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.

These are states of Being and form the foundation of psychological balance\, emotional wellness\, and mental clarity\, leading to a life filled with happiness\, fulfillment\, and purpose.\n\n*Clarity* is the state of being where one is free from duality and delusions and receives inner guidance from the heart. Living from the heart means aligning your thoughts\, actions\, and decisions with your deepest truths\, values\, and intuitive wisdom. It involves embracing love\, compassion\, authenticity\, and a genuine connection with yourself and others. When you live from the heart\, clarity arises naturally because your actions and choices are guided by an inner sense of purpose and harmony.\n\n*Alignment with Authenticity*\nWhen you live authentically\, you align with your true self\, free from societal pressures or ego-driven motives. This alignment eliminates internal conflict\, making decisions simpler and clearer.\n\n*Intuition as a Compass*\nThe heart connects you to your intuition\, which often knows the truth beyond the mind’s doubts or distractions. By trusting this inner wisdom\, you can navigate life’s complexities with confidence and clarity.\n\n*Freedom from Overthinking*\nThe heart operates through feeling and presence\, while the mind often overanalyzes and creates confusion. Living from the heart quiets mental noise\, allowing clarity to emerge effortlessly.\n\n*Focus on What Truly Matters*\nThe heart prioritizes love\, connection\, and meaning over superficial concerns. This focus helps you distinguish between what is essential and what is trivial\, simplifying life and fostering clear decision-making.\n\n*Resonance with Universal Truths*\nThe heart is attuned to universal principles like kindness\, gratitude\, and harmony. Acting in alignment with these truths brings clarity\, as your actions are rooted in timeless wisdom rather than fleeting desires.\n\n*Inner Peace and Emotional Balance*\nThe heart is a source of calm and centeredness. When you are emotionally balanced\, clarity flows naturally because you are not clouded by reactive emotions or fears.\n\nClarity in the workplace leads to decisions that are based on values and reflect authenticity and purpose\, leading to inclusivity\, collaboration and growth.\n In this session\, you’ll learn how to develop clarity through the practice of meditation and living from the heart. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore this foundational cornerstone of well-being though in-depth discussions and insights from meditation.\n\nThe session is Remote over Zoom and upon registration you will have the Zoom MeetingId and Passcode\n*See Related Links for registration* UID:130741-21866613@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130741 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Well-being LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250122T135520 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250212T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250212T130000 SUMMARY:Well-being:Winter Blues & Sleep DESCRIPTION:Campus Mind Works\, in collaboration with the College of Engineering's C.A.R.E.

In the special case when our matroid is the uniform matroid of rank and dimension n\, the Chow ring agrees with the Chow ring of the permutahedron\, a particularly nice toric variety. I will show that in this case\, the simplicial generators correspond to nested quotients of matroids on n elements. The tool I will introduce relating the two are Minkowski weights\, which give an alternate description of the Chow rings of toric varieties. Either at the end of my talk or in our talk week\, we will use this relationship to analyze the kernel of the surjection from the Chow ring of the permutahedron \Sigma_n to the Chow ring of a matroid with ground set [n]\, leading to a proof of Poincare duality.

Your heartbeat is maintained because cells contract in a synchronous wave\; some bird species synchronize their motion into flocks\; quantum synchronization is responsible for laser action and superconductivity. \n\nThe transition to synchrony\, or between states of different patterns of synchrony\, is a dynamical phase transition that has much in common with conventional phase transitions of state – for example solid to liquid\, or magnetism – but the striking feature of driven dynamical systems is that the components are “active”. Consequently quantum systems with dissipation and decay are described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians\, and active matter can abandon Newton’s third law and have non-reciprocal interactions. This substantially changes the character of many-degree-of-freedom dynamical phase transitions between steady states and the critical phenomena in their vicinity\, since the critical point is an “exceptional point” where eigenvalues become degenerate and eigenvectors coalesce.\n\nWe will illustrate this in several different systems – a Bose-Einstein condensate of polaritons\, models of multicomponent active matter such as flocks of birds\, generalized Kuramoto models\, and others. We argue that there is a systematic theory and generalized phase diagram\, and corresponding universality behaviors determined by the symmetry of the models. \n\n[1] Fruchart et al.\, Nature 592\, 363-369 (2021)\n[2] Hanai et al.

