SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. 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).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Kelbaugh Lecture: Ellen Dunham-Jones
DESCRIPTION:Dead malls\, dying office parks\, aging commercial strip corridors and other parking lot-dominated properties provide communities with the opportunity sites to address new challenges from climate change to social equity that suburbia was never designed for. Drawing on her two co-authored award-winning books and unique database of over 2\,500 suburban retrofits\, Ellen Dunham-Jones will share successful case studies that have redeveloped\, re-used\, and/or regreened these sites into more just\, healthy\, and prosperous places.\n\nEllen Dunham-Jones is a professor of architecture and directs the MS in Urban Design at the Georgia Institute of Technology.  An authority on sustainable suburban redevelopment\, she maintains a unique database of over 2\,500 suburban retrofits\, hosts the REDESIGNING CITIES podcast series\, was Architectural Record’s 2018-19 Woman Educator of the year\, was recognized in 2023 and 2017 by Planetizen as one of the 100 most influential urbanists\, was the 2023 Plym Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Illinois asking “what would a non-sexist suburb be like?”\, and will be awarded The Seaside Prize in February 2025 along with her co-author June Williamson.\n\nShe is co-author with June of two award-winning books: Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban Design Solutions for Redesigning Suburbs\, (Wiley\, 2009\, 2011\, Mandarin 2013) received a PROSE award as best architecture and planning book of 2009. The sequel\, Case Studies in Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban Strategies for Urgent Challenges (Wiley\, 2021) received the Book of the year award from the Environmental Design Research Association. This book series documents how successful retrofits of aging shopping centers\, strip mall corridors\, office parks\, and other parking-lot dominated properties are helping their communities disrupt automobile dependence\, improve public health\, support an aging population\, leverage social capital for equity\, compete for jobs\, and add water and energy resilience. The work has been featured in The New York Times\, Harvard Business Review\, PBS\, NPR\, TED and other prominent venues.\n\nShe is a Fellow of the Congress for the New Urbanism as well as the Brook Byers Institute of Sustainable Systems\, serves on the Urban Deisgn Academic Council steering committee\, lectures widely\, and conducts workshops and research on the many co-benefits of retrofitting – as well as on the potential urban design impacts of autonomous vehicles. She has BS and M.Arch degrees from Princeton University\, practiced architecture for 20 years\, and taught at UVA and MIT before being recruited to direct the Architecture Program at Georgia Tech in 2000.\n\nThe Douglas S. Kelbaugh Lecture is generously funded through an endowed fund given by Douglas Kelbaugh and Kathleen Nolan to support an annual public lecture on the topic of urban design. The contributions of Douglas Kelbaugh\, FAIA\, FCNU\, professor emeritus of architecture and urban and regional planning and dean emeritus of Taubman College\, to the field of sustainable architecture and urban planning\, the Taubman College community\, cities\, and the education of students will continue to create a positive impact in the world for years to come\, including through the annual Kelbaugh Lecture.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | What Do Japanese People Want From Their Constitution?
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in room 1010\, Weiser Hall\, and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. \n\nRegister for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/XGpyJ.\n   \n   The Constitution of Japan is the oldest unamended constitution in the world\, but debates over its revision have picked up steam in the last decade. Various Liberal Democratic Party leaders have declared constitutional change a top priority\, but it is unclear whether the public shares their commitment. This talk focuses on a specific distinction: whether amendments are perceived to be necessary (present urgency) versus desirable (future improvement). Professor McElwain will discuss this difference using evidence from comparative constitutional data and survey experiments in Japan.\n   \n   Kenneth Mori McElwain is a professor of comparative politics at the Institute of Social Science\, University of Tokyo. His research focuses on comparative institutions and Japanese politics\, with a particular emphasis on constitutional design and change. He holds a BA in public and international affairs from Princeton University and a PhD in political science from Stanford University\, and he was an assistant professor of political science at the University of Michigan before assuming his current position. During the 2024-25 academic year\, he is a Visiting Professor of Japanese politics at Columbia University.\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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Colorism Multimedia Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Colorism comprises works of video\, still photography\, and sculpture questioning our psychosocial and biological ideas about skin color and treatment of people\, based on skin tones\, including within racial groups. This exhibit asks: What do we know about the root causes of prejudice toward skin color? What can we do to improve interpersonal and structural colorism? To answer these questions\, Prof. Rogério Pinto (Social Work) uses personal and historical materials and interview data to optimize audience interaction\, including critical dialogues around colorism while audiences are viewing the installation or immediately after viewing it.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IOE 899 Seminar: Inigo Incer\, U-M ECE
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 20 to hear\, Inigo Incer give his talk titled \"Designing Complex Systems Using Assume-Guarantee Contracts\"\n\nAbstract: Systems companies struggle to integrate complex design components coming from various providers. The news of recalls and re-certifications in the automotive and aerospace industries is an eloquent testimony to the difficulty of system design. Many voices from government agencies\, industry\, and academia have thus called for the development of theoretical and practical tools to provide assurance of the correctness of our complex systems.\n\nAssume guarantee contracts provide a theoretical and methodological framework to compositionally design systems with rigorous guarantees. In this talk\, we will introduce contracts and their algebraic operations through case studies in space mission design and autonomous driving that show where current system design methodologies struggle. We will also introduce Pacti\, a software package that enables engineers to carry out system-level design using contracts.\n\nBio: Inigo Incer is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan\, where he leads the Complex Engineering Systems Laboratory. He obtained his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley in 2022 and was subsequently a postdoctoral researcher at Caltech. He is interested in all aspects of cyber-physical systems\, emphasizing formal methods and AI that support their compositional design and analysis.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology seminar: A classifying space for the mapping class group of 3-dimensional handlebodies
