rh-catalyzed hydroacylation. Catalyst development and applications in synthesis will be presented.

First\, I will talk about discovering the multiple scales of armed conflict. Second\, I will discuss an old characterization of firms as \"information processors\,\" but one that still remains enigmatic because the use of information inside a firm has been largely unseen.

Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. \n\nRegister for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/r84Ae.\n \n In November 1896\, a newspaper reported that Prince Komatsu\, a member of the imperial family\, had viewed a photographic dance performance on Thomas Edison’s Kinetoscope\, featuring a moving image titled *The Dance of Geisha* from Kyoto’s Gion\, which was later exhibited in Kobe as part of a sideshow before touring Osaka and Tokyo. Recognized as Japan’s earliest publicly exhibited moving image\, its recording and exhibition circumstances remain unknown. This talk examines the cultural and historical significance of the film—now accessible on platforms like the Library of Congress under the title Imperial Japanese Dance—while exploring how this “unknown dance” became framed as a geisha dance and investigating the performers’ origins in the 1890s.\n \n Mariko Okada is the 2024–25 CJS Visiting Scholar and a professor at the Faculty of Humanities\, J. F. Oberlin University in Tokyo\, Japan\, and she previously served as the CJS Toyota Visiting Professor in 2012–13. Her research focuses on traditional Japanese performance\, particularly geisha practices in Kyoto and the experiences of Japanese female performers in the United States during the Meiji period. She is the author of *The Birth of Kyōmai: Inoue-ryu Dance in Nineteenth-Century Kyoto\, Japan* (written in Japanese)\, which won the 2013 Suntory Prize for Social Sciences and Humanities\, and has contributed to several English publications\, including “Before Making Heritage: Internationalisation of Geisha in the Meiji Period” in *Making Japanese Heritage* (2009)\, “Interlude Nihonbuyo: Classical Dance” in *History of Japanese Theatre* (2016)\, and “Masking Japanese Militarism as a Dream of Sino-Japanese Friendship: Miyako Odori Performances in the 1930s” in *Corporeal Politics: Dancing East Asia* (2020).\n \n *This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu.