For example\, while waiting for an interview\, in line at a M-Den\, or in an elevator on campus\, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like\, “Did you watch the FootballGame last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation. If you areinterested in learning more about \"small talk\"\, now it’s your chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk as an international student. In this workshop\, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers!

Omenn Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics Weekly Seminar DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nAdvancements in multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing neuroimaging\, offering solutions to longstanding clinical and operational challenges. This talk explores how foundation models trained on large-scale\, multimodal datasets can optimize diagnostic accuracy\, streamline workflows\, and address healthcare disparities. By leveraging diverse neuroimaging data\, these models integrate visual and linguistic modalities to extract generalizable features\, enabling precise diagnostics across a wide spectrum of neurological conditions. Their capabilities extend to real-time applications\, such as intraoperative decision-making\, where rapid and interpretable predictions enhance surgical outcomes. These AI systems demonstrate superior performance compared to traditional methods\, achieving high diagnostic accuracy while maintaining fairness across patient demographics and healthcare settings. Emphasizing scalability and generalizability\, these approaches not only improve diagnostic workflows but also reduce bias and expand access to advanced neuroimaging in low-resource environments. Attendees will gain insights into the transformative potential of multimodal AI\, from improving patient care to setting new benchmarks in the integration of artificial intelligence into healthcare systems.\n\nBio:\nAssistant Professor of Neurosurgery\, Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics\, and Computer Science and Engineering.

Lions in his lectures at the College de France in November 2016. As originally stated\, the problem does not fit in the usual categories of control problems considered in the literature\, so its solution requires new ideas\, if not new technology. In his lectures\, Lions emphasized some of the major differences with the analysis of classical stochastic optimal control problems and in so doing\, raised the question of the possible differences between the value functions resulting from optimization over the class of Markovian controls as opposed to the general family of open loop controls. While the equality of these values is accepted as a \"folk theorem\" in the classical theory of stochastic control\, optimizing an objective function whose values strongly depend upon the past history of the controlled trajectories of the system is a strong argument in favor of differences between the optimization results over these two different classes of control processes. The goal of the talk is to elucidate this quandary and provide elements of response to Lions' original conjecture. We shall report on the solution of the \"soft killing\" case published in a joint work with M. Lauriere and P.L.Lions in the Illinois Journal of Mathematics\, a recent \"conditional mimicking\" theorem proven with D. Lacker\, and further investigations currently worked out with S. Daudin.

Presented as part of a residency sponsored by the Sally Fleming Guest Master Class Fund.\n\nJIM SELF is a Los Angeles based freelance and studio musician\, a veteran of thousands of motion pictures\, television shows and records\, and tuba soloist on many prominent movies. His tuba was the \"Voice of the Mothership\" in *Close Encounters of the Third Kind*. Other solos can be heard in many of John Williams' sound tracks including *Home Alone* I & II\, and *Jurassic Park*\, James Horner's *Casper*\, Jerry Goldsmith's *Dennis the Menace* and Marc Shaiman's *Sleepless in Seattle*. For many years he was first tuba for John Williams\, James Horner\, James Newton Howard\, John Debney\, and others.

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. 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.

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.

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:84303-21621518@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:20250108T083229 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250213T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250213T140000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Winter Housing Fairs DESCRIPTION:The winter housing fair events offer students a great opportunity to learn more about off-campus housing options in and around Ann Arbor.

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).