DESCRIPTION:The mapping class group of 2-dimensional surfaces (of genus g) admits as a classifying space the moduli space M_g. This moduli space also happens to classify various structures of interest that one can consider on a surface (for ex. complex structures\, conformal structures\, Riemannian metrics\,..)\, and a geometric model for this classifying space is obtained as the quotient of the Teichmuller space by the mapping class group.\nIn joint work with Dan Petersen we described a model for the classifying space of the mapping class group of 3-dimensional handlebodies as an explicit open subspace of M_g.\nAfter introducing the objects of interest and motivating their study\, I will discuss some consequences of our construction and\, time permitting\, I will present some ideas of the proof that this space is indeed a classifying space.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nOptical imaging is one of the most powerful imaging modalities due to its non-invasive nature\, versatility\, and ability to visualize phenomena across multiple scales. A key challenge in the field is capturing multi-dimensional data\, such as polarization\, phase\, and fluorescence lifetime\, with high precision and efficiency\; these data provide a deeper understanding of various biomedical processes. This talk focuses on two recent advancements in optical imaging that address this critical challenge.\n\nThe first part focuses on single-molecule orientation localization microscopy. Fluorescent molecules behave as oscillating dipoles\, with their dipole orientations affecting both absorption and emission processes. By leveraging the principles of light-matter interactions and advanced statistical tools\, we have developed imaging systems capable of not only measuring the positions of individual fluorescent molecules with nanoscale resolution but also determining their orientations. This capability offers unparalleled insights into biophysical phenomena\, such as membrane-protein interactions.\n\nThe second part covers advances in computational imaging\, where optical systems are combined with computational tools\, from closed-form mathematical relations to state-of-the-art neural network-based approaches\, to enable unique multi-modal imaging and high-throughput data acquisition. Examples include a bimodal imaging system that integrates 3D fluorescence with quantitative phase imaging\, and a single-shot volumetric fluorescence imaging system capable of capturing an entire 3D scene in a single snapshot.\n\nThese advancements demonstrate the integration of optical physics\, engineering\, and computational methods to enhance the capabilities of optical imaging for biomedical applications and biophotonics.\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94337625486

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy Distinguished Alumna Colloquium 2024-2025 presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"How to Reionize the Universe: Lessons from Low Redshift\"\n\nThe reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at z > 6 is one of the major transformations in the universe’s history\, but we do not yet know which galaxies were responsible for this event. Unfortunately\, IGM absorption prevents us from directly measuring escaping ionizing Lyman continuum (LyC) photons from z>6 galaxies. Instead\, we must investigate LyC escape using lower-redshift samples. To address this issue\, we have undertaken the Low-redshift Lyman Continuum Survey\, the largest survey of LyC emission at low redshift. With HST UV observations of 66 galaxies\, this survey has nearly tripled the number of low-redshift LyC detections\, enabling us to systematically test proposed indirect diagnostics of LyC and establish the physical properties of LyC-emitting galaxies. I will share recent results from the survey\, which is giving us new insights into feedback and the interstellar medium in highly star-forming galaxies and revealing the possible properties of the galaxies that reionized the Universe.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Bioanalytical Applications and Fundamental Studies Enabled by High-Resolution Cyclic Ion Mobility Separations Coupled to Mass Spectrometry
DESCRIPTION:Ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry has emerged as an orthogonal and complementary analytical technique to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in omics-based analyses. Carbohydrate-containing molecules\, such as human milk oligosaccharides and glycolipids\, are notoriously difficult to characterize\, largely owing to their high degrees of isomeric heterogeneity. Thus\, new analytical methodologies are required to improve the confidence of their characterization. In the first portion of this seminar\, the use of cyclic ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (cIMS-MS) in conjunction with multiple tandem mass spectrometry-based strategies is presented as a new method toward the de novo sequencing of carbohydrate-based molecules. \n\nRecently\, new insights from high-resolution ion mobility separations have revealed that mass distribution-based effects are responsible for the separation of isotopologues and isotopomers – an observation which should be impossible based on existing theory. In the second portion of this seminar\, the use of isotopic shifts to delineate amongst isomers and conformers will be discussed. Additionally\, the development of both experimental and theoretical approaches to better understand the fundamental nature of mass distribution-based isotopic shifts will also be presented.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Branford Marsalis - A life of art and engagement
DESCRIPTION:Grammy-winning saxophonist Branford Marsalis will take time from his performance schedule to share his insights into the relationship between art\, culture\, and public policy and activism. He will look back at his career\, which has spanned jazz and classical music\, Broadway and tv\, pop music collaborations\, and his deep involvement in his hometown of New Orleans.\n\nSpeaker bio:\n\nGrowing up in the rich environment of New Orleans as the oldest son of pianist and educator Ellis Marsalis\, Branford was drawn to music along with his younger siblings Wynton\, Delfeayo\, and Jason. His first instrument\, the clarinet\, gave way to the alto\, and then the tenor and soprano saxophones\; from there\, he expanded his musical universe and now fully embraces both jazz and Western classical music\, in addition to a burgeoning career as a composer.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Empire of Refugees Book Discussion with Dr. Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky and the Central Asian Studies RIW