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.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nIn today’s polarized world\, women leaders who have navigated immense barriers to reach the very highest levels encounter uncharted territory once they get to the top. They often face harsh judgments and heightened scrutiny. While some stakeholders may certainly be receptive\, many others may either overtly or covertly raise concerns about women in leadership positions.\n\nDrawing from her cutting-edge research\, Aparna Joshi will share a stakeholder-first approach organizations can take to counteract bias and foster a more inclusive environment at the highest levels\, helping to reduce friction and the spread of misinformation about women leaders in a polarized environment. She’ll discuss how mapping stakeholders and developing customized strategies based on motivations and the sources of uncertainty or anxiety can help resist or deter gender biases.\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to enhance your understanding of a stakeholder-first approach and its implications for building a more equitable and inclusive leadership landscape. Join us to discover actionable insights and strategies you can implement in your organization to support women’s leadership and curb bias effectively.\n\nAbout Joshi:\nAparna Joshi is a Professor of Management at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. Over the past twenty years\, Aparna’s research has focused on how social differences translate into inequality with a specific focus on gender inequality across a range of professional settings such as among scientists\, lawyers\, engineers and chief executives. In these occupational contexts\, although women and minorities have made significant human capital gains\, fundamental barriers to future progress remain. Her research aims at building actionable theoretical models that can inform practices aimed at reducing barriers and enhancing inclusion in these settings. She has received numerous awards including the Cummings Award for Early to Mid-Career Scholarly Achievement\, one of the highest professional honors in the field\, by the Organizational Behavior Division of the Academy of Management and she was appointed a Fellow of the Academy of Management in 2019. She has also been featured on Stanford’s list of the top 2% of research scientists in the world. Prior to joining Michigan Ross\, she was on the faculty of the Smeal College of Business\, Pennsylvania State University and at the University of Illinois\, Champaign-Urbana. \n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and Samuel Zell & Robert H.

Please apply to attend through the RSVP form\n\nAs advances in healthcare and standards of living continue to improve\, life expectancy is increasing and countries worldwide are experiencing a demographic shift towards older populations. This shift brings many challenges and opportunities related to healthcare\, wellbeing\, and productivity. While healthy aging is as much a concern in the Global South as it is in the Global North\, available data sources have historically tended to be restricted to the latter. This has caused a disparity in our understanding of global aging. New datasets from MICDA will help U-M researchers better understand the challenges and opportunities in both the Global South as well as the Global North so that we can begin to address these issues globally. \n\nJoin the Michigan AI Lab and the e-Health and Artificial Intelligence (eHAIL) program for an in-person discussion on the opportunities and challenges of AI-powered tools and approaches to enable healthy aging globally. U-M researchers working in aging & health will briefly present on new data sources & projects.\n\nTable discussions with domain experts in health\, aging\, survey research & artificial intelligence will form the core of the event.

Professor Malik develops tools to fight against fake multimedia. He has created a method to detect computer-generated audio at near 100% accuracy and is now turning to fake multimedia detection in real time. Malik's current tools can differentiate real from fake audio at the microscopic level with specific markers. These tools can be used by newsrooms\, social media platforms\, and smart speakers. Professor Malik will discuss the current state of fake media and the strategies used to identify it as well as approaches to verify authenticity.

He received his PhD from UC Berkeley in 2020. He has been the recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER Award and the Deans’ MLK Spirit Award. His research has been recognized by multiple awards\, including six best paper awards from INFORMS\, such as the 2023 INFORMS Junior Faculty Interest Group Best Paper Award\, the 2024 INFORMS Data Mining Best General Paper Award\, and the 2022 INFORMS Computing Society Best Student Paper Award. He serves as an Associate Editor for the INFORMS Journal on Data Science\, and as an area chair for several premier conferences\, including NeurIPS\, ICML\, and ICLR. His research is currently supported by two grants from the National Science Foundation and one from the Office of Naval Research.\n\nAbstract: In contemporary machine learning\, realistic models exhibit increasing nonconvexity and overwhelming overparameterization. This nonconvex nature often leads to numerous undesirable or \"spurious\" local solutions\, while overparameterization exacerbates the risk of overfitting. Yet\, simple “short-sighted” algorithms\, such as gradient descent (GD) or its variants\, often find the needle in the haystack: they converge to low-dimensional solutions even when such structures are neither explicitly encoded in the model nor required by the algorithm. This talk delves into explaining this desirable performance of GD-based algorithms by studying their fine-grained trajectory on over-parameterized models\, spanning from low-rank models to deep neural networks.