DESCRIPTION:Dear all\,\nI write with good (fantastic) news - on Thursday\, February 20th\, at 4:00pm on Zoom the Central Asian Studies RIW is hosting a discussion with Dr. Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky to discuss his new book\, Empire of Refugees: North Caucasian Muslims and the Late Ottoman State. You can find his new book available online here from the University of Michigan's library: https://search.lib.umich.edu/catalog/record/99187946124306381?query=empire+of+refugees&utm_source=lib-home . \nIf you wish to attend this meeting\, please register for the Zoom here: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/LjCbGg9gSjmTlAn8FG7eqg \nDr. Hamed-Troyansky will speak for about 5 minutes to introduce his book and then the rest of the hour will be spent as a Q and A. Participants will be able to ask him about his book's argument\, his process of conducting archival research for this book\, and the process of turning his dissertation into a monograph. Participants should come having read his book\, or at least some parts (or even just one chapter) of it. \nDr. Hamed-Troyansky is a historian of global migration and forced displacement and Assistant Professor of Global Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. His research examines Muslim refugee migration and its role in shaping the modern world. He is the author of Empire of Refugees: North Caucasian Muslims and the Late Ottoman State (Stanford University Press\, 2024). Dr. Hamed-Troyansky is currently working on a transnational history of Muslim displacement in the Middle East\, Central Asia\, and South Asia since 1850. \nEmpire of Refugees reframes late Ottoman history through mass displacement and reveals the origins of refugee resettlement in the modern Middle East. Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky offers a historiographical corrective: the nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire created a refugee regime\, predating refugee systems set up by the League of Nations and the United Nations. Grounded in archival research in over twenty public and private archives across ten countries\, this book contests the boundaries typically assumed between forced and voluntary migration\, and refugees and immigrants\, rewriting the history of Muslim migration in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book has already won two awards - 2024 Gold Medal in the History (World) category\, Independent Publisher Book Awards and 2024 Alixa Naff Prize in Migration Studies\, Moise A. Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies . \n\nDr. Hamed-Troyansky has made this  digital map of over 1\,100 North Caucasian refugee villages in Turkey\, Jordan\, Syria\, and Iraq.\n I'll hope to see you all at the event! If anyone is interested in workshopping articles-in-process or dissertation chapters in March or April with the Central Asian Studies RIW please write me to let me know.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Patricia Hall\, “Bringing the Composer’s Workshop into the Classroom”
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture by Patricia Hall (Prof. Emeritus of Music\, Department of Music Theory) in honor of her 2024 Teaching Excellence Award from the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.\n\n\"Music manuscripts revealing a composer’s compositional process can give valuable insights to undergraduate students\, even in their early stages of study. In this presentation I examine manuscripts by Beethoven\, Berg and Bartholomew and discuss ways that a compositional approach to music theory instruction might engender a more open and creative atmosphere while still incorporating the rigor of harmony and voice-leading rules.\"\n\nPATRICIA HALL is the author of *A View of Berg’s Lulu Through the Autograph Sources* (University of California Press\, 1997\, winner of the ASCAP Deems-Taylor Award)\, *Berg’s Wozzeck* (Oxford University Press\, 2011)\, co-editor with Friedemann Sallis of *A Handbook to Twentieth-Century Musical Sketches* (Cambridge University Press\, 2012) and general editor of *The Oxford Handbook of Music Censorship* (Oxford University Press\, 2017). Hall founded the online journal *Music & Politics* and was editor from 2007 to 2017. She served as the president of the Society for Music Theory from 2019 through 2021. She has been researching manuscripts at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum for the last eight years and was recently interviewed on *PBS News Hour*. Performances of the Music from Auschwitz manuscripts will be taking place in January 2025 for International Holocaust Remembrance Day at Wigmore Hall\, London\, Music of Remembrance\, Seattle\, and at the Auschwitz and Dachau Memorials.\n\nhttps://smtd.umich.edu/smtd-announces-recipients-of-2024-teaching-awards/

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Place of Theory in Babylonian Astral Science
DESCRIPTION:Ancient Babylonian scholars interacted with the night sky in several ways: they regularly observed a range of lunar and planetary phenomena and kept systematic records of these observations\; they developed methods of calculating future astronomical phenomena\; they created mathematical schemes to describe astronomical phenomena\; they interpreted astronomical phenomena through systems of astrology\; and they applied their astronomical knowledge to address various societal needs\, including the regulation of the calendar and fixing the time of cultic rituals and festivals. Babylonian approaches to describing and calculating astronomical phenomena were primarily – though\, as I will show\, not exclusively – through numerical modelling rather than by means of geometrical or physical models. Therein lies the rub: some historians claim that geometrical models and physical theories are a requirement of science\, and therefore\, they judge Babylonian astronomy as falling short of being true science. In this talk\, I will discuss whether this is an appropriate way to understand whether an early astronomy is scientific and\, more to the point\, show that Babylonian scholars did indeed construct theories of the behaviour of the sun\, moon\, and planets but that historians have usually been looking in the wrong place to find those theories.\n\nJohn Steele is the Charles Edwin Wilbour Professor of Egyptology and Assyriology at Brown University. He received his BSc (1995) and PhD (1998) from Durham University and has previously taught at Durham University and the University of Toronto. Prior to taking up his current position at Brown in 2008\, he held a Royal Society University Research Fellowship at Durham. Steele is a historian of astronomy who specializes in the history of the Babylonian astral sciences\, the circulation of astral knowledge\, and the early modern reception and use of ancient astronomy. He is the author or editor of several books twenty books\, including recently The Babylonian Astronomical Compendium MUL.APIN (Routledge\, 2019\; co-authored with Hermann Hunger) and The Allure of the Ancient: Receptions of the Ancient Middle East\, ca. 1600-1800 (Brill\, 2022\; co-edited with Margaret Geoga).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Tiff Massey
DESCRIPTION:Tiff Massey is an artist whose practice centers around adornment and community. Massey creates jewelry\, sculpture\, performance\, video\, music\, and immersive environments with large-scale jewelry pieces and quilts. Massey was the first Black woman to earn an MFA in metalsmithing from the Cranbrook Academy of Art. She draws on 1980s hip-hop culture and her experiences as a Detroit native to explore the concept of adornment in African diaspora and contemporary issues surrounding race\, class\, and popular culture.\n\nMassey merges her art practice with meaningful community engagement to explore the relationship between identity\, public space\, and community. Her installation 7 Mile + Livernois\, currently on display at the Detroit Institute of Arts\, refers to the neighborhood at the heart of Detroit’s Black business and fashion district. It is also where Massey grew up\, and the site of a new art and community space Massey is building that blends her craft with her drive for community kinship. \n\nTiff Massey’s art has been featured in solo and group shows around the US and internationally\, and has garnered multiple awards. Massey’s work is in the permanent collections of many institutions\, including the Museum of Art and Design in New York and the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia. She is the winner of the 2021 United States Artists Fellowship and the 2019 Art Jewelry Forum Susan Beech Mid-Career Artist Grant\, a two-time winner of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation’s Knights Arts Challenge\, and a 2015 Kresge Artists Fellowship recipient. \nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books.

SUMMARY:Performance:A Few Good Men
DESCRIPTION:Set in 1986\, this compelling drama alternates between the US Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay\, Cuba\, and a courtroom in Washington\, DC\, examining a crime that challenges notions of honor\, duty\, and truth. PFC William Santiago\, a young Marine who is considered a “weak link” in his unit\, has died as a result of actions taken by two of his fellow marines. Lance Corporal Harold Dawson and PFC Louden Downey claim Santiago’s death was the accidental outcome of a routine hazing incident ordered by a superior officer. Their superior officers claim there was no such order and that the two men should be held accountable.\n\nDefending Dawson and Downey are three Navy attorneys who hold their own complicated (and sometimes conflicting) ideas of duty and honor: Daniel Kaffee\, the son of a renowned lawyer whose career casts a long shadow\; Sam Weinberg\, who will do his best to defend the accused in spite of his suspicion that they are bullies\; and Joanne Galloway\, a lieutenant commander with strong instincts and minimal courtroom experience who is dead set on uncovering the truth no matter what. This fast-paced\, high-stakes play raises timeless questions about the price of blind loyalty and the way ideals like honor and duty can be twisted until they are unrecognizable.\n\n\nWritten by Aaron Sorkin\nDirected by Geoff Packard\n\nRecommended Ages: 15+

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:8th Annual Building Power Conference: Building Power Toward Collective Liberation
DESCRIPTION:The mission of Building Power is to center community knowledge in the fight against white extremism. Often in academic spaces\, we do not learn from the activists\, community leaders and organizers doing the work in our communities. We want to flip this narrative and provide a space for community leaders to be the teachers\, and for students to engage in this type of learning in an accessible way. \nThis past year\, the world has become more aware of the ongoing struggles of many\, including Congo\, Sudan\, and Palestine. Although we are not there\, there is a sense of urgency and responsibility for us to also advocate for the liberation of these people in addition to our own selves. We recognize how these struggles that are happening across the world are happening parallel here. Dr. King said\, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality\, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly\, affects all indirectly.” Black freedom struggles in the United States have always had global dimensions and a deep impact on others across the world.\nFor the purposes of Building Power\, we will be using the following definition of collective liberation from the Center of Racial Justice in Education: Collective liberation acknowledges that multiple oppressions exist\, and that we work in solidarity to undo oppression in ourselves\, our families\, our communities\, and our institutions\, in order to achieve a world that is truly free. Black Radical Healing Pathways chose this topic for this year’s Building power because we wanted to explore the meaning of ujima (collective work and responsibility) in current day contexts and liberation movements. \nWhile we talk about global struggles\, it is imperative to remember that we have multiple liberation movements happening on US soil today that also require collective liberation. As we work within these movements\, having the knowledge of global struggles allows us to be more intentional in our work and advocacy. Keeping the essence of Building Power’s mission in mind\, we plan on inviting speakers who have diverse experiences in multiple liberation movement spaces with impacts here and abroad.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andy Ross Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chimera
DESCRIPTION:*Chimera* is an immersive exhibition centered on a newly commissioned film\, also titled *Chimera*\, which fuses elements from Newsome's prior works *Hands Performance* and *Build or Destroy* with a new interquel film that bridges their narratives. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Elizabeth Boyd-Hartmann Dizik Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This body of work represents a playful exploration of form\, color\, and scale through the lens of cellular shapes. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Red Summer: Racial Violence in the American Landscape\, 1917-1923
DESCRIPTION:The Red Summer portfolio represents the stories of various locations in the American landscape where racial violence (often characterized as “Race Wars” at the time) erupted between 1917 and 1923. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bookworm #76 - Author Conversation with Laura Helton \"Scattered and Fugitive Things: How Black Collectors Created Archives and Remade History\"  with Jason Young
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will discuss my recent book\, Scattered and Fugitive Things: How Black Collectors Created Archives and Remade History. This book tells the story of a remarkable generation of early twentieth-century bibliophiles\, librarians\, and scrapbook makers who dedicated themselves to documenting the history of African American life at a time when dominant institutions cast doubt on the value or even the idea of Black history. Traveling from the parlors of the urban north to HBCU reading rooms and branch libraries in the Jim Crow south\, Scattered and Fugitive Things draws on overlooked sources--such as book lists and card catalogs--to reveal the risks these collectors took to create Black archives. The book also explores the social life of collecting\, highlighting the communities that used these collections from the South Side of Chicago to Roanoke\, Virginia. In each case\, archiving was alive in the present\, a site of intellectual experiment\, creative abundance\, and political possibility.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Compensating & Recognizing Community Partners: Guidance for Faculty\, Researchers & Administrators at R1 Universities