They are high-amplitude bursts of X-ray radiation recurring every several hours and originating near the central black holes in galactic nuclei of low-mass galaxies. So far\, only a handful of such events has been found\, although with rising interest in the broader community given their observational and theoretical connection with tidal disruption events and\, possibly\, low-frequency gravitational wave sources. Some of the latest models suggest that these eruptions are triggered by extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs)\, in which the secondary stellar body interacts with the accretion flow of the primary massive black hole. I will outline the observational properties of QPE sources and the latest insights from theoretical models\, including their tantalizing connection with LISA EMRis.

In the US\, the outmoded frameworks of data regulation expose the specter of historical policies that still haunt the cloud wherever it touches the ground. These traces of the past have staggering implications. The effects of this protracted failure of regulatory imagination range from the gutting of the public interest and the loss of digital civil liberties to the creation of a surveillance society that began at the onset of the computer age. By looking through a historical lens\, we can identify the deep footprints of these regulatory power struggles to use lessons from the past to create better paradigms for the future.\n\nJennifer Holt is Professor and Chair of the Film and Media Studies Department at the University of California\, Santa Barbara.

Introducing viscosity is one way to resolve some of these small-scale effects. In this talk\, we examine the vanishing viscosity limit near the formation of a generic shock in one spatial dimension for a class of viscous conservation laws which includes compressible Navier Stokes. We provide an asymptotic expansion in viscosity of the viscous solution via the help of matching approximate solutions constructed in regions where the viscosity is perturbative and where it is dominant. Furthermore\, we recover the inviscid (singular) solution in the limit\, and we uncover universal structure in the viscous correctors. This is joint work with John Anderson and Cole Graham.

In this talk\, I will outline mechanistic links between changes in the diversity and structure of microbial communities and variations in fundamental environmental variables\, including available nutrients\, temperature\, and salinity. Overall\, my work shows the power of combining theory-informed controlled experiments with data from communities in natural habitats to get a mechanistic understanding of the principles governing microbial community assembly.

We discuss how AI technologies mediate religious expression in the digital age and the implications of blending sacred and secular visual vocabularies in the pursuit of piety. This is the second event in the GISC “Muslims in the Digital Age” series.\n\nChristoph Günther has a background in Islamic Studies\, Arabic and History and is currently conducting research on the ways in which Muslim actors employ (moving) images on social media platforms to articulate their interpretation of how Islam should be lived\, proclaimed and interpreted. He combines his media analyses with an ethnographic approach to the ways in which Muslim practitioners engage with such imagery in the course of their religious and media practices\n\nPlease note - this event has been moved entirely online.

These cohomology groups are of interest in several areas of mathematics\, and computing them has proven extremely difficult. One approach to studying these groups is via \"Steinberg modules\"\, which are defined in terms of certain simplicial complexes. After giving a brief introduction to these objects\, I will describe a combinatorial way to put a product and coproduct structure on the Steinberg modules\, and discuss recent work of Ash-Miller-Patzt that used this to deduce a Hopf algebra structure on the cohomology H^k(GL_nZ\; Q)\, and describe how this helps in finding new cohomology classes.

They correspond respectively to non-cooperative or cooperative scenarios\, and the goals of their analyses are to find the Nash equilibriums and social optimums. These frameworks provide approximate solutions to situations with a finite number of players and have found a wide range of applications\, from economics to biology and machine learning. In this paper\, we study how the players can transition from a non-cooperative to a cooperative regime\, and back. The first direction is reminiscent of mechanism design\, in which the game's definition is modified so that non-cooperative players reach an outcome similar to a cooperative scenario. To better understand the second direction we introduce the \"price of instability\" and study how players that are initially cooperative gradually deviate from a social optimum to reach a Nash equilibrium when they decide to optimize their individual cost very much in the spirit of the \"free rider\" phenomenon. To formalize these connections\, we introduce two new classes of games which lie between MFG and MFC: $\lambda$-interpolated mean field games\, in which the cost of an individual player is a $\lambda$-interpolation of the MFG and the MFC costs\, and $p$-partial mean field games\, in which a proportion $p$ of the population deviates from the social optimum by playing the game non-cooperatively. We shallconclude with algorithm for myopic players to learn a $p$-partial mean field equilibrium\, and we illustrate it on a stylized model.\n\nJoint work with G. Dayanikli\, M. Lauriere and F.