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by Ginsberg Center\, OVPR PE+RI\, Engaged Learning Office - UMSI\, Detroit URC\, LSA Research Office\, and Office of the Associate Dean for Research\, Michigan Engineering \n\nCommunity partners make incredible contributions to research and student learning at U-M through their involvement in research projects\, course assignments\, clinical experiences\, advisory boards\, student internships\, guest speaking\, and more. While compensation for community partners is a foundation of ethical community-engagement practice\, the complex administrative and financial systems of R1 universities are not designed to easily facilitate such compensation.\n\nJoin us for an extraordinary panel of community engagement professionals from TRUCEN to share findings from their national survey of R1 universities on the challenges associated with compensating community partners who contribute to community engagement initiatives. In this session\, members of the TRUCEN Sustained Conversation Group on Cultivating Community Voice will discuss principles and philosophy for compensating partners that advocates can use in conversations with your colleagues in procurement\, finance\, HR\, fundraising\, and senior leadership. Our goal will be for attendees to consider how these principles and practices intersect with the University of Michigan’s institutional context\, and begin to identify next steps to simplify processes\, and reduce delays\, for compensating your community partners. The workshop will preview content being developed for a toolkit which will provide community engagement professionals and faculty members with 1) talking points to make a case for compensating community partners and 2) examples of promising processes and practices used by campuses across the country.\n\nFeaturing:\n\nDouglas Barrera - Associate Director for Faculty and Community Engagement\, UCLA Center for Community Engagement\, UCLA\nLaurel Hirt - Director of the Center for Community-Engaged Learning\, University of Minnesota\nMindi Levin - Founder and Director of SOURCE\, the community engagement and service-learning center of Johns Hopkins University Schools of Public Health\, Nursing\, and Medicine.\nMichelle Snitgen - Assistant Director\, Academic Programs\, Center for Community Engaged Learning\, Michigan State University\nChan Williams - Assistant Director for Academics and Operations\, MDP Program & Paul D. Coverdell Fellowship Program Coordinator\, Emory University\n\nOpen to faculty\, staff/admin\, post-docs & graduate students.

SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens
DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Xianyang Zhang\, Professor\, Department of Statistics\, Texas A&M University.
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The rapid adoption of large language models (LLMs)\, such as GPT-4 and Claude 3.5\, underscores the need to distinguish LLM-generated text from human-written content to mitigate the spread of misinformation\, misuse in education\, and LLM training data contamination. One promising approach to address this issue is the watermark technique\, which embeds subtle statistical signals into LLM-generated text to enable reliable identification. In this work\, we enhance watermark detection using adaptive methods that assign higher weights to tokens with smaller next-token probabilities (NTPs)\, where NTPs quantify the likelihood of a token appearing based on its preceding context. We rigorously analyze the Type I and Type II error of the proposed method and demonstrate its superior detection power through numerical experiments. Due to the unavailability of true prompts and\, thus\, true NTPs\, we introduce a prompt estimation method that identifies the most likely prompt from an instruction set to estimate NTPs. Furthermore\, we develop a statistical framework for segmenting text into watermarked and non-watermarked substrings by framing it as a change point detection problem. Extensive experiments validate the proposed methods\, demonstrating their effectiveness in detection\, segmentation\, and robustness.\n\n\nhttps://zhangxiany-tamu.github.io/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. 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

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Chicanas Changing History: The First 100 Symposium
DESCRIPTION:In-person and virtual registration: https://myumi.ch/3Qdx7\n\nChicanas Changing History: The First 100 Symposium at the University of Michigan is a two-day event that will explore how Chicana historians have transformed the way we do and understand history\, as well as who is included in U.S. history. The symposium will highlight the challenges Chicana historians have faced and continue to confront in the academy while we celebrate their outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the field of history\, with a particular focus on alumni and faculty from U-M. At this convening\, we will celebrate the official launch of the digital archive of The First 100: Chicanas Changing History\, which is maintained at the University of Michigan Library in Ann Arbor. The digital oral history archive is complemented by the project’s material artifacts\, which are housed at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History in Washington\, D.C.\n\nThe Chicanas Changing History symposium will include opening remarks by Dean Rosario Ceballo\, a keynote lecture by U-M alum Dr. Natalia Molina\, panel discussions\, public receptions\, an exhibition tour of La Raza Art and Media Collective\, 1975 – Today\, at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)\, and a ribbon-cutting to officially launch the digital archive at the U-M Library.\n\nThrough oral histories\, data collection\, exhibitions\, and public programs\, this project honors the contributions of the first 100 Chicanas to earn doctoral degrees in any field of history. It is also an intervention: interrogating the academy’s organizational culture that systematically excludes Chicanas is at the core of this initiative. The First 100: Chicanas Changing History was founded by Dr. Lorena Chambers\, who received her doctorate from the History Department at the University of Michigan.\n\nJoin us February 20-21\, 2025\, to learn about this archival project and how and why we need initiatives like this to create positive change.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Turning the Tide? The Potential Role of Marine-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal in Combatting Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Wil Burns\, Co-Director\, Institute for Responsible Carbon Removal\, American University & Associate Director\, Environmental Policy & Culture Program\, Northwestern University.\n\nIn the ensuing years after the entry into force of the Paris Agreement\, it has become increasingly obvious that achievement of its temperature objectives will require both aggressive emissions reduction initiatives and large-scale deployment of carbon dioxide removal/negative emissions technologies to either avoid passing critical climatic thresholds or address temperature “overshoot” scenarios. While much of the early research of carbon dioxide removal methods focused on terrestrial approaches\, there has been increasing attention to the potential role of the world’s oceans given both sustainability considerations and the fact that oceans already serve as a huge carbon sink\, with much additional potential for storing carbon. These options include ocean iron fertilization\, ocean alkalinization enhancement\, ocean upwelling/downwelling\, ocean biomass sinking.