Cook & His Michigan Law Quad DESCRIPTION:“American institutions are of more consequence than the wealth or power of the country.” At least that’s what the wealthy lawyer William W. Cook believed. And from 1922-1930\, Cook acted on that belief by creating a magnificent law school for his alma mater: the University of Michigan. Retired Director of the U-M Law Library Margaret Leary will share the story of Cook’s gift and how it—and the clashes over it—not only created Michigan’s iconic Law Quadrangle\, but also helped inspire a wave of donations that reshaped the University.\n\n\n\nMargaret Leary is Librarian Emerita of the University of Michigan Law School\, having served as Director of the Law Library from 1984 to 2011. For many years she served on American Bar Association teams that visited law schools seeking re-accreditation and worked as a consultant to law libraries around the world giving her wide-ranging exposure to the ways law schools teach and operate. A long-time member of the Ann Arbor District Library Board\, she also writes about local issues for the Ann Arbor Observer and is a volunteer researcher on the Bentley Historical Library’s African American Student Project.

Born in Ayrshire\, Scotland to parents who were factory workers\, he moved to Canada when he was twelve. For decades\, he worked across Canada in rail yards\, construction sites\, and in the Yukon bush\, all the while writing poetry\, setting it to melodies in his head and singing it to himself as he worked. \n\nA truly authentic folk singer\, Francey is a documentarian of the working person who never imagined earning a living from his music. But when he was in his 40s\, his wife\, artist Beth Girdler\, encouraged him to share his songs and sing in public. The reaction was instant. His first album Torn Screen Door came out in 1999 and was a hit in Canada.\n\nSince then\, David has released thirteen albums\, won four Juno Awards and has had his songs covered by such artists as The Del McCoury Band\, The Rankin Family\, James Keelaghan and Tracy Grammer.\n\nFrancey also had the honor of receiving the prestigious SOCAN Folk Music Award as well as taking home the Grand Prize in both the International Acoustic Music Award and in the Folk category for the John Lennon Songwriting Award.

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.

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

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

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.

Indeed\, funding agencies almost always require grant applicants to present compelling a priori power analyses to justify proposed sample sizes\, in an effort to ensure a sound investment. Unfortunately\, even researchers’ most sincere attempts at sample size planning are fraught with the fundamental challenge of setting numerical values not just for the focal parameters for which statistical tests are planned\, but for each of the model’s other more peripheral or contextual parameters as well. As we plainly demonstrate\, regarding the latter parameters\, even in very simple models well-intentioned numerical guesses that are even slightly off can undermine power for the assessment of the more focal parameters that are of key theoretical interest. Toward remedying this all-too-common but seemingly underestimated problem in power analysis\, we adopt a hope-for-the-best-but-plan-for-the-worst mindset and present new methods that attempt (1) to restore appropriate conservatism and robustness\, and in turn credibility\, to the sample size planning process\, and (2) to greatly simplify that process. Derivations and suggestions for practice are presented using the framework of measured variable path analysis models as they subsume many of the types of models (e.g.\, multiple linear regression\, ANOVA) for which sample size planning is of interest.

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.