\n\nHowever\, research in this context\, as well as potential large-scale deployment of such options\, also poses potentially substantial risks to marine environments and key economic stakeholders. Moreover\, there is likely to be substantial public backlash to research absent the existence of a sound regulatory framework for risk assessment\, monitoring\, and public deliberation.\nThis presentation will include the potential risks and benefits posed by different ocean-based carbon dioxide removal options. It will also include a discussion of regulatory efforts to date by international treaty regimes\, and other potentially pertinent regimes\, including those with a marine regulatory focus\, as well as the potential role of the UNFCCC/Paris Agreement.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. 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).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Colorism Multimedia Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Colorism comprises works of video\, still photography\, and sculpture questioning our psychosocial and biological ideas about skin color and treatment of people\, based on skin tones\, including within racial groups. This exhibit asks: What do we know about the root causes of prejudice toward skin color? What can we do to improve interpersonal and structural colorism? To answer these questions\, Prof. Rogério Pinto (Social Work) uses personal and historical materials and interview data to optimize audience interaction\, including critical dialogues around colorism while audiences are viewing the installation or immediately after viewing it.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:New Research at Monte Negro\, Oaxaca
DESCRIPTION:Between 1937 and 1940\, a team of Mexican archaeologists led by Alfonso Caso excavated at Monte Negro\, a prehispanic settlement located atop a defensible mountaintop in western Oaxaca. Their efforts\, among the first scientific projects in Mexico\, yielded critical insights into social stratification\, ritual behavior\, and cultural development during the Late Formative Period (300-100 B.C.).\n\nExtensive archaeological survey projects in western Oaxaca have since placed Monte Negro in a regional context\, underscoring dramatic settlement pattern changes during this period. Investigations at the site since 2022 mark the first excavations in over 80 years and the first outside of the elite sector. This talk presents an overview of preliminary findings from the two most recent field seasons at Monte Negro.

The first quarter century of the self-determination era featured many great successes but mostly great frustrations often caused by federal reluctance to empower tribal nations. The second quarter century featured the rise of tribal political and economic power\, but many of the same frustrations\, this time more often caused by judicial decisions. As always\, Indigenous leaders look to both the past and the future in consequential decisions for their nations. This symposium brings together many of today's most influential Indigenous leaders to assess the last fifty years and imagine what the next quarter century brings. Panelists include Indigenous elected officials\, judges\, and lawyers at the federal\, state\, and Tribal levels.\n\nWashington Supreme Court Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis\, a citizen of the Pueblo of Laguna\, will deliver a keynote address on Saturday.\n\nPanel 1\, “The Past and Future of Indigenous Politics\,”\nFriday\, February 21 - Palmer Commons Forum Hall 1:30 – 3:00 PM\,\nThis panel will discuss the past and future of Indigenous people in politics and their service in elected or appointed political offices in the US state or federal government.\nSpeakers are:\n Bryan Newland is Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs and a citizen of the Bay Mills Indian Community.\nJeff Irwin is an elected member of the Michigan Senate and citizen of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.\n\nPanel 2\, “Lawyering Tribal Self-Determination\,”\nFriday\, February 21 - Palmer Commons Forum Hall 3:15 – 4:45 PM\,\nThis panel will address the underrepresentation of Indigenous people in law. Fifty years ago\, few Indigenous people were lawyers\, and almost no tribe was represented by Indigenous lawyers or law firms. Although there are many more Indigenous lawyers\, they are still terribly underrepresented in the field. This panel of Indigenous lawyers will discuss their professional journeys and the profession's future\nSpeakers are:\nWenona T. Singel is an Associate Professor of Law at Michigan State Law School and a citizen of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians \nDoreen Nanibaa McPaul is In-house counsel for Tohono O’Odham Nation\, leader of the Tribal In-House Counsel Association\, and citizen of the Navajo Nation.\nMitchell Forbes is a Staff Attorney at the Native American Rights Fund and a citizen of the Native Village of Shishmaref\n\nPanel 3\, “Indigenous Judging in Tribal and State Courts\,”\nSaturday\, February 22 - Michigan Union Anderson ABCD 10:00 – 11:30 AM\nPanel 3 will discuss Indigenous presence on the court. In 1975\, few Indigenous people served as judges in federal\, state\, and tribal courts. Now\, many Indigenous judges serve tribal communities\, but only a few serve federal and state court systems. This panel will address the past and future of Indigenous judging.\nSpeakers are: \nGregory H. Bigler is a Tribal judge\, lawyer\, and citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation\nAllie Greenleaf Maldonado is a Judge of the Michigan Court of Appeals and citizen of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians\n\nKeynote Address: \n\"Descendant Daughter\" by Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis.\nSaturday\, February 22 - Michigan Union Pendleton Room 12:30 – 1:45 PM\nJustice Raquel Montoya-Lewis is a Justice of the Washington Supreme Court\, a citizen of the Pueblo of Isleta\, and a descendant of the Pueblo of Laguna.\n\nPanel 4\, “International Indigenous Leadership”\nSaturday\, February 22 - Michigan Union Pendleton Room 2:00 – 3:30 PM\nwith Kyle Powys Whyte and Kristen Carpenter\,\nThis panel examines Indigenous participation in international spheres. Fifty years ago\, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was barely a dream. It is a reality\; however\, the United States lags behind in its implementation. This panel will address the future of international law principles regarding Indigenous peoples in the U.S.\nSpeakers are:\nKyle Powys Whyte is George Willis Pack Professor in the School for Environment and Sustainability and University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor at the University of Michigan. He is an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. \nKristen Carpenter is Council Tree Professor of Law at the University of Colorado Law School\nMark Trahant\, Former Editor-in-Chief\, Indian Country Today

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning to Sustain Success in Creative Industries: The Enduring Impact of Initial Novelty
DESCRIPTION:Creators who generate hit products enjoy outsize success in creative industries. But too often\, creators fail to learn from their initial hits\, as their subsequent products lack the audience appeal of their initial hits. In this paper\, I develop theory on learning transfer in creative work\, focusing on how creators’ learning is shaped by the novelty (vs. typicality) of their initial hits in creative industries. I propose that creators who develop relatively novel initial hits are more likely to transfer deep learning that enhances the audience appeal of their subsequent creations\, helping them generate additional hits after their initial one. I tested the theory using two studies: an archival study of 1\,601 book authors and a pre-registered experiment. The archival study showed that authors with novel initial hits had better subsequent hit rates—a likely indicator of learning—than authors with more-typical initial hits. The experiment provided causal evidence that creators learn more deeply and effectively from novel than typical initial hits. Whereas prior research emphasizes that individuals learn best from multiple episodes of success\, failure\, or both over time\, this research suggests creators who achieve novel initial hits can and do learn from one episode of extreme success.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:AIM Seminar:  Cyclic Block Optimization: How they work\, why they work\, and where they work
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  When facing challenging tasks in life\, one natural strategy is to solve simple sub-tasks one by one and hope that it eventually lead to somewhere better. Many challenging optimization problems in machine learning and scientific computing follow this approach—optimizing a small block of parameters cyclically\, one at a time. Notable examples include Sinkhorn’s algorithm for computing optimal transport maps and Schrödinger bridges\, as well as alternating least squares and multiplicative updates for matrix and tensor factorization. In this talk\, we will explore the principles behind these methods (block majorization-minimization)\, why they often require less parameter tuning than first-order gradient-based approaches (via second-order analysis)\, and their recent extensions to Riemannian manifolds\, with new results in Wasserstein variational inference. \nThis talk is based on recent works with Yuchen Li (UW)\, Joowon Lee (UW)\, Laura Balzano (Michigan)\, Deanna Needell (UCLA)\, and Sumit Mukerjee (Columbia). \n\nContact:  Laura Balzano

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | The Gauge Theory Bootstrap: Computing Pion amplitudes and low energy parameters from QCD.
DESCRIPTION:Under the assumption of confinement and chiral symmetry breaking the low energy description of QCD is in terms of an effective theory of pions whose properties (couplings) should be derived from the high energy Lagrangian (QCD). In this talk I will describe recent work in collaboration with Yifei He where we propose a bootstrap method to compute pion scattering phase shifts and low energy effective action coefficients. The method looks for the most general S-matrix that matches at low energy the tree level amplitudes of the non-linear sigma model and at high energy\, QCD sum rules and form factors. This is a theoretical/numerical calculation that uses as only data the pion mass\, pion decay constant fpi and the QCD parameters Nc=3\, Nf=2\, mq and alpha_s. The results are in reasonable agreement with experiment. In particular\, we find the rho(770)\, f2(1270) and rho(1450) resonances.  The interplay between the UV gauge theory and low energy pion physics is an example of a general situation where we know the microscopic theory as well as the effective theory of long wavelength fluctuations but we want to solve the strongly coupled dynamics at intermediate energies. The bootstrap builds a bridge  between the low and high energy by determining the consistent S-matrix that matches both and provides\, in this case\, a new direction to understand the strongly coupled physics of gauge theories.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: The Mckay Correspondence
DESCRIPTION:The Mckay Correspondence is a bijection between finite subgroups of SL(2\,C)\, rational double points on surfaces\, and the ADE Dynkin diagrams. This links various \"exceptional objects\" appearing in classifications\, for example\, associating the regular icosahedron to the E8 diagram. I will outline an explanation of the correspondence by relating the geometry of the minimal resolution of the quotient C^2/G to the representation theory of the finite subgroup G of SL(2\,C). I will also mention generalizations to higher dimensions and the setting of derived categories.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Webs\, pockets\, and buildings (Combinatorics seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Kuperberg’s SL_3 non-elliptic web basis consists of certain trivalent planar graphs. Fontaine--Kamnitzer--Kuperberg showed that their duals may be realized as subcomplexes of the affine building Delta(PGL_3). The result is a collection of CAT(0) triangulated surfaces related to the geometric Satake correspondence.\n\nRecently\, an SL(4) web basis was introduced by Gaetz--Pechenik--Pfannerer--Striker--S. which comes with \"moves\". We show the moves may be understood geometrically as forming \"pockets\"\, certain highly structured 3D simplicial subcomplexes of Delta(PGL_4). Special cases correspond to plane partitions\, alternating sign matrices\, tilings of the Aztec diamond\, and more. Joint with Christian Gaetz\, Jessica Striker\, and Haihan Wu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar (note special day): Shifted symplectic pushforwards