The explainability framework (based on gradient SHAP) is applied to each grid point in the domain\, and through percolation analysis we identify coherent flow regions of high importance. These regions have around 70% overlap with the intense Reynolds-stress (Q) events in two-dimensional vertical planes. Interestingly\, these importance-based structures have high overlap with classical turbulence structures (Q events\, streaks and vortex clusters) in different wall-normal locations\, suggesting that this new framework provides a more comprehensive way to study turbulence. We also discuss the application of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to discover active-flow-control strategies for turbulent flows\, including turbulent channels\, three-dimensional cylinders and turbulent separation bubbles. In all the cases\, the discovered DRL-based strategies significantly outperform classical flow-control approaches. We conclude that DRL has tremendous potential for drag reduction in a wide range of complex turbulent-flow configurations.\n\nBio: Dr. Ricardo Vinuesa is joining the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan in the Fall of 2025.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Causal inference traditionally relies on tabular data\, where treatments\, outcomes\, and covariates are manually collected and labeled. However\, many real-world problems involve unstructured data—images\, text\, and videos—where treatments or outcomes are high-dimensional and unstructured\, or all causal variables are hidden within the unstructured observations. This talk explores causal inference in such settings.\n\nWe begin with cases where all causal variables (including treatments\, outcomes\, covariates) are hidden in unstructured observations. These causal problems require a crucial first step\, extracting high-level latent causal factors from raw unstructured inputs. We develop algorithms to identify these factors. While traditional methods often assume statistical independence\, causal factors are often correlated or causally connected. Our key observation is that\, despite correlations\, the causal connections (or the lack of) among factors leave geometric signatures in the latent factors' support - the ranges of values each can take. These signatures allow us to provably identify latent causal factors from passive observations\, interventions\, or multi-domain datasets (up to different transformations).\n\nNext\, we tackle cases where unstructured data itself serves as either the treatment or the outcome. In these cases\, standard causal queries like average treatment effect (ATE) are not suitable—subtracting one text\, image\, or video outcome from another is meaningless. High-dimensional unstructured treatments also challenge the overlap assumption required for causal identification. To address these challenges\, we propose new causal queries: for unstructured outcomes\, we pinpoint outcome features most affected by the treatment\; for unstructured treatments\, we identify influential treatment features driving outcome differences. Finally\, we extend these ideas to decision-making algorithms\, such as optimizing natural language actions for desired outcomes.\n\nhttps://yixinwang.github.io/ UID:132381-21870848@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132381 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250128T093843 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250214T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250214T143000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Story Lab Winter Retreats DESCRIPTION:Story Lab develops executive-level presence and communication skills through storytelling workshops and events.

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:84303-21621519@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:20250214T092107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250214T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250214T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Washtenaw County Health Department Tour (Undergraduate) DESCRIPTION:Come join Lauren Czarnowczan from the Practice Office in collaboration with Patty Krause\, Community Health Analyst\, with the Washtenaw County Health Department for a tour\, conversation\, and fun activities centered around public health on Friday\, February 14 from 10:00-11:30. **This date is specifically reserved for undergraduate public health students. This is a great opportunity to learn more about local public health and to network. Space is limited to 10 seats.

On Friday\, February 14th\, we will meet for our first open Office Hours session to troubleshoot participant projects. \;Register and learn more: https://nebigdatahub.org/drm-project/ \;The Data &\; Research Methods project is perfect for beginners who have never worked with a dataset before. This project will also be helpful for advanced data science students who have little experience working with data cleaning or survey building\, desk research\, or data visualizations. \;The focus of this project is the research process as a whole.It is the first day of your new job as the Junior Data Scientist forthe Office of the Mayor in the fictional town of Data Lake\, West Dakota.The population of Data Lake (314\,159) has grown rapidly since 2020 as a number of remote workers have relocated to the mid-size city. Mayor “Tess Ellation” has tasked your office with a project – to learn more about the specific needs of the town’s new remote work population. She asks you to review data on remote workers provided by the U.S. Census Bureau and come back to her with at least two data-driven policy recommendations which will support these new Data Lake families (for example\, a policy recommendation might be: build new coworking spaces downtown). Your policy recommendations must be informed by data analysis or Mayor Ellation will not adopt them. \;Participants will clean a dataset\, learn about the ethics of data science research\, do some preliminary analysis\,and develop a working hypothesis about the impact of remote work policies. You'll build some simple data visualizations\, test your hypotheses\, write up a short conclusion\, and prepare a final report for Mayor Ellation. \;There are 9 Milestones in this project. There are several Tasks you need to complete within each Milestone. This project should take you no more than 30 hours to finish. Depending on your skill level\, it maytake you less time.In this project\, you will learn using a combination of videos\, articles\, and external data work in spreadsheets. Our team has provided you with several external links and resources which will supplement your learning.Project participants who complete Milestones 1-9 in accordance with these instructions will receive a Certificate ofCompletion from the NSDC Project Team. \; UID:132586-21871310@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132586 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250121T155115 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250214T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250214T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Douglass Day 2025 DESCRIPTION:We invite you to a birthday party for Frederick Douglass.

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).