DESCRIPTION:Fundamental examples of symplectic varieties are moduli spaces of sheaves on K3 surfaces. This can be extended to higher-dimensional Calabi-Yau varieties through the concept of shifted symplectic structures in derived algebraic geometry. In this talk\, I will introduce a general operation of producing shifted symplectic stacks from given ones. Basic examples like cotangent bundles\, critical loci\, and Hamiltonian reduction can be understood as special cases of this operation. Moreover\, this unification enables us to provide an etale local structure theorem for shifted symplectic Artin stacks. I will briefly explain some applications to Donaldson-Thomas theory of Calabi-Yau 3-folds and 4-folds.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Articulation Work
DESCRIPTION:Attend via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/Jw117\n\nIf the entanglements of real estate and finance capital are pivotal in ongoing urban transformations in cities of the global south\, then a less visible but equally vital dimension is the process of land assembly on which residential and commercial real estate speculation and development are premised. This talk pries open the value chain of land assembly that underlies these transformations in a rapidly expanding peri-urban frontier of Bengaluru\, India. Drawing on detailed interviews with land market intermediaries\, operating across different scales\, who were instrumental in assembling agricultural land for a large apartment complex\, my talk shows how existing forms of social power and local knowledge are harnessed to create inter-scalar linkages that enable the creation and extraction of value in Indian real estate. It makes the case for understanding the economic and cultural work of intermediaries in animating land’s value chain as ‘articulation work’.\n   \n   Gidwani is an economic and labor geographer who works on agrarian and urban transformations. His co-edited book\, Chronicles of a Global City: Speculative Lives and Unsettled Futures in Bengaluru was recently published by University of Minnesota Press.\n   \n   Made possible with the generous support of the Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

DESCRIPTION:The talk will concern limiting distribution problems in the moduli space of k-dimensional lattices in $R^n$. These problems are motivated by classical lattice counting questions and serve as natural analogues of well-studied problems concerning orbits of lattice subgroups. I will present results from my recent joint work\, with a particular focus on an ongoing collaboration with Nimish Shah that resolves a conjecture by U. Shapira and O. Sargent concerning orthogonal lattices of integral vectors on hyperboloids.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Jack Martin is Professor of English and Linguistics at William & Mary in Virginia. He specializes in language documentation and has worked especially closely with tribes in the southeastern U.S. (Muscogee\, Choctaw\, Seminole\, Coushatta). He recently served as president of SSILA and is now coeditor of the journal IJAL.\n\nTitle: Applicatives in the Languages of the Southeastern U.S.: Similarities and Paths of Divergence.\nAbstract: The indigenous languages of the southeastern U.S. generally make use of dative applicatives\, instrumental applicatives\, and occasionally locative applicatives. I survey features of these languages from a typological perspective before focusing on specific differences in the uses of instrumental applicatives in Choctaw and Muscogee. While Choctaw appears to be relatively conservative\, Muscogee has extended the instrumental to include semi-classificatory uses where an object has parts or is contained in another. These languages help us understand the sources of applicatives and their possible evolution.

SUMMARY:Performance:Branford Marsalis Chamber Project
DESCRIPTION:Two nights after the Branford Marsalis Quartet’s UMS debut\, Branford brings his classical chops to Rackham Auditorium in a chamber music evening featuring two members of the U-M School of Music\, Theatre & Dance community: saxophone professor Timothy McAllister and collaborative pianist Liz Ames.\n\nGrowing up in the rich environment of New Orleans as the oldest son of pianist and educator Ellis Marsalis\, Branford was drawn to music along with his younger siblings Wynton\, Delfeayo\, and Jason. His first instrument\, the clarinet\, gave way to the alto\, and then the tenor and soprano saxophones\; from there\, he expanded his musical universe and now fully embraces both jazz and Western classical music\, in addition to a burgeoning career as a composer. When asked a few years ago whether he finds classical music or jazz harder\, the saxophonist said\, “Classical is harder. Jazz is like a story that you personalize\, but classical is a story where you can’t use your own words. It’s like reading Shakespeare or Chaucer. You have to develop the characters to make them believable\, but the words aren’t yours\, and you’re not going to change [them].”\n\nPROGRAM\nClaude Debussy Rhapsodie\, L. 98\nSally Beamish “First Light” from Divertimenti for Two Soprano saxophones and Piano\nKelly-Marie Murphy Unstoppable Fear Machine\nAdditional works to be announced\n\nFeatured Artists:\nBranford Marsalis\, saxophones\nTimothy McAllister\, saxophones\nLiz Ames\, piano

SUMMARY:Performance:A Few Good Men
DESCRIPTION:Set in 1986\, this compelling drama alternates between the US Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay\, Cuba\, and a courtroom in Washington\, DC\, examining a crime that challenges notions of honor\, duty\, and truth. PFC William Santiago\, a young Marine who is considered a “weak link” in his unit\, has died as a result of actions taken by two of his fellow marines. Lance Corporal Harold Dawson and PFC Louden Downey claim Santiago’s death was the accidental outcome of a routine hazing incident ordered by a superior officer. Their superior officers claim there was no such order and that the two men should be held accountable.\n\nDefending Dawson and Downey are three Navy attorneys who hold their own complicated (and sometimes conflicting) ideas of duty and honor: Daniel Kaffee\, the son of a renowned lawyer whose career casts a long shadow\; Sam Weinberg\, who will do his best to defend the accused in spite of his suspicion that they are bullies\; and Joanne Galloway\, a lieutenant commander with strong instincts and minimal courtroom experience who is dead set on uncovering the truth no matter what. This fast-paced\, high-stakes play raises timeless questions about the price of blind loyalty and the way ideals like honor and duty can be twisted until they are unrecognizable.\n\n\nWritten by Aaron Sorkin\nDirected by Geoff Packard\n\nRecommended Ages: 15+
